How does your game fit the theme?
Junktail is built around a repeating countdown to sunset or an empty fuel tank. Your bike can only move with direct sunlight, giving you a limited window each day to collect scrap, deliver it, make as much profit as possible while growing your space beetle. Every decision costs precious time... in case your profits count down too far, you get FIRED… into the Sun!?

I really like the mechanic of having to turn after picking something up to go faster. It made me want to always try to gogogo and that usually rewarded me but sometimes I'd run over one of my dudes oops. Super nice art too!

The game is so addictive! It's the kind of game where  you say'' one more round, '' and trust me it's never just one

I don't even know where to start with this one.
It's amazing how polished this feels! The tutorial was great.  Most actions have some form of visual/audio feedback.  Gameplay gets very satisfying. No idea how you managed to implement a minimap with the time you had XD.I did find a visual glitch after TAB to pause which zoomed in my camera. Apart from that, amazing....

A really cool game! I like the artwork a lot and the different types of gameplay and choices you had to make. Maybe not quite up my alley, but I can appreciate the effort and I'm sure other people really love it!

This is my favourite type of game and I REALLY enjoyed this one! I loved all the little layers of complexity, the running out of fuel, planning the resources and their positioning, the upgrade dynamics, the plasma tool being limited, the smashing of crewmates (RIP...), it really keeps the game engaging and fun! This complexity also makes it a bit challenging at the beggining to understand all the different elements, but tbh once you start to play for a bit everything makes sense and it is also fun to keep discovering! Overall, awesome game, huge kudos for all the creativity on the whole concept and its elements, the names, the mechanics, the super fun characters, the music, every detail is super cool! I enjoyed it A LOT and can't wait for the full release to keep playing :D

Wow! This is a really good game!

The game is really well polished, especially for a jam. It's a bit overwhelming at first but I really had alot of fun playing this !

Good job on this entry !

I thought it was going to be a tiny game with tiny characters and cents instead of gold coins (which is adorable, btw). Then came the expense graphs, different crewmate types, upgrade cards, and more. It just kept revealing more depth. Great game!

once I realized I kept squishing my employees the game got a lot easier, very polished, good job

The purge of the crewmembers! Thanks for playing!

The mechanics, graphics, and sound design are amazing and quite fleshed out for the jam only being four days long. the game is very complicated but the tutorial introduced everything very well. nice work!

Absolutely amazing entry, my favorite so far by a mile!

The art looks great, it is distinctive and has a lot of character. Yet stays readable all the time due to smart color contrasts. And the entire presentation is so polished!

Between the space theme and most of all the music, I am picking up some Ratchet & Clank inspirations, is that right?

The gameplay itself was confusing at first, but oddly mesmerizing. I spent a good while playing it and slowly starting to understand the mechanics and how they work together. I got so in to it that I forgot I should have walked the dog a half hour ago haha. So I'll go do that now and return later to play more.

Really, great work, really impressive especially given the time limit.
