I love the art with those cute but not so innocent Koalas (yes speaking of the dressing scene here ;)) . The existential scene is creepy and fun at the same time, well done. The little games are an excellent idea,good job !
I love the ending, it's so wholesome thank you! I hope you get enough ratings, you deserve them. I really liked your game, it set a melancholic yet beautiful atmosphere. Good job !
Very well polished ! It is really an awesome game, it was really fun and interesting to play. I loved the art and the atmosphere, well done !
I really enjoyed playing this its so fuuuuun to play ! Love the gameplay,its really easy to take it in hand!Good job !
Cute game (little gore when you fall xD), with a fun mechanic. Nice music and art, good job.
Very well polished game, well done in making this gameplay fun and particularly relevant, since you fight against a hacker.
Good job on the ship! I like exploring asteroids. Thank you for the hints about where to go, it allowed me to understand the structure of the ship quite fast. Overall you did a pretty good job!
It's pretty hard to keep that baby alive ! I never found out how to feed or hydrate them, had a hard time to see if some buttons would do something or not. But it's an intriguing game, and a really intesting atmosphere.
Aha, funny intro. The game is quick and quite easy once everything is set up, a bit too much.
Great game ! Nice to see a fun coop game :D We really like the idea, and the art is really great, reminds me of Hokusai's Wave ! (So sad we could'nt give you stars on this category :'( ). Really impressive !
I tried to reach the dots to refill power and everything but i never could, they never got closer. I dont understand what i have missed :/ Very nice atmosphere though.
It's a bit rough on the edges, and the lack of music and sound design doesnt help.But your game is actually a good idea.
So lovely ! (and deadly :joy: ) ! We really enjoyed this game but unfortunately, we didn't have any music or sound :'( (Some errors appeared in the development console about FMOD not being initialized). The art is amazing and the game was fun :D
I had hard time with the plane's control. But the game is so cute and chill, i love the art. But really the plane's control are not intuitive and quite rigid, plus the dropping of water and shooting where it's hard to see what we do.The rest of the game is quite nice, it was a good idea, and a pretty good job overall.
Excellent idea! Its very fun to play, i like the art. I got super annoyed by Windows's sound after a while. Sometimes the commands for the game did not respond well, instead it happened in the desktop. Great job anyways !
This game felt quite frustating. I found all the differents items over 20 days, managed to avoid panics attacks, journal is full with infos, and i do what it says, but its still not over? I watched the playthrough,i did everything and i just gave up after a while. Its also weird how the items appears and don't appear, it even felt at a moment as if i had no control over the game, eyes opened and closed right away. Good idea with the journal, it helped a lot (though as i said i just got fed up after a while, items were hard to find, felt like i had no control and repetitive, ok, but 20 days of that and journal was full, and i always managed to stop panick attacks but eyes closed again immediatly after...). BUT : art and audio are amazing, you did an excellent job with the theme. Pretty good overall. Too frustating for me, i really dont get why it didnt end.
Art & Sound are really amazing !! The level design is really interesting (but I have to admit that the last double-jump is a bit too hard... I couldn't do it in time :/) And I couldn't save on the first two checkpoints once we unlocked the double jump (a bug ?), which was kinda frustrating :joy: Anyway, great game overall :D (We played on version 1.1 if that can help you with the bug)
I love the art and the retro touch. I found the game quite difficult, as eggs often falls right on me, but overall the game is fun. Very good job, congrats !
I had a problem : when I loose I can't click any of the buttons, so I can't restart from the last fight which was kinda frustrating. By the way, the game's cursor is the Windows' loading one, I don't know if it's realted or not/ The game is great though ! Really interesting combo mechanics and really good UX ! However I find that the last fight is too hard, I can't figure out how to damage them with only one action per turn (enemies always heal, poison and deal damage in one turn, so I can't both prevent my death and attack them with a single action :/).
I was a bit lost at the begining, but once i got what i needed to do it was fun. good job with the fps.
Nice platforms. Short game, but in such a short time and alone it's impressive. I could have used a feedback when you are hurt, but overall well done.
Jumps are a bit hard, i got stuck in walls sometimes. At first i didnt understand what i needed to pick and what was hurting me. Its a bit weird how some of the assets are clear and some others are blurred (like the hero). Music is nice :)
Impossible to play with an azerty keyboard and for some reason mine wouldnt change... Few things i managed to do what fun. Music nice but a bit heavy and i think it doesnt fit the tone of the intro. But the art is really nice and its a very interesting game with lots of things to do, thats requires the player to take the time to understand it.
art is really nice, its a good puzzle game, more dynamic than what i would have thought. It took me some time to understand completely the core mechanic of the game, so i appreciated your little tuto at the begining, it helped
I liked the intro, i would have wished that the art was more asian inspired, like the audio and intro. Some character like the one with the knives tend to get stuck in walls and everything. I managed to fight the boss and win (i think, since i returned to the main menu). It was a good idea that the character had to prevent everything from dying.
Wow this is really impressive ! Clearly one of a kind, it is really original. The music and art is just great. Congrats !
Really impressive work in a short time span. The art is absolutely amazing. And it's nice to see a narrative game ! However, I'd like to make a few remarks considering the story (WARNING ! SPOILERS AHEAD) : - Considering that the good ending narratively happens when the main characters do nothing... So it's kinda of frustrating and hard to see the point of the story : we don't really understand what you are trying to say, why is this particular narrative path the "good one". - The fact that you drop hints on how the universe is working (especially with the good endings and the photos) is nice, however I feel that they are too unintellegible... We have enough hints to start thinking about how it all works but not enough to fully understand... Even if I tried all narrative paths, I found myself quite lost in the lore and couldn't really make sense of it. (However you clearly wrote a lot of good lore which is really impressive ! So I totally understand if you didn't had the time to clearly explain it) - I read in the comments that you wanted to make a more complete version of the game, if so maybe you can try to add more diverse choices. Maybe you could try to phrase them a little bit differently ? (I especially found the choice "make a decision" to be unprecise) - Overall, this game is really impressive ! Congrats :smile:
Really impressive (nice to see an Unreal Engine game :D) however I found th game really difficult : there are too many monsters at the begining and we can't even take the time to understand what's happening. I had to do 4 or 5 games to understand fully how the game works. But even then it's really hard to handle everything at once. But overall it's really good and promising ! Mixing building defense and attacking monsters is a really nice idea :D Also, if you used free to use graphics, you should still mention the authors in the game description (I'm not sure you did :/).
I like that you used Schrodinger, it is a good variation on the theme. The game isnt hard, pretty simple, but a bit fast. Nice graphics !
This game is amazing! I love the main character's design. Really impressive rendering for a Unity Game ! I didnt understood that the level at the top was a level and not the end, so i fall down and couldnt get up again :( Great game and nice level design. The music is also super cool.
art is nice, it really set a scary atmosphere. I liked that you have to read the notes to understand what happens and what to do. I gave up pretty fast though, the level design with the ghost in the air was a bit confusing and i got tired of redoing it from the start. It was nice to play though, good work.
Fun game. Wasnt expecting a demonic visit in the ice cream shop xD ! I had some trouble with the control of the riffle, but overall its quite well polished and nice to play.
Nice game ! Kinda hard to understand how the different mechanics are working though. Especially it's kinda hard to stay in a small moving shadow area. Great level design and the core mechanic is really well coded ! I really like the idea that you don't die instantly in the light. (Hi from the ENSIIE btw :D And thanks for your review on our game \o/)
For someone who just started to make games on Unity its very impressive, congrats! The game is simple, but efficient, its nice to play it.
Aha je vais mettre mon commentaire en français alors ça va me changer xD C'est un petit jeu très sympa. J'ai joué a la dernière version et j'ai trouvé le jeu très dur au final. J'ai pas arreté de bouger toutes les plantes tout le temps, de les arroser toutes les 5 secondes (j'ai jamais trop compris si je les arrosais vraiment comme il n'y a pas de retour clair sur si ça fonctionne ou pas), d'enlever les parasites. Beaucoup de choses à faire. Je lisais le commentaire de Togimaro au dessus et en fait il m'est arrivé la même chose : sur certaines plantes elles sont très très compliquées à bien placer (à un moment j'ai arreté de les changer de place je n'ai jamais trouvé un endroit où elles étaient bien), ce qui m'a obligée à changer de tool entre la loupe et les gants tous le temps, ce qui fait perdre un temps fou et est assez pénible à la longue. Ausi, j'aime beaucoup l'ambiance chill. En tout cas, c'est un bon jeu, bien joué :)
Bacterias are cute :) It reminds me of an episode of a TV Show where people were watching an entire civilisation growing and diying in their fridge. Nice craft system, rather well balanced and nice audio. Well done ! I noticed the second brocoli when i restarted was costing 21 bones instead of 1.
The art is beautiful. I liked to trying to balance the ecosystem :)
@dylan-fries Thank you so much for your feedback ! Really interesting input :D We had a few ideas to balance the narration and action phases a little bit better but they are all kind of complicated to implement. Not sure we'll have the time to fix this issue unfortunately, but we'll try our best !
@gustavo-christino We did add checkpoints in the Post-Jam version ^^ We had a little bit of problems with the restart button and only managed to make it work the next day : you can continue from the phase you lost, keeping the teamates that were still alive. Thanks for the feedback btw !
@tobiasw There is more feedback and the possibility to restart not from the begining but from the last phase you played in the post jam version if you want to give it another try !
I really like the art and the atmosphere of this game. I would have appreciated to know how much suplies or infantery was available to use though, and some events to understand better what happend during the night, because the timer can feel a bit long. Nice audio too !
I like the music and the art, they are chill it is nice. But i find it very hard to place the pipes together, specially if there any holes between them we lose the water. I had a really hard time rotating the pipes and matching them together, there was always holes between them. It would be much easier and less frustating if they could fit together when placed near.
I liked the art, its kinda cute. I also liked the dungeon atmosphere. The game has an interesting mechanic, but is a bit too slow for me. Overall, pretty cool game :)
Really nice art and audio! I love the dog he is so cute with the bulb! I was weak i looked at the hints, i thought at first i was supposed to light all the lamps at the same time xD The strong point of this game is really its atmosphere, you did really great with it ! Impressive work well done!
Nice atmosphere. Didnt understood why i died the first time, and indeed a loading bar showing us how much charge is left could really help. Its also quite hard, i died pretty fast trying to figure out where to go.
Quite fun. Its the same idea as our game, but in a rpg, i like it. It feels a little repetitive after a while, but it's a good job overall !
It is a very original concept, and an excellent variation on the theme. I like that we can choose what to present. Very good job !
I like the pixel art! Great atmosphere and audio, i just have a few remarks : the sound when you pick up something or interract with something is too loud regarding the other audio elements, and sometimes i had "wolf are attacking the deer" with no actual wolf attacking the deer,except one time they appeared after, i couldnt see them attacking the deer. But this is a solid entry with a great atmosphere, well done.
Awesome art. Good characters, the game is well polished. But i'm not sure what the choice of dialogue brings, it felt a bit frustating, in the end you are always "forced" into one choice if you want to continue. In the end, excellent job, very well done.
I got lost... Maybe a map to show were your little boy is might help. I picked random things hoping i could get an upgrade, knowing what to pick and what to except would also be nice. But the art is nice, it's a nice game overall. Well done.
I really tried to win the first combat, but i fear it is impossible, due to the fact that it's incredibly hard to put yourself in front of the beast and give it an attack. A shame, because i was really interested in the story and wanted to know/discover more...
Nice sound design, and beautiful art! It was surprised it ended so fast. Its a good idea and fits well the theme, and interesting lore which i would have appreciated to see more developped. I was left hungry for more.
Nice game! I got stuck when i ran out of woods, but well done with the craft system.
Really Cool game! I got really invested in it. Great job!
It is a funny game, the space attack seems to have a delay and the characters tend to get stuck in the walls. Gameplay is quite simple, but it works, so well done :)
Awesome VFX ! Coupled with the great artstyle makes a really impressive game :D Congrats !
I like the music,it sets up a really peculiar atmosphere. I wondered if i could die at some point because it was starting to feel a bit long. However, I like how the game have its own "seasons".
Pretty fun, but quite hard sometimes. I could have used more moss. Way more. Good idea the sound of the helicopter. Good job.
Comands are a bit rough and jumps are bit hard to take in hand. Art is real nice. We got stuck because we couldnt figure out what happened to the mushrooms, tried to follow them but did not find them. Great job anyway !
I love the pixel art! I found the game really hard and too long, it took me 10 minutes to get the first body to my house and its so frustating when they wake up and see you. I also noticed that the people lurking around tends to always be on me (on the bottom level, the 3 on me, all the time), making it super hard to move the body, i had to wait that 2 were asleep, the other looking away but he could turn around any moments and i wouldnt have the time to hide. Also : the audio is really amazing! Overall it's a really interesting game, a bit too hard and long to move the bodies.
I loved the sound design ! Simple, efficient, a bit cringe, good job.
The voice was very creepy, the flowers are nice.
Nice idea ! Audio is kind of funny, specially when you shoot. Speaking of that, it is very difficult to hit the foxes. And most of the times i can't exactly know how the chicken dies ( i mean i get it's the foxes, but i can't see how they killed him, i dont know if it's clear? ). Also, the build is 5.2Go, it's pretty heavy.
Really beautiful art & music ! The controls are nice too :) However I'd like to make a few remarks : - The first attack freezes my game temporarly when I click, which made the game kind of hard to play. Maybe you're instantiating too many game objects at once ? Not sure but maybe you should use object pooling instead for the attacks ^^ (totally understandable that you didn't have time to do it in time though :joy:) - I really like the art but the colors made the game kinda difficult : the lack of contrast kind of tired my eyes personnaly, and might make the game hard for people with color-blindness (not sure though). - Anyway, really nice game overall :D
Very fun game ! I really enjoyed trying the upgrades to see what i liked more. Good job !
Good idea to do the opposite of whats usually excepted : not to kill the ennemies ! I had some trouble in the level with the first flying non ennemy, sometimes i just couldnt move the second stone. Nice music too.
Fun game! Well done for making it in python.
The game has a good story,lacking a bit of interaction indeed. I coudlnt figure out how to sign the letters however :/
Nice game. Art is cool. Gameplay is fun but a bit too repetitive for me. Couldn't figure out what are hang up to the wall though.
The art is really impressive. Atmosphere is awesome, its really a well polished game. I really enjoyed playing this game, and discovering the amazing graphics. Great job!
The combination of both 2D and 3D graphics is a bit weird i think. I also got annoyed by the fact that we still hear footsteps when we die. Other than that it was fun to play, to learn the paterns of the ennemies and to discover the boms and everything.
A little music would be nice to keep it in the mood :) Art is nice, i like the beach atmosphere. You seem to somhewhat hold a grudge against tomatoes? I didnt understand at first that the sword and little pink dots were actually from me and not the ennemies, and when i did i started to have some fun with the ambient chaos, because i understood better what i did.
I really like the winter atmosphere of the game, art and audio set it very well. The game is in the theme, but it lacks a bit of content, story, goals to achieve ect, because what i enjoyed the most was to explore this dark forest :)
I love the chicken's sound! Nice game, i sometimes struggled with the camera centered on the chicken, i lost the character for a few seconds.
Really intersting idea! This was quite fun to play. It fits well the theme i think.
I love dodos. Thus thank you for your game. Controls are a bit stiffs and i think the ground is too big as the ai in single player tends to get stuck at the over end of it (well so do i to be honest). Well done for a first game jam though :)
I really love the art ! Story is interesting too i want to know more and thats probably my problem i keep talking so i juste die all the time, bit frustating for me who likes to know the details of the narratives. Had a hard time figuring out the energy system so i had to read the hints, i made much more sense after.And i just realized the search is random (good idea)and that i got very very unlucky in my first try. But really you did great at creating a post apo atmosphere. I just got 2 endings and still trying to figure out how to get the others though.
Nice job for your first jam ! It's an interesting mechanics, its not easy to figure it but once i got it it was quite fun. I would have appreciated a bit of audio but again, this is impressive for your first jam, well done.
Love the art! I love the idea but im a bit frustated the game always crashes just after i start a conversation with anybody, so i could just see a glimpse of the cringe of these dialogues.
I love the intro! Its so cute i just want to hug the fox! Art is very nice and the platform engine is very fun to play!
This is a very interesting game, i liked trying to figure out which seeds are poisonous and which ones arent. Thanks for the tuto, its helps a lot !
I hate those goblins, they keep bothering me, they even managed to drag me down somehow. This game has an odd charm, thats for sure.
I am happy that i managed to pick all the water bottles, but i didn't know what to do after. The ennenies and the chracters sometimes diseapear in the ground, or i can get evicted from the ground and never come back. The game could have a more polish i think. Howewer, i like the ennemies' graphics.
Nice atmosphere! A simple gameplay, but quite polished, with some nice details, like the footprints.
