Of course! Once the jam is over you’re encouraged to keep working on the game and improve upon it.  Come over to the discord and request feedback when you do.

Great job not giving up. Sorry your friend bailed on you. 

Fun little game with super simple graphics but a nice music loop and solid sound effects. The tight precision jumps can be annoying, but that’s also the whole challenge and it works for what the game is doing. I liked the instant respawn a lot. I played a few levels and stopped at the flappy bird section. It would be cool to see stats like number of jumps or fails. Overall, a cool and clean entry.

It took me a minute to understand the flow, but once it clicked the idea was fun. The pace ramps up way too fast though. Starting with one clear problem to fix would help the player feel accomplished before the chaos begins. Then you can slowly layer in more tasks. The drawers also feel crowded. Grabbing one tool often meant picking up and dropping a few others by accident. The music was a nice touch and did a good job raising the tension. Thanks for submitting your game to the jam.

Very simple setup. You pick a square and watch them bounce until one survives. I couldn’t tell what made them hit or lose, so it felt more like watching a simulation than playing a game. There’s no real player agency after the first click. The sound effects are there but there’s no music and the slice ends fast. Interesting idea to start from, but it needs more interaction for the player to stay engaged.

Interesting start, and the 3D shapes gave it a unique look, but it felt incomplete. I wasn’t always sure what I was supposed to do, and didn’t get very far. The flashing lights washed over the whole scene, which made it even harder to understand what was happening. No audio or music also made it tough to stay engaged. It feels like an ambitious idea that just needed more time to land.

Clear idea and easy to understand right away. Jumping between rotating obstacles can be fun, but the jump feels a bit off, so timing never feels fully satisfying. The rotation also made me a little dizzy after a bit. Audio is minimal, and there’s no music to help anchor the slice. With tighter jump control and a little polish on sound, this could feel a lot stronger.

Fun take on the packing mechanic, and the Christmas theme fits it really well. The art, music, and audio all help the slice feel complete. The core loop is straightforward, satisfying, and easy to read. This feels like a solid, well-rounded entry.

Throwing in Silksong amongst the presents scored you extra points :)

Cool idea and the vent setting has a nice mood with the ambient sounds and growls. The main struggle for me was movement. Having to press forward for every tiny step made traversal tiring and it was easy to get lost in the maze. I ended up giving up before reaching the end because moving around felt more work than tension. A smoother forward motion or stronger landmarks would make the slice much easier to play through.

Fun idea and the art gives it a lot of personality. I enjoyed juggling the systems while the timer counted down. The two things that felt off were the food boxes and the black hole event. The boxes sometimes spun or wedged against the walls which made them hard to move. The black hole mash section was doable on the first try but it felt a bit too tight on time. A little extra buffer there would keep the tension without risking frustration. Overall though, solid work for a first jam and cool to see how much you managed to build.

Fun quick loop. Dodging shots while the border closes in feels tense and readable. The visuals are clean and the idea is clear right away. The slice would land even better with simple sound cues for hits and movement since there’s no audio at the moment.

Nice job getting a full little world in place. The art and mood fit the story and you can see the effort from the team. I had trouble understanding what I could interact with and what the next step was, so I mostly walked around reading text. The battery was the only thing I figured out how to pick up. A bit more clarity on controls and one clear early objective would help.

The core idea is clear and the defend-the-temple loop works, but the game needs basic feedback to feel alive. Jumping on the up key feels odd and the controls would land better with a more standard layout. Adding simple hit effects or sounds would help the game come to life.  Music would also do wonders for the feel of the game.

Thanks for submitting.

The idea was good, but the controls made the game hard to enjoy. Unless you're going for a rage-bait game, you want to give players a warning before bad things happen so they can react.

Thanks for submitting!

I liked the idea behind this game, and it was executed almost flawlessly. My only issue was that the vignette was pretty intense, which was annoying because the last heart was hard to see, especially if I couldn't take my eye off the screen. Other than that, it was great! Good job!

The game and theme interpretation are fun. I loved how simple geometry can come alive. You did great here.

I struggled a bit with the controls, where the character/ship/cube? Moved further than I intended to, but my son had no issues.

Thanks for submitting and participating in the Discord.

Music and art are nice. 

I feel like this could be a great game that evolves into a "collect all" mechanic, or into a bartering system where you go in looking for a particular "something" and you have to find the way to trade up to it, like the dude that traded the red paper clip all the way up to a house. 

It was creepy in a good way. 
Turned off the lights and let "Eddie" chase my son around. :)

Fun entry, thanks for sharing.

I liked how you interpreted the theme, but it was a bullet knightmare, indeed.

Having a "shield" power-up could be cool here. It took us a while to get past wave 1; the difficulty ramp needs work.

Fun game, I loved how you introduced the mechanics slowly. There was zero confusion.   Great job! Lots of ways you could ramp up difficulty down the road if you decide to expand on this project.

This was fun!

The concept of not being able to turn around because of the gun makes it THAT much more fun and challenging. 

This was a SOLID entry.  Great job!

Loved the music and the graphics.  We couldn't really do anything with the arms other than pick up and move stuff around. 

Our pipe clipped out of the playing field and out of reach.

At one point, my son and I were controlling one arm each, and we thought that could be a fun coop mechanic.

This game had potential. The greedy goblin idea is fun, and having him chased by something adds excitement. I was hoping the items in the bag would clear on their own so I could keep running and collecting, but either I missed something or the game ends after just a handful of items.

Thanks for sharing your game with us.

The art was cool, and the last scene with the alien dude was fun to watch.  We unfortunately got a crash when the alien came on screen.

This game would greatly benefit from a tutorial because we were guessing on the first few turns.

Thanks for submitting to our jam.

It was really fun, and timing the lava levels was rewarding. We thought we found a glitch, but it was a trick! (we won't spill the beans.) We really loved how you both incorporated the "limited space" theme into your game. Very creative!

Congratulations.

The theme for the Tiny Game Jam is: Limited Space.

Your whole game has to fit inside a tiny box. Tiny room. Tiny screen. Tiny reach. Restrictions spark ideas, and those are not limited. Let this one push you to make something clever and focused.

Start sketching a slice you can ship fast.

Tiny Game Jam kicks off in 3 hours.

If you are planning to join, this is the perfect time to warm up your tiny ideas and lock in your scope. We are aiming for one small, fun game you can actually finish this weekend.

We already have over 60 people registered for the jam. If you want more competition or just want to help us grow this event, please share the jam link with other devs. It helps more than you think.

Who is in?

Thanks for trying our game.  The space bar lowers the "chain" to retrieve treasure, so you have to raise it back up to be able to move.  We'll work on the UI to make that way more obvious.  If you get the orange markers right on the cross hairs, you should pull out treasure.  

Thanks for playing our "game".  Right now there's not a way to upgrade the ship, though we did plan on having that as an option.  The treasures are found by following the radar and putting the (very small) orange dots in the crosshairs and then lowering and raising the chain with the space bar.  We'll resume work on this game soon to hopefully make it more entertaining.

Thanks for playing and reviewing the game.  We'll keep working on it to see where it goes.

Thanks for playing the game and for your feedback.  We ran out of time so were not able to implement the UI as we hoped.  Totally agree with the need for a visual indicator.  The camera also needs work.  The level design was straight from the Unity Asset store, so not much for me to say about it.  I was working with my 10 year-old son and he found that asset so we went with it.

Cool entry, looks like we both went for something very similar.  I liked the different models but at first the game felt a bit slow so I found myself using SHIFT the whole time.  I loved the music choices, specially once I upgraded to the battleship.  I didn't like the fact that the competing ships always knew where the next sunken ship would be, so I felt at a disadvantage.  I ended up following the other ships a lot.  Well done!

Very cool visuals! I loved the run style of the 'character', you managed to give personality to a rectangle.  Cool entry.
