Hello!

I received the email yesterday announcing the winners of the Jam. I responded as the email asked, but then realized the email went to a no reply bot from itch! I was wondering if there is a different email we are meant to contact in order to reach out?  Thank you!

For the supporting material, should we be presenting this in a sort of poster or brochure form? Or just send separate screenshots in the zipped folder so they can be displayed in different forms? I suppose I am just asking in what form would work best for showing off our process of making our games?

Thanks for playing! Having a difficulty selection related to the timer is a good idea... I may implement that after the jam regardless of the results for this round!

A cool idea! I loved the story at the beginning, but my voice lines once I got to the facility were glitched and kept cutting themselves off. Overall the gameplay and atmosphere were so cool though! Made me feel like I was in an arcade. 

RATICULOUS!

Welp... Knew this would happen eventually

Wicked twist and fun gameplay! This is a solid game all around

An interesting game for sure! Highlight was blasting stars with my ghost doggo while techno blared in the background!

This was a really nice game! It made me dreadfully sad but the bit at the end when you get to say goodbye was a nice touch. Wonderful work!

Thanks for playing! Dealing with the controls is kind of the vibe I was going for with this one as the main focus. I kind of wanted to get that feeling of controlling a robot that you aren't actually familiar with. Labeling the game as, "puzzle," was the closest thing that I could come up with for it lol.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Now hold on... It doesn't have to be like this!

Thanks for playing! I definitely agree that the levels might have been a bit too tight lol. I definitely wanted a difficult game, but the exact preciseness may have been a little too strong here. I like your idea of the incremental spinning, it would make it easier to both aim and maneuver.

Thanks for playing! I'm sorry the controls were a bit too difficult. The point of the game is to control the drone with controls that are strange and not normal though! Similar to games like, "QWOP," if you are familiar. If the controls were normal it would have defeated the whole purpose of the game lol!

Thank you for playing! I glad you mentioned the skip button for sure, I hadn't realized exactly how hard it was until I was showing some friends and they were surprised by its difficulty. 

Thank you so much for your feedback! I agree with what you are saying, some levels definitely require near perfection. I'll add a skip feature! Thank you for playing!

Cool post! I love a good pie chart

Hey Archonei! Try getting one of the bulls to run into the grass that's near your spawn point... Bulls can break the green blocks and it creates extra items to use!

There actually is music and sound implemented! Perhaps you stumbled across a bug! I'll look into it and see if I can't solve any issues with it for after the jam is over! It's a shame it didn't work for you though, the tutorial is fully narrated!

I appreciate it!

that is VERY strange... I'll look into it lol, sorry about that!

Thanks for playing! So the bull charges through a wall is what you are saying? The bull is meant to charge even if you are off screen (it is the solution to a few different puzzles) but if he has developed the power to phase through walls i need to make some calls...

Literally the perfect game. I don't want to live my life anymore... I just want to incessant hum of the drill to consume me

Cool game! I always love the idea of platforming being something that the player has a lot of control over and with your spear mechanic that is definitely accomplished. I cant wait to see how you develop this further!

This is a sick game and a great idea. I don't know why I've never seen an arena style platforming survival game before but it works so well! I did have some trouble seeing potions like someone already mentioned but other than that the game is sick! 

An idea that may be worth thinking on is giving an incentive for the player to move around the map more. Like maybe a pickup that reduces the timer or something... The potions do a decent job of this but I found that sometimes it was just better to chill in one spot of the arena and focus on dodging things there instead of continuing to move, but moving was the whole fun bit! IDK, just a thought I had. Great work though!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for playing!

Thank you ! I always loved the Stanley Parable! I appreciate your kind words.

Neat little goblin squashing game! I accidentally teleported underground within instants of loading up but luckily Mr. Pebble just seemed happy to be here lol

Thank you! It means a lot!

Yeah, originally I planned to have little name tags once you picked up an item but it was one of those things that didn't quite make it in in time. Thank you for playing!

Cool game! It reminds me of that old mobile game where you squish the bugs as they run across the screen... Throwing the ants was a blast

Fun golf game! I like that my ball falls down to the next level once I get it in the hole. Makes for a good interpretation of the theme of progression!

I'm sure they're fine... You know how those work conversations go. (I forgot to add more lines at the end lol)

There is a tutorial if you have the sound on, but unfortunately I didn't have time to add a screen telling this to players who were already playing without volume :( 

I accept the rock... a fair trade if you ask me

I lost to Ed Scissorarms and he stole my arms... Will expect full reimbursement for damages... (Fun game... the enemies were particularly charming and I had a lot of fun getting destroyed by a deck comprised of only scissors lol. I hope you make it through just to see what else you make.) 

A neat neon platformer! I had a little trouble getting the timing right on some of the jumps (I fear I make a bad coyote) but had a good time with the game overall! I can't wait to see how you develop this further! 

A fun movement game! I could not finish it due to being terrible at it an nearly developing motion sickness halfway through, but it was a lot of fun to play when I got to! i found I didn't need to use the spawnable items much in order to get through the levels, but the spring was useful for when I fell down! Good Game!

I think sabotage is like directly against the rules! Not to mention how just straight up crappy it would be, I won't!
