jumping from platform to platform is fun. Although it seems like the jump height is inconsistent, like when you are further down you jump higher and vice versa. I don't think I've seen the squid in the top 50% of the screen, it makes it kinda hard to gauge where you can jump to. There are also a lot of collisions, you have to avoid all platforms else you'll hit your head on them and lose - I suggest to make them one way, maybe by creating an empty that is positioned at the very bottom of the squid's hitbox and each platform has an empty at the top its hitbox, and when the squid's velocity is going downwards, all platforms with empties below the squid's empty's collisions are enabled and all the ones above are disabled.

The game mechanic is pretty genius, and the levels are thought out really well. Initially, as the only loop is in the screen wrapping, you think it's not fully utilized, but then the blue levels come in and integrate them way better AWESOME GAME!!

This is just really well designed - there are paths that having certain powerups lets you go through faster (one main one specifically) and finally getting it together and beating it feels really good.

Very cute art! I think the idea could be good but I think having just one objective doesn't really work, especially when you choose it over several times, it kinda makes it more than one level. It would be more interesting if the objectives stacked, so you would have to dodge meteors and catch snowflakes to beat the level, and then if you select dodge meteors again more meteors appear. As it stands it's kind of just a level selection screen.

This is a very slow start game, but it does pick up and get fun! I think the main issue is that watching the rollercoasters get to the end doesn't really have you do much, which is especially boring at the beginning, with you just clicking a button and, on top of that having to wait between each time you do it. I think watching the rollercoaster is the best part of the game (eventually), though, seeing the little guys fly out, I think it just needs more interaction. Maybe you could click on the little guys to catch them and save them or something and the rollercoaster starts automatically, I dunno. I stopped when I think I had too many carts and the start rollercoaster button stopped working, but I had fun!

The idea and especially the artwork are pretty good, but there wasn't really much thought at all going into my play session because all the combinations are shown to you when you hover your mouse. I think it would've been a lot better if the hints to make the different actions were the same as the ones on the bottom right, where it's a sentence and you have to figure out how to get there. 

Cool idea to use the theme! Making the food takes a bit of thought, what with thinking about the colours, but it does get a bit overwhelming at points.

Best game about shoving junk into a hole I've played! 

The aesthetic of the game is really cool and the story keeps you going.

While fun at first, after the face appears the gameplay of throwing stuff into a hole doesn't really change much. It could be better if there was a bit more to think about, like maybe the face moves up and down so you have to time your throw better to get it in, or you have to only throw in a certain type of trash for a time.

Nonetheless, very funky and fun! 

This is actually a really clever battle system! I was really thinking about the best options I had, until I unlocked the wizard and was able to stunlock the boss from ever doing anything. It was a bit confusing when the enemy changed his pattern, some notification would've been good. It was also a bit awkward changing the spells on the fly (while paused obviously, I mean without a real 'time' to do it?) - it might be an idea, which would fix both the problems, to have the game run in sections where the game pauses and you select the spells and then it runs for a set length without you being able to stop it, then it pauses and the monster's pattern changes and you can change yours. But it's a really interesting and cool game! The graphics were also brilliant.

Fun! It's cool to see the puzzles in games where the rules change. I got stuck on controlling nothing for quite a while and couldn't beat it, but there were some cool tricks in there, definitely. 

Cool idea, it just takes too long to speed up to really grab you. When I died I didn't want to restart cos it would take so long to get to where it got challenging again. Stopping while punching also ruined the flow a lot, it would be better to keep moving while punching. Art was pretty good though!

the movement was fun but the actual level was pretty boring to go through. I didn't see how your previous lives actually help you. I quit because I fell down a pit and had to restart which would take a while and wasn't very fun. I can see with some proper levels this being pretty good though.

Good music, really nice graphics, Unfortunately I couldn't beat it because there was one jump that was just too high on level 18. It's fun but hard - at points I feel it's unfair because there are several time-based obstacles at once that often aren't in sync and don't reset their positions when they die so you have to wait around a bit, which when paired with the difficulty can be annoying. Getting propelled by the orb was very fun though, I just wish you had at least a bit of control once you've used it cos there are quite a few 'so close' moments that are annoying. Good stuf!"!!!!!!!!

I would gamble all my cigarettes in this game if I could!!

lovely little game, sweet message at the end.

Pretty cool idea, I just wish there was more room on the board to be able to actually strategize on how to use the special moves to their best effects.

I was going to write about how confused I was and how waiting to be able to do anything was too long but then I saw you said the game was unfinished - sorry about that, it sounds like it could have been cool.

Thanks for catching that, I’ll try to fix it when I can.

All good man! Thanks for adding it there!

Pretty fun idea and game! I just wish it was more obvious what you should have eaten, sometimes you need to eat a specific combination of worms and flies but it doesn't tell you what the combination is, and so it's annoying to try and figure it out with trial and error.

The movement is very fun! Unfortunately I didn't complete the game because the camera is so very zoomed in it was hard to tell where I was.

Thanks! Sorry about the crash, that's probably poor optimisation on my end, but thanks!

Fun!! I wasn't expecting it to turn into a stealth game. I liked the difference between when you're near things you can hide under and when you're slowly crossing across the non-water parts, and how you learn the map a bit to figure out how to do that best. 

Fun game! At the start I thought it would be a bit simple because of how fast everything was being upgraded but the member system actually added a lot of planning, I found.

thanks

Really sorry about the dizzy thing, but thank you very much! It means a lot!

THANKS!!!! Yeah maybe I should have foreseen that...

sorry about that, but thank you!

oh damn yeah never saw the resemblance before

Thanks for the feedback! If I ever make a similar game, it may be best to have the splitting mechanic with an increased interaction range on the small fellas. 

you can get to the actual game by clicking while the text is still scrolling, which is weird because that's not an issue in the actual game part which also uses text boxes. Pretty funny game, really nice art although the actual combat is a bit janky unfortunately.

Thanks for the cool review! Sorry about the game over bug, I couldn't replicate it so I haven't been able to fix it yet, and sorry about the spawning on beginning. But thanks anyway! I'll see if I can update to fix the game in the future.

I'm very glad I was able to appeal to the urine experts, they've been big inspirations for me

Good Game!! It's a nice little puzzle and it's really impressive how you managed to create so many systems in the amount of time. Good job!

The platformer controller is pretty nice to use - but there's no way to beat the stage that I could tell and it doesn't seem to fit the theme at all.

Thank you! I don't know if you're talking about the camera angles or how they transition between them but they're both pretty bad haha. Sorry about that softlock. But thank you for the nice review!

Good game! I think there are probably more interesting things that could be done with not being able to see the blocks or just being able to place them, but it was a fun little romp!

Good game! It's very polished and both sides of the game were pretty fun. Not being able to share data directly between the games seems like it was a bit of an obstacle but I think the ways it was done overall were pretty clever and fun. The way both sides of the stories interacted and came together at the end made up for the shortcomings of those issues though. Well done!

the boss fight was somewhat interesting, but other than that I can't really say much about this. The character walks slow and can only jump, and if you die you have to go back to the beginning of the level, which doesn't take that long but because of the player's speed it feels like a slog. And the limitation doesn't impact the gameplay at all. 

I don't want to be completely negative, so I'll just say that if you want to improve for next time you should A. Respect the Player's time (Don't make anything overly slow and don't make them repeat too much of a segment they've already done) and B. Some kind of unique idea behind the game makes even a not too great game at least more interesting than a normal platformer with nothing that different.

I'm sorry about being so negative but I do hope you keep doing game jams, they're pretty fun and stuff!

Adding multiplayer to a jam game is pretty adventurous, so well done on that part! The game's very flashy and fast, which is fun, but unfortunately the mouse tracking doesn't work so you can't aim where to shoot.
