Had great expectations after looking at this, but it seemed to slow. The movement was the fluid and great concept if you had time to expand more. It wasn't really fun due to its slowness and got bored too fast. The game has the potential for future development.
Extreamly difficult at parts and i loved it. The clanging of the crafting felt satisfying and i felt overjoyed when i completed a puzzle. Congratulations and hit the theme on the head!
Enjoyed the humour, As The_Icy_One Said, input lag or whatever is causing the misses is a shame, other than that you have created a funny experience for most of us!
Great submission, Looking forward to updates if you choose too! Nice simple audio, Nothing in your face. I loved how you had to use the theme to proceed to the next levels. Great job and I enjoyed playing!
Okay game overall, Couldn't quite get into it as there seemed to be no real goal other than to survive and to get points. That isn't a bad thing so to speak but may have impacted my review and ratings as I didn't feel like playing it after a few tries. A bit of work and this could have some potential if more mechanics other than fule and doing was implemented like more powerups, and as well with a leaderboard, I see this becoming an addictive side game.
Loved the voices in the game, Found a few issues with movement sticking and not stopping but didn't cause big problems, overall good game and humorous. Well done!
Great job, Addictive gameplay. You should continue work on this, it has great potential! Loved reviewing this submission!
Absolutely outstanding! The simpleness mixed with the addictive fun nature of this game was perfect and could go a VERY long way if you continued with this! Good job! Although the theme is not apparent for both of the players! KEEP IT UP :D
I let the game rage quit for me at the end of the game, other than that well made and good job. Graphics had a theme of there own, not my cup of tea when it comes to the graphics though, same with the game as it is a platformer but I can see potential in this game for people who are a fan of the genre. The idea of the whole window closing is was new and refreshing. The BIGGEST problem, with the game, was actually the window changing. Not because of headaches or lack of concentration, but due to the window refresh lag caused by the window swapping sizes. I don't know how you would fix that, but good job anyway!
Great submission And this idea can go far if you continue! I feel like the tutorial was a bit forced on me but other than that. Great job! Keep it up!
The overall idea of the game was well done. The objective was simple, and the graphics were simple but got the point over and I found them funny at times. The floatiness of the controls was not too much to impact gameplay in a bad way. One bad thing I want to say, is that I think there should be more feedback visually when you get closer to the black hole. I seemed to have fallen in many times since there was a lot going on on the screen and I lost track of my player. Visual feedback when getting close to the black hole would have improved the gameplay also allowing you to think how you are going to launch the item you have in your hand.
Great work, Loved the sprites, Graphics AND MUSIC. I am a little confused about the difference between change gravity and toggle gravity, other than that top marks. Well done! Keep it up!
An original take on the platforming genre, Simple sounds but only heard when jumping. Simple yet mesmerising graphics but did not feel like the hazards/enemies fit the style of the world. Had a good time playing this and happy to give a positive yet constructive review!
Had to go back to this page to see how I kept the fire burning, other than that. Solid gameplay. Can see this getting repetitive after a while. Graphics are simple enough but portray the style the game is meant to have. Running out of space was obvious and a constant threat. Good job. Maybe add more variants of vampires!
Not too fond of this one, had to come to the conclusion by myself I have to pick up + click. No real gameplay in this other looking at the screen and doing what it says. I don't feel like there is enough time to do anything and think either. I may have missed the point of this unfortunately.
Well done, the Great game overall. I didn't really feel the theme until the last level. Other than that, Great game and look forward to playing more from you. The art was spectacular, Audio was there and felt a part of the game. Good job!
Great management game, could have done a lot with the borders though in my opinion. Was entertaining for a while but I would be lying if I didn't get a bit bored after a bit. Well done and good job. I think if you expand this then it could be big!
I don't see why there is a brush scale option, but other than, The game can be quite addictive especially when there is a score competition element. The audio was great at first but got repetitive. The overall good game, and could go further if you continued working on this. May I suggest a GLOBAL Leaderboard.
This game could REALLY use some more movement. I would love to be more nimble with jumping. Other than that, really good concept and mimics a kind of 1st person bullet hell kind of game. Would be extremely fun to play with friends taking turns. Great job and continue as this has promise!
Good job, Doesn't seem much point in killing other than for points, Other than that, good visuals and good audio. Gameplay kept me playing on its own though.
I don't think this game was balanced enough, unfortunately. I spent a lot of time just waiting around, and even though there were many humorous things on this, I got bored pretty easy. I like the graphical style and sounds though they have achieved good ratings for me!
Enjoyed this, I enjoyed that I had the option to Add screen shake to my screen shake as well as turn of screen shake! Good option there. I feel like I was cheated when grabbing onto some walls at the speed I was going but was easily countered. The levels I played wasn't too difficult and the game as a whole had me laughing with the sound effects and gameplay. Good job!
Played this on stream and I enjoyed the simpleness of this game, Pop by sometime I would love to chat with you about this submission. Now for the review! https://www.twitch.tv/devio
Simple graphics, but got the gameplay there, constantly running out of space and I adored the spreadsheet at the end. I found that a few of the thoughts even though I clicked them, still went off screen though. Would have been nice to have a bit more feeling for the thoughts if they were in a more interesting box! Good job!
The concept and theme were there, and with enough balancing, could be fun. But as it currently stands, the game feels too slow for the objective given. Having got close to lighting up all LED's to be killed and then having to be slowly dragged through the rest of the level again, found it too tedious. Good visuals, and good coding overall. Just very slow and could use balancing.
I honestly don't know how to review this. It's funny and comical constantly, feel like the game is a bit too random to be a full game, but honestly, I don't think while you were developing this, you were aiming for gameplay. Tell me if I'm wrong, but you created this to make someone's day. Its more for the humour than it to complete. Great game going back to days where people gamed to have fun, and not to complete. Congrats!
I find the worst part of this game is the unfairness. Many times I died, it felt like I wasn't able to avoid it. Just by adding an incremental speed to the blocks over time instead of the blocks falling at full speed, would have done this game wonders, The audio seemed a bit too in your face at times and got distracting. the graphics were simple but did not try to do more than nesseserry. Well done and good job!
Fantastic submission, Played the part well, As it was a Bomberman style game, some innovation was lost, other than that fantastic gameplay, smooth and sprites (other than the chars) was great! Music had me jamming in my seat haha!
CLIPPY ... The overall good game, kinda got repetitive but many games do. I would suggest you add more hazards in the levels instead of just A > B. Other than that, good sound design, Good CRT monitor emulation, And good graphics, Good job!
Really good submission, The fact that you could challenge your friends with scores made a huge impact on this game and I fear without it, would not be worth a second play. Graphics are simple yet effective, sounds are repetitive but fun. Well done! Keep it up.
Great submission! Had a good small time playing with this so keep it up! Had an issue when trying to move the window, it decided to hide and run away. Good graphics and audio and simple yet fun gameplay! Thank you for your submission and thanks for joining the stream!
Loved the simplistic feel, Well done. Good sounds in the game and simple gameplay yet effective! Well done!
I would ADORE to play this game casually with a "Just Tron" mode. Not as keen on the dodge and collect mode but added to running out of time theme. Loved the style and graphics of this game and stood out upon most others. I saw that some of the lines after turning a corner was overlapping so to say, but other than that, AI did what it needed to, game wasnt overcomplex and a fun time overall.
Nice work, And you have even implemented a global leaderboard, Would have been nice to have different orbit line colours, as it can get difficult to tell different orbits apart. Simple audio, but what do you expect in space? Would have been nice to have some ambient ominous background noise.
Enjoyed the concept of this game, Very fast paced game, and using physics to help complete the levels was fun. I can see this game getting repetitive unfortunately though. Enjoyed the simple pixel art style and it did the game wonders. Congratulations on this submission!
Great game, but was difficult to see what was going on until I died once or twice. it would benefit with a start menu describing what you had to do first! Other than that great visuals and sounds! Made me have some nostalgia !!! haha
The player character could use work visually, the game can get really repetitive, other than that, the rest of the art style had a charm, it felt nice with movement, clear simple goals and fun (until it got repetitive) Good work and I hope you continue this. It won't win any awards but it is a game, you know you can come back to.
Enjoyed this game, simple turn-based game that shows promise and works well. Had no issue with this and got into deep thought! well done!
Reminded me sort of "Thomas was alone" by the initial impression, The game mechanics were good but could use improvement especially with the sadness of the char. Great minimalist design and sound design!
Could do with a lot of collision changes and overall balancing, but the mood it set was great. A bit too difficult for it to be fun for me but great job! The movement was a bit weird but I slowly got used to it.
Overall good game and has potential if more time was added!
Great Audio, Fits the style of the game. The UI I found interesting, made me feel like I was playing an old space sim back when I was a kid! Unfortunately, I found this quite mundane, it seemed like more effort went into the mechanics than the gameplay. Overall, Good submission.
Great game, Difficulty was just right, good quality audio and visuals. Could be a game people pick up and come back to every now and then. Good work!!
The best submission I have come across so far, Please I beg of you, continue with this. If it was early access, I would pay for it. If it was a full release, If there was more to this game I would pay full price. This game is visually stunning, audio is beautiful. Pat yourself on the back because this is the best submission I have seen and had the honour of streaming and playing so far!
Fun little game, Streight to the point and overall fun to play. Nice graphics and nice feel to the overall game. Well done!
I enjoyed the time I had with this, The humour from the narrator had me laughing a few times. I did not play to the end unfortunately but could see the progression and difficulty increasing as I continued. Well done and this game has promise if you chose to continue. The music was industrial and fitted the theme.
The concept with the theme and the RTS style building with FPS mechanics are desperately needed in gaming these days, but yours seemed too easy and with no real challenge. I felt like nothing was happening to a lot of the time. Unfortunately, I had to rate this game with huge potential so low.
A very fun game, I had some stressful fun time with this, I found the audio weird, not bad but weird. Simple graphics but got what it needed to across. My only issue is that the box recycler should be further away from the conveyor!
Had a nice laugh with this one, Artstyle is great as well as the music. The gameplay was simple. Even though I enjoyed the music, I find it could get repetitive. Great job, and remember. Why did the chicken cross the road!
Good game overall has many similar elements to allot of horror strategy games, this is not a bad this as they have been tried and tested. What I think would improve the game, is fewer generators. I was too busy running around and sorting generators out to feel a sense of impending doom. And the monster instead of being horrifying After running around a lot it was more of a jump scare. All of these problems can be fixed I think, with fewer generators. Graphically this game looked nice and I have (during the stream) suggested looking into the post-processing stack by Unity. Had a bit of fun during though so good job, a game is meant to give some sort of entertainment and you hit that on the head.
I absolutely loved this submission on the sound and effects alone. I'll be honest I was completely clueless for a little, but that added to the somehow tension this game produced. That with the ominous background noise and the bloop the keys made. Very well done!
I only have to say, it would be nice if the objective was laid out better!
Interesting concept, but I found that the bugs outweighed the fun you can have in this game, The objective was quite clear and although you had said that you can fly over obstacles once, I was able to fly around all of the levels. I think allot of balancing is needed and you need to work more on the objective and how it is presented to the player. Good simple graphics, but they got the job done. Good work.
Very inviting game for this jam, You had bits of attention to detail, including tilting when you move as well as remarks on the ground. Had a laugh of the workers flying out of there cabins. I found this game difficult, but by design. This game felt the right amount of difficulty for the short time you had to balance it. The only bad thing I can say but is easily fixed is a restart button.
Okay, gameplay but felt like I was doing nothing most of the time, more enemies and hazards could solve this. The running out of space part of the game was there, but bare. It was just keeping a counter down most of the time. Good level design and good art & sound! Good job!
Enjoyed this game and the difficulty, Congratulations. Stunning visuals, Good subtle audio and intense but possible gameplay. It was difficult at the start to remember the direction colours, but after getting a small grasp of them the game became easier. This is a game that requires skill only available by playing the game. I cannot think on the top of my head any cons. Would have been nice to have a tutorial mission, but due to time, I understand why there wasn't.
Good game, FOund the game a bit difficult though. Couldn't get past wave one even though the bar was full. Had fun playing this submission and well done!
Enjoyed this submission greatly, Was impressed by the 2.5D ball and the glow the model and halo around it produced. I found it wasn't too challenging at the start and easy to get used to the controls. Overall a good submission! Great job!
NOTE: THERE WAS A QUIT BUTTON :D
Had quite a bit of fun with this one, I found out eventually that the walls only move when you do. The music, while cool at first got a bit annoying and distracting. The graphics within themselves was interesting and a change to 3d or normal 2d. Well done!
Great article, Nice subtle sounds in the background, not too distracting. This submission could benefit from a goal other than tasks though. Well done! UI was great too! made me feel like playing SimCity!
Had a laugh for a little bit before it kind of got confusing. But i had a fun time here. The loud smash when I first dropped the vial scared the daylight out of me. Good job and this would be great in VR haha!
Polish is mandatory in my eyes for this game, The Controller feels slow, Inputs are not being registered at the time of input (Will press "A" and the controller will move half a second later)
This has potential as a puzzle game, But it seems more like it exists to exist. There is no clear indication that you need to keep hold of the space bar until the second level to reset. The game could use a lot of graphical and technical updates. If more love and work was put into this it has the potential of becoming something I would play for more than 5 minutes. As it currently stands I lose interest before then.
I think this has potential, The few changes you should make for future versions if you plan to make any, Is that you should get either audio or visual feedback for successfully hitting something. The audio and visuals did what they needed to and set premice for a darker time the game is set in. Well portrayed and I personally love the control style, though I think it might need tweaking since placing items in my inventory seemed clunky. Other than that, Well done!
Enjoyed the simulation + action parts of the game mixed together. Felt like the "running out of space" part was more shown as a timer than me actually running out of HDD Space. I enjoyed the art style of the game, The mix of 2D and 3D fit nicely with the graphics. The audio background, when heard, was not obstructive to the gameplay and sat well to cover the white noise. Great submission! Can't wait to see how this comes along!
A tad too easy, Sounds was good, but I found the constantly changing "Tetris" pieces got a bit too distracting, and with the graphics, eventually made me want to stop playing due to feeling a bit sicky.
The game overall has promise but may not sit well with a lot of people. I hope you continue with this after the compo to update and continue! It could go leaps with the right love!
Great concept, But it took me a while to grasp the concept of the game. It felt really hit and miss about how you completed the objective at first, but when I got what I had to do and how to do it, the game got better. Visuals were stunning, but the audio, while being great, got repetitive. Good job
I have to agree with @sloyd here, The art did look familiar but rated it anyway since I could not think of where I had previously seen it (if I had) Overall, The game has promise, but it took me getting told by my chat that the water was slowly expanding. I think you could have played on the theme a little more, but good work on the implementation.
Great concept, very humorous, Well designed. Was fun to explore around the desktop and folders but that comes with its downfall as well. All the hidden memes kept me distracted from the core game other than just a sideshow.
Overall good game and fun to play! Great work!
Actually enjoyed that quite a bit, Though the sounds did start to get distracting, And maybe in the future tone down the level shake when you get a hit, Its a good addition but too strong in my opinion!
Great game!
@angelofdeath1000 Great work! Enjoyed watching the small part of your stream that I came for! The graphics are basic but convey the danger of certain objects. I felt a bit cheated some of the time when failing but other than that, straightforward gameplay! Well done!
Really enjoyed the model of the bombs and character, The "blooping" sound effect was slightly funny as well. Fitted the theme. The controls could use work as I got lost a few times. it didn't feel natural. other than that great submission!
The walls moving in, felt at first a bit too quick, until if found out that you could push the walls. After learning this, I found that the game was allotted more polished. It would have been nice if it was more apparent on what lockers you could open. The controls could use more work though. Good game with potential if you continued working on it.
You attempted to make something comical, that is obvious and you have hit that on the head. You didn't try to make the game something its not. That gets more marks for me. All audio being self-recorded was great and started singing along to the "dud um dud um" music. Well done!
Had a good laugh with this one, Controls are simple and do the job, You get told what to do and how to do it. I giggled at the game over screen quite a bit. Didn't realise I could stack dogs at first! Simple not in your face music added to this experience! Well done!
The simple but functional game, Had no issues with running or playing. This was unfortunately not my cup of tea, but I can see the appeal for other gamers that enjoy this genre. I think more could have been added to improve the game with the time you had, but as I do not know your programming/game development skill. You did a good job of creating a game.
Seemed difficult to understand at first, but very quickly got the hang of it. I think the meteor timer should be simplified a bit. But other than that well done!
Loving the initiative on the UI. Its different and quirky :D The theme is good I am enjoying the visuals greatly!
Enjoyed playing this for a very little time. The dragging of items is tedious and kind of got boring, It would have been nice to have an empty house at the start, that way you can feel you are running out of space other than you just have no space. Loved the graphics and humour. Really wanted to go to "Girls Girls Girls" But alas I couldn't. Enjoyed listening to the "beep beep" as the delivery man buggered off :D
Extremely quirky and fun to play, It does get repetitive unfortunately though, and I'm sure that can be fixed with more time. The art could be a bit less cartoony, but I'm worried if you made it less you would take the charm away so that's a hard one. Good work!!
The audio, Was calming and subtle in the background, unfortunately, didn't cover up the hate and fear of cuthulu :) The audio didn't get in the way of the gameplay. For a game that was created for the jam in such a short time, It is well made with little no bugs. I didn't at first read the instructions and it made it difficult to figure out what I was doing. After coming to terms with what I was doing gameplay was well done. My ONLY issue, it that cuthulu should spawn on the other side of the map to where the first chest is located.
Found the sounds great in this game, It felt personal like you cared for what you made and wanted to share the laughs with others, Graphics was just enough for me, Did what they needed to. The overall fun game, the Only con is that I felt a bit cheated at times when things spawned on top of me!
Was pleasantly surprised when it came to the closing in, and felt like the pieces were getting faster, although it was the room getting smaller. Its Tetris at the end of the day but that being said, you made your own take on it. The gameplay can and will get addicting, and following the magical weird phenomenon of Tetris, does not get repetitive. Good work!
Can get a bit repetitive after a while, but had fun going through it, trying to save the penguins from global warming! Good job. Hate to see you had to get off before you saw the game on stream, You can go check the post stream at my channel! Good job!
Good job, Gameplay and controls would be nice if you tweaked them a little, but I can see this game after a bit of extra work, becoming addictive and fun to come back to. Good job!
I loved the Tron style here added with the jumping! Graphics were simple yet effective, I found it really clear on what I had to do. The difficulty was hard but fair and the sounds fit the game well. You have taken this theme and played on it well, Great job.
@jelbre I actually agree with you on all of your points. I didn't have enough time to correct them at the end though unfortunately. I would have definitely done things different control wise. The whole reason for the dropping into the recycler automatically is that before it was too difficult to rely on physics to do the work, I should have copied the same with the customers but was not a high priority. Thank you for the feedback and I totally agree on what you have to say. :)
Thank you for the feedback @syrapt0r! Yes, they still have the annoying effects while walking away but it does not affect your score :D Its something minor that never got changed in time! Thank you for your feedback and your time :D
PS: I'm glad I made you laugh :)
@florian-van-strien The timer decreases by 1 second after every level but I agree, After I got the main core systems in place, it would have been too dangerous to add more with the time I had left on the fear of not finishing in time. I agree it gets repetitive but I plan to continue development after this after the compo! thank you for your great feedback!
@triplefox Thank you so much, yeah this concept may have been a bit of a handful for 48 hours, but I'm happy how it turned out! I tried to give the boxes a bit of personality with the "Fragile" after being thrown out of the box Door. Thank you for your feedback! :D
@hakro Yeah, I had no time to continue with sounds as I would have to learn how to make it :( Sorry for this
@kiotikid Yeah, Actually controller support sounds fun, maybe add a multiplayer feature! Great idea ill add this into the game later on as I plan to continue this after the compo :D Thank you so much for the feedback!
@derek-volker I completely agree, The controller is well implemented, I hope to continue this game after LD so ill be fixing that :D
@ghen Thank you for your feedback! it means a lot!
@dangogamedev I agree, controls will be worked out post LD!
@erendelous Thank you :) All these comments are encouraging me to continue and work on the game. Thank you!
@virtu That is an amazing thing to hear! The repetitiveness is a major issue, and I agree. How would you think of making it less repetitive?
@nexusviper As I do not have One audio bone in my body, I didn't know where to start with audio. And didn't have the time to completely learn it!
@blinkenlights I want to get a Linux to build up, but I don't really understand the submission rules when it comes to adding other system builds after the deadline.
@nihilaleph Thank you very much, its been fun! The boxes don't seem to reset, not all of them anyway. they SHOULD look at my code. Its weird but I think the issue lies deeper than just in my box removal code. Thank you for your feedback though! I hope to fix all bugs and improve the controls and gameplay later on!
Good premise, And honestly if worked on more, could be a very fun side game to play! Addictive gameplay, I think the age check should be a bit more frequent for minors, wasn't so keen on the big music note floating up obstructing my view though!
Fun game, Issue being, The game felt too unbalanced, I found that my health was too generous to regain, I seemed to survive more just by randomly shooting than shooting key targets. More fire modes also will give this game the huge nudge it requires. Good graphics and good sound other than that.
Fun and highly addictive, I gave you some examples of stream how to deal with the "Running out memory" Though a pun in itself.
Good simple graphics portray the game nicely, and the humour of "climate change wins" had me smiling. Well done and good job.
