Lovely game, it took a little while to figure out but once I got it, it was quite fun. Amazing what you guys did in that short time. The art is amazing !

Lovely game, it took a little while to figure out but once I got it, it was quite fun. Amazing what you guys did in that short time. The art is amazing !
I could only play it for a little while since the character moved painfully slow, I couldn't get anywhere. I guess it's a bug? But the graphics looks amazing! It looks really charming, and I liked the music.
Awesome game !
Cool little game :) Everything fits together. I missed some more indications of how to proceed, I just went for the diamonds, but died quite fast.
Interesting game, but way to hard. It felt a big buggy when I tried to pick up items, and I'm not sure what the signs means I didn't really make sense.
But nice with zero gravity and the stress factor :)
I'm completing this game as I write this review :) Great idea.
Cool game, but I didn't know that you could sprint untill the end :D
Nice introduction, and characters. It's really something. I felt like the art needed to come together a bit more, the background seemed disconneted in style compared to the characters, but I liked the rough sketchy look.
Great mechanic! I really enjoyed it.
I found myself wierdly into this game :D Simply and nice !
Cool game !
I played it a few times, and I'm really impressed by the whole mood and graphics. Awesome job. I think it needs some balancing because I died really fast and if I tried to be quick I just died to a enemy I couldn't see. The arrows felt really nice !
Awesome job !
Great graphics, and take on the theme. I wish you had added just a little bit more of story. Had a short beginning and a ending I think that could give a lot to the game.
Awesome game, the music and the graphics really sucked me in. I liked the twist in the end as well.
Amazing graphics! and cool try at new mechanic. It's really hard to play, but I guess its something you could work on. Maybe look at Space Q i think it's called. That's really nice.
@Davision game dev simulator :D
@muriel:
Haha awesome !
@Avon:
Thank you :D
@Birke:
Haha, yeah. Thank you.
I think it's really impressive what you created. I kinda felt like it was missing a way to loose and it was kinda hard to know what to buy. I also did sell my game but didn't earn any money on it.
Really impressive game!
Nice game :)
Great game !
It tested my patience and I'm not sure if there is a ending? But the mood and graphics are amazing. It reminded me a bit of black mirror.
Awesome job.
Great introduction and really cool music ! The Web build had a few bugs but I managed to get to the boss :) He looked bad ass by the way.
Cheers.
Very creative ! It was nice to play. The contrast in the first "puzzle" was great :)
I'm missing a bit of a connection between the cute and then the horror besides it being a fun idea.
I love the art style of the backgrounds but the pixel art seems a bit out of place. I would have loved the character to be in the same style as the backgrounds, not in a realistic way still very stylized.
Awesome game, gratz.
I liked the dialogue you wrote, that was awesome. And its a great idea, but I just couldn't find a light bulb, apperently it was too hard for me.
Trippy game. I didn't complete it I couldn't figure out how. But I did enjoy it :)
Great concept, It was fun. I really like the stylized character and the art direction in general. Great job.
Really cool game. I love the graphics and what you got from the tilt brush, but in my opinion when it comes down to it, it's the story that matters and you nailed it :) Cheers
Cool mechanic! I was digging it, but I feel like you could have used it in a lot of creative ways which is a little bit of a shame you didn't.
Cool game bro !
Not bad,
There was some weird jittering sometimes when I tried moving around.
I couldn't really figure out what to do, and the field of view was crazy. So I had to stop, but great effort! I'm really impressed by what people can do in 48 hours. Gratz.
Cool idea, I think it needs a bit more explanation, I didn't understand it first, and I failed to find a way out in the end :/ Really cool way of interacting with the AI, I got sucked into the story :)
Great game !
I wish I could try it but my anti virus blocked it.
Cool game, there is a lot of information to get started with, but I like the management part of it.
Can't play it. Either it's a bug or there is no players, tried 3-4 times.
Ewww, it had yellow gue inside it.
Great game :) I felt like it needed a ending.
Awesome game ! One of the best I played. It really taps into something in me that enjoys sorting things :D Great sound as well, and simple graphics that really works together.
Great game but damm it's hard !
Love the mechanic with some polish this could be really great. It's also very impressive that you made this graphics within the time limit. Kudos.
Haha, spongebob meets minions on coke? Great idea, I loved it. I had to complete it and I was happy with the ending :)
Great game it has a nice mood and feels really complete. It's amazing you created this in such a short time. Mad props.
I think it looks cool, and I played it for about 10 mins, but I didn't get the gameplay at all. I watched the video afterwards, still don't know what it's about. But I think there is something cool about it, maybe it just needs a clear goal or something.
Great music and humor ! Really unique, I loved the story :D even thought it was really simple.
Nice Mechanic :) I got it really fast and just went on playing for a while.
That was great ! Awesome start, it had a nice mood and feel to it. I felt like it would have been nice to something else happen, like a key with a question mark on, because it becomes quite triviel fast, and I'm not very good at math :)
and thank you for the nice comment you wrote about my game, that really meant a lot to me.
Nice game.
Cool game :)
Cool graphics and game!
I think it should be more challenging, its hard to die because you have so much life, some power ups would also be nice !
Great Art, gameplay could use some work.
I liked the mood of the game, it fits really well with the theme. I'm not sure I got it though. I was looking for something to craft a fishing pole, but couldn't find all the items, maybe I didn't see all of them. The style os simple and well executed. Gratz!
I liked the setting of the game. I got stuck after picking up the rope and couldn't get any further. But I saw the lets play afterwards. I must have missed the hook.
I like the concept, but I think the puzzles could use some work, right now it's mostly read what to do, and then do it. It's really impressive would you created I also like the graphics, a bit too much AO for my taste :)
Cheers
I liked it, it had something to it. I wasn't sure what to do as the knight? Maybe I could have killed the black knigths, that was kinda missing :) I really like the concept behind this. Great work.
Awesome ! I completed it, and only in the end I realized it was a telly :D
Great game. I'm running a work for hire company and it really hurt my soul playing this game. But great morale in the end :)
I would say 99% accurate simulator.
It was a nice game, however the whole QR thing was too much for me.
I gave it ago, and the settings seems nice, but it was hard to figure out what to do, and the screen GUI was to wide so I couldn't see all the text. Great effort!
Great little game, I got stuck however. It didn't feel that rewarding to explore because I didn't feel like I was solving anything just clicking random stuff to see if he said something different.
The graphics and the music fits really well together, and it has a nice mood to it.
Hard but fun !
It felt like a tough boss battle, and it was nice with the different abilities. I think they just need to be a bit more polished, and it was hard to see if you where standing on the red area, because of that I died a lot.
Gratz
Awesome game ! One of the best I played. It really taps into something in me that enjoys sorting things :D Great sound as well, and simple graphics that really works together.
Cool little game.
Nice music !
Great game ! I enjoyed it. Amazing animations, those impressed me a lot.
Great game :)
Nice to play something different. The whole style and mood is great ! I'm really digging it. Maybe there should be some obstacles to prevent you from just buying everything. It could be other comsumers trying to buy stuff before you on black friday. That would be epic, in a big rave you would need to just buy everything you can.
Great submission and gratz on creating this game.
Hey man,
I tried out your game, I really like the controls, and these kind of games are always fun to play. I guess all the other guys was AI? Pretty cool. I didn't get the objective or what I was suppose to do? I just kept killing guys. That would have been nice. I also missed some sounds :)
Cheers
Hi,
I really like the idea. It was a bit of a shame I was only playing with myself. But I could see this being really fun online or with a friend next to you. It's nice with the explosions because it's harder to hide, would also be really cool with different weapons. Something to think about :)
Also the sounds are hilarious.
I think it's a brave entry, and it was a nice story. It's hard to capture the player with these kind of experiences, maybe if you added more music and sound clues to the context, that would help with immersion.
Cool entry none the less.
Hi,
I had a chance to play your game. Right off the bat I got this dungeon crawler vibe, the graphics and sounds are very retro, and I think thats very positive. Controls are easy to understand and you get the gameplay quite fast.
Whould I would have liked is some sort of small story, along with a objective. I didn't know what I was doing, killing spiders but why? what's the point? If my objective was to kill 3 spiders or something then I had a goal and something to work towards. I got the feeling that I could just walk around and look for spiders forever. So I ended my play through. I saw the gameplay video afterwards and noticed that I missed the boss fight. Which is ashame.
Gratz on finishing the game, I enjoyed it. The music is really nice, and it's impressive you did all this in 48 hours.
Hey,
I played a couple of play modes. First impressive was that the graphics are nice, it has a very cute style to it. The concept is really easy to get and understand, there isn't even a need for a tutorial. Great job.
I was missing a goal or a purpose though. I don't know how to win, I just played the game a bit and that was that. I also think maybe other inputs for the player could give it more gameplay. The sounds was pettey simple, some music would have been nice.
I really liked the pace of each game, it was snappy and fun. Gratz on finishing this.
Great game ! Easy to control, nice art and cool sound design. I'm digging it.
It's a bit repetitive when you get into it. The energy from soda's was really nice, and the humor was great as well. Nicely done.
I think my guys had sex with each other? :D lol... lovely game.
Hey,
Best game I played so far at LD38.
It's really fun and challenging, which is for me important. I was entertained all the way through. Besides that it introduces kinda a new gameplay mechanic with the cube rotating. Really cool! The style and sound design is great as well. Really nicely done. Gratz.
Hi Guys,
Again you made a great game. Actually I'm not sure you are the same team, but I played your game @parahunter from last LD. The style, gameplay and everything is nicely put together. Maybe the gameplay could use something to make it more challenging. I'm really impressed by your entry again, gratz.
Nice entry, but I think I got stuck. or maybe the game was over? At least when I got to the top the camera just froze and won't follow the character.
Anyway really nice game, once I got the controls it was quite fun. I enjoyed playing it. The music and the art goes really well together, and it creates a nice cozy place you just wanna hang out in.
You should keep working on this :)
Hey !
I played your game. I have some feedback that I hope you can use.
Great game. It's easy to get into, and it explains it self after playing a bit. I wish I somehow got told in a way that the objective is to jump high. I didn't get that before the end, and if it somehow could be a bit easier to start with and then escalate. I found it hard to get over 5 meters.
Really cool game you should keep working on it.
@aviland @geared-games @psychead @fanu @yves @samurai-spark @xangotrick Guys thank you so much for the feedback, I didn't notice the mouse issue, but it's something I will look into. Thanks :)
Regarding mechanics, yeah it's pretty basic. I didn't want to go too crazy but focused on creating a small experience instead.
@kr4ft3r I can say that he is not where you would expect him to be :)
@gurkenlabs Thanks for playing it :) and the nice words.
@kroute Thank you :) Yeah I wish to add a bit more of exploration to it once the jam judging is over.
Hey Guys,
My first impressive was that the graphics is nice. It's a funny setup as well.
I think you need something to make it more interesting, maybe the pile gets smaller as you go, so there is a limit to your moves, or maybe you need to steal the crap from another beetle. I also think the controls could use some work, its hard to control, I get that it's the point, however I think the best way to go about is to make it hard to master, but there is a way right now it seems really random how you move the dung.
I really liked the music as well, and the camera moves are pretty slick. Gratz on creating this game :)
Hey,
I played through your game, and thought I would write you some feedback. It's really lovely, and I really like the extra surprise menu point, it fits with the game. So right from the start I got sucked into the universe. The style is neat, and well executed.
My biggest thing about the game, is that it somehow needs more to the gameplay, I found myself waiting a lot for the gnomes to be in the right spot where I could attack them. Which wasn't really Challenging for me. That was a shame because I got a little bit bored. When you win and the sound plays the sound was very scewed which my ears didn't really like, so I think it's a place where you could improve a bit. The music was nice though.
Gratz on finishing this game for the jam, that's a big thing in itself :) I really enjoyed the game and I hope you can use my feedback for something.
Nice, it had some nice progression in it, cool art and the music fits. Great job ! If something I wished it would have a bit more gameplay in terms of maybe a power up or some enemies that you needed to kill. But me wanted more is a good thing :) Cheers
I got pretty impressed by the small guys, they gather and stuff. Would be nice if they could populate by them selves, and maybe create tribes that fight each other :D Also death would be a cool thing, and you could play god.
Great Entry
Great game ! My first impressive was that the graphics looks really nice. It's pretty impressive all the enemies you created, power ups and the whole environment. Thats quite a thing to pull off. Gratz.
I was missing a bit of challenge and I kinda felt cheated when I felt of the platform and just died because it was going so well :/
Really nice entry, the music is also spot on :)
Hey,
I really like your game, it's fast pace, and gives the player (me) a good challenge. I felt like it was hard to get a hang of the controls, I would have preferred a mouse to aim and shoot with, since it gives more directions and it seems more intuitive. Really cool graphics as well, and nice though that you collect orbs to gain points.
I missed a high score? That would be easy and fast to implement. Gratz on finishing this, I hope you continue to work on it :)
Hey,
I played your game and I wanted to leave some honest feedback that you hopefully can use.
My first impression is good, that graphics are nice, and I like the music as well. The visual style, gameplay and music fits really well together.
Gameplay wise I didn't get it at first, and I still dont fully understand why you sometimes loose a life or get pushed back. In my mind the objective was to go forward? But I think you need some indication of what you need to achieve, and to somehow show that the controls keep changing. I also think it could be a lot more fun if the phase in the beginning is really fast, the keys are really simple and then gets a lot more complicated, so I the player gets a success and are getting pumped.
I hope it makes sense. Gratz on making this little gem :)
Hey,
Nice atmosphere, sounds and look to it. I enjoyed floating around and being small :) Like the other guys mentions it would be great with some kind of objective, I think there was one, but I didn't really get it.
Great game, I really enjoyed it, but the difficulty should increase and maybe it should be faster so you just can't keep going.
The music and art really fits nicely together.
This game was really awesome, thank you for making it and making my day way better :)
@drauthius Thank you, I appricate the feedback.
@onnofal Yeah I agree, I guess I ended up being blind on the game mechanics, I did work a lot on the jump but I totally agree, it's not there yet. The jump is made with a float that is set by a curve over time, to mimic a jump curve like you would have in animation, but I guess it failed :)
Thank you for the kind words. I love penguins, so I will give your game a go later ;)
Hey,
I love penguins, so I was a bit disappointed not to see more of them, or be able to interact more with it. However the mood, music and feel is great. The mechanic with the scope works great. I would have loved more interesting things to look at, it quickly become a bit boring, but the music kept me in it. Great job!
Really cool game, I like the pacing. I would have loved to be able to control it with my mouse though. And thanks for trying out my game :)
Hey I liked it. The first part was really great but it got repetitive qucikly afterwards. The humor was great. It's a shame that the banana seemed like the best weapon, there was no point in buying new ones or use anything else, which is a shame since it could have added a lot of depth.
It's a really cool concept, but I think it needs some tweaking or order to get it from the start. Also I have no idea with the different bacteria are XD but it could be a awesome learning game. Nice graphics as well.
Nice mood and music. I didn't understand the gameplay and it seemed buggy. I tried to upgrade my plants but the player just went left. I had no idea I could move untill I just did it. Some sort of tutorial would be awesome.
Gameplay loop is the best I played so far. Gratz.
Graphics are adorable as well. Great job :)
This is really impressive.
The graphics, tone and animations are just amazing. Really nice job. It fits well with the theme and you learn how to play in a good way.
I'm not a big fan of the gameplay, it's a bit slow and not very challenging other than challenging my patience. However combined with everything it looks amazing. I think it would be better if you did it more arcade like, how many birds can u get within a set time, and then make it easier and faster.
But it's way better than what I could do :) Really amazing job.
Super cool :) Can't wait for the game ;)
Thanks for all the great comments. I wanted to make the game longer, like 3 levels but I ran out of time :) That's life.
@charles-viau Thank you. Most of the wording was done in a rush, I wasn't sure if I could even add it, so I focused on that it could explain the game rather than maybe it being too much that I say it's an unstable mechanic. I did do the sound effects and found some music I though would fit, but people can just decide themselves if they want to give me a rating in audio. It's ugly but that makes it beautiful :) Thanks for playing and the feedback.
Hey I finally got a chance to play. I wanted to play this game for a few days :) Love the mood and the graphics well done. I think the game has a lot of interesting mechanics, but as a new player going into the game it's overwhelming and I'm not sure I totally got it. Since I also failed and didn't complete the game :) Good job though, I think with some more easing in for the players. This would be amazing.
My first impression from the screenshot is that this looks really nice ! It's nice, I like the mood. I think the gameplay could be more forgiving since it's really hard just to complete the first level. If that was easier it would give the players more of a success and they would want to play more. It's really difficult to hit the platforms. Great entry, amazing job. I hope you will continue with the game.
I dont think the controls are working? I tried it but couldn't move.
Lovely graphics and music.
@trypants I can't see any goat on the screen? When I move wasd nothing moves on the screen? I'm missing something.
Hey,
Great graphics and voice over. I feel like the game should ease me into what to do a bit better. My sensitivity was crazy as well. I was just thumbling in blindness but ended up trying the different tasks, it seems very impossible to win the game though. Which is a shame. I love the voice over, and generally the graphics are really impressive.
My first impressive was that it's cool, but no way they made this in 72 hours. I then read the description, then it made sense. I mean I like the level design and the dialogue, I think you just needed to compress it a bit and make it smoother to walk, it sucks that you couldn't hold down the mouse button and had to keep clicking.
It's really hard to make a story driven puzzle game, and in that sense you did great. I wished you had made your own graphics, I'm also a sucker for those, even if it were ugly and boxy.
I think this is the best game I played so far at LD. I love the graphics, there is a small story and a good amount of content. It's similar to mine, so that's why it's great :) No in all honest it's amazing what you did in such a short amount of time. Gratz. I love the enemy types. In honesty I would rather have had fewer enemies but more polishes because some of them seemed a bit rough. I would also have loved more animations on the main guy. But I mean this is minor things, your game is amazing.
I could never be an astronaut, but I feel like I'm already a alconaut :)
I love the graphics and that you are thrown right into the craziness. The camera made me sick though and I'm glad I didn't play in full screen. If you fixed that and the movement it would be amazing :) Great entry.
For your first game it's really amazing. I think it's the best game I played out of 10 today. Great job. I like the mood and the graphics. In my opinion I think it should be easier and more forgiving. Just moving a little bit forward isn't that rewarding. I think if you could gain a good momentum and keep that in some sense that would feel a lot better. Again great job :)
Jesus how did you have time to put up a itch.io site? The graphics were lovely. I'm not sure how it relates to the theme, because the player get paranoid and then unstable? It was quite hard and unforgiven, I wish it was a bit easier and that you would gain more from the enemies, maybe some ammo life etc. it felt like every room was the same. Great job.
You added RTX for this ? :D Maybe a bit overkill. Nice graphics, didn't really understand the setup or why to do race, had to read about it. What's with the mushrooms? I feel like this needed to be grounded a bit more and add some story or mechanics that makes sense.
Cut scenes where great. Could have used some indications of what to do.
