My PC froze for 10 minutes and then shut down. If this is intentional, this is outrageous crap. I won't downvote, as I can't be sure.. But if an issue wouldn't be adressed in a few days, I'll consider it intentional. Without it - a very solid game in it's cathegory.
@daniel-jenikovsky Oh, the crush is unintentional? You know, I assumed because of the nature of a game.. I have Win 7
Oh, moody one! I'd like to see this artstyle polished..
Great! Some real game here! Spy Party genre, right? You made it for some time, though, right? The theme is missing at all..
Nope! nope, keep strolling, keep Strolling away from that nighmarish creatures.. No wonder I got a depression, living in here..
Umm.. I want my milk real bad, but it doesn't let me! on Win. just doesn't start
Nice game! It's a good idea to visualize the board game but sometimes I can't see the cube. It will be better if you can create some restrictions for its trajectory.
Didn't like it being monotonous, visuals are really great, but the game itself becomes boring to me too fast.
Smth Ambitious finally! Awkward controls, nice idea, graphics create interesting vibe, repeat sound is super annoying..
Great one! Looks really complete. Still lacks audio, but it is no problem. Great balanced, it really was a challenge to learn how to beat the game (and learning here is a great part of the game!), but it was not too hard, which is perfect. One of the best rouge-like ever played =)
Sorry, but didn't like this one because of lack of decorations and unjustifiably hard controls. The mechanic is really simple and I expected something more surprising on a jam then a cone racing game. Music is good btw. 3/5 overall
Not much game here though, liked classic-like rendering method, it is cool =)
Really good graphics, why there is no graphics field to rate? I would get it 5/5. Talking about game mechanics, it is too simple to gain fun or make a challenge or deliver an idea. And I don't think that it suits the theme. This way every game may be called "Stuck in a loop", aren't we reloading every time we failing in Skyrim? =) 3.5/5 overall, still playable and looks solid.
Well green handles and stretching is a real deal here, right? The insane freedom is good, but I really struggled to put it to a good use.. Only trivial stuff comes to mind.. In any case 5/5 innovation I'd say. As a whole, personally I'm not really into the samples, so the big problem is that there only 4 fixed ones.. Individual Volume knobs would be nice. Geometric UI is pretty clear. Maybe think of a gameplay where you replicate the beat by sound.
Favourite so far. Good exploration tug. It pleads for some inventory management tools, but for the jam its just fine fcorse
Wow, so many weapons! I think the battle is a bit too messy, clamped and random to fully utilize arsenal potential. Very solid overall.
Good game! Liked everything about it. Looks very complete.
It was cool. Even though the game is very simple and not introduces a lot of mechanics, it is really fun and the main mechanic is really interesting. 4.5/5 overall
Hey, one of DEVs here. Thx for fback. Let me say: the main idea was to change the world every loop, as a result of talking and finding secret paths (right now only car appears on 4th), up until the final run where you should make two uninterupted loops, slowly raising your speed to max, which allows you to make long tree jumps to the final hole above the pub. But, dead without a sleep by the deadline, we failed to build level in time.. Also, yeah, physics is crap, its on me, second unity proj.
@johnsensei Thx, yeah it's innovative stucking mechanic. Real experimental. The program is MagicaVoxel!
@harrm Sooo-nooooo chi no saaadaaaameeee
Good overall, bud bad humor. All in all it is killing and killing is bad. Deaths seemed so real to me that I was about to vomit on my keyboard. Too much violence. Loop topic was uncovered. Yes, you should play over again every time you fail, but isn't it exactly the same as we often do in any game with save/load? Everything else is fine, had fun.
Hey, can I say? Didn't like it! W t hell! Yeah, I'm a depressed suicidal ass I am. But making art that just straightforwardly breeds such emotions is dumb! It's not deep or smth, the causes may be true, but listing your problems is just like begging for pity. At best you will attract others and form a toxic self-pitying group, which will feel better together but stuck and hopeless. love the art btw;)
Cute and funny game. Amazing art and decorations.
Solid manager. I think it lacks variety. Maybe some silly random events now and then, which essentially shape the run..
I drove the train! Yep. Right in'nout, right into, right past. My pancakes are less sensitive then mouse here btw.
Interesting! I wish the narrative idea was explored more.. And dialogs were a bit too slow for me. But I felt involved kinda, or smth :) Thx!
Seems really cool, but way too confusing.. You should wright straight full explanation in description!
I liked the space theme and the pictures used. It would be better if there was a small map that showed the location and itself. I also liked the graphic design.
Yeah, so when I heard the alarms go off, I was in the hall. I grabbed myself and run to the door as fast as I could. Nobody was in sight, and blood kept rythmically pumping in my ears.. The door! I open my inventroy and.. empty. I forgot the key. I think this is it. I spent last seconds besides the closed door, thinking about my girlfriend.
For me it laggs a lot and then side button press just changes speed immediately, ramming me into a wall. So it's unplayable.
Very unique feel to all of this. The gameplay is pretty heavy on number crunching and cause-effect is too difficult to trace.. Get rid of all the numbers in the game!
Original, but I'd like to see more restrictions. Right now I can win just by doing first thing that comes to mind.
Really interesting, but unfortunately lags too much on the old laptop.
This is the best game I played here definitely. Just solid on all fronts. Negatives: I didn't realize you need to hold Space for so long, it was super confusing. I just pressed it and the level was just stupid. I press space to skip menu and animation is playing and I press space and it skips the next menu by accident and it is infuriating. The biggest drawback for me is that blocks are way too small for this horizontal acceleration. Standing on one or two blocks is incredibly hard and finicky. And it is very important to progress..
Oh, no I wasn't clear enough, I understood all the mechanics. I meant that buildings didn't directly participated in building, just through resources, and because of automatic resource collection, only one of each building is strictly necessary, so the area cost isn't really an important factor, I think. So it feels like a side hussle in relation to the main goal.
I think the idea is amazing! Like the most hidden gem out there! Getting the ball into a trap is so satisfying and the condition for getting profit is to catch the ball is pretty ingenious game design. I will remember this.
Unfortunately it lagged from the beginning and crashed (like context lost kind of thing)
best 52. I found that it was way too random.. Cool music.
Interesting genre. The best thing is that it is a strategy with very easy controls. Pretty elegant. The hand cursor is so inaccurate. My gameplay didn't involve much thinking, it feels that there's a simple optimal heuristic, without much dynamic adaptation to the circumstance. I would've definitely enjoyed some rare troops production, but do not complicate the UI! No buttons, the type of a troop should depend on surroundings and a pattern of your mushrooms around.
Oh wait, it isn't supposed to be funny? That's the only game I lauged playing
Oh, comeon you should fix the bug with the mouse tracking and resolution! (Then write to me;)) It is permitted by the rules, check it out. I didn't see the phrase and bottom half of letters.
I couldn't fit it into a laptop screen. Your hard-coded resolution is too big
Cool, very creative. A good kind of minimalism. It feels like you piece together a life's story.. And that falling shape to the side.. Wait is this the flashing memories? What am I progressing towards!? 😨
Yep, the graphics are 5/5, with all the animations.. Are you like 1 programmer and 4 artists? 😄
My best score is 252. My arm hurts. My new favourite from the Jam. I think its quite a genius game design. The worst thing is definitely the movement: make it smooth or at least make it not instant, (like slow is probably even better). Right now the optimal style of play is to fkn kill your wrist tapping 15 times a second. Also I think easy way to add depth would be to implement pushing of blocks by blocks. Then you can plan maybe how to complete tasks remotely and block shape becomes really important. I stopped by your page looking for your other work, but I guess you haven't heard of it.
Good luck with the full featured version :)
The basic action of dodging is pretty fun. The balance is way off, When I learned that I can build turrets at 15 Depth, I just build myself an autobattler :)
Had problems with the lack of any responce from the game. Not sure what solved it, I bashed all the buttons.
Pretty smooth experience overall. Not particularly interesting puzzles, but controls, art and the vibe feels nice.
Agree with previous comments. Music is so good, I just jumped in place and vibed.
Unfortunately unplayable because of the mouse cursor.
In the ship I replayed the long segment 10 times and quit. Nice game. It playes like a puzzle, not really an action title, but for a puzzle, replaying the challenge multiple times is a chore. Cool sprites and vibe. Shark is the best
Atmosphere is the best. Sound is great. I collected 2 treasures, but couldn't find what next. Maybe it lagged for me, idk, I found controls to be too clunky.
Sorry, file too big
Unfortunately,the controls is way off for me, The object is kind of snapping to a position abruptly with inertia, ramming into walls.
Wait, did you create the songs? In three days? If so, that is the most impressive thing. Graphical design is strong.
Really amazing and ambitious. Lots to praise, can I cut to the suggestions? I think the game looks awesome, especially shiny borders of the ground tiles, but I feel that there's Too much detail for such a small scale. Regarding the main progression - it is weird, challenge rumps up and your success depends on how much you get above the requirement, but you don't know how difficult later days would be and it is possible to lose first few days, and go on, not knowing that you effectively couldn't complete some later level.
@borabee Oh, thank you very much for playing!
@j-rara Yes, 100% agreed on UI. We just couldn't do it in time - our gameplay loop only came together in the last two hours :sweat_smile:
