I unfortunately didn't quite understand the gameplay. Maybe if there was a little more time to react, or if the different items flying at you had some colour/symbols to help the player recognize their effects at a glance? Nice tunes, though!
MAybe try to improve your code by using Frametimes and make the movement dependent on the timing. Now I know how all those girls feel. akward.
@arttu-halonen Thanks for the feedback! The items were running on ticks instead of delta time. Should be fixed now.
@erikengineengineer Thanks for playing. should be fixed. and i know right!
Quite a weird game, but it was fun nonetheless!
I like the visuals and the music good. The gameplay is a bit confusing, and I end up losing without really knowing why.
@dogesquad Glad you enjoyed it. It's a family made game. @jk5000 Thank you. You end up losing, because either the creep catched up and is at 0m (top left) or your guilt meter is at 100% (top right). I get that it's sometimes hard to see, but the text should tell you which one it was. Also the speed of the creep and the speed at which your guilt go up, goes faster as time goes on.
Really good concept. It took me one "death" and a re-read of the instructions before I really understood the gameplay but from that point on I was a shoe-grabbing, child-helping, granny-walking, creep-evader of the highest order.
I do wish that the difficult scaled a bit more and perhaps some colour cues on the icons flowing toward you would have helped with split-second decision making. Overall, though, great work!
Even in the apocalypse, creeps be creeping smh
This game feels like a fever dream, and I mean that in the best possible way
I didn't expect to be dodging so many weird grannies during the apocalypse. This is a really funny concept!
@human-writes-code That's great to hear! Love the feedback. Do you mean that the creeps speed gets higher faster and the guilt goes up faster. Or for example that the items go faster.
@bougiebirdie hahaha nice one
@tetrapteryx Thanks!! It's a family made game haha
@alurian I was thinking that it should start a bit slower with fewer icons, slower creep speed and slower guilt. Then steadily ramp up to a more frantic pace and higher difficulty. I think the current difficulty is fine but maybe starting easy and increasing to impossible would "feel" better?
@human-writes-code Great suggestion! Will probably update the game after the jam!
Weird and quirky experience. But hey, helping grannies is great.
Really creepy and weird, but it's nice!
clever way to make an infinite runner really easily!
Weird and fun concept. I didn't realize "g" was guilt. Because I saw "guilt" written out earlier I thought it was always going to appear like that. On my second run, I ran for 3 seconds and the game then ended saying I won. So likely a bug there. I overall enjoyed it though. Fun and silly.
Haha, what a clever idea for a game! I found it a bit overwhelming in the beginning, even after reading the description. Perhaps some work on making the iconography and UI more clear would help?
Took me a minute to figure out what to do but it's a fun little high score game. Thank you for sharing!
It was an absurdly abstract kind of experience when I streamed this game xD
Who would guess that taking a poo on the street :poop:, picking plants :herb: and getting new shoes :athletic_shoe: are the best things you can do to avoid creeps and feelings of guilt. It was an enjoyable experience despite its simplicity. I like when creators go crazy with their games
Cool to see the appearance of Grandma from Cookie Clicker
