That was incredibly evocative. Fantastic job.
This is amazing! Fantastic job. Love this game. I died a few times unexpectedly (usually from shooting the lazer down, then having a dinosaur land on my head). Those moments were rare but not much fun. Still my favorite game I've played so far.
Great concept. The tutorial messages moved before I finished reading them. I'd love it if they proceeded from a button press (enter or something). It's funny that you put the controls on w, s, and c, making a very awkward hand gesture to control things, which seems thematically inline with the insanity of the situation. Cool!
Neat concept. Seems like the music might be bugged. It sounded like multiple versions of it were playing simultaneously. I got stuck on the third level. I tried multiple different combos but none seemed to work. I'm not sure why I can't combine some elements other than, well, you know, science. Would be cool if the combinable chemicals were different colors (like Oxygen being red) to make it more obvious what moves are available.
I played once to death, but afterwards things started appearing in the lower right corner and I couldn't get through the tutorials. I tried refreshing but it didn't seem to help. Looked neat for the big I played!
Cool stuff! Would be nice if things were more centered.
Great execution. It's a blast trying to throw stuff over your head.
Beautiful game and fun to play! It's not great at conveying gameplay though. The most menacing looking piece isn't actually bad (the red dot) and the triangles that are bad look identical to the squares.
Great implementation of theme! Definitely feels claustrophobic. I love the intro rocks being thrown down.
Love this game. It's SO HARD! I gave up after spending fifteen minutes on the reflecting arrows level with the key. I got close multiple times but couldn't seal it. Had a lot of fun trying though. I think the arrows probably move a bit too quick. They feel just over the limit of reasonable.
Very fun. Good job.
Great for what was there! I wish it was longer.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Actually, the stairs are just a series of colored quads. I'm really terrible with art, so I tried to build a game around my limitations, so everything is stock unity shapes.
I did use BFXR for the sound. The chip / robotic nature worked well with the theme, which was a great win.
Thanks for all the feedback! I really appreciate it! I'm glad some people like the ending but I understand if you find it confusing. It's intended to evoke a feeling more than conclude narrative.
Cool idea, it feels neat. Super difficult. My high score after about 10 deaths was 5. I think you have too much text up front, it makes the game seem overwhelming.
This is cool! I got through the game and the ending is hard to deal with (didn't feel comfortable choosing anyone). It's great that you were able to build that emotion. I only experienced one bug and it was not game breaking.
Cool! Peggle with rats! Nice job. Very difficult. I think you should double the available balls.
Coal coal coal indeed.
