That was really fun! Awesome take on the theme, and discovering the fun mode made it even better :)
A little bug I encountered: sometimes when taking the exit at high speed (as you should ;) ), the little car gets stuck in a loop itself and you need to unstick it at the right point. But you'Re not taking damage while doing that, so it's not gamebreaking.
That was really awesome! Took me some time to fully grasp how the recording works, but I really like the mechanic. Hinting in early rooms what you'll need later was a nice touch. The music was also really good. The only little gripe that I have is that even if you gete what you'll need to do in the "evade" room, there is a lot of trial and error involved in getting the timing right. Still it's a reely great game and I could have gone on for quite some time longer.
An LD game that captures me for over an hour sure is a very good game! (I would have played even longer, had it not crashed... well, maybe tomorrow :) )
It took me a while to get the hang of it, but once I understood how everything worked it became quite fun. A short description of the rules at least on the LD page would have been nice.
I really love the artwork and graphics, and the music does its part to make me forget the time ;). Some sound effects to provide feedback could improve the game a bit, but it's already great as-is!
Now that's an idea I haven't seen yet! The artistic style is really nice and the music fits the setting. Fitting the scenes together by the elements is clever, and it's a cute idea to have the story be the one of the setting itself :)
I like taxi driving games :)
The map is just the right size to get to know it and the radio sets the mood quite right. Great idea to have several station sto choose from.
The AI drivers were a bit annoying; I would have liked them to avoid accidents as well (and not just plow staight ahead).
Overall, I had fun :)
Nice game, loved the art and music. Gets a bit repetitive after a while, but I guess that's the idea ;)
That was fun :) Great humor and graphics aside, I really liked the way you introduced the controls!
While the concept is not new, it is a fun approach to it. Really well executed, it felt like a finished game!
Nice and serene little game. I really loved the art style. The audio was nice as well (I would however have loved for the flute to have a more "flutey" sound.). I especially like the spatial effect as I passed the sound sources like the spring.
I wasn't really able to finish it - are we supposed to repeat the melody? Because I'm pretty sure I did that, but nothing happened.
@gaming-night Ah, thanks! My hearing is not as good as I thought it was - I had the melody at cvbnvxv. Will give it another shot later!
Nice approach to the concept! I really liked the neon aesthetics, and the music and sound effects fit in quite well.
A nice game :). The artwork is beautiful, the story is cute, the changing moon gives a feeling of dread, and you have juuuuust enough time to beat the game. I would have wished the controls would have been snappier (especially the jumps were kinda hard to control), and havin W for jump and space for pickup/drop really confused me. And it's really a pity you couldn't add sounds and/or music, as it really would have helped the mood. A great entry nontheless!
I liked the general atmosphere of the game - the music certainly helped creating the mood. Made me hope for a longer game with another level, more enemies and maybe weapons or so.
The enemies bleeding to death after I punched them was a bit strange. Mayber the character would have needed a knife or something.
Okay, that was fun :) The ...ambient soundtrack really sets the mood.
Thanks for playing and commenting everyone! We really appreciate it!
@matootsy The theme is mostly in the setting - you're "stuck in the (hyper)loop".
That was awesome. I liked that you have to let your dad die in order to save him later on. Took some time for me to figure out what to do with the goose though. The graphics were on point for a classic adventure, and the music really set the mood.
A very nice take on the theme. Good way to tell a story without really telling much.
That was awesome! One of the best entries i played so far. It's really fun swinging around the rooms and trying to go on a speed run. The controls were snappy and the levels challenging, but not frustrating. I love how many levels you made! The only hing I didn't fully grasp was how the rotating switches worked. Do I need a certain speed? I had the feeling that sometimes I had to turn them once, sometimes more than twice.
I'd really like to have some background music to go with the game, but that's just a minor wish to improve something already very good. :)
Now that was fun :)
Having the back-in-time mechanic be involuntary was a refreshing take, and the introduction of it put a smile on my face that didn't fade for the whole game :). The music also fit the theme quite well.
I also liked that the hiccup was both a way to solve puzzle and a hindrance. Waiting for the hiccup timer didn't bother me. As someone who suffers from long-going hiccups I've learned to deal with it ;)
I didn't get what I need th elollipo for, though. I beat the game without having it. A little thing to improve would also be the info bar - took me quite some time to notice that there were notes when an enemy hit me. but that's just a minor thing.
Nice idea! I found it quite hard, unfortunately. Having the water rise a bit slower would have still kept me on my toes but not have felt like I'm fighting a losing battle. Nevertheless, I still had fun. :)
This is one of the best entries I've played so far. The idea is really innovative and it's quite fun to solve the puzzles. The artwork is beautiful and the music is spectacular. The only little thing to mention is that it's really easy to miss the spikes because they are hard to distinguish from the background.
A nice, relaxing game - something to keep you busy while following the dialogue.I had fun :)
Nice and quite challenging game. I couldn't really figure out how to keep from starving, unfortunately. But overall, nice idea, and you managed to keep my on my toes
Cute theme, and nice level design. The music was fitting as well. What made the game harder than neccessary was the overly large hitboxes on everything - not easy to predict when you'd hit something. But otherwise really fun!
That was a really cool concept! I found it quite hard to control using the keyboard, but it was fun nevertheless. :)
That was really fun! Quite intuitive but challenging. I like the minimalistic graphics.
Also, a very innovative take on the topic. All in all, this is an excellent game!
I loved this game! The simplistic art style is very evocative and the music is really beautiful - creates a very serene atmosphere. I really liked to have every "stage" be a different game, and the ending explaining the beginning. The really short stages made this feel more like an interactive story than a game.
A very beautiful game! I would have loved it to be a bit longer, and some background music would really improve the atmosphere.
Nice idea, and well executed. I like the pixel art graphics :) A little background music would help to set the mood a little.
I think it would have been nice if your past self could shoot your other past selves, so I could set up a chain or something. But that's just me trying to game the system... Otherwise, cool entry!
That was a cool idea to run with the concept. Challenging enough to keep me on my toes (the music did its part too!), but not hard enough to be frustrating. The one thing i would have liked would be to not have to click the text input every time i had to enter a passcode.
I really like the idea of not being able to turn back (and still forgetting it...). I think a little bit of music would improve the mood greatly.
I liked the game; it put a smile on my face :). The graphics are nice, the music is really catchy, and the idea and story behind it is really cool. Like most people have mentioned, it is a little too hard though. The precise placement is okay for me (fits the story), but I think a little more time would be necessary. 5 or 10 seconds should do the trick.
