But where IS the monster

It looks and feels nice, but the actual gameplay was a bit flat. I enjoyed the green palette and cover art though 

I don't understand this game. There is no way to flee, either the void gets you or doesn't. So basically, I just run around, collect something and turn around until I die. That's not very fun :(

Ohh I like this a lot. It's very intuitive and I enjoyed the cat animations

Good catch! Thank you!

Oh yeah I get it - jams will be jams :D

It's very short, but creative :)

It's very polished and the visuals are nice. The theme is disturbing but fitting :D after playing a few rounds it got repetetive though

Very fun and unique!

Oh yeah, I was refering to this:

This was certainly strange. But oddly entertaining.

There is no ending right? For me it stopped after I won. It's a unique rhythm game because you see the letters ahead, which was interesting. You can see that you put in a lot of effort for the background drawings, but the music wasn't my cup of tea.

Excactly. Make the gnome say "That wasn't a swap, but a swipe. I swap is done by ..." or something like that

The atmosphere is well-done but it was hard to understand what I had to do at first. For a jam, I think a "HOW TO PLAY" section is pretty important, which is something I failed to make clear for my game too :/

So first off all, this is very well done and polished. I enjoy the animations and the way you put the mechanics together. I think it combines Intralism with Osu, but those aren't my cup of tea, so I'm not going to judge that. So here is some more general feedback that is still useful, I hope:

1. When you teach me how to use the swap, there is a visual bug where when you fail to press the input in time, there is another "miss" impact, but at the target. It's a small visual thing, but it was large enough to be noticed.

2. More importantly:  when you teach me how to use the swap, there is NO feedback when you fail to use the second input properly. It is obvious for you, but it took me a while to figure out how to use it because I did it incorrectly, but still got a "Perfect!" every time.

3. I personally would have liked to use cursor in the main menu.

What I liked even though I don't like the music genre:

1. the delay calibration: that is very impressive and I imagine important for games like these. The fact you managed to put it into the jam is outstanding. A functional settings menu is very nice in the first place. 

2. web serialization: very cool that my score is being saved. 

3. how the menu reacts to the menu being played. I assume the icon changes its BPM? That's cool!

Yeah that was planned, that's why the final stage looks different :D

If you're curious about the boss I'd planned, it was this:

Dryad Queen.

Innate: Poison heals Dryad Queen instead.

>19: Drain the opponent by the amount of poison on self.
>15: Double own poison.
>10: Poison self by the counter value.
>2: Poison self and increase the counter.

I got pretty far now!

This game is really impressive, let alone for your age! You're 14, right? We got a future game developer in the making for sure :D

Very ambitious  :D the vehicle controller is a little janky, but for a jam it's impressive. The voicelines are also my favourite feature.

I don't know what I need to do :(

I can't move through any door, and there aren't any enemies spawning either

It's very hard to make a puzzle game that hasn't been done before. Congrats on that! It's unique and well-presented.

Nice concept! I think you can expand this protype into a fledged out game :D

Disturbing, funny and smooth. It's pretty entertaining to play :D

It would be a nice minigame. I agree that it does get repetitive fast, but it's polished and looks unique

It's very well done! At first, I thought you HAD to use the left mouse button to use the player controller, but fortunately you can use the arrow keys. Maybe you could show some label? 

Very lovely pixel-art. One criticism though: isn't the parallax order reversed? Shouldn't the background objects move slowly and the front ones quickly? I found it a little nauseating for some reason.

First: the art is amazing. The little parallax-like effects, such as the whale at the beginning are a nice touch. I feel like the difficulty spike is a little too steep. The cave scene looks amazing!

Wow! This is one of the most impressive games I've seen yet :D First off, the art is amazing. The kind of illustration reminds me of Cuphead and I love it. One criticism is that when you have to help the character, you can push its physical object away, which frustrating and happened very frequently.

A game with lovely colours that made me think "WTF". It has no right being this satisfying though

The colours are very well chosen! The audio is a bit odd at times, though

Very cool! I like the art a lot :D

The art is very cool! At first, I struggled with trying to figure out what I had to do, though, so maybe you could make that a little more clear? Other than that I liked it :)

Fun little puzzle! One thing you can improve is to make clear what obstacles kill you and what don't. I thought the bananna peel would, for instance.

It's the potion you see in your stats

The art is really good! Overall, this is very impressive for the time period

Thank you!

I like the colourful flat palette! A strange place indeed :D

Wow. The art is spectacular! Great job with the UI work as well. This genre is not really my cup of tea and even I loved it haha :) Great job

The art looks very lovely and professional. The concept itself isn't super original, but for a jam entry this is polished and well done!

One from Unity and one from Itch I think
