I love the aesthetic of this game. The game was a bit confusing at first, i thought i was supposed to hit the red blobs with myself, but then i understood that i had to attack the green blob. My only real complaint, is that when you have these "cave" mazes which you have to navigate without touching the walls, the controlls are really bad for that. Maybe if you could move the triangle with the mouse it would be less tedious?
Pretty intresting concept I had a fun time playing, wish it would have been longer.
Wow! From the moment I launched the game I was floored! Cinematic cutscenes, an interesting environment with tons going on and an absolutely bumping soundtrack. I love abstract styled games so I may be a little biased but this pulls it off so well. Exploring and figuring out what to do was fantastic, it fits the theme and the whole game really comes together.
One thing I would have liked modified is the ending. It's a bit slow as it is right now and comparatively less engaging than the rest of the game. Some organelles in there protecting the nucleus or maybe your triangles slowly disintegrate so you're on a time limit. Something to give you one last hurdle and make it a skillful challenge instead of attrition, at that point the theme has been made abundantly clear already. It would really help with the pacing arc and put it over the moon in my book.
My biggest complaint however is that there isn't more game there to play! As an entry it's short and sweet and I cant complain but I'd love to see a full game in this style facing larger and more complex cells. All that set to more killer tunes and trippy visuals, I'd be all over it.
Great work :clap:
The presentation was well polished. The minimalistic graphics with the color scheme absolutely rocked. :ok_hand: The gameplay left me a little cold though. It was a little repetitive, which would have been alright if the situation would have kept on escalating on each new run, and the squiggly tunnel gave the impression that the game would have been a more natural fit for analog controls rather than a keyboard.
It was interesting to use a health bar for the second stage.
:thumbsup: I liked that the graphics (specifically the triangles) cued the player into where they go. The fizzle effect when this "dissolved" was very nice.
:point_right: I had a really hard time getting the triangle through the tunnel (particularly on a keyboard with only 8 directions, and the difficult bend was not 45 degrees).
:star: Overall good job, and thank you for making this.
@wie @albertbogunapozo @kramdar @antti-tiihonen @hitchh1k3r Thank you all for all the praise, it comforts me about what I missed. I wanted to put the same amount of work for all the aspects of the game, including: graphics, sounds, music, gamefeel, cutscenes. I admit that the game is pretty short, I wanted to make it longer but time went short. Maybe making the maze part easier would have been a good choice; not all walls should kill, whereas the finish with attrition was what I wanted to achieve, it should have been quicker.
Thank you!
Really sweet! I loved the graphics, I used to be a huge processing user so the simple shapes and cool visual effects made it very nostalgia for me. I was blown away with the sound too 10/10, I loved we had the last trail to go around to the back I was getting sweaty trying to navigate it without touching XD. Great job, can't wait to see what you do next jam!
I like the music it is relaxing, fit well with the biology theme, graphics were simple and stylish.
Really calm and relaxing game, I enjoyed it very much and honestly would love to chill out and just play more levels of this game. Your music was excellent and perfectly fits the game.
At first I thought I needed to move other triangle pieces into place and it was a bit challenging but still fun. Also I thought the movement was a bit to "mechanical." This made it a bit too difficult to navigate through the little tunnel, but I was still able to do it in only a few tries.
Really enjoyed my time with your game, and congratulations on making a complete game in 48 hours!
