I agree with the others, it's not that intuitive at first glance an also a tad punitive! I had a really good run until... I failed the jump while I was going to the marketplace ;_;
I also feel it would be easier to make words if we had all the letters displayed on screen.
But appart from that, what an amazing game! Very clever system, and great art as well! My favorite so far! :)
Pretty neat game! I'll just noticed a few things: - The levels are either too big or too empty (I personally think it's the former) - The bats are soooo hard to see! I was hit and it took me a minute to understand what happened!
Good job otherwise!
I agree with the others... The painting is quite difficult! But the zen ambiance is there!
The only thing I think you could have improved (apart from the lack of any audio, I had to do the same sacrifice ah ah!) is the UI. Like showing which line can lead to a piece of dialogue the player has to see yet! Also, I wasn't quite sure if I had a "good ending" at some point (but I guess I have).
Otherwise, your game is really smart! The core idea is very interesting, the story is heartwarming and the art is just lovely! Great job!
The game is perhaps a bit difficult right off the bat, but this is solid work and a fine game! Great job!
Hey!! A Pico-8 buddy! I love the dust animation and the bounce! Great work on that, it feels very... Pico-8-ty! But, I must say I'm not quite on board with the "static" sprite. I feel it could have been something better.
For the global concept, I'm quite impressed! You have a solid design here! Could be a nice little mobile game!
i had the lolz and i rofled too so good job!!! (no seriously, it was hilarious and you are totally right about all the hemorrhoids conspiracy thingy)
It was fun! A nice little bite-sized metroid-like! Not quite perfect (the enemies are way to long to beat and doesn't give enough feedback when they are hurt for example) but it's impressive that you managed to pull that off in your first jam!
The pixel art is lovely as well! Nice job!
I pretty much agree with the UI feedbacks. We doesn't really know when something is clickable or not. Cool idea otherwise!
Very impressive entry indeed! Quite a feat to have done that in such a short time.
Some remarks:
- I understand the gimmick of putting the mouse sensitivity on the "real" mouse. But, it should also be in the menu option I think :) - Some actions lacks feedback. For example, when a new piece of information is added to the board, the game should tell you.
Otherwise, awesome job!
This is like... the anti-Untitled Goose Game! Where you do everything possible to please the human. Controls can feel a bit stiff (I don't think lowering the head is that necessary, I'm convinced you could have done without it) and the environment fells a bit empty...
The ambiance is nice though and the graphics are cute!
The game itself may be a bit stiff but I loved the art style!
Thank you guys for the warm feedback! And I agree with you: I wish too there was music! I was a bit short on time :)
Edit: I corrected a lot of them! :)
Indeed it's not! Did you write the errors down by any chance? I should correct them quickly.
@catusfelony Thank you! <3
And yes, the html encapsulation of Pico-8 is pretty neat for non-action focused games! I love the fact that it transforms your phone into a GameBoy basically!
I am too victim of the post-tutorial crash unfortunately... Too bad because it seemed fun and particularly dynamic! The mechanics seemed on point and fun.
To some extent, the pure white style can be nice so I completely get why you used it. Maybe some sort of map could have been useful in this mysterious dungeon! Otherwise, good job to have finished the game in time!
Well, there is a commendable effort there. I like the Spirograph vibe to it, the game fits the theme pretty well and the graphics are pretty solid.
Now for the "game" part, I'm not as convinced. I feel the game tried to conform too much to normal game standards (score attack, obstacles and survival). I think the game would have been way more interesting if the player could simply draw anything he wants, without any goals in particular.
Other than that, this 72h job is pretty clean!
Very good take on the combat genre! Too bad there is no sound, but hey, I commend your efforts anyway! Good job!
Nice little game! Too bad you didn't had time to make some SFX or music for it. But it suits well the theme and the puzzles are fun.
What a great idea with this theme! Since you are in the Compo, i totally understand that you didn't have time to implement more "levels". But this is already impressive!
I like this kind of game! The ambiance is on point and I also like the Ape Out perspective you put in there. Maybe some of the uses for the item are not that clear. But apart from that, good job!
The small green enemies are dangerous enough in their movement. They shouldn't fire thorns in my opinion. I get how you tried to follow the theme gameplay wise. And I think there is quite a good idea there! Maybe better explanations are needed though. Apart from that, the graphics are amazingly cute! Good job!
@steambrain I think you are wright. We were too slow to gauge the time correctly... I'll adjust it later, after the reviews. Thanks for your opinion!
@jeremy-ryan Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, the rotation mechanic feels a bit clunky, even for us. We struggled a bit with this part, ah ah! But the most important was to pull it off in 72h, so, in the end, we take it :)
@rucksack Thank you! We lacked time, but we initially wanted to add more levels to try the concept even more... Too bad the jam lasted only 72 hours!
@firetwoonenine I agree too! We'll add it after the review process :)
@GarfSnacks Ah, unfortunately, we still had some glitches we couldn't get rif of. It doesn't surprise me that much, but thanks for reporting them!
@thewustache Thank you very much! It means a lot! We have a nice level generator ready so I think we will make some extra levels after the rating period!
What a game! A think that you should give the player more time in the shop and display at all time the price of the items. Other than that, wow! Amazing job!
What a lovely little game! Nothing very innovative, that's true, but hey, it works. Your selling point is of course the CUTEST SUN IN THE GALAXY. The graphic work on the menus is also very nice!
A solid plateformer! I feel that the character should skip the get up animation when he die. It is a little bit too long in my opinion.
The boxes I had to sort didn't appear. So I made jumps on purpose, triggering errors, to exit this situation. I was sent back to the beginning of the game... Sorry guys, but the intro was too long for me to go through it again.
That being said, the voice acting is pretty amazing!
