Exceptional polish! The animations, the character design, the lighting, it's all above what is expected of such a short jam. The gameplay is, by and large, great as well. I have two problems: the monsters not being visible when not lit is a great choice, of course, but do make sure not to cheap out the players with it. After the first breakroom, there is a monster hiding around the corner and, when a player approaches, it will not be naturally lit by their flashlight. You sort of just need to know that it's there. Secondly, I'm afraid that hiding was a bit inconsistent for me. I understand you get hit when the animation is still underway, but I've also gotten hit after the animation had already finished and the box had been settled for a few moments. This made me avoid using the hiding mechanic, which is, of course, supposed to be an important mechanic for the game.
These were really my only problems with the game. It's very impressive, how much you managed to achieve in such a short time.
You got a nice concept going! I think it's sort of lacking a goal. That doesn't have to be an ending, but just having a score or a timer would make a huge difference. Very nice presentation and audio, I especially like the eyes' laughter. Implementation of theme and special feature is great
This game is very well put-together! There are quite a few features and they all seem to work as intended. That being said, I think the theme implementation is a bit lacking. I understand that hiding in a cardboard box makes it so the enemies don't trust what they see, but hiding in a cardboard box is not a vital feature in this game. You can go through the game without hiding at all and, in my opinion, it's much easier to do so, because you can't punch people to death while hiding and you're a lot slower.
The presentation is excellent, the game is very stable, the punch has a good feel to it. There is much to be praised about this game, especially given the time constraints.
Very nice. I like that the box is used for multiple purposes. The presentation is a bit lacking, but the game is enjoyable and the theme and special feature implementations are good
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Got through it with 57 deaths. I though at first that the enemy showing up randomly wouldn't fit well with the platforming challenges, but I never got into a situation where I couldn't avoid it and the narrow misses were very exciting. Two small problems: I couldn't collect the green stars, at least not by just touching them. I also felt the wall jump was a bit inconsistent in how much horizontal velocity it gave. The presentation and music certainly made up for those pretty minor flaws
I quite like the presentation. The colour palette is cute and the spritework legible and clear. I'm afraid that, unless I'm missing something crucial, the gameplay is a bit lacking. Is there any way to ascertain which packages contain the bombs? The implementation of the theme and special object was perfect.

Are you sure the number of scanners doesn't increment? We made it so that the cutscene from picking it up only plays once unless you close out of the game, maybe that caused some confusion?
Made a soundtrack for it and did some polishing. I tried to make it a bit easier for following devs to add more levels. Unfortunately can't get a webGL build going for some reason.

It's a 2D farming game where you have to appease a demonic entity. I've unintentionally left a few things unanswered, because I ran out of time, and am looking forward to seeing how you might fill in the blanks
I somehow actually got it working. I already had an empty page and apparently I could just add the zip file to that. I hope that doesn't break any rules. Here's my submission: https://itch.io/jam/day-1/rate/2188681
