Finished the entire thing, great job! Nice scope management for a jam game I think and you did a good polish. The game itself was fun, it was satisfying to finally beat the last level (after many many tries haha). The audio level was way too low though, I'd recommend making it a quite a bit louder. Regardless, congrats on a solid entry!
Game looks great and I think the movement and destruction mechanics were very well done, however after finding the first upgrade, I couldn't locate the other one and was a bit lost as to what I needed to do? Perhaps I missed something. Regardless, very impressive aesthetic and great job, just some guidance for people like me would've been a good addition imho. Congrats tho!
I thought it's a very interesting concept that fits the theme well, excellent work! I didn't manage to get to the very end, but I think I got quite close. Liked the pingpong ball sfx idea as well. Very beautiful aesthetics!
Hah, definitely one of the most fun entries I've played here, I just wish it wouldn't have forced the game ending, so that I could have come back and played around a bit more! I had a laugh at the marketing options, great stuff, loved it!
Hah, great idea and superb execution, very funny, neat and polished jam entry. Congrats!
Nice and simple, although quite tricky to master the controls, after a while I did get used to them. Nice jam entry, congrats!
Looked great and nice mechanic, although I noticed that the music didn't loop? Oh and another one weren't the character names supposed to be Bhoot & Toohb (as opposed to the second one being Toobh? haha) Nevertheless, great achievement especially in such a short time, congrats!
I mean wow people, this looks spectacular! Loved the sound and especially the music, it sounded like you didn't use virtual instruments, did you set out to record the soundtrack as well? All that being said, I did get a bit confused with what I was doing if I am being perfectly honest, I did finish it, but was a bit lost as to why haha, but that might be just me. Anyway, overall - amazing work, congrats!
Challenging, fun, concise entry, loved it, played throught the entire thing! Looked great as well and the sound design was on point. Congrats!
Looks amazing, great music, atmosphere and mood. I would suggest tho, that it'd be great if it would be possible to click on a dialog box to load instantly rather than having it load up every time. Congrats tho, amazing job especially with this little time!
Hah! Brutal game!! Loved the spin on the theme and enjoyed the gameplay, my only suggestion might be to perhaps setup some checkpoint so you wouldn't have to start from the beginning every time, but that may be just me. Anyway, congrats on a job well done!
That was a lot of fun, the controls were smooth and I got hooked quite quickly. Although I am not sure about those blue cars, as the game is hard as it is (well at least for me lol) and in the later levels one collision makes the lap obsolete and then I need to spend half a minute to give it another go to then again be struck by one of those reckless driving blue... bas.. drivers 😆 It might be just me though. In any case excellent job!
Nice one! I thought the music and repetitive tasks create this sort of meditative atmosphere. It was very enjoyable and funny, congrats!
Hey great mechanic and fun game, took me a while to get how it works, but once I did I enjoyed it! Perhaps some sort of tutorial level would be handy to teach the players how it works. Nevertheless, great job, congrats!
Hahaha intense!! Reminded me a lot of PT, but a different take on the concept, loved the glitches both in the visuals and the music and the overall tension building. Excellent job, but I wonder - was I supposed to write 'end' on the last computer?
Looks great and has a good atmosphere, however the spider got stuck on my third or fourth day and was just looping in the corner, oh and I noticed the the guitar riff during the attack doesn't loop, but then again probably no one is supposed to hear it for as long as I did hah. By the way how do you light the torch? 😮 nevertheless, great entry and job well done!
Really clever take on the theme and super cool mechanic. Looks fantastic as well, amazing job!
Great entry and amazing accomplishment in such a short time! It did get quite difficult when I had to juggle the thirst, hunger and temp metrics all at once, but still seemed fair. Congrats!
Awesome, excellent idea for the core mechanics of the game. If you continue to work on it I think it really could turn into something. I think an atmospheric music style would work great here, something a bit more ambient, a windy soundscape and organic sound effects. Congrats on a job well done and got to say the spider freaked me out 😆
Great entry with fun gameplay and polished quite nicely. Had loads of fun playing it, congrats!
Absolutely brilliant concept and interesting take on the theme that works very well with it. Very smart mechanic, good job. I think you should expand on this for sure. Just a thought, feel free to ignore, but since the loop area has stop/play/record signs and stuff, I thought perhaps the item being used could be a camera instead of a staff hah. In any case, amazing entry!
Extremely well polished pretty much done game, amazing job! My only thought would be to perhaps make level name pop up shorter on replays, I'd consider only showing the level name on only on the first go as on multiple level replays it I think it needlessly slows down the gameplay. Loved the visual aesthetics, the sound design is nice and crisp and the music fits the game. Congrats, best game so far!
Hey played through the entire thing, loved the drawings and the puzzles were intuitive to solve, which led to a good game flow. Liked the minimal track for the music as well, some sound design I think would give a lot of life to this. Job well done considering how little time you had and that you did it on your own.
looks great, I like the combat music switch you did and was good fun sliding around haha
loved the atmosphere you created for this, enjoyed the playthrough, although in the first day didn't know what I was doing and double cleaned all the floors I think because I turned right at the beginning and not left. But afterward I got it and it was great, congrats on a job well done!
Hey amazing job, I think this might be my favourite yet, straight forward, concise concept, very good idea for a jam and fits the theme well, so congrats! Reminded me of snake, I think I would've been playing a lot of something like this on my nokia lol Screenshot 2020-10-08 233634.jpg
Hey, loved the music and the mood and of course massive thumbs up for the naruto run!!
Game look fantastic, the atmosphere is there, sound are nice, however I did get lost quite close to the beginning and couldn't figure out what to do. But regardless, amazing entry considering how little time you had. By the way the A doesn't work to go left I had to press Q
Loved the visuals and the the crispy sounds, fun gameplay as well, excellent job!
Good job, had fun playing it, maybe the beginning could be a bit faster for re-plays
Great entry, loved the graphics, especially the enemies! The sound seems to be too low though and not entirely sure how it related to the theme? Regardless, great job!
Great entry, loved the world building and the visual aesthetic you went for, congrats!
AI needs a bit of a polish haha, but otherwise fun game! 😆
Wow, absolutely blown away, truly amazing entry!! It's incredible that you managed to do all of that by yourself in such a short time, makes me wonder what you would come up with if you'd develop this to the end 👍
The art style and animations were absolutely adorable hahaha 😆 The music supported the visuals really well too, although could've used a few more sound effects. Great entry, would be nice to see this developed a bit more, as I've beat the game really quickly. Could become a really good puzzle game 👍
Awesome entry! Loved the pixel art, I think you should most definitely finish developing this one, adding a few more weapons, levels would would elevate the experience even more. I think it would also be nice to have some sort of visual/sound effects when you lose a life. (I realise you didn't have enough time to do this during the jam and that's fair enough!) At first I thought it was a bit too difficult, but when I got used to the mechanics managed to beat the game in my fourth attempt ✌️ Anyway, great job guys, would love to see this finished up!
Great entry, shout out to the composer - really liked how the theme developed throughout the levels of the game, having the sound effects match the harmony is a great idea and adds to the immersion of the experience. Loved the minimal aesthetic of the game and that overall everything was very consistent and well polished. And the gameplay is fun as well - excellent job, guys! One minor 'bug' that I encountered was that if I would press the space bar just before dying, it would sort of 'carry' into the next level and I would start the replay by jumping up immediately. That didn't effect my experience too much, just thought you might want to know that.
Amazing job 10/10
Very clean and well polished looking game that does take some thinking to master. Awesome soundtrack and great overall feel. Amazing job, guys!
Wow superb entry, I think I will actually play this one every once in a while! 😄 Great soundtrack, awesome visuals, generally pretty much a finished game, good job guys, loved it! 👍 although @kostak made a good point, that this could work with just a mouse as well, using the keyboard made me make a few "typos" leading to mistakes, but I guess that's my own fault haha
Very well done guys! Definitely think this has a lot of potential and should be developed to the end. The feel of the game is great, graphics are awesome, music fits perfectly. I agree with what some of the peeps in the comments above mentioned - would be nice to catch a break in the merchant store for a sec, maybe not a complete pause, but at least for a bit longer (obviously if the player does not want to wait, he or she shouldn't be forced to!)
It's tricky to understand which weapon fits which enemy, I was sort of guessing as well, but I'm sure you guys could figure this one out with some brainstorming. Also just an idea to add something like a suit of armour with a separate health bar, or possibly something like 3 lives to the player? As much as I've played, I didn't get a lot of potions and most of the time there wasn't much I could do to survive. (or maybe I missed something)
Anyway, amazing job, especially as it was done so quickly! Would love to see a full version, cheers!
haha addictive game, I think it would work really well on mobile.
Amazing job guys, really liked the visuals and general feel of the game. In my humble opinion *light* astronaut animations would give a bit more life to the inside of the ship. I liked the soothing sound track, but there were some technical issues as at some times the audio was clipping, most likely due to a lack of fades in the audio track. Very easy fix tho. Great idea with the scrolling down mechanic to shoot the asteroids - merges two classic game genres seamlessly. 👍
Anyway, my favourite game so far, cheers!
Nice one, guys! Loved the menu and visuals! Although I'd like to say that it was very difficult and a bit annoying to restart the game from the very beginning after touching anything while playing. I think a health bar/force-field would do wonders, then instead of restarting you could at least take some damage before hand. But still - good job!

As I see others have as well, I spent quite a while on this one lol. Really clever idea and very addictive gameplay, I think you tapped into some sort of primal instinct, cause I it really got me quite hooked 😆 Amazing work, well done!
WindBots by alexhonor 2022-10-12T14:31:02Z ♥ 1
Wow! This was really great, I think this is my favourite take on the theme so far. It's really fun, I love how forgiving it is with mistakes, making the flow of the game very pleasant. Obviously it would be great to have more levels, but for a game jam this is expected. I loved the look of the bots as well. Congrats, really well done! 👏

I loved the sound, visuals and general feel of the game. Nice tutorial intro too. However, as others have mentioned, I agree that perhaps it would be nice to have some sort of indicator how much ammo you have left and a clearer indication when the eye is about to attack. Also, imho, it would be nice to have some more health, so that one hit couldn't kill you instantly. I really think you should expand on this tho! Overall, congrats, very nice entry!
RUN RUN RUN by Hengen 2022-10-12T13:24:47Z ♥ 1
That was a lot of fun! Quite hard tho! I loved the way the environment changes throughout the game. A couple of times I got hit by the skeletons and ended up outside of the arena with no way back. Also I felt that perhaps it would be nice if the radius of the shop items was a bit larger. A couple of times I jumped towards the shop but had to wait until I land on the circles in order to buy, at late game I felt this made it really hard to buy stuff, as the skeletons would catch up on me before I land. But maybe that's the way you wanted it! Anyway, very well done, congrats!
Enrum by HOLYPERSON 2022-10-11T14:09:01Z ♥ 1
Looks and feels great, very nice polish. I loved that you managed to include a gradual tutorial, however by level 6 I did get a bit lost and only managed to finish the game after reading the comments. Overall great stuff!
Waves by RiptideStudio 2022-10-06T10:26:37Z ♥ 4
Loved the idea, look and feel of this. I particularly like the minimalistic aesthetics. Unfortunately I got a bit too disorientated and could only find one of the batteries in my first playthrough, but I'll give it another go later. This fits the theme really well too, however I think perhaps it'd be cool if there was something more to do after the light go down, because I mostly found myself playing only after the room lights up and waiting when it gets dark. Overall - great work!

Count Down Dracula by Guilloteam 2022-10-05T12:40:31Z ♥ 5
That was brilliant and so well polished, wowzers! You managed to make a proper tutorial, level progression, balancing and even a well done boss fight, well done, especially for a jam! The game is a lot of fun, looks and feels great. Nice!

Congrats on your entry, it looks great, the reminds me of my childhood days haha
Carton Carrier by dimlight 2022-10-05T10:19:14Z ♥ 1
This was really really good! Probably the most time I spent playing a game in this LDJ. Similarly to what other have said, it was a lot of fun, however even though the 10s timer makes the game more intense (and links it to the theme of course), it feels a little too short. I think seeing the upcoming parts might help with that? Also perhaps the timer for the game is not really necessary as there is already a loosing condition. In my second playthrough, I felt like finally I was gaining on the rats and perhaps might win, but then the timer ran out. :( I feel like this a great idea for a game and you should expand on it, maybe without the 10s timer though haha. Great visuals too! Anyway, this is a really good entry imo, congrats!

Hah, that was great, loved the use of the theme and overall it was really funny. It was more fun the more I played it as well, although I gotta say I struggled with some of them like the tentacle one, as I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong. But I guess I'd figure it out with more playthroughs. Awesome stuff
Wait 4 upgrade by Gastar 2022-10-04T16:13:26Z ♥ 3
I got 284s! I really liked the way it progressively got harder as time went on, I thought it's quite well balanced. The use of theme was good too, although that's what caused me to die in the end - didn't get heals for quite a long time haha. But that's not really a critique, I thought the chance mechanic was good. Nice work.
