Very good game - kept me thinking.
Gets hectic as you go down. What awesome music! I tried not to die so I can just listen to this! I loved it. Fun game. Would have given a 6 for the music if I could!
Played this for a long. A lot of fun. Entertaining game. Would be nice to have it as a mobile app I think.
Nice game. A bit of an indication that I actually was successful in taking a picture of the fish would be helpful. I kept pressing the spacebar thinking it wasn't taking photos. Only when surfacing did I realize it did work.
Nice graphics. Perhaps just let you fish move a bit more randomly around the screen, instead of in a set pattern.
Sound effects were good. Good job overall.
Was unable to comment previously when I rated your game. I would probably play this game the whole day if I didn't have so many other games waiting to be rated. This is such an enjoyable little game. It's relaxing, music is awesome, graphics are crisp and well proportioned. Just an overall enjoyable game. Excellent job!
What an enjoyable game! Just wanted to continue playing. It was very fun to play. I loved the black holes that boosted your speed more and more. I wasn't very good with grabbing all the right rocks, so I died a few times, but with every reboot I got better. I like that you don't die when you hit lava spots or those pesky grey rocks! The sound is awesome and the music is soft enough not to be disturbing. There is a slight lag/shudder when the ship is going down at normal speed, but once it speeds up the lag disappears. Will like to play this again in future. Well done. Game is well polished! And I like the menu as well.
Bit of a challenging game. Can't get much further than the 1st flag. The alien ship comes down too fast, and that sucking beam is too hard to escape. But, it motivates you to continue playing and get better. Therefore, a good engaging game, that can keep you busy for hours! Music and sound effects are good. Graphics also well done, especially the alien ship and tractor beam. And I love the cow with the bell. Great job!
Very addictive game. Felt sorry for the seal. Carried him inside at night lol. Never made it past Day 4, I always ran out of fish. But really enjoyed playing.
Fun game
I really, really enjoyed this game. It's so cute. I love the art, the music is awesome as well as the sound of the sea. Got to Level 13 with 330 in a few minutes of play. I agree with the other commenters that it would be great to have some kind of weapon to defend yourself with :) Really truly enjoyed this game and would definitely like to play it again at some point. Best ratings I have given so far today. Magnificent job!
Cool game - well done
The rewinding of time was helpful so many times! Very impressive game. I was very glad that the smallest doll could swim and get out of the water again. And no one died from drowning.
I spent way too much time trying to get the Russian dolls centered onto the red blocks. Maybe that is something that you can try to fix for perfectionists out there.
Overall a very enjoyable little game. Cudos.
Cute game. The music and sound is very nice. Perhaps make the learning curve a bit less steep. The game ends very fast! Will play it again when I have more time. Good job.
Good job. Took me a while to figure out the first room's clue. But then I read it carefully and managed to open the door... The second room was also cool. I got stuck in the 3rd room. Didn't know what to do. Listened to Fur Elise (Beethoven) all the way through, thinking I might be able to then switch on the TV correctly or move the bookcase, but nothing happened. Not sure what to do after that. Good job on playing the piano piece faultless :) Graphics need work, but coming from someone who also knows how frustrating animation and graphics are when its not your strong suit I think it was a good attempt.
Very original idea for a game!
It would be beneficial if the activity can be skipped if you would rather do the next activity. I did not want to do the extended exhale exercise for such a long period of time, so I couldn't skip to another activity. The music is lovely, but I do agree with the other comments that the static on the microphone was distracting and not conducive to relaxation.
I will try again and see if I get a different activity and maybe I can give more feedback another time.
Very cool graphics and music was nice and relaxing. However, I am not really sure how to play the game. I kept pressing WASD but not sure if it was doing anything. Almost looked like the game was playing itself and I could press Q only when it was full. Kept pressing the mouse and space bar and enter key to continue playing after the pop ups. Not sure what I was doing though. Some kind of instruction on controls would be helpful. Otherwise I think it can be a very enjoyable game.
I liked the sound linked to the echo-location and the animation to show that the rocks have been located. I think my bat's hitbox was by it's feet as well, not just the head and body, because even with going down feet first I still died.
Got past the gatekeeper but then died multiple times because can't seem to always jump the abyss into the sharp rocks. Died in the green water as well. But overall a good game, will play again when have more time. Music is a bit too loud to my ears, even though I like Metal. I loved the dialogue between her and the gatekeeper.
Not really sure how to play this game. I just ended up launching in a random direction, trying to go as far as possible without hitting a planet and will get lots of chroma, but not sure what else to do. Every time I hit a circle the run ends. I don't bounce to the next planet like shown in the graphics.
This was extremely well done! Good job! You really are way too hard on yourself. The graphics were very well done. The game was enjoyable to play. The sounds and the music were on point.
Suggestions: make the font different so your messages are a bit easier to read. Also, my cat kept falling past the finishing part where the harp is and I couldn't read the messages because it was falling too fast.
This game is actually better than some of the other submissions out there. Be proud of yourself that you submitted this. Now you know where your starting point is and you can just improve from here! Well done.
Very enjoyable game. Quite challenging, but fun and stimulates the brain cells! I love the catchy music. It's cheery. The sound effects are also cool and I like the death animation haha. The 3rd level is a bit wonky. I played the mouse control version and I can't seem to tilt the planet correctly. My eggo keeps breaking. However, if I had more time I would continue playing until I won. Well done on a great game.
So difficult to miss those purple tape worms hahaha, they keep following the mouse pointer! Good job. Really enjoyable little game, and the painful yelling makes you feel so guilty. I love the music - very well done. Most enjoyable and original take on the theme.
Oh my goodness! I couldn't stop playing this game. Took me ages, but I unearthed the truth!!! Very enjoyable detective game. Hints for using the correct keys were intuitive for the most part, except for the last two doors where the belt and cut it came into play again. I looked around for the knife that I used previously for ages! Then I gave up and went to look for the belt instead - then only did I realize I did not need the knife again lol. I played the game in the browser and it was a bit of a struggle when you want to go mute the music and then your mouse pointer keeps interfering after that when you want to move around. I minimized the screen to continue playing. I also don't know what I did wrong, but I pressed Esc at some point and I couldn't return to the game. I had to restart the new game from scratch. Only realized later I could have just clicked on the screen to continue playing the current game. Perhaps make the menu in such a way that the music can be muted there. This will avoid the conundrum with the cursor. A save function would also be extremely helpful. I would also have liked something bad to happen to the character if you did not have the correct key and you tried to open a door. What would also be nice is that you have to place the key down again in a certain place, otherwise you can't go through that door again... There were some minor graphics glitches, e.g. in the first sand pit the shovel could move through the umbrella pole. And the hit box around the glass in the kitchen kept appearing through walls in other rooms... Sometimes if you dropped an item by pressing E, it only disappears for a second and then it appears back in your hand without you pressing E again. There is artifacting going in the locker where the cigarettes are when you look at the shelves at certain angles. Also a bit of artifacting in the rooms where the cabinets are next to each other. When you walk around with the baseball in your hand, it partially obstructs your view so you can easily see the door you need to open. The chairs falling over makes it a bit difficult to maneuver around, but I'm assuming that's supposed to be like that ;) I like the interaction of the broom stick with the bottles on the kitchen table where they were falling of if you touched them with the broom handle by mistake. However, I found it quite easy to move out of the room even with the broom handle being horizontal, but perhaps it won't be easy to code the maneuvering through the door otherwise? I guess we don't want to make it too hard or unenjoyable /frustrating for the player to move about. I liked how the playgrounds got more messier with trash bags and the umbrella falling over. Also the rain and the gloominess showed how the killer's mood was. All-in-all this was a brilliant job! Well done and I look forward to playing another game like this from you!!
Good job. Enjoyed playing. Hovering the mouse cursor over the signs makes it a bit challenging. Perhaps try giving a different option (e.g. hitting enter).
Nice job. I managed to bypass the first two white plates - fell from the green plate straight to the 3rd white plate, which then easily rolled onto the red plate to victory. Don't know if you want to maybe tweak that so it's not possible to do that ;) Can play this game for hours. Music is cool as well. Just difficult to see where the other plates are sometimes, it's like it's zoomed in too much and you can't zoom out.
Cool game - I would like the hit box to be a bit bigger or the camera to move the one in the back was a bit tricky
well done - Loved the music
Very fun game. Liked that the level restart quickly. The spikes and the ground colour was very close to each other for me.
Well done - got to the end - The fire ball bats are very close to the colour of the background. Thank goodness they shoot fire.
Nice job - very fun game. Loved the music.
Switched off the music after about the 3rd time I died. Catchy tune, but it gets repetitive. The hit boxes around the obstacles are too wide in my opinion. I feel the character should still be able to dodge them just by scraping past. Also perhaps don't let the character die when it gets too close to the walls/sides. Rather create an animation of him getting scratched or damaged. Then he can maybe also die once he has sustained too many injuries as well apart form just dying when he gets too close to the rocks.
Death animation may also be a cool idea. Perhaps also think about some tools he can employ, e.g. an umbrella or parachute to slow down or maneuver more.
Overall an enjoyable game.
Loved the story - well done
@rewzu Thanks for the comment. My are skills are very limited, but I can copy - I love Kurzgesagt art style, and I wanted to replicate it. The player character is based on their bird.
Very cool game - Well done
This is such an awesome game. Can't believe it hasn't got more reviews. The graphics of the submarine are superb. I felt a bit disorientated the first two tries and it's difficult to see. Didn't realize the dark parts were rocks and I got stuck (and unstuck again). Managed to find 4 ruins, but time was not on my side for the last ruin. Good music too and the tings when you got to the ruins also at least showed that you were on the right track. Excellent game. Will play again.
Minor typo on your menu: "lurking ir should be lurking in" I would also suggest changing your font colour - red on a dark background is very difficult to read. Try white perhaps.
Very cool game - well done.Compelling, want to continue playing.
Well done. Fun to play
Good first attempt! Well done. I loved the music and the sounds. I was not quite sure what I was supposed to do. I saw when the blue ball got to the centre it lit up and then the waifs came and everything got dark. would have liked to be able to shoot them. Am I supposed to move away from the centre and look for something else?
The controls where also inverted so it was difficult to move about.
Congratulations on submitting and completing a functioning game. Every time you jam and submit you will get better. Best of luck!
Nice concept and cool game, but it is just extremely slow (I used Chrome). I will try again once you have sped up the game a bit. Good first try though!
Oh my word I died so many times hahaha. Fun game. I found the way that he was running in mid air quite hilarious. Very enjoyable. Good job.
Very cute game. Good job. I enjoyed it. I like the animation when he jumps, made me laugh. It's also nice to have quite a few lives to lose while you're getting the hang of things. Good death pic as well. I would perhaps look at audio with your next game jam, as well as putting an introduction screen or some kind of indication wrt controls. Good job mate.
Very good visceral game! Graphics are very well done. I like the sound as well (played in Web version and unmuted). Can play this game for a long time. I like how the landing places change every time you die. In one of the tries I even found two extra glow sticks!! Too bad if you miss a few landing places the last thing you hear will be a thud as you smash onto a boulder. Ouch. Good job. Was very enjoyable! No lag or anything. Well rounded game.
PS: Nice catchy name for the game as well which you can remember when you need to find it again (after Ludum Dare kicks you out and you have to login again for the hundredth time before you can rate after playing for a while) sigh :/
Really well done - good atmosphere
Love the sound - We are farming lol - cool game
Good graphics. Good audio. The only problem I had was that it takes an immense amount of shooting to kill an enemy and the spawn rate is too high in my opinion. Perhaps give the player a little bit more time to figure out the game. Just needs a bit of tweaking. Overall an enjoyable game. Keep it up.
That boulder comes way too fast for my liking. I ended up just running as fast as I can, no time to pick up relics and throwing them. Enjoyable game. Good graphics and music. Good overall attempt.
No matter how much I pee'd I lost. What would cause a win screen? Very original take on the theme. Good job for a limited time project.
Fun game the shooting sound got a bit repetitive
Wow! What an awesome game! Graphics are outstanding. Music and sounds are on point. Navigation is flawless and intuitive. Very enjoyable game. Would love to have been able to play another level. I would easily spend hours playing this. Well done and congratulations on a super game. 5 stars given all round.
Edit: I thought the gameplay ended after all the evidence was collected. Did not realize you could actually go interrogate the suspect. Would be nice to get a reminder about which controls to use to so that could continue to the interrogation.
went back and managed to play the whole game. Enjoyed it and yes, the end was a wonderful twist!
Had fun - nice game
The concept is nice, but I found it very difficult to play in HTML. Took me a while to figure out that the penguin can shoot from the block that a snowball is on and that he didn't have to jump back to the big block and shoot from there. The view of the snowman also quickly disappears if you go too far and I would have liked the screen to then zoom out so that you can see which direction you need to jump/swim back. I am also confused as to whether the penguin takes damage if he lands in the water? The sounds make it seem that way? Music and graphics are very well done. All in all an enjoyable game.
Loved the music - and the water affect was also good- well done
Fun little game but I could only catch the first fries and bring them back to the drop zone. After that the ship flies way too fast and I keep losing the things I catch. It almost seems that there is a delayed response with the thrusters, very difficult to steer. I had the same problem as @velvetlobster where it scrolled completely to the bottom and I lost sight of my ship completely. I also feel like I almost want to zoom out so that I can see the map more clearly and find my way back to the drop zone. Graphics are really neat and the music is fun. Just a pity that I just couldn't seem to get the ship to slow down and steer nicely.
Neat game well done
Cute game. I'm not good with 3D playing so it was a bit challenging to move fast. I forgot that you need to press Ctrl to pick up bananas and I kept pressing Enter. The whistle sound is a bit loud and made me jump every time I got caught. Good graphics and I like the sound of traffic. Overall an enjoyable game. Would like to try and get a bit further when I have time to play this game again.
Really cleaver game - well done
Very fun game - did I have to use the dog :(
Neat - love the idea and the are style is very cool - well done
Very cute game. Didn't get very far because my dexterity sucks. But the graphics are very good and the gameplay is entertaining. I picked up quite by accident that your walls' collision settings don't always work - missed jumping a platform and ran through the wall - was hilarious. Good job on a fun game.
Nice game - Would like to have the font colour not the same as the walls - bit hard for me to read - Pixel art is very good - love point and click - well done
Neat game
Nice - like the idea and the dead bodies - cleaver
Neat - well done
@nsadie thanks for playing my game - the weird clipping is because I do not know how to use blender properly
@benk86 thanks you very much for playing my game
@jonrei - Thank you for trying to play the game - jip that will happen - first level is very easy to do - second level I tried to put in collisions to stop the player but I suck at blender still
@tested thank you for taking the time to play my game
@korfi thanks for the feedback
@blue-pin-studio I'm glad you enjoyed playing the game. Thanks for taking the time.
@poshdan thanks so much for the feedback. Yes, you are right about the polishing. The 72 hours always go by so fast and I feel there's never enough time for the polishing. Will keep trying to work on that.
@darwyn thank you for taking the time to play my game and give feedback
@beelzeboss thank you for your feedback. I didn't think it would be good enough for the mood category. Worth considering for my next game, thanks.
@rost thank you
@kr0s thanks for the feedback. Yes, it still needs lots of polishing. I agree with you that the S key would have perhaps been a more intuitive key to use for braking. Will keep that in mind for future games.
@seppskit thanks for the feedback. Sorry to hear that you couldn't get far. If you have the time to perhaps try again: You have to click on the task at the bottom left corner to select it. An arrow will then pop up above the road which will show you where you need to drive. Your destination will show up as pink floating rings.
@woahitsjeff you're not the only one that struggled - sorry about that. You have to click on the task at the bottom left corner to select it. An arrow will then pop up above the road which will show you where you need to drive. Your destination will show up as pink floating rings. Hope that helps and that you will maybe have the time to try again.
PS: Yip my collisions suck a bit so if you stray off the road you are very likely to fall to another dimension LOL
@jirushi thank you so much for your feedback. You are not alone in saying that the game needs more polishing, and you are not wrong. I still struggle a bit with keeping my scope of a game narrow enough so that I will have enough time to polish before submitting. Will keep trying.
@yaen LOL thanks so much for the feedback and your generous comment on the scenery :P I'm glad you enjoyed playing the game. Thanks for taking the time.
@joror thank you for trying. You should have seen a petrol station. That is the final destination.
@xparker thank you for playing my game. The audio is from sound packs I have.
Would have loved to play an HTML version of this game. Sounds very interesting. Did not rate your game, because I couldn't play it.
Neat games well done
@mikomoares Do you not have Wine install on your system ? I also mostly play web version but wine is very good - If you have made skill I think you can get proton playing with out steam running.
Neat games - love the sound - really makes you feel what the low poly model is thinking
Love the bird sound
Really fun - nice sound and easy to play
Level 7 17:31. I took forever to get past level 2, it almost seems like that level is harder than some of the later levels. Level 3 for instance was very easy in comparison. Very enjoyable little game. The music can become a bit monotonous after a while, but all in all a fun game. And good job with the graphics even though it's not your forte you did really well.
Nice use of the them - clear game instructions - good job
Nice art and music - good job for making it
Neat game - well done - like the idea that they just keep coming
Very good job - well done - easy to understand game
Fun game
Good art - well done - feels like you falling a sleep - hardcore - well done
clever games - well done to add so much content into a jam - good job
Well done - nice and clean games with a lot of U juice - Theme was done well
Very cool game - well done
Neat - loved the sound of the pig -
What a cute little game! Really fun to play. High score was a 191. Graphics are well done. I love the fun music! Was very fitting. Only suggestion I would make is to make the panning of the map automatic. It is a bit of schlep to scroll up and down (I played the HTML5 version).
