The video was quite cinematic, more akin to a trailer rather than a pitch, but impressive either way. The sound design was very good, and I had fun playing it. Nice job!

How does your game fit the theme?
The theme “Out of the Box” is expressed through a literal interpretation: the player is a toy inside a box trying to escape. The box becomes a procedurally generated dungeon, and all mechanics; combat, enemies, and hazards are built from toy-inspired elements within that confined space.

The art style is amazing and the sound design might be one of the best I've seen in the jam so far. The mechanics feel crisps and it's overall a great game.

Vacation HoursPretty fun, the spritework is gorgeous, and the music is great. I will say that I wish the sword slashed in the direction of your mouse/where you're holding the control stick, as trying to line it up so you can actually hit the enemies felt a little bit jank. It was fun to progress through the rooms and grab the different shapes, and I like the addition of the health pickup boxes dotted around. Good stuff.

Scrambled Ships (Jam Version)I liked this game! It was fun and the controls were pretty good. The video pitch was great, but leaned more towards a trailer rather than a pitch. I still thought it was well executed. I like the music.

Bouncing BackThis game is really amazing! The video pitch was really high quality, the sound effects made the game feel alive, and the game play was really fun! I love the amount of polish there is too, I can tell you put a lot of time making the game feel good to play!

Glorp and Glep: The Cardboard CrisisI love the artstyle and vibes of the game. My only complaint is the dash but one nitpick doesn't ruin the experience and I had fun with this one :)

Fred Ships HimselfCame for the puppet, stayed for the fun and engaging gameplay. I like that the mazes were big enough to need exploration, but not so big that I got lost or needed a map. The boss has a really neat design and was a good challenge. The attack felt really satisfying, although the dash could use a little work. Great job!

Bouncing BackThis was such a great randomly generated.... rogue lite? This counts right?? It's gotta, I don't play many. This was great! I loved the art and the story. Very creative and fun!! Awesome job!

Something PrettyThis was really well made! and the randomly generated level is a nice touch especially for a game jam!
Loved the boss too, that was really good! Great job :)

Beasty BrawlThis was really well made! and the randomly generated level is a nice touch especially for a game jam!
Loved the boss too, that was really good! Great job :)

Beasty BrawlVery nicely put together. It was a little laggy, but that might just be my computer being bad. Music was top notch.
Only piece I didn't like was I felt slidey after using a dash. It was a little tough to control.

Quantum EscapeReally great game, feels a lot like a more polished version of ours, but with melee attacks rather than ranged. Sick soundtrack and great art too. Thoroughly enjoyed playing this.

Make BelieveVery smooth animations. I really like the toy box aesthetics and the dark music

Toxic Soul Box!the game visuals are so perfect, played over and over just for the look and feel. I am pretty bad at it so I could not beat the boss. but enjoyed the combat and movement a lot. Really great feel.

Children of the NecrodroneFantastic game! First of all I love the trailer its great. As for the game itself it's very fun and polished. The mechanincs work well. Keyboard controls did feel a bit akward but it's cool that you added controller support. The game is a tad puniching but it works well with the idea you are going for.

Backyard RumbleSuper good game. The movement felt smooth, and overall everything was polished. It would be nice to have more i-frames after being hit, as it was quite easy to be hit a bunch of times and loose most hp within seconds. Overall great job :D
