Thanks very much! Yeah I had a load of trouble with my path planning... Sometimes the kids pick a route that they actually can't complete! Maybe one day I'll get a solid AI system working in a Game Jam! 😂

True, but in which case you could make is a walk button instead? Or a run/walk toggle? In a recent game I made (Dave the Space Pirate) I do exactly that - Dave starts off running but there is a run/walk toggle so that the player can choose a slower speed for more delicate platforming elements... It worked quite well :)
Good fun! Really cute! Controls felt tight and polished, and levels were punishing but not impossible (though I found the minecart mechanic really tricky!). I think that the world map should have used one of Kenney's asset packs, as it was the least polished part of the game, but overall I enjoyed it! Well done!
Really cute! I liked the interactions, and the puzzle element to each island! The music got a bit repetitive though, and I think that you could hide the help text after the first level (or even better, give the player the option to close it). Also, I noticed that click-dragging would trigger the "click" action too, which felt a bit awkward as it meant that sometimes I clicked on the solution accidentally and didn't understand what I'd done to activate it! I liked it though, well done!
Really fun game! I enjoyed it! I like the exploration, the keys, the variety of enemies and obstacles that you have combined to create interesting encounters. I don't like the use of a run key though, as I basically just held it down for the entire time. I was going to say the same about the duck-jump as I found myself always using it, but then there was a jump-pad-into-spikes combo that meant I needed to consider my jump height...
I made a similar game for this jam in 2020 so I know how much effort this will have taken! I would have liked to have had some sounds and music as that was sorely missing - also the crash at the end was a little frustrating! Quite fun to play though, but you can easily cheese large parts by just attacking through the fence/wall. Some basic path planning for the enemies would alleviate this!
Interesting idea, kind of let down by frustrating controls... when I clicked on a rune I expected that rune to change, but it seemed that a random other rune would change instead. I initially thought that clicking a rune changed the runes on either side, which would have been fine as it introduces a puzzle element, but that also didn't seem to be the case? Either way, after clicking about for a while I finally managed to get a combination that was accepted but wasn't the best for the scenario so I was booted back to the menu... The game also needs some serious polishing, and some music!
Really interesting idea! I played on my Android phone and it worked really well! I got down to B200, though I have no idea if that's decent or not!? I would say that the ball collection and firing is probably the weakest part of the game - I couldn't figure out how to do it initially! You might want to hold off starting the timer until the player has dropped a couple of rows down so that they get the idea first? Also, I couldn't figure out the logic behind the timer - it just seemed to do whatever it wanted!
Very cool - I liked the use of the mechanics in the platforming elements - dashing through those spikes was very satisfying! The music was a bit quiet and I think that it needed some more sound effects. Also some more variation in the level design would be nice - the spiky part was excellent though, something more like that in other areas would be good. In 2 days though? Really good!
Nice and chilled game, felt good to play (I like the camera shake!) and well balanced. I would suggest tweaking the starting volumes as the music was too loud by default and the SFX too quiet, but I appreciated the controls that allowed me to change that. I also liked the system console log as a way to see what was going on in the fight sequence :)
I would have liked to have access to more upgrades in the shop - I seemed to very quickly only have access to buy potions and nothing else. A stronger attack, better armour, higher capacity for potions would have all been nice additions to purchase.
What a fun and funny game! I struggled a bit initially with keeping the mouse inside the game window - I was clicking the wheel and dragging left and right instead of going around it in a circle - which meant that I was right-clicking and it did nothing... but once I worked that part out I was unstoppable! Love the sounds, love the music, graphics are cute - good job!
