Beautiful graphics, interesting plot (which is rare for jam games). The gameplay idea is interesting, but it gets boring quickly.

Interesting concept, love the world building, I want to know more about the world and the characters, and what the eyes are, and what's going on in this world, it's a super cool atmosphere to expand upon. Really nice job in achieving that! Great entry for the jam!

Emerald RushHow about sections? Like a descend section (like this one) then it becomes a platform section where you find pieces of the story or even characters that tell you the story, then another descent section and so on? Sorry, I'm just brainstorming! I loved it, it gave me kind of a distant hollow knight vibe with a strange world and it left me curious about what this world is, really cool, good job!
I think this just may by my favorite game in this entire gamejam! I adore the theme and the lore, plus the idea of the geese characters. Genuinely incredibly fun!

Lost FathomsFun game! I liked the art and the setting. The achievements were cool to see in a game jam game and made me want to play more! I really liked the creative upgrades you could get. Overall, great game!

Tin Can Escape Plan (Jam Version)This game was so hard I kept losing even on easy mode (T^T). I love the art! The story seems a bit too intellectual for me to understand :'(

The Buried RitualAudio was a big highlight of the game, well done! Art was also very beautiful but I can't help but notice the grey pixels everywhere, every transition from black to white was smoothed out, a couple transparent particles, it's really stretching 1-bit but oh well, at least it's very beautiful to look at. I also like the story, the ambiance, very atmospheric. Gameplay was too simple though, a bit too RNG dependant sometimes and there really wasn't a good way of telling when you were about to lose. But a pretty good game overall, good job!

Sands of TimeIdeologically, the game conveys the conditions of 1-bit, but yes, the technical performance is slightly bad. If I'm not mistaken, transparency of the same color was not considered a violation of the rules. But I think this is a separate conversation. You can't bring back the past!)
Nevertheless, I'm glad that u liked the game in general!
Interesting upgrades that lead to different play styles. (And nice little details like the falling geese)

Drillbert's AdventureVery original game, I don’t get why it is a goose that we are playing (maybe language barrier) but I like the artstyle, and the music is awesome, it feels a little bit like the Dune soundtrack sometimes, congrats on this I love it !

Fallin' WellThis game is so unique! It gives off its vibe so well, I love everything about it! Great job!

Hidden in the DepthsThe gameplay is a bit repetitive, but the atmosphere is mesmerizing. The music choice is especially great. I did notice one issue though: sometimes the eyes spawn behind background objects and become completely invisible.

Cult ManorThe eyes... While the theme isn't new, it's far from overused, and in this interpretation, it truly blooms and comes alive.
A very unusual core mechanic and great attention to detail. *Special thanks for the language selection option and the convenient main menu.
A project with soul and solid execution. Glad I decided to play.

The Deep SessionПервые впечатления от игры очень положительные! с самого начала автор затягивает в небольшое, но очень захватывающее "приключение" утенка. В чем суть его спуска? что его ждет "там" на глубине?! Интерес к достижению бездны поджигают интересные диалоги с такими же обреченными утками как ты. Игра как зачаток имеет высокие перспективы на дальнейший рост! всем советую 8.5 уток из 10
