Fun game and a really fun concept - I was a little bummed when level one ended and then got a moment of delight to know that there are more levels and it keeps getting more challenging. Putting the bounty poster back together was definitely the most challenging for me, I got to level 7 and then had to put slow mode on. Nice job!

Multiple little games in one! Super well done, very charming

Simple, fun and entertaining. Having difficulty increase was the perfect decision to apply the skills before and see how far someone can come. Good job! :)

Fun minigames. At 8+ I could only do a few more on slow. It was fun even when I had to redo over and over. Thought the platformer was a nice reward for all the times I had to retry the wanted poster. I like the little animations, like the eyes when hovering over start, the tearing up the poster. It's cute. It's fun. It gets ragefully difficult.

Thanks so much! When developing it i had no idea the wanted poster would be the hardest part, but I was quite happy with the result. (Of course I could tweak the numbers to change it, but I was happy with how that played out)

Loved it, nice Wario Ware inspiration, would have loved more mini-games but the idea to just increase the difficulty is a nice workaround for a solo work, very nice job !

My overly ambitious draft had ten mini-games ^^;;, I knew it was overscoped but I had no idea just how much! But that's partially also due to being very rusty with Godot and this being perhaps my second time working with shaders (for the poster game). Thanks for the kind words!

Loved the 8bit art ! The 3 microgames are pretty simple, perfect for the first run, and then the ramping up difficulty brings replayability 😊 that was fun

Kind of reminds me of a party game, fun, quick little mini games. Had fun with it but did run into the bug you talked about on the page. I enjoyed it, good job!

Thanks for sharing! I managed to track down the issue and uploaded a patched version!

Awesome, I will check it out again

I like the chase music and the minigames I have to do to catch the criminal.  One of the icon minigame variants reminds me of "Find Luigi" from Mario 64 DS.  Animations are nice, and it's incredible that you accomplished all this as a solo dev. Fantastic work

Developer

Thanks so much! That mini-game was definitely in my mind when I made that. Let's just say that imitation is the highest form of flattery ;)

Nice game loop! The earlier levels were pretty easy and then it got harder after level 4 I think.. the piecing together of the poster kept getting me!

Developer

Great you liked it! Unfortunately if you fail with the poster at some point it becomes impossible with the web export :( tracking the bug down but it looks like it might actually be a bug in the renderer. I'm hoping to do a post-jam release where you can also revisit the games individually :)

Developer

It was a bug in the renderer indeed, but fortunately I was allowed to upload a fixed version of the game (that avoided using the bugged feature).

simple but fun concept, works really well

Thanks for this game. The concept is simple but really effective, and the difficulty scaling is handled very cleverly, especially in β€œFind Him”. The minimalist visuals also fit the gameplay perfectly.

Very fun minigames! and the escalation concept is great too, a good ramp in difficulty. I did however run into a bug, after failing the wanted poster a few times, the pieces stopped showing up. But other than that I had a blast

Developer

Thanks for letting me know! I'll look into that. It never happened to me before. Could you provide any details to help me reproduce the bug?
(this puzzles me since in principle each minigame is a separate scene which is destroyed and created each time, so it _should_ be independent of previous failures...)

Hey I sent you a discord DM with some details!
