Amazing game, I really liked the story, mood and graphics. The story was a nice interpretation of the theme. The controls with the remote are a really nice idea! I like that you narrated the story, but it was a bit slow for me, so after a while I turned the audio off and just read everything. I hope you really will make a chapter 2 :)
What a fun game! It's really hard, I kept going back the way I came. If the theme was 'higher and higher', I would have set a record! After over 10 minutes, I gave up since I think I was nowhere near the end. I had a lot of fun though, the music is really nice and I like the bounce system!
The game you made is fun to play, and has charming art :). The earthquake really came out of nowhere and startled me, what I liked! It was maybe a bit to much screenshake though.
An improvement I would suggest is starting the player a bit further from the top, sometimes he wouldn't respond immediately, and I would be dead before I could move.
The mood in this game is really good! The game reminds me of Don't Starve. I like the concept of finding logs to stay alive at night, but didn't notice any difficulty increase, so after 6 days I got a bit bored. I could only find one other survivor, but lost sight of them when it started to get dark. The next day, she was dead, which was a nice touch, although I wanted to find others to work together with.
This is an really impressive game for such a short amount of time! I love the relaxed mood, the music really helps with that. Sending out the ships to discover more of the map is really fun. There is a lot going on in this game, and not everything was clear to me. I tried attacking the satellites/enemies that were circling some planets by pressing the number keys, but nothing ever happend. Also, the meaning of all the numbers you see when you click the planet were not completely clear to me.
I think you could really build on this idea, and make bigger project out of it! Amazing job overall!:)
The graphics and music in your game are really nice! I played trough it twice, one time trying to avoid the fish and one time hitting them. I didn't really notice any consequence for hitting fish, other than the hit effect (which I liked) and the number at the end of the game going up. I would have liked there to be some effect on the game itself, like adding damage to the ship.
The advantage to having no negative effects, is that it's a really relaxed game, especially with the music!
I enjoyed this game! It takes a bit of practice, but I think its quite addictive because I keep wanting to retry to get better (I get a bit further each time).
I like the graphics in this game, and the card mechanic. You found a clever way to interpret the theme, very creative.
As for improvements, I agree with what goodwinek said, and don't really have any to add beyond that!
This was a lot of fun! After the initial confusion, I really got sucked into the story and enjoyed reading all the conversations, finding little nuggets of the story. I think this game has potential to be something bigger!
the game is stuck loading.. I had the same problem when I was testing my build, the solution in this link worked for me: https://itch.io/t/919456/game-not-loading
I love this take on the theme, very funny! The controls were very difficult for me, which doesn't have to be a bad thing (games are allowed to be challenging :) ) but in combination with the long time you have to wait to restart after you die, it became quite frustrating because I kept dying at the first bone.
I really enjoyed this text adventure! It took me a few minutes to figure out the commands (I thought I had taken the rope when I used 'x rope', and had to come back for it later), but after that is was all very clear. Nice take on the theme and a funny story, well done!
I like the idea of a diagonal game, really original! However, I just had a lot of trouble getting used to the controls because of it, but it's something you just have to take some time to get used to. Fun game, good job!
The art and audio in this game are very good! I like the choices you had to make, although it wasn't completely clear to me at first what the game wanted me to do, but I figured it out eventually. Like some others, I didn't understand the combat system, so I just kept selecting random combinations, which worked most of the times. Some text to go with the buttons could be a good addition, to make it all clearer!
I had fun playing this game, going in circles to try to see what is behind the mud. The bugs were really cute! I liked the song at the end, but maybe you should play it before you finish the game? Now it is like the after the credits scene of a Marvel movie, a lot of people miss it because the already left (or closed/stopped playing the game in this case)
I like the idea of this game, but was a bit confused while playing it. After a while I understood a bit better what I was doing, but it was still very hard to win. The graphics are really nice, they help set the mood!
The music, graphics and mood are amazing! I feel like it's more of a experience than a game, but that might have been your goal here. I did get really emerged in it, great job!
It took me some time to figure out I had to press enter to start the game instead of just clicking on it. This sort of game is difficult for me, but I couldn't really figure out how to use the vacuum on the monsters, it didn't seem to do anything. I like that you can switch between weapons, it makes the game more dynamic and you can use different strategies to defeat the monsters!
I really like the music in this game. The movement is really smooth, and the game is fun to play! Good job on having the levels gradually increasing in difficulty, although I couldn't get past the red level (which has more to do with my skills than your game). I might come back later and try again :)
The music in this game is great! I like the concept of placing the platforms as you jump, although I kept running out of them quicker than I could collect new ones, I wish they would spawn a bit more often, certainly at the start when you're getting used to this mechanic. I also didn't know if a platform would still be there when I fell back down a bit, so I agree with the others about a timer :) Anyway, I enjoyed this game, so good job!
I like this funny take on the theme! The audio and graphics give it a really gross feel, which is great! That finger is endless!
I had fun for a while playing this game, I liked discovering the big level. The car was a bit tricky to drive at times, it would get stuck to the wall, and sometimes wouldn't go up. I also think some sort of feedback (audio or visual) when you lose health would have made the game clearer, now it took me a while to discover the green stones did damage.
I like the art, its really cute! The world is quite big, I went a long way to the right first, only to discover the treasure is right at the start! It took me a couple of tries, but I got it! Good work :)
I love the atmosphere of this game, great visuals and audio! When I first started the game and defeated the mob closest to you, the gun kept overheating, even if I wasn't using it for a while. After I restarted the game, it didn't happen again. I enjoyed exploring space and fighting the monsters, even though they were very difficult to hit when moving because they are so small! Great job!
Really hard game! I've restarted around five times, but never manage to catch fuel. I either float around until i'm out of fuel, or crash into a planet.
What a great game! I love the voice, it really adds on to the feeling of working for a big corporation, and it reminded me a bit of portal. The tutorial/start of the game was also really well done, I love how smoothly it passes over into the game. The art style is really pretty too!
@bw-devel Thank you for your feedback! I like the suggestions you made. I did consider randomizing the spawnspots more, but I thought you would probably lose the game if you just stay in one spot (if you collect nothing you lose, if you stay in 1 row you will probably collect way to many weights -since they have a bigger chance of spawning -and lose), and also I ran out of time :)
@vegmuffin Thanks for playing my game :). I only thought of adding a indicator of how far you had left to go after I finished my submission.
@gaminghamster Thanks for trying my game! I agree the fall might have been a bit shorter, I wanted to give a feeling of a fall that lasts forever, but might have gone a bit to far with it.. All the items spawn randomly, and the cloud has the least change of all to spawn. In my tests I've only gotten a few each round, but maybe I should have added some sort of cool-down timer to the clouds so they can't spawn to close together, to avoid experiences like yours!
Cool game, I love the creepy eyes! I would suggest making a visual effect when you teleport, indicating where on the screen you are now. Sometimes there were a lot of glasses visible at the same time, and I had trouble finding my character again.
Nice mood in this game, the music really adds to it. I like your take on the theme. The controls felt really floaty, it really suited the game. I went insane, but I guess sanity is overrated anyway!
Super fun game! Even though it has enemies, it's quite relaxing. I made it through the first two levels for now, might come back later to finish it!
I like the variety of enemies in your game, and the fact that some of them even transform over time. The controls were a bit to floaty for my taste, and you either had to wait a long time to shoot, or could easily beat the levels by spamming space. Maybe you could have added a feature to 'level up' your hiccups and get them more often each time. Some sort of timer to see how much time you had left until the next one would also be nice :). Despite that, I did enjoy your game!
You did a good job on the level design in this, they were challenging but not too much :). I actually think the character design is kinda cute, especially on the enemies. I love the dash feature!
Such an awesome game! I love the song and trying on all the different hats. The crabs look really cute whatever they wear :). Adding a separate tutorial area was a nice touch, great work!
This game is really hard! I can't seem to get past the first level, the enemies keep kicking me out of the box at the last second. I like the jokes at the start of the game!
Good work! The game is really smooth and fun. At one point the conveyor belt got clogged up by bread, which added some extra difficulty.
I like the character design in your game! It's a shame didn't have the time to implement health for the player, as that would have really upped the stakes of the game. After the two big bosses nothing spawned anymore, I don't know if it's a bug or I finished the game :)
I like the concept of this game of having to manage both your own health and that of your Cryptomons. Sadly I couldn't figure out how to attend to my Cryptomons needs, how do you select what you want to do with it? The square was around the apple, so I guess I just fed it a lot :). I tried all the controls in the help menu, but nothing seemed to move the selection.
It's a simple idea, but it's fun! The graphics look great, I especially love the flare effect! The movement would overshoot a bit for me, making it difficult at times to get exactly behind the cactus. But that might have been intentional to add some challenge :)
Good entry! The story at the beginning and the quick levels are really fun. I found aiming your shots very difficult, with no feedback of where they would go. Eventually I got stuck at the dragon level, I've got no idea how to beat it.
When I downloaded your game I was wondering what the connection to the theme would be, it became clear to me very quickly :). The graphics are amazing! The 'hold it in' mechanic is a fun one. Great work!
The music and graphics in this are great! It really took me a while sometimes to find all the objects. Having to move the camera around is a nice touch!
I love the art you made for this game! The atmosphere is amazing. I got stuck after a while, but I might give it another try later.
I love the animations and the creepy changes every time. It took me a long time to figure out what to do, even with your added screenshots. The left leg of the player might be a bit to similar in color to the wall, you can barely see it at times.
Such a polished entry! I love the sounds, art and story of the game. The puzzles are fun, though could be a bit more challenging. I liked when you could smash the walls as a big burger :).
I like the black humor in this :). The tutorial was fun, I really appreciate the effort you put in that! It was a bit difficult at times to see what pizza I was making, and some music would have been nice, but other than that, it's one my favorite entries I've come across yet!
It does what it says in the name, it's a relaxing game! I agree with the others, it starts a bit slow, but after a while it picks up. The music is really nice.
What a great entry! The game is really funny and the characters look amazing! I got 7 matches, the achievement images for the wraith and the nightmare are my favorites :).
I love the graphics and sounds in your game! It's a fun and funny game, I like how you can bump into the stuff in your house and break it (or make the cats meow). It took me a while to figure out why I would suddenly be game over sometimes, I didn't see the banned keys prompts at first as I was so busy memorizing the new movement keys :)
It took me a few rounds to understand what I had to do, but once I did it was a fun game. I wish could pick up drinks quicker, sometimes I thought I picked up 3 but I only had 2 for instance. At one point I got stuck because I couldn't fill an order even thought I had the right drink on me (1 wine for table 5). I like the orders popping up all over the screen, giving you an overwhelmed feeling!
The cutest entry I came across yet! The birds are really beautifully drawn, I just wish I had more time to look at them :). Solid entry!
Such a fun game! Both the audio and graphics are really nice. It took me a while to get the hang of where to stand to water the plants, and I wish there was a separate button to put your tools down (I kept putting down the bucket when I wasn't in the right spot to water the plant)
Really fun game! The music and graphics really work well with each other. I like that you both made rules that make the game harder and easier. I couldn't get used to the inverted controls and died every time they came up :)
It took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, but once I did, I really like the idea! Getting the second puzzle done in time took me forever, I kept taking to long because I struggled so much with the movement (kept overshooting). After that it got a bit easier for a while. Good entry!
I really enjoyed this game! Having such a short amount of time for each puzzle every time makes them a lot more challenging than they would normally be. At first I had trouble following the story because of the quick switches, but that might have been your intention. The graphics are really nice, as is the story (at least, the last part of it I could really pay attention too :) )
Really fun idea with the theme! I like having to switch it up every 10 seconds, and the portal inspiration. The voice-over was a nice touch. In the first puzzle, the buttons seemed to be a bit unresponsive and I had to try again a few times to get past that. They also didn't turn green for me as they do in the video/screenshots.
Good job on your first game-jam entry! I enjoyed this game. Does it have an ending? I just about emptied the world (except for the stuff that respawns) and it seems the game just keeps going.
It's a fun idea, but I have to agree with the others that 10 seconds is a bit too long in this case. Originally I thought I would have to find an item added to the room, and use the camera rotation to find that item. I think in that case 10 seconds would be a good amount of time to do so. You did put a lot of detail in the room, so I used the extra time to look around a bit! It looks really nice, good job overall!
This is really cool! I love the sound for the runes. I really liked figuring out what runes would sound out what spell, but I didn't get much time for that because in the mean time I was getting attacked. Maybe this would work better in some sort of turn based game? Or I was just playing it wrong. But all in all great game and awesome idea, good work :)
I had fun reading all the signs! I also love the way the game looks. I thought I had to defeat the monster, but in the end I won without it (after losing in various ways :') ) Good job!
This is so cute! I also like that there is no failing, it makes it a very relaxing game! It's fun to play, and i liked that the dog automaticly locks on to the next group of sheep. I kept turning the dog in the wrong direction though haha. This is the best use of the theme i've seen so far!
Really cool idea, mixing snake with tower defence! I had fun playing, though the enemies didn't feel very threatening most of the time. The voice acting was great!
The graphics and audio are amazing! The game feels very immersive, and the shooting feels very nice. I think something like a reloading system would be nice, so there is more tension when killing the enemies and you can't just spam bullets. I also really liked having to wait for the pickup after reaching the tower, instead of just ending the game.
I like the humor in the game! It took me a while before I knew what I was supposed to do, and I wish there was some UI indication about who is who, because now I could keep attacking demons who were already dead. But the explosive attack was very fun to watch!
It looks really polished! The sounddesign is very satisfying. I just wish there was a bit of a tutorial, because I had no idea what I was doing most of the time, even trying to retrace my steps to see how I solved a puzzle. But you made alot of puzzles in this very short time!
Really cool idea, and amazing graphics! For some reason both mouse buttons would only send dots, so I couldn't really play it past the first message.
Your game reminds me of tower defence games, I used to really like those! It kept me entertained for a while. My only real 'improvement' would be to pause the game while you're in the build menu, I never really had the time to read what everything did at first, because I had to close it again because I was being attacked.
The eldritch horror got me! I got a key and thought I was done haha. The managing of recources is fun, and the art looks great! I only wish the time inbetween turns would be a bit shorter, so you can move quicker.
Short but sweet! I really liked this game, the static effect when you leave the signal range is very cool! The game wasn't very hard, but you still made the puzzles more complicated as the levels progressed. Well done!
I loved the atmosphere, story, art and sounddesign! The decoding mechanic could maybe give a bit more feedback for when you're close to the sweet spot.
It's impressive how you made the sentences keep making sense, even after removing multiple words. The game looks great, and I enjoyed playing.
@p1x3lc0w Thanks for your feedback! Originally I wanted to make the enemies jump out of the walls when you would shine your light on them, and use some pathfinding to make them a bit 'smarter' while chasing you. So I agree with you they could be improved! I just didn't have the time to implement all that :')
@tolviere Thanks so much for your kind words! I doubt you will be the only one who doesn't see the beacons as the goal. Do you have any advise in making it more obvious you need to collect them?
Luckily your game seems to work now! I had a hard time aiming at the enemies, because you shoot in the direction you're facing and control that with the arrow keys. It would also feel more natural to shoot with the mouse instead of ctrl button. I liked the charge up of the enemy atack, it gives you the change to get out of the way! It's kinda slow paced because of that, but I like that!
I kept being pulled back to the first orb when I tried to move to another one, so I didn't make it very far xD. But I liked the vibe of the game!
Pretty trippy vibe with the graphics and music. I liked the rhythm aspect, and playing with the light. The bug kept bugging me though.
This is really amazing for being made in just 48h! Both the art and sounds are great, and the game plays very smoothly!
I had fun playing this, the level design is very good in how you keep introducing new challenges without any big jumps in difficulty. I like that you have to use the scanner instead of just matching the colour. The green guys that turn purple kept tripping me up!
I think this would make a fun minigame in a larger game! The first round was mostly me figuring out how to dots and stripes (i thought lmb would do one and space the other) but after that everything went very smoothly. The audio was great.
The animation looks fun and I like the art! The gameplay is a bit unclear to me sadly, I got stuck at the second phase.
It's a fun game, I enjoyed collecting the money and upgrading my drone. I didn't see the use in having more than one drone, and as many of the others wished the buttons would stay in the same spot so you can move faster. I did beat it in the end, good job!
The art looks great! I love how you get closer to the lighthouse each time. The game is fun to play too. Great job!
Very good for your first LD entry! I like the idea that your signal creates platforms to stand on. I did have some difficulty with the aiming, since both the movement and aiming use the same keys. Maybe it would feel smoother if you could aim with the mouse. The second level is already pretty challenging. The starting animation was a nice addition :). Great work!
Great take on the theme! The decoding is really satisfying to do! The game is a bit long though, so at some point it gets a bit repetative. The graphics fit the game and the sounddesign is very well done!
The game looks fun, but I can't interact with anything. The cursor is stuck on the '+' button (even after restarting), even though the reticle is moving. Knipsel.PNG I hope you can fix it, I would love to try your game!
Thanks for the explanation! I tried the enter button, but that didn't seem to work the first time. But now I got to play! I like the look of this game, and using the hand to actually interact with the buttons is fun. I didn't know what to do when the warning started popping up, but eventually I made it to the end.
The gamemechanics are fun, and it fit the theme much better than I thought at first reading the description! I like the funky graphics and animations. The race could be a bit faster, but that might run into the balancing issues like you said. Maybe you could look into making the money add up a bit faster after a win once the numbers get bigger. I got 3 million on day 3 and had to wait over half a minute before it was done :P. After that I just bet 1 dollar on the best horses and got told to touch grass.
I was devoured by spiders.. Its a fun game, it seems you had the same general idea with the theme I did! The spiders look great :)
Amazing take on the theme! You build great atmosphere, and the gamemechanic is fun. The graphics look great. I wish I knew what was going on in the story though haha, but it did give some sense of urgencey while trying to get the next signal!
