I like the idea and the trajectory of the ball around the planets is well executed. But as otheres have said it's really hard to control. Also I had litteraly no idea where I was supposed to aim, a visual indcation would be nice. Another point I really liked is the music it goes really well with the space setting and the theme
Well, I understand that struggle too well, putting it as a game is a brilliant idea! Made me laugh, and it fits the theme perfectly Sometimes I got the option "make a game anyway" but it was not clickable, mot sure if this was normal!
That's super impressive. For a theme that you disliked you did an extroardinary job! The objective is clear, gameplay is simple, but it's not so easy once you get to the levels with batteries and enemies. The graphics are so cool, and the idea around the theme is great! I had a lot of fun playing this, even lost track of time while I was supposed to do some work aha, great job! With some music and sound effect it would be perfect!
Also I've noted that if you do a loop with a road, for instance a road that is around a two buildings, some robots might get stuck and endlessely go around those two buildings. It makes sense regarding how the game works but it is a bit frustrating as there is no way to fix it. Perhaps a button to remove buildings would be a nice addition
Nice game! At first I tried to escape by the road but did not work, only to realize, why would a frog escape by the road? damn human thinking :laughing: Pretty fun to play and simple but fitting graphics, well done
I really liked the idea, and graphics are nice as well. It was fun playing it though I found it a bit difficult to find the good timing, the rotation of the triangle was perhaps a bit too fast for me, I'm always bad at that kind of address game! Nice touch to have a power bar too so you don't mindlessly shoot your way to the end aha.
Fun game, totally on theme. Loved the graphics and cool music as well! A bit hard for me but still fun to play. Well done!
Ah, that was a fun entry and an interesting take to the theme! I loved how you could attack your opponent on silly reasons, and claim you are the right candidates for dad jokes, somehow it seemed reaaly close to reality :laughing: It was also pretty hard, attacking your oponnent costs so much aha! Also it took me a while to understand that you could move to other states but only on the one next to you. That said, I still had a lot of fun playing this, well done!
That's a cool and unusual experience! Love the idea, and the graphics are gorgeous. Lots of good lines as well! Sound effects are well placed too. Maybe it lacks a bit of interactions, but it is also very chilled and relaxed. Well done!
Nice gampeplay! A bit hard for me but really well executed. Cool graphics as well and sound effects are just what needed. Really cool game and impressive for such a short time, well done!
Nice idea and simple gameplay, fun to play well done!
That was just perfect! Superb game with really nice idea, cool gameplay, beautiful graphics and a really nice music. Plus a nice story to it. Very well done, I enhjoyed playing this a lot! The boss pattern was perhaps a bit easy to understand, and sometimes I got the feeling the hoop got prevented from spinning by either the royal gards or the bodies of fallen enemies. But perhaps there is a mechanic I did not understand. For a game made in 48h this is super impressive, well done!
That's a really nice game and a cool idea! Luckily you've made a tutorial that was really helpful, I don't think I would have understood what to do otherwise. The game is pretty easy to play and run smoothly, while not being so easy to succeed. I liked the graphics and the music that made for a really cool ambiance. Sometimes it was just a bit hard to see when a new request was available. And I wish we could drop cargo that we don't need when picked up accidentally, but that also can be a feature of the game, like don;t take what you don't need otherwise you get penalized.
Very fun to play, well done!
It was a bit hard to understand at first but once passed that it was a really fun game to play. Did not manage to pass day 2 yet but I'm not giving up.
Graphics are really nice and i'm impressed with the diversity of the events you can have in the game. Really fun, well done!
Thanks everyone, for the warm welcome, and glide you liked the game ! :)
@primalshadow thanks for the feedback, score based on distance would make sense that's true. The initial idea was to have the possiblity to shoot the birds for more points, and to add some power ups and special clouds, but I did not have enough time to get to it
@lyrcaxis @paulhocker Thank you so much for your kind feedbacks, glad you enjoyed the game! I know the objectives of the game are really simple and don't really make any sense. And there is always the same bird and cloud, so I totally understand the lack of variety! I'm working on a post jam version with clearer objectives, where difficulty will increase a bit over time, and there will be a bit more things to do (power ups, possibly shooting, etc)
@fabula-rasa thank you so much for your warm welcome and for your detailed feedback, it's really appreciated! Glad you liked the game! I wonder why I did not come to godot before, it so much fun to use and simpler that alternatives I was using before, I wouldn't have been able to go this far in the development with what I used before, at least not so easily aha!
Thanks, glad you liked the graphics! Don't worry when I say stolen, it's just that I did not do them myself so I took them online but I made sure they were free to use and share, at least to the best of my knowledge. I wanted to do the music as I do music composition from time to time (and that actually was my first motivation to enter the jam, weirdly), but yeah making the game took all the time I had. It will come soon though, and powerwolf seems a nice choice for the game!
I did not think of having a life system actually but that's a very good idea, you're very right! And as I was planning to add more variety to the game like power ups and shooting, it will be fitting to have more than one chance before dying before dying horribly! Thanks for the suggestion this will definitely be added!
As for the last part you are also right, it becomes hard to follow with time. I guess it's because the backgrounds are moving too fast and have too many colors that can divert the attention, and the loop animation might be too fast as well, all of that is building toward that feeling. I'm trying to work on that as well and I do think this might be the most complicated part as it will need a lot of testing and adjusting
@dans17 Thanks for you feedback, glad you enjoyed the game! You are right about the rotation speed, thanks for pointing that out. I do think the dizziness comes from that quick rotation combined to the speed of background movement. I'm working on fine tuning everything so it gets less tiring for the eyes and the experience gets a little better
Super idea, and cool graphics as well. The fact that the webpage with the charts cannot be leaved is a bit odd, but at least we get the message aha, pretty cool to have done that inside a game, welld done!
Nice one! Love the ideam really fits the theme! The graphics are cool and the music is quite good for the western setting! Easy to play and really fun!
Super simple idea but really effective and meaningful, I did not expect to reflect on my own life while driving my car aha, well done! And loved the conclusion once you escape the loop
Super cool idea! Easy to play but not so to win, I have a tendency of either crashing on the finish line or losing the cargo while trying to wrap around it aha. Had fun playing this
Cool idea! Graphics are well made, and it has simple controls. It's a bit hard to get a sense of how much power you're putting in the throw, maybe a visual indicator would have been nice, but apart from that it's really fun to play, well done!
Aha, I love the idea, but I might be biased because I had a pretty similar one! Love the execution it's pretty neat, the fact that can accelerate and decelarate is really a nice touch. I crashed in aliens ships way too many times :laughing: It's fun and addictive, well done!
That was cool, I loved the idea! As the other mentionned some of the text was hidden by the UI and not readable. It would also have been nice to be able to skip dialogs you already know, like the character always assumes it's his pod while he did that all the loops before. I managed to finish the game by just setting the coordinates, but I feel like I missed some of the necessary steps, like I did not found how to repair the broken system, I found instructions and the toolbox but I did not have to actually had to repair it to escape, not sure it was intended. Also the game told me I escaped in 0 loops while I must have done at least a dozen :laughing: But I had fun playing the game, and I loved the rewind effect when a loop restarted. The graphics are nice and the fact to be in a constant 2 minutes loop add a lot of pressure. Well done!
As it as said before, controls are a bit hard, but it's a nice idea and I like the graphics. It's easy to understand what to do as well. It was fun playing it!
That was breathtaking. Awesome entry, with gorgeous graphics, a super cool idea (using your own corpse to get through traps is so clever), easy to play but enough difficulty. The camera is well adjusted, it has voices, it works on browers, what more to ask? I'm super impressed!
Ah, that was litteraly on the theme, well played! Simple to play, and really fun! Cool graphics as well
Nice idea, and cool gameplay! Feels like I'm the person that have to clean up the mess after a hotline miami session aha! I'm not sure I fully understood what the counter was (it dropped when cleaning dirt but not when picking up trashes?). Apart from that really nice to play, well done!
Really loved the idea, and the graphics and animation are gorgeous! The music also add to the mood of the game! Camera was not helping sometimes but in such a short time it's already an amazing job, had fun playing this, well done!
Pretty neat. Cool graphics, interesting gameplay, and nice audio. Didn't know there was so many things that would try to kill you in a hospital aha
It does not seem to work on a mac, it keeps saying that the file cannot be opened. Too bad, from the pictures I really love the style. I'll try to open it on a windows later, and I'll update my feedback, I'm super curious about it
That's a rea;;y fun game and addictive! Lovely graphics, coll ;echanics and hard to master but that gives a really statsifying feelings when you reach the end of a level. Sounds are great too, well done! The only thing I would have liked would be to know how long it took to for the correct run. The time displayed at the end of alevel seems to include all the tries you've made
Impressive game, I really liked the idea of being in a circular mansion, it's unusual and makes it unique. It has some nice puzzles, lots of details, simple gampeplay, and cool graphics. Only miss sone music or sound effect to be perfect. Very well done, super fun to play!
Nice game, simple and smooth, and fun to play. Well done!
Oh wow that's impressive, everything is in there! Loved the idea, really fitting for the theme, loads of levels, with increasing difficulty, nice music and sound effects (super cool that each characters had their own sound when touching something). Addictive gameplay and not so easy to finish. Plus the arts were gorgeous AND there is a story behind. Amazing work, well done!
Really nice idea, with cool graphics and clever use of the theme. A bit hard to know where to go sometimes but overall a nice experience. I liked the intro and the ambience as well
Asesomely made! I did not expected to upset the narrator so that he'd restart hist story aha, that's a really nice touch. Music is gourgeous as well. The map aspect and footsteps everywhere are really great, and it gives a lot of satisfaction to discover the whole map. Well done!
Super cool graphics, very original! Loved that you can throw pretty much anything at your enemies from bar chairs to couches, pretty fun aha! Only thing is sometimes I got knockout but did not even seen I was getting hit, that was a bit strange. Apart from that very cool to play, and nice music too, very well done!
Really awesome! Wasn't expecting that twist at the end of the loop, that was a nice surprise and it is a super lovely idea! Plus gameplay feels polished, it's not hard too play while not so easy to avoid all obstacles. Graphics are cool and make the character lovable and the music supports the mood brilliantly. Brilliant game, well done!
Super nice idea, really enjoyed that! Pretty hard to come up with a correct trajectory, hard to really anticipate the speed and treajectories of the enemies sometimes. Apart from that I really liked the graphics and the music, this has a lot of potential well done!
Really nice game, with pretty graphics and cool music! I enjoyed playing it, well done!
Really cool idea for the theme, and it allows you to train your ear as well. Pretty sweet! Not sure if it the inteded purpose, but for training at an easier level it could be nice if the loop restarted from your last correct note to the end
Pretty nice game with a really cool idea! Hard to master and really cool to play, well done! There is just sometimes I wish we could see the entire level to know where we're headed like you usually do in minigolf, but also in a way that makes for more challenge.
Impressive, the graphics are gorgeous and all the minigames are really cool. The music goes very well with it. Well done!
Oh wow that was awesome! I got stuck a long time before realizing they could be hints in describing texts and not only dialogs aha! By the way it's nice you've added a hint in the game to tell that functionnality did exist otherwise I think I would never have found it and be looping forever!
Super nice idea with really cool graphics, and a fitting music. Spotted some nice references too! Done form as well, at the end it asks if I had a girlfriend, I noticed last day there was a girl in my room but did escape before talking to her so i don't know what she was doing here. It was a really great experience and I had a lot of fun playing it! I might retry it to see all possible endings now.
That is really insane! Graphics are on point, music is awesome and gets you just the right amount of stress, gameplay is simple but cool! I'm not sure if this is intentional or not but part of the screen was blank for me, the bottom part, but I could still direct my character there. I might have missed some clues there, could not finish the game unfortunately, too bad because with only part of the screen I already had a lot of fun, incredible work guys
As said before the mechanics are interesting and I really love the music as well, makes for a good mood. The window of the game was too small I had to go full screen to understand what was going on. Unless I missed it, I haven't seen a retry button, that's the only thing that was missing. Well done!
really nice concept and simple to play. Liked the music and graphics as well. It's really cool that finishing one life gets you bonuses for the next too. I put all the energy into studying and almost nothing in love and it felt way to relatable
That was a very challenging task! Liked that take on the theme, pretty neat. Graphics are nice and objective is clear enough. Just felt controls were not responding nicely, especially when trying to throw the boulder in the middle of a jump. But still fun to play, well done!
Loved that game, really nice idea for the theme, puzzles where nice as well, not too simple and not too hard! The graphics are really a fit for the game. Awesome job in such a short time!
Super fun game! I'm not super good at it but I enjoyed playhing it. The idea is great, and very well executed, with nice graphics, well done!
Really nice game, gameplay is simple and it works very well, I like the animations they are so cool. Took me a while to figure out the third level how to get on the other side then I facepalmed so hard when I realized it was that simple. Almost sad they are only 3 levels. I also like the selection room it's pretty neat! Well done this was super fun to play!
Also got the box stuck on the bridge in second level. In the description it says E to grab box but I could not make it work, don't know if there is another type of box later that you can grab or if this was a bug. Apart from that I really liked the idea, it makes for interesting puzzles. The music is really cool with a mysterious feeling to it. And graphics are cool as well. Great work, it would make for a great game once the few issues are resolved
Really nice puzzle, loved the graphics and the music as well. Did not expect to be able to eat too much. Nicely made!
I loved the idea! And I also loved the black knights references! It's fun to play, and quick. The intro text was just skipping to fast sometimes, I could not read it all. And the difficulty seemed to have increased a lot when guns arrived. Music was cool and in the theme as well
Fun game, the idea fits the theme perfectly, the graphics are enjoyable. I wish there was more buildings to place or actions to do, but that's pretty neat already
It's a really nice idea, but sometimes a bit difficult to find the correct timing to hit the notes. Cool loops as well. Pretty fun to play, well done!
Really like the idea and the music gives a cool vibe to it! Nice game! Maybe if it was a little more permissive it would be great, sometimes you get thrown back to the menu because you anticipated just a little too much when to pick up.
Really nice idea! Loved that menu, then once in the game it took me a while to find how to progress, and once found it was fun to play! Well done, I'd love to see a full game of this
Simple yet addicting, and super cool result for a first game! Well done! I was almost surprised there was no penalty for matching the wrong colors aha
Pretty neat! Loved the idea. Poor workers never got a chance to rest aha! It's easy to play, not too long so it does not get boring, the graphics are lovely and the music and sound effects add a really nice touch to everything, Very well done, I enjoyed playing it!
Pretty simple in terms on gameplay, and really addictive and smooth to play! Also really nice art, music is cool, and it comes with a complete explanation of what to do and not, and also why you are here, just amazing. Well done, it's super fun! Turns out I'm somehow too much interested in stealing cops lol
Very nice game! I was confused at first as it said "a single button" in the description so I thought you'd play only with one button :laughing: Once found though it was a really fun ride, cool idea, super addictive, just the right amount of difficulty, and with a music just perfect for it, well done!
As others said before, the arts are really lovely and music is sweet! Had a good time playing it, loved the f key, and damn those goats aha. Well done!
This is a fun game! Simple idea and very well executed. Hard to keep track of what you've done, and the fact that bullets bounce on the walls make it even harder, and I really enjoyed that touch! The boss changing his lines every try is also very nice, I did not expect he would go on a pizza break on my second attempt aha. There have been a few time when I could not even find the target on time because of all my past self haunting the ground. Graphics are also perfect for this type of game. Again really nice game, well done it's truly impressive! A bit of music would have been a nice touch, but the sfx were pretty neat already and in such a short time it's totally understandable
It's impressive doing a 3d game for a first jam, congrats! I had fun playing it. the splashscreens made me laugh, as well as the dying sound effect. Graphics were cool and pretty fitting music as well. Too bad you did not have time to implement what you had plan, it looks very promising!
I like the graphics, but unfortunately no matter on which screen size I try, even in fullscreen, the content gets cropped. I can't see the full health bar or the explanations on the top left, I just understood there are grenades somewhere. Did not prevent me for playing a bit, and it's really smooth, not too easy as well. It has a good potential!
Nice character and design! Did not understand the plot bu gameplay is nice, and the going back and forth depeending where you go is a nice touch. Controls are a bit strange as sometimes the jump does not seem to respond, but nice game nonetheless
Nothing to add that has not already been said. Brilliant game, I had a lot of fun playing it!
It was a really nice game. It was cool to find clues in the order. Sometimes though it was hard to read or understand what the clues meant, but overall I had fun playing it, well done! Music is pretty cool for the type of game as well, and cool graphics
Really sweet game! Simple to play and addictive, and super cute graphics! I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to hurt that little robot :laughing: Loved the music as well. Could play for hours
Liked the idea, gameplay is simple but achieving the landing is not that easy. Did not succeed lol. Pretty cool game! I'm not suree I understood what the crystals were for though.
The music and graphics were also nice
@hansj Ah yes, that's a lot better indeed, I did not see the first time that you could upgrade the ship, thanks for clarifying it :D I managed to land safely this time, pretty cool that upgrade system, makes it even ,ore interesting that what i thought in the first place, well done! One thing though, I got hit several time, either during the intro sequence, or when in the menu to upgrade the ship. It might be a nice touch to either stop or slow down the time when inside a menu so we have time to react
Hi @danielrmorgan Thank you for your quick message, I'm not sure why it doesn't work here. I've also included an itch.io link where the embedded version seems to work
@kromeboy argh, that's odd. Not sure what causing it. I'll upload binaries tonight maybe that will do the trick. Thank you for letting me know!
I've moved the category to unfinished as the game is clearly far from finished
Pretty amazing, so cool to have it fully voiced, plus subtitled. Cool music and overall very nice ambiance and mood. Maybe a bit easy to find information as sometimes code where just first letters of the name/country etc. Would love to see more events as well. Really loved the idea and was fun to play. Very clear as well
Really like the idea, well done! As other have mentioned, it lacks a bit of feedback, would have been great to see the enemies turn and when they actually attack. Also it was a bit strange at first to have to finish your hand to have new cards. But overall really enjoyed playing it
That's impressive! Loved every aspect, cool graphics, easy to understand, fun to play, and wow collaborative as well. Would be really nice to have the possiblity to move the notes to adjust timing. Had a lot of fun and being on stage at the end is such a cool idea!
Really nice! Was a bit hard to read the tutorial while hving everything moving fast at the beginning, but once you get the gist it's pretty addictive. Love the music and the graphics. The texts seem pretty funny even though sometimes it's so crazy that I don't have time to read them aha. Very cool game overall
