The mechanic is very fun and feels super nice to play and the music and sound effects helps a lot with this ! Great game !
Really cool simple art style, the colors are especially good, the game is fun to play and i really appreciate how you used the theme. The game feels nice to play, and also it doesn't feel really repetitive because of the pseudo random level
The one thing that you'll need to be perfect is music : the sound effects are great, animations are great but some music would tie everything together and give a great atmosphere to the game.
Wow, impresive game, everything is perfect, too bad you couldn't add sound because it would have improved the mood tenfold
Just an incredible game to play : the quotes are non sense but kind of hilarious sometimes, the graphics are fabulous, the gameplay is so "smooth", the jetpack mechanic feels so nice to use both for killing ennemies and jumping. The game feels really polished with all these quotes and levels. This could very likely become a really good and addictive mobile game if released now with a few changes of course
A very nice, chill and beautiful game : the idea of taking photos of new fish to fill some sort of album is similar to pokemon snap, but it is implemented in a very unique and original way, with the fact that you go deeper and deeper in the ocean. Of course, the fish are beautiful and it's one of the main elements of the game, so of course taking photos of them and seeing the photos later is really satisfying. The only problem i have is that it is a little bit too short, and that you gain way too much money when taking photos of some fish.
But overall, the game remains incredible, you did a really great job
A really polished and good take on this classic game : I especially like the audio : the music contributed to create a very particular mood and the block breaking effect is really satisfying, it alone differenciates this game from the classic arkanoid it was inspired by.
You didn't put it into your ratings but the art and especially the background is really pretty and gives a unique atmosphere combined with the gameplay.
A pretty cute idle game, with a cool concept and nice graphics. The sound effects is also very well done. But what I especially liked was the possibility to go faster in time which i feel sould be a feature in the game ( the more advanced you are, the faster it goes ). Overall i really liked playing it !
The music is really well made, it's catchy and it fits with the game really well. I also really love the look of the asteroids and the fact that they're spinning make the world feel more dynamic. It also feels really nice to play, you worked hard on the controls and it shows ! Overall, really good entry !
An awesome idea, and a really nice execution led to me playing the game for an hour, it was too much fun ! Excellent work
I just could'nt stop playing it, it's so much fun to play, and retrying doesn't feel too frustrating. Great game !
Fun concept, fun title, fun humor, fun mechanics : this game was really nice to play. I especially liked the animations of the different ennemies, and also the mood that changes with the background color the more you go deeper. The idea is not the most original in the world but it is really well executed, nice to play, and your personnal touch on this idea is great.
Very good game ! The base mechanic is very simple, just shooting in sync with the music, but the feeling it gives is just incredible : it's so much fun to move around and to kill the enemies exactly in sync with the kick ! Really well executed. Also the graphics are really great and the inspiration from Exit the Gungeon is visible but very well used. Overall, this entry is impressive, rated 4.5 :D
Cute game ! Especially loved the voxel graphics !
I just want more, the whole game is incredible : the art is great, difficulty is really good, and it felt super nice to play.
Super fun idea ! I love the priority system you implemented, and the more you progress with more ants, the more satisfying it becomes ! Well done
Cool idea really like it
This game atmosphere is really special and the work you put in really shows. The use of the pictures to visualize the characters is a very good idea, and although simplistic, the graphics of this game are superb and contribute to the overall experience.
And of course the story is beautiful, and it will keep me thinking about it for a while.
Great gameplay and really well executed story, loved playing it !
The art of this game is really lovely. But what really stroke me was this innovative concept of using the rocket boost with the help of gravity to go to the objective ( this happens for example in the last level ). The concept of the black hole for going deeper and deeper is also a good idea. The only problem i have with this game is that it is too short, if there were more levels, it would be great, but it ended so quickly... Overall, it's a really cute and fun game !
An incredible game, it would be super fun to play it on mobile as well. I really like how you used the theme, climbing up to go deeper, really innovative. The art is also really cute. The platforming is really nice but it felt a bit too slow for me at the beggining, before i got the jumping upgrade ( but maybe it is intentional i don't know ). The music also fits the cute art really well and it contributes to the nice atmosphere there is in this game. Overall, really great job
The game is just completely incredible : if i were to play it without knowing it was for a gamejam, i would assume it was the work of several people for several months. The graphics are simply beautiful, the possibilities are endless, the music fits the game so well, and it's one of the only games that have some fun humor ( especially the french accent ^^ ). Also the fact that you can save your game with a png file and show it to other people is just incredible, one of the best games i've played in this jam
Super clean graphics ( really pretty by the way ), the AI worked really well especially when asked to do one task after the other, i had 0 bugs whean i was testing. The historical setting is good as well because it gives more depth to the game. The game would be even better if you had more time. But as a prototype, the work you did here has clearly a lot of potential
Never reached 27500 so i can't really rate the whole game, but i really liked what i played : the graphics are simple but that's not a problem, the acceleration is good and the controls can feel a bit slow when starting but I got used to it pretty quickly. It was a fun game
Thanks for all your feedback it's just amazing to see people like our game, it's pretty crazy ! About the difficulty, I understand your suggestions and they are completely valid if not even good solutions like checkpoints ( but I'm not sure we would had implemented them because they're in conflict with one of the core ideas of the game ). I'm really glad you liked the atmosphere and the graphics, and most importantly had fun and enjoyed playing !
@general thank you for your feedback and your video, it's really nice to see how people understand the game ! I should have made more clear that there was a Controls tab, with instructions on how to play ( for example you could have pressed F to shoot projectiles that can kill ennemies )
I really like how you used the theme, it's pretty creative and the pun is also pretty fun ^^ The gameplay is also and it's really nice to use the abilities and move
interestig mechanic, i find it really fun both to play and because of humor, thanks to a very cool coffee drinking animation. Nice job. One problem though is the music, it has some weird issues and it makes it hard to listen to, which is sad because it fits the game pretty well.
Excellent game ! I was supposed to play 5 minutes and kept playing 30. The game is incredibly addictive and the mechanics are really unique. The atmosphere and graphics are also incredible
The game concept and art is pretty good ( especially with the block in the levels ), also the fact that the game is infinite and has a save system is also pretty great, but the problem is probably that you did not had enough time : the controls are a bit bugged out, multiplying your speed if you go in two direction at the same time, and i also find them too slow ( but this is personnal ). Something else with the game is that the coins does not have a use ( or at least i didn't find one ) which makes their presence really strange, and this can confuse the player. Also, i said earlier that the fact that the game was infinite was a good point, but the level is always exactly the same, and so it can feel a bit repetitive. Maybe you should have done a limited number of levels but handcrafted and unique. Overall, the game has potential, the art style can certainly be used in really cool ways, but it does not use the good ideas you had well enough, especially with the levels : for example procedurally generating levels could have solved this issue, or just handcrafting them.
Really good game, i especially liked the scanner mechanic, that has lots of advantages but also disadvantages to the player, but the art, the voice acting, the music and the humor are all also excellent. Really polished game with a great interpretation of the theme ! The setting makes also the game feel alive and interesting
Amazing graphics, mood and setting. Also i really liked the fact that you have to go back in the level after reaching the end, it's pretty cool.
Very fun and very beautiful game, really had a good time playing it ! The sound design is also great and the different environments make the game feel alive and interesting
Really great playing experience, the combination of minecraft and minesweeper gave this title a very unique way to play and control. But one of the best things in this game was his dark atmosphere with the ambiant black fog for example. The only thing i disliked is that there is too few levels :D. The ending was also quite fun and unexpected
Stunning game : the art is magnificent, love the pixelated lights and demons, the gameplay is super simple but so addictive and fun, and the theme is really well used. Congratulations
Great game ^^ The pixel art very pretty, but what i most like with this game is it's gameplay : the inspiration from Crypt of the Necrodancer is clearly visible, but you explored the idea very well with the jam them. Overall a great entry, had fun playing it
The game is super cool, the art is great ( i find the cat really cute ), really wished there was more to it. Also i found some situations really fun, for example when you walk over the acid with books as boots. Overall, a short and cool experience
Pretty fun game, the upgrades add a lot to it because it feels good to finally have precise control over the rocket. The lack of sound does not help the mood of the game, but even without it, it has a pretty unique look because of the lighting and the pixel art style. Great job. Maybe you could add some sound effects to improve it
This game is very impressive, the pixel art is really good and shows you explicitely that you're deeper and deeper. But wow the really impressive part is the gameplay idea, it is so clever and it also fits the theme of the jam so well, great job on that. The only problem i have with the game is the total lack of audio, and it would have added so much, you could have highlited the different atmospheres inside each device. But overall, a impressive entry in only 48 hours
The 2D pixel art isometric style of your game looks pretty good and fits the gameplay pretty well because of your digging mechanic. Speaking of it, it is a little bit complicated to understand at first and i mostly chose randomly my next tile in the beginning, but then i started understanding more this innovative depth mechanic and it felt really nice to play.
If i have a suggestion, it would be to include an in-game tutorial on how to play the game, because it is a bit complicated to understand only by reading the text. So... great game
Love the graphics and the fact it is generated procedurally ! Pretty cool game
An awesome game : the gameplay idea and the level design are great, the atmosphere changing when going deeper is also a really good idea, and the audio fits the game really well. Overall, a really good game, congratulations
Very nice idler, i particularly like the idea of the robots. Sad thing is that there is no sound but i guess you ran out of time, but a great sound design could have improved a lot the mood of the game. A very fun game to play overall :D
The art is pretty good, and the main mechanic is really interesting and innovative, well done ! But i think you could have implemented sound effects and a bit longer level, but well, you maybe didn't have the time. Overall, a pretty cool concept, great job !
A really nice and cute game, it is short, but it is also a great platforming experience. I also really like the fact that the objects are almost all physics based and interactable which adds to the fun. The controls also feel really smooth and nice to play ( except when you're in water and you want to go on a box ).
But the mood is actually the best point, the background music combined with the level design and the cave background really gives the sensation of being inside an enormous cave. I also really like the ores in the ground as details, that's a nice idea.
Unexpected but your game idea was sooooo good ! The first level felt a bit weird, because you didn't need to do a lot of things to win, but I guess it was just to introduce the main mechanic to the player. The game felt so fun to play, I lost on some puzzles but at least with that level of simplicity it was very clear what went wrong with my terraforming. Also the levels were pretty nice and had a good design.
The game looks nice, the colors are good and clearly indicate heights ( I'll just note that it was a bit confusing at the start because brown and red are usually used to indicate high points on a map ). One minor problem of this game is the lack of sounds, just a little sound effect for the wheels rotating, or a win sound of some sort could have made this game even better.
In conclusion, excellent entry !
Discovered your game through twitter, and boy it was a great finding : the gameplay of your game is really fun and has a lot of depth to it, I litterally spent an hour just playing your game because well, it was fun.
The graphics and music are amazing, they make the game feel so polished, I'm astonished you manage to do such great looking and fun games in this short amount of time. Awesome entry overall !
Really cool game, the graphics and colors are really great ( which is weird because the background is litterally a bunch of random colored pixels ). One of the most complete game regarding sound design I tested yet : the cracks in the ground are a nice touch, and the voice of the little thingie are very cute
An absolute blast of a game ! The gameplay feels super nice and addictive, you really want to try again everytime you die to try get a better score. It also has a lot of depth to it : these simple mechanics can really be combined together in impressive and creative ways. I could totally pay for a full version of this game.
The music is excellent, the sound effects too, really fits the pace and action of the game. The pixel art graphics and the lights help create a really particular atmosphere that I really liked.
Altough the take on the theme is not the most original one ( an infinite scrolling game ), it certainly uses it extra well, and with a lot of polish put into it.
Overall, you did an excellent job ! Great game !
Funny humour, silly concept but it really works ! Also the undertale inspired gameplay is very pleasing to play
Great entry, you really did nice work on this game ! I think it would be more clear for the devs if I just make a list of what I thought works, and what doesn't, so :
The things I liked : - The plot and humor - Satisfying feeling of augmenting tremendoulsy your ship lifespan - The controls, it fits perfectly for me the general theme you set for this game, it's like controlling a drunk dude - Music and SFX
Things I didn't like : - The background, I think modifying it so it fits the art style of the game would be a nice thing to do - It's a little unclear what elements do what, for example, I have no idea what the thing ressembling the suedish flag did - The elements all do the same thing, adding more effects to the differente pickups and differentiating them would really help making them feel unique
Overall a good game !
The controls feel a bit weird, but despite that I think your game idea is really great ! Also loved the art and sounds, the atmosphere they create is really nice. Great entry !
Pretty solid entry ! I especially liked the music and gameplay, the difficulty curve is also nice, and the controls feel better and better the more you unlock upgrades.
I first had a big laugh when I saw that someone else than us made something in this jam with sheeps, so that's already a plus. The game is cool, although I think more feedback on the meteor delay would be nice to tell the player how he is doing. Also I don't know if it's a bug but I managed to grab multiple sheeps at once, so it made the evacuation quite easier. Anyways, nice entry !
You did an excellent job on the atmosphere and look of the game : it looks really good, especially with the lights, the sound design is great and the ambient music perfectly fits the game.
The controls feel great, but I found the levels unclear and too difficult, maybe adjusting the size of some platforms and giving the player a clearer way to go would be nice. Overall, nice game !
A pretty cool game with cool movement that fits the fact that we're in space. The pixel art graphics look great and the style is consistent so that's cool, the sound effects are good too.
The gameplay, though it is a great idea on paper, feels a bit slow, you have to wait for the enemies to spawn and they only spawn in one part of the ship. Maybe diversifying spawn points and indicating to the player where the enemies are could help, and also speed up their spawn rate.
Overall a great game that just needs a bit more polish gameplaywise
Really geat game ! The art is just amazing ( the Celeste inspired characters vignette look particularly great ), and the atmosphere too, it really fits this vibe of late summer night. The musics really help building that feeling too. The story elements and easter eggs around the map were great, and it is a very interesting take on the theme, the last time seeing his close friends before adulthood. Also the gameplay is fun and the movement satisfying.
Overall, a beautiful experience.
I laughed so hard when reading the descriptive of your game it deserves 5 on humour. Nice humour
Wow, i was really not expecting that level of quality for the first game I test in this jam ! Everything is well made : you made a splendid use of the theme with this russian roulette remix, the setting is really original ( a prison in Mars in a kind of weird reality show where people die to the odds ). The graphics are really nice, fits the game perfectly. The music is nice too, but I feel it could have included a bit more tension. But the best quality of your game is its humor : it is a hilarious game, the name of the actions, the gameplay itself ( doubling and tripling the odds always feels satisfying ), and also the reason the prisonners were sentenced to death. Great entry !
Great level design ! The way you used the theme was also very clever, and it allowed for some challenging rooms, where you have to speedrun but at the same time take as less damage as you can. A really good game !
Wow, what a fun game to play it was ! The gameplay is sooo cool and polished, I really could see me playing this kind of game on my phone, it feels like a finished short game : the music is great, sound effects too, the minimalistic graphics just look awesome for this type of game ( I also liked the blurry gradient background, that's a nice touch ). The main gameplay is similar to other games but different enough for you to enjoy and discover it.
The only slight issue I saw with the game was that the way you used the theme was not very original, making an "infinite" kind of game where you inevitably die. It is a great idea for sure, but when playing other games, these gameplay tropes start to feel a bit predictible.
But this issue is not really related to the quality of your game, which I said was incredible. Excellent job
