Thank you, I appreciate it!  Yeah, unfortunately I ran out of time, so I didn't have a chance to add music or SFX.  I do like the idea of an online leaderboard as well!  Maybe in the future...  Thanks again!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for playing and for your review!  Yeah, the original concept I had was way too open-ended for a jam game (and also I definitely ran out of time) so I just decided to make it a short one-minute experience.  And I agree, finding the theoretical maximum would be interesting!  In my testing I already found some pretty broken strats, lol.  Thanks again!

Nice score!  Thank you for the kind words, I think I might just try to expand on this and add more plants and animals!

Thanks!  I'll go check it out!

Haha thanks!

What a cool game!  I love the atmosphere you created, and the background music was amazing for building tension.  Great job!

What a fun, unique game!  I liked the balance of deciding whether to keep exploring and looking for the green cells, fighting simple enemies to gain characters, or just trying to beeline for the stairs.  Certain levels really felt like I was exploring a dungeon in an RPG trying to avoid random encounters!  Echoing other reviewers, I found the dropped inputs a bit frustrating, and I wish the next pressed key wouldn't automatically skip over the game over screen, but overall this was a super creative and fun game!  (Also, BOB THE SCREAMER was too tough a miniboss for me!)

What a cute, chill game!  I liked all the dialogue options; it motivated me to go back and get all 3 endings!  I also really enjoyed the rain sounds and the rainy ambience, it was very calming!

Thanks so much!

Thanks!  Yes, I'm hoping to work on it a bit more and flesh out the gameplay further.  Thank you for playing!

Thank you very much for playing!  And that's a great score!!

What a fun twist on the game!  I was surprised how well the mechanics worked together; it felt completely natural!  Definitely put a smile on my face.  Nice job!

Such a fun game, took me back to playing similar games on my phone!  This game definitely has the "one more run" factor!  Beautiful visuals and lighting effects and super chill music.  Loved it!

Thank you! =D

Thank you!  Yeah I definitely have more ideas for this game; I might end up working on this a bit more...

Yes, this is definitely unfinished!  My original larger concept was to be more of an ecosystem simulator with different plants and animals, having predator/prey relationships, and you would have to try to unlock all of the different life forms and achievements while keeping the ecosystem balanced.  Unfortunately, I didn't have nearly as much time to work on this game as I thought, but I was happy to get a prototype out!  Thank you for playing!

Thank you so much!  Yeah if I had a little more time I would've added a proper tutorial, and maybe an indicator to show how much "hp" each piece of grass has.  This is definitely more of a prototype than a finished product!  Thanks again!

That's a great score!  Thanks so much for playing and for your kind words!!

Thanks!!  Yeah I ran out of time, so I wasn't able to implement a proper tutorial, whoops!  Thanks for playing!

Thanks so much, I appreciate it!

Hahaha thanks!  Yeah, I agree, the rabbits turned out really cute!  And yup, the gameplay is definitely lacking, as I totally ran out of time, but yes, CUTE RABBITS!!

Thanks very much!  Yeah I definitely had ideas to add in plants spreading, rabbits reproducing, and some predators to control the population, but I ran out of time!  Thank you for playing!

Thank you! =D

Haha  yeah I was happy with how the rabbit animation turned out!  Thank you for the kind words!

Thanks! Yeah haha I definitely ran out of time and wasn't able to implement my gameplay ideas or a proper tutorial!

Thank you!  And that's a great idea, thanks!!

This was a really fun game!  The visuals are great, everything looks very polished.  The game's difficulty ramped up nicely, and the limited turn speed of the rocket was a bit tricky and frustrating, but in a good way!  And I LOVED that music!!  Great job!

I really like the art direction, and I love the goofy concept, definitely put a smile on my face!  I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong or if it's a bug, but I played through multiple times, and each time at security, even though I cleared the conveyor belts of all offending items, I couldn't progress.  Was I missing something?

This is awesome, thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback!

I completely agree on these points.  As I was testing it, I felt like it needed another element to increase strategy and not just cook whatever you want and hope it sells.  Unfortunately, with the amount of time I had, I wasn't able to implement anything, so it's still really basic now.  And yeah, I totally had plans for more ingredients/dishes, and a way to use money, but again, time just slipped away as it tends to do.  =P

Thanks again!

Thanks!  Yeah, since I couldn't spend as much time as I wanted to, the game is really simple, but I agree that there is still at least a little bit of strategy to maximize sales.

And yikes, sorry to hear that!  I'm sure you guys still made an awesome game, regardless!  I'll be sure to check it out!

Yeah I definitely pulled a lot straight from Overcooked, haha!  Thanks so much! =D

Thanks so much!  Haha yeah I wondered if I should explain that you could put things on tables, but I really had to rush the tutorial lol.  Thanks for playing and for the kind words!

Thanks so much!

I played your game, it's great!  Really well done, and there was a nice level of challenge and suspense!  The movement felt good, and I really liked the walking animations and particle effects.  I also love the idea of trying to get 3 stars on each level, definitely gave it great replayability! Very nicely done!

Well now, it seems I 'misremembered' the submission deadline.  I thought it was the 21st at 10 AM, buuuut... I was one day off.

Whoops.

Well, if anyone feels like checking out my game anyway, please give it a try!  It's a cooking game.  Thanks!!

Thank you!!  Yeah if I keep working on this game, I'll probably make a section with a quick explanation of how to play each game.  But mashing is actually a legit strategy haha!

Thank you for playing!  My intention was for the games to be a bit difficult to start, but as you get used to playing them, you're slowly able to start multitasking (and the timer forces you to do so!)  =D

Super fun game!  Took me way back to playing ropers on Worms Armageddon, haha!  Really satisfying to swing around and carry momentum.  Also, I liked the idea of highlighting the player character, really helped you keep track of where you are.  (Edit: Also, thank you for making checkpoints!!)

Had a few little quirks, like someone mentioned, roping straight horizontally kind of messed with your momentum, and a couple times I clicked but didn't fire, although I think it was because there was nothing to grapple to.  Maybe showing the rope shooting a short distance and then disappearing might indicate a little better to the player?

Anyhow, those were just small nitpicks, overall really enjoyable and super engaging!  Great job!

Thanks very much!  I hope you enjoyed playing! =D

Whoa, you really did a lot with the visuals here!  I really like the overall atmosphere.  Also, the faux-3D effect is super interesting; with the parallax it really sells the effect of depth!  The dialogue boxes are very clean, I liked the little mouse sprite indicating 'click to continue'. 

I think the game would benefit if the controls were tightened up just a bit -- for instance, you seem to get very far from the camera very quickly, as opposed to what you might expect, where the further from the camera you get, the scaling rate slows down.  Also, an autofire might be nice, although it might make the game a little too easy.

Overall, really solid, I think there is a lot to build on here!  Maybe powerups and a boss fight might complete the package.  Great job!
