This is definitely a game with an addictive quality. We've played it a few times and are determined to get the candy, whatever the cost! We loved the unexpectedly deep voice of the hamster haha. This generally had a polished feel and was easy to pick up. Would play on mobile. Would like a desktop full screen feature as the mouse kept going outside the screen.
Saw your keynote from a few jams ago and was very inspired to crunch. Glad to see that you clearly did too! Really enjoyed the game and it was a well executed idea to say the least. I actually had a similar idea myself but didn't go with it as it was my first jam and the complexity overwhelmed me a bit haha.
Very complete experience! I'm sure you'll do very well in at least one category. It's a lot of fun and somehow you actually finished it in 48 hours. Loved the story too! :)
Very drawn in by the cover image and title so nice job there. Loved the main character + hawk artwork + animation and the general world aesthetic. We missed the music which would have completed the atmosphere you were going for I think. Would loved to have played more but the game kept crashing for some reason after a minute or two. Great job!
Was really blown away by your cover photo and it tempted us to play this so great job on that! Played until the end (for me anyway ;). Loved the poetic theme and general atmosphere. The colour scheme was very pleasing to the eye. Calm and comfortable to play, just general nice vibes. The end cutscene was very well done also.
This was very cool, it's a neat idea that's well executed. The only thing I had a problem with which would just be nit picking because it's such a complete game was that the cube should snap to the positions so that it's easier to line up with the gaps. PS. I love Pizza so that's a plus for me. Also, I didn't know you could host games on Netlify so that is awesome!
Loved the dramatic story and artwork. Felt tense all the way through. Cool and original creepy boss design. Liked the scenery and atmospheric music choice! The camera movement could be smoother as the player moves so fast when he attacks. Love the concept though, could be a fun full game Thanks again for playing our game on stream :)
Wow, how did you get this much work done in 3 days?? I was pretty blown away by the detail in the game and to be honest I was shocked when the farming level finished and it moved onto a completely different world! I would have struggled to finish the first level haha. Bravo.
I've never tried 3D but it looks like you learned a hell of a lot! I'd probably still be working out how to export from Blender into Unity by now! I liked the funny dialog about the machine. With a few extra mechanics and some polish I think this could be a really solid title! Well done, don't be so hard on yourself!
I was really immersed in this game! Very cool style, atmosphere and general commentary on work life for so many people. I love something with a good amount of depth, and you really captured that "from a to be" sort of world. Well done! Thanks for sharing this.
Haha I loved the title, very honest and funny :D Aw, real shame about the dialogue that didn't make it in! What was there was awesome, you have a fantastic voice. My fiance is a writer and was very impressed.
I was NOT expecting the duck hahaha. I was definitely stuck in a loop :D, I kept dying and couldn't figure out what I had done wrong. Big fan of the artwork!
Holy cow, that was good. I could have sworn I was playing Hotline Miami it was that good! This is one I'm going to come back to and play again I think as I didn't manage to complete it this time around. How did you do this in 3 days? Insane
This one had my partner and I smiling all the way through! It's just a happy game :) I found the controls a little hard to master but the general aesthetic and mood were very well put together. Would make a fun mobile game with the gyroscope to turn. Bravo!
A very beautiful game, I was shocked when I right clicked and then even more shocked when I realised it was a flashlight. The art, sound effects and general ambience were on point! I guess I was waiting for some kind of transition or progression or a challenge/puzzle. Overall excellent entry and I'm not sure how you did it in time.
Ah yes! Another "Cursed" game... We are a small breed! :) About to start work but I'm bookmarking this for later. Cheers
This is the best entry I have played yet, very fun and hilarious. Great job!
Really impressive game, smooth and seemless. It's a simple and effective idea that's executed really well and keeps you eager to play til the end. The style is great. Loved the music and general ambience. Reminded me of Moon. Spoiler alert: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f5QYJ20wHiqXhD64h6EZtL_gyJ1DxTF7/view?usp=sharing
We didn't complete the game but thought the mood was excellent and I absolutely adore this song so that was a big plus! The spelling mistakes made us laugh as we were rushing like crazy in the last few hours and did a few things like that ourselves :D
Was that really your first ludum dare?? Very impressive stuff. Loved the voice acting, it has inspired us for our games. Nice pace and vibe to the game. Found a bug where the text overlapped a bit. It was nice gradually putting the pieces together.
Hahaha, I really enjoyed my Farmville-esque experience. Unfortunately didn't make it to 9999999, damn. Very well put together game with clean graphics and sound effects. Nice
Thank you all for your comments so far, it really means a lot to us. We'll be playing your games together later tonight and commenting back. :) PS. Check out Tom Stephenson's and HumanIsRed's games if you haven't. Played last night and they are both great!
Thanks @digital-bacon, we completely agreed with all of those points haha. Will try and implement them for a post jam version. Just a matter of too much scope for our first game and not getting a chance to change those bits. Really appreciate the solid feedback you've given here. Will play yours later. Dan & Georgia
I pressed space bar so many times haha. Liked the humour and general look and feel in the game, it's so cute! Nicely done, I hope to be able to make 3D characters like this some day.
A very simple idea that just works. I wasn't sure whether it was possible to complete but I had a lot of fun trying anyway! Like someone else said it could do with a more gradual difficulty increase and perhaps a few lighter tutorial/prep levels. Big possibility for this to be a popular mobile game.
