Hey, thank you for playing!
Thanks, the assets are mostly from https://kenney.nl/

Happy to see another Unreal made submission. 

The idea and style are awesome, I got stuck at the second level where the is a lever and a rock blocking the pink character. Any tip on to how to proceed?

A bit of crit up to the point I got to play it, it's just a tiny biy too dark and the jumping mechnic gets quite buggy. But this reverse jumping must have been tough to implement, huge respect

Thank you for playing!

Very cool and groovy, I had fun

Thank you very much :)

Hey, thanks for playing!
Yes this puzzle solvable but is messy, it's a mix of the bad camera prespective and the cube's collision physics. I uploaded an improved version if you fell like giving it another go, and a solution to the full game is available here:

Great idea, works flawlessly and the puzzles are well thought. 
I like the stage design, space and atmosphere. Felt like ages are passing while floating in space.
My only criticism is the speed of moving the ball, maybe an option to choose the speed or an input that can increase/decrease it would be nice. (Small change for a big experience imrovement). 

Amazing work!

Thanks for playing!!
I agree with all the points you mentioned, especially the amount of hits an enemy takes. =
I will keep it in mind in the future

Cheers and great year

Thank you so much Pet!!!

Your streams do more than words can describe!!

 I love the style and idea!!!
Remaking your game from the previous jam to mix with "Here we go again", is genius

Cool visuals with clever & funny puzzles like climbing the stairs :)

Thank you!

Ah, then no, it was made in an earlier version of UE. Back then I barely knew anything, I'm surprised the game even works haha.
I mostly followed and built upon the GameDev.TV C++ course I was taking at the time.

Hi, Thanks for playing!

Which templates do you mean? The UE 5.6 project templates?

Never imagined I would play Mine Sweeper in first person

Awesome presentation with Portal vibes, and fitting art direction.
Mine sweeper game mode and functionality in first person well executed. 

Some criticism:
1. The objects falling down into the sweeping zone - felt a bit unnecessary - should at least be able to move them because they sometimes blocked the line to sweep for bombs. 
2. This is really a nitpick, but no pause menu

Overall amazing submission and amazing work!!!

Thank you so much!
You made me so happy in the live stream 

Thanks for playing and constructive criticism!

If you reached the wall jump section you got very close to the climax. If you are interested you are welcome to watch the video attached in the submission page or try to continue from where you reached. (Although there is quite a lot of wall jumping coming so be warned XD)

1-2) The laggy feeling is caused by the low frequency update of the color splash, will keep that in mind!

3) I agree, there is much to improve in the movement

4) The wall jumps are a 1 miss fail, missing 1 wall jump means no more wall jumps. I should have made that more clear or let the wall jumps reset with a timer.

Woah!

Thank you so much for the kind words, it brings me joy and motivation. I think I might go in that direction, as I plan to join another game jam this week (The Epic Stack'O'Bot Mega Jam). I think I might revisit this project to incorporate some of it's mechanics into the jam. 

Again it's so nice to read that you like my work, and I will keep a closer eye on this project as I progress in learning to develop.

Very ambitious making a multiplayer game!

Nailed the Hazard vibes and threw me back to Portal with the puzzles and sign designs! Good work

Definitely must play with a friend, I tried it myself but it seems the second puzzle is only solvable with a partner so I might need to replay it later.

Thanks for playing!
I hope it wasn't too much haha.

Thanks for playing and kind words!

I hope it didn't cause you any discomfort, perhaps I should warn about it? (I wanted to keep it a surprise but maybe it's not cool)

Love the aesthetics and UI, literally made me laugh at the title screen. Good theme interpertation.

I'm not sure if it was intentional or if I kept running into a bug, after 2-3 turns I completely lost the ability to peek at cards and could only play them. (single click plays a sound but does not peek, only double click works and immediately plays the unknown card).

Hey!
Thanks for letting me know, I would love to participate again :)

Thank you so much for playing and deep review!
Indeed, I went a bit all over the place with the controls and mechanics, this is a lesson learned for the next jam.

It really cheers me up to hear that you could see the potential and realize how complicated those mechanics could be.

Cheers!

Loved the theme interpretation!

The moment I realized I'm playing as the ball and saw the "Cranage" points meter... hahaha
A truly fun and hilarious game! very good work on the mechanics, visuals and sounds. The music was spot on, made me giggle the moment it started.

- I did wish that there was more objects in the way (i.e. make let there be much more carnage)

Overall great game submission for this jam!

Thank you for playing and positive reinforcement!
I have indeed spent so much time on the mechanics that I had to make the level itself, including the coin collection system and make sure the packaged exe runs all in the last day of the jam. This is a mistake I will learn for the next jam.

Hey!

The arty direction is on point! Very atmospheric, from the music to the visuals it has this creepy sensual sci fi energy.

The night day cycle mechanic is neat and guessing the product based on the strange dialogues was great!

I think I kept hitting a bug, I tried to play 3 times and I ran into it each time until I decided to quit. (I'm playing on Windows).

I would get a certain character stuck in front of the shop counter, then I would "serve" it but it would just stay there and I could serve it again and again. Other characters would  arrive and (my guess) is depending on their draw priority maybe? They would stack up one on top of the other. Going to sleep did not reset it and I would start the next day with a bunch of customers stuck in front of the counter.

Thank you for playing and honest review!
I agree, I got carried away with the mechanics and barely left time to design the actual level and balancing :(
A video walkthrough is available in the game page :)

Outstanding writing, literally managed to make me me feel creepy.
The different endings are a good idea, made me want to reply it after at first I finished quickly with the "good ending".

- As a game though, I didn't feel I had much choice (I never played an interactive story like this, so in temrs of gameplay I don't know of any better options than clicking for a different branch - maybe something like the telltale games could be utilized?).
- Music and SFX could be a great addition to set the tone 

Thanks for playing!
I agree, the controls could use some work, something I need to put time into learning how to tweak in Unreal Engine

Very smooth and satisfying! 
This is the kind of game that can get you hooked.
The mechanics work flawlessly, and the pixelated style fits perfectly. 
- Maybe a bit more precise indications to which leaf exactly is a bee is flying when it "attacks", could work well.

Thanks for playing and review!
Indeed I went a bit all over the place with the controls and mechanics, lesson learned for the future :)

Very neat game!
The art design is on point, music fits perfectly with the relaxing vibe filling the aquarium with sand. 
The scoring system seems to work great too, depending on how close the objects are to the target.

A few crits:
- The chat skipping was a bit wonky, made me accidentally skip many texts when wanted to fill the text instead.
- The opening story could be shorter and "to the point". 

Hey man!
Thank you for playing and positive words :)

Loved the art style, animations and sound!

Everything from the start felt good, every click of the mouse, like every tiny detail was thought of.

The mechanic of the planet spinning under the player instead of the player spinning around the planet was genius. 

Very good sized game for a game jam.

A bit of crit:

- I would suggest making the screen automatically go into wide mode when flying off a planet, it took me sometime to find where it says "press M".

- The UI when using the building was blocking the screen and it felt awkward to kind of close and open it every time wile waiting for the resources to finish cooking.

Great work!

Very courageous choice to try and recreate a souls boss fight!

The hit boxes were working surprisingly accurate and the art design is great. Great choice of music and SFX.

The slow roll animation though, I mean it's possible to use, but it's such a crucial part of the fight that I felt it ruined it. I think that if you could nail the roll, this is a very good project!

Cheers!

Very nice atmosphere, art design and sound.

Pretty cool mechanic changing the orbit radius! 

However, it does get very repetitive after the 2nd planet or so. Missing the orbit of a collectible just to wait for the whole circle again and again got frustrating. Them the enemies felt way too brutal, they just start blasting you and there's no way to escape because of the locked movement, so it felt very unfair. 

My suggestion would be to have a variety of challenges using the rotation around the planet instead of the repetitive process of collecting the green orbs each time.

Thanks for playing!
Yeah I thought that I should have probably had the flying mechanic from the start, it was the devil on the shoulder that thought it's good for the challenge to make the player interact with the shop box. And then again, I didn't plan to have it in the game at first, and after I decided to add it, things went a bit off the rails haha. 

Cheers!

Great art design, the atmosphere, the sound, everything clicked. It really felt like flying inside a living body. The game is just the right size for a game jam!

I loved the indication widgets around the enemies.

Space-ship controls are hard to implement, very good work both on the movement and shooting mechanic. (I only ran into a few scenarios where Q and E started rotating the ship around the aiming axis, instead of turning the ship, which was the intended behavior from what I understood).

 A few nitpicks:

- The spaceship was not centered in the radar widget, i.e. the projectiles were not starting at the center of the circle but somewhere in the right side.

- The pause menu didn't pause the game.

Great work!!!

Great theme implementation and use of Monsters pack haha, I was planning on having them in my game too. 

It's just the right size for a jam, I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Few crits:

- A crosshair would have been nice :P

- The tutorial confused me into thinking the gas enemies should be avoided instead of killed.

- The tutorial was switching a bit too quick for my reading, I didn't understand why not let the player switch tutorial cards?

- I think it might be hard to implement, but the spaceship couldn't aim higher than a certain degree. This created the need to either search for angles from which I could reach higher up enemies or get hit by the ceiling in order to be able to shoot them.
