Absolutely clean graphics and audio design. The game itself is pretty simple, but it's polished. I have a suggestion of having multiple arrows (one per broken thing) instead of one, though this idea needs testing. Thank you for your submission and I hope it won't be your last!
Nice game concept. i love the workers and ghosts textures
Super fun game ! Everything about it is very polished, great job !
Nice little game. Wish to see more contents coming up :p
A bit grim, but fun little *zooming around* tech support experience. Helping the workers from afterlife I guess.
A few things though: - I had to guess the controls, not sure if there was a button for them in the menu though since part of the window was cut off in ultrawide aspect ratio and there was no way to change the resolution of the game. Nonetheless the tutorial was nice and simple - The level is quite large and the difficulty starts to ramp up quite quickly
Congratulations to your first finished jam game!
The game is simple but i got overwhelmed by accidents very quickly (high score only 4700). Also i think there are some objects that brake but cant be repaired (bug report).
I think gameplay could be improved upon as it gets repetitive fast. Some sort of second objective may be cool to mix things up.
Good job on the audio balance and the voices btw. I hope we see you around for the next LDs as well!
Nice graphics and audio design. The concept is very interesting! I like how the gameplay feels. It's really fun to fly really fast to keep the workers alive. The difficulty scales very fast, though. Great work!
What a nice ghost. I had fun playing it, maybe some negative would be good if you press spacebar when not in range of a accident to prevent spamming spacebar.
Also the controls werent working until i unplugged my gamepad
I enjoyed this, fairly simple mechanic, but the zooming around felt good and it seemed hard but fair in terms of balance. Congrats to the team!
@phoenixofforce thanks for the feedback about the controls! Will look into that, still new to the unity input system :) Glad you had fun playing :)
Amazing for a first published game, really enjoyable! Art looks expert and the game runs smoothly! Absolutely loved the ghost character (adorably looks damn tired of saving the workers!) The mechanic of the game and has real replay value; desperately trying to get a higher score. Music is very fitting for the pixel art style.
the game remind me alot of an old flash game named "haunt the house: "https://www.gamezhero.com/games/hauntthehouse, was it inspired by this game ?, overall the game is fun although a bit stressful as well, good work!
@0x-void-x0 i don’t think any of us have ever played that, but you’re right it is quite similar!
Good game, really hits a good level of feeling like you've got to keep a bunch of plates spinning which really suits the theme. Enjoy the slightly macabre sense of humour to it all as well!
Did find that the keyboard controls didn't work at first because I had a gamepad plugged in (the gamepad stick did work for movement but I couldn't figure out if any of the buttons were mapping to the repair action and seemed to block the spacebar from the keyboard) - but worked fine once I'd unplugged it, and that's just a minor technical thing, nothing against the game itself!
Nicely done, enjoyed my time playing this!
That was fun! Enjoyed trying to keep the office lemmings alive. Did the game Lemmings inspire you for this? At first no controls at all were working for me, then I noticed my controller was plugged in. For feedback, I can't say anything really as the game was pretty well done. Only suggestion would be on your next LD jam try and do a webGL build. It loads quicker and people rating prefer them and you get more ratings. Well done team!
What an amazing game! I loved the graphics and the audio, sometimes I left the workers to die on purpose just to watch the cool animation and sound effects (please don't hate me). The gameplay loop is satisfying (even more with the visual and audio cues) and I felt like I could play it for hours. And to be done in three days is no less of an amazing feature! Great job!
This game was really well done! I really appreciate that since the play area is pretty large, there's an arrow to the closest thing I need to fix. Once you start getting a lot of workers, I have no idea how I'd keep up with them otherwise. Really, the only thing I have to add has already been said, that a WebGL build does tend to get more plays and reviews than having to download (some people have slow internet, others are like me and just kinda lazy lol) Seriously, great job on this entry, though!
This is a hilarious take, watching the workers die by mere opening the refrigerator :laughing: The play area is really huge though, but I'm glad there's an arrow to help. The controls on the ghost is really smooth and feels nice to move around. I wonder why some workers have red/blue around their eyes?
Hmm.. for some reason the ghost won't move. I tried W,A,S,D and arrow keys. Escape works. I downloaded the Windows version. Someone else having this problem?
Interesting idea! I liked your game
Very interesting game! I'd like to keep playing all the time, the ghost character is very cute! But I felt a bit dizzy when I was moving fast while playing, maybe you should improve the feeling when the camera is moving? Anyway, it's a great game!
interesting idea! Good job!
