This is my favorite game of the jam. I don’t usually download games, but the graphics really caught my eye. Great controls, amazing style, and a perfect fit for the theme — 10/10. I’ll definitely come back and play the post-jam version later!
Very beautiful pixel art, interesting characters, and great dialogue
Incredibly beautiful and stylish game. The idea really fits the theme “A few seconds, an eternity”, and the core mechanic feels great to play — very creative as well. I was happy to save all three cats, and I hope they stop living in such dangerous little rooms :sweat_smile:
I really like the core mechanic. From the screenshots, I thought it would be another complex jam game that takes 20 minutes to figure out, but the item cooldown system is actually elegant and simple. The progression feels great — definitely worthy of a full game — though the lack of an ending was a bit disappointing. I played up to around level 40!
A pleasant game with an interesting idea. I didn’t immediately understand the goal, but it became clear after playing a bit longer. The game gets quite challenging in the later levels, especially when the wolf balls start spawning on the right side near the exit.
A pleasant and beautiful game! I perfected every level except the last one — I still finished it, but a couple of flies got away :) I really loved the dramatic music that plays when the flies start flying — such a great touch!
It’s a bit of a pity that you can’t stretch the web from its own nodes, but overall it’s an excellent game — I really enjoyed playing it.
Beautiful game with an interesting idea — I actually played it twice!
The first time, I couldn’t finish it. Since the prices for spiders keep dropping, I fell into a trap where I had to sell rarer and rarer spiders just to afford the pause. By the end, I had no real chance to win — every time I sold a rare spider, it pushed me further away from victory than the pause bonus could compensate. So yeah, that run ended in frustration.
The second time, I changed my strategy — I saved up about $80 early on by selling only tier 1 and 2 spiders (to afford pauses later in the game), and after that, I stopped selling altogether. I managed to beat the game without pausing even once.
Conceptually and visually, the game is excellent — but there’s something fundamentally off about the pause mechanic, since paying for it actually moves you further from your goal.
This game is absolutely amazing — the attention to detail is off the charts. It’s really rare for narrative games to shine in a jam; they usually have way too much text and lose the player’s focus. But this one hooked me right away, and even though it’s short, I really loved it.
The art style reminds me a bit of Supergiant Games — beautiful work all around.
The game has a funny and thematic setting, but it’s pretty tough to get through — I keep getting killed by the ghosts! So far I’ve only managed to collect a couple of goat heads 😅
Вот я удивился, когда она со мной на русском заговорила) Красивая игра и идея хорошая
Finished the game in 656 steps At first, I thought I was doing something wrong, but then it all clicked. The game is really frustrating at the beginning, yet somehow incredibly addictive
I love that you added sound progression when the character successfully steps several times in a row — that small touch really sells the feedback loop
Overall, the game feels stylish and polished, which is probably why I played it all the way through. I also liked the core concept — I haven’t played the references mentioned at the end, so the mechanic actually felt quite fresh to me
If I were to change one thing, I’d slightly increase the early success rate, since the initial balance feels a bit too tight
@elenamisubean Oh wow, that’s a lot of flowers! The white flower that looks like a tree didn’t fully grow, so it didn’t count. There was a bug with it, but I think I’ve fixed it now
@local-minimum Thank you so much for the video! It was really helpful. I agree with all your points — I didn’t have time to finish some of the VFX indicators (like on the flower counter or when the book appears), and I also didn’t manage to fine-tune Boomk’s pseudo-random behavior, since I spent too much time on the drag-and-drop system on the first day.
That’s why the game can feel a bit frustrating when Boomk keeps bringing the same items for too long.
I’m really glad you managed to finish the game despite the bad luck with RNG at the end!
@ranarh Thanks a lot for the feedback — I’m really glad you enjoyed the game!
The fact that Bumk kept bringing the same flowers wasn’t exactly a coincidence I didn’t have enough time to properly balance things, so the progression system works like this: depending on how many unique flowers you’ve collected, the game has about 4–5 “offers” that get randomized. The only restriction is that Bumk can’t bring the same item twice in a row, but yeah — that’s definitely not enough for a comfortable experience
As for the L-system, I had to look it up — turns out I’ve done something similar in PICO-8 before. In this game, though, it’s just 9 flower types animated in Unity’s Animator (grow/idle). In hindsight, spending that time on balance, VFX, or SFX probably would’ve been a better idea — but hey, it is what it is 😅
@yellowkamel Oh, I totally get that — I had the same kind of last-minute seedless run before release, which is actually how the game ended up with its name :)
A pretty fun game with a very creative idea! I didn’t really play it thoughtfully — I mostly just tried to drop the coolest item from the pile onto the table. It feels like there isn’t much time to analyze what the character actually needs at the moment, so I just kept stacking random stuff, and the cat kept knocking it off :)
I also really liked how the tutorial and intro are done — very smooth and engaging start!
Скриншоты и стиль крутые и очень хотелось погрузится в ваш мир алкоголя и безумия, но зачем вы сделали такие коллизии стульев в тесной комнате?! Можно же было оставить их для визуала, но сделать проходимыми :crying_cat_face: Диалоги (те, которые смог увидеть) написаны хорошо и звуки бара тоже понравились :thumbsup:
Really loved this game. I didn't finish everything but got pretty far. The concept of a radial maze with the connected mechanics of revealing the location and the timer to keep the player moving is really clever. The art style is very arthouse - I love that kind of thing. The only counterintuitive thing was that the boat jumps :sweat_smile:
I finished the game and killed a lot of people along the way! :sweat_smile: Really liked how the top-down view is handled — the perspective of the surrounding buildings adds clarity without getting in the way of gameplay. Nice touch being able to carry ammo between levels. Overall a very polished game.
The only thing is that the theme feels like it's mostly carried by the narrative - I was expecting the final weapon to tie into the communication signals somehow, but it turned out to be a laser
Felt ready to land real planes after landing two of them and completing the tutorial level with a D grade :smile_cat:
Really original game! Loved the comic at the beginning and the cheerful music. Couldn't quite figure out the traffic rules, but managed to brute-force my way to a win :sweat_smile: When I kept dying from invisible collisions I thought it was a bug, but after a few attempts I realized it was a feature)
Wow, the quality of this game is off the charts. I don't usually enjoy narrative games (especially creepy ones), but I played through this one with pleasure. Is "contact lost" the only ending, by the way?
Really loved the computer mechanic - not too difficult, but it makes you think a little
Really stylish and polished game. A cool twist on Morse code. I especially liked the tutorial with the spacebar - clever way to make sure the player doesn't skip the tutorial :laughing:
Fun game. I couldn't quite figure out how the scoring works, but I tried picking the funniest answers to the questions
