I liked the concept of the game, but I feel it was a bit slow at times, especially when placing the particles into the reactor. The colours of the coolium and iceium were also very similar to each other, which made it more difficult to know which one I was making. Overall, a great concept, but I feel like there could be more.
First off, I have found at least three close buttons in the game, so bonus points. The art is very cute, and looks great. The gameplay loop is extremely fun, and I would play for hours if I had the time. I also like the choice of difficulty.
Loved everything about this game. The art style is unique, the humour is great, the audio makes you feel like you're in an office. The only thing I'd want is more gameplay, just because it was that fun.
I am so lost, but not in a bad way. It's just all fine and dandy and then the alarms go off and everyone is running around flailing their arms. I love the chaos.
This left me confused. The art's funny... but I was very confused.
The puzzles were tricky, but fair. The glue tutorial was great, I love the style. Incredibly fun, and great work for 48 hours! If anyone finds the levels difficult, I can confirm that they are all beatable.
The fake desktop was really cool, and I loved the resgination.txt file in the recycle bin. Overall, very funny. I liked the concept of a broken game, and it's also creative how you wove a small story into that. The later levels were challenging, but short, so nothing frustrating. Overall, very fun and quite enjoyable.
Loved the meta idea where you had to backup your save file! However, I feel as though the components were hard to reach during gameplay, especially when compared to the final endless runner game you get as a reward. I also feel that you should try to use less explanation next time, as that brought down the game a little for me.
Interesting concept, I got quite scared when I accidentally got a massive chain of sheep. It's a little difficult to organise your sheep, and you can get stuck on obstacles when a wolf, but I think that may have helped me.
@michelangelo It’s not a bug, you’re supposed to collect three hearts to fill up a bar that’s underneath your health count to replenish a heart. Not much in the game is very clear, but that’s more of a mistake on our part. I’ve been reading all the feedback from everyone, and I’m definitely taking all of it (especially the feedback about clarity of design) into account in future projects I work on.
I feel like it's a bit guess and check-ish, I would just adjust what I did if it failed and hope that it works, then retry if it didn't. The menu music sounds really good, and I feel that you could take this some where with some quality-of-life improvents (such as a trail of where the last attempt went). Overall, it was decent, fairly short though.
I love the sudden mood shift when the spire is placed down! It's so unsettling and mysterious, especially with the music switch! I will admit a few of the puzzles stumped me, so thank you for having hints and solutions on itch!
Great work!
I love how the ship looks 3D despite the limitations of PICO-8! Super impressive stuff!
@marudziik I don't mind at all! I thought it was odd there was no rating and thought it was deliberate, I've left a rating!
Oh this game is sooo cute!!
Wait sorry *fourth husband?*
This was such a visual delight and the audio was fantastic too! I'm so impressed with the environment and voice acting work, especially with the time restrictions of a game jam.
Excellent work!
Ooh it's like the children's board game! This was such a creative idea, and love how you expressed the abstract concept of "trapped thoughts"!
Was initially going to say it was too easy, then I tried crisis mode and nearly failed, so yeah :)
@neowhoru Thanks for your feedback on the art! I did most of it for the game and was sorta experimenting with other styles I wasn't quite used to (and also tried to pick a style that would be quick to get done in a game jam).
That was definitely something I thought about in the process, but chose to only do so when it was necessary for readability as it would take away time from everything else we had to get done (both in-jam and out). Adding a second colour was something on the "we should get to this if we have time" list though for sure.
