Very well made had a lot of fun :-). Just didnt feel like keeping the party alive that much.
Really nice and fresh idea.
Really relaxing and a nice mood. A bit hard I would say usually I loose after around 35 seconds. Gnerally a bit boring to be honest, but maybe Im just the wrong target for a game like this. But very impressing for a solo project.
Nice looks and controlls but I dont really see a game here to be honest. Also did it not really hit the theme I would say.
I was just confused and also feelt a bit fooled XD.
@splitpainter I felt a bit fooled because I expected some kind of interaction or choise and then It endet with the sentence game ending 1 of 1. ^^ But I guess you just did not have the time for more.
Really good, the only thing is that I dont really understand what Im doing that for. I get money ok but then? What is the money for, also you cant really loose its a bit too easy.
I really like clicker games and you made a nice job. I just got stuck at some point and had no idea why, so I quit. The game doesnt give enough feedback what is actually happening.
Tried to play it but couldnt find the download at the given link.
Ok tried it now. A bit crasy, a lot of room for improvement, but I really enjoy the main mechanic. Good job.
Very nice looking. But I got the feeling, that my interactions dont really add much to what is happening. The heroes just keep attacking with or without me.
Sorry but I had no idea what to do. But I like the general idea, could be cool for mobile.
Well done, but just not my type of game to be honest.:-)
well what to say ^^. Its very funny, but the thing that bothered me the most was, that sometimes it wouldnt recognize that I actually hit. Also I didnt get the feeling of having the chance to win or at least being good.
Really nice game concept. I also like, that the weapon is also your Life. But I dont see a reason fight actually. If you just run away the enemies will not catch you and you dont need to waste your energie. I would like to know if you can actually win the game or is it just a endless highscore?
The grafics are very nice, but I think you guys tried too much and didnt polish enough. A simpler but more polishes version would have turned out better. Also I got to a point with only one cultist left and the enemies were just running around not knowing what to do so I was stuck.
@splitpainter If you want to know the tools as well: We used Google docs to work together on a brainstorming right at the start. Then we visualized the idea with an online whiteboard to make the vision clear for everyone.board.JPG And then we used Git to bring our work together.
@duke Thank you very much for your detailed and honest feedback, we appreciate it a lot :-)
Just wow. First I will give extra points because it is made in Unreal ^^ The look is very good but even beside that I love that the gameplay is really easy from the get go, even without the instructions. Very very good work. Love it. Cant believe this is made in 3 Days.
Simply nice. Dont really know what more to say^^ really good idea.
The mood is very nice. But its a bit hard to understand what you are supposed to do and why you should do anything and not just stay at the start and fight monsters. And when you jump down nothing happens ^^
I like the speed and controlls of the game. Im not sure if its a bug or not, but it always happen to me, that Im fighting and from out of nothing it say that the old man died. But Im sure there were no enemies around him.
I think for kids this would be nice. But for an adult its a bit boring and way to easy. I also think you should add an overall sound its a bit strange to have complete silence and some sound from time to time. Also dont really see the theme. I dont really keep himalive I would say.
Defnitly fun but just to unfinished. Ok the missing visuals are obvious. But also the player feedback. I didnt really understand who to fight against and also did I hit? Did I miss? What is going on?
Also super hard to win actually.
Liked it just missed a bit of long term motivation.
This is just amazing. Cant believe this is made in 3 days. Very nice job.
Very good idea to the theme, but the timing is not good I dont have enough time to do anything. And it defnitly needs more player feedback. Did the posion hit the Lord did my fireball make damage etc. Most of the time I had no idea what is going on.
Generaly I like it, but I dont see any efford using the theme. Its like making a basic shooter and saying its keep it alive because the player is suppost do survive. So in regards to the theme its really uncreative.
@james-joubert Ah ok I didnt understand that part. Felt like killing him at the first stage. I thought I had to first lead him to the trap to damage him and then lead him to this fence to kill him. Next stage I thought its a new enemy.
Oh wow just saw, that you made this alone. Very impressive. Grafic is one of the best I have seen at this jam btw. :-) well done.
The graphic and the mood is quite nice, but I didnt really understand the purpose of just bringing wood to the fire. How can I win? What am I doing that for.
Really like the wolf and the general admosphere. Its just not very inovative I would say the gameplay is quite usual for a 2d puzzle game. But thats ok a lor off people enjoy that, just for me it was to basic. Would like to see something new maybe something that includes the overall look and the mood into the gameplay mechanic.
I like the general idea. But I think there is not enough happening. I walk for quite a long time without anything happening and I just die after a while and I dont have the feeling I can really do anything about it. But as a one person project realy nice :-)
The look of the game is nice, but I had no idea how to play the game even with instructions. Before I could figure out anything I just got kicked back to the main menu ^^.
Makes fun :-) would be nice if the speed would increase over time and if you could actually loose ^^. But well done. Also cant really see the theme. Where do I keep anything alive here?
Hit the theme. Just a bit too hard, I could make it threw the first night. there was not enough time to collect stuff to actually build something, so a bat appeared and I couldnt defend myself.
nice one :-)
<3
Really good. Bonus points for unreal :-) Love it <3 The only thing I would complain about is, that it is probably a bit hard.
Could not test it that much since Im sitting here at home alone right now ^^ But its a really solid piece of work, well done Some explanation of the controles would have been nice.
very nice :-)
:-(
Amazing simple but fun, also love the graphics :-) Some contolles explanation would be nice. At the start I had no idea what to do. I tried space bar to kill the enemies all the time.
Really nice, love it
Love the robot hit :-)
really nice :-)
Like the idea
Was a bit hard to understand what to do first and I also did not understand why I lost. But the overall idea and the graphics are nice. Well done
Nice art style :-)
Good job I was really amazed by the game mechanic. Really nice idea.
A lot of work you guys did here, really amazing. Grafics and effects are very nice. Only complain are the controlls I always got stuck at the walls.
I got stuck with the mirror XD Really good interpretation of the theme. Also cant really believe, that you did all the graphics in this short time, well done I really liked it Best game I have played so far.
Very nice entry Next time I suggest you do a little less and polish a bit more :-) 1) It was very laggy on my end. 2) I did not understand how to escape or defead enemies 3) I cant see the theme (could you probably explain it to me, I really would like to know :-)) All and all you managed a lot in this short amount of time, well done
@jack-mcpherson thanks for the explanation :-)
Nice graphics, but I did not understand how to play that game at all.^^ I clicked right and left and spacebar, but nothing happened. It just says I run out of time, but I had now clue why sorry.
I did not understand how to get to the exit sorry :-/
Very funny well done :-)
Unbenannt.JPG Try to beat that :-)
@evileptic @rolly We were thinking a long time about the theme and decided to do not the obvious thing. We interpreted the theme in a way that we say: The fire wizard has a magic loop around him and as soon as you come close to fire it gets stuck in the magic loop and becomes stronger over time.
@skleembof Thanks for your feedback. Yes we made all of the 3d assets in the jam. I just used a few shaders I made a while ago. Our first idea was to have all of the elements: Fire, Air, Earth and Water and different enemy types. But we said lets start as small as possible and just used fire and the ice trolls and it turned out as a good idea. We did not have the time for anyting else^^
I dont understand how to download the game
really cute little game :-)
Nice graphics, I also had problems with the attack controlls. Can you probably explane how you interpreted the theme? Sorry I cant really find it^^ But all in all very nice.
@nuckelavee13 Thanks for the explanation :-)
really liked it super cool artwork I would have loved to see more gameplay was a bit short But well we only had 3 days so good job:-)
Ok you run with shift, now I understand how to play that game XD
Im sorry did I miss something. I did not understand what just happened ^^
very nice good job was really cool and funny :-D
:-(
The game had a nice atmosphere, but it feels like there is something missing.
Can you give some explanation of the game. I did not understand what to do. Im just getting minus score.
The camera moves down automaticly all the time. Is that on purpose? It is too hard :-( But it has a solit game loop so well done :-)
Good game thanks :-)
<3
Was fun to play :-) Really good job I just figuerd out, that nothing stops you from clicking left and right permanent and just run around ^^ And I always give bonus points if a game is done in Ue4 :-)
Very nice sound and atmosphere. But is there actually a way to win the game?
Simple, cute and fun. It was better to think of something simple and finish/polish it Good job.
Rellay nice Artworks :-) Ah and now I understood the idea with the skulls. Nice hint.
I liked it
:-(
I think Im to stupid for that game :-D I had no idea how do solve anything.
Was fun to play :-)
:-)
Why cant I vote for graphics arent the assets from you?
Pretty cool. Just a bit too blurry I would say and the character is not fitting the style of the environment. Overal solid entry. ;-)
Not really a game, but the visuals are nice and atmospheric. There is defnitly some more game mechanic nesessary. I really would like to know if it is possible to finish it. I endest up on this long (endless?) path. After a while I decided to turn around to see if there is something behind me. After turning the screen just went blue and I couldnt find the way anymore.
Overall I like games like this its simple and relaxing. I just had the feeling of not getting rewarted enough. Also at some point I just digged threw the end and fell down into the big blue nothing at that was it ^^
I like the 3 dimentional feeling. Its just a bit small overall. :-)
love it really, solid. Not really much bad feedback to give here. Maybe one thing. I think its a bit anoying to click the dwarfs person by person. A selection of multible dwarfs would be nice. :-) I really enjoy it. Also the end was really cool.
very nice :-)
nice graphics but a bit buggy. I had to restard the game 3 times. Also I did not understand to collect the crystals at the start. Then I had now idea how to continue in the elevator.
I dont get it :-D, but thats ok I enjoyed mya time
nice graphics, I always look for 3d games here. So thats a plus already :-) Other than that nice interface just the controlls are a bit hard to manage.
I really like the graphics. There is probably just a hint missing. I was just walking around random and had to clue were to go or why. But other than that it feels really finished and polished. Good job :-)
well done :-) I like it
This is exactly the type of game I really enjoy, really awesome. I was just really sad that you let it end WHY?? :-( I want to keep continue :-(. If you deside to continue it please let me know!
perfect for kids, very well done. A bit too easy but I think for kids its ok
Very nice and cute game, love it. I hope we do a gamejam together again next time :-)
Not my type of game, but well done :-)
Not sure how to win the game, but very funny idea XD
very moody. Just way to dark at some points. I had a hard time to find the way. Also any kind of gameplay mechanic exept of walking would have bin nice. :-)
really funny idea and a big plus for the theme idea. :-) just a bit too hard. Also there was no indicator when to exactly push the button.
Very nice atmosphere and I loved the voiceover. very good job Thanks
super cute and relaxing, good job :-)
Cool idea to use different bugs for different purpose, but I could not create the bride, the insects are just falling down. I tried for like 15 min, but could not make it. How does it work?
Very nice, specially for only two people. I like the vibe I did not quite understand how I eat to get weapons and life. The graphics make it a bit hard sometimes to understand my surrounding. But all in all solid prototype.:-)
First of all bonus stars for using Unreal :) I really like these kind of wave hord games and the swarm is very cool. But I could not managr to get past wave 1 could you explain a bit more how to play the game? (how to win)
Very cute, I liked it a lot thanks :-)
great job, very cute, I liked it a lot thanks :-)
oh, sorry no
@master-yeet You are right Plague Tale was part of our inspiration :-)

good job, nice little game, I enjoyed it, thanks :-)
I enjoyed this game very much, its such a simple but very nice idea. love it. Thanks for creating this. IT was just a bit too much text to read for me, but the gameplay was very great.
very cool and atmospheric good job thanks
Looks very nice, good job, Was fun to play performance for not a problem for me.
haha we prety much did the reverse game. Good job, love it
Bonus stars for Unreal ;-) I love games with the mechanic of building companions. Only two things I was missing is a response for taking damage and attacking while moving Over all good work Thanks :-)
interessting idea, but it it possible to win? I did not manage to do so? :-)
Can be pretty adictive to beat your score, I like it. I just had the feeling that it is a bit unfair that the obstacle just appear out of nothing sometimes.
interessting idea, good job thanks
Not really a game, but a nice idea, like it thanks
I am not sure if I finished the game or not, after the red screen the game closed itself. But in general it has a good atmosphere and nice sounds. good job.
good job :-) Thanks
nice idea, keep up the work. :-) thanks
cool :-)
Ver very nice and cute. Amazing Art skills, good job love it
cool idea, but the movement is very tricky ;-) thanks
great job, very funny, I liked it a lot thanks :-)
I could not get past the main menu screen :-/ clicking did not do anything
Oh nevermind
Interessting idea, I like that it is very simple and easy to understand. Could be nice as a mobile game for example. Good job Thank you
Did not work for me, not sure if I am doing anything wrong, but I cant click any buttons in the main menu :-/ But it looks cute, I was disapointed I could not test it :-)
Cool graphics also catches the theme, solid work, thanks :-)
Very nicely done, congrats
good job!
Cant see any link!
Hello, nice game. Can you explain, how I get Iron. It seems like I need to get Deeper for Iron, But I cant get lower then 200 and to use the elevator I need Iron :-/
Introduction is awesome and the game also looks very nice, goof job :-)
Very cool, it was nice to play :)
Very cool :)
Very nice, reminds me of Slay the Spire (which I love), good job, thanks for the hard work :-)
Very cool and awesome interpretation of the theme, very good job :-)
@mezaka You have to press the build button on the botom of the screen. Then place it somewhere valid with left click :-)
Not following the theme as said in the description, but still nice :-) I enjoyed playing it
I made it to the end, good job, Impressive that you completed a full gameplay loop all by yourself. keep up the work :-)
Great job, good game :-)
Very good game, I love cardgames, good job :-)
Looks prety amazing, but I could not figure out what I need to do ^^
Nice work in the environment :-)
I love these kind of games, very nice, thanks :-)
Cool graphics, very moody, like it :-)
Very cool idea, simple but fun, good job, I really enjoyed it, thanks :-)
Very nice and and very good mood, I really liked your interpretation of Signal, good job
Very nice, had a lot of fun testing it, thanks :-)
