I really like how you manage to push the boundaries of what a game can be and do. Every year you keep surprising us! Love the art style, the story twists and reveals.

Thank you so much! That's a beautifully constructed bridge.

Thank YOU!

I can definitely see how that happens. Btw it doesn't affect my view or score of the game. I just though it is both close enough but also different enough that it had to be intentional, while still being legally distinct. I appreciate the clarification!

This might be my favorite Robot Party Jam game ever! It looks, plays and sounds great, and it's legit funny.

Gretchen's resemblance to Ren from Ren and Stimpy.

A strong follow-up to last year's effort! I really liked the story, the characters, and their art and voices. The game part was a little chaotic at first but I think I got the gist of it pretty quickly. There's one part about this game that had me go "hey? how? why? you can't..." the whole time, but then I remembered one of the awards.

Thank you for trying! I really appreciate the comments. I was a bit worried about the difficulty because I didn't do any outside playtesting, so I'm happy to hear the challenge felt balanced to you! By the way, the lava is not just a DSD thing, but as we all know, he works in mysterious ways...

That's a super charming game! The custom puppets are so good, and I also really enjoyed the writing, the simple game mechanics and the upgrades. I struggled a bit navigating around and hitting all the arrows, but I suppose that's just part of the nightmare (and the 90's point-and-click charm). It looks like y'all had fun making it, and it comes across in the game.

No worries! It's still one of my favorites. I'll probably play through it again after I've given the other games some time, to unlock the gallery.

I love how the game encourages to engage and collaborate with the community! The building mechanics worked very intuitively and the presentation is delightful.

I did run into a bad bug at the final challenge... I tried to set a base object after painting it, but it dropped down and I couldn't set a base anymore and got stuck. 

Thank you so much! I am stunned by the artwork you shared, so your words mean a lot to me <3. My approach with these, to keep up the pace, is to go with whatever comes out. And sometimes what comes out is... a horrifying straw creature.

This was such a fun ride, with so many memorable moments! Love how everything came together art, music, gameplay wise. It seems like y'all had a ton of fun making this game and it really shines through.

Thank you so much! For lending your voice to this weird project, and for your kind words. The bosses definitely shouldn't spawn twice, thanks for letting me know! Edit: found the bug, fixed it!

Thanks so much for your help! I added a bunch of little things and tweaked some numbers after your test run, that made the game just that much smoother.

The game is looking sick! Can't wait to play it.

I'm bad at devlogs, but... here's a short little teaser of the game I'm working on. 

The ground slam is very satisfying! Love the animations and the music, especially DSD's shop tune. Also I finally got around to reading DSD's tragic diary, and I highly recommend everyone to check it out. Awesome job all around!

Thank you so much! Considering your game has so many rats and bears I'm not entirely surprised by that pick :D

You're the kindest, egpNoodlez. Thank you!

I'm always worried about the writing as it's not my first language, so reading a comment like that is awesome. Thank you so much for playing!

A delight to play, read and look at!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you liked it. I kind of see it as a test to see if it's worth extending this to a bigger project.

As expected, this game is different from anything else, ever. It's hard to find the words for this, especially as I'm writing this without having seen all of it, probably, I don't know. There's always more to these than we see on the surface. But I want to share my appreciation for it and also try to understand my own feelings about it, especially because I don't think this game can be condensed to a simple rating.

This game is built on mystery, through its lack of direction, its deliberately course artstyle, and all of it amplified by AFB's own persona. But like most of their work, it doesn't feel like it's vague for vagueness-sake. We know there's meaning to it, but at the same time the game doesn't seem to rely on it. AFB is a master of minimalism, and conveying emotion through simple means. I instantly felt sorry for Seraphina, long before the game's text showed us why we should.

Walking across long bridges, falling down into the unknown, stepping on elevators and moving paint buckets, trying to get back up, the game instead offers time to reflect on other things, brief moments of silence within the dissonance of it all. Blepasaur's eerie music complements this perfectly, and I'm so happy this rare collab paid off.

In the end, this game made me question the way we interact with video games and what we expect from them. I wish we could see more games like this out there, even if I don't understand them fully. But I'm not sure if many people other than AFB are capable of making them.

Had a blast! Champ's music slaps.

Fun stuff! I managed to get to 97% after a bit of overtime (still looking for those pesky last two shreds). Awesome world with a lot of charm, detail, vibes and style. Very impressive!

Thank you so much, wujak. And also for your help. I want to add a feature to choose to retry fights as Walrus (it led to some last minute issues, so I had to cut it), so that should make that quest easier!

Thank you! And that's a great idea, I'll probably add it in along with some other features that I had to cut (after the jam ofc).

Awesome job by everyone involved! Love the music, the characters, their art and just the overall aesthetic.

Thank you so much! One of my goals was to improve on my work from last year, so your comment really warms my heart!

Haha that's fair :P I went back and forth trying to find the most readable Gothic style font out there (and also free to use). But I'm very happy you liked the game, so thank you very much!

Thanks, Leo! Looking forward to playing yours tonight as well!

Update (v1.1): the game now has a difficulty slider!

That's awesome to hear! Thank you very much.

No problem, and thank you!

He KNEW

Thank you, I appreciate that :). I'm going to play your game this weekend, it looked awesome on stream!

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! This game jam definitely inspired me to make more games in the future.

That is just a brilliant approach to the story, in true MGS fashion. Mind blown!
