404 for your itch.io - is it public?

adrien-dittrick 2021-04-26 20:12

Hey there, your itch page seems to be a 404 not found, make sure you check the settings and tag it as "public"

nekowei 2021-04-27 00:25

thanks for the hint, i have turned it into public now!

Good use of theme. Managed to get to Sleep Valhalla, lucky guy will never have to touch a computer again.

Nice work :)

Nice little game, I like your interpretation of the theme :)

Love to see the different takes on the theme, this was one of the most innovative ones I've seen! And the game mechanic is very creative, first I was like wth is happening but in the end it was surprisingly intuitive! Of course the teddy bear and pillow protect you!

A lovely little game, gave a nice mood and i really liked your graphics. I just didn“t quite understand the pillow and the teddy - never the less i finished it and enjoyed it. Well done!

And thx for making it public :3

I enjoyed playing it. It took me a few seconds to understand the rolls of the different items and how to use them, but I thought that was the fun part. There's not much opportunity for replay but it's nice to have a game you can finish!

I was a bit confused but then it made click :D Nice game liked the chill and comfy vibes. Had some issues with playing without fullscreen though.

Took me some time to understand the mechanics, but I guess that's the point of the game. Solid entry.

@noef sorry for screen size problem, didn't have enough time to make a adaptive UI, a update will come in a day or two :)

nekowei 2021-04-28 04:02

@bitshift thanks for the understanding, I have updated the game information, hope new come players can understand it easier ;)

Once I figured it out, I had a lot of fun with it. Definitely needed to run the game in full screen on Chrome! When I didn't run it full screen, the UI elements were layered on top of each other.

Very unique concept and a nice take on the theme! It was light hearted and cool mechanics with the pillow and teddy bear blocking the need for other things. I do feel like it's not too scalable as once you have everything you have little problems with anything, but i can't tell for sure. Great job!

Liked the interpretation of the theme, and about the gameplay, I found a bug in the early game (you can directly buy a pillow and a bear without money when they're in gray) and this throw me off the experience. However, I think is a nice game :smile: good job!!

Cute. An interesting take on the theme. Directions were a little confusing at first. How is the money gained? It just seemed to accumulate over time... Overall, a nice game

mighty-mufflon-games 2021-05-01 08:39

I thought I could control something while I'm sleeping so I tried to collect stuff. xD Like your interpretation of the theme, but I miss some real gameplay. Overall a cute game. :)

nekowei 2021-05-01 09:03

thank you guys for feedback!

@cottontshirtz yes the money is gained through time, the only diffrent is you sleep longer, you rest better, you gain money faster(the bar below shows how good you rest)

@mighty-mufflon-games I want to make some diffrent bewteen work and sleep, so you can make decisions when awake, and do nothing when you fall sleep, I thought the falling scene as a result check time for your daily work, but it took too much time to wait makes people want to do something ;(

Actually I want to extend this game after jam. I want to let player control the teddy bear and pillow (and even more characters) to protect "you" and make more enemy(desire and worry) to block "you". A adventure in dream!

It was really neat how time passed sleeping where you were falling through the floor. I think it would have been cool to be able to control your guy to dodge stuff rather than just relying on the pillow and teddy bear.

I like the concept! I was able to purchase upgrades with negative dollars, which once I figured out allowed me to beat the game.

That was an interesting experience. Not sure what was happening and why, but still enjoyed the journey. Clouds and deeper backgrounds were very beautiful and relaxing to look at, definitely helped create a mood of tranquil sleep. Also satisfying clicking sounds during the day, intense typing at high energies was a nice touch too, really helped create a contrast between intense work and relaxed sleep.
