Great implementation of the theme. Loved the bloom! It made the boring looking programmer art interesting. Downloaded from itch app and still experienced the hiccups between turns other that that, not a bad game :)
The first comment! Yey! Visuals pretty, sounds are nice and mechanics are interesting. Needs some tuning but hey, this is a game jam game so that's ok. I think the gameplay should be faster though. Otherwise, good job!
Awesome idea and pretty good execution! Unlocked warming heart and probably will play more after rating some games.
Wow, that's dark... You kind of have to destroy some planets after a while. Made it to 2190. Great audio and graphics although the ship does not fit very well.Yeah, I'm complaining about visual consistency in a game jam game so great job! Loved it!
Great twist on sokoban! Also nice visuals and sounds.
Not a bad entry but with little tweaking could be much better. It is really hard to die right now. And the game desperately needs camera shakes! Here is THE screen shake presentation (if for some reason you didn't watch this already :)): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJdEqssNZ-U
@dragongino it didn't work on my pc for some reason :( But in any case, everyone should watch that video :)
Nice idea but needs polish. Especially the low-res visuals
Liked the graphics. I think the game should be much faster. And space bar does not work sometimes
Nice idea but I wish there was some interactivity. I did like the idea of sequels for each ludum. Hope to see a text adventure next time :)
Wow, trippy! While not a game, I enjoyed staring at it for while.
The sensitivity is waaat to high. Also clicking on the switch is not very intuitive. I think it should be activated as soon as you touch it or with space, like it was in the old days :D Loved the visuals and I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one who did an old-school fps thing :)
This was done in a jam? Wow! I have to think hard here and being very VERY picky, but the only negative thing I can say about it is that some visuals are pixelated and other are not. Awesome game, congratulations!
Needs a little polish but cool idea and good execution. Reminded me of Dune II on Sega for some reason :)
Great music, graphics and atmosphere in general. Loved the interpretation of the theme! Controls should be definitely improved though!
Nice graphics and smooth gameplay. Wish there was more content though.
Great art style, nice music and effects. The font is almost unreadable though. And since this is the endless experience I think there should be some kind of point system and may be some upgrades as you progress. Solid entry, congrats :)
@frostbyte4k oh yeah, I noticed that there was a game over screen but since I was clicking to the enemies too hard I skipped it accidentally the few times I played it :)
Nice mechanics! It does feels like a proof of concept and I would say quite successful one :) with graphics, sounds and polish could be a fun little mobile game!
Surprisingly addictive. Didn't expect to like it that much. Congratulations, nice entry :) PS: I managed to do four lines!
@james-dunlap thank you, glad you liked it :) yeah, I only did the allocator sounds in bfxr. I probably should learn a decent audio editing program.
@ashment thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
@emily-rizzo thank you! Yeah, I realized that the tutorial was too long a little too late :) Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed it :)
@eatthepath oh, I didn't realize that. I will fix it once the voting is over. Thank for the feedback. @robowarrior1982 yeah, I was looking forward to make the graphics but sadly run out of time :( glad you liked it :)
Edit: I checked the rules again and it turns out that I can do small bug fixes. Will look into this mouse issue this evening!
Edit 2: I checked the game and seems to work fine on my pc :/ tested on Windows in 1024x768 windowed mode :(
@robo-chiz Thanks, glad you liked it. When you destroy the red tiles or stun enemies, new red tiles spawns. I failed to fully utilize that mechanic due to the level design though :(
@mrsylar59 thank you for your kind words :) glad you liked it :)
@sharks sorry, I don't have a mac :( but you can download the source files, I used Unity 2018.2
@sharks but don't you have to rebuild on mac as well or something? I will definitely try it though!
@sharks I think I did it :) hope it works
@dk5000p yes, I opted out because I downloaded most of the effects from freesfx.co.uk. There are viruses later on. I realized that the pacing is way to slow for a game jam game but it was too late to fix :(
@reax thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@matoux42 great! Thank you for confirming that :)
@maksime Thank you, glad you liked it!
@rjhelms The pitch black thing is mostly because of the graphics. Or rather lack thereof :) Even with default Unity cubes, the darkness makes it look atmospheric :) Glad you liked it overall!
@shakedimus well I couldn't find an appropriate sound so I tried to do it myself with bfxr. Obviously, I failed :D thanks for the feedback!
@rahim-pxr glad you liked it! I will check out your game as soon as I got home this evening :)
@mza sorry to hear that. As I mentioned in the description, I wanted to add some additional accessibility so it would be easier to navigate. Thanks for trying it out :)
@tontonpizza it is set to logarithmic rollof, I think it is pretty much 1/r^2. At least pretty close to that :)
@kiirohanabi thank you for your kind words! I'm very happy that you liked it and toke your time to write this comment! Also thanks for the feedback :)
You forgot to upload UnityPlayer.dll, the game is not running :(
Well that was intense... I think I loved everything about this game! Congratulations, awesome job!
Cool graphics and nice gameplay. Didn't like the sounds much and I think the screenshake could be reduced. Nice entry otherwise!
Beautiful graphics! But I think it needs some screen shake and different weapons with cooldown or limited ammo.
Wow! Actually good looking 3d game in a game jam! Great atmosphere and sound effects as well. My only issue was with the character controller, it needs some more polishing. Great game otherwise!
Wow... Just wow!
The concept definitely has the potential! Wish it was more polished. And you may want to add a tutorial. It took me some time (in game jam game terms) to figure out what is going on. Good job otherwise :)
Visually confusing but otherwise interesting concept
Cool idea! Good graphics and nice audio. Controls can use some polishing but pretty good game otherwise.
Doesn't run on my Windows :(
Awesome graphics (and not event pixel art)! Music is nice as well. Controls and the difficulty can be adjusted but for a game jam game, it is quite good. Controller support was nice btw :)
Smooth controls, great visuals, nice sounds and fun gameplay! Also it is trickier that in looks :) loved it!
Please! For the love of all of the dark and grotesque, for the sake of Cthulhu, please get rid of that background! At very least make it very very dark, like barely visible. Controls are pretty good though :)
Cool art and music, nice idea. I would like to see a longer version of this
Links still broken...
Fun concept, fits nicely with the theme. Too much stats for my liking, but I don't like city builders in general so there is that :)
Well I don't have anxiety problem but this feels like a pretty good approximation. Loved the animal thing! Great job!
That a lot of comments! Not sure if it was mentioned already but I would suggest to add a random pitch to the sword sound. Obviously many sounds are missing but it is not that big of a deal especially this being a compo game. Otherwise visuals are nice and music is pretty good. Nicely scoped and executed game, I liked it :)
Congratulations on completing your first game! As you've said, there is a lot what you could do better but considering this is a game jam and the first game I would say good job! Liked the music though and it was kind of trippy overall :)
I can tell that you had fun :D congrats on the first entry for a game jam! But I hated the music and it was hard to understand when someone was talking.
@dk5000p yeah, that is why i love game jams; if nothing else you end up with a brand new game :)
Nice entry, especially for the first game jam. Add some challenge and levels and it might be a nice little game :)
Interesting mechanic, great art style and pretty good execution overall. Wish there was sound and perhaps some kind of indication where the bombs are going. Now it is kind of a trial and error game rather that a puzzle. But for the first game jam game, this is outstanding! Congratulations!
This is harder than it looks! Feels simple, challenging and polished.
Nice visuals and mechanic. Wish they were more diverse though. Definitely a great job for a game jam!
Great graphics, great music and sounds, good controls and fits the theme. Feels very polished as well. What else one can expect from a game jam game?
Well that was stressful :) fun mechanic, great visual, nice sound effects! Awesome job, especially for a game jam!
Cool idea! Pretty good execution. The only bad thing that comes to mind is that the visuals are not varied enough.
There is only an exe, no game files :(
Not bad for the first game! Graphics are great but I didn't like the music much. Obviously the controls can be improved but as I said, not bad for the first try.
I like the concept and wanted to play more but unfortunately it slowed down quite a lot (I'm on firefox if that helps) :(
Great idea but I'm not sure if there is a score or a win condition. Also it can use some screen shakes ;)

Addicting, annoying, infuriating and relaxing at the same time! I love game jams for entries like this one! This is a great one :D
Unfortunately relevant game in more than one way... But at least it's funny! Really loved the visual style and VO :D I wish there were some kind of randomization. Or even better, an active research phase. Great game overall!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511798379394867205
Because mdoern systems are too mainstream? Jokes aside, this is a cool game with great puzzle design! Well done!
PS: I'm tweeting about games I play from this jam, here is yours: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1512142552476139523
So uhm did you made the engine during the jam as well? If so I don't know what to say :D even if not it's a very nice looking game with an interesting mechanic :) Congrats of a great entry!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is yours: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1516061793185062924
I like the bright neon-y visuals as much as the next guy, but perhaps you should consider tone it down a little bit :D it hurt my eyes :D Other than that add a barrier so the player can't leave the arena, some screen shakes and it will be a nice entry :) good job!
Nice intro, I loved the Unicorn! I wish there were some room for tactics though
@paroxysmal yeah, getting stuck doesn't feel good at all. Unfortunately that's how most of the sessions end atm. But I have potential solutions in mind ;)
@david-york Stay tuned ;)
@aarimous I have lots of plans for it. Mobile port is among them :D I just hope I'll get to before the post game jam euphoria wears out :D
@stasm yeah, I'll have to work on AI and the difficulty curve :) I'm glad you liked it :)
@martin183 yeah, that would be great. But unfortunately that's not my forte (to put it mildly). But I think I will continue to work on this game, so stay tuned ;)
@ocwal I'm glad you liked it!
And yes the difficulty curve didn't get as much attention as it should, unfortuntaly :(
@brainoid yes, you should talk about the stun lock ๐ it needs a better feedback or something. I will work on it (during LD50++ ;)).
The health is indicated by enemies' fading colors. But I guess it's not super obvious and also not color-blind friendly. So that's another point to work on.
I'm very happy you liked it :)
@simon-rahnasto Thank you! Iโm very happy to hear that you liked it! Thatโs especially encouraging coming from a fan of the genre. Unfortunately, Iโm not a one, but Iโm happy to hear that I did it right :smile:
The difficulty curve definitely needs adjusting. But I do plan to work on it further. Stay tuned! :wink:
@honest-dan hi Dan! Thanks again for playing it on stream, it was great to actually observe someone playing it and "see the feedback live." And huge thanks for taking your time to write it here :)
I did address most of the feedback in the 1.1 version which is only available for the windows atm. I will get the webgl build after the judging period ends.
1. Did exactly that 2. Replaced the RNG part with Random(hitCount / 5, 1) < 0.75. So the max delay is 5 hits 3. All enemies have the same amount of health, but it will be the case in the production version 4. Added a sound effect when the rage meter is full. Probably will add some kind of scree effects later 5. Added knockback whenever player uses his rage power. It is possible to get out of a corner now
@caudatecoder thank you for trying it out and your comments. I do appreciate it a lot :) The game is suppose to be hard, but not this hard. I uploaded an updated version (V1.1) with a better difficulty curve, and a few quality of life improvements. It's only for windows atm. Glad you enjoyed it :)
@lereveur have you tried 1.1 version? If not than I'm very impressed with your score, I think I did 5 at most ๐ but yes, the difficulty curve needs adjustment in either case :)
@jackaljk yeah, it is hard ๐ I'm working on a new version. I hope I can fix the stun and stun break feedback or mechanics
A nice twist on the genre, and great soundtrack! I wish it was a bit more polished but I still had fun playing it!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is yours: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1512524187381940229
Nice visual style and fitting soundtrack. The only visual problem is the tree ladder thingy. I would make them out of branches so it looks more natural. Fun little entry otherwise :)
That's it. I give up. I'll retire to a solitary hut in a woods and will live the rest of my life growing organic tomatos or someting. If someone can make this game during a jam what's even the point... Yes, I saw it yesterday on stream, but didn't want to believe it existed until I tried it. Wow. Just wow!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam, here is yours: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1512132524964732936
I did like the mechanic quite a lot! Perhaps could use some juice. And deaths due to RNG are annoying :D A great entry!
Wow! That is fantastic! Not very often you see a well written story with great voice over work in a game jam! I'm not even talking about the fantastic visuals, and sound design. I don't know what you could add to make it better... Perhaps a roguelike mode with light deck building mechanics?
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is yours: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1512124214299484169
Fantastic entry! I'm not even sure if I can provide a feedbak. Add screen shake may be? Loved it!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam, here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511071890734997515
A fantasitc entry! Fun setting, great sound and visuals. Love it!
"A great first person platformer" is not a sentence we hear everyday! And this is a game jam game? DARK MAGIC! The controllers is obviously fantastic, but I wish I could turn off the smoke monster, relax and jump around. Great job guys, congrats!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511777936780759051
Unfortunately a very relevant game thesedays... Polished gameplay, nice visuals and sounds. The only thing I may suggest as an improvement is making missiles' colliders a bit bigger. It's somewhat hard to click on them. Although perhaps it's working in favour of the message. Also a score board and perhaps some meaningful quote about the war at the end would be great!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play, here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511055313272721408
Very nice puzzle mechanics! My only complain is the movement. I wish it was a bit more snappy :)
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is yours: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1512517854859517952
Very nice game feel! Perhaps can use a subtle camera shake :)
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is yours: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1516092549211082759
A very polished game! My only suggestion would be not to use the pixel-perfect camera on UI elements and using a better font. Great game otherwise :)
A great scope/polish balance :D feels very polished, has great visuals and sound. I wish the difficulty would increase with time though. It feels like I can go forever, and I had to wait for the ghost to see the fire effect. But I liked it overall!
Quick tip: don't use rar, Itch app doesn't seem to like it :D use zip instead :)
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play during this jam. Here is yours: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1512115269778481157
Wow, I wasn't expecting this... I would give a constructive feedback, but I'm not sure what can be improved. Fantastic entry, I'm very happy I came across it!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511761412804255753
Very fun idea, nice visuals and funky soundtrack! I wish the difficulty curve would scale up a bit faster, it felt like I can run forever. Also a quick UX tip: using mouse to restart the game doesn't feels good because the rest of the game doesn't require it :) Great entry overall!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511766385994702858
A nice concept but can be developed further. I would add some kind of clue as to where the exit is. Some story would help as well. Just a few clues as to why we are here. That could motivate players to find the secrets. Also random generation would be nice :)
Wow this is a great entry! Very innovative gameplay and nice acting. I wish there was a tutorial though. Unfortunately I didn't understand what it was about during my first playthrough (I died right after feeding beta). After I read the instructions it clicked. But still don't know how and if I'm suppose to find the lost logs.
As a side note you might want to look into making this game more accessible for people with hearing disabilities. Yes, I know it's a jam game :D just a suggestion for a full or a longer version (if there will be one). Great entry, thank a lot for this :)
Great job for a 24h 3d entry! I would add some kind of story and some notes scattered around so the player would have an incentive to try again :)
The music didn't sound good :( I don't know if it was an issue on my side though. I like the idea and visuals were nice. But I wish there was some kind of alternative ending when all health items are collected. Appreciate the message though :D
This is amaizing, thank you for this experience!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511803509989064705
Surprisingly realaxing one considering it's a game about literally reaping souls :D I feel like it's a bit too random though. But I'm not sure how to fix that without adding some level of stress :D
Nice one! I would go easier on post process effects, boom in particular. Also the game freezes sometimes when I use the sun beam :D but a great entry otherwise!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is your: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1516083891735564294
Great art and fantastic game feel!
Nice entry, good job! Extra points for daring to use a different engine than Unity :id:
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam, here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511062560954589187
Very nice graphics and the upgrade scene breaks up the pace. I'm not even sure what I can suggest :D may be adding more challange would be nice?
Great soundtrack, great visuals, very fun idea, and great execution! I would like give a feedback but I'm not sure what can be improved. Loved it!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511450799611822081
I love the Reigns + Tower Defence idea :D But I wish it was turn based. I can't read the cards fast enough :( The idea is worth exploring though
Nice visuals and relaxing music. I think it needs some and may be some pick ups and obstacles would be nice :)
Cool graphics and sound. Liked the aesthetic overall. My only advice would be to assign restart function to a button. Switching between keyboard and mouse in not a smooth experience :)
Wow taht was awesome! You definitely should develop it more! Congratulations!
Cool combination, awesome implementation! Co-op mode with friendly fire would be great!
Awesome graphics, nice sound effects and music, great controls and overall very polished experience! Great job!
Loved the idea. Made me feel relaxed and claustrophobic at the same time if it makes sense :) a level based mode would be great!
Loved the idea. Even in this state it is kind of addictive. Doesn't need advanced or complex graphic imo, just some polish :)
@gonutz sorry about that, changed the link. Glad you liked the idea :)
@gonutz didn't have much time to program and test proper ai, still I think it is a good enough for a jam :)
@Valden I think it would be great but I didn't had enough time to do that. And I really don't like to do network stuff :) but it might work on a single tablet.
@ppNovAqq thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@kbjwes77 Thanks, glad you liked it :)
@Jupiter_Hadley Thank you for the video, I really appreciate it!
@jharler Thank you :)
@khofez happy to see that you enjoyed it! I will check it out :)
@Dartictheunic @noumenus @petitpois @evandowning I'm happy that you liked it guys! Thank for trying it out!
@cristiano.m.garcia @McCordinator I will check your games now :)
@daneestar yeah, you are right. I should work on my visual skill in general.
@pkenney thank for the feedback! Glad you liked it. Yeah, I will change the color of dark tiles :)
@designernap thanks for letting me know, I'll try it! Glad you liked mine as well :)
@JoshyOshKenoshi Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Cool concept, great graphics. I liked it :)
Cool game, feels polished. With a race mode (or maybe even carrier mode) would be an awesome game!
This is a cool idea. Might be a fun mobile game. I Like it!
Great graphics, only particle effects might be polished a little. First part when there is only one button is too long imo, it gets boring. Not a bad entry otherwise :)
