I really like the shooting mechanics as well as the different weapons as having multiple weapons really adds depth to the game! I think maybe the shotgun should maybe have done less damage over range, but that's not an issue whatsoever! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Really love the aesthetics, really cool! Overall really satisfying gameplay!
Really fun and chaotic! I also really like the visuals as well as the fact time only moves when you move! Overall, a really good game!
Really cool visual effects! Overall, a really good jam entry!
Really cool concept and mechanics! Transferring health felt really polished as well! If you continued working on this it could become a full commercial puzzle game! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
I really liked how the animations transitioned between each other really well, I also really liked the small details like how the image on the guy working at the computer's shirt changed and how some of the items flying in had things written on them like "unity input system!" Overall, this is a great jam entry!
I really like the 2D in a 3D game visuals! I really like the satisfying shooting! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
I really like the concept and it fits in with the theme really well! I also really like the sound effects when you collect different people! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Very good idea and overall a very good game! I really liked the music and also the puzzles felt well made. I think maybe the coins shouldn't roll around as much when they are not being used as it could get frustrating sometimes when you would try jump on a coin and it would just roll out of place. Apart from that, overall this is a very good jam entry!
I really like the camera transitions between stages of a level and overall I think the concept of "having less life makes it easier to get through levels" is a really cool concept! This a really good jam entry!
I really liked the art style as well as the gameplay! Overall, a really good jam entry!
Stressful but fun! Overall, a really good jam entry!
Really good game, the dialogue parts were really funny as well as the game idea in itself. The procedural generation is also really well done. Overall, I think this is a really good jam entry!
I really like the spooky atmosphere within the dungeons! I also really like the puzzles! I think a feature that you could add is so you don't have to pay to go over a demon gate once you have already gone over it once, this isn't an issue whatsoever though!
Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
I really like the sound effects, graphics and the gameplay! It is really satisfying get a massive combo of points! Overall, its a really good jam entry!
This game is great! I felt like I was playing a classic Gauntlet-style game! The visuals, audio and controls felt really arcade like and helped add to that sort of vibe! It would be good in this sort of game to have some sort of variety in characters to make the experience a bit different each time you play, but I totally get the fact that there is only 72 hours!
Overall, this is a really good entry that I am likely to come back and play again!
Really cool game! I like the added stress of having to breath and do CPR on yourself š! The graphics, audio and effects worked really well together. I also really like the added details like the health bar changes color the lower down it gets as it is details like these that add depth to the game! The procedural generation also works really well! Overall, this is an amazing jam entry!
Really good game! Hacking doors is really satisfying due to the sound effects and the changing of the arrow-sprites when they had been hacked! Something which you could look into adding is procedural level generation as for a game like this it would work really well, however the levels you have made are really good! Overall, this is a really satisfying top down shooter which I am likely to come back and play again!
Really good game, I really enjoyed the puzzles. The graphics were also very good! Overall, this is a great jam entry!
I really like the AI of the enemies, the shop where you buy items from also has variety! The pixel art characters also look well made! The system with oxygen is also a cool take on the theme! The damage enemies do could maybe do with some balancing, however it is a jam so I totally get not being able to focus time on balancing! Another thing you could maybe add is making the cover and obstacles around the levels pixel-art-objects to do with the planet/environment where you are!
Overall, this is a well made and fun jam entry!
Really cool climbing mechanics! I really liked the animations for the main player as well! Overall, a really good jam entry!
I really liked the system of buying weapons with your lives as it really fit the theme, I also thought the pixel art graphics were well made! Overall, this is a really good game jam entry!
This is a really relaxing game, after rating about a hundred stressful ones, this is a nice breather! Overall, the graphics and audio work well to make a calming experience that's really fun! Good Job!
@HugzFnr I have just tested that glitch and it didn't occur in endless dungeons it only happened in Training so I guess not to drop the staff in training, however it should work if you move a tiny bit away and then back on. However, it all seems to be running fine in the main game. Thanks for the feedback!
@Mika-la-Grand About the source code, that was me before the jam trying to write a blog-post š, thanks for the feedback though and screen resolution is definitely something I will take into account during my next jam! Also about the fire staff, you can find them in endless dungeons they are just rarer than the Lighting ones!
@caveman54 I did notice this bug towards the end of the jam however it was so rare I focussed on more common bugs. Sorry, it just sounds like you have been unlucky! Thank you for the feedback!
@gonutz I love that style of review, really made me laugh. Thanks for the feedback, I will try in my next Ludum Dare to focus on polish a bit more as that is the general feedback! Thanks!
I really like the variation in enemies as this adds a lot of depth to the game! The graphics are also really good and well made! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
I really liked graphics and audio! The dash ability was also really good! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Good upgrade system! It could have done with a background maybe, and also some animation(it felt a bit static)! Apart from that, its a good jam entry!
Love the art, and the combat encounters are great! Overall, a really good game!
Really good game, I really like the art and the music. Overall, a great jam entry!
Great combat and really good footstep sound effects! Overall, a really good game!
Cool concept and game! Its quite dark but overall a great jam entry!
Really satisfying combat and I like the character select feature. The dungeons were also well made! Overall, a really fun game!
This game is so much fun and I really do think that this could be developed further into a commercial title! The puzzle elements are great as well as just the general innovation behind it! I am not a massive fan of the board game style movement however that might just be a personal thing, also some audio would benefit it! I think the idea and the core gameplay is there, as well as the really well designed puzzles. Overall, this is an amazing jam entry! PS also I love the fantasy theme!
This was a really cool interpretation of the theme! The jigsaw piece like connection system was also very well made! It was also very fun to connect the pieces in different ways to make it seems as though the different letters on the keyboard were somewhat buttons to activate cannons! There was also a tactical side of trying to get the same letter on the outsides to make it so one fire button would do the job for defending against any direction of attack, the camera zooming system was also very good! With some audio,the game could have felt a bit more atmospheric! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
I really liked the combat system of this game, as well as the narrative! Some audio would have been nice, but there are a lot of time constraints in a jam! You also managed to put a lot of content into a game made in such a short amount of time, which isn't easy! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!
This is a really good jam entry... very funny too! I think that the maps are randomly generated, if so then nice touch! The music was also fitting for the forest environment, the death was very brutal yet comedic. Overall, this is a very good jam entry which I can see myself playing again at some point in the future!
The visuals of this game are amazing! They are so pleasing to look at! The shooting mechanic also fealt really nice as it was accompanied by just the right aount of screen shake! The audio was also very good as it fit in nicely with the 8 bit theme! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
I really like this enrty, the farmin mechanics worked really nicely, and then you added the enemies coming into the farm which was a really good idea as you no longer just had to wait for plants to grow there was something there to occupy the player when they were waiting for the tomatoes to gow! The graphics were also really nice for a farming game like such, good job- had a really fun experience!You could maybe have add ed a few types of plants (even though I understand this is a jam and the game is about tomatoes XD)
This is a hilarious game, I absolutely loved building up my collection of cats, overall this is a great jam entry!
The art of this game is absolutely amazing, its so well mad and you can tell that it has the level detail of real paintings! Visually this game is magnificent! The camera has a weird glitch where it doesn't come back down to follow the player unfortunately, however the audio was also really fitting for the atmosphere of the game! It could have been longer but the again everything had to be hand drawn within a very small amount of time, but of what was there I really enjoyed it! made*
Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!
The art style of this game is really good, the enemy following AI was also really good, I would love to see this game developed into a full commercial game! Overall, this is a very fun jam entry!
This game is so relaxing, the colour scheme works really well, and seeing the ink drawings come to life is really cool! This is such an original interpretation of the theme! This audio worked well with the overall style! Overall, this was a very good jam entry! The audio*
This is a really fun game, you have also fit quite a lot of content into a game made in such a short amount of time! I thought that the merging system also worked really well, and the audio was really good, I was a little confused about the trading system but other than that overall this is a really good jam entry!
Some tutorial could have been nice to help understand what was going on, I really like the arced style graphics and overall atmosphere felt retro! This is a really good jam entry!
This game was a lot of fun! I spent most of my time building my house :laughing: , the building and destroying reminded me a lot of Terraria! I thought the underwater physics also worked nicely! The audio was also very fitting to the games overall fun and enjoyable atmosphere! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
This was a really fun experience! The music was really good for building tension and the numerous countdown clocks scattered around really helped to put stress on the player! The door sound effects also worked well and sounded really good! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
I really liked the movement system as it was really rewarding when you were able to master it, it also reminded me of Asteroids! The concept of adding gadgets was also very good! However I believe a space background would have fitted more to the atmosphere and them, the audio was also really good by the way! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
This game is epic! This felt like a paid for game, and it looked like that from the second that the menu showed up, and the amazing audio and graphics showed up! The gameplay itself was also super addictive, the story line was also really good, due to it's thought provoking nature! The tiled based exploration system was fascinating, and it felt amazing when expanding over mass pieces of land! Overall, this game was epic, and an amazing jam entry! PS I am pretty sure that the map was randomised in which case well done, as that is not easy to do in game jam!
This game is amazing and thoroughly entertaining, this definitely was with the theme! I really liked this game, apart from some audio that could be added, this game was perfect! Overall, this is an amazing jam entry!
Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!
The open world map was very well made, and the combat system worked very nicely, unfortunately I was sort of just thrown into the game without any instructions of how the crafting, clothing, mining (etc) systems worked, a tutorial would have helped a lot, but then again this is a jam and its hard to make a lot during a jam. Overall, this was a very fun and enjoyable jam entry!
I really like the graphics and the character design! The audio also worked really well, the dialogue/interaction system also worked well! I was a little confused about the fight bit though! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!

@joeshanahan Thank you for that feedback, you have given me a lot to think about going forwards! Thank you for the links and tutorials, I will have to give them a look!
@robopossum Yeah, trying to program over the physics system was difficult, anyway thank you for playing!
@lone-wolf @hiro-e @zsombro @robopossum Thank you all for replaying my game, can I just check that you all re rated my game as in the stars, much appreciated if you could!
@nachtwitch the link is fixed please could you re rate my game!
@u-tsang-clan thank you so much for the feedback- everything you said is something that will really help when developing games in the future, thanks for the support! @cmcoto thank you for the feedback, thanks to our studio voice actor for the voice over!
Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!
I really liked the art style of your game and the stealth mechanics also worked really nicely! The music is very fitting for the atmosphere as well! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
This is a really cool idea which leads to some pretty interesting levels! The audio worked well and added to the atmosphere, I also really liked the 2.5D art style! One small suggestion is to have the different spells line up with the keys on the keyboard just so it isn't as confusing or hard to memorise! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
This was a really good take on the theme! I replayed a few times to see if I could get different endings to the one I previously did! The graphics were also really nice to look at! It would have been nice to have some background music, but then again it is a jam and there is a lot of time constraints! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
I really liked the weapon system and it felt well made, the audio sounded very retro which I liked! I think you should be able to shoot while jumping so you can be a bit more tactical, but overall I really liked this game, and its a really good jam entry!
Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!
The effects and lighting were super pleasing to look at! My score was 90, I unfortunately couldn't get to 100 :cry: The particle effects were also really cool, some audio would have been nice but then again it is a jam and there are a lot of time constraints, anyway I had fun experience playing your game! Overall, this was very good jam entry! PS the neon graphics were epic!
Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!
This is a really good jam entry, I really enjoyed building up my farm empire and creating mini towns! The ordering-people around system also worked very well as well as the trade system. However when you get a chicken coup people want that toothpaste looking thing when you have to save up money to get that, but I couldn't get any money as everyone wanted that and I couldn't afford it. Overall, with a bit of work this could turn into a really good commercial mobile app, and it's a really good jam entry!
I really like the particle effect that came off of the void, and the concept was really cool! Some sections could have been more puzzle like, but the atmosphere of the game was great: the music definitely fits! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
This is such a good puzzle game, this could totally be developed for mobile. The audio was also really good and fit the simplistic art style, the controls and how the game worked was easy to pickup, but also led to some challenging puzzles! Overall, this is an amazing jam entry!
I really liked the art style of this game as well as the idea itself! The audio also worked nicely, as well as the inventory system! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
I really liked the small details in this game like the fact that each life has a different looking player character! The music worked very well along with the rest of the game! It wasn't very skill based and it was more or less trial and error, I suppose there was a bit of memory-gam involved as well. I think that the game might have benefited from some way of telling where traps are goiung to be as maybe they should flash up for a split second at the start of a stage so the player has a tiny amount of knowledge to go on, instead of just walking and hoping for the best! Overall, I thought the game was very well made, and the concept was pretty cool, however I couldn't really tell how it linked with theme (was it starting with no knowledge maybe?), anyways this was a really good jam entry!
Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!
Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!
I really like the concept and the art is really good! I enjoyed seeing all of the āBizzarreā items that came up for sale, the music also fit reall nicely as well as the sound effects for if you made a profit. This overall is a really good jam entry!
Absolutely amazing UI and the graphics look so nice, I had a lot of fun playing this! Its fun and it can get quite hectic as well as you get further on! Overall, this is a really good jam entry, and with audio it could turn into a really fun mobile app!
Hi could you please re rate my game =, the link now works- I will also rate your game, sorry for this very forward sounding message!
Great concept! The movement feels well refined, however maybe the it should jump just a bit higher! Overall, this is a really good Compo entry!
This is a really good puzzle game! I really like the art style too! The sounds maybe could have done with a bit more mixing. Apart from that overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Fun game, I liked the combat! The arrows seemed to lock onto you and not go in a straight line, however it wasn't much of an issue! Overall, this is a really good Compo entry!
Cool concept! The voiceover was also a nice touch! Overall, this is a good jam entry!
Really good concept! The gameplay was really fun too! It might just be preference but maybe some sort of speed up feature would be good so the resources come in quicker. Overall, I had a really fun time playing this one, and its also a very unique jam entry! Amazing game!
This is a really good submission! This could easily be developed into a full app! The puzzles also felt well made!
Really good graphics and animation! Maybe there should be a fence around the edge, just so it isn't floating... apart from that. Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
I really liked the atmosphere of this game as well as the narrative elements! Maybe the time in the blackout world should have been equal to the real world, so just more stuff in the real world too. Also, on the HTML version I couldn't see my mouse pointer. Overall, I enjoyed playing and I thought it was a great jam entry!
Cool puzzle game, and a good interpretation of the theme! The audio was also really good! Overall, this is a really good Compo entry!
Cool idea! I really liked the graphics too! The tower defence mechanics also felt very refined! The manual shooting trail renderers always faced one direction, which isn't an issue, but maybe could have been tweaked. Overall, this is a great Compo game! Just replayed, and the trail renders are in the right direction when you move your camera!
Hilarious game! Really liked the gameplay, very fun game! One time my duck sort of kept getting pulled to the right side of the screen, went away though and not a massive issue! Overall, this was a great jam entry!
I really liked the gameplay of this game! I like how because your main goal is protecting your sapling, instead of also having to protect yourself the player doesn't have a health bar, but in fact can get stunned! Really good design! The graphics were also very aesthetically pleasing!
The polish of your game is also very good, one minor suggestion would be to add some more screen shake. The different enemies were also very good, however sometimes it appeared as though the healthbar wasn't there but they still had one hit left, this was probably only a visual bug and it didn't take away from my experience overall!
Also, maybe earlier on some more verticality could be added in, as the jump didn't feel too important which was a shame as it felt very well polished and fun to use!
Overall, I had a very fun time playing this game, and its an amazing jam entry!
I really like the effects, as well as the different potions that were scattered around! Some control when you are in the air would be nice for regular jumps, or if there was some control, just more control! Overall, this is really good jam entry!
Really cool art and a really good concept! This is quite a unique puzzle platformer! Some of the levels were quite challenging, which made it satisfying when you finished it! Overall, this is a great Compo entry!
Amazing game! The graphics were stunning and the fire effect fit perfectly within the environment! The artwork for each character for when you were speaking to them was also great! This could easily be developed into full release (and I would get it!) Maybe some sort of map feature would have been nice, but that would just be an extra to an already great game!
I really like the graphics and the audio! I was a little bit confused when first playing, but apart from that: Overall this is a really good jam entry!
The atmosphere of this game is very good, as well as the core mechanic being very unique! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
Really like the graphics, as well as the take on the genre! Overall, this fit the theme very well!
This is such a good entry! The movement, combat and AI all felt very refined! The combat was also very intuitive and fun! Something that really stood out to me were the cut scenes as well as the atmospheric graphics! The different chess pieces surprisingly turned out to transfer well into a 3rd person shooter! Overall, this is an amazing game!
Really good concept, and I really liked the graphics! The game is also very atmospheric! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Great game! Super fun gameplay and very funny! The decision system was really good, just a suggestion maybe after you click an option some text appears telling you the outcome eg "This cannot go unpunished" some text like "the child penguin starts to cry frozen tears"! Overall, really fun experience and this is an amazing compo entry!
Really liked the level design as well as the camera movement! Overall, it was a very fun platformer!
Really funny game! I really liked the intro sequence and the combat felt good! Maybe the enemies bullets could have been just a bit slower so dodging wasn't as challenging, might just be preference! Overall, this was a really good Compo entry!
Really good interpretation of the theme, and well put together! The game could sometimes get laggy with all the particles, but apart from that: Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Great gameplay! The turn based combat felt very refined and polished! I couldn't tell if my money was going down or not, might have just been a visual bug! The audio was also very good! The attack log was also a very helpful feature! Overall, this is an amazing jam entry!
Really liked the concept and the gameplay was very fun! One tiny thing, is that I think the same button should have been used for using the computer and picking up/dropping items, which is something so small XD Overall, I had a fun time playing this game!
Really good gameplay! I really liked how you had to juggle between combat and catching the child! The combat was also very satisfying! It would have been good to have some verticality to the levels, like some platforms maybe! Overall, I had a really fun time playing this one, and its a really good Compo entry!
Really chill game! The graphics are really nice, and its a great game to play after playing lots of stressful fast paced games! I had a really fun time playing this game, I also really liked the transitions when zooming in on trees!
Really liked the concept and the gameplay felt very smooth! The core mechanic felt very refined and well made too! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
Nice variety in this game, and it was really fun! I liked the different mini games, sort of reminded me of Dumb Ways to Die if you have ever played that- just lots of little mini games! The graphics were also very good! Overall, this is a great jam entry!
Really good game! I liked how it goes from this cute family based game, to what is on its own a cool little stealth game (when you are burgling)! The pixel art graphics were also very nice, and good job for making it topical lol! The music was good but maybe a few more foley sound effects could have been good, for example the cars that go past you on the street could make a sound. Overall, I really enjoyed playing, and its an amazing jam entry!
I really like the music and the concept of this game! Unfortunately, I found it quite hard to grab stars, but if that was fixed this game could really go somewhere. Overall though, this is a really good Compo submission!
I really liked the graphics, they were very calming! The audio was also very nice! I think the game was made for AZERTY which was a bit weird on QWERTY (maybe include some sort of options menu to change that.) Overall, this is a great jam entry!
Cool idea! The concept of this game is really good, as well as the design and graphics. I fell like if the commands sort of helped people get through a level (for example: doing one noise could make people move left) then this game could easily be expanded upon. Overall, this is a really good compo entry!
Really liked the graphics and the peaceful atmosphere! I didn't really get anywhere apart from flying around, but the controls felt really smooth! The concept was also great, and for a first jam this was a really good game!
@solah Thanks a lot for the feedback! Yesterday, I released a post jam version with decreased difficulty on the first few waves, if you are interested in playing! Don't feel like you have to re rate, after all its a post jam version, so just if you were interested! Thanks again for the feedback!
@notapixelstudio If you let me know what platform you are on I can try and build the game for it! It would be great if you could let me know if it works!
Its currently building for web! @notapixelstudio
Probably should have done this at the start, just wasn't working. Hopefully it will this time, if not I will build for mac too!
@notapixelstudio The web build is now live!
@trigueiro @bredian Thanks for pointing this out, not sure if bredian this is the error you were referring to, however I have added a disclaimer to the web page! Thank you for the feedback!
@iak Yeah, thatās pretty much it lol! Cats will one day rule the Earth unless you stop them (or something along those lines)! Thank you for playing the game on stream!
@dkviplounge Thanks for the feedback! If it helps, there was a timer in the bottom left corner of a circle defilling. Thanks for playing!
Really like the gameplay, it was really fun having to balance exploration with coming back and plugging stuff in! The graphics and lighting were aesthetically pleasing too! I wasn't sure how to use the ladders (or if you could) but that wasn't too much of an issue as the level design allowed there to be multiple routes to the location I was trying to get to, which was really good! Overall, this is a great jam entry which I had fun playing!
I really like the scene transitions, and the level of polish on this game is insane! The gameplay is super fun, and the audio really fits the overall theme! Overall, this is an amazing jam entry!
The visuals on this game are immense. I maybe would have added some music, but then again just having the woodland noises was very effective for creating atmosphere! Overall, this is an amazing Compo game!
Really liked the concept, and the audio was epic! I had a great time playing this game!
Good concept! I thought the yell mechanic was well made too! Overall, this is a really good compo entry!
Nice concept and level design! Sometimes I felt that I was going out of my way for an apple when really I needed a rock and the apple just happened to be in the way, and caused me to panic a bit, not an issue just I'm not very good at the game lol! Overall, this is a really good jam game!
Really liked the concept as well as the visuals, it was also a good use of theme! Maybe if your hunger and the flames displayed variables, it could have also gone down a resource management style game path! The music and sound effects were also very nice! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Great game! Really fit the theme. I also like how the starting gun was in time with the music! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
I really liked the graphics of this game, as well as the concept! I once found myself getting stuck in a collider, but that wasn't too much of an issue! Overall, I had a fun time playing this game!
Really good audio on this game! I also really liked the concept! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
This is a really fun and addictive browser game, which fit the theme well. Maybe some alternative sound effects would have been nice. Overall, I had fun playing this game and is a good jam entry!
I really liked the atmospheric mood of this game, and I also though that visuals were great! I especially liked the blood effect! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Good puzzle game! The concept was also pretty unique! Overall, this is a really good jam entry! I also liked how the rocks felt pretty heavy from a gameplay point of view!
Great concept! The gameplay and controls felt well refined too, I also really liked the graphics! Sometimes, from certain angles, it was hard to feed humans to the plants (didn't happen that much though.) Also, maybe the humans should have been scared when they see a gardener bashing someone around the head with a club... I know I'd be scared lol! Overall, had a really fun time playing this game, and its a great jam entry!
I like the turned based combat, as well as the arena graphics! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Very atmospheric game! The use of light also really adds to the games mood! Overall, this is a great jam entry, which I enjoyed playing!
Nice graphics, which were quite visually appealing! The sound effects were also very nice and fit the rest of the game! I sometimes felt that it was a bit tricky to get my arrow to move around the wold in time, this speed might have been okay though if the camera had been more zoomed out so I could see when a ship was coming from further away. Overall, this was a fun Compo entry!
Really nice concept! This was a really fun game, straight forward gameplay but super enjoyable! Overall, this was a really good jam entry!
Really like the graphics! The combat was also very unique by being only able to shoot left or right! A health bar might have been helpful or some way of seeing the player's health. Also, some checkpoints would have been very helpful, as there is a lot of fun to be had, however repeating stuff if you die can be annoying sometimes. Overall, I enjoyed playing your entry, and it is a great Compo submission!
Great game! The graphics are really good, the concept is simple but addictive. I mean it ticks pretty much everything that you need to make a good compo game! I also really liked, the progressing neon live sign too!
Super fun gameplay! It was a very neat take on the snap-to-wall movement by restricting the amount of moves you can actually do! Maybe some more sort of puzzle elements would have been nice for example adding some moving boxes that would help the robot reach the end goal! The audio and graphics were also very nice, and the constantly changing picture and writing on the walls was also very good! The game has a lot of polish too for Compo! Overall, this is an amazing Compo entry!
I really liked the graphics as well as the concept! Maybe having some form of enemy would be good too, but then again its a jam and time runs out quickly lol! Overall, I had a fun time playing this game!
Really like the graphics! The way in which you interpreted the theme is really unique too! The narrative was also very good, and the controls were very intuitive! This is a really good first jam game!
Nice concept! The growing mechanics and the combat fell quite refined and satisfying! Maybe some animation on the enemies/player may have been nice too, however it is compo so I totally understand you don't have much time. Overall, I really liked this entry!
I really like the animations on the horse and the audio is good too! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Great graphics! I really like how the music changes during the boss battle too! The movement also felt well refined, as well as the jumping too! Overall, this is a great jam entry!
I really like your use of lighting in this game! Also the controls felt well refined. Some audio would have been nice, but I understand that this is your first Unity project! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Cool idea! I really liked the look of the pixel art people too! A tutorial might have been nice to add, but its a jam so I totally get that time runs out fast lol! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
The game is very addictive and the main movement system is really well thought out, you have to keep your reflexes on point! The increasing difficulty also felt fair and the music in the background was really really cool, gave me some space-age style vibes. A sound effect might have been nice for turning, but maybe that's just me. As a hyper-casual game this would do incredibly well on mobile, definitely one I'd download... it is like I say very addicting! Overall, this is a really fun game!
@Gekoo1337 Oh right, Iāll give it another play and listen out for it!
I really enjoyed playing, the minimalist graphics and the puzzles were very clean, and the entire game was extremely well polished! The puzzle mechanics were also polished very well, and I liked the unique features like the switches and the locks! The sound design also worked very well with creating tension with the timer, and the sound effects on the whole worked very well with the game!
The theme maybe could have been imposed in the puzzles in some way? Maybe that's just me, because the theme was very much present in the sense of the timer being there.
Also very impressive including a leader board in a Ludum Dare jam game! Overall, I had a lot of fun playing this one especially due to the high polish!
I really like the minimalist graphics and the idea is really solid, and the luck based gameplay does mean that losing is inevitable, so it definitely fits the theme there! I think the game may have benefitted from a tutorial, but given the amount of time you had its understandable why you couldn't add one! In a future version there could be more ways of determining what's around a square too possibly, to increase the strategy aspect? Apart from that, its a really enjoyable mine-sweeper-like puzzle especially because of the nice touches like animations.
I really enjoyed playing, the visuals were really relaxing and the gameplay was also really relaxing! The concept was very funny, and the writing was great! I really liked the ending too... in reality, it's inevitable you'll get fake plants from IKEA...
The game felt very polished and the puzzle mechanics worked well too, some info on the plants would be nice like desert type plants work well with plant X, Y and Z for example, but the gameplay as it is, is very enjoyable! I really had a lot of fun playing this one, this is an amazing entry!
I really liked the concept, I've not seen a reactions based game mixed with a match-em up style game before, so that created some very interesting gameplay! I really liked the effects as well, especially for matching people up as well! The game felt a bit punishing by how much time was removed when touching the grim reaper, but that might just be personal preference! Overall, I really liked the game and the concept was super cool, great entry!
I really liked the graphics and I also liked your story take on the theme, especially how you intertwined it with the gameplay. I also liked the way you showed the text in the game, I've not really seen that way of communicating before, having the text float up like that, but I actually really liked that! The lighting effects and particle effects definitely added to the polish of the game, and I though the checkpoints were fair too! The overall game felt like a complete experience and its impressive you did all of that in a jam!
The enemies didn't seem to be too much of a threat, like I seemed to touch them and they didn't damage me, but the other platforming challenges were fun and the breakable platform also felt like a good way to break up the gameplay (pun maybe intended) and add some variety to the gameplay. The cutscenes at the start and end were also a nice way to set the story, some sound effects in them might have been nice, but that's a nit pick because what you managed to achieve in the jam time was very good!
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience, and this is a really great game!
The graphics were amazing and I really like how you used a story interpretation of the theme! The audio was also very good, and the general atmosphere created was amazing! I would have liked some story parts spread through the gameplay to break it up, like maybe some story revealed at each obelisk, but I understand its a jam and what you managed to achieve in the time space is very impressive! Overall, this is a great game with outstanding visuals!
I really like the gameplay and the graphics looked very nice! The AI for the different ship-mates worked very well and the management feel to the game was very enjoyable, as it made you multitask and plan ahead which was great! It also allowed for some strategical gameplay like at the start I'd get them all onto different floor in preparation! The animations were also very polished and the different ways the holes would be patched up was a nice touch and added another layer of polish!
The holes could have maybe had some particle effects to show water coming in, but I totally understand the time constraints and what you managed to achieve in the time was great, I also think the ship should have maybe taken bit longer to fill up, but that's because I was really enjoying playing and wanted it to last longer! Some of the characters would appear on top of each other, maybe they should've stood next to each other if they were in the same place, that is absolutely a nit pick because the game was really well made!
Overall, this game is very well polished and super fun to play, this is a really great game, which is why I wrote so much about it because I really liked it! Very well done, extremely fun!
The graphics are really nice and the city management tools work great! The variety of buildings also worked well with the gameplay! Some time increase options might have been nice, but I understand its a jam, but just an idea! Overall its a great game!
I really liked the the player's animations and the idea was very humorous! The sound effects added to the game, while there weren't many of them, the ones that were there were very good!
I actually think the awkward controls worked well to create more panic in the player and to make the game feel more hectic, I think maybe the bouncing off the walls feature should have been disabled around doors just to make them a little bit less frustrating when you go through them, the other times where the bounce feature is used though works well and adds to the overall comical feel of the game! The level design worked well, especially where you had to go for multiple runs to actually find the goal, this gave the game a sense of exploration which I enjoyed!
Overall, I enjoyed playing, great game!
The amount of systems in this game is very impressive, especially in a game jam! Each one also felt quite polished and complete. The shop system worked very well and I like the fact there are two layers to any object, the time it takes to make and the cost of it, I feel like it could lead to some very strategical gameplay! The sound effects were nice too but I felt like there could have been some music in the background, and maybe some more coherence between the weapons and the actual surrounding eg cannons and walls but defending a grandson, I suppose that juxta position is what made me rate it very highly in humour! Overall, I really enjoyed playing and the game feels very feature complete! Great game!
I really enjoyed playing! While its a simple idea you were able to do a lot with it and you executed it very well. The variety of spells and the things that come on to screen were a good way to shake up the gameplay. I also like the quality of life features liked being able to see where the ball is even if its off the top of the screen. The sound effects were also a nice addition! Some particles might have been nice when hitting the ball, but that's totally a personal suggestion because the game on the whole was extremely well polished! Overall, I had a lot of fun playing!
Really great mood, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't have an extreme jump in my chair during every jumpscare! The audio was really well done and incorporating the instructions on how to get rid of the monsters into the environment really kept the player in the experience, which was really great instead of it being UI! The animations felt well done too and the graphics were great as well!
I personally think the monsters should have been 3D models, I thought at first that the drawings would be sketches of what they looked like which symbolically, that works very well like the person you play as has scared themselves by keeping monster pictures on the wall so is always scared they are coming, but for me it kind of broke away from the horror-feel to it... don't get me wrong this is a minor thing because I was still absolutely terrified playing this the entire time! Overall though this is probably the best mood-game I've played so far, I even like the text style as well!
The text could have maybe stayed on the screen a bit longer, like a click to continue thing because I felt as though I didn't always have enough time reading them. Maybe the action for looking under the bed and pulling up the covers could have been reversed as well, so down for looking under and up for pulling the covers over you? These are both very tiny nitpicks, because this is such a well made game overall with a very high amount of polish!
Overall, the audio was amazing and so were the graphics and the mood of the game was incredibly well made as well. This is an incredible jam entry that I had a lot of fun playing!
Also I want to add that the general gameplay was also great! The reason I've wrote this much feedback is because I really like this game! Anyway! Thank you for submitting!
I really had fun, great idea and well executed! I really appreciated the little touches like the lamp falling over and being able to swing on the chandelier! The controls felt good as well and the difficulty felt right too!
Here are some suggestion, but honestly, the game is super well executed as it is, so these would simply be additions! Some indicators as to when things would break would have been nice, and some variation in music might have been nice because the game lasted for a short while (maybe due to my sub-par skills at the game!) so maybe the music could have continued instead of starting again. But those are tiny nitpicks!
I also liked how the arms pointed at the player, very nice polish. Overall I had a lot of fun playing and this is a really great entry!
Really great idea for a puzzle platformer! The level design was great, the sound effects and music were well made, especially with the organs, gave off a vampire-feel to it! The platformer controls felt very tight, only had an issue on the smaller platforms, but by issue I really mean me being bad at precision platforming lol. The variety in the gameplay as the levels progressed added a good level of challenge and the over polish was amazing with the death effects, the screen-shake and the end of level animations with the platforms disappearing: felt very retro and I really liked it!
I especially thought the spinning platforms were a great addition because of the way they force traversal of the level and stop the player from just "camping" a spot. From a puzzle perspective, the buttons attached to the turning platformers required a good deal of puzzle solving, and they were really fun to use!
The stages with the two light sources felt a bit punishing as it was sometimes hard to distinguish where you could stand for it to be safe, I'm sure if this was a full game, the more levels I played using it I would get use to it though! The text maybe should have been a more obvious pixel art font, that sounds like such a nit pick, because it is, but just for some extra retro points!
It was quite hard to think of any critical feedback because of the fact that this is such a well polished game with a great concept and executed amazingly. Overall, I really had a lot of fun playing and this is an amazing entry!
Overall deaths: 25 š
@pashaloban Thanks!
@simplepotential Thank you! Iām glad you got the hang of it!
@orcifried Thank you! Iām glad you liked the mechanics!
@davide-rossetto Thank you for the feedback, yeah a retrieval button might have improved the experience! Thanks for playing!
@pinballjunior Im glad you found it fun thanks for playing!
@very-bad-bunny-studio Thank you for playing! I was trying to do an accurate village name haha. Thank you for the feedback too, and yeah a retrieval system would have worked well!
@benskca Thank you for playing, some retrieval system would have worked well, I added in some red berries you can eat that spawn behind the train to speed you up to try and catch the train again, but yeah a retrieval would have helped! Thanks again for the feedback!
@waffleworksgames Thank you for playing! Thanks for the feedback, thereās some red berries that spawn behind the train to increase your speed, but some better way of getting your axe back would have helped a lot! Thanks a lot for the feedback!
@squaxcom Iām really glad you liked the art! Hahaha it might be a bit sudden! Thank you very much for the feedback!
@roblaro Iām glad you like the boasting feature! Thank you for the feedback! Thereās some red berries you can collect to increase your speed, but I think a returning feature would have worked well! Thanks again for the feedback, itās very much appreciated, I hope you had fun playing!
@mathglo I'm really glad you liked it! Yeah, I think that noise definitely should have had some adjustments its quite jarring, thank you very much for the feedback and thank you for playing!
@sagiii I'm glad you like the idea! Yeah, it could have done with a few adjustments, especially with the last sound effect as it hits hits the village. Thank you for the feedback and for playing! And thanks for submitting your game too, it was so polished and the whole game-feel was amazing!
@fifut Thank you for playing! The sound at the end is a bit loud haha
@yetanother Thank you! And thanks for playing!
@sawyer Iām really glad you liked the graphics and idea! Thank you for playing and thanks for the feedback!
@zimny11 Thank you for playing and leaving feedback! I'm really glad you liked the pixel art and music! Yeah, I think they could have probably fit the shape of the trees better in some places! Thank you for that feedback its very much appreciated and thank you very much for playing!
@blockerz I'm really glad you liked the sound and graphics! I agree completely, I think they either need to be more reliable by having a higher spawn rate or maybe they allow you to run through trees so it's easier to catch back up without getting stuck on them. Thank you for the feedback and thank you very much for playing!
@jimbly Thank you for the feedback! I'm sorry to hear the aim was off for you, and yes some better way of getting the axe back would have been better! I'm glad to hear you had fun and thank you again for the feedback and thanks for playing!
@shawn-moore Thank you so much for all of that feedback, that is greatly appreciated! I'm really pleased you liked the sound and graphics!
I really like your idea of having the tutorial screen appear when you click play, because reading a tutorial by choice does feel like a chore in a game jam lol. Using those signs would have helped as well, maybe for the first playthrough if you touched them or something the gameplay would freeze too to give the player time to understand each feature as it shows up? I also agree with stating the intentions more clearly too, like maybe at the start where that exclamation appears above the lumberjack it could just be a little speech bubble that says, "I need to delay the train so more villagers can escape"!
With the axe, I like the idea of it taking a few seconds, I'd thought that maybe it could come back to you if it goes off screen so that way there's still a bit of a consequence but not as drastic as it is now? For coherence a similar system for the trees with boxes would have worked well!
Thank you for all your feedback, its very kind of you to take the time to write such valuable feedback! Genuinely thank you!
PS: You're right about that sound effect š
@dusho Iām glad you had fun! Thank you for the feedback too and thank you for playing!
@nick-rafalski Thank you! Iām really glad you had fun playing p!
@geckoo1337 Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, I should have made them more representative looking back. Thank you for playing!
@proxy-games Thank you so much for that feedback, itās very much appreciated! The catching back up state could definitely do with some improvements, Iām not sure if you saw but theres some red berries that spawn behind the train as it moves that if you touch will give you a speed boost to give you a chance to catch back up. I recognise there could still be a lot of work to be done on the system as youāve rightly pointed out it can feel unfair when that happens. But thank you very much for the feedback, itās extremely appreciated! Thank you for playing and Iāll check your game out later!
@binaryprinciple Thank you so much for playing and for writing feedback! Iām really glad you liked the style of gameplay too! Yes, I think some way of removing that frustration of losing your axe would have been a good addition. Thank you again for the feedback! Iāll make sure to okay your game later!
@xedur I'm really glad you liked the art and audio! Thank you for the feedback about the difficulty too! Thanks for playing!
@jackaljk Thank you so much for the feedback! I agree the berries should have been more helpful than they ended up being. Thank you for playing!
@ronanrory Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback! I really do appreciate this really detailed feedback! For the second bug, Iāve not encountered that or the tree standing back up, so Iām really sorry you were the one to find this! That sounds like it would be very annoying!
The big trees are meant to be cut down after bouncing off the front of the train and then throwing your axe, this would answer your points about big trees just tipping over and why it would seem annoying standing next to a tree to chop it down over time. There actually is a collision matrix where the axe can interact with the top parts of the tree and the player can only hit the log part, but youāre right, after the trees hit it shouldnāt be collideable by the player.
Iām sorry to hear you didnāt have the best experience with the game, I hope you have had a great Easter too! Iāll play your game when Iām at my computer next!
Thanks again for taking the time to write detailed feedback, itās very valuable feedback so thank you again!
@pizzasgood Thank you for those suggestions! Iāve encountered that before, I think I should have increased the axes hit box when it collided with a tree so it can be picked up more easily. I especially like the idea of having spare axes scattered around! Thank you for the feedback and thank you for playing!
@moooks Iām really glad you had fun! I agree a better way to get the axe back would be good! Thank you for playing!
@jzucc12 Thank you for playing! The momentum part comes from bouncing off the train to get momentum to knock down bigger tree, so if you can time your throw right you wonāt have to do that process! Thank you so much for playing and leaving feedback!
@ronanrory @pizzasgood @moooks @jzucc12 Iāll play your games when Iām next at my computer!
@john-llyod-apolo Thank you so much for playing and thank you for the feedback! Thank you for bringing that bug to my attention too. Thanks again!
@homineludens Thank you for the feedback! I agree there should have been an easier way to collect back the axe! Thank you for playing!
@3lstmsinatrenchcoat Thank you so much for the feedback! The berries could have probably done a lot more, maybe they could have knocked down trees while you are running that fast so you donāt get stuck on them as easily. Thank you for playing!
@itsboats Thank you so much for playing this on stream, just watched the VOD back now and it was great being able to watch you play and give live feedback, you gave me a lot of valuable feedback, thank you! Iām really glad you like the idea! Thanks for playing!
I really like the graphics and the overall retro feel felt good! I really liked how the enemies faded in too when they spawned and the overwhelming-panic feeling really added to the mood! Some explosive weapon might have been satisfying, but that's totally a personal opinion of mine! Overall, I had a lot of fun playing!
I really like the pixel art and the overall gameplay mechanics felt well polished! I really enjoyed seeing the different types of guns you could get and the bullet hell feel came across well. It definitely fit the theme in terms of getting overwhelmed but it seemed to all maybe go too quickly from easy to hard? It maybe felt like this because of the small size of the game world, which I appreciate might just be me because the smaller size of the game world gives across a cool retro feel! Overall, I enjoyed playing!
Fun gameplay loop and I especially like the animation of throwing the sheep perfectly each time, very satisfying! The graphics were nice and the background music also worked well too! The game felt quite easy and could have maybe done with some counterpoint gameplay mechanic to throwing in the sheep to add some more strategy. Overall, the gameplay loop was very fun and it felt well polished!
Really interesting idea, I like the shop system and the inventory system, I think the gameplay has a good layer of complexity to it too! I think the game may have needed to have an interactive tutorial, but apart from that was a cool concept and was well executed! Overall, great game!
I really like the take on the theme, and the painting-on defences mechanic was really unique! It took me a while to understand what was going on but when I got the hang of it it was fun to play! Some more clear way to show what paints to use on which enemy would be nice, like maybe if you hover over an enemy type some UI could show you because the blue ones were weak to blue spray but the red ones didn't seem to be weak to red, that might just be a personal thing though. Overall, I really enjoyed playing and this is a great entry that made me want to play longer to get a better high score!
I really liked the pixel art graphics and the material gathering and crafting was fun. Its also very impressive how you've managed to do world generation in the space of the jam, it also worked very well and produced some cool maps! I would have liked to have more time to explore the island and gather materials as it feel a bit jarring when the bugs kicked in, however this feature did make it different from other survival games, I feel as though it should have been introduced overtime rather than all at once. Apart from that, I think this game has a lot of potential and I would love to play a post jam version if you release one as the idea of involving the bugs was very cool and unique! And also, the world generation was seriously impressive!
The game felt amazing and the gameplay was very polished, the bullet ricocheting mechanic worked very well and the attention detail also was noticeable like the on screen effects. The variety in the zombies was also a nice touch as it led to different tactics needing to be adopted for different scenarios. I feel like the main mechanic wasn't really delaying the inevitable as you could go on forever (e.g. the tactic where you camp a corridor). The audio was very good and the overall presentation of the game was really really good. I had a lot of fun playing, and has one of the best game feels of the jam so far! This really is an amazing game!
I really liked the graphics and the tower defense style gameplay in there was really cool. I liked the use of harder enemies being introduced to add variety and I liked the movement system, quite unique having a point and click shooter! Some UI for when they are in bound would have been nice, and I think the gun maybe should have been faster by default, just because of the large amounts of enemies, those are completely personal suggestions for additions because I really like what was there! Overall, this is a really great entry!
I really enjoyed the experience, the animations were very good and the graphics were amazing. The game definitely fit the theme and the sense of panic was definitely created through the use of the music and the particle effects and the difficulty increase in terms of more holes spawning over time. The hammer feature was a great addition to the gameplay, but there needed to be a way of removing the chance element to make it feel more fair. Apart from that, this was an extremely well made game with lots of polish and I really enjoyed playing!
Very funny game! The audio was great and a very interesting concept! I had some trouble with aiming, with the pool appearing not where I was hitting if that makes sense, that might have been intentional to create some extra challenge though! Overall, I had a lot of fun, great game!
Amazing entry! The mechanics all worked great, the tutorial was nicely implemented and the audio was really good! The graphics were also incredible and the entire thing felt very polished!
It's really hard to think of some constructive feedback for such a complete game... I would have liked to have seen some more dialogue during the gameplay, but that's a personal opinion!
Overall I really enjoyed playing and this is an amazing entry!
I really liked the graphics and the parallax effect with the background was really cool! I also really liked the idea of the rolling mechanic as well! It was quite difficult too, but that just be me being bad... I liked the sound effect for walking and the background nature noise added another layer of polish to the game! I also liked the use of different paths in level 2!
The restart button should maybe be tied to the keyboard because the mouse isn't really used in gameplay, that's a nit pick though, so not a big deal at all! An animation of the wolf eating the sheep would have been nice too, because it sometimes felt as though I could've outrun the wolf but they were able to capture me when it didn't look as though I was touching them.
Overall, the graphics are amazing and I enjoyed playing!
I liked the retro feel including the audio and the diamond transition, I also thought the combat felt polished with the sound effects and the different enemy types! Some ranged combat might have been nice, but I understand its a game jam and what you managed to create felt very polished! Some UI could have been nice like next wave in x amount of seconds, just to make things clearer. Overall, the game looked and played and very well, great entry, and a very fun game!
I really like the concept of using the terminal to tell the player what to do and the linking of the player's health bar to actions like attacking, which requires some timing skills to balancing healing with defending yourself. I think the actions should have maybe been numbered like pressing 1 was attack and 2 heal etc... just to speed up the process of selecting an action, because I think its a really cool mechanic typing into the command line, but yeah some way of speeding that up would nice, but that might just be me. Overall, the gameplay is very unique and I enjoyed playing!
[Spoilers] I really liked the transition and the 4th wall breaking browser feature was really cool and innovative! The graphics also looked great and the narrative and mood was amazingly done! Some dialogue skip-to-the-end button would be nice like click during the dialogue to display it all and then click again to continue. The dialogue button could also be tied to the keyboard, but that is such a small nit pick, because overall this is an incredibly polished experience, with a great sense of mood and I really enjoyed playing! This is an amazing entry!
Really interesting take on a pinball style game! The graphics were great and the slow motion on collision mechanic was quite unique and innovative, I also like the use of having more than one pinball to use, which in itself felt quite unique. Sometimes I feel like where they would go after I fired them in a direction was a little hard to judge, maybe there could be a mini trajectory that appears. That's a personal opinion because you might have wanted the extra layer of of challenge without it! Overall, I really enjoyed playing!
I like the concept and the use of the conveyer belt added variety to the gameplay! The objects physics didn't seem to always work properly, other than that, really good for your first game!
I love the pixel art and the sound is very nice too! The playful mood set works very well with the gameplay, the visuals and the sound! The movement system was very creative too, having the bees swarm around the hive you guide, it also make it very satisfying when they manage to collect stuff! A wider fielder of view might have been helpful as I got lost a few times, but for the goes where I managed to keep track I really had a lot of fun. Overall, the incredible art and audio made the game really stand out!
The game felt very well polished, I really liked the pixel art and the trail renderer on the meteor! The physics also felt very consistent and I liked the increasing difficulty by speeding up the meteor! The sound effect for getting a hit was also very satisfying and the blowing up effect for the planet at the end also felt good! The powerups were also a great way to break up the gameplay!
I think the game screen could have possibly been a bit bigger especially when the meteor increases in speed, this wouldn't scale proportionally because then there wouldn't be much of a difficulty increase, but if it scaled slightly you could include some obstacles so its hard to predict where the meteor will go after bouncing off of them, to increase the challenge. This paragraph is a completely just a suggestion/addition because what you managed to do in the time was very polished, very satisfying and a very fun and complete game! The gameplay would also port well to mobile devices!
Overall, this is a super fun game, amazing entry!
I really liked the visuals of the game, the neon aesthetic worked very well, especially in a speedrun-style game! The sound was also a nice addition to the gameplay. While the movement is a bit jarring at first, it was a nice variation from regular movement and added another layer of challenge to the game. The difficulty was maybe a bit too high for me in terms of the timer running out and having to start from the start each time. Overall, I enjoyed the speedrun gameplay and the cool visuals!
I really liked the style of game you went for here! I enjoyed the choice-based mechanics and I liked weighing up between moves with more damage and how long they took to happen! I also like the touches of polish like how the UI shakes when you get hit!
I liked the variety in the enemies and the more peaceful exploration time in between encounters was also a nice way to vary the gameplay and give the player some respite!
I think the UI should have been in the same style as the other sprites, like pixel art style, and the same with the font. I felt as though aesthetically it could have been more coherent, but I did like the visuals of the actual world itself along with the visuals of the enemies!
Overall, I really liked this entry, I've not come across many option-based games this jam and I really enjoyed playing yours, this is a really good entry!
This is a really interesting and unique concept! The boosting feature worked very well and it felt very polished! I feel like the mechanic would lend itself well to some level based gameplay with obstacles and you have to try and find the best way round them, or something to collect in the open world. Overall, the gameplay felt well polished and I enjoyed playing!
The atmosphere the game creates both while helping a user and outside of that environment is amazing! The terminal look of the typing was really effective, the sound worked very well and the gameplay mechanic of reversing the choice-selection to be about choice-removing was really innovative. I had a lot of fun finding out where the different paths led to and it felt great having my first successful player! Overall, I really enjoyed playing!
I really liked the graphics and the music was really nice too! The idea was really innovative, I've not seen a game like this before! I also liked how the lots of different control options for centring things and using the papers. An interactive tutorial might have helped, but it is a game jam, so I totally understand time constraints for that! Overall, I really like the graphics and idea!
I really liked the minimalist feel you were going for and I think its a really cool concept combining the player's health and timer together! Some more feedback when you hit and enemy would be nice, I saw there was a small lash on the enemy, so maybe that just needed turning up a bit? The powerup was a nice way of breaking up gameplay and diversifying it, maybe an indicator as to how long it would last would be nice too. The sound effects that were there were also a nice touch and added a nice layer of polish to the game. Overall, I enjoyed playing!
