I really like the art for this one, and a unique take on the theme. I think it could have been made a bit clearer to the player how the incoming hands move though, and sometimes they make you lose the game even if they're not overlapping your limbs. Otherwise, really good concept, nice work.
Thank you! There are some known issues, we tried to fix everything but some of them are still there :-) Thanks for playing!!
Great graphics, and overall theme. For me the only issue was that it was a bit confusing the usage of the red hands as something you had to avoid, took me a couple of tries to realize that! Otherwise, really fun and fast paced!
Cool art style and definitely a unique take on the theme. I will say the game made me feel v uncomfortable, as the premise is groping a sleeping person in their underwear... while not waking them, perhaps swapping the character model for some sort of monster you need to move off of some treasure would result in a better overall outcome.
Unique artstyle for ludum dare for sure. Had a kids show vibe to it. I assume you are not musician so I salute clever usage of own sleep recording sounds, it feels natural and well put. It took some practice to move limbs around but overall great game for ludum dare time limit constrains.
@darkboulevard thanks for playing! We tried to improved the feedback to make easy to understand how to play the game, but we didn't have time to implemented some of them :sob: Glad you like it!
@bhughes Thanks for your words, we are really proud of the art and how the game fits with the theme. We want to implement some improvements, we'll take your feedback into account. Thanks!!!
@saviqq You are right, none of us are musician but we tried our best hehe Very happy you like the game. Thank you!!!
Great game! The graphics are amazing, and the concept was really good! I think the only issue I ran into was that the hands often appeared to make the touch response, despite being completely away from any of my limbs. I couldn't tell whether they were actually counting it towards me waking up, though. But other than that, I really liked your game! Well done!
@eoshadows, thanks for your comment! There are some pending issues, we hope to fix them after the ratings process ends. Glad to see you like it :)
The game looks very cool. But I didn’t fully understand what to do to not wake up.
@ternox with the mouse you have to drag and drop hands and legs to avoid incoming hands to touch you :)
ahahah very nice game i love this game ! maybe add an timer at the end to see how many time of sleep we have win. But great concept !
@narffy thanks for your comment! It's a good idea, we'll take into account your feedback for a version. Anyway the game had a surprise end if you continue sleeping until the alarm sounds :o
Wow this game really has a creepy atmosphere. Why are all these hands coming to touch the poor guy D: But I like the visuals a lot, you've got a really nice style here. Wish there was some kind of score system, even if it's just a simple timer to let me know how long I made it. Just to keep it motivating.
The art here is really intriguing, it has a creepy vibe/mood and I like it. A slight indicator on the actual limbs would be actually helpful, since sometimes I drag the limb only to figure out I needed to drag a little bit lower. Other than that, great game, great art.
very atmospheric game:) sounds is very good, want to yawn, great idea!
Interesting and uncommon concept but i found it very hard to play, i always lost after 2-3-4 rounds.. Too fast and sometimes when i click to drag on legs on arms it's not picking and i am lost, annoying a lot. And when you lost you can't immideately replay, must see all the intro again, thats confusing. Anyway for LD game this is nice good fully made one, nice entry!
@yaen @adobobo @olgavek @bohmann thank you for your comment!
There are small pendint details that would improve the game a lot: a score system, difficulty balancing, known issues,... but we don't have time :( We are thinking about making an update since we've seen that other games are making updates with open rattings.
Anyway glad to see you like it! Thank you again :)
@fjlucas Sure, a post-jam version is usually a pretty good way of dealing with this. We'll make one of our game too but for fairness' sake will only publish it once the rating period is done. Good luck with yours!
I'm behind this idea 100%, delay as long as possible! Haha unique concept with quality visuals. Don't know how he could sleep with every limb in his face but more power to him ;)
It looks stylish and unique. I really like the visual side.
Red arrows are often knocked out of the color palette. It would be great if even the interface elements were not so knocked out. If it was a muted dark red color... It will still be readable well (since the whole picture is blue, and red is close to an additional color).
The topic is revealed uniquely. But it looks damn creepy. It could easily be a mini-game for some 2d horror.
The authors are great fellows! I express my admiration for the work done!
@rasblo Thank you for your comment! Glad to see you like the game :bed:
@sofignedova Thanks you for your words! Very happy to see you like the game!
The red color was the only piece of the game not tunned by our artist :D For future games, he will have to review the art style of any element hehe
We'll also take into account your feedback about the mini-game. Thank you again!
Great idea and the visuals are pure gold! Simple, yet fun - for a while :smirk:
@unbugged thank you for your comment! if you want to try, there is a game end if you sleep until the alarm sounds 😊
An interesting idea, but playing with the mouse is very difficult. You should have adjusted the controls better. However, the game is very beautiful and fun.
@allax thank you for playing the game 😊
Very cool art! As other people already stated, it was unclear what the enemy hands do at first (I did not read the description at that point) and the feedback for grabbing/hovering over the limbs is missing. Would be cool to just get a feedback like the foot slightly blinking or having a white taint or something. But otherwise great!
Edit: Hands down, who else did a fapping movement with one hand followed by childish giggling afterwards?
@made3 thanks for your comment! We'll take into account your feedback. And answering your question... I'm sure that everyone did it too hehe 😁
Those hands remind me story with design of one of the enemies in hollow knight. In early versions this small bug had no spikes and players tried to jump on it, getting damage. As people said above - hands design misleading. Also balance feels unfair. Great submission!
@morricore thank you for your feedback! some of these things are known issues, we'll try to update the game after the rating period. Thank again for playing the game!
This is an amazing game. I love the graphics you've done here, looks stunning. It's certainly impressive what you've accomplished with just 2 people with my only complaint being there is no scoring system or a timer to know how well I've done. I think with that added and maybe even a faint background music, that could really bring more out of the game. However I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing it regardless.
@kitkii thank you for your feedback! we didn't have time to add a scoring system, but we're planning to add it once the rating perid finishes.
By the way, if you want to try, the game has an ending if you continue sleeping until the clock alarm sounds :-) Thanks again!
This could easily be the most polished graphics I ever saw in a LD game. Even the animation of the limbs is very seemless, impressive. Actual gameplay was a bit to minimalistic for my taste, and rather difficult right from the start.
@lenaschimmel , thank you for your comment! We know that a bit of polish is needed: difficulty, some bugs, more gameplay options,... I'll work on it after the rating period finishes.
Regarding the visual style, we're very proud of it, we'll try to improved in a future version too. Thanks again 😊
