Great concept, graphics and narration ! But I wish the dialogues bubbles did not stop the game flow !

Great concept, graphics and narration ! But I wish the dialogues bubbles did not stop the game flow !
Cool experience, love the psx graphics, the character design and the audio ! Congrats
Haha I had a fun time playing it ! Very original and clever idea !
Pretty impressive ! Took me a bit of time to understand I could move the light under the floor (maybe your should mention it in the game description ?). Maybe you could find a way to optimize a bit the visuals ? Anyway, I will follow your itch.io account to see the future updates ! π
I loved it! Clever puzzle game with a good difficulty. The graphics are cute and the musics are funny sometimes. I think I would exploit a bit more the shrodingger paradox in the gameplay somehow. But anyway, great job ! π
Solid entry with very good graphics and level design ! The only thing that felt a bit disappointing were the controls for me. Otherwise it is close to perfect, congrats !
Great potential ! This is one of the most pleasant game to play I reviewed so far. Wish there was more levels so the mechanics could be fully exploited. The graphics are close to perfect. Congrats !
I gave you really good ratings as it is one of the best game I reviewed so far ! Even the title of the game made me laugh π Very funny, cute and well made game. Good idea to use Wolframe Tone for the audio ! I loved the small variations like the wireframe shader in level 4 for exemple that keep the game challenging ! Congrats !
Great game ! It feels a bit like playing a tower defense game but with slightly different rules. The graphics are clean and it has potential to grow into a full game in my opinion ! Congrats π
I love the matches mechanics to light up the candle, nice game with good interpretation of the theme π
Emotional ! Cute little game easy to finish, hope Flerg and Piggy will live long and happy.
I felt that the mouse sensitivity was really too low for that type of nervous first person runner, it made the controls a little bit frustrating π’ Otherwise I could have finish it, as it is a really cool game, with good ideas, feeling, and very clean artwork and assets ! Congrats !
Pretty cool and original ! Nice touch to put modifiers to tweak the game rules π Congrats
I really enjoyed your game and I finished it ! I gave you a good rating because I think it is a good work. It is very kawaii, and the gameplay is simple but challenging enough. Wish it had audio and that the menu was a bit more polished, but that's no big deal πΊ
Funny idea, simple but efficient. Going one level back when you loose is raging, yet addictive somehow π Congrats !
Well polished game inspired, I guess, by Paper Mario and other plateformers/RPG that uses flat characters in a 3D world ! (I used this process in my game too π ) The characters design, animations, sound design and environment are nice, even if we feel that you lacked time to make it a complete game, but it was an ambitious project ! Congrats !
Good tribute to Conway ! It's nice to have a leaderboard :)
Original concept, pretty fun to play ! π
Sweet ! Good storytelling and atmosphere, I really enjoy the retro graphics and the background music. Congrats
Funny little game ! I like that you can customize your character and the background music is funky. The gameplay is smooth, wish it was just a bit more challenging πΊ Congrats
Lovely atmosphere, the soundtrack is great. The game is hard, so easy to die and to start all over again ! I agree with @amatsugu that it would be nice if the flash light had a longer range ! Congrats
Nice concept, but hard to control ! I like how things are getting blurry when you don't collect enough items. Good audio work !
Funny game I liked it ! Clean and simple in a good way. A background music would be a nice thing to add !
I really enjoy the graphics, the eye is cool ! It does the job, the background music is good too.
Very cool ! The rewind action and vehicle switch mechanics are great ideas, well done concept. The graphics would deserve to be a bit more stylish (I don't mean more detailled, just better color balance, post processing and so on π ). Congrats !
The sound design is funny I like it ! Nice low poly graphics, the overall concept works well. I find it pretty hard to detect which building is collapsing !
Interesting concept ! I also worked with hand drawn graphics π Your game would need a little bit more polish (background music, better treatment for the drawings, more effects and stuffs on the screen maybe ?). The narration is great !
This is very cute ! I love the graphics, it got that 2000s CGI feelings π Wish we could see the overall shape of the machine they are operating ! Maybe that could be the reward for fixing it after some time (unfortunatly the game lacks a "final goal" for now). Adding some music and sound fx would be great too !
Nice one ! Great game mechanics with proper animations. Wish were was a bit more efforts on the audio to increase the "run for your life" concept !
Pretty nice and fun to play ! Nice touch to let the player choose between two characters, wish there was a gameplay element to differentiate them tho !
Hey, cool game ! I used a similar concept of light/shadow for my entry, feel free to check it out ! π The animation is cute and I enjoyed the rythm (die and retry with short levels), well done !
The gameplay is pretty minimalist but it looks quite good and cute !
I like the idea and graphical style, it is appealing ! However there are a lot of LOD bugs (some elements are disappearing even when you are close to them) !
Very relaxing, and great tribute to Conway. The music is sweet!

Super polished and well designed, good job !
Toilet Diver by Makache 2025-04-13T22:25:42Z ♥ 1
Pretty good and funny entry, looks polished (except for the air supply UI maybe that could have been a bit better). I like the controls, camera effects, backstory and character animation :) Congrats!

A Mining Game by Bewelge 2025-04-08T22:47:36Z ♥ 0
It's like that good old motherload flash game (or "a game about digging a hole" more recently), nice that you've made this in such a short amount of time ! Adding a twist to the gameplay would have make it a unique game :)

Nice! Simple yet solid gameloop with a great risk vs reward balance, clean execution and polishing, AND funny :D Great job!

This is really great, you've made an awesome job with this entry, congratulations! The concept is great and the execution is super high quality! Love it ! Can't believe you even had time to make a leaderboard :D

Hahaha! First time I see a game made on scratch here, funny entry :)
Deepsweeper by dan-whiffing 2025-04-08T07:08:12Z ♥ 1
Clever ! Pretty interesting idea :) Not sure the FPS navigation is the most convenient solution, maybe switching between 6 views (so one per box face) with a bit of camera tilt following the mouse movement would have been more practical π€ Anyway, nice that you implemented the 3d minesweeper algorithm in such a small amount of time! Good job!

Awesome entry! Very clever mechanic and design, no downside to me really. CONGRATS!!
Heaven Denied by Dingbat 2025-04-07T22:44:04Z ♥ 1
I think it's a very nice game! Who would have thought it's so exciting to be the judge at the gates of heaven/hell ? πΌ π The only thing that is a bit annoying is having the UI in the 3D space, having to turn your head all around to get the informations and click buttons, it would have work just fine with a 2D interface and fixed point of view I believe. If you make it 2d and more interface based like Papers Please, I think it could honestly make a quite successful Steam game. Please develop it, I would definitly play that π

Hooked by mira 2025-04-07T21:15:13Z ♥ 1
Very nice entry! Clean, cute, and that "async" gameplay where you have to pump air and move at the same time is quite smart and works very well with the diving suit theme! Great job π π¦

Remember the 3C (Character, Camera, Controls) π Your character is funny in my opinion, but the camera has big issues when the walls block the view, and the controls are very counterintuitive ! I really encourage you to focus on having a good camera behavior and slick controls before anything else when developing your next games :) Otherwise the gameloop is fine, no bugs from my testing, good job!
Depth of your Thoughts by mauzart 2025-04-07T20:50:09Z ♥ 2
I'm french so I had the chance to enjoy the full story π I'm really surprised by this "pure narrative" entry, it is obvious that you don't have a lot of development skills yet, still you managed to focus on your strengths and produce a very enjoyable experience. Congrats!!

God it's hard haha! But simple and addictive. It reminds me of Gunstar Heroes underground mine level! Good job

Nice one, the game loop is addictive ! The sound fx when dragging is a bit annoying but the music is great ! Good polishing !

Really nice graphic style ! The camera collisions are a bit annoying, too bad. The game is smooth and the dialogues are funny! Good job

Oh yeah I didn't get the double jump either, a small hint always helps! The parallax doesn't seem right as the person before me mentioned. Otherwise it's an interesting entry with unique graphics !
Shafted by DecadeDecaf 2025-04-07T13:41:31Z ♥ 1
Good gameloop, I enjoyed playing it :) I think the whole game could be better if it was more nervous : faster movements, faster transition (like when the card stops for the upgrades picking), game over immediately if you don't have pickaxe anymore and not enough gold to buy a new one, etc. Otherwise it's pretty solid, nice job!

I see a lot of work for making this game that looks very polished and professional ! I see also your inspiration from Balatro of course ! Love how you you put some tutorials to guide the player through the game (it was a bit hard to understand the rules at first but after a couple of games it makes sense!). Now some technical downsides which are totally forgivable considering that it was made in such a short amount of time : - the camera movement when your cursor is at the bottom of the screen could have been removed as it's more annoying than anything. - the rules when you highlight the deck are too small to be readable (even in full screen it's quite small), I think these texts could be bigger and much more concise! - the black border to pick where to place the selected card is not clear enough, selecting a card should highlight the selected target area and the other "possible" areas should also be highlighted in a more discrete way.
That's it, otherwise great entry, congratulations!
DownThread by eyedromeda 2025-04-07T08:17:44Z ♥ 1
Very nice, polished and well executed. Simple yet efficient game loop ! +1 for adding difficulty modes and a survival mode. Lot of potential for adding a bunch of new features and variations to make it a full game :)
Spring Drill by TopperVideoGames 2025-04-07T08:12:35Z ♥ 1
It's an interesting game loop, I think polishing it and adding more variations for the tiles behavior would have been a better choice than to add collectibles (which doesn't bring anything to the gameplay and is a bit annoying to collect). Good job
SATURATION by swooty 2025-04-07T08:06:12Z ♥ 2
It goes very well with the theme as it clearly gives a sensation of depths :) However the game lacks clear goals which doesn't make it very fun to play, even for a slow experience it is quite empty, something like 3D arrows indicating a goal to reach and the position of the ship after you exit it would have been nice. Good execution tho, I like the enemies animations.
Wrinkles by OadT 2025-04-07T07:55:05Z ♥ 1
Very funny and unique puzzle mechanic ! A key to reduce the circles size wouldn't hurt the gameplay I think, just to require less restarts. Great job :)
Focus! by grid96 2025-04-07T07:51:59Z ♥ 1
Very well executed ! I think a little clue could have help ("click to interact" or something), because at first I didn't understand why you couldn't just shoot at the sniper on the roof ! Love the music and art, the dialogues audio and UI can become a bit annoying ! That was before I realized it didn't block the gameplay, but a way to speed up / close dialogs manually would be better for user experience :) Anyway, nice entry, good job !
FROG can't go back home this a-way by Shiheuan 2025-04-07T07:24:29Z ♥ 2
I like the frog design. I think the particle effect of the gun is misplaced, making it hard to understand that it's what makes you jump (I was playing without audio at first so when I turned it on I realized). Lacks some instructions / visual clues to help the player, for example it's hard to assess when you're gonna die by falling from too high, what the gun is used for (like I mentionned), how to deal with enemies, etc.
