Hi iamata, 

Please accept my sincere apologies for the 4-year delay—life and work completely pulled me away from checking my Itch back then.

I just visited your profile to see if you ever finished your project, and I am blown away. Your Diner Dash game looks beautiful and plays so well!

I'm diving back into game dev now, so I'd love to connect!

Thanks for playing! 🤠 Working on making it playable on the web. Gonna make Genshin Impact for my next game jam HAHA~

Haha, guilty as charged! I absolutely love that style of game, so I wanted to try my hand at replicating the loop for this jam and putting a wild west skin on it. It was a massive learning experience for me. Thanks a ton for checking it out and swapping feedback!

You are an absolute legend! Thank you so much for sharing the solution video. Watching the proper way to solve Level 13 feels incredibly satisfying, and my brain can finally rest easy knowing I wasn't just losing my mind! 😂 Your level design is top-tier. Thanks again for the amazing support!

Wow, what a fantastic ninja game! You did an amazing job with the combat loop—the pacing is exciting, the controls are super smooth, and the hit sounds make taking down enemies feel incredibly satisfying. I do have a major confession though: my profound skill issue struck hard on Level 2! It's definitely pretty unforgiving since you only get 2 lives before being sent all the way back to the start. I got wrecked, but the sheer creative theme and execution are so impressive that I kept coming back anyway. Left a top rating! 
I am currently participating with my game, Cowboy Countdown. If you have a few minutes to spare before the voting window closes, I'd love to get your thoughts and feedback on my submission as well. Best of luck with the jam!

Thank you so much! I spent a ton of extra time getting the feel of that slide animation just right, so it absolutely makes my day that you noticed and enjoyed it! 🤠 Hearing that you wanted to push as far as possible is the ultimate compliment for a jam loop. Thanks a ton for the high praise and for playing!

Thank you! I really appreciate the honest feedback and the incredibly kind words. Jam windows are always a chaotic sprint, so I'm thrilled the overall polish and effort shined through anyway. Best of luck with your own entries!

Haha, thank you so much! Honestly, it was a wild, sleepless blur of coffee and coding and modeling, but I'm thrilled to hear you had a blast playing it! 🤠 Hearing that someone found it fun makes all those chaotic jam hours totally worth it. Thanks a ton for playing and leaving such a kind comment!

Incredible job on the art direction! The hand-drawn monsters look amazing in the 3D labyrinth, and the photo of the match hand gives it such a distinct aesthetic. The level design can get a bit frustrating when bad RNG spawns you right next to an enemy with no explosive barrels to save you, but the core mechanics easily earned a 5-star vibe from me.

Best of luck with the jam!

Wow, I am completely in love with this aesthetic! Turning simple black and white doodles into such an incredible-looking side-scroller is pure genius. It’s a bummer there’s no audio to match the action, but the gorgeous, unique visuals completely pulled me in anyway and grabbed a maximum rating. If you have some time between rating entries, I’d be honored if you could swing by my page and share some feedback on my game, Cowboy Countdown, too! Let's keep supporting each other!

Wow, you absolutely nailed the atmosphere here! The server and power rooms are so immersive. My brain did completely melt during the 'network diagnostics' puzzle, though—it was a brutal challenge to wrap my head around! 😂 Even with the steep difficulty spike, I loved the concept and dropped you a top rating. If you have some time between rating entries, I’d be honored if you could swing by my page and share some feedback on my game, Cowboy Countdown, too! Let's keep supporting each other!

Wow, the visual presentation here is absolutely stunning! The 2D top-down pixel art is gorgeous, and the music and sound design create such a deeply atmospheric, eerie darkness. I do have a small confession, though: my brain completely short-circuited and I got a bit lost trying to figure out what to do, so I had to step away for a bit! 😂 Even though I couldn't quite find my bearings, the aesthetic and audio polish are top-tier. Fantastic work on the atmosphere!

This is an absolute masterpiece of a 2D pixel art game! The cowboy animations are incredibly fluid, the aesthetic is gorgeous, and the entire experience feels so beautifully well-polished. Funnily enough, I actually made a jam game with the exact same title: Cowboy Countdown! If you ever get a spare moment between rating entries, I would be absolutely honored if you rode on over to check out my version too. Fantastic work on this, it's a huge favorite of mine so far!

The stickman animations are incredibly smooth and the movement feels amazing! However, I am suffering from a massive skill issue because those tight time limits absolutely wrecked me 😂. The level design is so punishingly fast that my slow hands just couldn't keep up! Fantastic art style and a brilliant challenge, even if it exposed my terrible reaction times!

This is a super addictive incremental loop! Launching the rocket is loads of fun. I did notice that if I accelerate too much, the rocket completely flies out of view of the camera. Also, when stockpiling a ton of fuel, the rocket just keeps flying for long periods with nothing to do. Adding a fast-forward button or some screen-space pointers might fix this. Fantastic concept!

The driving physics here feel incredible! Pulling off drifts and tricks feels super tight, snappy, and responsive. An absolute masterpiece of art direction. The vibrant visuals and cool car models make every single stunt look spectacular on screen!

Super fun game! Great concept, fantastic music, stunning visuals! The puzzle design is brilliant, but whew—Level 13 is a massive spike in difficulty! It felt almost impossible and definitely pushed my sanity to the absolute limit. A true test of patience!

Edit: would you be open to posting a quick video walkthrough of Level 13? I'd love to see the master at work!

The narrative premise here is incredible. It’s funny, original, and fits the jam constraints in such a clever, unexpected way. I love the book's angry personality!

Oh my goodness, the pixel art here is absolutely gorgeous! The tiny cat animations are incredibly fluid and adorable!

The aesthetic here is immaculate! Every single card frame, menu animation, and UI element is polished to perfection. Easily one of the best-looking games in the jam!

Taking the jam theme and turning it into a mind-bending puzzle constraint was pure genius. The rules are simple to learn but the depth is staggering!

Buttery smooth particle effects! Incredibly fun loop! Simple to learn, hard to master. I love the UI layout. Everything is super clean, easy to read! Left a well-deserved high rating!

I really enjoyed this entry! The concept is fantastic.

The visual style is stunning! Your color palette really makes the game pop! Super polished jam game. Great job!

Wow, the presentation here is top-tier. Super polished jam game. Great job

The core mechanic here is incredibly unique! It took me a few tries to get the timing down, but once it clicked, the loop felt deeply satisfying. Brilliant interpretation of the jam theme! UI animations are smooth! The music and sound design also fantastic! Overall, amazing job!

Incredibly fun loop! Simple to learn, hard to master. Left a well-deserved high rating!

Awesome work! Beautiful artwork!

Enjoyed creating monsters from scratch!

Had a great time shooting!

Had a lot of fun drifting!

The visual presentation here is absolutely breathtaking—incredible artwork all around! I love the tense concept of counting down and having to perfectly time your repositions to dodge the incoming bullets. It was definitely a bit confusing to wrap my head around at first, but once the timing clicked, the gameplay loop felt super rewarding and intense. Left you a well-deserved top rating! Thanks so much for stopping by my page to check out Cowboy Countdown as well, I really appreciate the mutual support! 🤠

Really fun to play!

Really enjoyed it! Amazing work!

Thanks!

Thank you!
