Ugh it feels like it's possible to save everyone but i just can't do it lol. Nice game, on theme, simple but effective

That was pretty good. I was surprised that I only fainted when I ran out of health, though.

My house burnt down before I understood what I have to do. Nevertheless: Nice game!

kamen-kitanov 2018-12-04 01:02

@mattdacat Yeah, that was what I was going for. I, myself am not sure if you can save all, but if you managed to save 2 then you completed the game in my book :)

Pretty good, I like the pixel art.

I really liked the art and the game, however arrows+mouse click controls felt a bit unnatural. Still congratulations though

@Quackqack Thanks! Experimenting with pixel art was one of the reasons I joined the jam this year. I started learning a couple of weeks ago - glad that you like it.

@kalshutein There is also W/A/S/D controls + mouse which might be a bit more natural (although the text on top only mentions arrow keys). Thanks for the feedback!

Good idea! Good small game! :)

Nice idea, some more more levels would be good.

Cool design but the audio is too loud

kamen-kitanov 2018-12-06 10:46

@wevel Yes, indeed! I barely had enough time to finish it as it is though :( I'm still new to pixel art and drawing all the tiles and sprites took awhile.

@pelicanodepico Right, I noticed that too. Also the sound "starts" a bit rough and then gets to a more acceptable level, but I think the lesson to be learned is to err on the quiet side with sound - if its any good people will just turn up their volume instead!

Thanks for your comments!

The general concept of the game is well chosen and has potential to be developed a bit more deeply. There seems to be no real way to know how is the level going to progress and as a player you just have to assume that you are going to die multiple times to find out. Overall, good work.

Very fun game and the concept is well applied, could have more levels indeed, as some other people already said xD

Audio is a little annoying but overall it's a good game. When I think of it's been made by one person, really nice achievement! I felt like my conscience being tested! :'D At first I wasn't aware that I should or could put people in the truck, I just left them right outside of the house. And the old lady is keep walking back to the house with tiny steps! :D "Nanny! Stop making this more complicated!"

Simple game, but it covers the theme well. I think the graphics are the strong point. It's a little hard to tell what some things are(ie. the babies), but it's a neat style. The burning sound needs to be broken up or replaced. The constant sound is a little much. Overall a decent effort.

A nice use of the theme !

hdugmag 2018-12-16 19:44

Creative implementation of the theme! Loved the pixel art and appreciated the mood, however, audio got a bit annoying. Overall, well done!

falak 2018-12-20 19:46

Well made and great use of theme! Good luck!
