Cool TTS audio and funny! I would like to see quicker transitions though :)

WTF. The visuals are awesome. I love the acidity. That's a funny, well done

Despite being relatively short, you managed to pack so many vibes into the playtime, really excellently done!

That was a unique experience I have to say xD I'm impressed with what you managed to do using TTS, hillarous. And the demons were really funny as well, ( Nestlé in there lol ) I do feel a bit confused, maybe I'm missing some reference, or maybe I'm just tired, or maybe it's supposed to be kind of random the whole thing. Regardless, great work!

Thanks so much to everyone who's played so far! I appreciate all the feedback, and I'm glad you all are seeming to enjoy it as much (ok, maybe a little bit less, lol) as I enjoyed making it! I definitely made something very different from what I typically make, focusing a lot less on gameplay and a lot more on aesthetics this time around. I don't consider myself much of an artist, and it's often hard for me to judge my own audio-visual work, so I'm very glad that the aesthetic flavor, if you will, of the game works as well in practice as it did in my head. Thanks again so much for playing, and for your feedback!

WTF did I just play? What a weird experience. I kind of liked it. Thats the stuff i play LD Games for. Honestly i find it hard to critique unique stuff laiek this. Maybe the TTS was a little too loud and the speed of animations a little too slow but maybe it all fits, i don"t know.

Good, unique game and a had fun with it.

Hahaha, very interesting! Probably one of the highest rating I rated (4.5 avg.). I know the audio design is on purpose but I am not quite into it tho xD

Hilarious little game; I loved the audio design and all the little jokes sprinkled in. Laughed out loud a few times! It was incredibly linear, perhaps too much so, but that's a super small nitpick in what is a really great piece of art you have here :)

This is definitely my type of game: an unhinged experimental interactive experience. I loved the shaders and the nestle demon in particular.

Not exactly a game, but the aesthetics are cool. I like it.

thelastslowpoke 2025-04-23 19:32

Oh wow. That was an experience xD I love what you can stumble upon while reviewing everyone's games. Thanks for waiting in here for me with a gorgeous piece like that.

An interesting experience! Very nicely done!

Maybe pacing was a bit slow at times, and maybe it was a bit unclear when to move forward and when to press space, but who cares when there's demon spaghetti?

(just one nitpick though, that's an 80s TTS, not a 90s one! :) )

What a fun little experience! It felt really good gunning Nestle down. I kind of expected some analogue horror but a Guy Fieri Doom also worked out.

imnotvegan 2025-04-24 10:12

The game has a very unique style

But I would like more player interaction options

Impeccable vibes. The TTS voiceover works really well with the art style, and honestly, the style is so good that the linearity of the game itself didn't really bother me. Big points for the art and vision. I can respect taking a sentence with the theme word in it, and manifseting the sentence into a game. Great stuff.

Ah, what won't a man do for some good pasta. :D What a fantastic journey! The other commenters are 100% right, this definitely wins for the art direction. Not to mention the humour! When the gameplay segment stared I was already smiling, and then you've managed to earn a few laugh out louds through totally unexpected by me (though well fitting) references. On the audio side, I did like the TTS, but I've made the mistake of playing with my headphones while having system volume set to quite high. I think the game might have used some volume controls to prevent being a bit too hard on the ears at few points. :P Overall, really nicely done! Great jam entry!
