I mad J.U.L.I.A.N reach his dream! I loved the minigames in between more than actual fight. The narrative was nice and the money and reputation system can go a long way if you spend more time developing. I got tricked in the beginning and missed a few punches to the punchbags because WASD worked on UI but not in minigames :D

Cirno Against the Clock: Touhou FPSI really like the idea to use arrows for everything it makes it quite minimalist!
The animations & the character design are fun!
For feedback:
- The hitbox of the "notes" minigame is not very clear at first, maybe instead of a blue line you could make a rectangle shape so the player know when to click
- For the combat I just spammed attack and it worked, maybe some balancing to force the player to dodge a bit ^^

The count is down!Decent story game. Gameplay-wise, it's quite good. Though, the art could do with a bit more polish, the pixel size is inconsistent. Also, why is the reps required so much spamming, my arms hurt... 😅

A game about a fancy air cooler.I really like the story and the characters! Maybe the game could be a bit easier on the mashing?

Astro Hamster CountdownI love this take on the prompt! You guys did awesome in using the mini-games to progress the narrative. And the reputation system and narrative behind it all gave it a ton of depth. It was super fun!

Robots & NumbersI really loved this one! The sudden switch from 2d to 3d made me laugh/reminded me a lot of N64 games and how the overworld was 1 style and then in battles was fully 3D, or kinda like something out of Smiling friends. The story is really good! I love the character designs and just going through the missions. My only complaint is that the lifting game seems glitched. It was also very hard to mash the keyboard. Overall great game!

Count Stockula's Market MeltdownThis was really cool! Yeah the mix of 3d and 2d was neat. First boxing game I've seen for count down, surprisingly.

Count Stockula's Market MeltdownThis was a really cool game. I felt really connected to Julian and wanted to make all the best decisions for him haha. The little minigames were a nice touch and the variation in gameplay and art style kept things fresh. In the boxing part it was a little hard to tell when to dodge and I think some of the music notes I was missing when they touched the blue but getting "good" when they were quite far away, but really they're minor nitpicks and I finished the game!
Really liked your mashup of artstyle and the dancing victory screen got a laugh out of me, nice work!
