This game is gorgeous! I love the art style a lot, and y'all really hit the nail on the head with the theme. The sound design was minimal, but really hit hard when it was there. I did end up hitting an impassable white screen after the third wake up, but the experience was really solid up until that point. Also, I would recommend a trigger warning for self harm, but other than that, it was a really beautiful game!

Nice job! the art is superb! Congrats!!

pandore 2022-04-05 10:45

I ended up stuck on a white screen too but what I witness before that was admirable. The art style is gorgeous and set a really touching mood. Or was the white screen the inevitable end... I'll replay the game just to be sure that I understood well.

( I though I was gonna have to leave the plushie when i packed... Made my heart pinch. But finaly it fitted in ♥ )

Wow I'm in love with this game! Love how it stands out from the other entries, how pretty everything is. The gameplay really reminded me of Florence (Which is a huge compliment), so overall great job!

@fjlucas @pandore @miiyuka Thank you for your feedback and sorry that make you wait with reply!!! I take a break after jam, but now i alredy here and going to play&rate other games and improve our. Finished game alredy published on my itch, so you can play, if you want

uboretsky 2022-04-07 02:46

@miiyuka And yea, its true - our game was instpired by Florence c:

yearningboo 2022-04-07 04:07

all the arts were so pretty and added a lot to the atmosphere the way they would appear. the audio also helped a lot to the atmosphere, — when the calm song would harshly cut off, the background noises helping us figure out what was happening — it was great tho kinda repetitive. i really liked the gameplay integrating to the story. everything was so well put together. the dramatic change of pace was so well done, since from the colors — from yellow and orange to green/blue and red tones and going back and forth —, it portrays very well how its to suddenly lose someone. i dont know why but it felt very nostalgic, probably because it really felt like livings someone elses past, so thats very nice that this game was immersive and touched me this way. about glitches: the only thing i found is that if i pressed backspace the screen would go white or black and it would take awhile to go back. i would like to finish by saying: this was so artistically beautiful and devastating, i really loved it. hope to see more of ur guys creations.

@yearningboo I'm very happy to read reactions like this! For @razumovsky it was a first jam, so she is really happy too

payaosito 2022-04-07 04:58

This game looks stunning and I've only had the chance to play through it once, I'll definitely get back to it and see what changes. Really sad from the ending I got, but the art is great and the sounds really add to what's happening, it's great!

uboretsky 2022-04-07 05:57

@payaosito Thanks for playing and comment! I belive we can do more stuff like this, so stay tuned

caym 2022-04-07 11:01

It's so pretty I just can't- I love how different stages of life have different colour palettes and the way you show emotions with graphics is really good

I didn't really understand the plot just yet but I'll get back to it Good job, I'm really happy to see your jam entry :stars:

uboretsky 2022-04-07 12:16

@caym Many thanks!

olivier-millochau 2022-04-07 14:59

Every LD I'm always tempted to try a visual novel type of game and every LD I realized that I could never have reached that level if I tried ! The visuals are gorgeous, the soundscape is on point and the story is very touching. I don't really have anything bad to say, congratz on the submission !

sofignedova 2022-04-07 15:37

Excellent visual style, music, performance. But not enough... a message?

If this game reflects time, does it mean that the main character is mentally ill and will eventually reach the end?

I got the impression that this interactive game exists only to upset me. It doesn't teach me anything and doesn't make me think about anything.

As a person with a serious mental disorder, it annoys me a little. Author, please convince me if I was wrong.

Despite the criticism, you are very cool and have done a great and excellent job!

boclow 2022-04-08 07:20

Art and storytelling are super great. I loved the small gameplay parts and wish there would have been more of them. Actual story went a bit over my head or what the 5 more times actually meant. Well made game!

mrpouletbzh 2022-04-08 09:12

Excellent entry, the art style is fantastic and the overall mood is working perfectly - even if the whole game is way too depressing for my standards x) I'm wondering if I didn't miss something while playing it tho, about how do we "delay the inevitable" and if there was some kind of replayability? The title of the game lead me to think that there is, or I just didn't get how the "5 more times" things transliterate in the game. But still, an excellent work and an excellent entry, good job to you two!

uboretsky 2022-04-08 09:54

@olivier-millochau Thank you for prise! Learn, experiment, and you will become better! That's what jams are for.

uboretsky 2022-04-08 10:03

@sofignedova Thanks for detailed review! Main idea was that the character has been sick since childhood and is in a coma, watching his memories, trying to wake up. What about the gameplay, yea, it's for empathy in emotional moments

uboretsky 2022-04-08 10:12

@boclow @mrpouletbzh Thank you for playing and comment! "5 more times" is about five awakening in the five memories of Lee while coma: about childhood, teenages, youth, love and phone call.

sipfindel 2022-04-08 16:22

I love it. The art and florence inspired gameplay gave me the feels I needed today.

ardorugus 2022-04-08 21:42

The art is very good. Yet, this game is too much in your face. Too obvious. Maybe, there's some real experience in it, but the message brings no hope. I think we, as developers, should transform our experiences and bring hope no matter what, for the times could be dark, much darker all the time around the globe.

potkirland 2022-04-09 01:44

very beautiful graphic novel. and moody too. i dig the feeling. thanks for sharing your game

pureimprov 2022-04-09 02:20

Wonderful! The art and programming worked together seamlessly (:

m-kusy 2022-04-09 17:12

Absolutely amazing art and prezentation. Would love to see the concept expanded upon.

ehon 2022-04-10 10:59

Its rare to spot a narrative-based game on a LD like ours so I was happy to discover another one! Really solid and emotional entry, the art was top notch and the story was deep and sad. Thank you for that experience.

uboretsky 2022-04-10 12:20

@sipfindel @ardorugus @potkirland @pureimprov @m-kusy @ehon Thank you all for these kind reviews! I'm glad to see you enjoyed our game! Today I am going to remaster 5 More Times to fix some technical issues and add changes to make game better. If you want to suggest something - you are welcome

Oh...

misfire-dev 2022-04-10 13:58

really stunning to look at, the visuals in this game are absolutely my favorite of this jam and the audio fits so well to just set such a mood. just a really beautiful experience overall

sheol 2022-04-11 03:38

The mood and the artstyle compliment the theme so well. I really love the artstyle so much! Apart from some minor glitchiness with the scenes showing, I think overall it's a pretty good entry! Great work! Really beautiful.

f1krazy 2022-04-15 13:26

Very sad and melancholy, but a beautiful narrative nonetheless, with excellent graphics and sound effects. As tragic as the twist at the end was, it was also well-executed and subtly but clearly foreshadowed. Good job.

2022-04-18 09:27

This game was a joy to play. I loved the story and the atmosphere. I couldn`t get enough of it. The gameplay is calming, and I loved the shock I experienced when the story got darker. I wanted to ask if there are any social media, where I can follow the creators and enjoy more of this art style I completely fell in love with, and learn about other projects or updates. <3 <3

jeanne-rossat 2022-04-20 11:41

The graphics were amazing ! Seriously, the art style is just so nice~ Good story telling also, the story is clear and effective ! I wish there was a little bit more of gameplay this being say. I think the mini games were nice, but they were maybe too calm... ? I think that some games to make you feel overwhelmed would have been great to add more feel in my opinion. (THis being said, I understand that wasn't the base intention) Again, really great graphics and good story, congrats !

uboretsky 2022-04-21 16:20

@misfire-dev Oh, many thanks!

uboretsky 2022-04-21 16:32

@f1krazy @v-is-nobody @jeanne-rossat Thank you all for these warming comments and for the long silence (I hade a lot of work) @razumovsky and I are fall in love in these characters and their background so we really want to make more in the future. Unfortunatly, there is no any our social media, but you can follow my itch for futrher projects

2022-06-27 10:39

Thanks for sharing this game with us. I really like this game. I am getting bored at home and that is why I am searching for a games online for time pass. I also found https://casinosanalyzer.com/online-casinos/best-payout website link where I found a lot of sites through which I can earn a lot of money. Now, I don't do any job because I can earn money by staying at home only.

Sporting events are very closely tied to the seasons, so there is a risk of being without a bet for a period of time, while poker can be played without interruption all year round, which is a significant plus. I installed app more to distract from the PC games. But this game is the best, honestly _______________________________________ https://parimatchbet.in/parimatch-app/
