This was an interesting game, I honestly didn't know what to expect going in.
Weirdly this was an obsession as a kid, so being able to play it was pretty cool.
Everything here was well executed. Keep up the good work and see ya next time!
This game is terrifying. Like, "I muted the game, lowered my laptop screen, and got up to turn the lights on" terrifying. I love how you took such a simple setup and set the mood incredibly. The audio, the CRT effects, even the old font, it all just feels so perfectly eerie.
I would normally complain about a lack of menus, but the game is so singularly focused and well-presented in the few instructions you need that I think it's to your benefit. A menu would just drag the player out of the experience.
...And I just now realized how well the theme's integrated here. Outstanding stuff.
I like the games visual style. I am not really sure what the goal is in the game, but okay I can move the logo around.
I bounced 150 times :D Very cool vibes, but I'm not sure if it goes with the theme. But well done !
The decision to make the majority of the experience hidden behind a warning is a bold one. I originally thought it was for bug purposes, but when a friend suggested I try it, I was quite impressed at the dedication to such a strong mood. Bouncing a screensaver around is certainly not the most fun thing to do, but the way it was woven into the world your game creates was unlike anything else. Thank you for your hard work.
This game really gets the most important part of a DVD player. 5/5 Humor.
Wow, what kind of a horror game is that?! :-)
I don't know how I got to that video you made but it is a very cool idea. I was wondering why your game is 120 MB and now I know. Really cool you put all that effort in and created this video and narration. Although silly it still sets a great dark mood because of the right combination of sound and graphics. The silliness is only in the words but it is overshadowed by the feel. Really great job, hats off to you!
Technically, I once wanted to restart the game but Alt+F4 made it freeze and crash.
At first I tried to rewind to before track 1 but did not do it for some reason. Of course when you tell me not to do that, the first thing I do is try it. But when it did not work I started bouncing the logo. Then at some point I got to the video but I really could not tell you the rules of how that worked. The mechanics could be clearer. Also, what is BOT-RIGHT? Is that supposed to be top right but top backwards? But that did not seem to work. Does it have to do with the loading symbol that sometimes appears? I was sure that symbol had some special purpose, am I right? If not would be quite misleading I think.
The graphics and sound, the old TV effect, the noise and the blue screen - this game is 5/5 in the mood category, really great job! Also you have a nice voice as a narrator (if that was you).
Thank you for this cool, strange, unique experience. This is what these game jams are for. I am always happy to find such gems in here!
Now that was an interesting experience. Love the effort that went into the "documentary". The post processing was also pretty nice and helped set the mood. Wish there was perhaps a bit "more" to the game, but it was unique enough that I'll have to settle. :wink:
If I could suggest one thing, it would be to put the warning in-game at the beginning. I almost skipped over it and I'm sure others might too. But other than that, it worked great and was certainly memorable. Nice job.
God D*** that scared me... Im a coward, and wont be able to sleep tonight. Amazing horror experience, definitely deserves 1# in mood. This is probable the most complete experience a Jam game can be. 10/10 would crap my pants again.
Most interesting entry I've seen so far! Love the whole concept and execution.
THIS GAME IS NOT WHAT IT SEAMS
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T REWIND
DON'T REWIND
DON'T REWIND?
REWIND?
REWIND!
OPEN GAME. REWIND.
wowww I played through the first time without rewinding and thought it was pretty funny. And then opened it up again to see what it did and was surprised. Really nice, I like how in that case f1 is basically needed and there's sort of a meta game. That was the only thing in the game that allowed me to close it without it freezing though (it didn't close nicely when I just played normally). Nice job and surprise!
