I love your introduction :D Some doors are kinda hard, others are waaay easier, but it's a nice challenge overall. The puzzles are quite original for some. The voices are :ok_hand:

mad-brokli 2019-10-08 09:24

The W key not working. The narration at the start was awsome :P

matthew-engurasoff 2019-10-08 09:25

The W and A keys don't seem to respond for me, so it was kind of awkward having to use the arrow keys and hit space with my palm. Graphics seem nice, wish there was some music to fill in a lot of the silence tho. Overall pretty fun

Hi thanks for the feedbacks ^^, we are french so our keyboards are different we did'nt thought about inputs but i will release a patch for that at the end of the day. Thanks again for the feedbacks ! That's awesome. <3

It was pretty cool, I like this sound, But I can't pass level with number 14. Overall it's the best game of those that I managed to see.

rysae 2019-10-08 09:56

Some challenges are very hard. The voices are amazing XD

This is a funny little game. Some of the puzzles are really great, but some of them did not make sense for me. Overall a fine LD game. Well done.

gasgiant 2019-10-08 13:19

Ok, I thought this wierd controls are intentional.

xenoxygene 2019-10-08 13:48

Just finished it! Awesome voice acting, awesome gameplay, loved every second of it and couldn't stop laughing :')

hurley 2019-10-08 14:13

Best game ever, love the voice acting

alazarius 2019-10-08 14:18

@xenoxygene @hurley thank you guys ! we were a bit afraid that the voices were too much but apparently not ^^ amazing thanks guys !

hitnrun76 2019-10-08 15:47

@denissobolev you can pass the Room with the number 14 ;) the sum of each rows and collumns need to be 14

vodlion 2019-10-08 17:27

The number is random, but you got the right idea! Tha mnks for the nice comments!

alazarius 2019-10-08 19:17

@mad-brokli @matthew-engurasoff @gasgiant I've fix the inputs if you want to give it a try again ^^

mad-brokli 2019-10-08 19:35

Awsome will do mate :)

raitozan 2019-10-08 22:33

Omg this is the best voice acting I ever heard, thank you for making me cry of laughing :') Love how you mixed different kind of gameplay in mini games like this, the ambient of the game is neat !

julien-kuhn 2019-10-08 23:55

Nice one ! well played guys :p

siarhei-pilat 2019-10-09 11:04

It would be great if it wasn't so bugged, in some places I have no idea why I'm dying... And no, I will not sit through that starting monologue for the 4th time, thanks. Like the jokes, it's definitely 5 for humor, but the game would greatly benefit from subtitles (no offence).

hitnrun76 2019-10-09 11:19

@siarhei-pilat you can skip the dialogue by pressing "N" the only "bug" that you can have is when you jump too close from a wall if you die it comes from somewhere ;)

zimennik 2019-10-09 11:27

Ok. This was frustrating experience. Second door is unfair. Third has bad colliders on "stairs". But overall i like it.

siarhei-pilat 2019-10-09 15:38

@hitnrun76 oh so you managed to make a game with zero bugs, that's amazing

alazarius 2019-10-09 19:27

@zimennik yes there is bug that we cannot find with the colliders physics, don't know why but I did'nt found how to fix it, it's a weird bug. @siarhei-pilat if you died mate it's not out of nothing, calling hitnrun on that is kinda unfair, but hey if you did'nt liked it so be it ^^

paulsams 2019-10-10 11:34

Very cool game, no kidding. It’s only a pity that I have to wait for a very long dialogue at the beginning, when I re-pass the game. A lot of cool mini-games and even a little plot. I wish you good luck in GameDev guys.

nachtwitch 2019-10-10 12:35

The start was a bit slow, but the game was an absolute blast to play, excellent game guys

lone-wolf 2019-10-10 20:45

If you get a Linux build out pleae ping me. I'm interested in playing this o.o

elmos-minion 2019-10-10 21:48

Great game!

@lone-wolf How do Linux users usually get by playing LD games? Do you guys usually use Wine or a VM or something?

lone-wolf 2019-10-10 22:22

@elmos-minion WINE on my side. And it didn't work for this game

alazarius 2019-10-11 07:14

@lone-wolf I can try to build a linux version, no promises but I can try ^^ I'm going to do that tonight

lone-wolf 2019-10-11 15:18

@alazarius Ok thanks. Good luck lol

daitse 2019-10-12 11:15

Nice game ! Challenges are fun, the jump sound effect is hilarious as are the voices ! Some music would have been a plus. Félicitations from a fellow frenchy !

joe-williamson 2019-10-12 20:02

This a beautiful game! The narration is excellent and gives me a kind of experience that I didn't know I needed until now. One criticism I have is that the tilty ball room legitimately gave me motion sickness and it took a while to recover. xD I also had issues jumping up onto ledges if I were too close, for example in the moving wall squish room.

Anyway, I loved it!

Question: Is the second room on the left meant to be completable? I got to the coin at the end and even dodged the final spikes, but I couldn't do anything after that.

hitnrun76 2019-10-14 06:42

@daitse Thanks man :D

hitnrun76 2019-10-14 06:45

@joe-williamson the second room is not impossible the coin is a bait you need to fall down, dodge the ball and then the spikes :)

karlipoppins 2019-10-21 03:14

Looooved every second of the voice acting, that was so hilarious! loved the puzzles although some were very hard to control! Really fun overall!
