I think I suck at this game 'XD.  I got to a point where I didn't have currency to buy any locations, and I never had enough to upgrade my main town to make anything cheaper.  I couldn't advance the game anymore.  Is there an end turn button anywhere?  Is there another action to take?

The aesthetics are really cool and creepy with the eyeballs.  I think if I had a little more handholding, and maybe a few mechanics tweaks this could be a really satisfyingly simple resource management game.  Well done!

The lasso mechanic is fun but super hard for me XD.  Well done!

Really creative!  The different rooms were interesting and quirky.  The controls needed a little more work.  I wanted to be able to look down, and turn more than 360 degrees in one direction.

Well done on the game!

I liked the hand drawn art style and the mysterious writing was very intriguing.

I got to level 4.  From what I saw, I would have liked more challenge.  Maybe some tricky interactions between the buttons/doors.  Maybe constraints on what shapes the player can switch between (instead of changing freely).  I also didn't see any effect of rotating.

Well done on making a game!

Really cool art!  The alien feels lifelike with his blinking eyeballs.  I even like how he turns around when you change directions.  The lava, the frogs, and the boss are cool too!

Well done!

Great atmosphere... That was scary!  Good level design and the limited inventory space give it that Resident Evil 1 feeling.

For my game, I had a really similar idea with a flashlight that interacts strangely with stuff.  Comparing the two is a fun lesson in game design for me (I think yours is more fun :) ), so I thank you for that!

Great game, well done!

Great level design!  I think it fits the theme perfectly.  The Pi room is a very clever secret.  It's hard to find unless you've already played through the game and learned how the portals worked. It's also a very difficult room with lots of portals, so it makes sense that you'd want the player to master this skill before they find it!

I had a lot of fun playing.  Well done!

Stunning art style.  Great music.  Shooting feels so good with the juicy sfx and particles.  The enemy variety was good -- each enemy required a slightly different strategy from the player.  The boss got HARD but I managed to do it with the help of all the health drops :).  Well done!

The art, animation, music, and sound effects are fantastic!  The scenarios are all cute and funny.  Well done!

This is an intriguing idea!  I like the sound of the mechanics you were planning on adding.  I think some positive / negative interactions between store combinations would add a little more strategy.  I'm not sure if I cheated but it seemed like I just had to click "end day" a lot and I ended up with 10's of thousands of dollars.  But hey, that was a nice feeling too XD.

Well done!

Funny idea.  Eric's face while trying to stomp you is terrifying.

My two big feature requests would be (1) the ability to climb up vertical surfaces, or even upside down on the ceiling. (2) stealth mechanics so I could hide more effectively under the furniture from that freak, Eric.

Well done!

LOVE the concept! Really exciting idea you have here and good job on all the visuals. I did find the roots a bit glitchy to and got stuck quite a few times without the ability to make new roots so I could have used a reset level button. I would love to see some more advanced puzzles - I think this is a concept you could turn into something super fun!

Good job on the mechanics! The spaceship was really intuitive to fly around and felt really smooth. I liked the mechanic to use tab to switch the nav between the mission and the gas stations. The dialogue was a little distracting while the timer was going and I wasn't quite sure what completed the missions. Maybe the addition of an ability to collect once you get to a planet to have it feel more completed?

Great job on making a unique puzzle platforming! The game and controls were very interesting which made this game stand out from other platformers. I also appreciated the hand drawn assets!

Excellent game! This worked really smoothly and was an interesting resource management game. I loved the little dinos and building a massive dino army was so satisfying! I would love to play additional levels with more challenges. Great job! :)

Interesting concepts and great job on the art! I loved how visually distinct the villages were.

I would have liked the option to have an ingame note pad of sorts to keep track of what I purchased the items at and what places at certain goods/prices. It was a bit difficult especially paired with the language challenge.

I did figure that out! The dodge i frames were pretty generous but I still had trouble timing my dodges with that tornado. I just needed to get good haha. All the attacks were well telegraphed too. Maybe I'm just not used to playing those types of games without a console controller. 

Ooof this game is hard! Great job making some really challenging puzzles that were fun to play. I had to give up at 37 and I would love for a hint on that one. The 3D solve was sneaky.. I didn't think it was very intuitive but luckily I got there anyway after mashing my keeb.. XD

*Edit* okay I got past 37.. I think I just need to keep taking "mental health breaks" from these very difficult puzzles haha

This game was hard! Took me a long time to figure out not all words were in the translator haha.

Great job on the characters and art!!

This is really impressive for a week's work! You guys make a great team!

I really enjoyed this game and it was clear a lot of work and thought went into it. I appreciated the responsiveness of the enemies getting hit like their attacks being interrupted when I womp them and multiple animations. The special attack was fun and satisfying as well! This game had Kill la Kill vibes which I really enjoyed.

I did feel like the controls weren't responsive enough and my character felt really sluggish in her movements which made the first boss really frustrating. Especially with the tornado attack being SO much faster than I was felt impossible to dodge.

Overall though great job!

This is a really cool concept, and I think it fits the theme mechanically, which most other games haven't done -- they've been more focused on strange or wacky assets.

I did find it brutally difficult having only one life before resetting the game 'XD.

Well done on the game!

There's a lot of cool content here.  You have a lot of characters that can be put in the party with different abilities, a few different enemy types and random meteor effects.  All the sprites look good!

I think it needed a little more time to fully come together.  I think the gameplay experience would really benefit from some sound effects / cues, the ability to move in an L-shape instead of being restricted to a single direction, and the ability to pick up health/food without stopping on the square.

Well done making this game!

Interesting concept and fun game to play! The graphics were great and the intro was really helpful. The coins were a little frustrating to toss around and not be on top of each other but it was a really unique mechanism that I haven't seen before. Good job!

Really fun and addicting game! I played this for wayyy to long after beating the boss haha. That bandaid artifact is totally OP! Great job!

I was intrigued by the concept but I think I'm missing something.  I walked around a lot and pulled a lot of levers but I'm not sure what / where the puzzle is, let alone how to solve it 'XD.  It went over my head I guess.  Well done making a game!

Thank you!  I'm honored you played it for that long :)

The disco time was a last-minute addition that has received nothing but positive feedback so I'm glad I was able to get that in XD

I'm not sure what you mean about the timer. There should be a timer at the top of the screen that resets every time you start a new game.

Yeah I have the ghosts spawn randomly and unfortunately that means you can get swarmed and it feels a bit unfair.  DIsco time is one of the ways I hoped to make it feel more fair.  I didn't want to turn the spawn rate down too low or it would be boring.  I think I'd have to move aware from pure randomness to avoid the unfair swarming problem.

Thanks for playing!

The mechanics are very simple, but you take that a long way with the very deliberate level design.  Everything was well implemented.  Very cool to include a leaderboard!  The ability to vary the jump height felt good, and I think I even saw some Coyote time in there, which felt good too!  The visuals, sound effects, and premise are all fun and lighthearted.

Well done!

I think it fits the theme pretty well with the bunny hiding in strange places.  The path-finding for the player control was pretty good.  I would have liked to have a more zoomed-out view or a directional indicator or something to help me see where the bunny was.  The first time I wandered around the map and didn't see anything, and apparently the bunny escaped.  As a player I wasn't really sure what my strategy was supposed to be to increase the chances I cross paths with the bunny before it escapes.

Well done making this game!

Haha! It said something along the lines of legless like a spear? Maybe I read it wrong? 😅

Thank you!  I really tried to get the audio cues timed so the player would have enough time to react.

Glad you liked disco time!  It was something I added in the last hour before I submitted XD

Thanks for the feedback!  I've added a few strategy tips to the description page with the hope it helps people :)

There's a great variety of sprites for all the critters.  They all look really good!

I struggled a lot with the timing.  Maybe a little extra room for error would go a long way to helping the player make progress.

Well done!

The black and white sketch art style is really cool!  The character designs and medicines are so wacky!  Would love to see some kind of side effects if I give the wrong medicine.  Maybe the clients come back into the office with new symptoms and it gets a bit chaotic trying to manage them all.

Very creative and well executed.  Well done!

Such an interesting concept!  The storytelling was really good.  I like the book epilogues.  The time switching was well implemented.  I agree with others that the repeated sprites made it difficult to visually "parse" the level.

Super innovative, well done!

This was a weird one!  Intriguing writing.  I would have liked to see the room downstairs; I'm assuming it would help me unravel the mystery you've crafted.

Well done!

This is.... very strange!  The music, the eyeball void, the UFO -- you've chosen these dissonant elements that make it feel wacky and fun.  Well done!

Hey I also made a simple game where you kill ghosts but I took a lot longer to make it XD.

This is fun! I liked how the ghosts telegraph moves with their faces.  I assume I have to git gud to shoot-jump over the  big slidey ghost. I like the pause effect when you die and then you can jump right back into another round.

I think a few more tweaks would make it feel more fair.  It was hard to time my dodges and I wanted an ability to stand still while pointing my gun.

Well done!

Such great story telling! I panicked XD
