Hey guys, want to play your game but your link is down!

pixel-lifetime 2018-12-04 02:55

@walterp Hi! The one on itch.io?

loadsofmana 2018-12-04 02:56

Your itch.io link doesnt work!

pixel-lifetime 2018-12-04 02:57

@walterp Thank you so much! I didn't notice that the game wasn't public!

arielle-stroman 2018-12-04 02:57

Hi, your itch.io link doesn't seem to work!

pixel-lifetime 2018-12-04 02:59

@arielle-stroman Thank you, I have fixed the link, could you please try again?

pixel-lifetime 2018-12-04 03:00

@loadsofmana Thanks, could you please try again?

@pixel-lifetime works great! I love the aesthetic of this game, it's very light and cute. I fell in love with Blob (not Bob, hahaha). I encountered some glitchiness, specifically stuttering, when maneuvering Blob around the trees near the first water hole. But so, so well done for 72 hours, this is fantastic and I plan on continuing playing!

loadsofmana 2018-12-04 03:09

Man that slime is adorable. The sound and music is pleasingly mellow and matches the aesthetic well. The sand mechanic is nice, i can see how it ties a little bit to the theme, but that area is a bit lacking

@arielle-stroman thank you! I have played your entry as well, it's fun as hell! Love the concept :)

The graphics and mechanics are fantastic. Take this as a compliment, I wish there was more of the game. The player movement felt great and the world really felt right. The music went well with everything else. Nice work.

The graphics and audio are really nice. My monitor is a strange size though which means that the menu UI was almost completely offscreen. I also found the movement to be rather buggy.

Great job aside from those two things though :D

pixel-lifetime 2018-12-04 03:16

@loadsofmana Thanks! Props to our artist and sound designer :) True, the area is lacking, everyone had school and work on Monday, I have tried to finish as much as I could in time, lessons learned, next LD - with upgraded skills.

arielle-stroman 2018-12-04 03:16

@pixel-lifetime thanks a ton! :)

pixel-lifetime 2018-12-04 03:27

@muzzz29 Thanks :) I have thought about that, at first I wanted to have that UI at the bottom of the screen, but we all voted on World Space related dialogue, mistakes learned. I should have somehow calculated the right position for that dialogue, I thought that canvas scaling would fix it. Lesson - remember to test on different resolutions. Thanks for the feedback!

pixel-lifetime 2018-12-04 03:27

@twenty5clocks Thank you!

haha... At the first,I don't how to do... then I run out of bounds . Of course, I played it again. 1.png 2.png

I think run out of bounds is the end of the journey too _(:3」∠)_

I love the idea that you are slowly dying hahaha. I find it a little easy but, hey! we are in a Jam :smiley:, I think you wanted to do it longer. Graphics are nice and camera, no bugs for me.

Great work, team!

When i first started the game, i thought, looks good, nice music. However im sad to say that I never got far in your game, the controls were just too clunky and frustrating to use. Honestly would have loved to get further than the first pond, but i never did since the controls were just too frustrating to use and i seemed to get stuck there :/

pixel-lifetime 2018-12-04 10:12

@hukee haha, yeah, I probably should have tested this case, I thought this was impossible to reach :) Thanks!

@spigaru Thank you!

@olavdeng2 Sorry to hear that, controls are indeed a bit clunky, we used rigidbody - not character controller, thus hills may be a challenge to climb. Thanks for playing and feedback is appreciated :v: !

Really cute game, I enjoyed the characters and the humor in it. Content-wise, I wish there was more time so you could have explored more of the gameplay mechanics and story. Still a really good job! :)

samuel-fine 2018-12-05 00:51

I had a very similar situation, creating the bones of a game but not having time to flesh out the details. Loved the look and the writing, keep working on this!

taikuri 2018-12-05 03:07

Cute game! I loved the graphics and music. The controls were a bit messy and sometimes my character would glitch out and become very slow and uncontrollable for a bit. I also wasn't quite sure how it tied into the sacrifice theme. Regardless, a very cute concept! Would love to see where you could take this in the future :)

kaley 2018-12-07 00:26

graphics and sound/atmosphere were really nice. the little blob was super cute! I didn't really know what to do at first though

doey 2018-12-27 15:50

The game actually felt really polished, particularly with the graphics and sound. Also loved the concept, some really nice work!
