This is genius. I hated it from the bottom of my heart that I just couldn’t find that damn right spot. I didn’t even rage this hard playing League of Legends. Thank you for that, this is art!

Amazing synthesis between gameplay and graphical style, this is trully clever and adorable. I could absolutely not figure out how to catch a single wave with all my attempts ending with score zero, but at least I danced fabulously while doing so. Would retry with some tips.

Fun game, definitely has some "getting over it feels" for movement. Graphics and sound are simple but so on point, really nailed the theme! Good job!

I don't really get what I'm supposed to do? I like the aesthetic but I just dont understand what my goal is. The hints from the people watching me are kinda vague. The intro is rly nice tho.

Apologies for the vagueness of where you should be reaching towards, was channeling that "not the right spot" from doing this decades ago.

Really cool entry! I loved the concept and the overall mood you’ve created here. The controls felt responsive and the gameplay was super engaging for a jam project. Left full ratings!
If you have a few minutes, we’d love for you to check out our game Meow Bomb! 🐱💣 The official LD page has our jam release, but I also assembled an alternative updated build with fixes and a working PC: https://naiper.itch.io/meow-bomb-by-naiper

Cheers!

Best score I could get was 5, took a bit to figure out how to get on top of the TV XD

Art is great! Very cute, music works pretty well too :)

And thanks for not using AI. As a compo jammer it's been a bit depressing seeing how much positive reception some of the compo AI games have gotten. There's just no way to compete with the sheer speed if you're doing everything by hand :(
