I like the idea of your game but couldn't quite figure it out. Went to sleep and talked to people awake and asleep but didn't learn any words. I think I got stuck in the room to the left, but that could have been user error. Fun graphic style.
Curious, just tried to play and nothing is happening -- just a grey screen. I followed the webGL link. One error in the console if I try to fullscreen otherwise nothing. ^ Seems other people can play just fine though. Using Chrome fwiw.
Really out of the box concept, I dig the creativity! The screen got super shaky for ~5 seconds once, is that an event that was triggered or ?? something going awry-- I wasn't sure. Fun game and neat take on the jam's theme. Well done.
Wish I could play, a webGL version would be awesome next time if possible! - mac user
@rongefilet I'm sorry I touched a nerve, I didn't mean to. I honestly like playing everyone's Jam entries and webGL is the easiest way I've seen to allow the largest subset of players to play. Again, sorry I offended, it wasn't intentional.
Enjoyed the game and your take on Deeper and Deeper. Was hoping for some risk to my character or some of my plans to go awry.
Would play if there was a webGL build. I'm on a mac.
Neat text based game. I played while my daughter (10yrs) was watching and she was amazed that there is such a thing as a game without graphics. It was a fun experience once we got the hang of the available verbs.
Unable to reach the page you have linked as the itch.io game page. Are you sure its the right on? If you let me know it's up I'll be happy to come back and try your game.
I came back to play. Wow this game is neat! I wish I had a controller for my computer because using WSAD and Arrows together was a challenge--but that is on me, not you. I liked the jumping mechanic, the difference between min and max jump was a perfect balance.
Suggestions I have for you: 1)Set the background music to loop so that it doesn't end after a certain amount of time. (At least it did end in the browser version) 2)It was very challenging for me to stay on the moving rocks using WSAD and Arrows. Perhaps once on them the player should move along with them? -- I understand the way it works may be by design, however, as I do know there are games that use this mechanic. It was just hard for me.
Overall really fun game. I like the highscore feature too, that increases replay-ability for sure. I haven't beat you yet!
You really made the most of using a single input. It was fun experimenting with the click versus click and hold. Fun art and engaging sfx. Enjoyed the game, but got stuck pretty early on. I goofed ;)
Enjoyed the game, once I got the hang of switching pipes quickly and rotating them it was really fun. I ran out of water pretty quickly each time. Would have enjoyed more starting funds or a little more rime when water runs low before it becomes critical and empty. Great game.
Enjoyed the game, great concept. I like how far you can zoom in. It's the little things.
Would have loved to play, but I'm on a mac. Please consider a WebGL version if possible with future games. Looks fun though.
Would love to play your game if there is a mac or webGL build in the future please let me know.
I like the setting of your game and your creative take on the Deeper and Deeper theme. It is a well crafted narrative that I enjoyed from beginning to end. Satisfying to see the constellation appear.
The story told in this game is very compelling. You did a great job making me care about the characters involved. I really enjoyed the simple but effective lighting and the little particle effect of the torch. Well done.
I think you're limiting your playability--thus feedback by not having a webGL version. I would greatly enjoy trying your game but as a mac user (and no mac build) I cannot. The game looks interesting though!
This game is really well polished for a jam. I had fun with it! Would be cool to have a shield to activate on cooldown to save from collision. Great work on this game. The webGL version took a little while to load but worth the wait.
Enjoyed the music and the art style. My wife and I had fun taking turns on this.
The art style totally made me think of a nostril and the wiggling finger tip was great. My daughters got a kick out of this one. I think the one thing I'd like to see would be some sort of score/counter like -- you grabbed X boogies or you went X cm deep, etc. Great game, it was fun.
This game as a nice feel to it, promoted by the graphics and sound. It was a relaxing experience and fun too. I like the suggestion about possibly coloring the arrows as suggested above ^. Well done.
Fun idea. I enjoyed the music. Would have liked a little more randomness or change throughout the experience but I made silly poems which was cool.
Fun game, I couldn't seem to get past level 1. I kept getting the nearly worthless grey rocks and never was able to purchase the pickaxe beyond 20$. I liked the animation and the intro scene.
My wife and I thought your game looks and sounds fun! We are on a mac, however. Perhaps consider a webGL build if you're able next Jam. Welcome to the JAM--this is my first time too :)
@ec2151 great feedback, I'll be sure to do that in the future.
@hcs-hades I've got that feedback a few times now. I'll be sure to distinguish the player character better next time. Time allowing the character would look like the intro character. Thanks for playing
@zebshee you're totally right the hitbox is too large. Thanks for playing!
@owen-kidd thank you for bringing this to my attention. the doorway was broken and in stead of taking you through to the next dream it was not -- but the incrementing of the dream level was still occurring. So while the player could not get to level 2, it was allowing them to get above the max number of levels. Whoops! I fixed the bug so the door is working as it was intended to.
@gustavo-christino thank you for playing my game! I just read the analysis you wrote up (thanks for doing that! -- best feedback I've had!) and now I'll watch your game play experience.
@collin-visser Thank you for playing Johnny Dreams Bad and leaving valuable feedback. In each "dream" there is a door you want to find to continue deeper into Johnny's dream. Only by finding this door before a wraith touches you can you escape the nightmare. On each level there is a small text hint at the bottom of the screen, the first is 1500 -- which is a too difficult clock clue, 1500 is 3 o'clock meaning the door is to the right of the player initially.
Thanks again for playing!
^ Same problem, will come back and try it if you let us know it's been uploaded.
Still unable to play due to the link.
Played the mac version, it is working. This game made me laugh --which is always a plus. This game is like no other I've seen or played during LD48, so congrats on the uniqueness and creativity. Not sure how the ratings are calculated, didn't seem to do better with a lower voices or a goofy high one. Really fun to goof around with though.
First of all the art style and the sfx are on point. Really enjoy them both. The two layer of gameplay are neat--but challenging. Each time I focused on driving I couldn't manage to grab items, but if I focused on items I plowed into a car. Overall really great entry, this is a neat game.
Played this with my wife. It was a blast, very creative. Nice sounds too.
The music was nice for the setting. The other sounds were pleasing to the ear, I liked the feedback each time I collected something of value. Only wish was for a score display at the end of the round. Well done, fun game.
Tried heading to your itch.io page, the link is broken still. If I see it gets published will be happy to give it a go!
So creative, I never could have thought of this. Well done there. Full marks on game play and the project altogether. I think some small noise when proteins were collected would have been nice. Love the upgrade / replay-ability.
Would be happy to play a macOS or even better, a WebGL build. As a mac user I can't use the options available. Game sounds neat, though.
Would have played but I'm on a mac. Consider a webGL build next time if you're able. The game looks fun, though.
The mac build worked for me (mojave). Really enjoyed the office ambience. The game was simple but challenging. Makes me want to get back to that desk job..
Dude this was harrrrd. There must be some way to get the guy into the needle without it getting me but I couldnt grok it. I think if the needle was slightly faster than the baddie but not as fast of me it would have been balanced better. Great jam entry--enjoyed the audio and the jumping and movement controls felt nice.
Enjoyed this game, I wish I could restart the desktop game without restarting the entire game if I hadn't let the button timer elapse. I made it into the top 10, briefly!
I love the fast pace, and springy jumps. The particles that follow the player are beautiful to look at.
This is such a neat concept. Well done with this one!
Great looking game. I really made the most of this pokey tool: Screen Shot 2022-10-13 at 5.17.40 PM.png
Fun jam entry, good work. Would have liked 1 more game per coworker just for variation.
@actuallythemoon thanks for the feedback regarding the exit button, I thought I had fixed that issue. :/ Glad you found it oddly compelling :smiley:
@mvasko2 I appreciate you playing my game! Thanks for the feedback, I think making the gamepad work for all actions would be a great improvement.
@quinn-patrick @pegasys The special items (steak, coffee, carrot) should always have 3 (more in later rounds) of each type within a 50 unit circle around the player, but I hadn't confirmed that was working 100% of the time so you may have discovered a bug. Thanks so much for the feedback.
@div00 Great feedback, glad you liked the color palette. In the future I'll always include webGL because it really allows the game to be played more frequently and that's what it's all about--getting that feedback. Thanks for your insights.
@cdmaniac Thanks for the feeback! It makes me happy to hear I created something someone would describe as "furiously addictive". The spawners are supposed to move with the player -- but if you noticed that not happening it means there is room for improvement in that area.
@corporation thanks for playing my simple game, I'm glad you found it enjoyable!
@resacagames I've discovered a bug in the code generating the special items, as pointed out by you and others. It'll be fixed post jam. Thanks for playing the game--that's a pretty solid score!
@xcarl Thanks for saying so, I've been trying to put more effort into audio. Thanks for playing my game!
@fribolin thanks for playing my little game! I agree 100% and have fixed for post jam version :)
@Solah This is the first time I've been recommended obstacles, I may have to explore that thought a bit. I'm not sure what maluses is but I'll google it! I appreciate your insights.
@vykri watched the video, really awesome to see someone play the game and get feedback. Thanks for playing!
Fun experience. At the end the final elevator left me on the ground and idk why. :/ Good work though, great jam entry.
Fun game, I found myself stuck at level 5. It seemed most efficient to get a herd of sheep moving then bounce them into the pin area. Really quite enjoyable.
I enjoyed your game, I liked the mechanics and that it wasn't too punishing. I would have played more levels which means the experience was enjoyable!
Such a cute little game, I love the concept and great work for jam entry. This would be a fun game to see expanded.

I had difficulty looking around easily even with sensitivity a minimum but I really enjoyed the voice acting, and the dry humor. Great work
Got stuck in bamboo but luckily the floor changes every 10 seconds! I enjoyed your game, a great take on "Every 10 Seconds"
Played this a handful of times with my four year old, we both had a blast! Great jam submission.
Enjoyed the setting and music but got lost and it was too hard herding the sheep.
