itch.io

For what it’s worth I think it’s a marvellous if unexpected idea for a game, given the theme we were given. The next time I’m brainstorming ideas during a game jam I’ll think of this game’s idea as a role model for creative ideation :)

I enjoyed the stone tossing and the art style is great. The timing and zoom on the faces on the final animation also sold the humor. :)

I like the medieval art style and the spinning kitties. The gameplay was also pretty fun :)

A pretty neat novel take on climbing. Challenging but enjoyable :)

For a 4 hour game it’s a nice Getting Over It take :)

Extremely adorable. I love the art and the voiceacted cat. The mechanics, while simple, actually lend themselves quite well to trying to speedrun the game when you chain jumps and aim for the pancakes. :)

I enjoyed the visuals, but I suck at these kinds of puzzles. It’s an interesting take to make the current value of the knobs change how much you deplete the time limit.

Really interesting take on the theme. I’d love to hear the thought process that led you to making a game about Hannibal being annoyed at paperwork, that’s very original. The stamping mechanic felt very satisfying too. Are there multiple endings? I could only get one, but maybe it’s just a skill issue on my part. :)

I’m unsure if the spilled water and overstacking of items actually did anything. I tried to lose on purpose, but didn’t quite manage it. Stacking 20 b’o’ o’ wo’a on my shopping cart somehow made the whole stack more stable.

Only after I got distracted and vacuumed everything up I remember that there is an actual objective. Very nice chill cozy game with some small puzzle solving. I also like the 3D environments you’ve made :)

Love me a good Lemmings-like and guiding the excessive amount of pengwengs is very fun. :)

I’ve seen the concept done a few times before, but here it’s implemented very well. Enjyoable :)

It’s very enjoyable to try to optimize and find the synergies in a limited time. And managing to make a proper tutorial during a gamejam is a feat of its own :D

Thank you. Unfortunately, we left balancing at the last second and the numbers are way off for some of them :( We’ll fix it in a post-jam patch after the voting period.

I did it! Wahoo! Simple concept which isn’t all that original, but it’s executed well. I love the handmade sound effects. The puzzles were pretty engaging. I was a bit surprised that some jumps actually required you to use coyote time as it is usually more of a feature to make jumps more forgiving. But once I got used to it it was actually a neat mechanic by itself.

The most cats I’ve ever carted. Fun game. I like how the gameplay guides you towards making loops while at the same time forcing you to adapt to the changing environment so it can’t just be the same loop over and over again. The golden tickekets suffer from lack of contrast a little, but that’s a minor nitpick. At first I thought it’d be annoying if multiple tickets pile up on top of another and you can’t see them, but then I realized that it basically does not matter and the mess adds to the experience. I also enjoy the skid marks, little effects like that are neat :)

Very cute. I love me a good incremental game and this one seems well polished. I like how the tile system ties into multiple things (unlocking upgrades, adjacency bonuses, tiles with modifiers on them). I finished the game after just one loop and I kind of missed out on some of the later upgrades, but it was still enjoyable. If the game was longer I’d be playing it even now :)

Thanks :)

Thanks. The text is basically a placeholder we had no time to change. I was imagining a more visual indicator (a coiled worm displayed in screen corner with its length representing your remaining length). Sadly we ran out of time. Serves is right for only reserving 48 hours for the jam.

Thank you <3

Ah, I tried placing him onto the two box button, but that didn’t work and also what would I do with two boxes…

I’ll have to try it again tomorrow and see what else is there to find.

Very cute and fun. I like the seamlessness of going from a puzzle to a puzzle on the planet. And also nice attention to detail with how buttons seem to center a box dropped onto them. I grabbed the elephant and took them for a walk around the planet a bunch of times. I think I’m missing something obvious there, but at least the elephant got to see the whole world.

A simple game, but for some reason I found it strangely engaging. The core gameplay loop (pun not intended) is fun. I like how you just keep quickly getting back into action.

Thanks. The stars actually are in 3D space - the whole game is 3D (rendering-wise, not gameplay-wise), just kinda very subtly. I feel like we could have leaned into that a bit more, but we were not sure how. We tried experimenting with a camera that tilts a little but that made it less clear if you were encircling a star or not since the gameplay itself is 2D. Even the worm itself is 3D (with a dynamically generated ArrayMesh). See here for an early visualization of it:

Unfortunately we did not have enough time to include a tutorial / hints of some sort. So currently it is all just in the game’s description, which is less than ideal. The star color marks which civilization is controlling the star (think Stellaris if you played that).

Extremely adorable and also surprisingly fun. The art style and just the overall aesthetics is great. Huge props for something this well looking being your first game.

I expected more of this style of time loop puzzle gameplay in this game. It’s not a new concept, but it’s executed well. I like how snappy it is. I can just spam a bunch of copies of myself and it all works nicely. It feels a bit counterintuitive that your body ends up levitating in the air after the end of the part of the loop where you lived, but I guess it is a crucial game mechanic.

Really enjoyable puzzles and lovely art style. I finished all the levels and I like that I had to do some non-trivial puzzle solving. :) The buttons could use some audio feedback when you press them.

Also you might want to disable the itch.io built-in fullscreen button, it overlaps with Unity’s fullscreen button and does not work for your game specifically. I’m pretty sure you can do this even mid-jam in project settings.

Thanks. Yeah, we ran into some lag in the web build too, but we only discovered it at the very end. If we do a postmortem release I’ll try optimizing the shader and maybe reducing the worm segment count in segments that are further from the tip.

Fun game. Neat visuals and I like the lil rover guy. It took me a while to figure out the objectives, but also just plain ol’ jumping and driving around the planet surface is neat.

Very enjoyable art style and sounds. The animation of the astronaut rotating when you power up is especially cute. The gameplay itself is ok if a bit repetitive. But it’s nice that you sometimes have to enter a loop, wait for it to rotate and then exit on the other side. I actually like the controls. Plenty of games set in no gravity / no atmosphere do not do the angular momentum movement, but I appreciate that you did that.

Reasonably enjoyable. The impact / losing health could use a slightly better visual and auditory feedback. Hearing a different sound when smashing into a big asteroid would make it clearer that those lose you more health.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the worm’s trail. It’s not perfect, but I’m also very happy with how it turned out in the end.

The win condition was one of the last things we made and if we had more time I’d at the very least add statistics on the game over screen. Probably number of stars destroyed and total length you managed to gather. Currently the win / lose is too binary, I agree

We actually wanted to add a better visual HUD element and some cues (screen darkening etc.) for running out of length, but instead it was us who ran out of time. Sadly currently the only place where remaining length is communicated is the text at the bottom of the screen, which is far from ideal.

Thanks for enjoying the game <3

Amazing visuals, audio and just overall feel. Tying the phases of the game into breathing in and out fits so well.

Also kudos for making it touchscreen friendly.

Beans with fear and tears. My favourite kind of soup 😋

Fun game :)

One of our brainstorming ideas was very similar to this hehe.

Well made and enjoyable, I had fun. Minor nitpicks: I do wish the simulation phase was a bit faster. It took me a while to figure out that I need to click the hamburger menu button to go back after finishing a level. It also took me a while to realize that I can move all non-asteroid bodies and not just the main planet.

Enjoyable audio and polished visuals. I like the base idea of the gameplay, but currently it feels like there’s always an obviously correct choice of numbers. I think if the unchosen numbers were left in your “inventory” it could add more decision making.

Yep, that part does come across! I was just wondering about the triangle constellation.

Very enjoyable. I like the take on the classic snake where the apples are just means to an end.

The gameplay was not the most engaging thing ever. However, the visuals and the sound design and just the general vibe are absolutely stunning. I might straight up make a screenshot of the ending sequence into my desktop background.

Is it intentional that after the game ends and the title screen reappears you can no longer complete the triangle constellation on it? It would make narrative sense, but I’m not sure if you intended it or not.
