Took me a while to figure out the goal, I mean, who would've thought I was a burger defending the ingredients from the evil salads?? XD

This was a pretty fun ride, though a little repetitive (I figured you could cheese almost every stage by staying at the bottom and shooting up. Sorry!) Before I cheesed it, it was really cool to balance out your table and floor time to get around the kitchen (especially since you can only kill germs while on the floor yourself).

I stopped at the end of round 7.  I think it'd be more challenging if you had only one ingredient on each table to protect, or if they didn't regenerate between rounds. But it wasn't non-challenging either! I did die a bunch of times while learning the ropes :v

Boss jumpscare!! Both your timer, ammo and health being tied to one meter is really cool. Though is it worth it for this guy to escape with $8?? I jest, this is a really cool concept for balancing danger and income (you could avoid the cops, but you'll lose out on some time gain... Pretty clever!)

Adorable! Impressive that you made multiple minigames at such a short time. They're pretty cool, though I wish there was a faster mode (maybe I'm just a rhythm heaven addict though lol)

The minigames progressing through the baking stages of a cake is pretty clever, as well :>

It's a fun concept to have an interactive, explorable main menu ^^

It's neat you don't reliably know where the ship is, you got to look around a bit (though my very first run it was right in front of me, haha). 

Are the meteorites making dynamic craters? I couldn't really tell as I was paying attention to not getting hit by one, (got a couple close calls!) and finding the spaceship. If so, that's really cool to have figured out for a first project and at a such a short time :3

It's really fun figuring out your way through the map, especially in the hard mode. It's fun to juggle resources between the mushrooms and your travel distance. I got sweating by the end, where I was 50 units away from my last package, but I decided to warp to a random star... I got 100 units away with 20 fuel and 20 crystals T_T. I still won thanks to a string of froggies and a well placed merchant, i got just enough to reach the end.

The art is also soo cute. If anything i'd just wish for a bit more detailed map/game area, though the symbols are just clear enough as is.

Stellar art, I love that you've made technically 4 games in one (including split screen modes)! The music is awesome too, though the hit notes sounded dissonant with it. They have a cool vibe, but maybe they could've been auto tuned to the song somehow?

The general vibe is of a final boss battle, I'd love to see how a "full game" of this could look like. The notes were also yummily responsive, though I had a bit of a hard time figuring when to hit them for perfects ^^'

So cute; gives me Vampire Survivors vibes. I just wish there were more (or clearly set) items/upgrades to play around with. Also, being able to attack in only the direction you're facing means I'll round up slimes and only turn around once to kill them all at once :P

The art is so cool! Painterly backgrounds mixed with some pixelated effects (and the fully pixel character :v

Riding the wave is pretty funny. You can move as far down as you can without losing, then shoot into the stratosphere. I got to a point where even the music fades out multiple times XD

Based off your inspiration, the game's just missing challenges or obstacles. Riding the wave periodically, rather than just shooting yourself up, is pretty pointless. Gotta have some stuff to dodge :>

I couldn't quite understand how to move my game forwards, so I kept dying. But the concept is pretty unique and really cool! Not being able to know where your enemies are at all, and needing to echolocate them is really cool. Also the "stealth" idea to turn off your engine to be less noisy. My only issues with the game was understanding what were enemies or what were their torpedos/attacks, and if I could hit them at all.

I really dig the nes-adjacent aesthetic (sprites + black background), and the look of the enemies remind me of analog horror somewhat! I couldn't figure out how to shoot too well. With the parrot and urchins, as well as screen shakes on every life lost (especially from the fish/skulls), it made it pretty hard to both shoot and dodge things. But overall it's a fun game and concept!

So cute! I really love the concept of attacking and dashing in rhythm. Although, I didn't see it much in effect for attacks. Maybe I just didn't notice? The music is pretty cool, and I like the way the upgrade system was made - and also not making the base attack obsolete. I think, however, the difficulty is quite uneven; you're killed easily if you try to get close enough to shoot at enemies, except if you "kite" around them or get just to the edge of their aggro range, which helped me kill the bosses (also funny transformation on the 2nd one XD was that the last one? I couldn't do anything after killing it)

Fun artstyle and noises XD
I like the steampunk buggies. Nice that you got to make a bunch :D

The mouse controls are cool, but better suited for mobile. At one point I got stuck in the corner because the jam buttons were on front (managed to get out by scrolling)

Difficult in the good way (makes you want to keep playing, doesn't make you think the game is unfair). Loved the low poly style, I think the only issue I found was the FPS dropping a little on the Web version which caused my revolver tempo to be off. I didn't see the download version until after playing T-T

Impressive spritework! Loved the music, theme and designs, too. The idea for the "wheel of (mis)fortune" is pretty novel, but here it was either making the boss fights nearly impossible or achievable, while not really augmenting gameplay :')

I didn't get to finish the game because it crashed when trying to respin the wheel on the final boss, and the previous two were too brutal (not a negative on the game), but what I saw so far was really great.

I absolutely love the art and music on this game. Unfortunately, I didn't get to finish it out of frustration. The orbital change mechanic is unique and interesting, but not reliable to actually move and dodge the planets' projectiles, and it seemed to more often degrade yourself (getting too far your projectiles disappear). The teleportation mechanic was a must to survive (but conceptually and mechanically it's pretty great), and the alt fire attack never really seemed to do damage...?

Overall, this is a really cool take on a space shooter, and you incorporated the themes really well. My only real negative was the movement :')

This was a lovely little game! It has vibes of a saturday morning cartoon, haha. I feel like the planet rotation controls should have been on A/D instead of arrow keys, so you can free up the right hand to use the mouse to aim the bomb. The style and presentation of the game makes everything seem really small and cute X)

My only real complaint is that you didn't get to add more than one boss to fit the jam's main theme (you matched the Spin theme well). But what's presented here is great! Cute and cool stuff.

I loved the idea, plus I'm a space nerd so it's right up my alley :P
The game controls a little hard, though. It's all about predicting positions, and that's pretty hard on a circle. It works wonderfully, just a little hard to grasp :')
A random last bit, the boss' second phase attack is easier (and more fun!) to dodge than the first phase's.

Beautiful art, great music, I loved the bosses and how they're technically puns X) The attack key is in an uncomfortable position, but in the end I could pretty much cheese the game by spamming the attack key on one hand and constantly spinning the key on another. I did try playing it for reals, but the attack key's position made it really hard to attack and survive, I'd have to sacrifice either movement or healing by replacing hands.

Really loved the music and theming!! Also the character designs, you did so much with so little (circles, pixel art and 1 bit palette - which I also loved)

It took me a moment to understand you could fly with double jump. Only then I found out how to actually damage the bosses, but then with the large arenas they became too easy to cheese...

If you push this forwards, I'd recommend looking at Kirby and Metroid boss design. I think the theme has potential!

Music and sound design are spectacular. They set up the vibe perfectly! With the UI design and the simple buildings and people, the style feels candid! It could be developed further with shaders and some light texture (enough so it's not flat, not so much to lose the simple style).
I immediately felt the lack of in-game instructions. It took me a bit to figure out what was happening in-game and what was the goal, but once I did, I fell in love with the idea. Would love to see it developed with some sort of small story! It was immediately clear it was a building/tycoon game, though.
I jumped in blind, and the lack of instructions also made me not figure out you could move the camera or rotate objects ^^'
I didn't feel like the cards/events did anything. Also didn't see any friction to keep the money up; I could just keep placing stuff and watch as people came and smiled. That's not to mean this wasn't fun, though. It was really pacifying.
Last thing I felt lacking was no grid system to snap and attach objects to maximize space. However, it could also be taken in the opposite direction and let any orientation of objects, allowing full customization of your convention.

Vibes are spectacular, art is great, but there are many little anti-QoL things that bring the experience down : /
This includes the bugs, but also the attack stopping you, the camera lagging behind you, and the floaty/way too fast character controls.
The intro section is also annoying - the text is too fast the first time through, and lingers for way too long afterwards. Later on, that's just me being stupid, but it took me a while to figure out I should attack the door on the floor to progress.
The layout of the levels has no direction, though that makes it feel quite interesting in a sense of being lost (positively). I'd say to make the layouts and individual rooms more memorable, and/or give a map, at least a simple square grid one.
I gave up when I got to the castle area, after the double jump, and fell out of the level's bounds. A quick restart button would've been nice here

6/10, excluding the bugs 8/10. Looking forward to a full release!

Edit: Forgot to mention, music is also really nice, and enemies look interesting but are hard to attack with just 3 whip directions. Then again, I never played the original castlevanias. That's probably me being bad at playing :p

Enemies were functional but broke down in the shipping build, we were already on our extension fixing other bugs and couldn't see it until it was too late :(

The tower was hard to guess as I feared... The brighter areas were supposed to be platforms/landable in general, but yeah, I prioritized the looks there.

Next time, for sure we're gonna use really specific assets for platforms and traversable space.

Hey there, thank you so much for (trying to) play our game!

Yeah, we went in with a lot of ambition, and in the end we didn't have time to fix these errors (even with an extension!!)...

There's no mac version, sorry. We had no idea about these additional installs, nor about the performance; unreal engine games are quite demanding and we don't have much experience with smoothing things over for players nor about performance :(

It was a splash of cold water for us to realize how demanding a game is to make it good for the user's end, and not just having it working in our devices. Your immediate feedback is really valuable - we wouldn't know if the tutorials are good at their job or if the map's flow made sense at the eyes of someone else. Thanks again!

very cute, cool puzzles! Also I don't feel like what I made here was the intended solution XD

hah, called it! Graphics are phenomenal, music creates the perfect atmosphere, and gameplay is pretty cool. However, I must say, it was a letdown that the enemies claimed "I killed many of them" when I went full pacifist.
The only issue I found is the camera; it moves too fast, with the robot; it's quite disorienting.

Art looks very good and unique, gameplay isn't much engaging as almost all encounters are solved by rotating counter clockwise (in fact, the one time I rotated clockwise I lost a life). Hope I can see more in this artstyle!

Very serene! Dangers weren't immediately clear, it was fun swimming around for a while.

Ha ha, didn't expect that! VERY creative. Really enjoyable as well! This seems like straight out of the "Out of Control" game jam XD
My only criticism would be that it's a bit finicky switching between control commands, it should be easier somehow.

Wow, it looks amazing!
The way you switch characters is pretty interesting, didn't expect that.
The (I assume?) 3D assets blend seamlessly with the 2D! What a great shader and geometry XD
Also loving the character design :]
As some people pointed out, it's not possible to retry on Web without a refresh. Also it gets choppy sometimes.

This was very, very fun! I love the buildings destroying surrounding slots, though that really could've used some overlay to demonstrate the area.
The skyscrapers should also have some control to where they fall. Most buildings could use a hit less, I feel.
It wasn't very clear that the sea rising was also bad for you; I realised only halfway through a session that like, if you had 3 land tiles, a single house would occupy 33%! I lost with a score of 19835.
If you plan to continue this project, consider more area destructions from other building types (Cross? Only diagonals?) and more terrain interactions!

Very zen, though the role reversal aspect feels weak. It'd be nice if we could watch an AI build stuff on the tiles we made, somehow. The map building aspect is very fun, I can imagine myself playing it for hours XD

Very cute sounds, interesting idea, loved how the kid shows up like a kaiju XD
It's a bit monotonous though, and there really should've been something to clear excrement. At the end I had many unscalable towers of poo on my screen, making it hard to see.

Very fun! The different abilities are pretty interesting, and build up really well on the gameplay concept. Music is great, art looks cool. I only felt was missing was an in-game tutorial, and the archer wasn't very obvious on how to use. Coolest idea is that you can color boxes as well, giving them the characteristics of each ghost!

Interesting concept! It didn't feel like I did anything to the heroes outside of the murder dome, though. Spikes and acid didn't make a thing to them.
I hope for an update with a wider build palette, and with some AI behavior for the heroes (avoid spikes, go for treasure?)
A camera zoom (zoom out) and sounds felt missing

I couldn't really understand the objective. The concept is nice, but in execution, it needs more tools for the player. It was really nice watching the survivors do their thing, though.

The vibes are spectacular. As someone who can't read the language, however, I could not know what was really going on, nor how the game fits the theme.
The 1-bit artstyle looks really good, and the music and sounds are really atmospheric. The "touch to see"(?) idea is very novel for this genre, though I'd tweak it so it's clearer where do you really "feel" an object (the yellow overlay).

Very interesting concept! I couldn't actually manage to get very far because characters would often move off of switches or get stuck, and sometimes switching characters caused them to kill themselves?

Art direction is pretty interesting, though the level was a bit dark. Sound/music was pretty great!

I'd suggest actually removing the concept of enemies that kill your currently controlled character, so they won't chase each other and it wouldn't be unclear if someone is out of range of someone else.

The game suffers a lot from a lack of sound. The main mechanic was not entirely clear, and some things (especially thieves) seem very easy to miss.
However, the concept is very fun! The world is also pretty interesting, despite being a flat plane. Great prop placement!
My main issues were controls and camera; the camera being locked behind the player worsens the "easy to miss" problem, and also it was hard to see within the forest.
The tank controls could be fine if there was a backwards key; there is also an error that causes rotation to move the character sideways.
The idea has potential!

Really unique take on the theme! I'd say the only thing lacking is levels - every X score a new layout? But what's here is great.
Art is very charming, sounds are pretty fitting!
My score: 5750 (max combo 30)

Art and sound are amazing! Though the brewer's humming gets a little repetitive.
Despite the instructions, it took me a while to truly understand how the game's logic goes. I only understood by puzzle 3 that some ingredients (given X conditions) won't do a reaction! But once I did, the game was very enjoyable and had great puzzles.
Amazing game, I look forward to what more can be done with it; other levels! The only real issues are what's already on the plans (retry/undo, an ending)
