Cool concept, really liked the slo-mo when you collide with an enemy

Cool concept, really liked the slo-mo when you collide with an enemy
Honestly one of my favourite games of the entire jam! I love the DK style graphics, repetition of level but each time you can do something different and the sound effects. Great job!
Thank you for your review of our game, really enjoyed this. Quite tough, I died a few times, but really enjoy the visuals and restricted field of vision. On my end at least there was no audio, would have been nice to have some to know when you've been attacked/robots have been called.
Really enjoyed the visuals and audio! Simple controls but that works perfectly, honestly just wanted another level or two. May have been nice to see what your current health is but apart from that great work!
A stunning jam game! Like Ollie said the small detail of pieces of the level swapping in the background really show how much effort was put into it!
As mentioned by others I too struggled to get past the two giant sword. Graphically it's really impressive however :)
Love a game with multiple endings. Great idea!
Enjoyable wee puzzle game, well done!
Really clever concept! I feel like it would need some fine-tuning but could definitely see this working as a full game :)
The art is really great and I love the double jump animation!
The art is amazing and really adds to the mood of the game. I think I would have preferred if the dialogue could be insta-completed or just display faster. Aside from that, great job :)
I like the idea of this but certainly feel like it is still lacking in content. It would be nice if there was more variation in the "There's nothing there" dialogue. Keep working on it and I'll come back to it!
Nice artwork! The dragon fight seems impossible to beat however
Absolutely loved the mechanic, simple but really effective and it ties nicely into the theme. It reminded me slightly of 140 (in a good way). The game is challenging but not too so which I appreciated. The art style is nice and simplistic which really fits the vibe.
I did manage to rotate the player when colliding with a platform and was able to fly horizontally so that was fun.
Really good graphics and I like the core concept. Clearly there are some balancing issues in terms of gameplay and bugs but it's pretty good for a jam game!
Amazing little arcade game! So polished, well done!
I like the audio! I think the goal is a bit undefined and it would be nice to be able to click on one of the red items and know that the player will definitely pick it up when he gets there because that doesn't always happen.
Hey Miko, thanks for playing our game on your stream earlier! Really enjoyed this, simple idea that is well executed. Can't say my high score was amazing however... Would have been nice to have some variation in pitch of sound effects just to avoid repetition. Aside from that great job :)
Really enjoyed this! Would love a fully fleshed game in a similar vein. Graphics and audio were on point :)
I really enjoyed it! Love the mechanic of 'having to do thing x while trying to solve puzzle. Quite similar in vein to our game (up to the voice acted overseer character), think you might enjoy it :)
@tristan10cats thank you! Yes, that may have been a large influence...
@akio You're very welcome, it was good fun.
Haha our apologies, it is meant to be a challenge. I am planning on recording a playthrough tomorrow for anyone who gets stuck.
@melvinng Thanks for your feedback! We have a walkthrough up on YouTube and are also in the process of making the hints for the Grail and Groundhog puzzles a bit clearer. If you meant an in-game tutorial or hints that could be something we add in the future. Maybe a difficulty setting?
@steamdr4gon Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback! Cannot lie half of Monday was spent having fun creating the easter eggs xD
@jag thank you very much for your feedback, can't believe you spent that long playing our game! *Spoilers* So for the billiard balls you are meant to find the corresponding ball in that coloured row (e.g. the 7th blue billiard) and use the number on it in the padlocks (going from the top row of balls down)
@gilazarini Thank you so much! Let us know what time you get when you do complete it! #freekeith
@toulou thank you for playing our game, apologies for causing it to overheat. Really glad to hear you enjoyed the jokes :)
@gamedev-and-architecture Yes almost scarily so, even up to the "Oh good you're awake" XD. Thank you for your kind words, really happy to hear it!
@sn4pi Thanks for the kind feedback :v:. We do feel sorry for what happened to Keith but it was sadly out of our control
@hijomo Wow thank you for the detailed & positive feedback! Yeah we updated the Groundhog puzzle after some feedback.
@mikoziq We really enjoyed your stream! You did really well considering it was your first! We will for sure try and tune in for a future one :)
@kazatan thank you for pointing that out, we will fix that in another patch. Really happy to hear you enjoyed the game!
@nablaz Your game sounds cool though, I will check it out later! Appreciate the kind feedback!
Fun idea! The jumping is a bit buggy for me, doesn't always work when I press Up arrow
It's a fun mechanic of course, and I enjoy the workplace typing vibe that is given off. I think the managers are a bit too OP, I couldn't find a way to avoid them once I was spotted.
Great idea though, I would love a free play mode where different objects react differently when thrown!
Enjoyable puzzle game! Good level design
The pixel art is excellent! As mentioned above I also feel that the gameplay is a tad repetitive. Additionally, I found that it's hard to tell why exactly I died, maybe a short animation could help? Oh and thanks for the review on our game!
