Really smart idea, juggling a whole crew when you can only touch one at a time makes for great puzzles. The level design gets clever fast, and a level editor in a jam is mad. Great entry!

Didn't expect to enjoy clicking a button this much, the writing carries it and the interruptions are properly funny. My finger is knackered. Nice one!

The movement in this feels superb, tight and responsive, and the ledge grab is a lovely touch. Level design in the later stages is really smart. Short but very sweet. Nice work!

Wonderfully stressful. Something very funny about the ship launching with half of it still on the pad. Ship designs are great too. Difficulty does spike hard after the second one. Good stuff!

Gorgeous. The art is unreal for four days and the music is properly catchy, big Rhythm Heaven energy. Only shout is the big mushrooms blocking the view a bit in the later levels. Loved it.

Really clever this, reverse 2048 by way of pool is such a good idea and it plays great. Lovely art too, and the grandma cat framing made me smile. Would love a leaderboard for cuts remaining. Superb entry!

I did not expect peeling potatoes to be this moreish. The PSX look is spot on and the peeling itself feels lovely. Only snag was potatoes falling under the bench where I couldn't grab them. Brilliant, silly, polished.

Slingshotting between planets is a great idea and it looks the part too. Found it pretty tough though, a bit of air control or a clearer indicator of the danger closing in would help a lot. Nice concept!

Lost way more time to this than I planned. The 1-bit art is lovely and the UI is properly clean, all the little hover and menu animations really add up. Watching the rockets overlap near the end is great. Nice one!

Odd little thing in a good way, the writing got a chuckle out of me. Controls are nice and simple to pick up too. Nice one!

Ha, this is chaos in the best way. Something very satisfying about frantically closing popups, and the minigame variety keeps it fresh. Gets stressful fast. Really polished, great stuff!

Clever twist on sokoban, having each chest count down as you push it makes you think several moves ahead. Some really satisfying levels in here. Would love the blocks to slide a bit quicker. Nice one!

This is something else. Gorgeous art, lovely sound, and a genuinely clever take on the theme that had me stepping away from the screen. Hard to believe it's solo. One of the best things I've played this jam.

The art style is gorgeous and the sound design really lifts it. Combat feels good too. Properly tough, and hiding the timer is a bold call but I think it works. Impressive amount of game for a jam!

Really nice atmosphere, proper old school horror vibes and the sound sells it. The finger health thing is a great idea. Floor 3 did jump up in difficulty quite a bit though. Good work!

thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it 

thank you for your feedback, I am already working on the game for improving and I have added a camera toggle for top-down view too. I be adding more levels and bosses including daily and weekly challenges. 

haha nice, im glad you enjoyed. 

thank you so much for playing, I already have done loads of improvement on this game and after the Jam it will be out (or I might go on steam not sure yet) 

thank you, well Yh there are loads of improvements coming after the jam 

thank you so much for your feedback.

The art on this is stunning, and the decaying combo counter makes every turn feel tense. Managed to heal an enemy by accident more than once, so targeting could be a touch clearer, but that's me being picky. One of my favourites this jam!

Properly cozy this. The sound design is doing a lot of heavy lifting, the chopping and harvesting sounds are great. Hard to believe it's your first jam entry! A speed up button would be handy but that's a small thing. Lovely work.

Ha, alright, you got me. Cheeky.

Cute little platformer, the pixel art is lovely and it's nice and tight to play. Found myself just legging it past most of the timers though, might be worth making them harder to ignore. Good stuff!

thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

thank you for playing and rating, I enjoyed playing your game too.

thank you

thank you, most likely i will be looking into continuing this after the jam

thank you for your feedback, I will definitely be looking into those if I decide im taking this game further,

Nice idea tying the enemy countdowns to the beat, and the art looks great. I did struggle to hit the timing at first, and a volume slider would help as it's a bit loud out of the gate. Good start though!

This is lovely. The art and soundtrack are superb and the puzzles genuinely made me stop and think. The crab's little error animation is great too. Really impressive stuff!

Ha, this made me laugh. Poor toilet-san. Cute art and the sound effects really sell it. Only wish there was more of it honestly. Great little entry!

Lovely idea, and using chess pieces as the enemies works really well on a grid. The tiles crumbling away looks great too. Movement felt a touch slow to me, especially on the longer levels. Nice work!

The art is gorgeous, properly moody. The clash mechanic is a nice twist on turn based combat too. Only shout is easing the player in a bit more, took me a few fights to click. Really impressive stuff!

This is such a good premise, and you nailed the vibe of being a kid left alone with a microwave. Everything looks and sounds brilliant. Genuinely one of my favourites so far.

Right, I did not mean to play this for as long as I did. Dead simple and completely moreish, and the coin sounds are lovely. Ending's a bit quiet after all that build up, but honestly a great one.

Loads of content for a jam game, and the durability countdown makes you actually think about your items. Took me a bit to work out what some of the effects did though, could use a little more explaining. Good stuff!

Good fun, juggling attacking and cleaning is a nice bit of tension. My hand did start complaining after a while though, maybe a hold to attack option would help. Looks great, nice work!

thank you, im already thinking and doing some research for steam, I like the idea myself a lot but this is heavy and requires custom chess engine as we not playing normal chess here :D
