This is such a fun game! I've never seen this use of the mouse before. Really clever interpretation of the concept. I loved the art and the music was really fun.

Nice arts and concept, like it!
I wonder if this was specifically designed to make the animals blend into the environment?
interesting idea, I want more levels

SHRIMPLATIONVery polished, very cute. I think the controlls for the boomerang are very funny, reminds me of Wii Sports motion controll a bit. Keep it up! ^^

Its Only Right!G'day mate!
Hah this sure gave me a bit of a wrist workout! Great idea, hit the theme dead-on, and absolutely loved the audio and visuals - though the text was a little bit hard to read!
Had a blast with this, great submission.

Lightspeed LoopMain mechanic is quite satistying, good job! Although a bit tiring, maybe keeping it spinning after reaching a certain velocity would help. Also I think having some animals or areas you should avoid hitting would add an element of risk too

Spool | GMTK Jam 2025This game made my arms a bit tired from playing, but it was fun although I felt like I was more or less hitting at random. I think the game could have benefited by being longer and having more variety.

Just Another DayI really liked the boomerang mechanic! Spinning around the emus kinda felt like the old Nintendo DS Pokemon Ranger games, which I love! Amazing work everyone! Wish I could play it on my DS :)
