I love this atmosphere. The glitchy surreal art and effects made me feel like I was playing a game made on an alien planet. This is a simple idea but the execution really elevates it. I did have some trouble with the crate physics, they seemed to want to fall into the ground as often as they could be pushed back to the shelter, but I still had a lot of fun with this.
Really good atmosphere! Music fits well. The physics are a bit wonky, although sometimes it actually fits with the whole glitchiness going on. Got to 2 minutes something, mostly by running back and forth at ground level. Ventured out to get some boxes in the trees but then I died.
Awesome entry! Having a completed game for a first jam is huge.
Pros: - The glitchy atmosphere combined with the nature theme works super well - not something I'd think to do. I especially loved the lightning strikes. - The little "z" prompts are a nice touch, really helps guide you to the things that matter. - Great comfy sound effects. - Rain drop physics!
Cons: - As others have mentioned the physics are a bit funky. I found it a bit difficult to not clip through crates. - Movement felt a bit floaty. Small suggestion would be to increase gravity/friction maybe?
Awesome atmosphere, really cool entry, congrats!
Haha I like the glitches and the sound when the game is over. I like the art of this game and the concept, just a shame i did not survived. I am curious if we could go in the holes around for a longer survival. Well done
Physics is pretty weird, but overall pretty well. I loved that glitchy atmosphere with that music, it feels creepy. But this game lacks some sound design - there is almost no sounds of different objects and interactions which makes game feel little bit empty.
I lasted about 2 minutes.
Loved the atmosphere and general vibe! Would like to see a clearer visual distinction between objects with a collider and objects you can pass through.
Cool game, although some of the physics glitchiness (teleporting half a screen to the side, at one point) got a bit annoying. I love the whole vibe though.
The mood is good and the concept works fine, there are some physics engine bugs. It's a shame the life decrease speedly, i will have prefer explore a little more to find crates and discover the world.
Nice work. Music fits well and lifts the entire game's experience for the player.
I like the glitchy art, it helps accepting the physics bugs ^^ nice music
Fun little game! Love those physical rain drops.
The jpeg artifacts make my pixel artist brain shriek in terror.
The world looks cool, but the movement needs work. I didn't realize until the third play through that it was possible to climb the tree and explore the world further, but it seemed futile since you couldn't push a box back anyway. (at least, it seemed that way ┐(￣～￣)┌)
The game is dripping with style. I love it.
Cool, I love the glitchy art style and sounds. Looks like you went at some of the graphics with a hex editor :D I would have liked to be able to hold Z to actually carry the crates or something instead of just knocking them around, but overall a solid idea for the main game loop!
Well this felt like a fever dream. Cool effects!
Great art; loved the glitchy vibe!
The glitch effect is really cool. I got a little bit stuck on the tree and it send me flying which I found funny, more like a feature than a bug :D Cool entry that fits the theme!
It's quite fun and the gliching world theme is nice.
This game felt unique. This idea / gameplay I haven't seen anywhere.
I was fun but when I tried to explore the map, some terrain is quite difficult to traverse. (Or maybe that is to fit the glitching theme? )
Map design, world design is super great! Can't wait to see more of your work. I'll be watching you on twitter :eyes:
I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I loved the glitchy graphics. I got a bug where going on a tree's roots send you off in the air at hyper speed. Also I have no idea how the crates / plants growing works but I got to survive a bit.
This is really good for a first LD Jam game. I liked pretty much everything about it. I even liked that the character would glitch out on occasion and warp around the level. I did find that the crates seemed to spawn in regular spots, so a bit more randomness there would have been nice. I could see this being expanded into a much bigger game, kinda like a Starseed Pilgrim type thing. All round though a great entry.
Good stuff :8ball:
