There was a problem with text, I don't know if it's just me or this is a general problem but all the button texts are just "button" and all the writings on the walls are "Loading".
Also the spike graphics are a little bit blending with the background so I accidently hit them without seeing them a lot. But I like the wall graphics and the animation of the character and such.
I wanted to try the game as it looks like a similar game to ours but the link is broken. Please fix the link.
Quite a unique twist on resource management as you have to gather gems, but watch out for your oxygen and while doing so you have to leave yourself a viable path and resources for you to swim up as well.
Unfortunately I was always too greedy to be able to left myself a way to swim up, so I always failed but still this is one of my favorites in this jam.
I just got carried away and gave this one full score on every account. Stylistic visuals and sounds, nice story, great twist on the theme. Also great usage of game mechanics to make player feel like a detective. Great job, congrats!
You find an interesting control mechanism here. The game maybe needs a tutorial for players to get used to it. I think I understand what I have to do but still couldn't beat the boss as I could only flail aimlessly :).
Still you have a good idea here. Find a way to teach the mechanics better to the players and maybe use animations to signal it better when the characters attack will start etc. then you'll have a very good game in your hands.
Cute and trippy is all I can say for this one. This is a very simple game but cute graphics with overall trippy mood kept me in the game for a long time.
Nice mood and has a great message. Maybe it could show much stuff I collected but I don't think this is a necesarry just a suggestion I guess.
Nice use of the theme, very interesting idea. Weirdly I expect to be able to meditate while playing like matching my breaths to the games but playing the game needed much focus than I anticipated to my character detached himself but I remain focused :). Overall nice game, good job!
At first I didn't get it. I'm pretty sure I still don't get most of its mechanics. Still great exploration of the theme. Overall mood is awesome. My only grevience would be controls though it might be intentional. Still I would like to control my character a little bit easier.
I love the game, story is funny, graphics are old-school good. Especially liked the intro graphics. My only gripe is controls are a bit unresponsive also I wished there was some kind of visual feedback when I switched between the characters. Other than that, great game, good job!
Thanks for the lovely comments. Unfortunately we could barely finish the game just in time so we didn't have much time to balance or prepare a guide or tutorial. But our biggest sin is we couldn't add enough game feedback to players. We had planned to add small icons on dwarfs to indicate what are they up to for example.
The game definitely needs work but comments like these gives us real motivation to work on and make it better.
Thanks for all the great feedback!
If your dwarves just standing still is probably a bug, something went wrong in their AI and they just stuck there. But also it could because they need food, sleep, for fun but there is not empty building to go, so they stand still and wait. This is our fault for not putting enough feedback for the players. We planned for some but we were run out of time and have to cut most of it. I think right now they just gave out a sounds for being hungry, sleepy or bored but it is easy to miss also not enough as you don't understand which dwarf that made that sound.
With different attack options this seems like a potentially intesting game but I couldn't understand how to break the floor pieces. It always looks like happening randomly. So I couldn't get too far unfortunately. With smoother animations and better explaining of how to play the game this could be a very good game.
Great idea to use the theme for an ant colony simulation. Nice visuals and sounds creates an overall really relaxing mood for the player.
Lovely graphics and fun gameplay. Overall great game. At first I was expecting this would has a infitine level but I was able to get to the bottom of the level. Now I'm thinking after each time I get to the bottom maybe there could be some upgrade options or new characters, etc waiting for me outside of the well. I don't know. I love the game and I think this one has a real potential to continue working on. Please do.
Ah yes, I think I might somehow deleted the last drop site, so you can't finish the game. Sorry for my carelessness. Althought you have reached the last level and if you could finish that level it was going to continue from the first level. So you are not missing anything.
Also, all of you are right, we should have put much clearer instructions but we didn't have any energy left at the end of the deadline.
