Very true! I hadn't even thought of this. That would also explain why some play testers didn't notice the instructions in the first level as they were going by (oops). You're right, the timer might not be necessary; the goal was to make it feel hectic, but we can probably do that in some way other than the timer.

Thank you so much for playing! We appreciate everyone who takes the time to figure it out, and we especially appreciate your thoughtful feedback :)

Next time I go to the mechanic, I'm half expecting them to ask me how many possums long the thumb slammer is.

Thank you so much for playing!

I really liked the design for the cart! And I also enjoyed the chaotic feel to it. The physics took me a minute to figure out, but once I did, it became really satisfying to see how quickly I could get through it. Really good job!

We tried to make which part it asks for a bit silly, by giving the parts crazy names that "Bernie" thought up, although admittedly, that did make it rather hard. Thanks so much for playing!

Very smooth and well made game! It had me really tense -- that last level was a maze! (The clowns were drawn especially creepily)

Really great job

Thank you! We thought it would be a fun way to make the player have to feel the consequences of miss-sizing things. Thanks for playing!

This was so cool; the art was absolutely amazing, and the music was super relaxing! To whoever did the background for the opening cut scene: that was amazing.

Once I figured out navigation, I got super into the exploration vibe. The story line also added a lot to the game (I liked the tape recorder in space especially). Awesome entry!

I really really liked the look! The art was quite fun.

It's a neat concept for a puzzle game; I'm sad it ended so soon. Good job putting it together! :)

Really well made game; it was really smoothly put together! It felt oddly satisfying to have and array of laser modules blasting through asteroids. I enjoyed it immensely :)

The art was really cool, and once I got the hang of it, the game became kind of addictive. I wish I had more time to spend playing it!

I loved the art! The little construction dude was my favorite.

This felt almost like a physics puzzle to get all of the objects pushed into the right places from the right angle. It was a neat experience! Giving the objects circle colliders made it possible to push them away from being against walls, but you might be able to give them square colliders if you gave the player some kind of drag ability. (I also really liked all the carefully done backgrounds by the way)

I loved the concept; I've always thought that more open-ended puzzle games would be cool. I like that it gives the player more freedom to just try things, and doesn't guide them so closely.

By the way, I've seen your GMTK game jam games for the past 2 years (they've been awesome), and it's also super cool that you branched out into 3d (I've always been a little nervous to do so myself).

Thanks!

The first time I had someone play it was after it was submitted because I ran out of time; it was rather nerve racking when it took them a full 10 minutes to figure it out --  lol

I'm thinking of improving the tutorial in a post-jam release.

Thanks! Our artists appreciate it :)

Thanks for playing! Yeah, this year, I took on a bit more of an ambitious project, but had less time than usual to code it together lol. I ran out of time to improve it much more.

Thank you!

Very well done! It was fun, and I'm glad I got to play it! Never have I been happier for all of the adventurers to die -- lol.

It was a little confusing when the button assigned to each attack changed between levels, although that didn't take away from the experience.  It was a good game. Good job getting it done in just 48 hours!

Thanks for playing! I did consider allowing the player to drag the trolleys across multiple tracks, but as you said, it would have taken quite a bit of re-balancing and 3 am me didn't think it was worth it -- lol. I will definitely play around with letting the player drag the trolleys across multiple tracks in the post-jam version.

I'm glad you liked the increasing difficulty levels. Thanks again for playing :)

Good Game! Nice presentation, and I like the art. The mechanic where the player runs to the ghouls while looking at the display is really cool. -- some way to redirect/distract the ghouls could be interesting.

Good job getting it done in 48 hours!

Thank you for playing! And I'm glad you like the tutorial -- It was a struggle for 3 am me to complete. lol

Good job getting all the coins! And thanks for playing!

And good point about not being an endless-runner game. Originally in the description I said it was "Endless Runner-like", (since the game-play was similar) adding "Runner-like" because there was an end. But, you are right, that does still imply that there isn't an end. Thanks for pointing that out -- Much appreciated! :)

I have since updated the description, saying it is in "the style of the auto-runner game genre" Thanks again for playing!

Thanks for playing! Yeah, sleep deprived me was struggling to get the background to move correctly -- I needed to spend more time improving the game-play.

I was able to tell myself that when the game starts the trolleys are moving with the player but slower, and that when the trolleys sped up and started moving faster than the tracks that all the conductors decided to spontaneously shift into reverse. Lol, not the best explanation on my part, but it made sense at the time.

I'm glad you liked the coin system -- we decided to add them because the game-play was rather dull at first. I appreciate your feedback! :)

I think the concept is funny, and I thoroughly enjoyed playing. There can sometimes be a bit much time between congressional bills, but it is still very enjoyable -- I'm really glad I got to play it!

Good job getting it done in just 48 hours!

I'm glad you enjoyed it -- thanks for playing!

It can get a little of control, especially if you have a lot of trolleys spawn right in front of the player.

The intro scene/ title screen is cool, and I loved the music. It took me a minute to figure out that I needed to make the fire go out, but once I did, it was very fun! The enemies were cute, and the circles of fire effects from the gasoline can enemies were amazing. R.I.P. the fire.

It's a good game. Good job getting it done in 48 hours!

Yeah, the last little section can be a bit difficult, but I'm glad you liked it! 

Thanks for the feedback!

I like the idea. It is very creative and fits the jam perfectly. It took a minute to figure out, but I thought it was incredibly fun once I did!

With a few bug fixes and a bit more explanation, I think you have a very solid and quite fun game!

This was really fun! I enjoyed spilling the milkshakes-- I felt kind of bad for the waiter though.

I think it turned out really well, and it was impressive that you were also able to make a good tutorial in such a short time. Good Job, and keep up the hard work!

Thanks for playing! Yeah, getting all the coins can get petty tough at the end.

Cool idea -- It fits the theme nicely, I liked the style and your music. I felt bad for viewers who had to stare at grass for several minutes while I looked for the player. lol

Good job getting it done in 48 hours!

Awesome game! The concept fits the the theme perfectly.

This game is really impressive for your first game jam -- It is well done and fun to play. Good Job!

Cool game -- I liked the narrative, and it fit the theme wonderfully! I'm glad the slime is back being a super villain :)

As a side note, there was minor bug which I'm not sure was intentional. If you press space, e, and enter all the at the same time a couple of times, you can beat the fishers in a second or two. It doesn't detract from the experience though. It is still a very fun game with engaging game-play!

My compliments to the artists by the way, I loved the style. Keep up the good work!

Fun Game! It's nicely polished and would make a great mobile game -- Good Job getting it done in 48 hours!

That construction company should probably get a new guy to run the crane. lol

Thanks for playing!

Very cool game! The puzzles were just the right difficulty. It took me a minute or two to get the controls down, but that made it more fun.

I had a lot of fun playing this, and it was extremely engaging. Good job making it in just 48 hours! :)

I love the pixel art, and it was fun to play! R.I.P. all the guys who died jumping off the edge.

Good game, and great job getting it done in 48 hours!

Yeah, we decided to shorten the game last minute and I didn't scale the increasing difficulty super well. Thanks for playing and for your feedback! :)

That was a really cute game -- It was fun to play! I thought that all of the art was really cute. (I think Mr. Whiskers is my favorite).  

Good job getting it done in 48 hours!

It's a nicely polished game. There are some slight collider issues, but they don't detract from the fun of it! 

Definitely high in the enjoyment category -- Good game, and good job getting it done in 48 hours!

Creative concept, I hadn't even thought about switching places with the camera man! Changing the view so we can see farther ahead might make it less difficult, but as is, it is a bit of a fun memorization challenge of remembering where the obstacles are. 

Good job for a 48 hour jam! I'm glad I got to play it   :)

I like this game! The little ghost is really cute, and the core idea is cool.

It is a bit difficult, and the getting the timing right with avoiding the flash-light beams can be hard. It is usually a good idea when making AI systems (even simple ones) to let the player know what it is doing -- maybe some kind of signal before the people turn around. Also, a good rule of thumb is to always make the game way easier than you think it needs to be.

Keep it up!  With some improvements, I think you have a really solid game. :)
