Unfortunately I missed the rating period for your game, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed it! I really liked how floaty the movement / jumping was and I liked how you could basically freeze in mid air during a jump-- that's not something you see too often. Only things that stuck out to me that could be improved is the dash is a bit too fast / made me feel like I lost control and also it'd be great to see some particle effects or something when you hit an enemy. Other than those small things I had a really great time with your game! Also I really really love the way you did the background layers, it made the game feel very dynamic and alive.

thanks for coming back to the game!! I’d be honored if you include my game in your video! Please send me the link when you’re finished :)

thanks so much for playing! I would definitely like to update the enemy behavior / pathfinding but I have a lot to learn in that department haha. Thank you so much for the feedback :)

I definitely agree that reset should be mapped to a different key, thanks for bringing it up! It was a last minute decision, so I definitely didn’t think it through. Thank you for playing and for the feedback!

Thank you so much for playing! I really appreciate it :)

wow thank you so much!! That is a very nice compliment, thank you for playing my game :)

thank you so much! I’m sorry about the escape button, it should be mapped to a different key certainly, but it was a last minute addition. Thank you for your feedback, I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the game :)

thank you so much for playing!

thank you so much, I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the game! I really like the idea of a difficulty system like that because I am somewhat attached to the game being difficult, and I think some players will really enjoy overcoming that challenge, but many others can’t get past the first few rooms and I’d like them to experience more of the game. So I think the best balance is a difficulty setting like you mentioned. Thank you again!

these are great ideas! I definitely wanted a progression system / different spells, but I unfortunately couldn’t fit it in before the jam ended. Also I think you’re right about the dash, the iframes need to be extended a bit. Thank you for your feedback!

Anything having to do with penguins means I'm INVESTED! But seriously, your game is fantastic! It controls so nicely and is very charming as well. I really appreciate how smooth the movement and especially the jumping is. Great concept for a game-- penguins are really living every day like it's a last stand lol. Nice job :)

Thank you so much for playing and especially for your enthusiasm for the game. I just updated the game so that the early stages are a bit more balanced/ fair, but the game is definitely still challenging. Thank you so much!

Really well made tower defense game. I love the variety on display here and I was hooked on your game for a while :) great job!

This game is honestly super impressive! The fact you have a level select and several characters as well as a flag customizer is amazing! Also the game feels great to play! I would like to see a little more visual feedback when hitting an enemy-- like maybe particles or a flashing sprite when they get hit. Great job on your game!

I've been going through as many games as I can too! There's definitely a lot haha! I just updated my game today if anyone would like to play! :)

This was a very funny and cute game and the visuals / music were very well done. I do wish there was a bit more to do in the game, but I like the humor and the little playground you've set up for the player here. Nice job!

Thank you so much! I'm very happy it feels good to play and that it has a compelling gameplay loop. Thanks for playing :)

Cool game that is very fun to play! I would like to see a boost button for the movement but overall great job!

Thanks for bringing the bugs to my attention! And thank you for playing!

This game is my JAM! I love anything first person medieval combat focused, and I had a lot of fun with this. Also it is such a unique concept! I would love to see this project developed a bit more. If I may make some suggestions, I would love to see the controls tightened a tad bit and also (just a small thing), the sound effect you used to indicate that you hit an enemy is a sound I associated with a blocked attack, so at first I was confused if my attacks were going through or not. I could see this game being a super fast paced Quake-esque game but with swords. Definitely one of my favorite games from this jam. Nice job!

Thank you so much! I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the game :)

Nice job on your game. You really nailed the horror elements well and made it a very tense experience. I do wish that the movement speed was just a tiiiiny bit faster, but that might just be my personal preference. Nice job!

This is such an adorable game, all the sounds effects really add to the overall charm of the game. I also really like the fact that you have to set and build the trap, it really adds to the tension of the game!

Thank you so much for playing my game. I'm glad you enjoyed the music, it's very important to me to have good music in games that I make so I really appreciate the complement. Definitely have a lot more experience making music than as a game dev lol. Thanks again :)

Such a fun little game! I think you perfectly balanced how the game gradually gets more difficult and slowly gives you stronger shots. Nice job on your game!

Here's my game! Also my first game jam : )

Here's me game!

This lemonade stuff is serious business... Great job on your game, it's very fun to play!

Absolutely loved the aesthetics of this game and the music as well. The gameplay was very simple but I like the subtle complexity in the different enemies. Nice job!

Such a cute little relaxing game! I really loved the sprites / art work in the game :)

This was really fun! I would love to see some more items / effects in the game as well

This is a fun and unique concept! The instructions helped get started understanding how to play, but it's definitely the kind of game that you have to keep playing to get an understanding of how to play. Nice job on your game!

The shooting felt very nice and the gameplay was really engaging! Great job :)

I had such a great time with your game! I love the super retro / classic dungeon explorer element to it. Also, it seems that many elements of your game are randomly generated, which is so cool! The combat kind of had a text-RPG style to it, which fits perfectly with the game you made. I think it would be awesome to continue developing this game. Maybe adding an interactive element to combat would be fun, like if you can choose to attack or run or block-- something like that might be even more fun! Great job on your game, I really enjoyed it : )

I could tell right away from the screenshots I was gonna love this one. You came up with a lot of gameplay features for a game jam, and the game feels really nice to play! I particularly love the platforming and how good the movement feels. I would love to see this project further fleshed out with sound design, particle effects, and more! I could definitely see myself getting super into this game and playing this as my comfort or relaxing game. Great job!

This game is a great example of a simple concept that is immediately super engaging and well thought out / planned. I found myself getting a bit addicted to this one, and I like how each level gets just a bit more complex / difficult. Great job!!

I love the role reversal concept and the gameplay is very fun! It's a tough game, but it's definitely the type of game where you can feel yourself improving quickly as you learn to recognize the patterns of the balls / get more comfortable with the controls. Nice job on this one!

Very fun and well executed game! I really love the upgrade system as well as how nice it felt to shoot-- the controls felt great! Great job on your game :)

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing!
