Very cool idea to have different minigames for each year. The one with the ABC123 options was a little hard to figure out though, and my runs always ended on that one. Regardless, I had a lot of fun scrambling to each section trying to complete each task. Great game!

Really clever; I think this came together well, don't sell yourself short! It was a little tricky to figure out how to start the game, and unfortunately easy to win the very first time, but you can really get into a good rhythm.

Wow! Solid entry! I like the different mini-games and the idea overall. Took sometime before I got the ABC123 part right but once I figured it out I had fun! I think the bonus mode is also a cute touch haha. I really like the overall mood and theme for this one, great job!!

Hi guys ! I didn't play your game yet (but I planned to do it :wink:).
I just want to tell you something you maybe don't know about LD game jams: the more your rate other people's game (and leave relevant reviews), the more you will have ratings on your own game.
I saw you guys rated 6 games and have a karma of 4. As a rule of thumb, having a karma of 4 means that your game will appear in top of games list until reaching 4 ratings :wink:

Interesting take on the theme. I like the idea and the game mechanic, music is nice too. Good job.

I believe, even if you get 20 rantings on your game, you still need to get at least 20 in "Ratings given" to be counted in final ranking.

"flap flap flap flap" you made my day !
Pretty difficult, I had to make 588 flaps to save the unniverse ! (in difficulty 1)

Pretty cool game, I wasn't able to beat it but it was quite fun and a unique idea

Nice game! It's like a flappy bird management simulator of sorts! I beat difficulty 1 and 2, but not 3 (is 3 even beatable?) A bit short, but jam games kind of have to be short anyway. Good job!

damn this game is amazing
it's all great and i've got nothing bad to say about it
my one criticism though is that it's a little too reliant on rng, the space minigame can sometimes take ages to complete and i only beat difficulty 3 because i got lucky immediately
