Great game. I like how the mechanics keep increasing and get more and more difficult. I think I got to Level 15. The minimalistic style is pretty and fits in with the itch.io background (I didn't play in fullscreen). It was like it's implemented into the page
Cool and interesting game. At first I didn't know what to do but to be honest, I didn't read the instructions clearly so I didn't know how to get gems. The music is really great. I like the drama. And the art style is good too :)
I love this game. It's so pretty and peaceful. The music and graphics fit perfectly together and the concept is great as well. What is the fish sound? I kinda like hearing it.
At first I was confused with the fish splitting. I thought I have to hold down the button so when I tried it out I was confused why their all going in different directions. But later I realised.
Great game :)
Good game, I love the visuals and the sound design is great (judging from your website you're an audio design professional?). The game was pretty intuitive, I knew what I had to do. The only thing I didn't know was that I can shoot. I saw it on the page after playing. Maybe add an indicator to the game as well just like you did with the movement controls
Great idea. It's really creative. Using the contrast of ice and fire an creating a unique mechanic with it that fits the theme "Delay the inevitable" perfectly. The sound and the art style are cute and beautiful.
Another thing, the movement feels pretty polished and nice.
Overall great game :)
Great game. The idea is really creative. Being trapped in a water filling cave and staying alive as long as possible. The water physics look great.
One thing you could improve is the UI. It doesn't really stand out and is just the Godot Standard Theme. For example in the tutorial, the exit button is hidden in plain sight. It's dark and places on a dark background in a random location where you wouldn't expect an exit button. Place it at the top left and give it some color :)
The game looks and sounds fantastic. The art style, music, voice over. Everything is so great and polished and that in this little amount of time. It was finger twisting and mind bending. Holding down the wrong keys, because I think I'm holding the right one but it's one beside. Fun. I encountered the know issues with the keyboard, but it wasn't a huge issue. If it helps, I was using the German (Qwertz) Layout on a M1 MacBook Air. But it really wasn't a huge deal and didn't bother much. It also doesn't fall under consideration for the ratings, I just pretend everything worked fine. I mean, it did for the most part so yeah. Good game
Great game. At the start I didn't know what to do but then I figured it out. After playing the game I've also read the game page and then it became clear. I may should've done it beforehand
I love the game. It's really fun and the music is so catchy
The music is so catchy. I love it. The game also looks very beautiful. Especially the main menu looks like a lot of effort was put into it, with all the animations etc. It's a difficult game but I enjoyed it :)
I love the game, the music is really calm and it's fun solving the puzzles. Would be nice if it auto resets when you died and if you could push boxes with boxes.
But overall great game :)
It was a little complicated at first to figure out how the game is controlled (maybe you can add this on the itch page). But after I figured it out it was a fun small endless falling down "platformer" (idk how to call it)
I love the artstyle and the overall theme. It's such so cute, I love it. Adorable. At the end I had 1 egg left but no dinosaurs so I had to wait until it hatched to continue playing. Maybe stop the game when only eggs are left or let them hatch immediately.
But overall great game :)
Fun game. Judging from the screenshots, it just looked like a snake game but playing it, it wasn't one. Creative idea turning snake around and being the thing that gets eaten by a snake.
For the movement, it seems like if you're moving diagonal, you're faster. Ever heard of the Pythagorean theorem? a² + b² = c². So for example, you're moving 1 to the right and 1 to the top at the same time. Your total distance traveled isn't 1 but square root of too because of the Pythagorean theorem.
So if you're moving diagonal, you have to divide the speed by sqrt 2 to keep it consistent
I love the art style. It's also a very nice idea to be unknowable and don't want to be seen. I also like the ending and that it's positive even though you inevitably lost. To make the game more playable, maybe add keyboard controls. It wasn't that nice having to click every step. But this movement would work great on mobile, maybe if you finish the game you could port it over :)
I think this is a good game. I couldn't really play it because I can't water the plants. On the image it looks like you have to hold left and right click at the same time but that's not possible for me. I'm on a Macbook and a left click is done with one finger and a right click is done with 2. There is no left or right and I can't do both at once. Maybe make it that. the watering can waters automatically ones it's grabbed or over a plant
Such a great presentation. I love the music and the graphics. The music is such a great fit. Relaxing and just a casino vibe. A simple and easy to understand concept packed in a beautiful and polished game
Nice game. I think I had the good ending. I never attacked even though I said "I'll zap you". Had this any effect on the ending? Saying that I will do something violent but then don't do it?
But great game, I liked the art style and the music. The most thing I liked was the story and the multiple ending
Great game. It's very polished and looks very professional. Nothing like It was done in 72 hours (That's a compliment not distrust :) I love the art and the music. The game would work great on mobile. There's a lot you have to do with a mouse and would work great on a touchscreen
Beautiful game. I like how it's so atmospheric and natural with growing plants etc. The art and music is wonderful too. Overall great game :)
Great game. Very creative that you have to mess up the moms room to get more time. I love this idea
The first time playing it I was really confused. I just followed the entrance and got straight to the end without actually exploring. Maybe just remove the arrow and let the player find the end themselves :) I mean it's an exploring game anyway.
But aside from this small thing it's a great game. I love the art, I love the music, I love the story/lore.
Well done
Oh wow I love this game. It just fits the theme perfectly and having characters as life etc is such a creative idea. For the minigames, it wasn't always clear what I have to do. Maybe give a (better) shot explanation at the beginning and a little countdown so you don't die if your confused at the start. But overall great game :)
I love the art and the music. Great game.
It would be nice if you can still see the dialog while choosing an option. Tbh I'm not that much of a reading guy and skipped a little bit and when it came to make a decision I couldn't see anymore what was said so I had to pick at random. But that's not a big problem, I think the target audience wouldn't be skipping through the dialog like me... :)
Great game, considering it was done for compo. Very fun to play, I really enjoyed it. I didn't get far (9 Points Highscore), but it was fun anyways. You even managed to put in a leaderboard while, I'll repeat it, making this for compo
Very creative game. I love the limbo style and the typing mechanics. There were some unpolished things like sometimes you could see the standard grey background because the camera moves too far but that's not a huge deal. I won's consider these small things in my rating as well :)
Overall great game, I love it
Cute game but what did the cheese mean? Does it have a specific meaning I don't get?
Great game, really creative idea building on a sinking boat. I had like a floating sky scraper with 42(?) modules. I really enjoyed playing it. Maybe add a feature to scroll, at some point I built too much and the new building places where outside the screen. Also at the beginning I just randomly build and after 5 builds there were no more places I could build. Maybe add a feature that you have always at least 1 building space so you doesn't get stuck or be able to remove something
Cool game. I didn't manage to beat it but I liked it. I love the art but I guess its not your own because you opted out. But either way, great asset choice. Maybe make the UI more fitting to the theme for example using a font or colors from the game art color palette
@jkyd What version did you try to play? Web, Windows, Mac or Linux? I could only test the web and Mac version, because I don't have Linux or Windows
@jkyd oh okay. I've never got this error. If you still want to play it, maybe try another browser or the download version
@bauke-regnerus The "floating" timer is a choice (You mean the bar at the bottom while playing the game right?). The height of it says how fast the time is. A thin bar is a slow time and a bigger bar is fast time
@arihan10 actually I've made the game alone. But thank you :)
Interesting but incredibly hard. Didn't even get one word haha
Nice game, I love the art style. It looks really good
Very fun game. Loved all the different effects and that they stacked. Like I got 3 times low gravity in a row and it felt like the gravity got lower and lower. Walking and jumping alone was so fun, the potions kinda became irrelevant to me. The game also fits the theme pretty well. It would have also worked in the last jam with delay the inevitable.
The music is great, as well as the audio design. Love that there are multiple tracks that change with every effect. Sounds like you've put a lot of work into it.
And I also like the writing, in the game but this page too. It's funny.
Overall great game, liked it
Great game. I think I accidentally drowned a passenger in the river. It just stood there under water. But I kicked them out of there and it seemed like they were moving again, so I'm not a murderer
Nice game. Tbh I didn't read everything, it was a quite large amount of text, but for what I have seen I liked the game :)
Good game, I liked the idea of washing windows and having to dodge all these different things. But I didn't really understand the theme of every 10 seconds. I thought maybe the platform moves every 10 seconds or you have to dodge something every 10 seconds, but when I counted it wasn't 10 seconds. Or I'm just bad at telling time idk. Have I missed something? But good game, I liked it :)
Great game. It was a bit confusing at first but then I figured out what I had to do. Pretty creative. Love the thing with the dark and normal world and that you come back to the normal world every 10 seconds. But I didn't really get the story. Can you tell me?
Good game. Really funny how you can punch the manager, when you loose. But I didn't get how to control the right arm. I used the web version on macOS safari
I really like the idea of the sun flares every 10 seconds. But they really don't have to be 10 seconds long. But aside from that great game :)
Cool game, I liked the idea. Would be nice if you don't have to wait the remaining time after completing a level
I really like the title screen animations. Game would be great on mobile so you can touch the stars better :)
@ch4b13r ohh didn't see that. Thank you :)
I think not playable on macOS? It's just a folder with a bunch of files but nothing executable
Wow really fun game. Also very creative and polished. While playing it, I thought it must have been done be a team, but you're just 1 person. Wow
Really cool game. Liked the added twist.
Some ideas: Add an easy and hard mode. Easy mode is for people who suck a Tetris (like me) In this mode all the random things are kinda in your favour, making it easier for you to fill out rows.
Normal mode is just like you had it.
And hard mode is the opposite of easy, purposefully trying to make it harder
@fabula-rasa Thank you for the feedback. The foxes don't kill you immediately when touching. You have to be touching them 0.2 seconds, so it's possible to escape. You can even jump on top of them, it's quite fun. So I thought, given that you can escape and that the game is short anyway, it wouldn't be really needed to give the player more lifes. But thank you for letting me know :)
Nice game, I like that it's simple to understand and doesn't really need a tutorial or explanation
