The game feels very good to play even though I find it a bit frustrating when the nugget gets stuck in little crevasses. I got stuck at the 5th et 6th hole (camera is weird, and unable to do anything) but you saved the progress so that wasn't that bad. Loved that you combined the gold nugget and golf, it really adds personnality to the game. Good job!
Gorgeous looking game and very cool and original mechanics!
Really like the art style (especially how the worm look!). I found the speed and the turn a bit slow and hard to know the difference beetween what you must eat and what kills you. Nice take on the genre, good job!
The bathysphere is very satisfying to control. The game overall looks good and the game feels nice to play. Colliding to walls might feel a little too punishing (maybe adding a little push back so you don't get repitively hurt?). I found it a bit frustrating to navigate and grab around a treasure while an enemy was shooting at me.
But overall really nice job!
I really enjoyed solving the little puzzles. It is not the best looking game but it was an enjoyable experience (I liked the little touch of humor at the end!). Good job!
Cool vibes to it. I think the jump is a little bit floaty and it can be very frustrating jump over the big animals. Also the fact that the animals don't reset can be problematic (at one point I was getting spawn killed). I really liked the wiggly plants (even though I thought it was pikes at first) and the soundtrack is super cool :) It lacks a tiny bit of polishing but congrats!
Style is fun but I found it very hard to control. I liked the ragdoll character and the silly feel of the game. I would have liked if you added the arrows to control the character (especially useful for non qwerty users). I tihnk it takes a little bit too much to reload the game once you die (a button or key to reload the level sooner for instance would have been nice). Anyway nice job!
Really nice game! The core mechanics is simple but challenging. Nice atmoshpere, good job!
Very nice way to interpret the theme. It is simple but has depth to it and you really connect with the narrative. I really enjoyed the experience!
Cool concept and graphics! Nice job!
Loved the humor and the little backstory on that one, this is very silly and I like it! The graphics are good and I really appreciated the effort on the environment. Core mechanics is a nice twist on minesweeper.
The only thing for me is that planting a flag might be a little slow and it is hard to see what you are doing but I think it's just a tiny bit a tuning. An indicator for the bomb might have been nice, it's hard (at least in the beginning) to know where it is going to land (it gets better once you get used to it though so it might not even be necessary)
Overall very nice job!
Really beautiful and poetic game. It was a very enjoyable experience.
I agree that the connection with the theme is a bit of a stretch but otherwise solid game.
Good job!
Simple and straight to the point. The visuals are pretty nice and it's cool that you used the lighting even though I think it makes for a bit of unfair gameplay (seing the platform at last moment when you can't really control the pace of the character).
Cool lantern refill mechanic!
I think it is a bit too slow paced, and you can't really react when you encouter a platform.
Nice job!
Very charming game, love the art style. Controls was a bit confusing for me, didn't really understand the airflow mechanic but maybe that's just me. Nice job!
Nice take on a classic genre. The game is very appealing visually but some sound effects would have greatly improved the game feel. I like the fact that you have to avoid breaking things, it is not that common in that type of game.
Great job!
Nice to see a music game! I like the mood and the main character has a lot of personnality. I think the animation of the note is overdone, I find it hard to know precisely where you are on the screen and a bit hard on the eye. I liked the little gameover music. Nice job!
Quite hard to control the plane but it is pretty fun once you get it. I like the random generation and the fact that you see your previous crashes, nice job!
Very nice pixel art. The rocket feels good to control and the idea of it going undergound is nice. It has that addictive feel (you want all the upgrades!) that keeps you hooked.
Few things : - I thought the rocket was a little bit slow and would have liked the possibility to accelerate or something (maybe through an upgrade even!) I know there is the dash but it didn't feel enough for me. - Maybe a clear objective rather than a bunch of diamonds at the end to indicate that I completed the game would have felt more satifsying.
Overll very nice job I really enjoyed playing your game
The gameloop and gameplay idea is fine but it could use more polishing. When the level start the camera should point downwards.
The pixel art is really nice (even though I thought the background didn't relly feels like a cave to me, more like floating rocks in space but maybe it's just me). It would have felt even more polished with a better font choice (it's a detail but it would have complimented your great art).
The game was challenging and super fun to play! The physics is on point and I liked the twist with the dynamite cart when you have to actually slow down! I think the game has good potential for speedruns.
Great job!
@metalfox-dioxymore I was also confused at first, you need to let dynamite cart outspeed you :)
@hugison I know the feeling! :)
Very good looking, I really liked the transitions between the levels and the effect when the element pass under the lens.
Control of the lenses was very confusing for me, so either I didn't get it or you have little to no control over it (I Basically just waited for the target to show).
Nice job and smart take on the theme!
Cool game, I like how vibrant the colors are. The gameplay is simple but effective, it is enjoyable. Props to you for adding a tutorial!
Few things : It tooks me a bit to figure out what character I was, maybe giving it more room to breath at the start of the level would have helped. I find it hard to differentiate the "enemies" from the other things (apart from the shark maybe)
Good job!
