Because Game Jams aren't hard enough I'm going to challenge myself even further:
1. No game engine, just Raylib 6.0 and C

2. Web build of course but single executable for desktop platforms - no external asset files or libraries.

3. Minimum file size and maximum seriousness.

My game may suffer but it needs to learn that this is very serious business.

Yeah - I guess the hard part of puzzle type games is need some good playtesting which I didn't do. The answers were obvious to me but not to anyone else!

Thanks! My and my 5 year-old having great fun on the art and SFX

Yeah there are - just click the link (images) on the jam home page and put in your email address and they should send them to you.

I liked this game - took me the first level to get an idea of what was going on but really clever little strategy game with little critters!

Enjoyed this. Though I worry playing it too long would give me a real life fear of spiders (and butterflies!!). Great work on the destructible walls and cool way to unlock new areas and the panic audio got my heart rate up!

I wanted spiders on walls in my game too but couldn't get it working well enough in time. So pleased to see it working in the first game I played in this jam.

Nice work.

Thanks for the nice comments.

I should have done some play testing before the submission instead of after! Arrow keys to switch between rooms and while the spiders do stop coming I can't remember why I decided to do that...

I look forward to trying out your game (after work).

Wow thanks!

I really enjoyed this, played it solo. Had to eventually play it with an additional rule of keeping my equipment between runs because I kept dying a few rooms short of the end. But nicely put together. I'll play it with my son next time for a bit more role playing and less just dice rolling.

Beautiful little story. Very polished for 5 day's work. Well done!

Excellent  entry!

Fantastic art, gameplay and sticks to the theme of text and dialogue based.

Amazing work, I really enjoyed it.

Neither me

Great little game. Fun to play. Winning is fairly easy but you can continue on to make a nice graveyard. Good work.

Sure, I just made a git repo and linked there instead. The source is also on the game's download page.

Updated my submission.

Nice work! That's better than I can get :)

Been watching your game dev videos and love the idea. Only just realised the game was available here, played it and was not disappointed.

Love it - simple, beautiful, scope for more features if you choose to add them. Wish I had made this game :D

Definitely a more superior take than mine on the 'protect the pixel art Earth from flying space rocks' genre! Nice work, fun to plan and nice polished graphics.

I think, after the voted period, I'm going to have to update this game with some music! Challenge accepted.

Nice game mechanic and fun to play. I like the personality of the antagonist and the way the game builds in difficulty. The losing is good is perhaps a stretch but so was mine!

Nice game with a simple but interesting mechanic. I think I was struggling with collisions but otherwise it was fun to play, had a bit of strategy and great aesthetic and tunes

Nice game, well presented and plenty of 'juice'! Fun to play as well. Tricky to get a good score, sorry to all the little scorpions I accidentally killed along the way!

Thanks!

Thanks!

I did want to add BGM but I just didn't have time or really know what it should sound like.

yup, that was the most common issue!

Ha ha, made me laugh out loud. I really failed miserably - Merry Christmas!

Nice music, crazy driving game, but liked that it rewarded me for losing!

Nice pro-pollution spin on the genre! Loved the graphics and the destructible coral. Found the game very hard, never made it to the surface :(

We did consider showing what is coming and having a balance of wasted food $ and bills paid just ran out of time and stopped as soon as it was kind of fun. Maybe in a future update! Thanks for the feedback :)

Is it really short? I like a puzzle game and this has potential

Nice work, always impressed with a range of levels in a game jam ( my game jam games hardly ever have more than one!) Good puzzles and fun to play

Nice work making a single game for three jams at once. I think the rotation is a bit of a stretch but I guess its there! The game went from slow to too hard pretty quickly but was fun while it lasted!

I was hoping that the spatula returns home eventually but I really should have constrained it a little to stop it getting too far away or locked behind things.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try your game out after work!

Was getting right into this and then got an error. Will try again.

Very linear but with an interesting plot and a clean presentation. Will rate it once I give it another go.

Complicated game! I made a menu and ate some cookies. I guess I could have earned more money if I set things right, but my dessert burger and healthy pizza still brought me in some income.

I got a bit confused with the commands and needed to use the help system after every command! Also some commands need to use the name and some work with the index so I got in a tangle, your gameplay video helped.

I don't think its a bug... (famous last words).

Look at what he asks for when you ask him about the spider people, then make sure you have given him all three things.

The Professor can help if you give him the things he needs.

Having examined the crashed spaceship in the lake try:

> Ask professor herbert about dead spider

It might help, it might just get trickier from there! 

I'm sure I can get it running now, I'll give it a try this evening. Thanks!
