Thank you! I struggled to get the camera movement to something resembling "just right" so completely get what you're saying. Also only managed 3 hours because of asset reuse from last week's jam.

Not a bad game. Took me a couple of goes to work out what I was supposed to be doing and how the varying levels made a difference (started with putting all 100 people into making spitfires...). Could you put a "full screen" button on it?

Really like this game. The first couple of obstacles were quite frustrating, and it would be good to have some kind of checkpoints, but overall a very nice entry! Love the vocals as well :D

Another nice game from Coke Gaming Studios. I like the variation with the moving platforms, but kept finding the jump button didn't respond which led to my death multiple times. I found the sea movement effect a bit trippy. If you haven't discovered Shader Graph yet, I recommend this video which I used for the lava waves in Ug's Volcano - 

I'm generally a big fan of your games, but have to admit I didn't really get this one (sorry). I first tried playing it according to the instructions, waiting for the enemy's damage circle to go down and then pass through it, pressing space to damage it and in doing so always seemed to take more damage than I was dealing. In the end I beat it by going straight towards it and spamming the space bar, which is kind of the opposite of what you seemed to be going for when you say, "something you deal with over time rather than instantly."

Love the particle effects with square particles and the subtle graphical effects you put in though, taking some simple shapes and making them more interesting.

Like others have said, beautiful in its simplicity. Get sticks. Make fire. Very caveman!

I love the mini-games, all put together to create a tamagotchi-style caveman game. Good job!

Simple little game. Well done for submitting something written in Scratch!

Really liked this game. Very nice!

I really like the parallax on this game. It's pretty fun too, even if it is really short to play!

Graphics and sound effects are great! I see in your comments you had much more planned as well. Scope for a 3-hour jam is always really tough. Good job on getting something done though!

Really nice game. What does the face say when you miss? Is it something like, "you can do better than that"?

Very nice additions! Looks so much more polished than before. Excellent job!

There are some nice little touches in this game. I like how the balls have a minimum bounce height so it's always possible to shoot them. I like the way the beam gets wider to indicate reload time. The game has sound and music and it's clear from the outset what you're supposed to do. My only gripes are that if you destroy a ball quickly there is a long delay until the next one spawns, and that balls quite quickly bounce off the screen. Those are only minor gripes though to what is otherwise a great game.

Really like the gameplay. You must really hate dentists :D . I think it could have been greatly enhanced for minimal effort by adding some sound and music.

I really liked this one. I kind of like that there's no shot counter, or way to lose. I would have liked some kind of mellow music to be playing in the background while lining up my shots though to complement the chilled nature of the game. Well done!

Agree with Catervus that it seemed a bit too hard/unforgiving. Perhaps increasing the enemy speed over time, or adding hit points so that you don't die from a single mistake could make it a bit more fun (IMHO).

Interesting take on the theme, but I can see how it's appropriate. Seems a bit too easy. Also, am I supposed to be able to buy/sell when the market is closed?

Great atmosphere created for such simple graphics and a cool idea too! I see your observation about timing things with the music on a web build. I had a similar problem when I made Carol of the Bells (not a 3-hour game!). The way I solved it is to forget about delta time altogether. Instead, I used:

• The projectile's starting position
• The projectile's finishing position
• A timestamp of when the projectile started
• A timestamp of when the projectile was supposed to arrive at the destination

With these four variables I could calculate the position each frame by getting a ratio using Time.time in relation to the start/end time and then lerping that between the start/finish positions. Doing it this way means it doesn't matter how many FPS you're on, or what delta time works out to be, because you're recalculating based on the current time each frame.

Hope this helps!

Glad you put a mouse sensitivity slider in! Really like how you've captured the fairground style with both the graphics and music. I found it difficult to see the boomerang after I'd thrown it. A light-brown object against a red background is kind of camouflaged!

Love the idea. And yes, I also find it strangely satisfying when the bouncing logo hits a corner :D

For a Cookie-Clicker style game, I think you need to adjust the pricing of things. It's too easy to get up to silly levels of income.

Outstanding graphics for a pico-8 game. Pretty mellow compared to the button-clicking frenzy I had with the other stone skipping game in this jam! I would have liked some in-game guidance about what each of the gauges are for though. I know I'm trying to get each of them in the green area, but what do they represent?

For a previous game (https://vmpwje.itch.io/pac-man-metamorphosis) I wanted a high score which was essentially an integer, stored somewhere in the cloud, that I could reference. I after looking around a bit I discovered Firebase which allowed me to do that for free. It was pretty easy to integrate too, though probably more effort than I'd want to put into a 3-hour jam!

Superb game, clearly demonstrating you don't need a lot of pixels to create an engaging game! What did you build it on? Is this Pico-8?

Mellow game with great visuals. Love the take on the theme as well. I found there was no penalty for clicking at the wrong time though, so I tried spam clicking and discovered you can gain multiple multipiers for each bounce.

Great idea and impressive implementation, even if it was 5 hours! I didn't understand why I was becoming the person I shot though.

Nice game. As mentioned below, it's pretty hard! In the comments on the game page someone suggested adding a high score table, so I've created one in the comments :)

I like your idea of a high score, so I'm posting mine here for others to beat. Reply to samlarsonstudio's comment if you beat me!

Really nice game and congrats getting it done under 3 hours.

Doh! The health bar is a Slider but I forgot to untick "interactable". *facepalm*

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Nice idea for the theme. I see you went slightly over the time limit :D

Would have loved to have seen some sound/music.

Super artwork! Did you draw it all yourself? Funny dialogue too.

Nice game. I was defeated the first time I played, then got victory the second time. I like the idea, implementation and use of music and sound. The only gripe I have is that the indicator in the top right about how many enemies you've defeated is quite small with white text blending in a bit against a grey background. Bigger text, and perhaps pulsing the text when you defeat an enemy would have been nice.

Congrats on your first ever jam! This is significantly better than my first jam entry :D

Great idea. Pretty simple, but fun. Look forward to seeing you in future jams.

I really like this game. I think I lucked out with my first run though as I got 3 big ones in my hand! Would really like to see some kind of "hiring" stage where you get to pick your 5 heroes and have a pool of points, or cash, or something to buy them with.

If you want a variety of sound effect, easily produced, I recommend https://sfbgames.itch.io/chiptone

This is pretty good. I like the variation in character types, though the first one is *really* bad compared to even the next one up. I think there are a few things that would make this game a lot better with little effort. Sound effects are a big one, e.g. picking up coins, bugs dying, etc. I recommend https://sfbgames.itch.io/chiptone. A floor texture would have been good too, particularly in the AI area as I found I was wandering around with no indication of whether I was actually moving as I couldn't see any walls. There also didn't seem to be any way to win? Unless I missed that? I think I collected all coins and got rid of all bugs. Overall though, this was a really solid entry and was enjoyable to play.

Yeah! I won the game. The difficulty curve on this is really good. Took me several play throughs to get there and I enjoyed trying out different combinations of upgrades along the way. The only two things I might have done differently - sound effects, there don't seem to be any. The music is pretty catchy though. Also also the font, I usually pick a CC0 font from https://www.fontspace.com/category/cc0 for my games as I think the default fonts in Godot/Unity are quite plain.

Love the artwork and audio, and the game is 100% on theme. The only bit I have a small gripe with is that the mission results seem like quite an anti-climax. Displaying the results one at a time with some kind of success/fail sound effect  on each one could have made it a bit more dramatic.
