I had a good time, and found the mechanics quite creative!

WOOHOO BEAT IT FIRST TRY. Very fun roguelike. Felt a bit too easy to the point where a lot of the new balls felt like fluff (I never took damage so I'm not even 100% sure what the trigger for damage was). Other than that though it was great, and having it all contained on the same screen was kind of ingenious design. Great work!

Kairos: Escape the LoopCongrats! About the difficulty I purposefully made it easier than I would like as I want more people to be able to beat it in a shorter amount of time, like for game jams. I'm updating the game after the jam and adding more content, which will hopefully force the player to settle more so into a build to tackle the game's challenges. Glad you enjoyed!
This is great! Very addictive and so much content for a jam game! Maybe show lines of attack on hover when placing a weapon?
Other than that, you have got a banger on your hands and if you release it on ios I will buy it right away :)

Cacti Attack!So awesome!! It's super fun, I love the aesthetics and interesting gameplay, and the level of polish is amazing! It's very satisfying to destroy the enemies and beat the system and acquire upgrades. It is a little bit overwhelming in the first few minutes, but then you quickly get a grasp on it and realize it is a nice little gem of a game with plenty of features! Very impressive!

LoopializationNgl, I didn't even realize that I had a health count, and it was kind of confusing to understand what was happening at first (even with the help of the tutorial!). The concept was really unique though, and the art, music, and sound effects were great!

LoopSlasherVery creative and fun game with a nice use of the theme!
I enjoyed getting different balls with different effects, and getting stronger. The different enemy patterns are also great! However, I found one part a bit confusing: I don't really understand why I die when I die. I'm still not really sure how it works haha. Despite this, I had tons of fun playing and I will definitely go back to it.

Hi HoneyVery fun and creative game! It takes some time to understand the gameplay, but once you understand it, it's really fun and addictive.
If I had to nitpick, it's slightly confusing when choosing rewards . Some items are hard to tell if they're balls or passive items, and I'm still not sure what the yellow line between two enemies means.
Still, Amazing game. Great job!

ExorLoopI seriously love this game, phenomenal work. Jus the right amount of head scratching with some really great art and music. There's a bit of a learning curve to understand the mechanics, but I think you do a decent enough job of it, and once you get it it's just a ton of fun. Excellent work, this is one of my favorites this jam!

Skell E. Bones Gets the MilkLove the concept! Art is unique and fun, audio is great. I did manage to somehow freeze the game at 0 remaining shots with nothing happening. Haven't run into any bugs other than that one though and this game is very enjoyable and repayable. I could totally see myself playing a mobile version of this game whenever I needed to burn time!

Maintenance LoopThanks so much! I'm glad that was the only bug you ran into because I found and patched far too many during the jam. The code is horrible, definitely the second worst code I've ever written. I'm considering updating the game after the jam and a mobile version would be cool, although with how bad the code is, 'updating' would actually be almost a complete restart, but I'm definitely considering. Glad you enjoyed ^-^
Very interesting concept! I really like the strategic depth that this game offers. It was a bit confusing, especially early on. I think maybe this could have been mitigated by introducing the mechanics a bit slower and spread out over multiple tutorial levels, but obviously that is difficult for a jam timeframe. Overall, good job!

SPELLSLINGReally creative entry for the jam. The artwork was really nice! Although I did find it a little hard to understand the rules at first

HyperDriftThanks! Sorry about the confusion, I was worried about boring the player with a tutorial that was too long. I figured since it's a roguelike you can experiment and figure things out and then lose and try again if need be with no punishment. Thanks for playing! And I'm glad you liked the art because it's a completely new style I tried out (:
