Presenting my jam entry:
Raided
Fairly simple you eliminate Courageous Adventurer attempting this All new In town raid boss.

The enemy starts naive, with foolish one man show, and as they get slaughtered they wisen up, come in bigger groups, send stronger opponent and even party up.
While you can not become any stronger (boss dont level up) you can change up your skill arsenal to better deal with the wave at hand. (but really, screw strategy, just wreck havoc as a boss should)

Oh, after death you respawn to the last wave you reached, So just keep trying till you get it. (Well, you also have to kill the peaceful villagers you suprise)
Game features progressing 20 waves before going into random waves (still increasing in difficulty). Wave 40 is where its at!
So try it here!
Not perfect, but hope you like it!
Yay I made it!
here’s my Entry:
You are stuck in an incinerator room and you want to make it out!
(It’s quite hard, you’re not meant to but there is a win state)

Dont get squashed, dont get burned, reach the top!
Quite pleased with the result, hopefully you like it too!
Its a game about fishing... And racing.
I have a need... A need for patience!
M to mute
I would even say its easy to play, hard to master!!
Know the fish, Know yourself. (no seriously, knowing the fishes can help)
I really put a lot on this. I didn't even post updates while I was making it! I thought there was something nice about the speed of racing vs the patience of fishing, the result is odd, but I think it ended somewhere nice. I had fun making it.
Hopefully it is fun to play too! Let me know :smile:
Hi, had some fun playing and rating some games, hopefully I will have some more in the days to come!
But I have something for you all!
Something for those who don't like to download .exe, or just want a quick play! A HTML5 version!
Fishing x Racing, thats a cool one

It was ported later, but its overall the same experience. Feel free to the executable.

Its a game about blowing through waves of dangerous (and not so dangerous bystanders) foes. You can use your units to attack your foes, or sacrifice your units to possess your foes.
From peasant to Hero, passing by Goblin, nothing will be spared. Use your cleverness to Create spirit value from "nothing". (You'll see, it seems like you can't "grow" your army, but you can! It's tricky though)

Just got quite an optimal(Least kill possible) playthrough so I thought I'd challenge any competitive people to beat it.
(got to wave 23/25 before being forced to kill... So CLOSE!!!)
The Art of sacrifice & possession is a puzzle in itself, but here are some hints! - Goat has the ability to increase its spirit value. - Sacrifice & Possession > Fighting. By a lot actually, you can almost not fight at all. - The campaign is 25 levels and they are always the same: Yes you can "Learn from playthroughs" to optimize approach. - You can split 1 high level units for many lower level units, The stars must match, but dont be afraid to downgrade.
I'll be playing some more games today, but in the meantime, I hope a bunch of you get to try this one, It's a nice challenge! Feedback would be appreciated!
Have fun and a good day!

(I didn't set out for my game to be the dark souls of card games, but after the initial reception I embraced it)
It was well received and I've had a bunch of people try it with 2 champions (at least according to comments) managing! One with proof and it really surprised me because it was a very murderous route.(I recommend, emphasis on possession)

Its not the kind of game you need to beat to enjoy, Honnestly I think its more fun to just see how you improve. See your forces dwindle, yet be better the next time using your new knowledge.
Here are some hints ( i keep on adding to it) - You can possess multiple units at the same time!! - Goat has the ability to increase its spirit value. - Sacrifice & Possession > Fighting. By a lot actually, you can almost not fight at all. - I personally made it to round 23/25 without killing anything, it a puzzle, and you actually have to use some abilities at optimal time, but it should give an idea that, possesions are very effective. - The campaign is 25 levels and they are always the same: Yes you can "Learn from playthroughs" to optimize approach. - You can split 1 high level units for many lower level units, The stars must match, but dont be afraid to downgrade.
I'm seeing a lot of post-mortem, it makes me want to try more game, but also make one of my own. But before that any more feedback and impression would be appreciated, so Hey! Round 2! Can you beat the game?!
Streamer/videos welcomed, I saw one playthrough and it was really nice!(lemme know)
I think Everyone has played/done this before (IRL) When a ball (or balloon) is in the air, It has to stay there!
Now do it digitally, with larger groups than ever before!

Direct a team of people trying to keep the ball in the air! You know when you pass by such a scene, you can't help to want to join in!
Make sure to recruit everyone passing by for the largest group possible.
People fit different classes with their own abilities, organised the placement and angle of hit for all the members to reach the highest hit count!!!
(most of my better records are probably void from nerf/buffs that happened in dev)
Try crossing 60 hits for an Actual challenge! :smirk:

Amazing performances by some players so I had to step up and bring in a new record!

It's a fairly novel peaceful puzzle game, were you try to make the polymerase, stuck in the cyclic loop, to pass over the wanted sequence in order. You do this by reorganizing the nucleotide links. It's a bit tricky, but offers a decent challenge.

For those interested, my highscore is 8.

Give it a try, try to beat it, might seem puny, but its a challenge!

I got a new Highscore, so its clearly worth letting you know about it!
My highscore is now 9. :confetti_ball:
Also, following a lot of feedback I added a tutorial page, as simple as it seemed, many (most?) had a hard time grasping how the game works. I hope this helps!

I feel the game is at its best when aiming for highscore, so I'm giving one!

My highscore is still 9. :confetti_ball:
But It's been Tied by @moski: 9
and Crushed by @jorgegamedev at 16! (With proof in comments!)
On that note, I cant help but give a shoutout and recommend their great game: Woofice Chair!
I feel great that that people were able to rise up to the challenge, and now I have to step my game up! (But I dont think I can ever beat 16, thats some real talent right there.)

Give it a try, try to beat it, I'm clearly not the best at my own game but I'm curious how others will do!

Been getting some nice feedback, So I thought I'd share this experience with more people!
This is a sort of survival game where you try to pay all your bills, while obviously being unable to pay them. Live on borrowed money! But how long can that last :credit_card: :fearful:
Game has 25 weeks and then a infinite progression for high scores and depts.
Oh and I didn't have time to add card limitations so you can go wild! (but I don't recommend it)

Ive now adjusted things so you can manage many cards and bills (scroll them when you have too many) should fix being unable to click the right thing.
