A really interesting take on the theme. Memory, trickery and cuteness. I love the art style. My one quibble is that where the enemies could see and chase Cici felt arbitrary.

Last KernelNice concept and easy to understand gameplay. I think it's a really creative take on the theme and had a good time playing this one. Great work!

Trivia DevilI love the idea that all the enemies drop the stars you need to collect as it enforces early on learning enemy patterns and crushing them with the blocks. Good simple game had a lot of fun.

Mr. Boxes Magical Matrix MissionDamn that is cute!
Nice artwork, nice levels, good idea. The difficulty is exponential, though
Good game!

Call me detectiveThat first level is deceptively easy in a good way!! Keeping track of all of the safe spots was fun, and this is one of the few games in the jam where I'm actually keeping in mind the timer countdown!! Super cute style and lil guy noises too!!!

MELTDOWN MELTDOWNCool game. It is tricky to remember hidden the order of the blocks and move accordingly.
The character design is also very cute.

Digits BombThis is pretty good, reminds me of old flash games I used to play, fun and simple concept with cute artwork, changing the blocks depending on when they disappear would be a good idea

10 Seconds is Plenty of TimeFun small game! I don't know whether you intended this, but I would prefer the different blocks to have different colors or textures. Just so that you can know from the very beginning when each block will disappear or reappear.
Anyways, Cici is kind of cute, and the music is nice too :)

Afternoon DriveSuper challenging movement-puzzle game! <3
Love the cute sounds and art. I ragequit a couple of times because of the levels, it was fun.
Good job! :D
(Suggestion: drop the restart countdown, feels like unnecessary waiting.)
