interesting concept!

thetimesweeper 2021-04-27 02:29

awesome and creative. totally cheated the last level by taking a screenshot and it was still hard haha

starling 2021-04-27 02:53

wow love the graphics and the little animations and voice acting and music fit really well too :D was extremely amused playing this game, theme / idea was great!

macibacsi56 2021-04-27 13:12

A very interesting concept! Great game :)

dynamix 2021-04-27 13:45

Awesome game! Loved the art and humor. Are you supposed to respawn with only 1/4 of your battery?

vincent-abel-grimalt 2021-04-27 16:24

@refrax295 You respawn with a minimal battery if you died with an empty battery yep ;) thanks for the feedback ;)

jes-draws 2021-04-27 18:06

that was pretty fun. The art style is very gravity falls.

lepoulet 2021-04-27 18:08

Concept is cool. I like the humor in the visual. great job

vincent-abel-grimalt 2021-04-27 18:09

@jes-draws i would say spot on :)

maybeagoose 2021-04-27 18:09

sometimes it's hard to stop

skaminska 2021-04-27 18:12

I like the idea of your game. Great job!

lelulagames 2021-04-27 18:12

Needs more batteries, or a little battery boost at the completion of every level. I started jumping into holes on purpose to get that little boost so i could see what was going on, all because the spiral killed me.

kooky 2021-04-27 18:14

Nice! I like the balance of risk vs. reward with the limited flashlight, but trying to trust your memory regarding the hole positions.

Great presentation with regard to graphics, and bubbly sock-related transitions between scenes.

It's also good that you get a bit of battery life back after failing, but as long as you don't fail, you won't automatically get your battery refilled. A nice way to balance the difficulty!

The art was really good and gave it a really nice and consistent theme. The audio was a little weird as the main sounds were all pretty different from each other which made it a little jarring at times. The flashlight is a really interesting mechanic but it was pretty annoying to deal with how little amount of power you had remaining just a couple of levels after getting a battery and dying just to be able to scout out the level a bit more was very tedious. I think maybe having a cone which you could see would be interesting instead of just showing the whole level.

Kinda hard if you used all your batteries on first level. But cool design tho.

guladam 2021-04-27 18:47

It's always good to see interesting takes on the theme. I liked how you interpreted it and created a humorous context with good artwork and sound design. The intro was amazing, and you even included a skip button, so that's a big plus. I enjoyed navigating through the inside of the washing machine. My only advice would be to include more batteries at start, otherwise it can quickly turn into a trial and error style gameplay.

keithswanger 2021-04-27 22:13

Socks with faces... what an insane and hilarious concept. Great art. The puzzles are well made, I managed to beat it in about 15 minutes. The battery charge level persisting between levels was quite punishing. I had to beat a level with 0 battery charge, which was quite frustrating, although admittedly satisfying once I finally got it.

Nice job to everyone involved!

arancutter 2021-04-27 22:22

Had fun with this. It's a really amusing take on the theme :smiley: It reminds me of some old classic games.

I had some trouble having to memorize the patterns, though I quickly realized I needed to just feather the flashlight button. It seems like you should start each level with battery life since you regain it when losing anyway (a bug maybe?)

Really creative concept. Great job with it.

I really wanted to get to the end of this game. It took me about 10minutes. Very nice that the game allowed you to retry levels freely and reset your battery. Even a bit unexpectedly kind that I didn't have to get the battery a second time if I died on a battery level. So very well made and planned out game. It took me the longest time though to discover that I could see the pods bouncing :laughing: but once I got that, it made them quite manageable too. I had fun playing.

msipp27 2021-04-29 01:50

i love that your character turns into kool-aid man at the end of a level

bereg 2021-04-29 16:02

That's exactly how I picture the insides of a washing machine. The game is great, it was fun to play, although the flashlight is a bit too demanding. Maybe you can add more batteries on the levels. Overall, the game is nicely done and fun to play. Great job!

nandelind 2021-04-29 21:19

This is a cool idea, and I like the animations! It's a would be more fun in my opinion if it were not so hard (I gave up on the last level). The background music and drip sounds were really nice, but I didn't like the loud sound that comes with the "oh yeah" when you reach the stairs each time; it didn't seem to fit with the rest of the sounds, or feel like a positive achievement.

meritcoding 2021-05-01 10:56

Very cool game Audio was nice

noobdude 2021-05-01 11:03

This was an overall pleasant experience, towards the end the levels became a bit to hard considering how many obstacles there were and the battery didnt respawn, other than that, i had a lot of fun, the sound fx made me laugh.

florianduf 2021-05-01 13:33

This cool idear. I like puzzle game and you create one very interesting. It's hard, very hard, we have a few battery and when we dy, we get a little battery charge... but challenging game is interestant too.

Graphism and audio are cool too. I like the intro :)

Good job !

attala 2021-05-02 19:07

Bonus points for interesting puzzle mechanics. Like others have pointed out it's a little hard. I really enjoyed the game though. Graphics and sound/music is well made. Solid submission.

chrissx2 2021-05-04 00:11

Interesting idea and the main concept art is awesome. Sadly my memory is too bad to remember the correct paths in the game :d

bitsandcrafts 2021-05-09 17:55

fun GJ

coleslaughter 2021-05-13 01:29

Not refilling at least a little bit of your light battery when you clear a level is a bit cruel... :slight_frown: I died a buuuuunch because of that.

Other than that though, this game was super neat! Loads of personality, and a fun little puzzle mechanic to boot~ All-in-all, I enjoyed this one a lot!
