When I try to run the game it shows a message:

"FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation
ShaderName: shd_multiply

D3DXCompile failed - result

at gml_Object_main_menu_lighting_Draw_64"

Hey Ninja Garage - I know on some Windows machines Shaders wont compile correctly, this can be fixed by updating your Direct X is up to date: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35

I loved this, for the most part. Only probelm I had was with the laser beams in the second room. Maybe I'm just bad at games but I couldn't figure out the wait/go factor in that room.

As I said I'm probably bad at games and very impatient. I loved the fact you had an inventory and that you could chech each item out. Also kudos for the gamepad emulation (I don't know if it games standard in gamemaker or not).

All in all a very solid entry! I have to keep my EYE on this one. :P

Wow this is an excellent game! Graphics, music and mood are very well executed, and I had fun finishing it!

The only thing is that it doesn't really fits the theme. Apart from that it's probably one of the best game I've seen in a jam :)

This game is really great, the graphics are nice, the atmosphere is well done, the audio is fantastic. The platforming sometimes feel a bit clunky though and the constant gamepad vibrating gets a little annoying. Great game nontheless

Very nice graphics and sounds! Like it!

Hey, very good entry!

It's funny, i like this idea to play an eye!!

Great premise and looks like it'll be an interesting story - but I couldn't complete it because I kept getting a bug where if I opened my inventory ingame it wouldn't show up and the game would freeze :(

Also: I guess the rumble mechanic is telling you you need a drink. Great idea, but can be a bit much to have the controller constantly rumbling. Just slow pulses would probably be sufficient.

Cool visuals and music ! I also liked the storytelling and the gamepad rumble idea... Having multiple gameplay styles mixed together, i mean a bit of adventure, a bit of a platformer, is a good idea. Good game start, with a bit unfocused gameplay :)

Nice game. Moody graphics, interesting style, and the music's great. The platforming parts were infuriating, but it was nice. Oh and the drinking mechanic is cool too, though I feel it could've been a little more involved. I don't have any particular ideas though

Man!!The Game looks pretty awesome!! Congrats. The gameplay is really nice. Keep it up!!! :)

So many great little details. Loved the drinking mechanic (chewed through batteries tho!), loved the scuba mask, overall mood is excellent.

Awesome game. Very polished. I liked the story and the mood/feel of the game.
I like what you did with the controller but it felt too distracting after a while. I got stuck on the conveyor belt for a while... I can still feel the vibrations in my hands as I write this :)

This is probably the most polished, most complete game that I've played in LD33. The premise is solid, the graphics are great, and the music is absolutely amazing.

The platforming part seemed really hard; I kept getting stuck on the corners of platforms. Some of the obstacles seemed really difficult to get around, too, requiring study of the scene and careful execution.

I am glad that I own a controller so that I could play this game!

5/5 would drink 6.5 litres of whiskey again

Well done on the mood and the audio :)
feels immersed and well executed!

nicely done!

Awesome game! Loved the concept, the artwork, the music, the style! Story was great, really cool effect for Mac getting the red eye!
I just think that maybe the lack of alcohol could influence more the controls. Just the rumbling didn't really do anything for me. Also it was a bit annoying that Mac would always look right. Some collisions problem at the edge of things, but that's just details.
Anyway excellent job!

nihilaleph 2015-09-13 18:41

Oh a minor complaint would be no support to keyboard/mouse, but I understand the lack of time...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!
