The interactive tutorial was well executed. Good sound, kudos for providing voice acting. I think there was some influence from Among Us? Wish it was longer though. Bruh!

glorbax 2021-04-27 02:23

neat little platformer. I like how you guided the player on each button/interaction while also building a story/world. great work

ethanthopkins 2021-04-27 02:25

Jumping and moving didn't feel natural. Like i would move and try to jump and the character wouldnt jump. I like the sense of humor in the game. On screen tutorials were good. the bruh cracked me up

cireneikual222464 2021-04-27 02:26

I managed to die in the bunker, and got a "bruh" :) Great art!

kirby 2021-04-27 02:27

@ethanthopkins i will update controls to feel it more better.

maximegammaitoni 2021-04-27 02:27

so cute little game ! lov the ambiance !

kr4ft3r 2021-04-27 02:27

Gorgeously animated character, full of energy. You are on the right track with graphics and atmosphere in general. I couldn't go past the first underground scene though (reaching the wires without "bruh" dying). After few attempts I clicked Exit instead of Restart by accident, and then when I went into back underground the controls stopped working. Any tips? (presuming there is a puzzle to solve)

kirby 2021-04-27 02:30

@kr4ft3r hmm, idk . Try to restart itch io page.

chris1919 2021-04-27 02:31

The art was great! Does Nick have any tips and tricks? His mustache is outta this world

cheese-team 2021-04-27 02:32

Well-crafted, if short. Visuals were great.

rawb 2021-04-27 02:32

Really cool little game. The art and animation is amazing

1minatur 2021-04-27 02:48

That art is really nice! I think you hold the player's hand a little bit too much though. Rather than telling me what to do I'd love some type of visual confirmation (for example, electricity in the water, but once I cut the wire, the electricity disappears). I liked it though!

ohmikron 2021-04-27 02:57

beautiful artworks and smooth gameplay for an experimental piece!

sugarsugarsugar 2021-04-27 03:03

Nice job!

tuvalu 2021-04-27 03:05

The graphics and music are amazing! Sad is a bit on the short end. I think you can also tone down the guiding and let players explore a bit for themselves.

smelly-games 2021-04-27 03:21

Did I die or did it end?

mika314 2021-04-27 03:47

I wish the game would be longer.

freixo 2021-04-27 15:08

A short but cool experience, congrats on the submission, really cool pixel art and I hope you keep making games!

steelax 2021-04-27 19:06

This game was done by an artist and it shows. the game itself had a few bugs in it but what is showcased well here is the art and sound. Both done by the user for the Jam. they would certainly make a good pairing with a programmer for the next LD to make a decent Pixel game!

jjcp 2021-04-27 19:17

Looks awesome, I wish it was longer!

vimlark 2021-04-27 19:29

This came out fantastic! Thank you for the amazing image of me. If only I looked that awesome!

doctortm 2021-04-28 00:08

Nice art! great sound! Good jam! :)

peace-of-cake-games 2021-04-28 06:44

Very nice and peaceful! My only complaint is that it's such a nice game and I want to play more of it!

Nice job using Construct 3, I'm always happy to see good C3 games!

roikku 2021-04-28 07:50

Beautiful music and voiceacting. Unfortunately quite a short game. Amazing art though!

vsi 2021-04-28 08:14

the game seems a lil unfinished, nice graphics, it was good if you finished it, gj!

kirby 2021-04-28 08:53

@vsi thanks for feedback, i focused on graphics and forgot about gameplay -_-

chrisap 2021-04-28 21:01

The art is absolutely incredible, the portraits are amazing. Simple game with a couple among us style mini games. Overall very impressive for a single person to make all of this in just a couple days! <3

bajtix 2021-04-28 22:22

All the "art stuff" (music and graphics) is beautiful! The only thing I think is a little weird is how the pixel art has many different resolutions, but I guess that it is a style decision. The gameplay is not really that interesting however... There is just not a lot to do, but this game is still really nice, it's pretty chill.

villanelle 2021-04-28 22:29

The tutorial is very instructive, the gameplay is pleasant, really really liked it. Oh, and the pixel art is just beautiful! Loved the main character visuals and the environment. I would only change the music for something more in sync with the vibes of the game. Nice to see another Construct 3 game devs around here! Congrats to the team.

domsse-interactive 2021-04-29 11:31

The game looks beautiful. The sound is also nice. Short but appealing implementation. I actually wanted to keep playing. Waiting for an update. :P

jonrei 2021-04-29 17:17

Would love to see more of this. Great visuals!

okamit 2021-04-29 19:54

Visuals are great, especially the outdoors backround and the cabin and the portraits, and the explosion is really well animated! Only complaint here is that the character has different pixel dimensions, personally I think it looks a lot better when all the pixels are of the same size.

One bug I found is that one playtrough I was stuck on the moving elevator after going down into the bunker from outside.

Good work, I hope you keep working on it post-jam!

saintchristopher777 2021-04-29 21:54

Very cool art and music! Obviously not much gameplay there, as the showcase was on those elements. Great work!

simpathey 2021-04-30 03:17

Very great start to a game, the art was very polished.

azakharov 2021-04-30 08:12

Great pixel art work. Game is very small but your work on graphic is wonderful.

tommytheitguy 2021-04-30 14:16

Short but very atmospheric game. The music is soft and beautiful, fits the game very well. I enjoyed playing this very much!

koalaura 2021-04-30 17:18

I love pixel art games with some sort of narrative! The graphics are amazing and the music is very nice. The 'bruh' sound made me laugh. I wish it was longer, I enjoyed playing!

fabula-rasa 2021-04-30 23:20

Oh, that was very short. I was very surprised when I fixed the oxygen, and it just ended :laughing: There is really not much to say about the gameplay itself, as there is so little of it. However, jumping did feel well-designed - not too floaty, not too high, responsive. So that is already a good platformer start.

I really liked the environment art and the portrait, nicely done. I think the main character could use a bit more detailing, as he looked "underdone" in comparison to the environment. Music is pleasant and ponderous.

tucan 2021-05-01 04:08

This is the beginning for a really nice game! I really liked the graphics and the music! The controls felt just right! Great job!

meritcoding 2021-05-01 09:38

Feedback - Cool game - Liked the dialogue system - Liked the tasks

666savior 2021-05-01 18:51

Nice atmosphere and good pixel art. Was surprisingly short, would definitely play more if it was longer

lrvstudios 2021-05-01 19:56

Wow! Great intro cutscene, nice concept, neat mechanics, excellent music choice, nice dialogues and a wonderful "bruh"😂

Had a little problem with the 2nd floor (oxigen hold button), but after refresh itch page, all seen to work pretty fine.

Loved it! Great work.

charliegray 2021-05-01 22:44

Okay, the game is pretty short, but I think that was not the focus here.

The art and sound however is simply great! And what little game there is, is pretty good as well. The "Bruh" sound effect on death is also really funny.

willops 2021-05-01 22:46

Neat game! Pretty short but I liked it, great graphics

kiptok 2021-05-01 22:54

nice graphics and atmosphere. this game has a cool mood and the music fits well

tris250 2021-05-01 23:08

The game is very interesting, the graphics and music are great, the game mechanics are great fun, I don't regret my time spent with him.

roolow 2021-05-01 23:31

Yeah I echo what was said, this was an intriguing, cozy adventure style game with exceptional art, animation, and style. I just want more!

kroltan 2021-05-02 15:05

As everyone has said before, the art is great, but watch out for the pixel resolution, it kind of breaks the façade when you mix different pixel sizes in the same game. That being said, the ambience holds up very well with the music, and that little delay after you jump into the bunker.

I admire the voice acting, too, and the death sound cracked me up.

But the game is a bit tiny and with all due respect seems a bit unfinished. Like, Boris has a weird dream, goes to his flooded bunker, then what? Was it just a dream? Is he stuck in his bunker that has no stairs for when he runs out of power for the elevator? Did the bunker work? Even a textual ending with a bit of closure would have been interesting.

nsadie 2021-05-05 20:37

As a test of your art skills I would say this was very successful! There are some inconsistency issues with pixel resolution (if that is the right word), but the overall look is great with some very nice animation.

I wish there was a little more game here as I would love to explore your world.

wizard-sino 2021-05-08 17:36

short, but nice graphics.

orb 2021-05-09 21:26

Overall atmosphere and graphics are nice and inviting...

ausstein 2021-05-13 15:00

Hi,

Here is my Playthrough of your game enjoy!

Just FYI I got a copyright infringement claim on the video for the background music. This is not a problem since my channel is not monetized anyway. But make sure you have the rights to the music you use :)

kirby 2021-05-14 21:25

Just FYI too, i wroted music myself, lol how u got it? .....

birdwards 2021-05-16 01:30

Thanks for submitting your game to my stream! I played it yesterday. You can watch me play it here (I start yours at 0:01:05):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsMPyOopzzU

Since you were asking about it, I got copyright claimed too. The music is a 2015 track called "Expressions of the Mind" by Shady Dave. I did some digging and found it here:

https://freesound.org/s/325647/

It looks like the license would allow you to use the song anyway if you gave credit, but please don't claim you wrote it yourself. I compared your first name (according to your itch.io page) to the name on Shady Dave's PayPal account, so I know you are not the same person.

kirby 2021-05-16 07:47

@birdwards thanks for playing <3

der-finski 2021-05-16 12:40
