xD That game looks like someone's drugtrip, I absolutely love idea and artstyle of this game. Sounds are great too, love this voices and background music so relaxing. I don't like quests, but this project made me laugh, I believe that when you release it, you will make really cool quest-game
Good graphics, I had fun with the voices. I wasn't able to solve the mistery, I got killed every time.
Man I killed so many innocents haha. Could quite work out how to solve the case, but enjoyed the ride, very trippy game. Love your voiceovers, especially your sea lion guy.
I would recommend adding some screenshots to your page, it will get more traction that way :)
I had fun with it! Played through 3 times and every time I did get a different culprit :). Voiceovers rock - especially Turtella! And the characters are just great - they look nice and are amusing.
Could not figure out the way to interact with the house with an eye but maybe you just can't interact with it. Also, all the items you find in the world (except for one, obviously ;)) seem useless? At least I could not find any use for them.
Found one mini-bug: after you finish the mystery, you are presented with end screen. The "Return to main menu" button on that screen doesn't work.
It's a nice piece of a jam game. Good work!
The game looks, sounds, and feels very good. I love the cute art style and the dialogs, there are two things that you might want to consider adding: - Better game instructions, I couldn't understand how to make up my mind about who's the murderer based on the items and the dialogs - Make fewer things to check
Overall, it's a solid and well-polished game, good job! :D
OH MY GOD HE'S DEAD!! In all seriousness, cool game, I liked the art, good job.
By far the best looking game I have played in this jam. The characters and the world looked really beautiful. Voices were pretty cool too. I didn't find the killer even though I tried killing everyone. :thinking: There could also be less checking because sometimes finding the gun took just too long. Really nice job overall though. :smile:
@kovalok Thanks a lot for playing our game and giving great feedback! About not finding the killer tho, every time you get a "good" or "bad" ending the murderer will be picked again at random (for replay value), so that's most likely why you didn't catch him or her although you tried every character^
But when you get killed and sent back in time the murderer and item locations will always be same, so you can make progress each cycle. They will only change once the loop is broken.
Great graphics. Well done!
Hey there, I played the game, and it was fascinating! The graphic looks beautiful. I liked the music, it's relaxing, and if you add the fact that the murderer is among you, it balances the feeling. The fact that it's not easy to find the murderer, makes all the challenge of the game, and that's one of the main reasons that I like the game! The controls are very comfortable, you don't get to see a lot of point and click controls like that!
To sum up, that game is great, and I enjoyed it!
Not a fan of click and move type of games but certainly loved the art style. Voice acting was a fun addition. Too bad I couldn't prevent the hunter from shooting me down. (is there a way to solve this?)
@arad-hamidsamiee There surely is! Your goal is to break the loop by finding the murder weapon, figuring out who the killer is/was, and putting them out of their misery. But yeah, the ingame instruction are quite unclear as we ran out of time, sorry about that :(
And thanks for your feedback, greatly appreciated
Leopardo Dafishi?! Awesome. The Voice acting was strange but funny. I couldn't solve the game but still enjoyed it.
Interesting game! The visuals are hilarious and somewhat surreal. Voiceovers are also cool.
I guess collision boxes and interaction with environment can be improved for smoother gameplay.
Loved the quirky characters and the voice acting was a totally unexpected and nice touch. Had a hard time figuring it out but I think that may just be me :laughing:.
The art, sound, and design aspects of the game were all really well done. Great entry!
I loved it, I don't know why but still loud = funny to me in this case.
Hey, cool little game, though I had difficulty figuring out what to do. Wish you were on the stream to have helped... Anyways, I streamed it, here's the vid if you wanna watch it; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/765076622
Interesting use of the theme. The graphics and audio are great. After the victory screen it would be interesting to see what were the hints, that the selected character was the murderer. P.S. Is the look of the lion based on Max Stirner?
@cerins Thanks for the feedback! :) I definetely agree. There would have been so much to add, especially to make the game and everything inside it a lot clearer. Sadly just ran out of time as usually. ;D
And unfortunately it isn't, actually i was asking everyone for ideas to make the final character, and my dad proposed that we'd make a Leopard-Whale, that has suffered from climate change. =D
Very fun game with charming visuals and 10/10 best voice acting i've ever heard in the jam. Well done on the entry!
I did not understand how to confront someone as the killer. I found three objects so I guess the missing one can tell who is the killer, or maybe the one who tells me loving to eat exotic birds, but without knowing how to go then… :sweat_smile: Appart that, nice graphics and sounds! *edit : OK, I gave it more time and found both gun and killer :smile:*
The art and music makes you think that this is a children's game, the fact that you literally *get shot* not so much ;) Honestly, the game has this weird but wonderful charm to it that I'm not sure I could replicate. And I like it! Luckily I found the gun pretty quickly, I could imagine that searching for it could get a little tedious otherwise
Loved the voice acting and a cast of funky characters! A nice little game, maybe some tutorial would be nice, I was able to break the loop, It's hilariously easy to find the killer, somehow they all want to eat you if they're the killer XD
Sometimes it was hard to tell where we cloud calk and where we couldn't, Had to click multiple times to walk at times.
Congratulations to the entire team and all the best!
Had a blast playing your game! The voice acting, multiple-choice dialogue, scrambling to find the gun before I got killed!.. it all came together to make a really cool game.
I'm still not sure how to progress through the game, (whether it depends on what evidence I hold during conversations or my responses) but I managed to find out who the murderer was in the end. (after killing the wrong people and needing to start over a couple times, haha :sweat_smile:) My killer was Pocket-Rat! :rat:
Overall it was a really fun and unique entry, you guys should be proud! :smile_cat:
@thewustache @kaafirookie @stinkykitty
Ty for feedback c:
This game is so good! Super fun and smart, I love the graphics / audio / voice acting and just how unique everything is. I also like the fact that you get thrown in without any explanation and that the mechanic of the game itself is really simple, it just makes you want to explore and meet the quirky cast. I will be honest that I didn't get super far, got killed evertime I tried but I enjoyed every second nonetheless. Still, I had a lot of fun and this is overall a solid and unique take on the theme. Well done. :)
