love the hand drawn stuff. the gameplay was also very interesting. clever "lives" system. fun to play with relaxing music. as soon as the music started i knew this was gonna be good. Well done
Very relaxing and fun, quite easy to get how to play it, really love the music. Reminds me of Islanders. also my record was 14 rounds, pretty good to me
music is great, art is cool, overall nice game would definitely play over google dino.
this is indeed the longest commute. the art direction was great and very authentic. the music was very interesting. tho i had to mess around a bit to get the controls. pretty fun game with an interesting concept.
Very nice text adventure with a creepy atmospheric background music, really feels like im exploring a library, impressive game, well done. One cool suggestion is to add sounds to choices to build tension, that's just my perspective, I might not know what im talking about, or do i?
The amount of content is amazing, took some time to get the hang of it but it is pretty fun! Overall, good job.
Very fun game with an interesting concept. great sounds, love the gameplay loop, love the man vs nature theme. Overall very good, except for some minor issues like crashing after wave 5 and people being too small to click on.
cool character, interesting energy concept, really ties in with the theme. Level two was a bit challenging, but that might just be me since I dont really play 3d platformers. I think with clearer indication of how you can transition into a wall jump it would be perfect. Other than that, great game! had a really good time.
this is deep for just an game jam project. very well done, i love the style, coal
This was probably one of the most fun i've had, it is really enjoyable indeed. honestly i could play this for the whole day. The peaceful guitar music and the chaotic gameplay, gotta love that. good job
sick beat bro love that. got rekt a few times but was fun enough to get me to retry. Really fun game and unique among the typing games.
The gameplay loop was very interesting, making death a part of the loop is very clever! The demise was also pretty cool. Although, I found myself spamming the attack button, which just restarts the animation, bad habit. Amazing game tho
Very cool party game, quite disturbing concept tho, aliens forcing you to party and then drowns you. But thats what makes it good, love the unique swimming and aliens. Good game.
THE GAME IS GREAT. THE SHAKEY TEXT AND SCREENSHAKE REALLY GIVES THE GAME A STRONG PERSONALITY. CAPS ARE COOL
Very nice music, love the art style going with neon colors, really emphasizes what you should be focusing on, that's good game design right there.
The music was great, tho i think the sound effects can be lowered in frequency. The visuals were great, love the concept of extinction, really enjoyed blasting them rocks.
First of all, the cover art is just brilliant. The art was great and really interesting, gameplay is pretty cool too!
I've been so close to failing so many times! it's as if some natural force preventing me from doing the dishes now. Great game unique approach, love the concept!
very cool gameplay loop. I think the dash can be executed faster or dont rely on double clicking, other than that, amazing game!
very fun to play. love the concept. the ending was funnny. overall great game
the lever part lagged a lot, i don't really know why. I'll look into it later on hopefully
@adrien-tremblay you may have just found me a new game! just wishlisted Dear Esther. also thanks for the feedbacc!
Really like the concept, easy to understand, artstyle is interesting, I can really feel the theme in this.
This game has so much content I tried to exhaust all the options, eventually i realized that the picture on the wall changed and the music started to get wonky. my kind of game. interesting concept and innocent gameplay loop on the outside, but deep in reality. jokes aside, while some parts of the dialogues are funny, its actually kind of sad an unsettling, its like dark humor. Very well done.
Huh, neat tool. Brings me pain because of the math, but then again, people play dark souls.
Reminds me of the old Atari Space invaders type games, but you can move and you cant let the enemies lose.
Best time for me is 88, and I really wanna keep playing. This game is a whole new definition of rhythm game, good job with that. Although a feedback for when you can move should be a thing, as I often find myself spamming the movement keys, as they work when spammed so why not. Maybe either introduce a feedback or decentivize spamming by putting a cooldown or something. That is just a suggestion, the game is still one of my top 5s.
I dont know if it's just me or it's the game that's lagging. Other than that, game's pretty fun! Love how the theme is implemented.
Great execution of theme, 10 seconds fits really well as a countdown time here, but it gets stale after a while. That can be fixed with more time so I have no complaints. A quit button tho.
@foursay @jag Thanks for the suggestions! Download file names are updated and instructions are added along with some bugs for "Not just me" stuff.
Cool mechanic of getting the key to the door! There should be a tutorial somewhere tho, like in the description
Really cool concept! Its like pac man but with a twist.
I was thinking "This can't be what I think it is", then OH MY GOD IT IS. I kinda love it, although I wish I had a headset so I can experience it firsthand. I would play this if I get a cat.
What coolgun said! The mechanics needs some time to get used to, but once we get used to it, its super fun! Due to it being a movement parkour I think a sensitivity setting would be great! Definitely my top 5 tho
Peace was never an option. I get that French keyboard uses a different layout, which I believe is the main problem for me. I really like ducks. Death animation makes me feel powerful. Not sure about the relation to the theme. Overall, great game very fun.
Tower defense fits really well with the theme! Boulders tho, kinda like the random crits from TF2
My best is 2:30
I looooove this game (maybe because ive been trying to implement surf and bhopping in my own games) and I love the source movement. Despite my love for the movement based pineapple shooter, I think I would definitely enjoy a "Surfer" as much as this game is a "bhopper". Time constraints, I know. Great Game love it
MMMh this game is so well-made! I absolutely love the gameplay and the concept of harvesting letters. I guess the only thing I can criticize is the lack of a menu, but who needs that when you got an amazing game? Overall, chef's kiss.
The art style is soo good, and the animations are also very impressive, not to mention how fun the gameplay is. I would like to point out tho that the player's bullets don't seem to scale up as the enemies start to spawn everywhere. It got to a point where I felt like I wasn't doing damage, or that my efforts were insignificant and might as well just try to dodge. Other than that, great game!
While I am personally not that much of a fan of card games, this game was really well-made. The concept was cool i guessss, how it made all the crops and cult stuff connect together. Ooooh the feeling of having my own cult. have a nice day. great game overall.
Very cute and unique opening and artstyle. The space cow is mmmmmh very nice. But the game could use more sound design and music to enhance the atmosphere. Great game overall!
At first glance, this game is quite beautiful, so much so that I accidentally killed like 7 of my little dudes on during the first round, but love the god rays (or maybe just the lighting in general). Now that i think about it, the lighting is very well complemented by the dark tone of the nature of the game, a bit too soft (not in a bad way) for how many people i killed. I guess thats just what happens in a harvest, you gotta lose some.
The gameplay is very intuitive, and there was a clear tutorial on how to play which also helped a lot. The dungeon-like music complemented the gameplay very nicely and the mechanisms are also quite interesting. Very nice game.
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare! You did a great job. I liked the nice gameplay loop and the take on the theme. I would say that there isn't really anything to do once you just accidentally harvest all your crops (maybe thats just me) but anyways, good game overall!
Interesting gameplay, loved the artstyle, not too pixel-y, and also loved the little trail behind the player. Though I did get stuck somewhere when I tried to go to a new chamber/level and the camera just didn't move to the new chamber. Other than that, it's a great entry.
The spider character is just so darn cute and it's hard not to love it. The graphic style is also really cool, with a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. One of the best things about the game is the double jump mechanic, which adds a fun and exciting element to the gameplay. The bug-eating mechanics are also really innovative, adding a unique twist to the gameplay. However, it can be a bit hard to learn at first and may take some time to master.
The voice acting in this game is top-notch and the characters are so well written that you can't help but love them (or love to hate them). The gameplay is incredibly fun and fast-paced, making for a truly immersive experience. And let's not forget the satisfying feeling of a well-executed massacre.
The game is definitely not for the faint of heart, as it can be quite challenging at times, but that only adds to the satisfaction of overcoming the obstacles. However, the tutorial is only provided in text format and some players may find it difficult to fully understand the mechanics of the game.
Additionally, it would be great if the game offered more in terms of difficulty options, such as easy or normal modes for those who are not quite ready for the full challenge.
Overall, the game does a great job of providing a challenging and satisfying experience, but a little more guidance and accessibility options would make it even better.
@bloodycoin Hey man, I know it's been 2 years but I just wanna say thank you so much for this very detailed and quite extremely constructive feedback, wherever you are, I wish you well.
I took an unfortunate hiatus from jamming cus well life happened, and funnily enough, it seems that you did too, and came back this jam as well! Cheers to that and again thank you.
This was a nice game, a lot in such a small time frame. One thing to note is the lack of hand-holding tutorial to walk you through, instead of just throwing you straight into the game, but it is understandable due to the lack of time. Other than that, it gets better over time, and it's a great game!
Rarely do I get to play as the prey, so that is an interesting concept. I especially liked the cute little character and the puzzle concepts, kinda reminds me of pac-man. Some things that I would like to point out: - I would enjoy a larger hitbox when collecting the fruit. - The walking sound could use some variation, as others have pointed out. Very interesting artstyle and cool graphics
Extremely fun to play, did not expect the graphics to be so good too. One thing I would point out is the slo-mo when killing the zombie guys, although it doesn't bother me, it kind of interrupts the pace for me. Also the big boiiii kind of limits my ability to shred the zombies as they sometimes are able to attack me when I shred them.
Overall, amazing fun and great game.
damn. i'll be dreaming about this for sure
seems to be broken!
oh it seems like just a problem only i am having, maybe it has something to do with my graphics driver or something but it's just a black screen. I'll just rate based on the gifs but seems fun and polished!. bug.png
I like the artstyle and the whole color theme, it fits well. Music seems a bit louder than the voice tho, that being said, it is impressive enough that there even is a voice over at all.
honestly, so cool. I really like the gameplay style and the uniqueness! but i do think that the controls, while can be very precise, is a bit unclear and unintuitive but that just takes tweaking! very solid base, where are the fish
HA yeah go to hell emails!
Wow it's so atmospheric honestly. Simple and chill concept, and a great dose of horror from time to time.
I especially enjoyed that you can predrag and let go once it's ready. That's great design
WHATTT IS THIS THIS IS SO GOOD. I legit had to stop myself from playing cus I needed to get more karma but omg great job I would buy this.
Quite a simple and elegant game! One little feedback would be the main mechanic of climbing. I feel as if sometimes, the inputs are either not received or maybe delayed.

Mom can we get mcdonalds no we have mcdonalds at home mcdonalds at home
goofy little goblin we have here. falling and ragdolling are always just so fun to watch and play!
The simplicity in an escape room combined with short but quality effort in a game like this is what truly makes my 3 am experience a good one.
This is immaculate. Not a big fan of rhythm stuff but this is really fun
a bit ambitious on my part, but I enjoyed the experience! Hope you all do too.
Btw if yall liked the game, but didn't like the art and lack of polish and wanna help, definitely hmu on discord @infecsean !
@is-a-hatbox REALLY!?! THANIS! I fixed the bug and added a bit of starting cash just enough for you to buy the double jump! You won't be disappointed!
@flying-dog-fish Haha! Yes I totally intended to go for minimalist graphics and totally not because of my lack of restraint!
Based on the main menu alone, this deserves so much praise. You guys seem to strike the perfect balance between vision and discipline, with a very functional game and loop, and leaderboard, this feels like product.
LOOK AT THIS LITTLE FELLA. cubefiosh.png
but no you should REALLY put some screenshots in the page, at least the cover would do. It really helps to make people wanna play, especially with something like this LITTE FELLA this is honestly such a great game
If atmosphere was a category I'm sure this game will be in the top 20s! I love the mood built here but as the other guy said, it is unclear sometimes how to progress.
Mood feels good and it already feels established at the start. But for me the text was a bit weird. mindlayer.png
Also, idk if it's just me but the game seems to lag when i tried to jump off at the start there and respawning crashed my game.
really interesting concept! wish i could heal tho, also wish there was a way to lose those monsters, but anyways I had lots of fun!
The mood is amazing! Really interesting how you went for depth in the way of memories. Really thought provoking
Banger mood! The graphics and the artstyle really fits the setting. But I don't really know how to progress most of the time.
This is so fun! Watching the batteries are especially funny, and I also really appreciate the character drawings.
MMMMH DIET COKE. But yeah I don't know how to solve these except trial and error, but it's enough to just do trial and error for some reason, it's very entertaining lol gj.
that's actually a cool concept, surrounding the distracting the skelees, I opened the game, got stuck at the first level, closed the game, came back, looked at the gif, "OMG OK", went back and beat the first skele and got killed and gave up. Good game
i am descending as i write this comment. Cool game and while confusing at times due to indistinguishable background, has a solid base.
what is this and why is it so fun! Very cute, very wacky controls, graphics, umm, wow.
sooooo atmospheric. the ocean is such a good source of depth
