Thank you! Ahaha yeah that section, I think I wrote at around the 2 1/2 hour mark. It was probably a cry for help from my end too. I’m glad it resonated!

Ah this is great. I’m bad at parser games so it took me a hot second to twig to what I needed to do. Once I did though… such a fun use of the format!

This was fun! I liked the handling of the awkward “you think I’m funny, right?” conversations in the early game. I think everyone’s been in a situation like that at some point, I would have honestly loved to have inhabited that particular headspace a little longer.

Yay thank you for reading! Mm yeah meandering prose is a thing I often fall into - hopefully post-jam with some editing/cutting I can get a better sense of where it’s going across. Thanks for your feedback!

This is fantastic. I’m so baffled/curious as to what “FRENCH TEETH” possibly could be?!

I played a session of this, and was really delighted at the way the prompts and domino-draws combined to create increasingly knotty connections between people’s lives. I could imagine doing this on a larger scale for the imaginary residents of an apartment building and getting a lovely, interconnected mess of affairs and secrets. Also the Hopper painting fits so well!

This is absolutely gorgeous

This really resonated with me. Big fan of this point in particular: “Games create scripts for players to perform.” So good!

This rules

This is so damn good. The description of games as generally being “unctious little suck-ups” will remain with me for a long time, I expect.

This is so great, I wanna join the Frog Boats Workers’ Union!

Hell yeah the art for this is great! (Archaeopteryx is my fave too)

Wow this is good, wow wow. Obsessed with the description of the Meadow Reek as “pompous.” (Also I love the Invisible Cities connection!! The vibe really comes across here, I would absolutely love to see more of these)

This is such a frustrating thing to have happen, oh my god. That aside though, this is a gorgeously put together zine! (I’m really amazed at the wonderful things you have made with Decker!!)

Oh gosh, thank you!!

Yesssss this is great! I particularly love the line art illustrations that accompany the text and photos!

Oh my gosh, this is GORGEOUS, such an effective use of imagery and color!

Thanks for reading!

Thank you so much!!

Yay thank you! I had such a fun afternoon making it, it really got me out of a little block I was in haha

Thank you so much! I’m a little in love with the way the 1-bit patterns in Decker, they feel like old-school aquatints. Thank YOU for running the jam! I’m really keen to check other people’s zines out too!

This is a really lovely collection of quotes, and reflections!

I love this template so, so much!

Oh my gosh thank you for your kind words! And thank YOU for hosting this jam, I had an absolute blast making something for it and playing everyone’s submissions!

I love this so much, especially the procedural snail names and colours. I don’t know that I’d personally need gambling elements/any kind of player control to enjoy this more–it’s just really nice to watch these little guys go for gold!

This is great–I hadn’t read noticed the theme it was based on when I played it the first time, so got caught off guard when I collected a daisy, jumped and immediately flew out into the abyss. I kind of love it when game power-ups secretly disadvantage the player, so I loved this!

Love love love this! And oh my gosh the SFX and music are perfect! I adore the rolypoly horn tune that accompanies the saturation slider.

The inverted controls are a little tough to get used to, but they do make trying to drill holes and set up furniture hilariously disorienting. I just want this lil’ drillbug to have a nice home, but I put way too many holes in the wall!

I sort of like this throws you in the deep end right from the start–I had a fun time dashing around trying to save babies. The character art is really, really charming! I love the arms-raised crying animation when your character is idle, and the little grave and ghost that appears when they die.

Thank you!!!

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with those backgrounds, although didn’t leave myself much time for other assets. I’m so grateful to Hypertelex for the music, and happy that people enjoyed it!

Thank you for playing it!

Aw thank you! I wanted it to end in a kind of calm, patient atmosphere, so I’m happy to hear it had that effect!

This has so much personality, I really like the fish designs and the little defeated image that flashes up when you lose a catch. I had a great time puttering around the archipelago and fishing!

Really enjoyed the sense of movement and grappling around in this one! The music and art style fit together so well too.

Ooh I really like how tactile the UI for this is. I didn’t entirely understand what I was doing–my shift slowly drifted out of sight, and I’m not 100% sure if my missiles hit anything–but I had a lot of fun twiddling with all the levers and dials! Great use of the theme!

This was fun! Loved the switch into 3D (usually to see my carefully set out plans go wrong) and the robot’s dance!

Thank you! I got a little bit too into drawing those murals haha. The locations are based on half-remembered places around the town I grew up in. Although the real-life underpass I based that one on doesn’t have an yu-gi-oh! art, sadly

Thank you so much! Ooh, I appreciate you letting me know about the volume too. I code on a pretty old laptop with quiet speakers, so my baselines for quiet/loud audio are probably way off. Definitely something I’ll aim to fix after the jam!

I am SO here for this classical music rhythm game, even I’m shocking at it. (Gonna climb the leaderboard eventually)
