Charming art! Now, it’s only a matter of time before the monkeys type Shakespeare.

A lot of room to make this into a full-fledged, publish ready game. Nice!

The artstyle is so peak. You absolutely nailed the OS look. 

There have been plenty of underrated games this jam in terms of art and design, but this one appealed to me the most. Not only do the visuals, art, and sounds combine into a really cool, cohesive game, but it also has a vague MS Paint style that fits the theme really well.

10/10, would install "helpful dog" and this Antivirus before downloading clicking the seventh flashing “DOWNLOAD” button on a sketchy website.

I left a comment earlier already, but I just wanted to say that the pixel art was so cute that I had to draw fanart of Wabi! Featuring my own game and the rabbit from New Year's Frenzy(Also play this game! Super cute), Wabi is late delivering some cheese:

There are over 141 comments at the time of writing this, so it'd be redundant to compliment the art now...
...but I'm going to do it anyway. The art is ADORABLE. Not only does this game scratch my "frantic mini-game itch", it also hit every bullseye in visual eye candy. Nothing more to say, except the game was so visually appealing, it motivated me to draw my own fan art featuring characters from my own game and Wabi Is Late(check out this game too!):

A simple, but effective submission that felt incredibly satisfying to play through. The game juice + SFX was the secret ingredient making each run feel very rewarding. The gameplay really *clicked* with me (pun intended)! Fun entry. I liked how you have to click to get through different menus as well, but it gets slightly tedious. Maybe lower the amount of clicks required?

My god, the artstyle is awesome. The little animations and dialogue add so much. Mario (mark) is getting a little violent though...

Anyway, a very enjoyable entry. I would have more to say, but it seems other people have already offered actionable and useful feedback. Just a fun, charming submission to kill the time with!

Very relatable experience, except I'm not the one doing the driving.

A simple, but fun game! Some more complex mechanics/obstacles would elevate this as a frantic arcade-style entry, but it's effective without too. 

Good job! please hurry to chem class next time.

An interesting puzzle game that has good polish and even better design. 
The artstyle is super cute, especially the skulls. The story is simple but effective.

The design is definitely the star of the show. Not only is it an interesting take on the theme, it also has various layers of complexity. I was surprised by just how much can be done using a simple mechanic. The puzzles were challenging but rewarding, and once you "beat" the game once there an additional objective that require a lot of planning and out-of-the-box thinking. The music and sound effects also contribute to an overall cohesive experience. 

Great entry that made me lose track of time. The developers did great, a criminally underrated submission. 

An incredible puzzle game, featuring the cutest pixel art in the entire jam and very clever game design! From the polish in both visuals and SFX to the attention to detail in game juice, the experience had a cohesive charming style and great game feel. I cannot emphasize how much I fell in love with the sprites of this game.

I did find a crash when I got a game over on level 7, but I understand there were troubles with the game build, it didn't impact the experience much!

Overall, what a criminally underrated entry. Challenging but satisfying gameplay, a great way to kill time. Would buy a full steam game. 

Could you elaborate?

Creative concept! Throwing the player right into a battle was a little overwhelming at first, but when you get the hang of it, there is depth to the strategy. Currently, spamming cards is a valid strategy to complete the game, but the core gameplay has a lot of potential. More balancing would help a lot, but overall this was some nice out of the box thinking and a really solid entry! I love the art too haha

This is a really polished and well designed puzzle platformer, no notes. Not only is it a creative take on the theme, it also has a very cohesive pixel art identity. I genuinely enjoyed this a lot, and could not help but keep playing. Although there were similar concepts in this jam, this is the one that stands out, not only because of quality but also because it manages to feel unique. Congrats, great entry!

Hilarious concept! A challenging and fun way to kill time. I must admit I think I suck at this game, but that doesn't change the fact this is a great entry

I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected! A fun and challenging submission. The opening "cutscene" is cool and the models are nice. It's a looser fit to the theme, and some controls were janky, but overall a fun experience. 

Very nice. Props to the dad for supporting his kids' dream! Keep making games, all of us are following your career with great interest. If you ever release a game on steam, consider me your first wishlist

The GMTK youtube channel has great design tips. I recommend checking them out, and you'll knock next year's game jam out of the park too!

What's the beef with Count Darius?? Seemed like a chill guy.

A surprisingly well polished and challenging puzzle game! I couldn't stop playing, I wanted to see how we would trip up the counts next. It's a...generous interpretation of theme, but I'm glad I got to play this.
I love the art for the introduction, as well as the various sprites. And the cover art?? The assassin has so much aura

The game juice is actually really well done. My expectations were surpassed by how good it felt to just...punch zombies!
One thing I would critique is the lack of more complex mechanics, but the polish is on point. The art has a distinctive style that fits the game juice and music. Nice entry! I suck at this game, unfortunately

A nice puzzle game with funny play on words. A more polished UI and a slightly stronger gameplay (perhaps with more interactions between puzzles) would go a long way, but overall a fun little entry. It took me an embarrassing amount of time to align all the puzzle pieces!

I love the art style! The pixel art is beyond cute. This is one of those games that is underrated because it doesn't have a web build. 

The core gameplay is fun and forces you to optimize. A good time-killer with satisfying feedback. Props to a creative solo dev!

It feels really nice to play, and that's one of the highest compliments for a movement based platformer. Spent of lot of time mastering the "S" button, but it was really satisfying when I got the hang of it. Huge props to a fun submission to pass the time with!

Oh god, this is so peak.

Itch.io warning aside, this game has everything: funny visuals, fitting music, culminating in a very fun experience. As an ace attorney enjoyer, this genuinely made me feel so nostalgic. Good job on a goofy and really enjoyable submission! No notes, amazing game. 

Peak! The art is so good. Don't worry about the layoff, your game has the best pixel art out of the games I've played so far!

A very cute and polished entry. It took me a while to figure out everything, but beating the game was really satisfying. I love the voice acting too! 

Bro, my mice are nothing compared to your rat. Hopefully they can come with on the space mission. 

Thank you, that flash game compliment is one of the best I've received so far. Great entry by you, too!

Thank you, good job on your first jam!

Thank you for the detailed feedback! To anyone reading this, check this guy's game out (Save your breath) it is such an underrated gem. It's absolutely worth the download

Bold of you to assume the Count pays him at all

Another incredibly underrated gem. Truly a standout in the narrative department. 

First off, the visuals. The game has incredible models, and the low resolution nature of the game makes the light sources in the dark all the more ominous. The juice and UI feel very cohesive with the game's style.  The atmosphere is creepy and charged, and contributes immensely to the narrative of the game. Environmental design is S tier, with mostly clear guidance for the next step and what to do.  This leads us to gameplay: As you explore this underwater facility and uncover more, you also have to keep a mental map and keep track of both oxygen usage and the tools available to you. While the movement was a bit awkward a first, solving puzzles and shooting enemies felt really good! Again, thanks to the polish and game juice. 
The storytelling is mostly not explicitly spelled out, but it's clear something horrible was discovered/made which culminates in a cosmic(?) horror narrative. 

The lack of music elevates the ambience sounds, and the UI is clear and functional.

I AM surprised the gun works that well under water! 

Overall, an incredible entry. A recourse management-puzzle game with a unique perspective of what it means to have a timer count down(Themed as oxygen). Would buy a full steam game in this style. 

Not having access to the forms you already counted down is such a unique concept, this has a lot of potential to be a really great puzzle game given enough polish! Overall a great entry, very fun to pass to the other side! (pun intended) 

The Mario Party mashing minigames as a baseline were already an interesting start, but you managed to make not only a visually appealing but also mechanically complex game in just 4 days. It reminded me of fighting games and Punch-Out!!, naturally, but not only does the "time" mechanic add urgency to the pace, it also turns the game into a very cohesive and satisfying experience when you manage to outplay the CPU. Overall, a polished and well-made game that I sank way too much time into.

I wish they invented immortality so I can live till year 20MOO to meat major Moo. 
Fun, whimsical little game. I LOVE the voice acting haha! The visual feedback is phenomenal. I can't find anything to critique, it does it's job perfectly. Great entry! A really fun game to kill time with. 

A simple game with a dystopian(?) undertone. Surprisingly strong in the narrative department. UI is simple but effective. I had fun, and even did a second run!

Cool and simple gameplay loop! Truly a relatable experience, sneaking out to fish sharks.

A nice and surprisingly cozy game to pass the time. The visuals are cute. A bit more polish on the UI would go a long way to bring this to the next level. Overall though, props to the devs! Gut gemacht!

Nice! Truly difficult to BEAD. A very creative take on the theme, and a great submission to pass the time with. Having browser build instead would be a big boost, but overall props to the devs!

Simple, but effective as a puzzle game. Game design on this is very clever! Satisfying and rewarding gameplay beats complicated visuals any day.

It's a shame your game was removed from the game jam, but this game is great! Simple, but effective. The visual feedback is good, and overall the game juice felt really polished. I couldn't really find any nitpicks. Best of luck next year! I hope you do well.

Haha! What a fun interpretation of the theme. I had trouble sleeping during the game jam, but this cured my insomnia instantly. 
Visual feedback is also nice overall. Fun submission to pass the time!

Simple, but works. I love the main menu and the option to "Don't Go", truly the best way to avoid dying. 
Some more polish in aspects such as UI and a more unique twist would have improved the game tons, but for a first game jam submission this is definitely great. Keep going!
