Such a stylish and creative application of the theme, very cool and subversive. I am absolutely hopeless at gauging ratios so didn't manage to get super far, but I enjoyed what I saw! 😊
A really polished game! I love the sprites and the use of water as a timer, that made it very frenetic. Runs really smoothly too and the Caribbean music was great. Slight note that there's a few different spellings of Caribbean going on 😅
Super smart idea! I struggled with the controls a bit, but I appreciated the level skip option as I wanted to see what the puzzle designs were! Great take on scaling.
A fantastic concept! I love all the polish put into decisions like weight and dialogue choices, and the switch between day and night gameplay is awesome. A fab entry 🤴
Love that this is a real ROM! The scale of it was cute. I agree with a below comment that fixing the music first is a cool idea, or you could keep it the same and have a broken kind of music playing? Like tinny static. A real polished gem of the jam!
Fantastic! I love the way this looks and I'd definitely play a full version. A tutorial with one example year or so would've been a great QoL add, but otherwise it's such a juicy game that I'm super impressed you did it in the time provided. Loved the graphics.
This is awesome! Very eerie and I love the atmosphere. The puzzles ramp up in complexity very well, and I love the reference of the title, a nice cerebral take on the theme.
Yes! You can throw the blocks off the map, but they appear again at the top like you do if you fall. It's randomised where they reappear ☺️ thanks for enjoying!
A really addictive entry! There is indeed always a bigger fish. Loved the play on the theme and the repetition is so good. As someone who seeks out fishing minigames I thoroughly enjoyed this! My only wish was if there had been more of a visual indicator that the fish was indeed bigger, like a different sprite.
This is fantastic! A really engaging game with great randomised elements. Felt really well-balanced and I love that you're building from scales.
The only QoL thing I would suggest would be an indicator in the factory which lets you know that you have the materials needed to craft an item without having to click through the list and see what you've got. Maybe the items you can make are bolded versus faded? But I'd definitely play more of this after the jam if it was expanded 🐲
Lovely aesthetic, it felt really lonely! Echoing what others said I think a tutorial would be great. Always a pleasure to see more melancholic games in a jam.
I loved Bryzt a lot, I really wanted them to make it home 🪐 I found it pretty difficult, but I'd definitely play more if you were able to expand post-jam.
Super neat! This is a really polished entry, I liked the additional context that they were getting married 🥰 the little hearts to make ball smaller were cute.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Fantastic sprite work and an excellent tutorial introduction. I particularly loved the way you made the lifts look like glass 😊 changing the weight of things with scale is something I haven't seen before in the jam, but it's a great application of the theme.
At the very beginning, I ran right instead of left and disappeared into the abyss, lol.
Wow this felt so nostalgic! I love how you've captured the early 2000s PC game feel. I had quite a few crashes while playing, but I was enjoying so much I persisted 😊 gorgeous sprite work too.
A really poignant and melancholic take on the theme, I adore the art and music very much! Love that so many of us went for Anubis, it's a really cool take on the idea of scales. Definitely one of my faves of the jam!
This looks really nice, but unfortunately I can't get past the first hurdle! I tried a few times but keep getting caught. Loved the text at the beginning, really stylish.
A fellow ancient Egypt enjoyer 😎 this is super polished, super cute, and a real creative take on the theme! Loved the cutscene, "Live Osiris Reaction" cracked me up.
