Thank you! getting to draw a cute fox girl for a game was a big reason I wanted to do this jam, glad I was able to deliver on the game-play front as well! Def feel you on the animations and sounds, something to add if I go back to this one. Thank you for playing!

ahhhh see my strategy is usually to give the coins an even split of points so I can adapt what chain i'm making on the fly, MIFFED I couldn't add some items that give benefit to flipping tails that would have supported your strategy. Hard agree on the music and SFX, I lost a decent chunk of time getting the scoring algorithm functioning and didn't quite have time to add it. I'm glad you enjoyed the art, thank you for giving it a go!!

Thank you!! I'm really happy with the balance of purchasable items, all of them feel necessary/desirable to some extent. Making the dealer cute was also a big priority for this game due to the theme so i'm glad you enjoyed the art! I'd love to make a fleshed out version, killing me I couldn't add unique items in time.. Definitely one to go back to when i've got the chance. Thanks for checking it out ^^

Does what it says on the tin! Functional and cute coin flipper, nice work.

SUPER cute, love the visual style you've implemented here! I unfortunately struggled a bit to sell the loot to the foxes in the wells, couldn't seem to get the key press to work, tried on keyboard and controller. It's a really nicely designed map but I wasn't quite sure how to progress.

This was really neat!! The slowdown and aiming line on the coin made it really usable, I usually struggle a bit with 2D platformers that require mouse input. Nice use of the theme with the swapping blocks too, great work!

gorgeous look and feel! I also really liked the coin flip mechanic, adds a bit of depth and works great with the limitation. Lovely entry!

Oh hey same name!
You used the theme and limitation really well here, I liked how quickly the scaling of coins ramps up once you've got a few upgrades. Fun concept and executed well!

This was really cute! fascinating little world and a very sweet story. I hadn't played a ZZT game before this and the right UI bar really had me wondering how worms were going to shoot bows and arrows.

Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the clock reading quirk. And thanks for linking the time-code, our team was chuffed to see a streamer play our silly little entry!

Really neat lil entry!! Quite liked the premise and I like how the helium tanks and birds both draw you in different directions, I did manage to find a (possibly) unintentional exploit where mashing the dash button into a wall clips the balloon through it, I weirdly found it quite balanced since it seemed to use a lot of fuel. Had a fun time gettin that brain freeze!

I risked it and got the treasure without even NEEDING the golden skull, though I do think it's inclusion is hilarious. I really enjoyed the fakeout with the alien monster door that appears when you have *most* of the fuel cans too. I enjoyed playing it, and I'm wishing you the best of luck with your foray back into programming! 

Really neat idea! Collected all 10 hearts. Ive never seen minesweeper crossed with a platformer before, and the speed-running nature of the timer really changes up how I conventionally approach minesweeper. I did think the controls were a tad slippery but otherwise it's a good execution of the concept!

Neat entry! got 84 when I cleared it. My feedback would be I'm not a huge fan of spamming the fire button as fast as possible, being able to hold it down would be massively appreciated. The backing soundtrack was sick and I liked how the amount of available space you have to work with shrinks as the game progresses, great work!

INCREDIBLY sick entry, loved the movement and hectic scramble to nail as many targets as possible while wall skating around. managed to get 7,628,460 score, amazing job to the whole team!

Thank YOU for playing it! glad you enjoyed it ^^

I'm glad you enjoyed it! i'm quite fond of time reading puzzles, would have loved to get a sundial in there as well. Thanks for playing ^^

Oh cheers! was really surprised how much the music impacted the feel of the game since it was a very late addition, I'm glad it's a bit difficult to find the gnome! was worried it'd be dead easy aha. Thank you for playing!

I SAW YOUR ENTRY and messaged the team immediately like oh my god the gnomes are spreading. Thank you for playing!! we're always glad to showcase incredibly lethal curios<3

Nice work! sometimes the clocks can be turned around instead of showing the wrong time or winding backwards, think that's what you've encountered?

Nice!! Thanks for playing ^^

Oh thank you! I'm really happy with how this one came together, was real interesting researching some of the more traditional sokoban puzzle hooks and shapes and adapting them to this ruleset.

Thank you!! was def inspired by bitsy games, just in a bit of a higher resolution (the whole games resolution ended up being centered around 32x32 specifically because of the llama sprite aha). Really glad you enjoyed the stretching boxes mechanic! 

Thank you! definitely agree with you with the undo button, was something I really wanted to add but wasn't able to with how the game was built/time-frame. Glad you enjoyed it regardless ^^

Interesting entry! I like the character design and the actions of shooting and placing blocks are cool, I did have some slowdown and I think enemies just stopped spawning in after a certain point; became a very contemplative experience. Miffed I didn't manage to find the death block!

I really liked the central mechanic! having to juggle your movement and what selected ability is great, my only issue was I found it near impossible to be able to jump as soon as a block was destroyed, just a smidge of coyote time would've helped a ton. Great visuals and atmosphere too, really enjoyed this entry.

Neat entry! 131 was my score, I wasn't quite sure why you'd ever want to scale down since being big has so many benefits, but I did like that the game was readable even at the smallest size. Think there's something a little strange with the inputs since you can get stuck walking in one direction occasionally. Impressed with the engine choice!

SICK entry, it's awesome stylistically and a really fun twist on the kind of stack-merge physics game. One thought I had was it could be fun to make the weapons have different float patterns to differentiate them a bit more, but thats some real armchair posting. Great job all around!

Interesting submission! I liked how all of the runes scaled size in a different way, and were often used concurrently to solve puzzles. Only real complaint is I feel like the "shrink self" rune should be an arrow facing down instead of up, Semiotically it makes more sense. Take me to the wizards that created rune magic if you need to i'll die on this hill. Nice work getting this over the line in time!

AWESOME concept, and there's a ton of charm to the setting and characters. I really struggled to keep the balance past the 4th wave or so, kept losing towers to falling off the edge, and just couldn't figure out how to plan for/counter the 3 or so cyclops wave. Might just need some adjustment of weight values, but it's overall a super creative entry and a great interpretation of the theme!

Made it to round 3! Very cool boss to fight, the controls just felt a bit too fast for me to consistently dodge things.

I was SO happy to finally see that win screen. The mechanic is incredible and really made me think in a completely different way than usual with sokoban, love the minimalist visuals and soundtrack as well. Easily one of my favorites this jam!!

AWESOME entry, I thought at first it was just far too hard for me, pressing either mouse button concurrently just felt too strange, BUT I got the hang of it and made it to the summit! The menu and upgrade stuff is a level of polish I wasn't expecting and the game looks and sounds great, fantastic job overall.

Cute entry! Good choice for setting, and the animation right at the end was a good bit.

This was an interesting one! I liked how you gradually scaled up, it's pretty satisfying to chomp down on fish that you've died to earlier. Didn't get much use out of the dash unfortunately, the attack was helpful for the boss though. I did have some performance issues, didn't impact the game-play too much but it was noticeable. VERY spooky vibe, loved the music change when you go down into the cavern and it's pitch black nothingness.

Got to the point where no fish could kill me, used the mines to end the run and get my score. The DNA collected number ticking up took like, 6+ minutes lmao

Pretty cool entry overall! nice work

Really quality entry! Especially liked how your current size impacted your relationship with each obstacle, stuff like water being both useful and a hazard depending on context. Only crit would be the movement feels *slightly* too sensitive at times, the one level with the spikes triggering in order was really the only place it was an issue though. lovely spritework and soundtrack as well, great job to the whole team!

Thank you!! Really glad you enjoyed it ^^

Thank you!! One thing I really liked about the jam this year was the longer time-frame, really gave me time to polish up the visual style and have breathing room for level design without feeling stressed. 

Ahhhh yeah that makes sense, apologies! Should've shown off the squishing of boxes in the thumbnail gif as well, I'll alter the description to include that; since obfuscating that ability isn't meant to be the challenge. Thank you for the feedback, I'm really glad you enjoyed playing!

Really cute entry!! A lot of the levels had that great "oh it's simple" ... "ah" realization which is great for a puzzle game. Quite liked that the potions had the double use of altering size AND taking a turn so you can swap what tiles you'll hit for skeletons, good design. Congrats to the whole team ^^

Platforming feels great, and the level design makes really good use of the scaling mechanic! I quite liked how you used lighting and shadow to quickly denote the indented path and pitfalls, very solid entry.
