I'm not entirely sure what I was meant to do. I did manage to bring the child his baloon, so I imagine the rest are similar fetch-quests, although getting that one in particular took most of the time. Now that I write this out though, you never intended anyone to even have a chance of getting it on the first try did you? You wanted to ensure they had to use the loop ;)
Definitely not something I would've thought of, the mood and audio were good, graphics were simplistic but served there purpose. I'd call this one a success!

@bradyg Yeah, if you get them all first try, there is no loop :p By the way, maybe you should finish it, it does have an ending.

Made it to the end! Took a few tries to memorize the locations. Just so you're aware, it seems like each loop there's more cars, making crossing the road trickier after a few. Also, I built up enough loops that it seems my FPS was dropping severely, and it ultimately crashed. Beat it the next time opening with a clean start. Nice graphical effects with the crosshatched shadows.

... But the cop said nobody would get hurt... :(
It is a very nice entry. Even with simple game mechanics, it is nice wandering around just to appreciate the pen-drawn-like models and the music. It just missed a few more sound effects and the audio would be perfect.
It's difficult in 48h to actually create a good mood, but you sir achieved it.
Nice entry !

@eriku Thank you for your feedback. I have fixed that bug. No more crashes, low fps or more cars than intended :p
@rolly Thank you! :)
Really liked the graphics. Even though they were simplistic, they really helped set the mood alongside the music. I can definitely see how the message at the end ties in with being "stuck in a loop". Really interesting take on the theme

@thezingthing Thank you :)
It was really tricky! But It was fun and awesome! If u add some more quirky audio! This will be the best game I have seen!

@flashcash0402 definitely more audio would be good, Technically I still have 18 hours to add more stuff :p
@lestat thats awesome.. lets ace it then

Nice game. I wish there were actual people instead of capsules. Still nice work!
Best game I've seen on this jam! Despite the small lag. I wish I'd saved her.
Nice game. I liked the visuals and the story.
I felt the time limit is very narrow. As if the only way to win is by speedrunning it. The automatic panning of camera gave me headache, moving where I didn't want it to on its own.

@flopo @sergei201613 @coderaurus Thank you. I have fixed the automatic panning issue. Also, the reason it's too little time it's so the player doesn't get out of the loop so easily (especially on the first try, It wouldn't be any loop :p).
Very nice graphics, love the background. Would get run over by a car again. Amazing work for 48 hours (::

Looks good, i loaded it up but a little movement with the mouse and it does a 360, i have very low fps on my computer. Do you handle the physics in FixedUpdate or Update?

The Audio was amazing, so was the mood and graphics~
It was fairly tricky but I enjoyed the atmosphere of the game, and yeah you definitely nailed the mood ngl. I also see that you used those beans in your previous ludum dare ^^

2020-10-05 12:18
I expected the ending to be honest. However, for the game, nice beans, nice shadows (damn, they're so good), and the music, the mood of the game is so good. Congrats.
Also, teaching your people where the brake is could save here i think.

@dakke I dont handle any physics myself. It's unity internal. If it's slow on your pc, it's most likely because of the volumetric lights.
@lexyvil @danial-jumagaliyev @vollfeiw Thank you :)
I like the mood you set in this game, also the art style is very different but works. I would like an exit button so i don't have to alt-f4 and an option to skip the screen in between the loops. But this is a very will done game
very interesting take on the theme. It was kind of hard but eventually made it to the end. More audio would solidify the experience!!
Very beautiful game, a wonderful take on the message. That's definitely something everyone can relate to, being stuck in a loop reflecting on something after something bad happens. Your game really nailed the atmosphere on that, it's great.
I think the first thing I want to mention is the color, the mostly black and white palette really helped accentuate the important things with color (especially the red objects). I also really liked the scratchy (sorry if that's the wrong word) texture of the geometry in the town, that gave it a very picturebook-esque feeling. Finally, what really rounded up the atmosphere was the music piece, which added a very somber mood to it all. I think the ending worked well with the overall message, I think if you had shoehorned in a happy ending it may have undermined the overall message, so I think the ending you put in was a good call. All in all, great job, very well-done take on the theme!

Really beautiful and touching story. Visuals and sounds are awesome too. I enjoyed playing this game

Nice submission! I think the time limit is a little bit too tight as it was a bit frustrating to me to barely make it even though I knew what to do in the 2nd loop. Art is simple but it works for the mood.
lestat

Thank you.
The art and the sounds are beautiful :3 and the story part from the game feels so interesting, the fact that this game takes you into a time loop adds a layer of fun. My only problems are with the performance, maybe my computer its not that good, second, the camera movement feels a little sensitive, makes it a little hard to look around.
The atmosphere of the game is great.

@spiderhead20 Thank you for your feedback. I have made the game more performant, also decreased sensitivity.
@bobparis75 Thank you.
Nice work !
Characters have a simple design but very cute ! There is some glitch on houses 3d models. The player seems too slow to me.
I enjoyed play it.

That's deep. I like the theme and overall mood of the game, the ending is great. There are some visual glitches like flickering polygons and cars stuck together. But overall it's a great and emotional game.

Took me 2 or 3 loops before getting it right but it was great, I especially liked the music
lestat
2020-10-06 00:40
Thank you :)
I really like the game, the movement is very smooth and the music fits very well. After several tries I managed to save her! Maybe next time reduce the light intensity. I won't how many times I got hit by a car. Let's say nobody saved me :D
Nice mood, cool graphics, I really enjoyed this entry!

Really great job with the atmosphere :) Even with little capsule models they fit the mood of the world very well. Nice submission!

Nicely done! Great job! Visuals are pretty good and audio is great!
Really good game and art, but it lag so hard sometimes, and when you loses and play again, it uses A LOT of RAM (12gb in one moment in my pc)
Congrats :)

Thank you :)
Really cool and interesting graphics. Also very moody! The transitions timing after timeout also worked really well.
I tried quite a few times before I gave up, but maybe I'm just bad a this.
The mood is ... soothing but sad, very nice game

Beautiful game, nice atmosphere. I wish there is more time available to collect all the things. Really well made!
lestat
2020-10-06 21:29
Thanks :)
The story was pretty touching and the mood and general vibe of the game is nice, though I think the texturing on the environment was out of place with the simplistic models.
Other than that, it's a short, sweet game that gets its point across and doesn't try to be anything else but that. I like it :)

Thanks.
Wonderful game, and I didn't expect to be moved by that ending!
Wow, what an experience, very cool shades, too. nice piano track. game itself needs polishing, but who cares when the narration is this strong? picturing real loops in real lives. Also loved the models! :thumbsup:
very pretty game! sadly it was so pretty that my computer froze a lot while playing :(

Hi, Thank you for spending the time to vote for mine and in return, I seeked yours. I really like the feel of the game and the time you sharing an experience with us in this medium. Very touching. Even though using primatives objects, you were able to bring them to life, give them life. Well done! Thank you. Does this experience reflect something you are going through may I ask?
lestat

@bumdag Not enterily. I haven't lost a loved one (death), but my crush pretty much just ignores me u.u If you have time, check my LD46 entry, it is more accurate to that. Thank you for the feedback.
