The pace is pretty daunting at the beginning, but I found that doing a few practice runs to get the drinks down cut down on my stress! I love the cozy atmosphere, the distinct clientele, and all the little details that made the game all the more immersive.
Really fun game! I played way longer than I had to just to watch my mighty fleet of two cut down my enemies- I mean win more races. I had equal enjoyment with the scavenging gameplay, tearing my hair out as I tried to get the best of the best for my team (as they deserve). I think I'm gonna return to this one whenever I need a pick-me-up!
The piles of scrap kept me motivated to push forward, as a way of fulfilling the final wishes of my little metal brethren. Great submission!
Equal parts fun and eerie! Once I realized that the audio was cut, I got chills- every element and development choice really serves to nail the mood.
Like many others, this took me back to the flash games of the 2000s! I didn't realize how much I missed those brainteasers until I played this. Thank you for the memories and the fun!
Brutal and entertaining! The game was the perfect length to justify lack of checkpoints. Great work!
The laser and game over sfx had me laughing from start to finish- with the game being short they never quite overstayed their welcome. Fun and quick destresser of a game!
I have a weakness for anything that involves going into cyberspace, and I adore this game's take on it! If only debugging was more like this (though, uh, without the sense of impending doom involved). With every playthrough I developed my strategy, and the competition of a scoreboard is giving me even greater motivation to be the best bugsmasher around. Awesome job!
I couldn't help but bob my head to the music even as I gnashed my teeth trying to mow down hapless opponents in time. Really fun game! I have a soft spot for the design for the scared lancer opponents, I just want to give them a hug (after I run them through to escape the time loop).
I greatly love word games, and this one scratched that itch in full! I'll likely keep playing even before the drag and drop fix, just to keep sharpening my word unscrambling skills :]
The difficulty curve snuck up on me in a fun way; at first I took my time since I wanted to maximize the time gained from consuming a target, but once I realized that the time gained was slipping the game became a scramble! My poor vampire made it pretty far, but we'll see how I do on higher difficulties. Great work!
I enjoyed both the desperate, desolate feel of the premise and story, and the delightful zapping sound as I siphoned electricity to stay alive. I'd love to see more of this world!
I'm getting the softlock issue, but without that in mind I really liked the gameplay loop! The graphics worked well to convey the environment, and the sound effects were cute but unobtrusive, allowing me to get into the zone more easily. I hope the people who ordered nothing but a ruler and a chainsaw are living their best life!
What a fun mystery! Seconding the comments about wanting the music to loop, but it didn't detract from my concentration as I tried to pinpoint the culprit. I really liked the conclusion my choices led me to, and I hope you-know-who has a much more relaxing end of their school year :]
Relaxing and utterly delightful. Right now I'm on my second run and finding out how many ways I can toy with the audio (when I'm not launching myself into space per usual). I don't think I caught the events that happen every ten seconds but I confess I might have missed something in my mission to careen as fast as humanly possible across the soundscape. Well made and well done!
The audio and effects really hammered in a sense of urgency as I scrambled around the island, slapping down scrap as I hunted down the last helicopter part. Great job!
Very cute! The variety of events kept the gameplay fresh, and zipping after the sunflowers provided a bit of a challenge. Nicely done!
Difficult but enjoyable! Love the premise and the slick graphics.
I love your mermaid design! It's a very quick game, but it accomplishes its goal.
Simple and effective. Between swatting down the crows and staring down the craftier ones before they made their move I had a great deal of fun!
You really knocked it out of the park with the atmosphere! The weight of deciding who to give a better chance of survival lay heavy on my shoulders, and all of the game's elements came together perfectly to create the grim mood that fostered that feeling. What an unenviable post to hold.
Really soothing to play after a long day!
Simple and sweet! I wish I was this good at gardening in real life :sweat_smile:
Fun defense game with a great audiovisual experience! I love the cards and the extra strategy they added. I was confused by the wheat until I read the comments, so I'll have to try some runs where I'm not worried about stocking my fields with them!
Tough, but fair (and fun!) I loved the graphics and character designs, in particular Ernest- if only the rest of the cult would warm up to this total sweetheart :pensive:
Remembering to stay in line of sight, and keeping the right distance to time commands correctly, added a layer of difficulty I'm not used to and I enjoyed the extra challenge. Best of luck with the postjam demo, and may Ernest get the feasts he deserves!
Love this approach to the theme! I think this story is worth revisiting to make a more polished story without the time constraints.
Letting me choose my enemies is a neat (and diabolical) twist! This almost feel like two games in one- the frantic rush of an increasingly claustrophobic bullet hell, and the strategy of creating an enemy set that has the best "anti-synergy" (for lack of a better word) so you can avoid getting thrashed in the first game. The enemy variety and polish only compounds the fun! I'm going to be playing many rounds of this, even when I curse myself out for putting myself in a corner.
You took a simple premise and really ran away with it! The writing, voice acting, and music kept me going as I slowly drowned under the oodles of books. At one point I chucked a book out of panic and it bounced perfectly onto a shelf, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Excellent game!
How sweet! I really like the storybook style you chose, and the scrolls between levels provided a nice transition and a reason to keep playing and root for our little heroine. It's a simple gameplay loop, but fitting with the mood you were going for, and perfect for getting into a little groove for a minute. Nice work!
Major kudos for putting yourself out there! Perfectionism and fear of judgement keep many good projects from seeing the light, and both your game and attitude show promise. I think you have a neat concept going, and a great foundation to keep learning and expanding this game until it shines. Thank you for sharing your work, and keep at it!
This was so fun, with a lot of unexpected depth! I quickly went from trying to fulfill the checklist to seeing what could be combined or collapsed and jamming as much as I could into the available space (just like real life...>_>;;)
There's nothing like a good ol' dungeon crawler, and you really nailed the atmosphere!
I had a lot of fun trying to jump out of hell, even with platformers not being my strong suit! Awesome job!
I'm such a sucker for mining games (Motherload was my /jam/), and you scratched that itch for me! I enjoyed maneuvering around my guys and watching them zoom as I gifted them with powerups. If you want to continue with this, I could see it going some really cool places- if not, it's totally enjoyable as is! The BGM alone is already stuck in my mind. Great work!!
I really loved how the music shifted with each stage!! It made zooming into the depths even more enjoyable. Still trying to get the clear, but I know I'll get it soon! :>
Really cool mechanics! Sorry to my stone guy for all the times I bashed him into walls, but I have to say it was worth the satisfaction of bashing through multiple blocks at once B) Great game!
This one's so tricky- and I can't stop playing! I love the look and feel you've set up!
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments, and for playing! We're so happy you're enjoying it!! :>
Perfectly grim! This reminded me of Darkwood, both in terms of aesthetics and how well you nailed the atmosphere with those subtle details. I only regret playing this late at night a little bit...
This game has my favorite take on the theme so far. It's both well made and cleverly done! I didn't clock the additional ending until I read the comments, but it was so worth hunting for that way out. Awesome, awesome work.
Love this take on the theme, playing on multiple meanings of depth! I didn't dig deep enough to figure out what he was looking for on my first run, so I look forward to learning more in the next!
Poor devil! I don't think I'm going to complain about my commute anymore :X Loved the art and audio!
The art and the music make this such a vibe!! I spent my first run just having fun bouncing around before realizing I should probably go for a high score, LOL. Awesome job!!
This was so fun! It took a bit of practice to finagle the anchor, but it only made winning feel even better.
Cavedude is so cute!!! I'm sorry for all the torment I put them through trying to figure out the second level ;o; Great work!!
