As a writer, I ADORE that my weapon of choice in this game is a quill and ink. The mechanics felt pretty solid and challenging enough to keep me invested when I perished.

F.L.O.P. - Front Line Orbital PatrolI really like it, one of the best games in my personal top from this jam, when i finished second level and saw end screen, i was a bit upset because i don't want it to stop and play next level. Great work, ablosutly facinating and addicting gameplay.
I wish a bit more clarity on screen, because i run into some enemies in taugh crowd fights

Echo [Pathfinder]very nice concept, having left click to propulse the pen made gameplay more dynamic
brain couldn't keep up with all enemies at the screen and pen at some point lol
that's too bad there's no score / leaderboard, the game has a lot of potential
great game and quite polished for a jam game !
congrats on the submission

Panda 750 Cog RevoltReally cool game! Love the mechanic and it's quite challenging. Also love the art :D

No More PancakesThis was really cool, made me think if I got this as a powerup in binding of isaac it would change the whole game in a really creative way. Big potential for the mechanic for sure!

The Travelling Necromancer ProblemCrazy good art, amazing music, i just dont know what to say this game is just absolutely perfect, as well as being a really creative idea too. Who couldve thought of a bird killing insects with a pen?

Waiting For ChaosVery fun game, I especially liked twirling the quill and launching it down the screen. The music made the game feel very intense. Very unique take on the theme, an idea like that hadn’t crossed my mind, and it was very well executed. Great job.

Loop of Seasons: Magic SeedThis is the first game I've seen in this Jam similar to mine! I really liked your art style and music as well - very cool execution of the theme. Well done.

Koala-rangdang i'd this one I'd play for longer if there was more! Learning how to chuck the pen around enemies without having to circle them felt amazing. Well polished, really fun!

The Geometry of the MindThe art was very clean and the core gameplay mechanic was implemented very well

Weapon Ball ScrollerWow I love this game! The art and sound and overall atmosphere are really beautiful!

The World is Alien Yet FamiliarI think this is one of the best spins I have seen on the circle the enemy game. Art looks great as well. I think one of the most satisfying aspects was when I sent out the quill and it looped around the enemy. For that matter I would maybe like to have a bit more control of the direction in which the quill boomerangs / circles back.

LoopomotiveThanks so much, that’s such high praise!
Totally hear you on the feedback about the quill control. We iterated a ton on the way that worked, and probably would have done so for another week if it wasn’t a 4-day game jam xD
I think there are probably some things we could do to give you more control as it circles back, and we might experiment with them after the jam rating period ends. You can get a decent amount of control by moving laterally and changing your aiming direction while holding down the mouse button during a throw, but it’s definitely limited (by design, but there’s some room for a middle ground for sure).
