This is really cool, very unique art style that I think really captures the dream like concept. Feels good to play, it's satisfying to blow up the demons with the bombs. Maybe I'm just not very good but I did like how quick the rounds were, made it nice and easy to go again and try and beat my previous score. 104 was my record!
Also, the inbox is too real!
it's too hard
but it's funny
loved it! very interesting take on the theme, and quite fun to play! well done! <3
high score: 197
I like the art and the audio, nice game overall!
Loved the graphics and the audio. Good job!
Delaying waking up to go to the office is certainly a concept i can get behind so I like the idea. The space feels a little bit too confined and some of the objects are hard to judge where the hit boxes are. I was also having a bit of a problem of stuttering and some audio playback issues on Firefox. I tried Chrome but then the input didn't work at all. The artwork is nice and the music and audio is ok too, but I found the rounds too short to get much into it. Also I would like an option to just skip submitting my high score on the rounds when its not worth even submitting.
fun game! I wish the tutorial was slightly more baked into the gameplay but the concept was easy enough to learn. I enjoyed the voice acting too
Really well done. Felt quite polished and played well. Graphics were outstanding. Great effort for such a short development time window.
This one was very well executed. Honestly, the only real critique I have is that I wasn't quite sure how the scoring worked. Sometimes I would survive a really long time and think I was doing really well but not get a great score. That's about it. Other than that I like the art and overall vibe the game gave me.
@automatonvx Thanks for the detailed feedback. We realised towards the end that the space was quite confined but it was too late to change anything, definitely a learning point for future games. Damage from alarms and candles was based on proximity rather than overlapping the hit boxes which I guess didn't feel intuitive in gameplay, so fair enough. We've had real problems with audio and web exports for our games, haven't really figured out a solution unfortunately. Good idea on skipping score submission. Great feedback -thanks again.
@lushboy-studios Totally right, I agree with integrating tutorial with gameplay and personally I quite dislike the whole separate tutorial powerpoint slide thing that we resorted to. We just ran out of time and didn't plan the tutorial aspect well enough.
@mateu Yup, we could have provided a better score breakdown, and maybe given a higher score for survival. You get a higher score from "Carnage" which you gain from blowing up alarms and candles with your bombs. Thanks for the feedback.
Graphics were well done, good concept. Felt bit too tight though and collisions unfair.
Interesting and creative concept plus good execution. It was fun, took a few quick deaths to figure out. I liked jumping right into the action.
The art is nice. I struggled a bit too much to understand how/when I could drop bombs and the collision box felt a tad too large but, otherwise, it was good.
Artstyle is pretty good. As others mentioned, a little practical tutorial would be nice, but overall nice entry
That was fun. I always like when games have a leader board! Dying wasn't too frustrating so I could keep trying again. I didn't really find myself looking at the messages on the side at all and I agree that the space felt too tight.
A nice concept, delaying sleeping. I did have some trouble because I felt like I died a lot. But I like the style and the music
Leader boards, audio settings, key bindings and graphics settings all in a jam game? Very impressive!
I found myself saying "just one more try" several times.
I do agree with others that there wasn't much room to move around.
I was not really a fan of the bombs damaging me since they were my only attack, but I get how if you didn't do that you could just spam bombs.
This is very cool! The fact that there's a leaderboard in a jam game is nuts! The art and the voice acting is 10/10, and the gameplay is real solid, great job! :v:
Pretty nice little game, we see the efforts you all made. Even if the graphics were self made, you manage to do many features, really appreciable.
I laughed at the alarm clock on a hoverboard.
I managed to get 5th on the leaderboard after a number of tries. It felt like a constrained space to play in, which made it quite challenging to avoid demons if you didn't take them out right away.
It took me many plays to realize that the cherry bomb itself also reduces your sleepiness. Avoiding it helped me get a higher score.
The corporate speak on the right was also amusing. I didn't notice it until my first time waking up, and I found it was pretty easy to ignore throughout the game.
The sound effects and music were serviceable. I liked the speech whenever you make the demons go away, as it sounds both subtle and similar to the kind of taunt someone would say in an action film.
I really liked your take on the theme and the general gameplay mechanics. It's also very cool that you even managed to create a nice main menu as well as some settings. Well done!
Difficult but interesting game. Nice music and graphics
