The animations felt very smooth!
What a beautiful interpretation of the theme. I loved the graphics and the music. The gameplay was basic (donuts are OP) but the emotion it conveyed through the music, the graphics and the psychologist's quotes were top notch.
Animations were smooth and sound design was nice! Love the combat.
High five from the team that made another therapy game. :) nice job, i really enjoy this game :)
Nice game, the music is maybe a little bit too loud. Great work overall.
Really loved the animations! With a bit of post processing, this could be at a very good level. Congratulations
Hi! I like your game, I also wanted to make a game based on psychoanalysis but in the end I changed my mind. I like your idea of facing fears and pains as if they were monsters. I played the web version, I don't know if it also applies to the downloaded one, but if you want I have some feedback. I haven't seen any health or resource bars, that's okay, but I think infinite resources and unclear health bars don't make the fight stand out. And speaking of infinite resources: the ranged attack is much more beneficial than the melee one, which is a shame, because you animated it well. I'd recommend to increase the ranged attack recovery or to increase the melee attack range to make it more interesting.
Such a lovely game. It's so amazing. The story, the music, the sound effects, the animation and the game feel are so good :D Still I would like to mention some things that could be improved: - Maybe increase the player feedback, especcially when hitting an enemy. It's a bit unclear if my attack hat any impact - Maybe add a cooldown to the shooting ability. I just spammed hit and shoot all the time.
But overall it's a very good game ^^
Great Job! the animations, music, gameplay... everything was very nice. the comedic notes from above were great too!
love it ! Well done ! The idea is really nice.
I just found you can wall jump and go out of the level.
Really fun I like it ! It's a bit too difficult and it's hard to tell when the Player's life is low but the concept is ingenious and the art is fantastic ! Great Job
I love this interpretation of the theme. Well done.
Great idea, I really enjoy the game!
I like where you went with the theme :)
Graphics were nice. Gameplay was a bit weird, I wasn't sure if I had to try to get somewhere or just kill everything... So I killed everything and won the game. Could use joypad as alternative to keyboard. I used joyToKey to use a controller as I'm not dextrous enough to play so quickly with keyboard.
Haha Genius!.
Very cool game! I loved the stab animation, although it was pretty useless compared to spamming shoots x) The psychologist's commentaries were awesome xD and the end sentence too. Oh and the clown just falling on you is so scary + loved the design of the boss.
Could use some polishing but it was a very nice experience :)
Also very cool to find women-only teams in a world where men-only ones are so common! Our team was more non-binary and trans oriented ^^
I hit a few bugs here and there, maybe you can track them down:
- I was able to climb walls by repeteadly jumping towards one - At one point I dided, and the "dead sprite" got stuck and my player never respawned, I had to reload the game - There's a weird transition after that reload, I chose Adulthood as my starting level, when I killed the final boss it took me back to the adulthood scene (not sure if there was something more after that)
Bugs aside, very cool take on the theme!! Platforming needs a bit more polishing. The art is super super cool, not just the final art but the concept itself. You did an amazing job and you should work on making it better!! I can imagine different patients with different types of levels and enemies, the interpretation of the mind of a patient can lead to beautiful sceneries and mechanics.
Again, great job and keep up the amazing work!
What a great little game! A very ambitious concept for a short jam, but your team did a great job of realising this concept! Loved the art the take on the theme. Really great combination of being deep and numerous at the same time!
If you plan on working on a post-jam version keep an eye on making sure text isn't getting cropped outside the frame!
Nice job!
The theme of the game is nice and quite touching. The gameplay feels ok, even if there are some strange hitboxes. It's so hard to make a game like this feel good! Animation are great and audio and visual feedback are helpful.
Thanks for the game I enjoyed it 💕
I also found some bugs but hey it's a jam game! This one was funny though: Capture.PNG
Thanks for the feedback @doot @webox @mechamew @alyd-asmar @tomssuli @shin0nome @marmeron @zomk @phanelly @shotgunsamurai @macibacsi56 @sugarsugarsugar @slingshot! We didn't have much time to fix bugs event known ones, any ones really XD We were happy to finish in time!
@foxy of course, and well done! It wasn't meant as a critic, I just found this one really funny 👌
@foxy that's super undersntandable it's a jam and time is NEVER enough haha. Finishing a game in 48/72hs is A LOT!! of course there's going to be bugs!.
I Just wanted to report those bugs so you can have them in mind for a post jam version!! (If you're thinking about making one)
Again, congrats on your game! :D
@doot @webox I know right :D We do appreciate reports and critics too
I'm such a big fan of all these games that explore mental states ! This is awesome I love your art style and music, I love the interstitials and the therapists commentary during gameplay is awesome ! I almost wish that there were voice or because those quips and statements as background audio would be so cool .
Great work , great job of exploring the theme, the art style is super cute too !
The art is super. Especially the therapist is amazing and the clown was disturbing good.
Great job on this game overal!
This was fun to play (although the character was a bit hard to control). The therapist comments were the best, and I also loved the enemies (mortgage, broccoli…) Good job!
Ahahaha cute game!
Very nice game! We had a similar idea of fighting your inner demons and I really loved how you put this idea into a game! I'll also share your game with my teammates, so they can play and rate it too
nice concept, liked the audio, gj!
The artstyle is really really cool, I love the main character graphics. Also all the movement options, wall jumping, wall sliding, double jump, close and distance combat - I wish there were more levels utilizing all of these features.
Very nice idea and quite fluent movement controls, I liked this one ^^
The interpretation of the theme was incredible! I loved the art and the audio work, congratulations on the publication
Really like your idea of therapy game where you can battle your inside demons, sound design et graphics are awesome ! Congrats, I really enjoy playing your game :clap:
Great job on the art and animation. I loved the music so much but it felt weird to have chill music combined with combat ... or maybe it was meant to feel that way? I also really loved all the little quotes and comments at the top!
Honestly I love it, divided into the necessary worries of one's growing age, and then try to attack him to defeat him to break it, so cool, very decompressed! Hahaha, like a children's picture book, bold to imagine.
hahaha I LOVED the concept of therapy and going deeper and deeper that way! The therapist comments during gameplay was a very nice touch to the humor of the game
Good game! I enjoy it! Animations and sound design are smooth Hitboxes are sometimes difficult to anticipate, but you provide a good experience. Thank you for you game :)
Good game :) The music ans the graphics are very nice Good job guys
Nice production ! The graphics/animations are pretty cool, and the gameplay is really fun (eventhough the long-ranged weapon has an undeniable advantage over the short-ranged one). Overall, nice job for making this game !
I really liked the graphics and music, but honestly the gameplay was a bit chaotic. I I dind't know what to do or where to go and did not see my health. But I love the concept and idea behind the game. Maybe you can continue working on it after LD event :)
Great job! I love the framing of the therapy sessions and it goes great with the piano music. I thought it was awesome that you made enemies out of fears, etc and had you fight them. It was nice that the patients name was in the corner and you could see the therapist, that made you still remember that it's not just a regular action game, but that were in someone's mind! It was definitely on the easier side just being able to mash the shoot button, but that's totally fine. Also I love the final little joke, it was fantastic! Overall, great submission!
Finished fighting broccoli, clowns and mortgages. Nice, first tried to fight with "slash" only because somehow I did'nt realize you could shoot donuts too, but then worked better. Could not really see how much hit points I had left so it was a bit of try and error too. Otherwise, beautiful graphics, and good controls. I also liked the therapists comments conveying the real meaning of the scenes. Good work! :thumbsup:
I like the mechanics. The ui seems faulty when not full screened but that's fine for a jam. Nice entry!
fun game, it took me a bit to realize that you had a double jump so maybe put that in the description but other than that really good for a jam I originally wanted an intro like yours but didn't have the time.
It was a nice take on the theme, it looked really good. Any game that encourages me to deal with my repressed hatred of broccoli is a winner in my book. Thanks for making this game!
This is a really cool platformer. I have seen this idea of entering the mind but not in this way, I would change the camera angle so is more wide, I had trouble looking at my enemies, overall it was nice, great job!
Wow, very unique idea, interesting enemy designs, and the attacks are really cool too!
Really liked the enemy designs! The concept is nice too. While the slash feels nicer to do, shooting is way more powerful so there isn't much reason to shoot. The music felt like it was well composed but the levels were not long enough for it to get to the good parts. All and all, nice work!
The concept of the game is really really good!
The only thing that feels weird for me is the sound, but I know that not anyone has sound designer in a jam ans using external assets it's not that easy :P
I liked the storytelling and the concept, really
Good game, hope you keep doing games this way ^^
Good job!
