incredibly charming. I loved the voices. i wondered if there was a way to reduce the police meter, because it seemed like i had to kick some things blocking my way but it was going to call the police, so i got stuck.
I thought this game had a lot of promise but it quickly became apparent that I would have to invest a lot of time to get to see the exciting stuff, which is tough when I'm trying to review the games. I don't want to not give it a fair shake because i can see that it's well tuned and is a good expression of the sort of game it's trying to be, but I don't think I can give it the deep dive it deserves. :(
This game is really promising==> the combination of the music and the visual aesthetic is very winning. I wished there was a more immediate feedback about when your food/water/poop is in a bad state, because i felt like the fact that i had to basically guess as to how bad something was detracted from the game a lot. I thought it was a very unique take on the 'manage multiple things at once' type game but i thought the gameplay and feedback would have benefited from a little more tuning.
this was legitimately great. I loved it. My favorite by far.
Really good stuff. I thought it was too hard at first but I could tell that it was really well balanced and intentional so i persevered and beat normal. Really tightly tuned and polished much more so than your average game jam game. Would have liked a theme to justify the level movement stuff or something, but otherwise really good and compelling.
I like the aesthetic a lot, it was full of character.
I think this is a player issue but maybe not a game issue, i couldn't understand the second puzzle
I really enjoyed the aesthetic of this, but found the metaphor a bit confusing.
it took me a while to realize that i had to take the drinks off my tray when i got to the table.
Any game that has a low poly tropical island is good in my book.
I think this is a fun idea and with a bit more polish it could be really fun.
I liked driving around the island and think that leaning more into the exploration aspect would be good.
some issues -boost pads don't really work - only 30 seconds for a person driving up to the top seems too little - lol there are people at the escape boat. what are you waiting for! walk to the escape boat!
Volcano escape crazy taxi is a great idea tho
I love the aesthetic and the music. I'd buy a shirt with the main guy on it. I also loved the game play but i didn't get very far because i felt like the extremely hard jumps were being introduced too soon.
insanely strong aesthetically, really captured the depression of the empty office job. I think the monsters could have been more threatening and it would have gone well with the theme. As it stands once you work out how to fire the light bullets they aren't really a threat.
I loved loved loved what was happening during the intro but then I didn't understand what was happening when the game actually started.
I enjoyed it a lot but i thought the music was too intense for the sort of experience at hand
Made me remember night shifts from a long time ago. Captures the mood really well but i wish it ramped up more slowly instead of just throwing you in the deep end.
The mood was awesome, a totally unique take on the concept.
very coo. I felt smart for figuring out what was going on with the rock paper scissors minigame.
Interesting Controls, light mechanic and aesthetic is compelling. Very Enjoyable overall! The trees had a very strong physical presence for me.
really really awesome! The soundtrack is great and the way the ants move is very hypnotic. I was very seduced by the whole thing. My only complaint is that the start felt very linear - like you need to attack each group in a set order, though i suppose that's the point of the game. I would play it!
lol the track that plays when you start the maze is a BANGER. It got me very pumped up. I enjoyed the vibe, the character, the color pallete but trying to figure out where you can go is pretty frustrating! Still I'd play a longer game in this style.
Awesome, awesome style! The changing words element was cool, though i was sad I couldn't switch between the goblin and the traveller. I got one star then i got trapped in the fire area, and then the game froze.
I really liked the environment design and the page mechanic. The player sprites were very characterful too.

the moral choice at the end is the best moral choice in any video game ever, move over bioshock

this is the best of the 'control changes every 10 seconds' game that i've played this jam, congrats! this one has by far the most thought put into how to make that change fun and engaging. I really like that the enemies change too.

presentation is fantastic for a game jam game. Absolutely loved the menu and how i had to 'do it slow' to use it.
Got to the second level very willing to play more, but the combination of extreme precision requirement and some weird collider behavior where i would phase in and out of walls made it hard for me to justify trying more with the second level. Fantastic stylez tho!

I absolutely love the presentation and humor. voiceover was great, bossman and monster both have a lot of character. The music was epic and i was super surprised to hear that there were three different versions as you progress through the building! I loved the plot twist in the middle, best plot twist since Bioshock
The jump being kind of jank was a big problem for me and disrupted my enjoyment. For a platformer the jump needs to be on point! If you'd had time to polish that up this would be one of my faves
