Nice and really polished game, it feels good to play. I like the art and sound design. Some tutorial would help though, because I was to confused what to do, it was too overwhelming to learn everything at once. But I get it, that it's only 48 hours game and there isn't always time for everything to do.

Shadow of ConscienceWow! very impressive what you were able to make in 48 hours! I was a little confused by the mechanics and it felt like a lot was going on at once. I was blown away by the art and the gameplay detail! great work!

Turn the TideReally great game! It's funny because you always have to keep in mind in which room there's the creature you need! Great graphics, sound effects and the song too! Congratulations!

ReflectionClean presentation as usual. The balancing did feel a bit off. Once you memorize which creature produces what it isn't too bad but still having the chase down and shoot all enemies in an area before picking up what you want to leave was kind of a hassle that felt unnecessary. I did appreciate the use of simple controls and utilizing the KISS principle of utilizing the mouse buttons to do majority of the interactions.

Enemy FusionWow, probably the most amazing cooking game I've ever played. Really nice graphics, complex gameplay and brilliant mechanics. Great job!

Defying InstinctsI watched the devlog and had to play the game, overall really cool, nice job : )

Life Of SlimeThere's a weird transition on the way to the pantry but other than that it's great.

The Fox and Her ShadowFunny game, I like the overcooked vibes. The monster chase adds some fresh idea, it could be a really interesting to push the concept a bit further. That's a nice amount of job there! Congratz!

Sun EscapeThis feels like a short demo for a full game most of the time due to all the polish and general loop! I really loved the art, the concept, and the simple yet deep design :)
I really hope y'all continue this post-jam since it feels you two really know what you're doing with this one and have a great opportunity to keep going and turn this into a full mid-length release with tons of wacky mechanics and fun opportunities throughout. Perhaps leveling to get more exciting abilities, feeding frenzies where you have to dodge hungry monsters as you continue to do your job, etc. So much to explore here!
Great job to both of you!

C.O.M.P.R.E.S.S.I.O.N.Very fun to play, this could be very fun with some expansion. But I understand that you had limited time due to it being a game jam. Overall a very fun game!

Together ForeverIt takes a little bit of figuring out due to Vimlark needing to scrap / redo the tutorial, but once you get a feel for it (after a couple deaths) it's quite a bit of fun! If you'd like to hear more about the game's development, check out my interview with Vimlark;

AllocateReally awesome! I'm very impressed by what you guys accomplished. Looks great and feels great to play.

Fallen AngelReally fun n' funny game! I was already expecting this quality of Vimlark - not surprised at all!
By the way, the art is just really juicy. I love simple but telling pixel art styles with well thought color palettes!
The only thing that I have to mention is that the idea and the theme's implementation was... Too weak? I mean, I get that your health is "joined together" with your demon waifu and all but... I was expecting something more joined with the gameplay itself, because this just feels like a "more complicated game over timer". Instead of just baking one ingredient, maybe you could join two or more together to deliver a more interesting combination? That would make things more challenging and would fit the theme more. Nevertheless, amazing game!
ALSO, I don't actually know if you read these comments, but thanks for featuring Sneeze Hell in your video about Game Jam Formats! I felt really realized when I got featured in your channel! Thank ya!
