Incredibly small game, but what's there is nicely polished and the message at the end hits. Graphics are nicely done, music is good, and the overall mood is palpable too. Impressed you included an options menu and two languages. Well done!
Nice one! It's a simple concept, but I like the mechanics and nothing felt overly unfinished. Could perhaps use a little more sound and some more particle effects and such for polish, but good stuff nevertheless. Loved the black hole effect!
Not bad, I like the take on the theme and the graphics are nice too. It's an incredibly small game, but it does feel complete. As a first point of improvement, I think an indication that you're in the wrong zone would be good, perhaps in the bar or the character itself.
Quite a good game, loved the animation on the player character, and a great twist on tower defence + tetris. Main criticism is that for me the mechanics of the buy menu felt a little unclear. Ended up completely decking out my tower after the first wave before realising how to exit it.
Well, I'm thoroughly confused by the mechanics and the aim of the game, but nevertheless I loved the rich aesthetic and mood the game put you in. The art and glitchy effects are excellent too.
Interesting concept of crushing enemies indirectly and the procedurally generated (at least it looked to be) world was a nice touch. Could definitely use some sound effects to make it a more visceral experience. Additionally having to reload the whole to retry definitely hindered the player experience.
Best graphics I've seen thus far! Intro title sequence was nice, and the detail of progressively more destroyed items was appreciated. Sound and mood also great. Obviously it has some playability issues that have been discussed already, such as finding doors or understanding progression. Still, great job!
Excellent puzzle mechanics, quite innovative had me playing for a good while. Did take me a bit to realise you could drag the force elements while they were active. Main area for improvement would be spicing up the graphics I'd say, but overall it's a nice package.
Nice concept and the effect of the satellites breaking is satisfying to watch. Good definitely use some ambient sound and/or music, and a bit more lighter as it was quite difficult to see.
Definitely played well with No Time for Caution blaring in the background! :D
Great game! Had a palpable mood to it, a nice dialogue system, and good lighting/shadows. Sounds were great too, though it could've used more ambience and variety. Well done.
Game is hilarious. Love the penguin model and the absolutely dorky physics. Graphics aren't too bad either, and the boppy music contributes to the overall feel of the game. Nicely pulled together.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Glad that it seems people are enjoying the experience overall, even if it's carried a little by the graphical effects.
Completely agreed about the jump speed, @lakrits @real-flamingicecubegames @tigerfinch . I must have got too used to the physics during development, but playing it back now it's pretty ridiculous. Also a shame it felt too easy, have been burnt by making games too hard before, but clearly tuned it too far the other way this time.
@bootak Glad you enjoyed it! Don't worry, the game is meant to be a "hell loop" of sorts, so there's no exit beyond looping to the start.
Fantastic graphics, love the retro aesthetic! Gameplay is nice, though I personally found the second level to be quite finicky and punishing. Great work regardless.
Excellent game! The mechanic of managing health with sanity grew on me over time and it was fun watching the interactions between the party. 3D graphics are quite good, particularly appreciate the party models and their unique states for different sanity levels. Only negatives would be the rougher looking UI, lack of music, and slightly repetitive gameplay loop, but overall great job!
Game looks beautiful. Impressed with models and environments, I appreciated the extra touches like the picture-in-picture of contestants and the commentators. Certainly has its glitches with collision and AI and is a very short game, but graphics certainly bolster it up.
I love the look of the game, although for gameplay purposes it's a little too disorientating as there's not enough distinction between background and foreground shapes. The audio for destroying for landing a shot and dying is also too abrasive compared to the background music. Certainly potential for to be polished into something really nice though.
