Really nice idea! Had fun just driving around! The "fighting againts my past run" never felt this pressuring a car game! The only odd thing about is that the car suddenly stops when I let the buttons go, should keep the momentum!
My favourite weapon-design this year! I like the balance of shooting/running. And the atmosphere/graphics works like a charm.
How did you manage to build in a time-machine in this game? I sat down for 5 minutes and an hour has passed. Neat visuals! Really entertaining experience!
Great idea! The execution not so great. I had issues with placement (screen shake), and selecting the object I want to put down. The fact that the itch page has the same background as the game doesn't help (hard to see where the game frame is), nor that under the game theres a GIF of the game. But there is potential in the game!
Nope!! Noooooope! Nooooooooooopppppe! I don't really like scary games, and this reminded me why! Amazing entry in every aspect!
Really nice horror-puzzle game. It has the escape room vibes and challenges! At some parts I felt really pressured but I guess that was intended :D
The visuals are great! The arrows are nice touch! Music is needed so much! (And a bit more variety)
Really interesting puzzle game! The ending part should be skippable because going through it after every try to unlock the eyes was a bit too much
The gravity feels really nice,and intuitive. It was bit unclear how many levels there were. Would be nice to know!
@fabdynamic The other thing you could thinmk about is an "overworld map". Between levels, to show where you are in the process to populate the galaxy, you could add a galaxy map. It would even add you the possibility to make branched map with additional mechanics on certain branch. It would also add a possible save point, if people don't want to do everything at one sitting.
As much as I enjoyed the visuals and how responsive the game is, I sadly expreienced that the sound bits will die quite fast. I don't know if the amount of sounds played at the same time caps out or what, but with a game that has music as it's main theme, this shouldn't an issue.
Loved the feel of the shooting, for some reason it's quite satisfying! A bit hard to control and jump. Needs coyote time!
Enter the Gungeon and Risk of rain clear influance, but it is really well done! I felt really powerfull with all thos powerUps. The only issue is that the bullets need to be more distinctive! It makes them hard to see when they are grey as the floor and other grey particles
A liked how the graphic is consistent! Adding enviormental sfx would add to the spooky atmosphere. (Noises of the night.)
Had fun with it! Reached the leaderboard! It needs a bit clearer communication between the game and the player. What adds points/speed, how much helath I have and so on
Wasn't really sure what was the goal. I wanted the lights to turn on when they are connectend...
The post-processing and particle effects add to the game a lot! The control is a bit difficult, and the camera could be a bit more far out.
I'm impressed how much 3D you have done for a 48H game! An interesting reflection on life and relationship. It's nice to see how many topics can be disccussed as a game. The only thing I would change is that you would loose card, is you use them and there is no dialogue option.
Quite Cheerful! I enjoyed the visuals! It became a bit too repetitive and was not clear what gives me scores, or what is the goal (until I read the instructions)
@scottgoldsmith Thank you!
Thank you everybody! (@ale, @warrrkus, @meemog, @petturtle, @coding4rtist, @yeti-kid, @bereg, @jakob-reborn)
Thank you for all of your kind words!
So the initial idea was to have more things to do, but I realised that I won't have enough time do make it meaningful and decided on this version. It feels more polished and more care was put into it!
All assetst were cerated during the 48 hours. Music included! I have a nice little midi piano and a good sounding piano VST.
Not aging the character adds a different vibe and meaning to the whole experience, it was intentional.
The visauls are great and in overall brings back an old-era rpg feel. A bit of transparency/dithering would make it easyer to navigate when being behind objects! I feel that the 5 magic in the current version is a bit overshoot. Makes it a bit hard to switch and doesn't serve any purpose to have this much. (We need a full version of this game!)
Amazing graphics as expected from you! Might would suggest to make the main character a bit different colour, to make it more visible. The puzzles are fun! Would love to see more!
Thank you everyone for the feedback!
@jungle - Yeah, let's talk about it!
@shadowcast - Yes, it's more about the experience than what the actual text said, because that can differ from person to person.
