Interesting, maybe could try to add a bit of animation on the balloon, to make it more floppy so we get the wind effect better. Also the cute cat head, even a very small one, out of the balloon would be engaging, make us worrying more about the cat... !
nice art work and atmosphere, very smooth.
Interesting gameplay ! Refine the tutorial ;)
love the graphics, I can see some efforts them ! Maybe work more on themap tiles, but appreciated you didnt use free assets whatever in your game, try to stay original !
This is a nice game for relaxing between works ;p
nice little game, really got the simcity 1 vibe, hiopefully you could do a small walking animation for the characters! Also maybe some tweaks about the acceleration / deceleration of the player so it got some momentum and its harder to control / escape from the police.
finally a game that match the theme of the Jam ! Really appreciate the effort and mood !
nice gameplay, original game... saved on itch, keep updating it ! ;)
thats a nice little plateform ! nice and orginal art style, something that we dont often see in video game, did you take some magic biscuits ? btw itsa bit sluggish for the fps on my side, anyway could optimize a bit ? That guy is too fat, I need more precise moment !
amazing art direction ! neat !
Very cute pixel art ! keep it up !
the house is so cool, neat little idea, try to make the character animation and physics more fast and interesting !
Always appreciating original artwork, keep going ! Maybe could replace some small graphics element by handdrawings as well, to keep the style altogether.
I'm a simple person, I see gameboy grahics = 5 ratings ;P nice mechanics and music
Really appreciate some nice compo quality game, wish more would follow your path ! keep it up !
love the clean graphics ;)
Also share OSX exec please ! If possible.
lvoe the vibe ! Update the UI if possible, also I think its too big! Maybe you could try a nice HUD more integrated into your design style, and get the vib from doom/quake
nice little game, maybe add animtion of the side wall crawling so we understand better this movement !
Nice mood, remember me of "the long dark" pixel edition! let's try to had some wolfs...
looks coo, sega master system vibe here ! Please make the enemies visible and gunning around, would be so fun !
best project yet here, perfectly match the theme !
Agree, it nice but control need to be improved, now its a bit too frustating. maybe just allow the player to bounce around without damages ? You could always have a hardcore mode and keep these damages.
Hello guys, really thanks a lot for the feedbacks ! Yes we have a problem with the gameplay mechanics because lack of time of testing. Its very hard to balance the gameplay. There are also pixelart cutscene that explains how to play and why, but haven't got the time to put it yet ! Hopefully we can update it soon !
Thanks for all the nice comments and feedbacks, we are aware it's a bit confusing for the gameplay, we didnt have the time for a proper mini tutorial. We wantd to have a very original gameplay but we fall into it and didnt realize it was not so straightforward for newcomers. We gonna update it with a tutorial soon !
@torh I post on that website : https://www.indiexpo.net/en/games/the-lightwielder But that website doesnt have an HTML5 player on the page? downlaod the zip isnt very convenient... thanks for your interest btw !
Hello @SplitPainter Im a bit fan of "a Link to the Past" but dont like the new zeldas ;) The light deers are inspired of my own sculpture artwork I do on the side Many aspect of the gameplay were developed by us during the jam, its for this reason its very unpolished for now and we did many hotfixes.deer2.jpg but with all the feedbcaks we are improving step by step, or should I say @1stepcloser at a time xD
@simon-rahnasto indeed Mr Hayao Miyazaki is a huge influence for me !
@AbdurrahmanKhallouf sorry to learn that. http://www.miragemakers.co/thelightwielder try this link ? yes I have the same problem on mac with the press c thing. try this HTML link and tell us if its ok, lets find a solution. ;)
Guys @krapht @chocolat-endive choux fleur de lys Im amazed you win so much because even we created it I can barely survive to meet the octopus haha... kuddo to you for being good gamers. we didnt have the time to put the end, I did made the end cut scene (lost or won) but we didnt have time to implement it unfortunatly, but will will add it in the future. also chocolat endive is funny french name ;P
pure and simple design, virtualboy mood !
game is quite nice, jsut take care about the blurry effects and lighting, maybe try to keep it pixel art ? I think its possible to keep interesting effects but keep the style together.
nice little game gameboy style, music is quite fitting! Looking forward to see what you can come up with level design, using huge levels and complexity but keep it lo-fi
One of the very first game I tried, the voices make it ! why did you take of the audio rating? The audio is awesome haha, love the voice and screaming, it makes for 90% of the game for me ! And yeah if you can hotfix some of the gameplay/control it would be nice
Atari 1600 vibe! Love the graphic. it's very relaxing.
most funny game so far xD
cute little game, like the design, clean and neat. maybe can improve the jump system ? Looks clunky to me, hard to move around. Also the light beams are dangerous or not? why why not ?
really smooth gameplay, nice work on the game mechanics. I want to see more level design !
Great concept and execution ! Its really interesting, maybe just need some sound to add atmosphere ! Keep improving !
Clear gameplay and cute graphics, controls are a bit sluggish tho! Love the little green enemies !
is this the new paper boy? Love voxel art ;)
Good gameplay difficulty/balance. Cute graphics. It was a pleasure to try the game ! (make me want to do something in pico8 ;p)
Quite cute! Game mechanics work nicely, however Im not sure what is a germ and what is not, visually. Maybe use a more distinct color codes or icons... ;)
Really nice handdraw artwork, gameplay also smooth! Maybe too much of backtracking but at least the game play is quite unique !
Usually I'm not into these kind of music game but your jukebox is way to cute ! Impossible not to smile while playing, good job !
Hey, I dont have the playdate but it seems very interesting, thanks to talk about it ! I could only see your video but the graphics looks really cool, as well as the game play.
Interesting graphics ;)
Always nice to play games about music, thanks a lot ! Humour is funky as well !
Very interesting graphics for this game ! And nice use of the theme !
Funny little game, maybe speed up the pace ! ;p
Interesting game mechanic, animation is funny, control a bit sloppy tho ! Keep going ;) (good choice of music btw !)
Great atmosphere, I like how you randomly places objects there and there. Appreciate the effort for original artwork, it pays off. Just controls are a bit sloppy, it's hard to navigate into it. Feeling like on ice ! Keep going ;)
Really feel like Sumo sport from the future! I like the graphics it's simple but elegant. Maybe we could have better control, as the game is quite into the action, I was confused by the use of the mouse first. Keep going !
Feeling of the gameplay is quite smooth and good, jsut need better sound effects and graphics (for the explosion) I like the artistic choices of the game, remind me of Terminal Velocity.
I got way to many heartbreaks haha, I think the 3d models are nice and cute, Also I like the in and out of the drawers, works well. Worth to continue to develop it more, with sounds (and also better control ! the E is too close to the AWSD, put it somewhere on the right of the keyboard se we can use our right hand !). Good job !
Good job, actually - unlike majority of games - we can play in browser and the game works good. Congrats for that ! The stars background is actually quite cool at the begining, the sort of warping effect. Not sure about the projectile going in diagonal I don't know if it's on purpose !
As I see some of you are confused. The tray is used to reflect the light on the generator to kill the bad seeds on it. I'm aware it's an adventure game so it can be a bit confusing ;p
When you play, press F for fullscreen. @maxi-ruffo ! it's in the menu and in the description ! @boxedmeatrevolution You did ! It's part of the game to find how to reflect the light on the generator.
@bobo-oh thanks ! Yes Im looking to make it more difficult !
Hello guys I put a little intro sentence at the beginning, hopefully it would be a bit less confusing now. Hopefully ;)
@f1krazy Hey, Thanks for trying. It's very strange because the game works on every mac/win/chrome/safari, even old iphone 7 no updated... can you play my other games like Existence https://chromaphase.itch.io/existence because its exactly the same code for movement etc... let me know thanks !!
@stealcase Thanks for the feedbacks, you can check my other game named "Existence" its more slow paced, I think the problem with heartbeat is that the 10s thingy makes it a bit stressful and we dont have time to think about the story/puzzle. It was to try something different but seems its really suffer from the urgency (both the jam urgency and the in-game urgency!)
@nickpick Thanks ! Actually I know but my code skillz ain't good enough to make it faster, because I cannot really control the speed well, the push mechanic is kind of buggy, I tried to make it looks like less buggy tho, so itsnt blinking or jumping all over haha, but cannot change speed for now, I will work on this asap...
@paul-avallone Thanks for trying the game, you can only push the box when you are in the dark world ;p I think the stress of the game mechanic isnt working well with adventure/story based game. I learnt ;p
Haha funky ;p Its the metal tray used to reflect the light !! Thanks for playing.
I quite like it but because of the 10 seconds it's a bit slow! An idea would be to do it with a grid so we can try to calculate how to move between the radar swap ? Some ennemies would be good too ! Like in the board game battleship, Great atmosphere and the graphics and sounds are well done.
Edit: @anxiousgamedev idea is also quite nice. For now it doesn't reward risk !
It's loading but cannot press start ! Try to upload it on itch.io, their player works very well. You can put the link on this page as well. Let us know...
Good atmosphere and graphics ! Could have add more of the theme into it maybe? ;)
Hello, your game isn't loading on the page, please add a link to download or maybe create a page on itch.io (its easier to embed a HTML5 game there, less restriction. and you can put the link on this page. Let us know, yur game seems cool.
Interesting and surprising gameplay, very relaxing ! Art work is very nice and I was impressed when it suddenly switch to 3D ! Sometimes the control/gameplay is a bit weird, I think if you can improve on this, it would be a solid little learning game !
Hello, I was NOT prepared for the first level ! It's really cool concept when we finally understand how to play. Good tutorial... really needed !
Very cool game, the gameplay is really well done, works well and the theme is well used into it ! Keep developping it ;)
Control and gameplay quite responsive ! Getting better and better as I kept playing, good job !
This game is excellent ! Godo pace and the game mechanic is super original ! Keep improving it with good graphics, it got potential !
Very cute ! Music is very nice by the way!
Nice little world you got there ! And good game mechanics matching the theme !
One of the best game I played! Love the humour and gameplay, it's very funny and unexpected ! Good job !
Very cute ! Nice gamemechanic that fit the theme, the little music is cool too. Just waiting for more sprite animation ;)
Nice art work and gameplay ! Very efficient, wish you would have done more levels !
Very nice and cute, sound is a bit harsh tho! If you could change the tempo sound somewhat! Even if its hard to do this kind of sound in the 8bits style... ;)
Hi, I downloaded the game but when I play I cannot interact with anything... press E doesnt bring up anything, let me know if Im doing something wrong !
Very nice game, nice graphics and its always nice to play pico8 games! Theme could have been used better I guess, but at the same time that theme ruined a lot of games here! Very cute sprite animations btw !
I'm a simple person. I see cockroach, then I want to play ;) The game is very cute, and I quite like in the darkness, it's kind of scary the life of a cockroach! You just need to add some good sound design and we gonna really believe in this cockroach life !
Nice try here, maybe add more difficulty to the game, the slimes could move more maybe? When I played, they just move 2-3 steps, while we can move 10 steps. To easy to avoid them !
Struggling on the HTML5 with the mouse (the cursor doesn't match the mouse position) Maybe because itsn't full screen ? Maybe add a fullscreen button. Nice little atmosphere and cool to see this kind of game in the jam!
This game is so funny, nice art too ! That classic music is bonker when we play !!
Nice concept and gameplay, keep going !
Good dynamics, maybe its missing some little music to give some tempo!
Great game, you really made the theme work very well with the wall/maze reshaping, it really adds to the game play. Also I love the greek inspiration from the future ;p Just try to add more lights (fire torches maybe there and there) so we can see a bit clearer. Keep going !
edit: It works well for me in the page !
Good game ! I like the 10 seconds theme use. I think the only small problem is that sometiems the switch is happening at the wrong moment and its then impossible to win... Maybe there could be some rules for the obstacles so it let us a bit time to react at least ! Keep going !
