I'll have to check this one out later when I get home from work but I won't forget you. Based on the comments and screenshots though, it looks really fun. 

This was fun! It could use some kind of filler mechanic while waiting for the next key combo. Maybe you need to collect dark energy to power your next spell or maybe some kind of ritual speed multiplier. This would give the player a reason to risk exploring rather than just confine themself to a small area and dodging. 

I'm also an oldschool DDR player so I enjoyed the arrow key mechanic.

I tried commenting on the game/voting pages directly but every time I would submit the page would just refresh and my comments weren't there. 

I was able to rate it though. Great work!

I really liked your art style. This was a lot of fun.  Also, I love the bomb store is litterally called the "Bomb Store". Great work!

I'll have to check this one out when I get home from work later today. i won't forget you!

Great concept. I'm a huge fan of management and tycoon games. Would love to see what you could do given more time. Great work!

***Edit: due to a family emergency, I will not be able to rate/review any more games for this jam as of 4:30 PM PST 1/7/26. Any posts that were here before that time have been rated. Good luck to you all and please make sure to rate and review eachothers games as well.***

With over 100 entries so far, there is NO WAY i can rate them all. Respond here with why I should play and rate yours and I'll give it a try and I'll be as honest (and constructive) as possible.

I could not get it to load for the life of me across 3 different computers. I finally got it to run on a remote machine but I couldn't control due to the mouse trnaslation. With that being said, I gave you a rating based on the comments below and my personal opinion of your use of the theme, and the screenshots. None of this was your fault, my browsers were beign stupid. (Don't worry, it's a good rating!)

Yours is so much fun. I liked getting distracted by the window and TV. Great execution!

This was suer fun! I felt exactly like I think my cat does when I leave home for the dayTons of fun!

This was a lot of fun. I played all the way through a few times. It actually gets decently challenging at the end. Really enjoyed it!

This was a lot more fun than I was first expecting. I explected to play through it once but...well, I'm on my 4th play, trying to get every firework. Great game!

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making it. I had fun with yours too. I rated yours too. Great job for your first jam.

Great addition giving the player the choice to be good or evil. Not like there really was a choice though. Mwahahaha!

A LOT of fun. I don't know why but I ended up trying to speed run each level. Took some time but i got it. Great work!

Hey thanks! 

I'm considering continuing this for the Jan 9th jam so maybe I'll add a "zen" mode but there probably won't be anythin "zen" about it =P

Would love to hear your input. This is my second ever "completed" project. All assets created by me.

Honestly I had a lot of fun. The animations are pretty good for basic stick figures. 2 suggestions: 1) Move the attack button somewhere other than the mouse click. At least for me, using mouse for attack when everything else is controlled by keyboard feels a little clunky. 2) Your power up screen (unlocking the dash) is cleared by clicking anywhere, regardless of where the mouse cursor is at the time of the click. I accidentally clicked away this screen so I didn't know about the dash until I restarted the game. 

Over all, considering the time crunch, I'd give it a 7.5/10. Good job!

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to make!

Thanks for the feedback! 

I enjoyed this once I understood it. The thing that threw me off the most was that I didn't realize I had to wait 30 seconds before the first anomaly. I kept clicking things and kept resetting the timer because of my lost lives. One recommendation as a player: Reduce the initial surveying phase to maybe 10 seconds, disable clicking during the initial surveying phase, and maybe add some kind of on screen notification. Something like: "Study your surroundings. Round 1 begins in 10...9...8.."

Great concept and good art.
8/10

This was pretty cool actually. Not sure what the random red and green dots were but I hit them! The multi-ball thing was kinda cool too. Good job!

I like it. I played more times than I expected to so you've got your hook. If I may suggest, people (myself included) don't like to read instructions. If you were to put a tiny bullseye or crosshair on each square it will help the player jump right in. 8/10, still playing again

Looks good. You should keep it up. The one thing I have to say is make sure you test your games like you don't know what you are doing. It's easy to win when you know what you're doing. When you lose, the replay button takes you to the home screen but starting the game again instantly takes you back to the you lose screen. This is easy to miss (I almost did the same with mine).

Overall, it's a solid quick game. My only other critique is it would be nice to have a gameplay timer. It turns the "What am I doing?" to "What am I doing?" but with anxiety, which is always fun.

7/10 Keep it up!

Hello, I wrote a comment here the other day because I accidentally paid $0.01 less than the minimum required for the full pack.

I'm posting here again since I don't see my previous comment here. I apologize if this is a double post. I'm not trying to be impatient, I just want to make sure that you see my comment.

I'm working with what is in the free pack for now but would love to get the rest. I'm happy to pay another $1 if need.

I also emailed you a couple days ago.

Thank you =)
