DIVINE VISUALS. Excellent color palette and NPCs. I really liked the character we play as. The system for transitioning between levels is also awesome. I didn't manage to reach the boss—I got killed - but those who aren't casual players will definitely make it!
@nikitastarostin thanks for playing
Pretty solid&smooth gameplay! Feels good
Nice work! Really fun core loop and a great take on the theme. Had a good time playing it! Left full ratings. Cheers from the Meow Bomb team, feel free to drop by our page if you're looking for more games to rate!
@nursultan Thank you for your high rating!
@thelink We’re glad you liked it!
Very nice Color palett. good and actually quite balanced gameplay
Very nice entry! The game looks and feels really polished. Very impressive for 72h!
The vibrant visuals and quirky world give this roguelite a ton of personality. The combat feels smooth and satisfying, and the level transitions are a great touch. Really polished and impressive for a jam game!
@davedavenotgood thanks! glad the palette and the balance landed
@shlolo thanks a lot! really happy with how it turned out in 72 hours
@roronoati thank you! glad the transitions and the world landed, that means a lot
A fun game. However, there’s a drawback with the collision of the gears—sometimes they can pass right through an opponent.
@fedor-perfilov thanks for playing! and thanks for the heads up about the gear collisions, that's really useful feedback
A classic style platformer focused on eradicating aliens, the music and sound effects create a truly apocalyptic atmosphere. The only thing I would have adjusted is the health bar, it feels like I can charge in headfirst without any real risk of dying ! Otherwise, great work.
Looks great! I thought I'd found a bug with the wall, but the bugs were one step ahead of me...
Smooth gameplay and great visuals! I don't see the "Old Tech" part though 😅
That's pretty good, similar to my game without the puzzle part, I really liked it, and good idea with the mouse that hit looks and hits in the direction of the pointer.
Great game overall, I liked the feeling and the art, 1 issue I don't get is: why only the first projectile shot deals damage ? Anyway good game!
Very original game ! I couldn't stop playing. I want an rogue like version. Great job !
Brilliant visuals the amount of content that are in game is amazing i ve completed all the levels so far
the game looks and plays great. I did have some problems with worms staying in the walls though. the art is so good and the upgrades feel very powerful. that level transitions feels so satisfying!!!
Great job, your game is amazing! I loved playing it, super cool!
COOL game. i like how controls are responsive, smooth. Art, and sounds are no less magnificent. The game is a full-fledged, beautiful, and enjoyable experience.
@divarium We will be glad to continue working on the project!)
@noodonge We’re glad you liked it; the artists really did a great job.
@ao-85 Thank you for your comment; we’re glad you liked it.
Pleasant controls and visuals; I would give the character a bit less HP.
The hero feels really fun to control, and both attacks are a blast to use. Loved the variety of enemies and the visuals too. Only thing I’d change is the health bar, it’s so small I didn’t even notice it at first and had to squint to check my HP. Great work overall!
The visuals are great, but I'm really surprised at the animation! What challenges did you face making it? Would love to know the creative process!
A really nice game, even though I’m struggling quite a bit with it, haha! The graphics and audio are also very good; it feels like a well-polished game that’s enjoyable to play :) Perhaps it’s just because I’m not at all used to this type of game, but I’d say that completing the levels isn’t easy
this is so cool!! love the music and graphic. A bit of Halloween vibe and some cyber tech feeling to the beats. The motions of the bot and the monsters are very well polished! I especially like how the bot looks at the mouse. Enjoyed playing it, didn't survive too long but it was fun. The melee attack range is slightly frustrating and I kept missing my ranged shot. This makes things hard but still, well made! a challenge but nice
@yupaz thanks! glad the apocalyptic vibe landed, and fair note on the health bar feeling too forgiving
@dreamerkaj thanks! haha the bugs being one step ahead is the best compliment, glad you liked it
@evil23 thanks! glad you liked the gameplay and visuals. fair point on the theme, it's definitely on the subtle side
@grateful-tomato thanks a lot! really glad the aiming and the overall feel landed
@leandre00 thanks! glad the art and the feel landed. the projectile thing sounds like a real issue, thanks for flagging it
@bigtex thanks! really glad the art and the upgrades landed. the worms in the walls are annoying, thanks for the heads up
@mailsbert thanks a lot! glad the controls and the sound design landed, that means a lot
@shikaka29 thanks! glad you liked the controls and visuals, and fair note on the HP
@rekk1d thanks! really glad the attacks and enemy variety landed. fair note on the health bar, it's definitely on the small side
@tanjou thanks! really glad the animation stood out, the team put a lot into it
@a-mathyas thanks a lot! glad you enjoyed it even while struggling, haha. good luck with the next run
@cupofcuppuccino thanks! really glad the music and the bot looking at the mouse landed. the melee range note is fair, thanks for the detailed feedback
The art is so juicy! Seriously caught my eye the second I booted up the game. Gameplay was fun at first, but the waves just drag on for way too long. Ended up tapping out on level 3—was really hoping for a boss fight instead of just three more identical waves. Music was a bop though! Definite thumbs up for the visuals and audio.
The combat felt smooth and satisfying, even if after a while I wondered why I was using the melee attack if ranged is so OP! Good work overall :)
The music rocks! That's my favorite bit, for sure. I get old DOS game vibes.
The game was fun. I wish the enemies didn't have quite so many HP, or the weapon recharged faster. Felt like some parts were a bit of a slog to get enemies killed.
I love the physics and high-mobility out of the gate.
This is a fun game!
Really cool aesthetic for the game! These colors and worms are amazing!
@maxxxmax thanks! really glad the art and the music grabbed you. fair note on the wave length and the boss idea, that's really useful to hear
@kumber thanks! glad the combat felt good. the melee vs ranged balance is a fair point, it's a tricky one
@silas-reinagel thanks! 'old dos game vibes' is a great compliment. fair note on the enemy hp and weapon recharge, that's useful to hear
@nesmon thank you! glad the colors and the worms landed, they're a big part of the game's personality
Awesome art and even more awsome audio! The gameplay is really fun, but gets kinda repetitive after a while. The sheer amount of content is insane for a 3 day jam, great game!
I had so much fun playing and I loved the art especially. This game jam was my first time drawing for a game and it was inspiring so thanks
Looks awesome, and moving around feels really nice. Falling from high places is pretty funny :) The only thing is, having to start all over again after dying felt a little punishment 🥲
Great art and music, the game has great potential!
Wow that was weird! In a good way. Those enemies (and player character as well) are somehow weirdly scary. Maybe because of their animations, they are so good. Controls and platforming feels really solid, art looks great, audio is awesome too. Great job guys.
@bit0 thanks a lot! really glad the art and audio stuck with you, and fair note on the repetition, it's the part that's hardest to keep fresh over a run
@bit0 double post, my bad. but yeah, the repetition point is the one i keep thinking about
@yarakdemir thanks! and congrats on your first jam art, that's a big step. really nice to hear our game could be a bit of inspiration
@aterim thanks! glad the movement and the falls landed, the tumbles were a lot of fun to watch. the full restart after dying is a fair note, it does sting
@apokrypha thank you! really glad the art and music landed, that's a big part of what we were going for
@jiri-hysek haha thanks, 'weird in a good way' is exactly the vibe we wanted. glad the animations and platforming felt solid
This game overall was pretty good, the visuals were great (all of it, animations, sprites). the movement feels nice and the platforms are fair. The one feedback I have is to make the melee attack better, it feels really pointless compared to the ranged attack. Sure its faster but the hitbox is so small that you need to be right up next to enemies to hit it (and you will take some damage from that)
Great color palette and a lot of personality in the characters. Having ranged on one mouse button and melee on the other is a nice setup for a roguelite, and the level transitions are a neat touch. Pretty impressive for 72 hours.
This is a great 2D action platformer, with progression and interesting bosses and enemies, upgrades, each one changes the hero visually and gives a solid boost to certain stats. Overall, an excellent game for the jam, one of the most polished and well-crafted ones I've seen, and seriously impressive for just a couple of days of work. Really nice job!!
I love the transitions and the level indicator between levels, and the player’s ragdoll feel and physics are a very nice touch. The upgrades and boss fights add even more to enjoy. It’s a really challenging game, died multiple times, but I like it a lot. The sound effects, music, animations, and graphics all feel so well executed. A really nice game—very well done! 👍
Interesting art style!
@thanatosisanoob thanks! really glad the visuals and the movement landed. and yeah the melee hitbox is the weak spot, it needs to feel worth the risk
@div00 thanks! the two button setup was one of those things we werent sure about, so it's good to hear it clicks
@artonix thanks so much! 'one of the most polished' is a hell of a compliment for three days of work
@incd021 thank you! the ragdoll tumbles and the level transitions were some of the most fun bits to make
@nikiroz thank you! the weird little world was pretty much the starting point for us
I really like how the movement feels. Climbing and jumping are very smooth! The unique visual style and enemy behaviour are both good. Nice entry!
@ancooper thanks! the climbing and jumping took a lot of tweaking, so that's really good to hear. glad the enemies and the weird look landed too
@thelink thanks! really glad the movement feels right, that was the thing we tweaked the most
@nursultan thanks so much! glad the core loop landed, and thanks for the full ratings too
@divarium thanks! a roguelike version is a tempting idea, the upgrades were the most fun part to build
@noodonge thank you! finishing all the levels is no joke, glad the content held up
@ao-85 thanks! really glad you enjoyed it, the art style was the starting point for everything
A very cool and fun core-loop for a roguelite! Nice work
@jawdan Thank you very much for your positive feedback; we hope you enjoyed everything during the game.
The animations are smooth and movement is fun. The melee attack seems not that useful though, especially after the lightning upgrade. Overall still very fun game.
@lomna Thank you for your assessment and constructive feedback. It would be a mistake to assume that melee attacks become useless once you’ve upgraded your arms; they remain more powerful and can be helpful for taking down certain types of enemies, as well as for navigating specific phases of boss fights more easily.
This is a real nice entry, loved the physicality of all the enemies and the player controller. and that all enemies had unique behavior! It looks great too! Felt like there was quite a spike in difficulty after the first boss but it might just be that i picked the wrong upgrades / skill issue :) great stuff
The art style is really pleasant to look at! I got the controls instantly, without reading anything, and that’s a big plus for a jam game
@mechanicallife Thank you so much for such a detailed review; we’re glad you enjoyed everything. The difficulty does indeed increase with each level, but it is entirely possible to beat the game using any combination of upgrades.
@arbuz322 Thank you for your comment; the controls were indeed designed to be simple and intuitive, ensuring a quick learning curve. As for the visual style, that’s all thanks to our artists—they put a tremendous amount of work into it.
Ooh, I like the procedural animation. The kinda awkward/unnatural movement of it fits with the puppet/robot character. Nice use of lighting and particles as well - very juicy overall!
This game is such a vibe ! Obviously incredible graphics and audio, but even all the animations are great. I loved breaking my ankles by falling too far, it was rendered fun rather than frustrating thanks to the animations you guys used. And the character design is super neat too. Great job all around. Will be following this one.
Interesting graphics, with nice music. Very cool game!
Very cool stuff, thought the audio was especially good. Loved the look, colours and the level design. Not 100% sold on the controls (although they were straightforward, just maybe a bit tricky) but I thought it's a really top effort for the jam
Wow, "Textolite" is an absolute masterpiece for a Jam entry! The polish on this game is insane, and the controls feel incredibly responsive and smooth. I absolutely loved how the main character's head and gaze follow the mouse pointer — that attention to detail is brilliant!
The level of juice in this game is incredible: the movement physics, the visual effects upon colliding with the environment, and the spiderwebs look beautiful. The music is an absolute bop; it fits the apocalyptic cyber-tech vibe perfectly!
I managed to reach Stage 2, and while the difficulty spikes up quite heavily and becomes brutally challenging, the experience is amazing. The new enemy types — those creepy worms, swarms, and spiders — look spectacular! The procedural-like animations and the unique behavior of each monster make the battles feel super intense.
This is easily one of the most polished and full-fledged games of the entire jam. Fantastic work by the whole team! If you get a break between fighting these tech-creatures, I’d be absolutely thrilled if you could check out my retro-tech ASMR cleaning simulator too! Good luck! 🕹️🐛🕸️⚡
@3lstmsinatrenchcoat Thank you so much for your comment, the funny movements really add a little clumsiness to such a powerful robot with lightning))
@rat-balls Thank you, and thank you again for your kind words. We’re glad you liked all the animation features of our game, and we’ll do our best to keep delighting you with our game in the future.
@imod Thank you for your comment. We’re glad you liked both our graphics and our musical accompaniment — it means a lot to us.
@liam Thank you very much for your feedback and high rating! It’s very nice that the visuals and sound worked well. As for the controls — it’s probably because the RMB is rarely used in games; we’ll think about adding in‑game hints. But since this was the best work for the jam, it means we did everything right! Thank you for playing and supporting us!
@ynukym-academy Thank you so much for such an incredibly warm and detailed review! Reading that “Textolite” is called a masterpiece and one of the most polished games of the jam is huge motivation for the whole team.
It’s especially rewarding that you noticed the little details we poured our hearts into: the head and gaze following the mouse, the movement physics, the collision VFX, and the procedural-like monster animations. It’s great that the music and the overall vibe hit the mark too!
As for the difficulty on Stage 2 — thanks for pointing that out! From our side, the difficulty increase there actually feels fairly gentle, though the new enemy types can definitely make it seem like a sharper spike. It might be down to their behavior and the density of the fights. Still, we’re really glad you pushed through to Stage 2 and enjoyed it — and if we develop the project further, we’ll definitely take another look at balancing.
And of course, thanks for inviting us to check out your retro-tech ASMR cleaning simulator! One of our team members has already taken a look and rated it, and the rest of us will definitely check it out again too — it sounds super atmospheric and unique. Thanks for the support, and good luck with the jam!
Phew, it took me 4 attempts to get through it all! Hand upgrade is definitely OP!
I'm very surprised by the scope of this game. Lots of content for a jam entry!
Some specific gameplay feedback: - For melee attacks, it'd be a bit more convenient to increase the size of the hitbox. Maybe not so much the distance, but rather the angular range, so there'd be less need to aim precisely with melee. - Also, I'd increase the cooldown on melee attacks so you'd have to make a conscious decision instead of just click-spamming. That would increase the player's agency a bit more :) - IMHO, getting knocked out from a fall feels a bit like unexpected overkill, considering how high and quickly the character can jump. - And since the game is quite long and really intense it would be nice to have a simple pause (maybe I just didn't find it)
Good luck with this and your upcoming projects!!!
Feels super smooth to play! I love the gameplay and the tactility of the game, something most games don't do well. Such a cool project!
@moondweller Thanks a lot for playing and for taking the time to write such detailed feedback — and for sticking with it through 4 attempts! Really glad the hand upgrade and the amount of content landed well. We especially appreciate the concrete examples you gave (melee hitbox/cooldown, fall knockout, pause) — it’s genuinely useful to see specific points like this. We’ll use the notes as reference while reviewing feedback. Thanks again for the thoughtful comment and the good wishes!
@kedikat Thanks so much! Really glad the game felt smooth and tactile — that’s awesome to hear, especially since it’s something we cared about a lot. Appreciate the kind words and the cool-project love!
Really cool mechanics and such a rich, weird world! 😂 I love how creative the setting is, with swarms, spiders, RAM, and a very unusual hero. The game has a lot of interesting ideas, and the action makes it fun to explore this strange world. Great work, team! Looking forward to seeing how it develops beyond the pre-alpha stage! 🎮✨
@pan-pan Thanks for you comment!!!
Player character looks cool and animates well. Wanted to be able to crouch with the melee attack.
@elemel We’re glad you liked the visual design of our character and its animation. Regarding the crouching mechanic, I’d like to say that in the current version of the game it would be useless — there are no useful functions where crouching would come in handy, not even in close combat.
Overall, the game sounds good, but I didn't get past the second level.
