Really fun game, graphics were nice, sounds and were very fitting. Only complaint is that the smoke blocked my vision sometimes. But overall very good

Really cool game. I love the style and graphics

draconimous 2022-04-05 23:04

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this game is awesome! love me some coffee!

nosleepjf 2022-04-05 23:10

The art style and the 3d environment were really great!

arianad 2022-04-05 23:11

God this is what I felt like the whole weekend for the Jam (trying to stay awake to work but inevitably falling asleep, LMAO), but really fun game! I liked the art style too!

pedipanol 2022-04-05 23:13

I had a smile the whole time I was playing it, really fun game!

woetnie 2022-04-05 23:18

Fun to play and smooth controls the only issues I had were the collider on top of the trees in which I could get stuck and the smokescreens which were a bit too much. Overall a very good game!

It's a game I wanted to play more. The eye closing effect kinda hurt my head for some reason, and I often got stuck on the tree geometry where I couldn't walk or jump (this was on the web version). With these two things fixed I think I would play alot more. As is I got to double jump inc and then couldn't find the ceo and the constant eyes closing was frustrating. I felt the physics felt really good and was fun just jumping around, I also thought the art had a cool vibe. Thanks for making it!

this game is insane! i am still reeling for the fact that this was made in 3 days! wow! i really loved the polish that went into this game 5/5 for every category!

Beautiful Serene View - Awesome game, i was gonna say should have the time stop to read the signs, but nah. really cool! COOFFFFEEEEE

10/10 Honestly the best game on the jam The humor is on point, progression is really nice, both graphics and the audio are amazing my only complaint would be that approaching a bed and "sleeping" does not reset the coffees, so it forces you to wait for the timer to run out in some cases

What an incredible entry, very fleshed out and well polished. I really like the level design on display here as well as how well the main mechanic works in practice. Its incredible just how much you managed to accomplish in 72 hours. Bravo.

This was heaps of fun.

- Game looked great, colour scheme plus 2d/3d look was beautiful - The progression was super well done, the puzzles were really well thought out - Sound design was great - made interacting in the world satisfying

Only suggestion would be to maybe stop the timer when reading signs - I suppose it's part of the challenge but I found it more tedious than fun.

Really polished nice work :)

This was practically a simulator for how I stayed awake all weekend! Getting some strong Antichamber vibes and I'm loving it

Omg this game was a mood. I hate timers but the graphics are veeery cool, and the flavor text was fun, and the game play hectic but so fluid! And those pigs, so cute :pig: Minor bug: had some weird drift happening (when my cursor was captured by the player the screen kept moving to the right slowly).

daniel-username 2022-04-06 01:31

Love the art and sound. Really solid game and concept!

tyler-miller 2022-04-06 04:13

I wasn't able to dash on the web version or maybe was doing something wrong. I like the visuals and the puzzle aspect the eyes closing brings.

golin 2022-04-06 04:30

omg this game is so fun I love it! I found 66 coins in the end. don't know if that's all?

aerloth 2022-04-06 10:03

Thank you kindly all LudumDarers for playing and writing out your thoughts!

@lenan thank you for feedback! I found out last minute that the web version does funky stuff to the smoke particles - 100% true, smoke is too much in some moments - it's a little better on the windows vrsion

@tyler-miller thanks for pointing out the issue! To dash, you need to jump (be in the air) first. I should've made this easier by allowing to dash while on the ground and giving it a cooldown then!

@golin thank you! I've lost count how many I've added but sounds like all of them!

@haztro thank you for playing and for precise feedback! True with the signs - it's supposed to be fun to read them but they eat up valuable time! Maybe the sleep timer should stop in a given "zone" after you completed it - that would allow for more relaxed exploration :thinking:

@blizzsuxx thank you for playing! Valid point with the "bed-reset" - in my head not resetting the coffee pickups combines with the theme of delaying the inevitable moment before you'll fall asleep in the end - otherwise players would spam going back to bed to reset the pickups! Maybe a 'respawn' button to avoid waiting - or better bed/coffee balancing would help :thinking:

@woetnie thank you for playing! True with the trees, I did a trick with flipped normals to have the outlines but didn't know how I can fix the collision fast without doing a separate collision mesh.

@alyd-asmar thank you for playing! Will investigate the drift, didn't notice anything like this before.

now looking forward to playing and rating more games after responsibilities are done!

THIS. IS. AMAZING. Played this one for whole half an hour - that's amazing for a jam game, let alone a jam game made by entirely one person! There is nothing in this game I don't love!

This entry definitely needs more love. I am sending it to my friends and everyone who might be interested. I encourage other users to do the same and get this game some recognition it deserves.

Well done, one of my favorites!

Loved the art and audio! "Bed zones" as checkpoints was great as well! I am not very good at it though :smile:.

pke1029 2022-04-09 21:15

The art design is great and I love the count down with the eye closing. I find the game a little difficult, the timer is quite tight but mainly because of the spacious room and I am not sure where I should go or if what I do is intended or not.

rosymaple 2022-04-11 05:19

Perfectly on concept, when I read the theme the very first thing that came to my mind was trying to stay awake and drinking coffee!!

game play + writing + art + map design are all super spot on.

Only gripe I have is that the feeling of stress from being about to fall asleep went away very quickly. I think a change in music like a temp slow when you are about to fall asleep would do wonders to make that feeling more impactful.

another add I would love is a counter for how many coins are left or even some text letting you know how many are in world. I wasn't sure if I had all the coins when I ended the post game with 36 :sweat_smile:

oneowerse 2022-04-11 16:07

your game is very suitable for this topic, I like the design and the mechanics of the game surprised me, great game

oleg-bone 2022-04-11 22:51

I love this game so much! Really cool, thank u ^^

ewilecoyote 2022-04-12 19:28

Nice game ! good mechanic and good balance

owlycode 2022-04-13 00:00

It's amazing all the features you got done in 72h. It's a very solid entry, the best I've seen so far. It has a portal vibe, but with caffeine!

ternox 2022-04-17 22:42

Very nice and smooth control!

squerf 2022-04-19 11:25

Excellent. Just needs controller support and a soundtrack and it'll be :ok_hand:

nem 2022-04-21 19:53

Probably interesting, but I didnt understand a lot, not gone that far. I was able to walk forward and backward with arrows... But not able to move with left & right... QWERTY only, sad for AZERT users :( . Also sad it was not GamePad compatible.
