I didn't realize it was for a contest, in that case totally understand. I've done game jams, but none that were as short as a week. I like, there's plenty of potential, but deadlines do get in the way of completion.

Cool graphics, but a lot of empty space. I nearly quit the first time because I went into 5 buildings of nothing.
You either need to increase the fire rate or not let the enemies sit at the elevators and molest you the second you reach the floor. I had 4 virus basically block me in before I could even move, and one bugged out. Bullets just kept going through it and it wouldn't die, so I died instead. That was after I did the red key building.
Pretty good, I saved the farm. Once I noticed I had infinite bullets, I just went crazy. The last group of rabbits never even made it over the fence! A mouse sensitivity adjustment might be nice. I would've liked to have seen some kind of visual effect of the bullets on target. Also needs to go back to a menu or something when it ends rather than just leave me stuck in fullscreen with the only way out is to refresh the page. But overall it ran smooth and bug free in chrome.

Is the mouse movement slowed down any? I kept thinking I had a hair my mouse's laser or something, it just didn't feel 100%. I think I scored 80, not sure. After it ends, the text all overlaps and you can't read it. But you definitely have some collision issues once the drop speed accelerates, passing right through the barriers. Look into "swept" collision. In your case, a simple line-line intersection test would do the trick.
marble madness! I think the controls need a lot of adjustment. I beat the first 2 levels, but only after dying about 100 times. It's extremely difficult to control the ball, to the point it almost felt like they were backwards. I could press left from the start and still fall off the right side of the map.
Fun little game. Would be nice if I knew how many levels there were or if it showed your current time. It's a hard little game given the limited visibility range. Since enemies move, I feel like you should be able to see them at a greater distance. I found myself running into enemies even when rapidly cycling through colors because the enemy wasn't visible until it was right in my face.
I'm guessing this fits the contrast and protect it themes. Though as someone who didn't play with virtual pets, there's no clear instruction what to do. And given the nature of the graphics style, I wasn't quite sure what some things were. I won the slider game about 30 times and only made 2 gold, never got any from the mirror game. Don't know if there was another method to earn gold but ultimately died because i couldn't afford anything.
I completed the demo (you cut me off at the aliens!) Excellent game so far. I really dig the animations, a lot more detailed than I would've expected. I spent 5min just jumping in water to stare at it lol.
I discovered I could use a controller for the little dino, is there no way to control the main character with it? Cause I really wanna use my controller to play this.
I like the cyberpunk style of the game but there's a few issues, mainly with the double jump not working consistently. 99% of my deaths were directly attributed to the jump not working. Most of the time, I don't know where the next platform will be until AFTER I've jumped. Lastly, can you move the close button for the score table so it's not overlapping the fullscreen button?
I find the game extremely confusing. First time, it said test #97 failed as soon as it started. It did that again while I was on the menu. Nothing indicates how much "money" you have to know if you can buy another train or car. I have no idea why the car shows an increasing number of passengers in the menu. Once I finally got through a map (unable to reach anything on top of buildings) the second level I had no where to put passengers, the doors never open when i pick them up. Also, confused why the train stops or gets stunned whenever it hits those yellow pillar things. I also found the train to be a bit too close to the left edge of the screen, making it difficult to toss obstacles as my mouse was constantly going outside the canvas and thus releasing the mouse button wouldn't drop the object.
Game has potential but there are way too many unclear things going on.
I liked it, but I'm not really getting the "ruin" feeling. It's a different but good approach to a memorization puzzle game. My tips for improvement would be to use another font for the text or enlarge it without the black background so it fits the overall style better. I'm not familiar with monkeyX so I don't know how their text system works.
I only figured out how to exit the chests by reading other comments first.
And from the sound of it I don't think English is your first language so I didn't hold that against you, but if you'd like to polish your game further after the game jam I'd recommend having an english-speaking native help reword the text. But it wasn't so confusing as to hurt the ability to complete the game, I did all 3 levels.
Appreciate the feedback. I did have plans for additional blocks of differing colors, each with a unique property. For instance, pink blocks would have to be hit twice from two different directions. Green blocks could only be hit from specific directions. I didn't have time to implement them and level design would've take a lot more thought. I plan to continue after the jam.
(btw, I deleted your duplicate post)
