The audio is really well done in this game. Everything has appropriate sound and the levels are balanced well. The music is nice. The visuals are simple, but everything fits together, it's clean, and the animations are satisfying. I'm not really feeling the theme or gameplay personally, but there's a lot of promise in the other elements. Good work. :)
It didn't launch in fullscreen which was odd (application bar still showing) (windows) and there wasn't a way to fix that, but it wasn't a huge deal. The starting poem only read the first line or so before harshly cutting to the game itself with a very loud noise- the audio balancing is definitely an issue.
Beyond that though, it's a really solid game. I think the most impressive aspect is the mood- it hits is so well with the low gravelly tired voice, the atmospheric music, and the light and dark visuals. The anchor looks a little too 3D-mold for my personal taste and a little out of place visually, but the game definitely hits feeling in a way that works very well for it. I didn't mind the lack of a UI personally, the light going out and not knowing when it's done really encourages you to keep rushing for the next source of light.
Great job!
Fun premise and challenging gameplay- so challenging I couldn't win haha. Having to balance jumping and blocking was very difficult for me.
The music is well done- great quality and composition, but I personally felt it could've been more "hellish"- the harp trills in particular feel a bit out of place for the setting.
Graphics were excellent. The Satan artwork is particularly impressive. Something about the perspective of the road is a little off, making it almost seem rounded if that makes sense. I feel like the lavaballs could be a bit more interesting visually. The cityscape in the background and how it moves with the game is visually amazing.
Great job!
I really hope Julio's snail doesn't get outside. Very lovely game. Simple, straightforward narrative, and a touching message. There wasn't a lot of gameplay involved and the button mashing to keep from crying I think fell short just a tiny bit as a mechanic, but overall the game was beautifully done. As someone who struggles with holding back emotions, especially crying in front of people, I really appreciate the intent of the game. Great job! <3
The premise of the game is very amusing, so lots of props for creativity there. Punching all the mushrooms dudes felt very satisfying.
I wish the art was a little more consistent- the in-game art, cutscene art, and title screen art all being different styles (presumably AI?) but the game isn't being judged for graphics anyhow. The voice lines were pretty good for AI as well. The cut from the cutscene to the game itself feels a bit jarring.
Simple, amusing, and fun, good work!
Super cute and funny game. Solid mechanics. Fun to play. Wish there was more in the realm of sfx and music but overall very well done! Great job. :)
Very cute, somebody else mentioned the slow speed of the projectiles above, but it was a nice challenge! Running around and shooting things is always a good time. The environment is a little bland, but the characters are adorable. :)
The slow jam guitar and upright bass track was GETTING IT. As a Logic Pro user, I'm impressed at how close to an actually produced recording it sounds. The only thing I could ask there is some more hellish motifs, like dark pads, distant cackles or growling, screaming, the lick of distant hellfire... Love the door ring, crowd noise, and the coffee pouring sound, very atmospheric.
Visually it looks wonderful, the red/dark color scheme is really lovely. The "nice" tables / the customers are probably the low point graphically for me, but really it's wonderful.
I couldn't figure out how to get people to sit down or order after coming in. I thought having a worker in the greeter slot would do it, but they just kept standing at the front. It fixed when I restarted the game though. It's a pretty slow start, would be nice to have a fast forward function. More variety in the customers could've been nice as well. I was surprised when having the MC help the cashier made everything so much faster than having her hop around whatever role was behind. Feels like a bug, but maybe that's intended?
Really great job making this by yourself! Very impressive. Very cozy little game. :)
Very cute. The audio was very soft and hard to hear. The graphics were simple and pleasant. Not very challenging, but fun.
Music was nice, all the audio fit well, had a nice calming vibe to it. The graphics were consistent, but the art style was not my cup of tea, unless you're really zoomed in a lot of the smaller aspects kinda clip and don't look good. The little text descriptions on everything was a really nice touch. Not my favorite use of the theme personally, but it fits just fine. Took me a few minutes to figure everything out, but it was pretty straightforward and I didn't run into any major issues. I think overall it's a well-made game, so good job. :)
Lovely color scheme, art is simplistic and nice, wish the dots were little dwarf heads, love the audio lines and the inclusion of the mining noises, the music is very simple and the chord changes are a bit jarring. Fits into the theme very well! After reading the rules and playing around, I couldn't figure out how everything worked for a decent bit.
Very very cute, love the bathtub idea, it is delightful. Wish there was a better indication of health and when you've gotten hit. Music is good, love how intense it is compared to the surroundings, maybe wish it was a little more "piratey" but that's just a thought. This would be such a fun, silly multiplayer game to play with friends.

The art is so lovely, the overall look of the game is so pleasing. I wish there were music and menu sound, but the audio that is there fits well and creates a great atmosphere. This is a solid entry, great job. :)

What a neat take on the theme. :D I love how the ants move to the beat, and I particularly like the sfx for the bad smell / soldiers haha. It's a bit difficult to know if you're on the right track, and what's going on sometimes, but the game is overall very charming. A longer/more varied musical loop would've been nice. I appreciate how well it fits with the concept and visuals. I played for a good while but only managed to have the ants get the pinecone, out of the objectives, despite putting yellow scents around what I believed to be the quest objects. Love the creativity here. :)
