Thanks for coming by and leaving a nice comment! Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that the camera movement was dizzying, we will try to improve on either the speed or in general giving control for the camera. 🙈

Hey! This was my first game jam, and also the first time making a game (if we don't count the tiny assignments at the university :D). I've really enjoyed it, everyone was super nice in their ratings! Also I'm not really a big gamer in general, used to play only a few specific games, so seeing everyone's ideas was super exciting and found quite a few games that had a great hook. :))
During the rating I've mostly played the browser games as I'm usually on my work laptop which should not have random executables running on it. I've also taken the time to download a few on my PC (always running the virus scanner before starting, you can never be too catious :D), but it's definitely easier to just start something in the browser.
Aww, I really liked the art! Also the spinning was on point, slightly challenging, but I could get the hang of it.
Maybe the randomness (if it's random) could be tweaked a bit: sometimes I only had 8 ripe souls in a round, which meant I could only make one mistake. This meant that the second spin upgrade was quite a debuff as I was reaping everything. :D
Taking a look at yours now, here is ours :) https://itch.io/jam/theveryseriousjuniperdevgamejam/rate/4696962
Haha, yours had a quite funny theme :D Here is our very serious romance game: https://itch.io/jam/theveryseriousjuniperdevgamejam/rate/4696962
Thank you for your kind and detailed feedback! We are quite inexperienced in game development, so it's super useful to hear about mixels and unfortunate font choices, but it all makes sense. :) We will definitely have to work a lot more on the controls and the camera movement to make it more user friendly. Thank you for all your suggestions, we will try around with them. :)
Aww, thanks a lot for your comment and for your suggestions! We will improve the guide after the jam and also try to make it less dizzying and disorientating. We also have big plans with the web mechanics, we will see how it evolves. By the way, absolutely loved your game! (But already left a comment there as well :D)
I had to read the comments to understand the piano mechanics as I always pressed a key, then x, and it just exited - then I've tried playing a sequence and pressing x, but also didn't work. :D
Other than that the base concept was super interesting, loved the different skills (the little toad-thingy that didn't jump super high was the least obvious one though and I think I bugged in two of the ropes by activating them from the wrong angle 😜), and it all came together very nicely. I liked it a lot, well done!
Please take a look at our very serious romance game: https://itch.io/jam/theveryseriousjuniperdevgamejam/rate/4696962 I will check out your game in a minute :)
Very interesting idea, I liked all the different type of guns and enemies! It was a bit hard for me to figure out how to turn the wheel properly that all of my guns are useful, and would have loved some upgrades on my already bought guns (but maybe I just didn't make it far enough in the game :D). Well done!
Not sure if this is a problem on my laptop, but I had it multiple times that my mouse actions were not taken, and then I thought that the game was frozen. Then clicking like a few pixels off worked, but it was quite confusing. (I've played the browser version in case it matters.)
As others have already mentioned, I've also found the information dump and all the data and choices quite dense. :D I've just decided to go with 4 cards, chose and used them exactly the same way in all missions and rounds, and that somehow got me completing all of them, but I'm still pretty clueless. :)) Maybe you can make a longer "onboarding" where you have fewer stats or fewer cards, so every one can pick up the speed?
Very interesting concept, I've found the base idea very creative. :) The upgrade system was nice, decided to max out everything before going for the last application, and this resulted in sending quite a lot of applications... 😂 Luckily I didn't get blocked by spam filters, and even landed a nice job, how convenient! Well done!
Thanks a lot! I hope you will like ours: https://practical-manatee.itch.io/juniper-game-jam-2026
Wow, looks very colorful, will have a try :) Here is our game if you have the time to take a look, thanks :)) https://itch.io/jam/theveryseriousjuniperdevgamejam/rate/4696962
