Awesome game! Clever mechanics!

I'll admit, "You got killed by your zombie looper clone" was not an expression I expected to hear today. Loved the mechanics, maybe I'm just bad but easy mode was a lot more enjoyable to explore with. Well done!

Nice idea! A bit frustrated at the beginning by being stuck on the wall when walking near the house, died several times

I couldn't figure out the over-powered berry combo and kept losing. Is there a way to sustain life on such a harsh planet? Am I just supposed to eventually die, always? I was kind of hoping to find a berry combo that would give me a lot of life, and make me feel good, and explore the world. The controls were ok, and the art was simple but effective. I just wish I could have figured out what it was that the game really wanted me to do as far as mixing.

The shadow of myself being the zombies was a cool effect which made me think about where I want to go, to make for an easier path for my future self. Nice trick!

Thank you for the game.

Nice game!

Nice concept, didnt understand the shadow.

Wow nice concept. Took 2,3 tries to figure out what is going on. And then played far too much :smile:. My only issue is when there are to many barriers (like 40+) it is pretty difficult to mix them. I would love an option to cancel a choice, because when you misclick when they are so small you are basically screwed. Also this is not big but when you are mixing you are still moving and this leads to being hit by the shadow some times. Overall I had great fun. I didn't try easy mode. I had great fun. I will actually play one more now :smile:

Edit: I managed to run it out of memory :smile: So i went for smaller combos 2020-10-15.png 2020-10-15 (1).png

Great fun, great fun, I am going to bed now :smile:

An interesting concept of a game, but a bit too confusing for my taste.

So many concepts made it into this game :D I'm glad I don't live in this world, this was very hostile :P I'm impressed by the sheer number of things you managed to add - from the clones to berries within berries within berries!

Your game is cute, so I hope you'll get a score! Well done

The berries fractal was confusing at first, but once you get it it's quite funny ! The main thing that frustrated me is that I was still moving while combining my berries, leaving home and dying of radiation by accident. Some simple sound effects would have been nice too.

Cool game! Also difficult. 😅 Was fun to try and get increasingly better scores. The zombie mechanic is a cool use of the theme. Graphics are sweet too, nice colours and lack of shading really works. Could have used some music, but jams are jams and there isn't always time. Controllers work great for this, arrow keys I don't think would've felt as good. Nice job!

masaru 2020-10-26 18:17

Very cool concept ! Very well done, the only thing that I'll change is the fact that the player keeps moving when you're trying to melt berries, this gets me killed every single time and is very frustrating. Outside of that, very cool game !

jk5000 2020-10-26 18:27

The idea is good but also a bit confusing, and for me the game needs a bit more of a tutorial. But overall is this a fine and interesting little jam game.

Nice game. Interesting idea. I never figured out the rules of mixing though. Often got the radiation killed you message when I was busy mixing berries. That was annoying. Also collision at glancing angles would be better to slide rather than stop you outright. Died many times being stuck against the door edges.

Very interesting idea, I had trouble understanding it at first but then I read the instructions again and I managed to make it so painfully slow that I had to stop :) You’re having some performance issues when mixing a lot of berries ;)

Cool game! Would have preferred to see more time on a single mechanic rather than 2/3 that do not get developed passed their initial function. I think this could have been a more focused and interesting game if it was either a berry-based puzzle game, or a running around in radiation with zombies game. Well done!
