very cool style! But bad control)
But style realy nice)))!
I really like the style of the game and the take on the theme buuuut the controls feel really really off, like the directions don't quite match up with how an isometric character would move. That's really my only criticism, but unfortunately it does bring my rating down a bit.
Interesting idea, but right clicking didn't rotate the view so there was no way I could finish it!
The downloaded version of this game wont open
Like your graphics only =(
Doesn't look bad, but too hard to play
Great job with the art, but like people said the game suffers from the controls. I think clicking to go somewhere would make the game much more playable.
The graphics are pretty nice. I managed to get the hang of the controls by using the arrows with my right hand (I'm right handed, which usually means movement with left hand, but not in this game..) but I still couldn't manage to do much other than putting on my shoes. Good job nonetheless.
Really cool take on the theme. I couldn't work out how to shower or wash my hands or face or go to the toilet or whatever hygiene was, or find my pants either. Any hints?
Graphics were good, concept was also good, but I really had a hard time controlling the character :O The fact that it starts immediately without warning contributed to the negative feeling of being a bit /too/ rushed in learning the controls. Also, right clicking didn't work for me as well, since it's the web player. D: Still, I'd like to see what happens to this game in the future, as it can be a quick, entertaining game if executed well. :D
Awesome graphics! The style is just perfect.
...now I know how to be in office just in time)
The controls are very clunky, and you should've turn off the right click option in the web player. The idea is really neat and i like isometric games too, but i only managed to get my shoes, a phone and do some hygiene actions in my best run.
Love the style, but too hard, funny anyway :)
Very hard, very fiddly controls, a lot of things to do in too small a time. Then you put all this in a very neat package and suddenly I want to play it anyway! I want to conquer the controls, I want to make the taxi! No, fuck YOU, rude taxi driver! I'm gonna get my shoes, my phone, that thing on the table, and do my toilet business and god damnit, no non-euclidean geometry is going to stand in my way!
Sadly, I didn't make it, the strange geometry thwarted my every effort. But it was a good experience, I'll remember it!
I think the controls are really hard, the isometric doesn't lend itself well to the time pressure. That being said the graphical style is awesome.
Hi Guys!
This is our first game, now we've disabled the menu when you press the rotate key in the web player!!
But for the movement we don't know already how to do, we'll learn it with time.
By the waaay, thank you very much for everything!
PS. Try to click everywhere..
A curious game with a great style. The game is hard until I discovered that the shower give you lot of extra time.
The controls are a bit stiff, sadly :(
I caught the taxi!!!. I figure that needs three exclamation marks because it took me at least 30 attempts and longer than I want to admit. I couldn't find the pants, and then eating the cake didn't fulfil my huger (spelling, btw) needs.
But I perservered. The graphic style grew on me, although the controls are fiddly and it's too easy to get stuck in corners and loose your orientation when the view flips. A smooth (yet still quick) transition between angles would help. Overall a fun game.
Cool game style, like your graphics.
But isometric controls are wrong. It could be better but still , great game.
Really nice, but I would never have time to grab all the items I need for work. 10 seconds is just not enough time. I love the look of the game though, and I included this game in my video compilation of LD27 games, if you wanna check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQmE1DEkQd4
Love the visuals. I had a hard time with the controls as well, but managed to do a few things before getting yelled at. Is it actually possible to get out on time? I'd love to see a video showing a playthrough :)
@Surrealix the cake is a quote from portal and don't have to complete the hunger need.. infact it says "the cake is a lie"
Graphics are very cute, but only rotate works, can't pickup anything.
liked the story :P and the graphics were great, i couldnt complete it thought the camera and the controls were really difficult, and you have 10 seconds to learn em at a time, epic learning curve, but still cool entry :D
Interesting concept and it worked well with the theme. I feel like it could have been improved with easier movement controls and maybe more forgiving area to use when clicking on objects, if I didn't click perfectly in the center of the shoes for example it wouldn't register as me picking it up. So I guess bigger hitboxes is the word I'm looking for. Since there is a short time limit, the ease of being able to do what I want and pick up what I see as fast as possible is important. The game looks really good though! Although the pickup sound was a bit high pitched.
The time limit and the floaty controls make for a really hard game. I love the art style, though.
As others are saying... Great art style but the controls and the time limit make it quite difficult to play.
Fun idea, crippled by controls and a difficulty curve that's more like a brick wall. Would have preferred something like this but with multiple levels - each day having more and more things to collect from around the house. Could also have done with more generous hotspots...!
Nice game, but very strange controls :/
Great visual style. Minimal, and the colors pop.
It would be REALLY nice for the controls to move relative to the camera view. The objectibes are also a bit hard to read, what with grey text on a grey background.
Thank you very much guys, we are improving the game, we changed controls!
we added some things and fixed others.
we'll add levels and let you see our work!
The game is difficult due to bad control... but the graphics are really impressive!
I really like the premisse, and the graphics are really nice!
I just wish we could change the control scheme, getting used to the controls was very hard for me.
Controls definitely messed with my brain. Very difficult, but a quirky fun little game :)
Too hard for my fingers, but solid idea. A good polishing will make this quite a fun quick game.
Supberb visual design! But pixelhunting with the mouse while sliding around the house doesn't really suit the fast paced gameplay... could easily image this to be very fun with more streamlined controls.
I think this was really great, but the controls make it kind of difficult to get into. I will say I laughed out loud the first time I lost, which is always a good sign.
Great little game, was quite hard to play though. Although visually it was lovely and fit the style of the game really well, it might have helped to be zoomed in on the view a little more so the objects weren't so tiny.
The music worked really well with it as it was very addictive and the game is a great challenge to try and accomplish.
I love the art, the concept, and that Bob is a box! However, despite trying very hard for quite some time I didn't even come close to working the entire list in 10 seconds. Maybe I missed something or it's just not possible (for slow people like myself). Great work though.
The idea is cool and graphics made me want to explore the whole house, but as several have already said, the experience is crippled by the controls.
If you get to fix that, the game will really shine. Congrats anyway, and keep up with the work! :)
Strangely addictive. Pretty tough too.
A Linux version could be great :)
i little too hard, and the controls are bad, but the visuals are great and i like the idea. maybe if you could control the camera by holding down the right mouse click instead of it just changing to a different angle, as all the available angles where kinda frustrating to navigate through.
added also OS/X and linux versions
I think this game is slightly prophetic because my name is Robert and this happened to me this morning. Overslept for an hour and only awoke when my ride was outside.
Good game, I loved the pixel art.
Like the concept and coupled with some great art! Good job.
It was an interesting idea. :) A bit easier and some tweaking on the controls and the camera angle would be nice though. :) I liked the graphics style. :)
style is amazing. I had a hard time adjusting to the controls but once I did I had a lot of fun.
Nice game!
Really nice graphical style. But the walls are really annoying at blocking my view.
Took a few tries to work out what was happening, it seemed a little impossible to get any of the goals though
The game could use more in-game guidance about what you're supposed to do. 10 seconds is a very brief time to teach a lesson, but I feel like this doesn't go far enough towards that :)
The isometric voxel graphic style looks really nice, but I found it pretty hard to actually click on things, and the character felt very slippery.
Really hard. Really nice style thouh!
Crazy awesome style... I'd get rid of the "10 seconds" aspects post-comp - it just feels forced. I'd love to see a bigger adventure-y/puzzle game built on this aesthetic: the graphics and sounds are sooo nice. I don't even mind the controls that much.
Linux version is not working for me :-/
It seems like data folder is missing inside the archive...
i love the graphics but its too difficult! I know its the theme, but 10 seconds are way too little time to pick everything and get out! :)
It's a bit hard to control the character, and do all that stuff in 10 seconds, but the game is well polished and the graphics are nice.
Tough controls. I felt like every camera angle was against me in this game. Another game were the 10 seconds theme kind of hurts the game more than helps it. If I had like 30 seconds it would be more manageable.
Gameplay is a little rough around the edges, but the visual style is very nice!
hey guys! we are making a version for the post-compo, thanks a lot for your tips!
hope you'll love it!
Bob will always be late for me lol. I need a hint on the pants. Enjoyed this and good graphics 5 stars. Reminds me of too many mornings catching the bus! lol
