This is nice! Would play this as a full game with upgrades and stuff

mero 2021-04-26 20:41

fun game but not rly related to the theme imo

fullmetal-automaton 2021-04-26 20:46

This was a solid little game. Pretty fun, I'd play more.

beytullahunal 2021-04-26 20:46

Would've kept playing if there was more for sure. Pleasant visuals and sound effects, smooth gameplay, good vibes.

slimabob 2021-04-26 20:47

Wow! The artstyle is super charming, and reminds me of some games I played when I was just getting into PC gaming- lots of nostalgia! The game was just the right length and didn't wear out its welcome. Great job!!

joselor 2021-04-26 20:48

I just want more, the whole game is incredible : the art is great, difficulty is really good, and it felt super nice to play.

Smooth game. Nice design, good overall feeling from this game. But i would make enemies faster and music more active, imho. I like that!

phillip-scott 2021-04-27 11:26

Really fun - would like to see more weapons and a little bit of screenshake

blackairway 2021-04-27 11:37

fun game, maybe using more game mechanics from similare game like a dash. the boss fight is disapointing cause the best strategie is to stay so away from him you can't see it clearly.

mrstari 2021-04-27 11:39

Nice game and graphic style :) <3

raiponz 2021-04-27 11:40

Nice Game! voxel style look great, gameplay is fun and sound design is neat.

somestufz 2021-04-27 16:55

Nicely polished and the audio is also very good.

krebzor 2021-04-27 17:19

I liked everything!! i would play this for hours, do more levels!!! I want to see this game on steam xD i would buy it.

daaweed 2021-04-27 17:20

very good game in voxel art, for a road through his thoughts. I had a great time. Super voxel style and really nice sound environment.

Great jobs, thanks for this moment =)

Congrats on your first ludum :thumbsup: I hope you will make other games in the future ^^ I like the graphics of your game and the simplicity of your gameplay. The story of going deeper and deeper in the dream would be more interesting if the enemies became weirder. One point to correct: the music transition is too abrupt between scene. A fade in/fade out in the music + black screen fade would be great :wink:

arista 2021-04-27 19:28

Very cool art style. Simple idea but great execution. I liked the increase in difficulty curve and the care you put into the level design. Congrats!

xpoho 2021-04-27 19:40

My Inner Demon died in the swamp =\ Nice game! ^_^

xenobey 2021-04-27 22:09

Died a few times during my playthrough but I really enjoyed the theme. Nothing very innovative but it works and is very fun to play.

fran-gambero 2021-04-27 22:27

I enjoyed your game. It feels polished and entertaining, and the characters are quite cute! I wish there were more levels though ;( Well done!

loginaut 2021-04-27 22:32

Oh this is absolutely lovely! You all did a great job of introducing the mechanics through level design, and the gameplay loop was super tight. The aesthetic definitely reminds me of those crossy road mobile games (in a good way), although it was harder to see the connection between the jungle/ruins environment, the cowboy, and deeper into the mind.

The only sour point was the boss fight, it seems like the challenge was just the health bar being increased and it was a bit of a slog. It would be cool if it was more interactive, like releasing waves of enemies when you do enough damage, but you can't get everything you want in a 72 hour jam :-)

hpa97 2021-04-27 23:12

Great art style, I love the small hops to move around. The sound effect of shooting and hitting enemies are very satisfying (Would like some sound effects of hitting the boss). The boss was challenging and fun to fight against. Great job!

save-sloth-studios 2021-04-28 08:20

Oddly reminds me of LEGO Soccer Mania, not sure why, but it is a fun game!

sand-gardeners 2021-04-28 10:49

Well done, it's quite polished and nice to play, not too hard nor too easy, good job :)

tomtomgome 2021-04-28 13:21

I really like that interpretation of the theme ! I wanted us to do something similiar but we went with something a bit less original. Beside that the game is well polish, feel wholesome, nothing much to say :)

spyturtle 2021-04-28 17:04

Nice short game with a cool theme. Good mood. The jumping sound is a little much.

ozzzim 2021-04-28 17:14

It's neat. It doesn't really need a story and could do with more levels, but it's a solid game overall

littlew00d 2021-04-28 17:18

I really like the graphical style and the gameplay is really solid. Only critisms I can give is that the boss was a bit big to fit on the screen and there wasn't an audio cue to indicate that I was doing any damage unlike other enemies.

If you were to continue developing this I'd like to see more weapons and enemies, the zanier the better because after all it's alljust a dream?

dergamer 2021-04-28 18:50

Amazing game!

Thing I thought were pretty cool: - the music fits the game really well - the artstyle looks cool - it looks great when you play it, it almost feels like a finished game - the shooting feels great although it took some time until i realised i shot faster when I am holding down the shot button - the boss fight against the inner demon was a really nice idea

I noticed only 2 small things that weren't that nice: - the player moves a bit weird when colliding with a wall - the camera in the boss was in my opinion a bit small, because you couldn't see much enemies but then the laser came from all sites

A great submission!👍

chambre19 2021-04-28 21:54

Great job and keep up the good work. You clearly had a vision and stuck with it! Not much more I could add that hasn't already been said for advice. Definitely continue development!

nvrskipgameday 2021-04-28 22:28

This was fun! Great sound design, cool level layout too, nice job on progression, and the music was charming! I really enjoyed it, rockin' submission :)

chase-of-bass 2021-04-28 22:31

Really fun and interesting how your goal is a bed as you go deeper xD -also i loved the sound effects! Great work!!

fawnblue 2021-04-30 00:49

very pretty game! it's like how i imagine minecraft would look if it was made in 2021 instead of 2011. i found it a little too easy to get mobbed and wish the movement system was a little more complex, but overall this game felt really polished and i could really see you guys building something awesome out of it!

lysenti 2021-04-30 22:44

A bit static but really fun to play ! Lights are beautiful and the AI is quite good. Your game feels polished. Good music also. :)

silkypantsdan 2021-05-01 14:28

Great concept and implementation, though gets a bit samey after a bit. Once suggestion might be to ignore the enemies from the damage pools, as it makes the game a bit easier than possibly intended. Also add an exit button please :)

Other than that - a solid entry!

doot 2021-05-06 12:52

Really nice game!

The art style is super cute and very well done. The gameplay is simple, easily understandable and the sounds make it very satisfying. The game is short and to the point, really great for a jam.

Great job and thanks for the game!

benjamin-leroy 2021-05-13 10:21

For a first ludum I find your serious game cool, the atmosphere is nice, the sounds also it sticks well to the universe in voxel, good job.

aune 2021-05-14 20:55

Very cool game, good polish. I love the sound design and ending music. Maybe few more visual feedbacks would be appreciate for hit effect.

Well done :D !

azura-dark 2021-05-17 20:00

Fun game, I had problems quitting when I was done, but I over all liked it. I take it it was "deeper and deeper into a dream" or something along the lines of that. The cutesy art style meshed well with the game play
