EPIC
Nice use of theme ;)
Fun game. Tomorrow I'm going to start replacing the staircase in my house with a ladder, to honor your bloodline.
Very cool interpretation of the theme. I like the pixely graphics and the smoke streaming through the corridors. I got stuck a few levels in, because I could not make a jump. I always hit my head on the ceiling. But I had a lot of fun up until that point.
Good job! Interesting game mechanics and good interpretation for this theme!
Ahaha. I wasn't expecting much from the pictures, but you wildly exceeded my expectations! Funny and tense and very enjoyable! My only suggestion is that the air pockets kinda took away some of the tension, and you really want a lot of tension out of the game, so maybe airpockets should just slow down the rate at which you run out of time instead of giving you all your time back? Just a suggestion. Anyways, it was really good, and a lot of fun! Nice job!
Loved your entry, it was nicely polished and very fun!
Well done!
Very nice! Good gameplay, Fits theme well, Nice pixel art. Good job!
Fun game. The intense music an sound effects really added to the "mood" for sure. Nicely done.
Very good! The art was done very well and the music was very driving.
this was a very solid game with execellent use of the theme
Well done! Good pixel art, neat game mechanic, great music, and very good use of the theme. Solid!
Great game :)
I liked it, very innovative.
You should put a %.2f to that timer :P
Nice little game, but a bit too easy
That was awesome. Very fun. I love your use of the theme.
Pretty solid entry. It was a bit easy but the level designs were good and I'm pretty sure with the mechanics you have in place you could flesh out a deeper game with more interesting puzzles and challenges.
Inventive use of the theme, with solid graphics, very good music and humorous dialogs.
Haha! I really like this game. It is unfortunately a tad easy :P but it was mega fun.
The firefighter was a nice take on the theme, but I almost wish it was even harder by having to rescue the people before they succumb to smoke-- now you can just hang out in the safe zone. But all in all really nice. It could easily be made into a full post-jam game!
I always wanted to be a fireman.
Nice one, the gloomy visuals tempted me to try this and it hooked me for quite a while. Really liked the smoke clouds too.
Simple but effective. :)
Nice concept, fun and defying. Congrats!
Bit rough around the edges (particularly in visuals and level designs) but really fun and having to smash doors down, fix ladders etc was very intense when running out of air. Great use of humour too, what with throwing civilians out of the windows and such. Good work.
Right, this is pretty interesting actually. I was surprised a bit with the game, it had a certain impact that worked well for it. The game works well for the most part, I did find one glitchy-ish thing. If you accidentally jump out of the window you just continue to fall into the blackness until time runs out. A nice remedy would be to just restart the level after they cross a certain distance of falling.
Aside from that the game worked fine. As someone else noted you're going for tension here. So the air pockets really work against some of that often providing too much of an easy route out. Now, since it's worked into the gameplay already I figure a good way to add more tension while keeping the air pocket layout would be to have the air pocket slowly drain of air. Then the tension of being stuck inside without completely unlimited resources is still there, while still retaining the air pocket in the level design.
Aside from that the art was fairly good for what was done, a little rough around the edges for some things (like the air pockets, safe zones, and "edges" of the layout that are surrounded completely by a black abyss). The audio was fine, the song choice fit the intensity and the other sounds worked fine in the game.
Really enjoyable game. I like the sound when you pick someone, and throwing them trough the windows was funny. Good job! :)
good job
Great use of the theme and the graphics were nice. A little more work and some better levels and this could be a great little game :)
Nicely done! Your entry is interesting, fun, and really well put together.
Really great game. I wish there were more levels to play, but as is, it's pretty fun. I like how the screen gets darker as you run out of air.
Really cool game. I actually see potential for a full version.
Awesome. Like many entries it shows potential for being made into a full game...
I'd prefer it be a little harder. Maybe you move slower when you carry people?
