I liked the game, though I felt that by going together it was more dangerous for the orphans to get caught. Maybe I didn't grok all there was to this game - the menu screen was a bit confusing (but I did see all the useful info ;)). I adore the music and I love the Oliver-Twist-kinda setting. Good job.
I like that you made the theme into a mechanic, yet it says: "It's dangerous to go alone" not impossible ;)
Good work!
Thanks everyone for voting AND thanks to all of you who took the time to comment this. Entity made #6 Community (together with Clone Wolf) and #10 in Graphics.
I see now that the gameplay was indeed hard to understand and that I should've eased the player into the game. On the other hand - as JosephKnight.com pointed out - figuring it out was part of the game - but I suppose the timespan before loosing was too short.
I'm currently busy with my master thesis, but as soon as it's done, I'd like to polish this: with a proper tutorial and a proper length this can be what it intended to be in the first place: A game "commentary".
Thanks again - if you want to keep in touch: @leafthief (twitter)
It was a good read. Again nice meta aspects in there. Fitting the theme nicely!
Very solid entry. It was both fun and a challenge. Good job :)
I played this on a Nexus 7 and I have to tell you: I enjoyed this immensely. I love the simple touch controls and how effective you're putting them to work.
It's minimalistic yet very good game design and you have totally nailed the combination of color, shapes and audio.
There is one small thing I have to criticize: I would've appreciated if there was more feedback for beating a pattern - the thing that annoyed me most (but not much really ;)) about beating a pattern was that the music would stop.
Amazing and engaging!
Oh man, disregard my previous comment. I was too stupid to realize that you had to fill it up two times - there is proper feedback for winning. Haha. My bad I guess.
I could totally see you making money off of this.
I had lots of fun playing your game. It has so many levels! Amazing work! And very well balanced!
The graphics were good and movement worked. It really suffers from the lack of goal. I as player didn't have a motivation.
So pretty solid art and code!
I loved the car-flipping animation. Solid Highscore-driven game.
Huh. What just happened there?
Oddly enough I liked the music.
I didn't read the instructions and started playing. I picked the concept up fairly quickly. I like the execution and dig that there's a highscore system.
Well executed!
I stayed with it all the way to the end. I enjoyed both parts.
The pendulum was somehow off and I have the feeling that had you adapted the background colors, that part would have greater effect.
Now that I sat it through to the end (I didn't interact in the second part) I really liked it. Especially the stark contrast.
Good experience.
The game has a great color palette and I like the neon-look of it. Also i kept wondering about the dot inside the player-character.
It becomes pretty hard to stay alive. Early after the first enemies show up I can't handle them anymore, making it hard to play for a longer period of time.
Still, good job!
I tried to answer as honestly as possible. The cool thing about it is that I wouldn't ask myself those questions but reading but being confronted with them in such a way I do think about them.
It was an interesting experience.
I get the feeling that it suffices to put "horror" into the title and the player into a dark room. I know for sure I did the rest. It wasn't so much the ambient effects (bats, rocking chair) that scared me but the silence and knowing there might be something.
I jumped when it was too late. Only saw red ^^.
The candle was a very neat idea
Played on Webplayer. I smirked.
I have a hard time figuring out how parts move - but it makes the game all the more fun.
Good job!
There are huge differences in terms of quality when comparing screens. Nonetheles simple but fun fishing. Well balanced too!
The light rays made for a great atmosphere and the music fit very well. I liked it.
No rainwalkers here either. Kept looking for them but nothing. What a beautiful city and atmosphere.
Tight mechanics and great overall execution. It's engaging and fun to play. You did a great job!
@namuol: I used Adventure Game Studio (www.bigbluecup.com)
So very good. Thanks for making this game!
I played the webplayer version. Is it so small because it's optimized for rift? Because if that isn't the case it's all the more great.
The miniature viewport works so well with the audio. The beautiful flageolet sounds guiding my way through the maze.
And the "goal" color was so good.
I have really really enjoyed this. Thanks :)
@PierreC I agree more interaction would've been nice. But time got in the way (as usual) :/. Thanks for playing though :)
@Schrodinger Games: Unfortunately Adventure Game Studio has no such thing as a Web Export.
However, as I've heard it is possible to start Adventure Game Studio Builds using 'Wine' (for Linus).
Hope this helps.
@Vicotry Garden: It sounds to me that you think I wrote the Kill Screen Mag Article when in fact I didn't. I just thought the game page was a good place to put a link to that article.
I have now removed the link to avoid confusions.
Thanks for your opinion and feedback.
@tv15 I am very sorry but the middleware (Adventure Game Stuio) I made this in doesn't support Mac builds. However: there is a way to play AGS games on MAC using the runtime/Engine that can be found here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=45708.0
This COULD work but I can't guarantee it, sorry.
@Carduus: You could try and run winsetup.exe to run the game windowed. I hope this hels!
A very very solid entry. I like what you did here and enjoyed playing it.
I liked the style. It had something of a mandala :). Good job!
What a fun game! I was blown away by the fact that every planet had it's own version of the main track. The visuals were nice and fitting and the game had a great difficulty curve.
One of the best uses of Audio so far!
Although very simple, it was fun to play!
What the damn did I just play?! This is so SOMETHING ELSE (in a good way). It has a very strong idea/fact at it's center and everything around it reinforced and reinforced that idea.
I found the artwork gross (in a good way!?) and weird - the music supports that soo well and the dialogs in this semi-ascii speak with smileys REALLY reinforce the idea, the weirdness of it.
I adore your entry. It is somewhat disturbing and I'm personally not a big fan of the ending but up to that point, wow!
Played it on a Nexus 7(2012) and it worked grat. Good job on the game, it's simple and easy to understand yetfun to play for a while. After some time it gets a bit boring but that's okay considering you did this in such a short amount of time. Well done!
One more thing: although you may think the font looks good it's really hard to tell one's current score. My advice: stick with sth simpler that's more easy to read :)
Good game! I had a hell of a ride, at first it looked like I was winning easily but then somehow the enemy turned it around?!
I then was in danger of losing but spammed footmen (60) and archers and was able to fight them back. Thinking my defending army is now strong enough I made the advance... only to be smashed by the enemy's troops yet again.
Then I summoned the (800) creature. I have no idea what it does but it died horrible at the hands of a mob consisting of enemy farmers.
In short: I had fun with this :D
I love the art style. This is gorgeous - I really mean it. It was so lighthearted. And that tiny font. I thought it was really beautiful. Also good score.
It often seemed rather random to me what to do?
I still liked it tho!
Very well made! The controls felt really good. I thought the ghost world could've used more polish.
Good use of audio as well. All in all very solid!
Very well done! I enjoyed the character's small stories and how they connected in the end.
Ends perfectly rounded in a well-chosen song. Superb! :D
Well done, worked great on my Nexus 7 (2012).
Playing it I first expected the other planets to have more momentum of their own, but I got the handling fairly soon. :)
The visuals are good but damn the game was really hard. I also enjoyed the music. Good job.
Three days away from India, the hearty, swift, coordinated crew of the Betty, Katie and Fry met their demise by the hands of aliens.
Great humor and funny game, good job!
Hey there. The game was very basic but well playable. The music was really good especially at setting the two worlds apart.
I think there are a few things you could address to easily improve the experience:
1) Squash & stretch in your animation as well as keeping the direction the sprite is facing.
2) It's not the best strategy to mock the player when he fails. Think of some other form of feedback.
3) It's hard to tell when it's safe to switch and when not. It'd also be helpful if you had some sort of visual information as to how long the switch will last.
Other than that: you made a game, it works. That's quite an achievement right there! Good job :)
Great gameplay! I think the connection through the controls works really great. And it's challenging!
Really great work for 48h!
I liked this. Had good art. You probably know this yourself but I liked the right side so much more. It was stylistically (creature silhouettes) and gameplay-wise more interesting (and rapid fire felt so much better :)). So great job on the theme - because the two worlds were so tonally different and connected in a way that made sense. Good job!
The visuals work great and I really liked the input feedback. Well rounded experience!
The 3d graphics were really good but I found the icons somewhat confusing.
However, the mechanics were good and it takes some thought to get it right. Short but good.
Also it reminded me of genetics ^^.
Great graphics and nicely implemented gameplay. Also very well readable.
But I encountered the same problem as some other commenters: after finishing the sequence nothing happened anymore :/
I really liked the snowflake particles. The puzzles were really good.
I kept thinking that it would be great if the snowman only regenerates on snow.
Other than that, congratulations on finishing. Nice game.
Good graphics and gameplay. Became rather hard very quickly!
Made it to Level 6. I have to say i played it on a laptop with a touchpad which might've made it much harder.
However: I found myself really drawn into this strange universe. It was partly because of the few sentences in the description. I loved the phrase "our mutual hearts." It set a tone for the whole game that really helped create a fantastic mood. It was subtle but I imagined populations inside the centerpieces. Millions of hearts sitting there hoping to survive, that nothing goes wrong in the Linking process.
The gameplay was simple but fun and challenging and the music was good. I especially liked the SFX when connecting two nodes.
My feedback or points where I think you could improve:
1) I think it's of utmost importance that you bring some of the setting/sentences in the description in there. I think you could really create a great experience overall if you were able to fuse a subtle story with your gameplay.
Maybe you could draw some inspiration from 'These Robotic Hearts of Mine (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/585599)
2) Difficulty/Length: Considering that the difficulty ramps up quite quickly I think you could make each of the levels longer, which could also give more of a feeling of accomplishment.
That's all I can think of at the moment. Very well done!
This was just beautiful. Artful execution of all aspects and fun gameplay.
First congratulations on finishing your first LD :). Good job. You managed to make something playable in 48h which is in and of itself impressive. My feedback regarding controls:
It was hard for me to estimate what my attacks would do (therefore use them effectively). Sometimes it would thrust enemies up in the air, sometimes they seemed completely unimpressed by my attacks.
Good looking and well sounding game.
Often I didn't notice the correlation of getting hit and losing hp.
I think you did a great job staging the story and was genuinely happy that one of the protagonists didn't arrive at a grave in the end.
Since you had quite a big team I'd like to say stuff about every part of the game:
Although the character artwork (in the dialogs) didn't fit too well with the rest of the game, I liked how you were able to depict different kinds of emotions with it.
I think you could improve the walk cycles of your characters. Increasing the fidelity could help the platforming and gameplay feel immensely.
The platforming parts were rough and like many others I would've loved checkpoints in the levels. However, the text presentation + dialogs were technically well made!
The story/writing started out as somehow bland but I think you really pulled it around after the introduction. It felt very much like JRPG dialogs/charcters.
The music: while there were some hiccups in presentation (it sounded quite grainy and stuttered sometimes) the musical choices were good!
All in all - I liked what you did in this entry! The critique/suggestions are merely my opinions on how you could further improve the game. For the time you had this is already a huge achievement. Good job!
I agree with most commenters here: really well done art and good audio. Definitely solid presentation.
But the lack of content renders it rather short and in general the narrative reminds me too much of other games such as Appy 1000mg by deepnight.
The game presents itself as a platformer (gorgeously executed no doubt!) but there minimal platforming going on - which is probably a good thing since it's clearly narrative-focused.
I by no means want to diminish your accomplishment, it is a very very beautiful and well-sounding entry and I was especially delighted by the vanishing letters when text appeared.
Too bad I really would've liked to try it out.
There doesn't seem to be a link!
Wow that was so great!
I absolutely loved the setup and presentation. The audio was probably the best part.
The intro sequences are just gorgeous.
Honestly, I didn't make it through the restaurant. I tried but ended up getting divorced. This might be one of the very VERY few things I'd love to see improved: difficulty.
Great entry!
Hahahaha, awesome!
Well done to set yourself goals. I think you did a great job at fulfilling your goals! The gameplay was good. If you're looking to improve game feel my advice would be to improve and elaborate on player animations.
Same goes for bosses, who could e.g. have another attack.
But still, impressive for 48hours and even more so because you were able to finish all your personal goals!
I'm curious what you'll come up with in the future :)
I liked the first level very much. I thought the game was hard, however the audio seemed to be out of place. While it worked perfectly in the first level (together with the visuals and gameplay) it very much diminished the experience in the later levels.
Also it was hard for me to find how the theme factored into the game as a whole?
Still though, a functional and well-rounded game!
I had a hard time finding the combinations. Still a nice experience! Good job!
I liked the sounds and the animation of the character. However even given that there are only two levels I had no clue what to do and when I was doing something right?!
This is definitely getting somewhere but IMO you need to work on telling the player what she is supposed to do.
Keep it up!
Played this on a Nexus 7 (2012) and it worked long enough to get an impression. It crashed after spamming the keys for too long though :-\
I loved the menu music, which I thought was a good twist to scifi. it set a nice tone.
However I thought the actual game didn't reach the overall quality of the menu.
Hope to see more from you in the future :)
Well polished, great puzzle design. Really liked it a lot!
I liked the little hair animation and I think the avatar sprite is well done - you could even go further in terms of animation. I think this would help the overall feel immensely.
The mechanics worked fine but I thought the game was getting too difficult too fast, but considering you did this in such a short time it's completely understandable.
Good job :)
I chuckled =).
You did such a great job! To me, this was one of the best and most effective uses of the theme. I got such a great feel for the boy and the girl by just their movements and what was going on in their imaginary world.
It was perfect that there wasn't much of a gameplay system behind it. Yes, I could fight and dig etc. (in my imagination) but that's what pretend-play is all about!
Yes, it needed music and sound effects and overall polish but I think what's there is really good.
If you're planning to work on this further feel free to contact me. Maybe I can help you with something (@leafthief)?
A good concept well executed. I liked it!
Well, for a first entry I'd say it is okay. You can definitely see it as a learning experience.
For good platformer controls there are obviously a lot of examples, starting with Mario games but also Braid. I think one tends to underestimate the amount of work that goes into controls that just feel good.
The animations are okay (the stances are well readable) and with a little more polish the graphics could turn out good.
Don't give up! :)
Solid entry with great audio. I especially liked the little sound right after you slow down time.
However, I'm missing a connection to the theme.
I thought the level transitions were made nicely, but thought that the audio transition could've been handled more gracefully.
But that's nitpicking ;) good job.
I thought the game was okay. Good first entry and worked well on Nexus 7(2012).
As ppinted out already there are some Areas you could improve gameplay-wise. E.g. I noticed collision detection didn't work as eected at platforms.
Also on my device the red buttons and the actual controls weren't in the same place, but I can see how that's always a problem with Android ;-)
Good job finishing and let's see more of you ij the future!
Worked well on Nexus 7(2012). Liked the humour but found it rather clumsy to control. Somehow the contraption I built actually took off. Made it all the better to see the gorgeous success screen stating 'it's a miracle'. Made me smile :-)
Well... the graphics are good.
But unfortunately there is no gameplay.
Also regarding controls: I think that putting the Jump key on [SHIFT] isn't the best idea since Windows will trigger 'Sticky Keys' if [SHIFT] is pressed repeatedly.
Wow very well executed and presented. The little story going on there on the signs had me smile.
I think the mechanocs work well for mobile devices and it was fun every time especially because of the changing music.. So cool I wish there was more :-)
Really good audio. I thought the game was hard, but the level design had some nice touches!
It's really hard, but also really rewarding. This game is so well made. Congrats and thanks for this!
Funky audio and great graphics. No seriously. The graphics are phenomenal :D
Thank you for the game. I had fun playing for a good ten minutes!
While I enjoyed the game on mechanics-level it felt weird to me that I'd make one family rich and the other family poor. I think there could've been more of a statement made there.
Still works well though!
Really good gameplay. I enjoyed it very much! Had great risk/reward balancing and felt fair overall.
This is soo good and works really well! Great great job!
Great job. I thought it was well written and I always knew what to do. Sometimes the perspective of the rooms/corridors looked a bit... creative, but that didn't diminish the overall experience/mood of the piece. Really nice work for 48h!
Had a laugh with this. Thank you :D
The controls felt a bit wonky but all in all it worked well and there are quite a few levels. Excellent job.
Wow I found this incredibly hard O-o. I died so much and then the game was reset :/
It looked and sounded juicy and good. Very nice job!
<3 <3 <3 that sleep animation <3
They can finally take revenge on Pacman! Yes!
Looked really good. Impresssive how you managed to model, rig and animate all the characters! Good job!
Worked really well, I wanted to keep going. Also I don't know if you built it that way but I had the feeling that red and big trees differed from the other trees. They weren't just harder they really became my rivals. At first I wanted to chop them really bad but later on I realized that I started to avoid them.
Thanks for this :)
It IS cute **u**
Very good job on the music this time! Really impressive.
It might be short but it's sweet and to have her comment on herself throughout the game was just a perfect little touch!
Very moody and loved the stomp. Went all the way to the right but couldn't find the ending. Is there one?
Had fun batting puny humans around >:D
Wow I had a lot of fun with this. The sound effects were SO GOOD :')
Graphics were creepy good but I couldn't manage to stay alive for very long.
Nice game fun to play. Good job!
Glorious art and the sound effects had me laughing. I loved the MONSTROUS drill instructor.
The siren scene was adorable :D
The farmers shot me although I wasn't in their field of view. Made me stop at level 5 :(
Still a neat stealth game!
Very well done. I would've loved some background music. BUT: It was REALLY well done. A platformer with a nice twist and interpretation of the theme :)
Well done. Good and moody entry and SO MUCH content. Really impressive for 72h!
Good little puzzle stealth game. Would've loved if it had music and sfx.
Good Audio design. The graphics and gameplay worked well! Good job!
Just wow
hehe Wilhelmscream. This was incredibly fun to play!
The more I destroyed the more they built. A nice simulation.
The killing sequence and being that person afterwards surprised me (in a creepy way)! Full marks for theme here!
Colossal work for 72h! Very well done! I absolutely loved the CEO animations and the waiting room after a promotion. So good!
Thank you for making this. I'm living in Austria and like in many other European countries we are also incapable of dealing with the situation in a human way.
Here, too, there's racism founded on the arguments that they use in your game.
Here, too, the refugees have to hope for someone to show them a kindness.
Here, too, there are so many monsters.
I will share this and spread the word about it. I'd have this play everyone, especially those blind to the topics addressed by your game.
My monster Fline was THE monster. Cool that you had time to implement AI. Good job!
Sometimes I got stuck on the walls and they got me but other than that a solid stealth game with a naked fish monster ^^
I loved every bit of it. Real good choice in music, you just can't see the thing without it but it is soo superb.
The game felt touching, as if I could relate so very much. It was really unexpected. A great interpretation of the them. Good art. Played well.
I guess you can tell that I fell head over heels for this game.
Thank you for this!
The music was SO good :) and I really liked the title and continue artworks - they were gorgeous.
It felt a bit like you couldn't finish the game as you planned to, the game part suggests that there should've been more.
What I found was absolutely adorable was how you implemented the healthbar with my bodyparts flying across the map whenever I lost "health".
Good job :)
Had a hard time playing as by moving the mouse I catapulted myself into the big wide void.
The voiceovers were so good!
As for the platformer parts - they're solid. I'm generally not good at them so I wouldn't blame the controls ^^
While the graphics were readable I strongly felt that the game deserved better graphics.
Good job!
I'm not too sure about the theme of this game :/
Good art. Staged and put together well. A thing about the audio: I'm guessing you used mp3 and made the track start again before it ended?
If you have a looping audio file use .ogg, it doesn't produce a gap as .mp3 does. It was a bit disturbing to have the loop break over and over again.
The art was good and I genuinely felt bad although it was the only thing I could do (?) killing these people off one by one (getting my family back to me?)
Looked nice but I felt that the sprites were a bit too detailed for the speed of the game - I know that sounds weird :/
Still good work overall!
I really like the commentary (or "message" if you will) here. A nice take on what it means to be a monster and the conflict that comes with it.
Good job!
Very short. Naughty pony. Much Sfx. Kick people in the face. Fun :)
I feel horrible. Good job!
A nice combination of graphics and music. A bit short but a complete loop. Good job!
There were a few things I'd love to see improved:
Sounds: I really liked the BG music - SO: I'm drunk and on a motorcycle - why can't I hear it?
Controls: You could add to the feeling of drunkenness by making the controls even laggier?
Wheelie: Something about the wheely-ing looked off. Looks like it rotated around the center and didn't have the pivot in the rear wheel.
Again congrats on finishing for the jam!
Good idea, we played the game together and also got stuck in the castle. The intro artworks are really great!
You had me laughing throughout the game and I absolutely loved loved LOVED the music!
Perfect!
(your art was hilarious :))
I had fun but found it quite hard. His fear just dropped too fast for me.
It has poop. I laughed :)
I liked making people explode the most. My score was: 235 IDK if that is a lot?
Good job!
I couldn't find out how to "convert" enemies?
It was well done but I didn't get my objective until I read the description.
Really good. I had fun with this! Impressive for a first LD!
We played it together in front of the TV and had quite a laugh. Good job!
Sounds like a fun idea. If you ever play it for real please make a video and put a link here. I'm sure it would make it easier for people to get a feel for how the game will play out and to rate and comment on it!
-780
A very well made game. Tough choices.
The score was really good and silky smooth jazz - who doesn't love that. So the music alone blew me away. Of course a score like that combined with the good pixel art sets a nice mood.
I think that the game (mine too btw.) suffers a little from interactions without feedback but overall really good entry!
Hehe nice idea making it a game show. I'd have loved to see more :/
It's just perfect. Well done guys!
It always felt very close and a bit too slow but also very rewarding. I had good fun with this so thanks :)
It's simply great. I love it!
Great mood and audio. I liked that the soundtrack kept changing. A nice and somber experience.
it was very hard to control the game. when i had to push an enemy out on the right side, i completely lost track of the left side because the camera moved.
i did not really understand the power mechanics but i had fun nonetheless! :)
853m yeah. At first it was frustrating but later on I had the feeling I got the hang of it and started developing strategies. Nice stuff!
An error occured running the Unity content on this page. See your browser's JavaScript console for more info. The error was:
uncaught exception: unknown compression method
both unityweb and webgl failed for me in all browsers
We were surprised by how much fun we had with this! Good stuff!
Just amazing. Incredible amount of polish. Good job! Also I love how you implemented mechanics and set up the puzzles to support them.
Good chicken!
Good game. The intro was very well structured and funny but it wasn't until I played the game until I understood how it worked. The mechanics work super good!
Pretty good game and great work on the graphic side. Obviously the characters are great but I liked the background-style even more!
haha. that was fun. i did not expect the aliens :D
great litttle game!
Lovely. I enjoyed that soundtrack so much. This made today just a bit happier for me! Thanks for that.
It's hella fun to FLY around to Wagner's Walkürenritt. The controls were simple but worked well, I smiled at the visual jokes you put up here and there. What I found very intriguing in terms of level desing was the candy bar next to the fridge, it really made me weigh my options.
Awesome job :two_hearts:
@randdir I'm using [Adventure Game Studio](https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/) as an engine. It has very handy tools for making sprites move and talk.
@kiwii you can give the photo to Gertie, unlocking a new option to talk about.
@cleeem That's fantastic. Thank you! Can I have your OK to publish it?
Felt like I was playing a synthwave album cover :thumbsup: Movement was definitely a bit of a challenge at times.
I loved the moment the music changed. It started out as such a cute thing and then took such a dark turn :O Really good job on the music. The graphics were _just right_! Really good job
Good stuff! Elegantly designed idle game that wasn't punishing so I could enjoy it. Well done!
I liked the narrator's texts. For sure the funniest (and most humorous) entry I've seen thus far. What's the deal with the queen? She's like everywhere O_O
Quite an interesting mechanic... it definitely got me thinking and RE-thinking my approach. There were a couple of stages of realization: 1) Drawing does not make the ball go automatically 2) I can draw below the ball 3) Whenever I release, the ball is released - I might have to work with momentum 4) The flowers stay in place (=i can build something)
I feel like there's an interesting mix of strategic thinking and (performance) skill involved in the game. I like it1 Thing is, right now, I think it's too hard. A couple of easier and shorter levels would've benefited the game and really get players into it quicker. Right now it feels like a vertical slice and has quite the steep learning curve.
Fantastic and very effective job. Such a great interpretation of the theme. I was surprised how the stories came to life based on the (random) word combination in the verses. Once I realized that the audience grew, that really was a big motivation boost for my aspiring bard. :notes:
Once I figured out what each individual element wanted me to do it was quite fun to aim for as high a score as possible. I served the amazing number of **2** (in words "two") burritos! Everything was well made, I just felt that the UI / font choice could've gotten more love as it didn't feel on par with the rest of the game. Good stuff!
I enjoyed the closeups when *going in for the smooch* :kiss:
I enjoyed how used the gameplay to tell the story. The limited palette was smart move and I felt it was overall well executed. Congratulations!
I felt really bad for the bunny whenever they had to work! Good job overall! <3
Got really engaged playing this. This was the first horror take on the theme :thumbsup: and it had quite a few cool moments. The music was simple but added a lot to the horror mood! Font choice was good for the title, but I had trouble reading it sometimes. The graphics were at times a bit too dark to read well and the pixelart unfortunately got blurred.
A Unity tip: you can control this via the import and filtering settings for your 2d sprites; filtering would have to be set to No filtering/Point filter to make sure the graphics stay crisp.
Congrats on finishing and thanks for making this!
Retrying was pretty punishing, having to sit through the dialog again. However, the take on the theme was really funny and made me smile :thumbsup: Good job!
The link to your game unfortunately doesn't work and I couldn't find the game on your itch.io profile. Maybe you haven't published (=made public) the game page yet?
Score: 1334 :v: I didn't quite get why there were Zombies but hey, they make for good enemies. Took me a bit to figure out how the shooting works - might be due to me playing on touchpad. Congrats on finishing!
I really liked the visual finish of the body in the background so I was a little disappointed in the contrast between that and the player character and enemies. I don't feel like they go well together visually. That being said, the stark color-contrast works for readability. Again the background art really spoke to me! In terms of gameplay I had some issues with the vertical controls. The moving heart added interesting variation on gameplay and I chuckled every now and again when I found myself trying to keep the heart within an arm or leg :sweat_smile:
Good mood. After multiple runs my best time is 03:12. I've wandered these frozen planes for what feels like ages, keeping that flame alive with tiny leaves or branches that really only last for so long. It does a good job of capturing the feeling of a dire situation, of holding on to the tiniest thing; a struggle to *keep it alive*. Good job.
