I don't have much to say about your game because it's simply genious, literally the most innovative title I've played so far during this Ludum Dare, and you're the one who deserves the first place in this category.
Influence of Witness is pretty obvious, especially in the artstyle.
Truly is a work of art!
A very clever take on a game that shaped a genre, every moment was a tantalizing pleasure that ultimately left a wanting for more.
A vote well cast for Cathode Way, the only winner in my books.
Really good - a game inside another. You managed culling mode, cameras and shaders in order to create something new - a funny entry. The background track is good enough and I like this aesthetic. Fantastic ++
I think previous commenters have said it all already. This game is brilliant and worthy of the highest praise!
Amazing idea! My inner backstory is something about being stranded on an island where video game systems go when they die. Great graphics sound and concept. A+.
Nice graphics, fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15RvXBjxVuU&feature=youtu.be
Really great looking game! It reminds me of "The Pedestrian" and maybe a bit of "Witness" as well. The graphics are really amazing, with just the right amount of post processing! My only problem would be that some screens can be a little awkward to use if you use them from a weird angle. So maybe the camera panning in front of the screens would be a good idea. Other than that great entry, especially for a game jam! Well done!
I was bit skeptical when I first saw your game, as I thought it was just a clone of The Witness. But you truly won me over. Very well done! Mechanics are different enough to make it feel original. Atmosphere and music helped in that too. Graphics felt bit unfinished (or placeholder like), but this is of course understandable given the short amount of time, team size, and HUGE scope you had.
I also encountered a couple of bugs where I would get stuck after exiting a monitor. First this happened with the first monitor and after that with monitor on top of the tower.
A pretty neat twist on The Witness's formula, and the level design is undeniably clever! Among all the LD entries I have tried this time, this one hooked me the longest time.
One confirmed issue: the outer character will get stuck permanently upon exiting the screen if stand too close to the monitor.
This game is very innovative. I love the mechanic of transferring between screens, and unlocking things. The platforming was a bit slippery at times.
It got hard to tell what switch went with what. A color code of some kind would be helpful for that.
I loved the music, and the transition between songs sounded smooth.
Good job!
Top notch game, so much to get in over a weekend and be so well polished, well done. I did however encounter the same bug as mentioned where I couldn't move after exiting a certain mini game.
Nice job! I got stuck behind one of the rocks, however, so I had to finish early.
Please post a mac version! :)
@kate-kligman Mac build now up on [Itch](https://gareth.itch.io/cathode-way). Kinda slow on my old Mac Mini, but YMMV.
Thanks for the mac build! Working fine on my late 2013 Macbook Pro!
- I can't seem to jump on the overworld even though the instructions seem to say I can. After playing for a bit I get it now, but the entry area is so pretty I feel like I should have full range of motion. Love the island scenery.
- Also, I got stuck in a rock on my first try. Ahh.
- The mini-games are fanatastic and I love the simplicity and classic NES feel to them.
This is one of my favorite LD 38 entries, it's very well done. :)
Very good game, I think it is inspired by [The Pedestrian](https://gamejolt.com/games/the-pedestrian/227555), isn't it ? It is impressive how the controls are intuitive. Special mention on the graphics and effects. The athmosphere is really sweet, I appreciate being in this world. To finish, the gameplay is working, because I feel like I need to take a pen and write down a map :smile:
Nice entry, props for making that in such short time!
I really like the vibe/ambiance it has! It reminded me a lot to The Witness, the puzzle you offer with this game is interesting.
Actually I had the same problem as @kate-kligman with the rock on my first try ahah And I thought the same thing as well for the jump.
To sum up, great game! :D
After about an hour I gave up. Got stuck 4 times, starting rock screen, the white fence at start area right side on the inside, the corner of the map near the tower, and lift corner.
The webGL build parkour is near impossible with ~1 sec lag to every action.(chrome) Will download and try it out tmw if i have time and rmb.
So far, controls are intuitive but slightly buggy/unnatural. May be only for WebGL build.
I feel that there were alot of walking with nothing much going on. Though, again, likely due to me replaying the starting 3 times.
Otherwise, from what i can see, it's a very good game. If only it was more fleshed out.
Will be looking forward to your other games or if this game ever get expanded upon
Surprised that this many ppl know about The Witness/The Pedestrian. Isnt that well known here.
Very innovative! Great looking! Good game.
Got stuck after triggering the elevator (I think i was supposed to take it?)
An excellent take on the puzzle genre ! visuals were really well done! I also love the 2D vs 3D world space I find it to be a really fascinating mechanic to implement in games. The music and sounds were cute! I really enjoyed this one! Also I liked how the game was really easy to control and play! Excellent Work! :ok_hand:
That was really interesting. I really liked the gimmick, the visual had a nice tone to them and made me think of the The Witness. I think some of the platforming seemed like a bit of busy work where you just needed to walk around a lot, but overall not a real problem. A very interesting project, good work.
This is a superb entry. Genuinely (i seriously mean this) the best game i have played in this Jam so far. The graphics, the sounds, the music, the gameplay - its all there and it feels VERY polished.
Great innovation and use of the theme, you have put together a really great game here and it deserves more ratings than it has. Dont bother with the web version - go straight to download and enjoy!
Really excellent job. Well done.
Very innovative idea! Awesome work!
This game is spectacular, and I don't throw that word around easily. The art style is incredibly impressive for a game jam, but the concept is where this game is in a league of its own compared to the other games I've played. I've seen comments comparing this to the Witness etc, but with some continued development this game could be a genuinely successful stand alone solo title that ends up with other games being compared to it instead. Really impressive, well done on every single aspect on this; it's my top LD game so far by quite a bit.
Simply AMAZING! Great work guys. Very innovative idea. Awesome :)
Well executed, well presented, and fun to play. Has a very polished feel to it too!
Really cool, great execution
Pretty innovative for the theme! Reminds me of [The Pedestrian](https://the-pedestrian.itch.io/the-pedestrian) in the platforming multi screens, but with added movement in the real world.
the most memorable game I've played during this LDJam for sure! Great work!
Wow! Totally polished, totally mind blowing. I loved everything (except for getting stuck at the very first monitor and having to reset the app, then it ran fine again and I could progress). I loved the mechanics and the maze. One of the best games so far on the whole LD, IMHO. Epic job guys!
Very well done! Graphics are amazing, it felt like I was on a vacation :). Sound effects and music fit the style really well, the crossfade in the music when playing the platformer adds a lot of mood while staying subtle. The gameplay is very original and it works very well. The only complaint I have is that it ran very poorly, even when turning down the graphical settings a bit, but that's also because of my not so powerful laptop. Great job!
Absolutely loved everything about this game :D Really nothing else to say. I'd really like to play more of this!
Hi,
First I was like "WoW a game in... a game?! *MindBlown*" Then "Ok coulnd't jump above the first door, is it bugged or something? Gotta rerun game and check jump control" Finaly I find the way to do it! *MindBlown_v2* ==> Best game ever
At the end of the game, I confess I expected something more, I was looking for an easter egg (I wanted to play more T_T)
+ Great music and game play, I really love it!
You beat my game, respect my lord
This is such a novel concept! As soon as I realized how it worked, I was blown away. The visual + audio presentation is also top-notch, fantastic work!
I ran into the stuck glitch twice on the web version. I really wish there was a reset feature, since reloading the web page was a little frustration. Regardless, this is an amazing entry and I can't wait to see how well it does.
This is a really great game. It is really well put together and the underlying mechanic is really innovative. I would love to see this mechanic fleshed out even more and to continue the game in progressively challenging ways. I also really liked the contrast in art styles between the first person game and 2D game. Awesome Job!
Hi, guys! Awesome :) http://happywheels24.com/
A very cool concept, you are great for creating such a game in 72 hours! I think, of course, it still needs to be finalized, but in this version everything is pretty good. By the way, why didn't you add video gameplay to the post? For example, on YouTube you can find a bunch of gameplay for different indie games and usually they have more than a couple of tens of thousands of views! I am sure this is because the authors of such videos use the services of https://viplikes.net/ to quickly boost views.
