Great overall, and I was especially impressed about how smoothly your agent follows the mouse at its own pace, which in theory should be frustrating in such a close net of enemies and instead has a perfectly balanced feel and works really well.
A fun and interesting concept. Absolutely great for a jam game, but I think it might also deserve an after-jam life, with more polish and all the blahblah. With a stronger feedback and some more rhythm-based mechanics it could be a fantastic full game, especially if you keep working with such great music.
This was great and very entertaining. I played it twice to finish it because the first time, around half, I "called it a day" thinking that you would go to sleep, something would happen, and you would continue the day after, but then I managed to beat The Counting One on the first try and that was a very nicely put hint. Also a really nice background story, I applaud how every character had something to say other than counting.
By jove this was delicious, except I'm very frustrated now since I can't comment about some stuff I really liked because spoilers :D
Honestly didn't expect this to be so entertaining, it works really well!
I found all the holes, the animal holes, I found them, the holes, the animal holes :smiley:
Woah the title screen already had a lot of charisma and sold me. The game concept and mechanics are pretty much brilliant, and I especially liked the fact that the ship doesn't follow the mouse but propels towards it on command. Great.
I finished the prompts so I will tell myself that I finished the game, which means I was so captivated by the dialogues that I played it for a looong time: well played. The dry humor works really well, and there was more than one moment where I chuckled, laughed even. Sincerely funny.
I always like a good take an Breakout, and I had a laugh when the gravity mode kicked in. Nice presentation and graphics too.
The dying-and-restart system was maybe a little too punishing for me, but it's a really well thought mix of platform and puzzle mechanics!
I learned something! Except my broken A key failed me one too many times but that's on me, the game idea was so very cute.
This freaked me out. In a good way. I mean, it's not the game for me. Because it freaks me out. But I appreciate how good it is all the same. Because it, you know, freaks me out. In... you know... wait... let me turn on the light... I'll be back in a moment...
The presentation immediately got me and the concept is great, especially with the mix of build and upgrade (I played quite a few times in order to finally find the ship and I'm still uncertain if upgrading works only for a limited time, or if upgrading one thing de-upgrades another, but it was very cool anyway). Great!
Brilliant concept. I would've loved to discover some mystery hidden in the [half-spoiler] things you move around, and I guess that would've probably be the plan if you had more time, but for a 48h game this is great and, most of all, surprised me.
Whewww! Took me a while but I got to 4, and that's the max I can do for now (but I'll insist: your score of 9 is both scary and attractive to me). Great presentation and sneakily addictive.
@matt-ravenhall, @toreskovic, @zakroutil Thank you! :green_heart: @makemakemake Thank you! Sometimes the vampires eats, sometimes it infects, sometimes it promises to behave. But in the end it needs to eat, after all. @adriangray Thank you! I feel you about the too much text (even if I write a lot of English for my work, I'm a non-native Italian), but I liked the concept of having to choose what to read in the limited time you have, knowing that you won't be able to read it all (I hint at it in the beginning of the game, but maybe I should've hinted it better). @yoko-san Thank you! It happened :D @joedev Thank you! There is indeed a lot of stuff and tons of branching hidden in there (for some reason I even added a different ending for every character if they end up alone, even if I know that that's very rare to achieve—oh well). @ben-throop Thank you Ben! Likewise :D
P.S. Gonna play your games today. It took me a, uhm, while, to realize that I needed to click on the gamepad icon of your profile to see them :eyes:
@tomtomgome Thank you, I'm glad you saw more scenarios (writing all those variables in such a little time was quite the experience). We realized that I forgot to take into account the "meteorite without vampire(s)" the day after and were very sad that it was too late to fix. When the jam ends I'll get back to it and at least do that.
@emmatw Thank you! And woah, your game looks amazing, gonna play it later after pizza time.
@trusty Thank you, glad that it was nice to replay too. @iguanana Thank you from both of us!
@quabmara Thank you! I won't lie, I do love details :D
@chuchugeralt Thank you and ah, I completely agree (nor to make them die or, worst of all, tell a joke :D)
@tannimun Thank you for all the feedback (and for playing). I thought no one would get one of the "single survivor" endings because they're very rare, and I'm glad you did. You're right about the vampire: it normally doesn't cause much problems unless it appears near the beginning, in which case even it can "promise" not to kill (and usually will turn but not kill a specific person) that's not enough to stop the spread. When the jam ends and I'll get back to it to fix some bugs, I'll also see about balancing early vampiric appearances.
@neverlucky Thank you, and I will clap to Jelena's stellar art, it was great to see what she did with the characters :) Balancing was indeed hard but also a fascinating experience (I was in a kind of writing frenzy when I put it together), I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@kaech Thank you, I'm sure the characters liked you too ^_^
I am absolutely fascinated by this and have been playing it for quite a while, though I'm stuck like @wrex and I'm not making a joke. Unless, I mean, being stuck is what I should be, in my new life on Pluto, and there's no escape. But I want to escape. Should I?
**[SPOILERS! DON'T READ THIS COMMENT IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME]** @jjbug Oh, yes, I've been fiddling with the Apps answers for quite a long while. I tried to play along, not to play along. I tried choosing only the words I heard from the beautiful singing voice. I also died. I tried staying dead, not staying dead. And in my death I heard a distant singing voice. Was that the escape? It does feel better than Pluto.
@jjbug Aaaah. I'm not English native and, even if I use English a lot, I still get confused by uncaptioned words, so I didn't notice that. Well, now thay I know I experienced it all, including the ending, I can say it was beautiful. Thank you
