Alright well, I didn't get top 100. Thats fine! I'm totally not upset about it. (okay I am totally upset) But thats fine. In the end I'd still call this Jam a success. I did get in the top 150 for everything besides audio. Thats really good! I'm still learning gamedev after all. I've only got like 1 and a half ish years of experience. So basically I just want to thank everyone who rated my game (even if it was a bad rating) Honest ratings help me know where to improve as I want to continue this project and make it into something better. If you're reading this, thank you for playing and i'd really appreciate it if you left ANY ideas or feedback on what to add or improve. Thanks in advance. :)

I figured out the cause of the bug! It's not only level 3. Its every single level with a keycard enemy. The game forgets to clean up the keycard they drop because it drops on an OnDestroy() function. Meaning when the scene is left without having killed the keycard enemy it spawns the card and causes an error and in turn crashing the game. Thanks again for the feedback!

haha, my friend who playtested was also confused when they got out of bounds. They were stunned and got quiet trying to process what happened. Thank you for playing my game!

Thanks for the feedback, I am in thinking about continuing  this game so i’ll for sure add a proper introduction type level where the controls are taught.  The level 3 HTML bug you mentioned is strange considering there should not be anything strange with level 3… Thanks again for playing!

The spritework for the main character is quite nice and the climbing felt satisfying with the accompanying sound effect.

I adore the artsyle you've got going on and the gameplay feels very fresh and good to play. One small gripe I have though. The transition between the different waves is a little jarring. The way the camera stops and jitters slightly as the new level loads, the music looping at every wave is a bit off too. Maybe this is just a personal opinion but I think it'd be better if it just looped seamlessly. I think a level transition animation would do wonders. Anyways, great job! this is really good stuff.

I'M IN TEARS!!! MY GAME WAS CALLED GOOD ON STREAM!!!! 

No but like HOW is the art this good for a month long jam. I am bewildered, stunned even. Amazing work from the artist. The writing is fun too. The gameplay wasn't exactly my cup of tea but I can commend a good game when I see one

I really liked the atmosphere you went for, I constantly felt as if something was gonna jump out at me lol.  Good job!

The dash was suprisingly fun to use. This might be Peak.

Gravity switching has always been an awesome mechanic, instantly getting flashbacks to rightside down galaxy from Mario Galaxy. Nice game with a nice gimmick, good job!

The video pitch was awesome and I really enjoyed the animations on the main character. The levels had me really having to stop and think where to use my limited boxes, although sometimes the main character clipped into the floor and got stuck, sometimes they wallslid on air too. But disregarding the bugs it was really fun!

I liked the comedy, almost all of the jokes I found funny. I also really liked the gameplay of playing through the same level twice but with a different solution to it each time. Good job!

The movement felt a bit strange sometimes but I really liked the visual effect when the player dies so I was okay with dying a bunch

Honestly i'm just sad it was so short :( I felt like this game had a bunch of potential to add more gameplay elements. (I'm not sure if there are multiple hallucinations since I only ever encountered one. The one that appears at the top of the screen in your briefcase) but having more of them would be awesome. Overall just a good game. nice art and amazing sound design!

The game is seriously beautiful, the art is fantastic and the music is fits the vibe so well! Sadly I suffer from a skill issue apparently. I'm unable to clear the first group of enemies that appear in the tutorial :(

Very fun concept, I really like the visuals and the funny sound effects when starting and clearing a level (the whooshing noises) Also: AHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHH - Me moments before falling into the fog

I like how the game slowly introduced new obstacles and how it makes you figure out what they do on your own. The art is really nice too!

Man this game hurts my brain... It's really good though, I had a lot of fun. The video pitch was great too!

I really enjoyed the little guys you can collect (although I don't know if they do anything) The art and sounds are very good too, the whole looping scene when you reach max boxes is really cool and suprised me the first time. (The joke with the lives counter was also very funny)

Really good game, I enjoyed basically everything about it except the camera controls. The camera just sometimes didn't register my input at all, and even when it did the camera was very stuttery, so the camera could use some improvement but besides that, great work!

I liked the character design and the screen crack effect you get when you take damage. I felt like the music didn't completely fit but it was not bad music. The music was good but the vibe of the music wasn't shared with the vibe of the visuals. Otherwise I enjoyed it, although it was a bit short.

Not a problem at all! the more the merrier, it gives me something to do

Yes I agree that the rating system is really bad...  I should probably have used a clearer visual such as letters From S to D or something instead of the smileys. I wanted to have a similar system to neon white with its medal system where the score is based on time only, I should probably have the required times listed next to the medals or something. Thank you for playing and for the feedback!

The art and characters were really charming and I can tell a lot of love was put into this game. Great job!

It was fun, I really wish there was a way to move/edit your ship parts. I think it would add a lot of fun if you were able to rearrange the starting ship at least. I find the default one a bit clunky. Nice art and music too!

This is very relaxing honestly. Or at least until I put it on the harder difficulty. My brain is too small to understand that mode. The middle mode is really nice and and tranquil, especially with the music in the background.

Aaaa There's so many comments I don't know how to respond to all of them!!!  (•᷄ᴗ•᷅ )

I managed to get 2/3 correct on the first letter puzzle but now i'm stuck sadly.  This game is really awesome though, i've been going at it for an hour or so. It makes me feel really smart whenever I think **Outside the box** to get the solutions. (I even went as far as to dig through the github repo lol...) I don't think there is anything there though.

I really enjoyed it but I I got stuck because I accidentally dropped a box below a platform. I realized that when you respawn with *R* the level itself doesn't reset, you just get teleported to the checkpoint. Meaning that the box was lost forever and I had to restart from the start :(  I can imagine this would be a lot of fun if I had someone to play it with, but i'm glad there is an option for single player at least.

Thank you to everyone who's posted here so far, I'll get to rating your games as soon as I wake up tomorrow!

I've seen a bunch of these rate4rate posts flying about so I figured i'd make my own, I'm struggling to decide which games to rate when I scroll through the submissions page. There are way too many options for me to pick from. So getting a nice little list in the form of this thread would be really nice :D

Here is my game: https://itch.io/jam/bad-ideas-game-jam-2026/rate/4422874
Feel free to rate it and leave a reply on this post and I will play and rate your game too :)

Truly philosophical.

I like the premise and the (for the lack of a better term) non euclidian aspects when you get teleported without knowing it and such.

I sold like 20 pens in a single box and got rich. I then proceded to buy over 100 boxes of items which then caused the room to flood with them and made me lose. 10/10

Thank you so much for playing, i'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll check out your game right this instant

Ohh That makes a lot more sense, for some reason I assumed when I had more than one jump I would be able to double jump or something. I never noticed the jump counter on the earlier levels. Thank you for explaining

I haven't finished it yet (I think i'm about halfway??) But from what i've seen it's really awesome and you should be proud of it! The game totally nails the vibe its going for

Very nice concept, gives me major fractal block world vibes for whatever reason. Although I couldn't figure out how the extra jumps work. Like i'd press jump in the air and it would make the sound but it didn't jump (Maybe i'm just missing something idk?)

Here's mine https://itch.io/jam/bad-ideas-game-jam-2026/rate/4422874
I'll check out yours now
