Our hero was stuck in the new-fashioned gaming console "SpaceBox"! What do you think, what will he do next? :)ezgif.com-video-to-gif.gif

Really good job ! Graphics are incredible :open_mouth: ! Maybe the camera is too sensible, and the monster is going too fast for us, maybe it's intentioal :) Congrats for the job !!

When you enter the game, it quite thrilling...that you start with a shotgun and now you have to start playing already no time to think what to do.. sadly all other levels are quite bugged. Got stuck in the game, guess thats what it supposed to be. Couldnt figure out what to do on 2 levels. For example, if 2 bugs eat the programmmer you cant finish the game even if you kill the rest bugs. I didnt understand what you had to do when picking warrior or farmer? I was in endless loop. PS! Concept of the game is great. I would definately do some polishing, then it would be great game.

I fell through the floor and I'm not entirely sure what was going on. I feel like it would have been better to focus on 1 of the 5 parts of the game rather than trying to do too much.

kirillr 2018-08-14 09:52

I just can not believe that you managed to make such a great game in such a short time. But the game takes up too much disk space and this makes me very sad.

shozou 2018-08-14 09:55

That's a huuge size for the game jam game! But playing this, I can see why. Still, it's a shame we don't get too see much of the nice looking job. The game does poor job at explaining things unfortunately, making it rought frustrating at moments to figure it out. That, and it's rather buggy - not even mentioning the colliders at places.

As @something-something-games mentioned, I think it would be better call to focus on one thing. This game tries many things, but it doesn't really excel in any.

Music works well, however, I wish I could go through some of the arches on these awesome models, its also a little sensitive. It's also a little hard to see how this links to the theme...

skyrex 2018-08-14 11:43

It is very nice game, you worked hard on it but I can't finish the game because of I couldn't pickup key in green portal.

teelin 2018-08-14 12:42

I like the idea but the scope of the game is a bit big for a game jam. Some really nice ideas but as @shozou said parts of the game play needed more explaining. Well done guys :smile:

josscomposer 2018-08-14 13:51

Although the game looks VERY nice for a jam (lots of work O-o big GG !!!!), I got stuck at the very beginning not understanding what to do, the boss doesn't seem to be taking any damage and there are no audio feedback on most of the important actions (the boss hits, picking up an object, etc...). Also, since you run out of ammo very fast if spamming the gun on the boss (natural reaction when a player is put in a situation like that), it's just a free punish for the player that he can't find ammo anywhere (maybe there is some ? I didn't see it). You have to start again, and again, getting killed to do so. It's very frustrating ^^ I wanted to play the whole game !! I personally think you could have spent less time on the graphics and more on leading the player and finding a real use to these nice graphics... :-/ that's a shame, your work would have certainly been awesome !!! See you and hope to play a future game of yours !

Thank you all for comments!

@2games2easy - i think we doesnot fix some bugs just because of time... We try to make such a big project and doesnot have any time to fix some bugs :(

@something-something-games - Maybe we try to make too much content, but we try to do our best in this three days)

@kirillr - we understand, that our game is too big for jam only when we have 1 hour till the end and we just doensnot have any time for optimization...

@shozou - we have too many ideas in heads and just because of time limits we cant explain all of it, like we need to)

@skyrex - we will try to fix this bug))

@teelin - thank you)

@josscomposer - i think, next time we need to make different prioritets) Thank you for your comment!

This is outstanding. I thought that making a high graphical game like this within 72 hours is nearly impossible. But I was wrong! Though it was giving some unavoidable frame drops on my gtx 1050Ti, graphics was so gorgeous and gameplay was also good.

awix 2018-08-15 06:30

Good Gaming Idea, Music needs to be improved Graphics good

dark-prince-zen 2018-08-15 12:50

A lot of content which I liked and I liked the references and music. But there were a lot of bugs I struggled with which hindered my play of it. Interacting with items wouldn't always work, the camera in the Dark Souls like level kept freaking out and I had no idea what to do with the farmer/warrior level what so ever. But in saying that I am majorly impressed by the size of the game and the graphics. Also Gabe was a nice touch. Well done.

Наверное, игра ставит себя как небольшую и "красивую" историю, наполненную разными механиками.

Но все сводится к тому, что по отдельности играть во все эти механики - невозможно. Игра наполнена багами и недоработками. Даже пройти от одной механики к другой - не удается, они попросту настолько сырые, что не проходятся. - Я не смог пройти 2 из 3 порталов (из-за багов), а в 3ем выиграл случайно) - Упал в пропасть в главной локации - перезапуск игры. - Огромная чувствительность мыши, очень раздражает. - Не ясно как игра связана с темой

Huge scope! You had some good ideas, unfortunatly it feels a little rough on the edges. The sensitivity for example, was extremly high and I couldn't find a way to turn it down. The big monster in the beginning also had a little bit too much life, got a tedious after a while. I didn't understand some of the mini games either.

red-iron 2018-08-16 06:07

We did not have time to implement all the ideas. So, here some explanations.

Jam's theme: The main character is the youtuber. So he had the opportunity to participate in the beta test of the new console "Space Box", the main feature of which is a complete immersion in virtual reality. But after the first level completed, he could not get out of the virtual reality because of the bug (or maybe it was an idea of console's developers?). Now he will have to go through several levels to get out of the "Space Box" trap.

Explanations to the levels:

1 Level (shooter with the boss): Control w a s d shift lmb. Damage is not inflicted while the boss is screaming. At the level are you can find first-aid kits and ammunition.

2 Level (green portal,references to Sims): Control w a s d lmb. You need to find items to open the doors, and then break the wall and get out (if you can not take an object, then come closer). In the first room at the start, the key is on the shelf to the left of the player. To open the second door you need a flashlight, it's on the bottom shelf of the closet near the bed. In the garage you need to find a sledgehammer (behind the trolley) and break a cracked wall. At the end, take the crystal.

3 Level (blue portal,references to Skyrim): Clicking on the buttons below you need to divide the falling characters into guards and farmers. Even if two objects (in hands and on the back) from the guard, it is a guard.

4 Level (orange portal,references to Hife life): Control w a s d lmb. You need to protect programmers from headcrabs who make the best project in the world. Unfortunately due to the bug this level needs to be passed perfectly (crab should not jump to any of the programmers, if this happens please start again: [)

5 Level (red portal,references to Dark souls): Control w a s d shift. You need to press all levers on the level (the passage to them is opened in turn).

After you pass all four of the portal, the fifth will open.

6 Level (purple portal,references to Pubg): Control w a s d lmb. You need to push all the enemies out of the field and and become the last (push on lmb).

For these 3 days we did everything we could, we hope the game will bring you pleasure :)

Nice game!

asunoz 2018-08-17 04:21

Сыровата даже на третий день после лд. Про фермера и война совсем не понятно, нет обратной связи игры к игроку, что ставит в затруднительное положение. И к теме это относится, только если ты переводишь дословно

2018-08-17 04:31

It's better to do 1 good game, than 5 mediocre and bugged ones. This piece is overall frustrating and not really fun. I get your jokes and references, but they simply don't work in this context. Although, connection to the theme is really questionable.

But, at the same time, I appreciate your effort in trying to go big. this just might not be a right place for it.

zicboy 2018-08-19 06:26

Awesome game. I was pleasantly suprised with the overall mood of the game. Hope you develop a post jam version for this!

masterkrepta 2018-09-03 14:37

There is way too much here for a weekend game jam. I got completely confused during the Skyrim section. It seemed like there was no easy pattern to determine which is which. I like the idea of being stuck in a console and having to collect things to escape. I think that would have been a better mechanic to focus on then keep changing it up.

2022-06-21 08:21

That's actually interesting! I don't even remember the last time I played a game like that because I'm more into games like FIFA, and I even place bets on https://takebet.ng/ since I'm a huge sports fan, but this game manged to draw my attention, and I really want to check it out. Hopefully, I won't be disappointed.
