Nice, simple and fun. Interesting use of space with the score being the background, BTW.

Did you work in a team?
This is a solo game
Was the resolution a challenge?
Creating small sprites is always a challenge. I kept it as simple as I could.
What did you learn?
My focus was on the kicking mechanic because I have a bigger game in mind that will use something similar. I learned a lot in the process, trying to keep things fun without becoming too challenging.

It took me a moment to get how it showed the score as I was just focused on the skull, but I liked the approach of making that the background.

4 x 4 SlideA simple concept, well executed. I did feel I could go infinite by tapping lightly against a wall.

Robo-Showdown!This reminded me a lot of California Games (the footbag minigame). Fun to play and very funny game, I like that the score is shown on the background, nice way to save space.
Good job!

AquaSurvivorNice use of the small screen! I like everything from the visuals to the animated logo to the BG. I believe the minimalism very well here and can't think in anything I would recommend to change.
:) very good job!!!!

Le Chat Fonce: Gnome CafeI think this is the funniest game I have played considering the submissions of this game jam so far!
I'm amazed how a simple idea turned out to be a funny-as-hell game. It definitely is addicting, and even though it lacks certain polish elements, it feels great to play the game. Sound design is also awesome, and I adore what you did with the animations in a simple but effective way!
Solid entry, loved what you did there, well done!

OVERKILLSo good! my best score for now is 40 \o/ but after seeing someone got over 100 I have to try it a bit more ^^ those short sharp hip-ups are the strat ;) really good game, and amazing audio!

Slug In HeatThanks a lot! Really appreciate the kind words.
I managed to score over 500 but that was after an awful lot of playtesting. If you manage to score over 100, you are doing great. My strategy is to try to get high, straight shots by hitting the skull near the end of the leg and timing it so that the leg is close to horizontal at the moment of collision. It takes more practice but it gets you a more predictable arc and more time to reposition Uppy (I've just decided that's their name).
Good game concept, but it would be better to add the opportunity of loss. I'd also appreciate some difficulties or levels.

Line: The First 1D GameConsistent pixel art style with very few colors that fits the quirky undead theme :) Sound and music also fit well
Simple but fun mechanics that need a bit of training to master…
Good very simple but complete game - Great job :)

Sludge 'n CinderThat was great! and this would work really well on a phone it think, overall really fun.

Here They AreGood fun! Takes me back to playing the hackysack minigame from California Games on the NES! This would make a good mobile game for sure. I also like how you incorporated the score into the background.
