It felt very polished, and I was super impressed how fun this could be for a long time! :D

Gjoe's Evil MachinesLoved it! Such a cute and fun game, I had a great time. I like the 8 bit nintendo feel and concept. Feels very authentic the way it's immediately enjoyable like those old games, so cool!

Spiral EnergyVery nice art. A simple concept but well executed, very cool. Nice sprites, really cool.

Spin StationMaybe the most serious game yet. I hope I will one day be serious enough to access the fabled options menu...
The game over screen is so good <3 Although it would have been cool to add your score to it because you can't currently tell what your score was when you inevitably perish!
It seems that the player velocity isn't set to 0 at the screen edges so it can just stack up and you get stuck for a bit while you wait for the value to drop lol
Big fan of the visuals, very charming. Great stuff for your first jam :D

Water LockedI love the pixel art. There does seem to be a bug where if you touch the edge of the screen your character gets stuck. Overall a fun experience.

The Hamster EngineFor a first game jam, you did a pretty good job. I really enjoyed the game over screen, it got a laugh out of me.

A Serious First Day on the JobVery good, very serious. I truly felt immersed in the role of being JuniperDev being very serious. Great job for you first game! The pixel art is really good and I'm always impressed when people can animate their pixel art spinning because I'm just not skilled enough yet to do that. Awesome work! (And I love the options not-options button lol)

Conscious LightThe pixel art and audio are so good. There is barely any fault with them. the only issue i see is in the gameplay that the player can get locked into the top or bottom edge for some time if you keep pressing space or let the character fall long enough respectively.

BlightseedReally great art, and the presentation overall is very good. I did find that if I just held space and went to the top of the screen I could avoid 99% of obstacles though.
