A good all round game. Graphics look great, sound is good, and there is a decent variety of enemies. Great job. Well done.

It's simple, but everything works fine. The little rocket has an oddly nice style to it. Good effort.

Really good game. The graphic style looks great, and the sound effects fit well. Collecting the parts made it more interesting by adding a bit more variety to the gameplay. The controls are responsive enough, although it can be difficult to move then shoot efficiently. Great work. Well done.

A nice tribute to a loved pet and friend. I hope working on this has helped you in the grieving process. The various text formats and animations were a nice touch.

I really enjoyed this. The graphics are nice (I like the little jet stream behind the ship). The controls and movement feel really good. Great work. Well done.

A fun little game. The sound and visuals fit together really well. Great job.

A cool little game. The controls work well and the graphics are really nice. Maybe add something to make it more challenging. Overall, good job.

A nice and simple game, which I think is a good thing (I think sometimes it's easy to fall into the trap of making things too complicated). While the graphics are fairly basic, everything was clearly marked, so it was easy to understand what was going on. Most importantly, everything you have put into the game appears to be working correctly. Great job, well done.

It was a nice short story. I liked the retro look of the graphics, objectives were clearly marked out, and the key prompts were subtle. Great job.

Interesting concept with some nice ideas. The retro art style is cool. I think it would benefit from a little more guidance, and when picking items up with the mouse they get dropped constantly. Good job overall.

Fantastic game. Level design is especially great, and the art is really nice. The controls are very responsive (although personally I would prefer Spacebar for jump, because my brain just doesn't like Up as jump apparently, lol). You've done an amazing job. Well done.

 Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. The music and sound effects are from a bought asset pack, but I think they fit the game pretty well.

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Really great fun. The difficulty is a tad harsh in places, but causing a little frustration is obviously intentional to fit with the story. The mechanic is cool, the art is nice, and the dialogue is inspiring. Top stuff, well done.

Thank you. The switch mechanic was a pain and took up too much time, so unfortunately there is admittedly a lack of content. Glad you liked what was there though. I'll have a look at your game now. I always try to play every game from anyone who comments on mine.

Absolutely brilliant. From the art, sound and music, to the puzzles and dialogue, all amazing. Has to be a strong contender for winning this jam in my opinion. Fantastic work, well done.

I really like the theme, the motivational messages are great. The graphics are nice and suit the tone of the game really well, and there are a good variety of mini games. Well done.

I'm glad you liked it. To be honest, I just threw the last level together just to try and make the game slightly longer, just because I ran out of time. I also had sooo many problems with the switch mechanic that I'm just glad I got it working well enough to have a playable game. Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it 🙂

Nice and simple idea made into a solid, enjoyable game. Great work.

Nice concept, and it looks like it took a decent amount of effort to put it all together. I had the same issue of not understanding the mirrors section. Great job though. Well done.

Pretty solid all round. A nice amount of power ups and enemy variations. The only thing I would recommend changing is that the homing bullets don't change course so quickly, they are the only thing that seems unfair. Great job overall, well done.

Yeah, the concept was definitely better than the execution. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice idea. Timing the jumps was challenging (and a little stressful, lol). Well done.

Very nice, unique concept. The pixel art is really good. The platforming is very clever, but extremely difficult to control. Great job.

The mad puzzles at the start were great, and the platformer part of it was pretty solid. Great job.

This was really good fun. I enjoyed the little tasks and the dialogue. The pixel art is great, and the blackout was a nice touch. Great work.

I like the idea, but found it confusing throughout. After watching the video I see what you were going for. Good effort.

Nice idea. I enjoyed it, but no matter what I did I couldn't go to lunch. Overall, good job.

Good fun. Nice concept. The collection of mini games is great. Great job.

Really great, chill game. Puzzles were nicely put together, and the mini narrative is a nice touch. Well done.

Thanks. I wanted it to be precise on purpose to make it more challenging, but I get where you're coming from. Appreciate the feedback

Thank you. Glad you liked the concept

Are we allowed to fix bugs and reupload the game for the jam?

Thanks. Now you've mentioned the infinite jump, I know exactly what's causing that. I changed something to fix a different bug, which did not get fixed, so now I've ended up with an extra bug that I caused myself 🤣

Just started this and it seems fun and well put together. Haven't had chance to play it properly though yet as I wanted to make sure I rated it before the deadline.

A nice little game with decent level design. Music and sound effects are a good fit. It seems that you can't open the chests though (unless I'm missing something). Good effort.

Nicely made stealth mechanics. Really enjoyed this. Great stuff.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
