Cool game! The art's very nice and the game's quite fun to play. You could have maybe added in a few more conditions because the game was very short to play. But, good job!

interesting narrative stuff, also like the art style. Would love some sounds! The title music is great but would have preffered a silent title and in game music
@digitallimestone @jonahsenzel Thanks for playing!!
@jonahsenzel Sounds were the very next thing to be added, I swear! I even already had laser sounds and sparking sounds ready :disappointed_relieved:
Thanks for your op on music, I wasn't sure if it would feel right in-game~
@jabdownsmash post jam version!
@jonahsenzel :smiley:
I found this method of storytelling really fun to work with, I really hope I can expand on this. Just a few sound effects would help me push the story so so much further!
Interesting concept ! I also worked with hand drawn graphics :smile: Your game would need a little bit more polish (background music, better treatment for the drawings, more effects and stuffs on the screen maybe ?). The narration is great !
I quite liked the story line, very well written. And the art style is really nice as well. I would say, though, that there is a lack of audio-visual feedback. When I hit the flame I don't know what is happening, did I hit it or not, but it is a 48 hr jam so that doesn't give much time. Also, the gameplay loop gets a bit stiff after a while without a sort of lose state. In general, though, it's a pretty great and innovative game. All in all, the game is well made.
@munmungames @gamegenesis Thanks for playing~
@gamegenesis Ah! Great feedback, thank you. It seems like it might not be clear that "simulation resetting" means that you lost and it's starting over. I think some visual progress bar would go a long way.
@munmungames Yeah hand drawn graphics!! :hand_splayed: So much more fun to split attention between a keyboard and some physical media.
i like the graphic and sound, but i didnt understand if there a way to win
The graphics are great! I think subtitles would be nice, but I undestand they probably weren't a priority :D. The gameplay is simple but fun, although, like you mentioned earlier, a progressbar would be a good addition. A great entry nonetheless!
@kontroman Thanks for playing! It seems like it's unclear how the X button works. The anti-matter stream (smoke trail) coming off the flame is what generates the win condition, so you need to keep it wide without letting it overload the system.
@munkkeli Thanks for playing~
Love the hand drawn assets! :)
Really fun little game, could do with some metric on how 'well' you did (time to completion?) though!
Really love the visuals; very dynamic and reactive! I'd never heard of Nima, but will definitely give it a go after seeing this.
Great work!
Thanks for playing!
@pke1029 :blush:
@chloeofarroyo I'm glad you found it fun enough to want to be scored :grin:
@qazikol https://rive.app I recommend it! It's like a free version of Spriter Pro with a more modern interface. If you're a Unity dev though the repo is a bit outdated. Feel free to hit me at me@aaron.work if you want some tips.
@jabdownsmash Thanks for the heads up on the Unity repo! I might well take you up on those tips!
Loved the visual style! Cool that you came in to the jam with a tool in mind and made it work
I like your graphics and voices :) I didn't quite get what to do at first, but I eventually figured it out. Best game I've played so far!
Thanks for playing!
@rmheuer thanks for such kind words :joy:
I like the art style quite a bit. I think the game relies a little too much audio, perhaps captions could work? I did have to play a few times to understand the game.
great concept!!
Hi! I'm here from the stream (planet_vano). Thanks for the feedback on my game, I figured I would give you some feedback on yours as well!
Overall I really like the concept. I think the back and forth management of the two controls could have benefited from being a little harder to keep up. I also think that a few simple sound effects could have really helped the immersion of the game. But all in all, I really enjoyed the short little concept there! Nice work!
@vano @nekoruma thanks for playing!
Okay, what was that ? :) Very original entry :) You art is so different that I maybe like it :) Simple game with simple goal seen in many games. Big thumbs up for audio :)
Thanks for bringing your game by my stream to play! If you'd like to watch again, the highlight is now at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/603497059
