I 100% agree with you! I've taken part in a few Jams already and I feel like it was always an unwritten rule that if someone rates your game, you rate theirs. I think this is the perfect system, it builds a community and rewards people who rate many games themselves. Of course it leads to a higher rating disparity, but I think that's okay - presentation in my opinion is another big part of making a game, and the "old" system rewarded people who put a lot of thought into name, thumbnail, title etc.

Additionally, the big disparity is still there! Some games still have around 30 ratings while others have just 5. Just this time around that's not decided by the effort of the team, be it by socializing or making a good game page, but purely by luck.

I see the argument for this system, and I gotta say: I even enjoyed playing games from my queue! It is true that in other jams I was "pickier", and now I got to enjoy games I would otherwise never have tried. Taking away the community aspect and making everything based on pure randomness has removed quite a bit of the charme from this Jam and left me pretty frustrated...

I hope the rating system gets changed to the old system at a later date to (possibly) get the best of both world. I doubt it though. There has apparently been a lot of discourse on the discord regarding this rating system already, with minimal to no response from anyone associated with the jam.

As a last comment: Thanks for creating this post!

Such a good idea, using the soundwaves to see and attack. Really good game

Wow! The artstyle and sound design are sooo good! Finished the entire game and the ending was really beautiful too!

Thank you!

Thank you! Those two features would definitely have been great additions to the game!

Thanks for playing :)

Soo good! Wish I could rate you, hoping my queue lets me soon ':)

Soo good! The soudtrack and art in particular are insane!

Really beautiful art design! I was a bit spooked when the first NPC had my name xD What a coincidence

Really good game! Great and art and sound as well!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

I couldn't stop! Really simple concept that just makes you want to play further and get stronger!

Wow, a fluid simulation! Really cool. 

Sadly, no enemies spawned for me...

Cool Idea! I suck though, I only made it to 4 notes or so xD

Insanely catchy main menu music :O Would have loved a score showing how well I did

Really catchy music! Played to the end, would have loved so share my score but it disappeared too quickly :'(

I like the idea of having the player spawn their troops in wave, that's a really clever way of interpreting the theme :)

Cool game! I managed to survive for 45 seconds, but it took me a few tries to understand. As you asked for recommendations: I would love some "feedback" when eating a building - it took me a couple of tries to understand what was going on. Also, some music or sounds would be cool (unless it just didn't work for me, it that case let me know!)

Thanks for playing! To answer the question from the clip, the music was made from premade loops I got from a Humble Bundle and assembled together :)

Really fun game, the difficulty ramps up quite a bit but I was hooked enough to never give up. The sound design was so good it almost felt like a rhythm in the later levels

Such a nice artstyle and cozy music, extradordinary game, especially for being made in such a short time. As a small critique, a few of the levels seemed to be possible by just "recording" the clone standing on the button and nothing more. The last level was really clever though and played with the mechanics nicely!

Thanks for playing and the suggestion! We wanted to add some more content but sadly the time ran out :)

Hey guys! The web export of the game laggs a bit, if you like the game feel free to try the downloadable version :)

Nice visuals and very polished! The controls were a bit hard to get into at first but once you have them you can do very satisfying maneuvers. Would have loved some music in the dialogue and shop scenes, but very strong game anyways!

Really cool idea, a puzzle game where the goal is to die :)

Insanely good entry, and fits the theme very well. The music and humour are outstanding!

Superb artstyle and sound design! You really feel like you are in a Cyberpunk world in the game.

Thanks for playing!

I'm guessing it's the hint 'cold. warm. warmer...'. If so, it has been updated and the final Version will be published shortly :) Thanks for playing!

The fact that you made different dialoge for when you give out the rune of death... 10/10
Als funny how we both independently made drawing the main control method in our games here xD

Really cool concept, and it's way harder than you think

Really nice atmosphere! Sound design is also top notch

Incredible game! Everything from the art, to sound to small effects is just great. Insane what you managed to pull off in 2 days

Was not expecting a puzzle game, and especially not such a good one. Great Game!

Nice Game, love the artstyle. This is the kind of game you could play for hours trying to beat your highscore

Really cool Idea! I've never seen anything like this decryption mechanic in a game before

Very nice graphics and sound design! Took me way too long to reach the end xD
