Incredible! A familiar genre combined with a familiar theme in a humorous way. The cheering sounds and graphics of the audience really completed it. If I have to nitpick something I would say that the taking damage/hitting obstacle sound doesn't fit in very well with the rest of the audiovisual theme, maybe it could have been something more brutal?
Incredible game, maybe the most fun one I've played here so far. The mechanic was solid and everything worked smoothly. It really felt like the limiting factor in my success as a cashier was my own skill, not the game mechanics.
Maybe the level design could have been fine-tuned a bit more - on Thursday and Friday it become impossible to satisfy most customers. Or maybe the difficulty was intentional.
Loooove the aesthetic! Sounds and graphics top notch. Actually laughed out loud at the "ow" sound. The lighting was a nice touch too. Controls a bit confusing.
Very impressive game, love the retro menu style and graphics. Field of vision in the mission is a bit small which makes aliens hard to kill before they kill you. Moving down seemed to also be bugged sometimes?
Very nice! Mood was set from the beginning and the music alone made it worth playing. I want to continue the story!
Really difficult to understand the mechanics, but very cool and on point with the theme! Like the sounds also
Very cool! The first ~5 puzzles were maybe unnecessarily simple, but I guess they were needed to introduce the mechanics. Also the next thing I would develop is rotating the cubes in some way that's easier than just pushing them in the right angle.
Awesome music, best I've heard so far. Solid game too. Just chilling and shooting some asteroids :) Only complaint I have is that I didn't really feel the loopiness, all it seemed to do is reset the timer.
It took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, maybe the player controllable object could have been more distinct visually from the collectables. It was also pretty hard to catch the containers.
Great idea and impressive execution without a game engine!
Looks very professional, just a bit more level design and this could be a game on the app store!
Fun idea with the platforms inside the wheel, though in practice the platforms weren't very viable to jump on and I just spend all my time on the bottom of the wheel. Maybe if the whole wheel would have been bigger? Jumping physics also was a bit bugged and I don't think you should be able to turn direction while in the air. Nevertheless it was fun to play!
Very cool and engaging game! Sound design is also spot on. I like that the rooms are randomized, makes it challenging but satisfying when you finally make it.
Very cool game, you managed to make it look good even with so few polygons. Just add some chill background music and I could have played it for a long time!
Cool game, haven't one like this before. A lot of content (although a bit repetitive), huge map. Being able to only pick up one item at a time makes it maybe more laborious than necessary. Mouse was really sensitive at least for me, view kept turning to the wrong direction which took a little bit out of the experience. Loved the references too, it was fun to find all the characters.
I managed to fall off the map :( https://i.imgur.com/xYPhndl.png
Cool idea! I like the simulation aspect with little people moving around. I think the controls might have been more intuitive if right key moved the drone to the right from its perspective, not map global right.
I was surprised how well moving in rhythm works, it really feels like a rhythm game! Love the art style, you have managed to build a strong mood with simple graphics.
Love the menu screen graphic <3
Very cool game! Simple idea but the audio and graphics make it engaging.
Yes! This is exactly the kind of game I hoped someone would make. The music was cool. Maybe would have wanted a drilling sound too. Only thing that bugged me was that I didn't understand what the "time reduced" blocks did. Was that a bad thing or a good thing to collect?
Nice DST clone, the other survivors were a nice addition! Really cute graphics, especially loved the bonfire animation and lighting. I would have wanted a "days survived" counter maybe. Also I never saw the ghosts, it was too dark to see anything when I died :(
Love the title screen & style, very evocative of nostalgic games. Map randomization was often unfair for one player!
Camera was somehow a bit disorienting when you moved the character from left to right. The tunnel in the beginning was cool, wish I could understand the voiceover!
Wow this looks and sounds great! Love the "meow meow" dialog sounds, very funny. Concept is also great. Gameplay was just too hard, papers came in too fast, I could barely read the old ones before another dropped on top. The checkboxes were also hard to hit, which didn't help my speed. I'd really like to play this through with a slighty slower pace, now it was just frustrating!
Great game! Difficulty was perfect, had to try the last levels a couple of times but finally figured it out. Wish there were more levels to play.
It didn't load :(
Cool, a point and clicker! Nice theme, I thought about conspiracy theories but couldn't think of a way to make it a game. The first two puzzles were nice, couldn't get past the third :( The bookcase and harpsichord flash when I try to turn the TV on but can't think of anything else to try. It was very funny that the guy is 2-dimensional, but he walks wayyyy too slow. The sound of footsteps gets old when it's constantly playing.
Exploration games are always fun! Turning could have been a bit faster, felt a little sticky. Finding fuel seemed a bit too rare or at least I was disappointed that I couldn't go further. I may have also broken the game on my second run, is fuel supposed to go under 0? Screenshot 2021-04-26 at 10.08.38.png
Also I got stuck in a station and couldn't move anymore, maybe because of the negative fuel
Yikes, dark theme! I ended up liking this game a lot. I'm a sucker for black and white pixel graphics. The progression with bigger monsters each levels was nice, and I liked the cutscenes between levels. Being able to choose different tactics was very nice too. Only weird I found was that the character was able to stick to the sides of the platforms.
This was a nice experience! Mood was perfect and the narration was well written.
Yess! This was a lot fun to play, I love deckbuilders. Good job on finishing such a long game. This is a great MVP to start building an even richer game on. More cards with more complicated mechanics, like card draw, combos etc. Animations and sound effects for the battles. Longer plot. Heck, I feel like building my own deckbuilder rpg now!
Funny concept! The map is very big. Controls were a big hard but I'm not used to this type of games. I liked that you could go under the trees.
I don't understand how to play :( Do you need to do something to collect resources or just wait? I tried 6 times and never got more than one plastic bag.
Where do I click to pick items up? The area around the spellbook is just black for me.
Disgusting! But great job on a well-rounded game, especially impressed with the waves.
Really cool game, interesting mechanic. Liked the lighting with flares. Only thing that bugged me a bit was the guy's movement seemed a bit sluggish.
Absolutely stunning! Beautiful graphics, perfectly eerie sounds, interesting gameplay (though a bit hard but so these things tend to be)
Full points, I linked this to my non-LD friends too!
Love to see the different takes on the theme, this was one of the most innovative ones I've seen! And the game mechanic is very creative, first I was like wth is happening but in the end it was surprisingly intuitive! Of course the teddy bear and pillow protect you!
Cool game! First it was hard to figure out what I had to do, I thought it was bugged because I kept getting game over no matter what I did. Then I read the help texts again and understood :) Maybe an animation of the house collapsing would help the played understand why you can't mine under your house.
It was fun to mine but the time was too short! Also I didn't figure out how to build the second house. The two objectives (collect gold, dig as deep as possible) seemed kinda unrelated.
Camera keeps tilting to the left which is pretty annoying. Otherwise very pretty game, good job!
Very hard! Also would have liked to be able to restart the game immediately after dying, without going to the menu. The start menu was a bit bugged for me, space didn't start the game without clicking something else (not sure what, rolled over the whole keyboard) first. Solid concept though and nice artwork!
Very cute graphics, loved the little breath cloud that the knight had. The mobs could have had some kind of dying animation, maybe the same kind of flash that the knight does when he takes damage. First I was confused why they just disappeared when I killed them. Maybe also something could change with deeper levels, darker surroundings and/or more mobs?
Awesome! I like the brave graphics, bright colors and shapes really gave it a unique feel. The little "i'm rooting for you" frog cracked me up. This is probably the longest I've spent playing a LD game, but I just had to get to the top! Would never have had the patience without the checkpoints though. Only
