ooo I love the music! Lots of very cool game design and narrrative choices made me wonder -Is this based on something? The charging minigame was especially dope, love the switchup in mechanics. Sick entry, hope you enjoyed the jam ✨

It wasn't based on anything outside of letting jam constraints push me around. I do kinda want to make more games with these characters though.
I did enjoy it! I used it as an opportunity to sketch out a lil' game editor. (There's a secret hidden thing if you're curious, press "p" in-game to see the editor I built to design all the in-game scenes, can't save with it on itch, but I used it locally :) )
BTW: tho I created all the pixel art sheets for this by hand during the jam (characters, levels), I do want to attribute music to https://tallbeard.itch.io/three-red-hearts-prepare-to-dev, completely agree it was perfect for this entry.
Being "tethered" by the charge time was a good way to make exploration more interesting, even on a small map. The minigames were a lot of fun too. Great work!

Pythagoras (Game Jam Version)Great job, really cute! I love the aesthetic, as well as the music! Keep it up, it’s really awesome. I hope you’ll do well in the other jam you’re participating in too!

Master's Day Off [Pizza Jam 2026]Really cool idea for the charging minigame. Really enjoyed the overall aesthetic as well.

Reel Big ProblemsThe overall aesthetic of the game is pretty well done. The only thing I wish was if Rupert could get a few extra steps of charge, just so it doesn't hurt to explore the level too much.

Reel Big ProblemsA favorite so far! There was just enough challenge to make it interesting for me! Loved the look and feel of it, all the sound effects gave perfect feedback.

The Legends of Naval Mine CoveProton Powder got me lol, that was great. The charging mini game was really fun, the music was super groovy, and the visuals were nice too. Also, the save system was a really nice addition.

Side Effects May Include: PaperworkLove the art style and the music is funky. Seems very well put together and I wanted to explore the spaceship more. I found it really hard though, kept running out of charge. Although the battery charging game was cool - I feel like minigames in a jam are usually out of scope.
