WWWW GAME IS AWESOME

Simple and fun game! It looks visually pleasing as well, and seems well polished. Good job!

delightfullymad 2022-04-04 23:52

Fun game and very cute art. Well done!

frostbiiten 2022-04-04 23:55

@delightfullymad Thank you! :D

A cool simple game where you need to score as many points as possible. When there is nothing to do, you can be well distracted. Also the game is generally smooth and I liked the transitions. Only I didn’t find the exit button, well, it doesn’t matter. I was able to dial 175

frostbiiten 2022-04-05 00:31

@exaggegen Thanks for playing! I think I forgot to add an exit button xD

I thought I managed to find a strategy that can keep going but I think the press just come down faster overtime. I kind of wish that there were incentive to go deeper but I guess there isn't.... (I checked)

Congrats on the submission and thanks for the game :)

@zwodahs Thanks for stopping by! Yep, you're right - the press increases in speed overtime but there definitely should've been more incentive to go deeper :0

dan-smith 2022-04-05 16:43

Very responsive and juicy. Well executed!

pinballjunior 2022-04-05 17:00

Cool original game

mutuware 2022-04-05 17:04

Got some life into the cube characters. Not sure about that weird drum beat that pops up, haha!

castitatis 2022-04-05 17:58

Really nice and clean looking game, the controls feel nice. good job!

cagibi 2022-04-05 18:04

I really like the idea and your interpretation of the theme, nice polish as well!

frostbiiten 2022-04-05 18:10

@cagibi Thanks !!!

frostbiiten 2022-04-05 18:10

@castitatis Thank you ^^

frostbiiten 2022-04-05 18:12

@mutuware haha sorry about that, I was having some problems with the audio. Thanks for stopping by ^^

frostbiiten 2022-04-05 18:48

@pinballjunior ty :D

frostbiiten 2022-04-05 18:48

@dan-smith Thank you!!

nick-rafalski 2022-04-06 01:13

Nice job! I really enjoy the risk/reward of staying down longer to get more power, but risking not having enough time to get back and push the press back up. The art, music and mood are all simple but work perfect for this game. Great job!

frostbiiten 2022-04-06 01:18

@nick-rafalski Thanks :D

poshdan 2022-04-06 03:22

I really struggle with the control precision when picking up the squares. I didn't read the description ahead of time, so the sudden death caught me off guard and confused. It didn't make sense to me why the pressure at the surface is cause for death when I'm below. I liked the clean aesthetics, and the wobblyness of the character!

frostbiiten 2022-04-06 15:40

@poshdan Yes, I definitely think I should've put a valuable item them player was trying to protect at the surface so the "crushing" actually made sense. Thanks for the feedback ^^

albertnez 2022-04-06 20:42

Very nice game! It took a bit to get used to the game and the controls (and even at the end, turning felt a bit weird), but the game became fun, addicting and challenging, with good progression of difficulty. The over design is absolutely great for a compo game. Congratulations on your game!

frostbiiten 2022-04-06 22:37

@albertnez Thanks!!!

jitspoe 2022-04-07 00:05

Looks very clean. I like the squash and stretch on the jump. Simple concept that's fun to play and works well with the theme!

frostbiiten 2022-04-07 00:07

@jitspoe Thanks for playing !! :)

shared 2022-04-07 01:46

Nice polished game ! The idea is simple, but the game plays well. What I liked the most though, is the amount of polish. Nice game for a first jam

frostbiiten 2022-04-07 01:50

@shared Thanks!

foxwater 2022-04-07 02:24

Hey I really liked this one! The movement is really fluid, the secondary color choices were great, when the music kicked in it felt like it belonged, and the UI elements were very intuitive. I've also never played anything quite like this so big points for originality, well done!

aethona 2022-04-07 03:58

Overall a pretty good submission. The control scheme feels frustrating at times, but that's just my opinion. The art is clean and the game feels really polished.

lisyarus 2022-04-07 08:32

A very nice game! Simple yet polished and fun. Found the movement way too hard due to high inertia, but I guess that's what makes the game challenging. I'd suggesting adding some visual or/and sound indicator when the press is close to reaching you (e.g. an alarm sound and pulsating red something on screen), I died several times just because I was chillingly collecting energy orbs and forgot to check the press state. Anyways, nice game, great job!

frostbiiten 2022-04-07 14:58

@aethona @lisyarus I've taken note on movement feedback, I 100% understand where you are coming from. I agree with the point made about the indicator too, (I was actually thinking of speeding up the music as the press got closer). Thanks a lot for playing and providing valuable feedback :D

frostbiiten 2022-04-07 14:58

@foxwater Thank you!

onnofal 2022-04-07 17:24

This is a cool and original game! Screen transitions and tweening done great, with a taste, and in a the right amount. Looks pro. Not necessarily good or bad: it even reminds me some sort of many hyper casual games of a wave once being popular on mobiles. Would easily fit in .)

frostbiiten 2022-04-07 19:14

@onnofal Agreed :) Thanks for playing!

pitxardo 2022-04-08 16:52

Solid game here!

Good art, good audio, good gameplay, good idea, smooth and juice!

It has everything! Good job!

bentglasstube 2022-04-08 17:14

Very nice job with the control and movement in this one. The swimming underground felt incredibly smooth and fluid. The game gets repetitive pretty fast, so maybe some extra mechanics are needed to fill it out, but it was a fun game just the same.

frostbiiten 2022-04-08 19:27

@pitxardo Thank you!

frostbiiten 2022-04-08 19:28

@bentglasstube Definitely agree with it getting repetitive. Thanks for the feedback!

kidabra 2022-04-08 19:28

Very smooth and fluid gameplay.

frostbiiten 2022-04-08 19:32

@kidabra Thanks :D

mrbrainfed 2022-04-10 17:09

This is a really juicy game! From the subtle sound effect when you bump into the side of the map or the one while you dig to the squash and stretch of the character, you nailed it! Everything I did felt so satisfying. Good job on your first gamejam! I look forward to the products of your future ones. One thing I would suggest though is a check to see if the music is running every time you want to start it so that you don't get two music tracks playing like I got.

frostbiiten 2022-04-11 15:03

@mrbrainfed Thanks for the feedback :D sorry for the music bug - I've been trying to fix it for a bit but I am struggling to recreate it locally.

deniskazantsev 2022-04-13 08:21

Nice fun game! I really liked colors and animations.

frostbiiten 2022-04-14 04:47

@deniskazantsev Thank you!

m2tias 2022-04-16 17:02

This is so clean, wth! I wish I could do clean stuff like this :D Nice mechanics, it had a suprisingly interesting gameplay. You kind of forget how deep you are and then it's too late. Sounds/music was good as well. Nice and chill entry :)

frostbiiten 2022-04-16 22:49

@m2tias Thanks for stopping by :D

life-lich 2022-04-21 17:14

Nice game, fells very polished. I could easy see this on the mobil market, though it will properly be hard to translate the controls to taps.

frostbiiten 2022-04-21 20:57

@life-lich Agreed! Thanks for playing :D
