Web version doesn't load for me, downloaded version is fine.

I really liked the mechanic of the game. Level design was decent and I also had fun. Good work!

The html version does not load.

Cool idea, using the spacebar for specific interactions that loop is a neat vibe. Good job!

dedicave 2020-10-05 22:54

Great game! Maybe you could have been clearer as to when the loop ends and starts again, but overall it's fun, with a nice mood, and lovely graphics. Good work!

This game is super fun! There are of course things to improve upon such as saving the state of the game and perhaps a gentler learning curve (though I admit I suck at videogames), but still it is an impressive game for the time given to create it. I instantly fell in love with the quirky PC and all the lovely original sprites used in this submission. The particles, lights and intentional glitches give the game a really professional touch and are the cherry on top of a well constructed project, good job!

A great game! I personally loved all the computer jokes :D The only criticism I have is that the main menu background is a bit weird and doesn't seem to fit, but apart from that it's great.

This was really fun! I loved peter, he was a very fun character! I did encounter a small bug where I got the box stuck on the other side of the door (reset fixed this). Very nice job!

Nice Job, i like the concept. I think you could make the level design a little more clear, some space are a leap of faith. overall great job!!

nailuj29-gaming 2020-10-06 21:46

I loved the concept in this game. Also, does Peter Carlson's last name have anything to do with Dani's Karlson?

vphyre 2020-10-06 22:16

So much fun. I liked the mechanics, the graphics, and the experience in general. Success.

fiwon123 2020-10-06 22:17

Good concept and effects haha

I didnt see problems in gameplay, the controls worked very well.

tebiondl 2020-10-07 00:13

@nailuj29-gaming There is no conexion between both Carlson, although I also watch dani's videos and know the game.

Well I was going to catch up on sleep tonight after the busy weekend of jamming, but then I started playing Peter Carlson... This is super fun, and I don't usually have patience with games that I have to die and try over and over so much. This is a lot of content for a jam, too. I like the little animations, and I like the bricks. It's a good ramp-up of difficulty. I actually almost gave up on it at first because I didn't understand the actions (what the symbols meant, and that walking isn't an action though jumping is), but I'm glad I figured it out. This is a great game!

I liked your game my congratulations, I also did one if you want to know, and give me your feedback I am very grateful, this is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/resurrection

pink-shard-games 2020-10-07 11:10

Thank you all for your kind feedback. This is my first gamejam and it feels amazing to see the ammount of comments we're getting!

kpedatte 2020-10-07 13:06

Good job, it's a great little game.

josephdevelops 2020-10-07 13:49

Super cute. Will play more.

roikku 2020-10-07 13:51

For a game with such polished dialogue, it still fails to clearly show the core game mechanics. Consider using something else than text to show the mechanics properly, like a couple of tutorial level sections. Great stuff otherwise!! Cute!

fermingimpel 2020-10-07 22:19

Very Interesting game! I love the art and the sound when PC is walking

anocturnaldream 2020-10-08 00:59

It took me a while to figure out what was happening with the game mechanics, but when I finally did I was having fun. Really great graphics and idea.

caeonosphere 2020-10-08 01:30

An interesting mechanic of being given a set of inputs and having to figure out how to use them. A think a slightly zoomed-out perspective might have been helpful: there are a lot of blind jumps that mean starting over if you don't get them just right on the first try.

overlook-studios 2020-10-08 02:51

Really like the mechanic you guys thought of! I can see the potential the difficulty of a puzzle platformer with this. I liked the visual effects you guys added for death and the dashes, made it feel really satisfying (w/ the sound effect too!). I will say though that some of the sfx in the game was very loud and kind of jarring ex: speech and dying. Great job it was fun to play and interesting to see the thought process for the puzzles of the level.

tebiondl 2020-10-08 12:21

@overlook-studios Thanks for the comment, I am very proud of the sfx, especially the speech one. The volume of the sounds have not being tested, we just slected a default volume for all of them because we were running out of time.

curly 2020-10-08 12:51

Interesting mechanics, great graphics and arts, this game will go to many peoples!

enad96 2020-10-08 14:19

Great humour, art and a really creative and unique interpretation of the theme.

shambles 2020-10-08 18:24

I enjoyed the conversation by peter quite a lot! the platforming was pretty solid and i liked the sound effects!

stephenwhoskins 2020-10-08 22:36

This was an awesome game! Great job! Very cute characters. Great dialog. Great sound effects. Great effects actually. And this was unique. I like how I'm looking ahead to what my next operations are going to be.

asimov 2020-10-09 08:00

Best game i played this Jam so far. everything is just lovely about this game. Controls are a bit chunky though...

life-lich 2020-10-09 12:59

very cute and good looking art, the "voice"/bib go very annoying really fast for mi and i think it would be great if there where a way to see where you could fall without die, example place water at the holes where you would die. It was a smart way to use the looping mechanic to turn a platformer in to a puzzle hybrid. overall this is a greet entry.

somogy 2020-10-10 19:27

Game very well done, I liked the fun provided, good job!

aune 2020-10-11 19:47

A very interesting gamedesign idea with quite funny dialogues!

And congratulations for the level design!

Among a small suggestion of improvement it would be a "zoom out" of the map to "apprehend" the path more by reflection (in my opinion)

gamescodedogs 2020-10-20 15:54

Great concept, I had a lot of fun :)

2020-10-27 20:32

Awesome!

2022-07-11 09:56

That's an interesting idea, and even though I'm not a huge fan of such games, I actually like the fact that you're spending your health bar for each loop iteration.

2022-07-11 11:12

I'm not into platformers as well, but the idea is indeed something new, that's cool. Of course, if I had to choose, I'd pick to play any shooter instead, but it's great for a beginner for sure. Hopefully, one day I'll read about your games on cyber sport news on [Cyber-Sport](https://cyber-sport.io/) or any other e-sports blog because you definitely have the potential, so keep going!
