Love the concept - It frustrated me, but in a good way. Did not understand how to play the first 2 goes, until i actually tried the mouse button. Highly addictive, great work!

Great fun game! I loved the cats. The game finished before i stopped playing which is great, it means its fun! Esp love that you thought of details like the full sink XD
Extra points for making 3 games! Found the heater one a bit confusing. was not sure what the win/lose condition was. the shooter game was the best one, but I had to turn down the sound at the end, and the jumpman one was a great simple idea, however i would love to have seen more juiciness :) Great submission - definitely memorable.
Great idea, impressive physics sim. Loved that you made a HTML5 version too. Could have done with a bit of a tutorial, and there was no 'win' condition that i could see.
nice game - very clean and polished. loves the game mechanic and the art and audio/music.
Love it, score 2140 - great unique concept. For sake of criticism, was very small on my 4K monitor and hard to see.
great art style and controls. but i could only find one planet??
I could not figure out what to do, and died really fast. :(
Great game, been a long time since i played a great sleuthem game and i loved it. only thing i would add is some feedback on the mission icons for the clicking. took me a bit to figure i had to doubleclick. Top effort!
Bahaha! my nephew wanted our game to be in a similar vein. "too many b!#$%es!" - i told him it was inappropriate... looks like uncle scott was wrong... lol
So i played 2 days of this. I will say for the genre i think it was well executed. Not my kind of game, but well executed. Writing was very descriptive and colourful. I think i might have learned a few things I didnt know i needed to learn. Congrats on a brave entry. Could have done with more art variety, but as you said your artist hurt their hand.
Clean presentation and game, embodied the theme well. I did not feel like there was a method to the game, just click a tree? not sure how or if there is a strategy.
cannot play. signed up to gamejolt, then got a forbidden error.
@dutssz thanks, have now playerd game :) great concept and execution. had trouble figuring out if i had to make the hammer man do something or if he just did? but Graphics were great, sound was great (what sound there was) gameplay was easy to grasp and fun. Nice work!
Great homage to the reality that was win95. Loved the concept and execution, loved the attention to detail with the BSOD and the start menu that works and all! Great entry :)
Graphics were awful, i loved it. XD Game idea is solid, camera angle could do with some work. But i think this was a great entry.
Great game and presentation. Controls appear to be set by default for ?French? keyboard layout? Have to rebind keys to US keyboard or game is unplayable. Most polished entry graphically and audio wise i have played so far :) Stopped playing after i accidentally trashed magnet and it sucked me out trash chute into the void.
Great game and art style. Had to stop playing in third house, i managed to get to a door but was missing the key and could not go backwards to get it. Great entry. Inspiring.
i almost gave up until i figured out it was a keyboard game (couldnt get past the menu) respect for making a native HTML5 game. great concept - like a simcity for waste. great complexity. i imagine with more time you could have really polished this. Nice effort :)
Great game and graphics! Great fun concept. At first the springyness of the grab annoyed me but it really adds to the difficulty of the game. Loved it, one of the better ones i have played. My top score 5850 :D
Great concept, really gave me a sense of claustrophobia. Little frustrating that touching any wall was an instant loss. Otherwise, great effort!
Thanks @tiberiusuciu
thanks @panda i had a great deal of trouble with the controls. its my first 2d platformer. i know they are still not perfect, and i appreciate the feedback :)
Thanks @tophats64-games :D
@minibobbo @seannewman22 @panda something not mentioned is that stickman will try and anticipate when you are trying to stop and will apply a decel. if you tap the key opposite to the direction you are going when or just before he lands he will stop pretty much instantly. perhaps this will help? Cheers!
@seannewman22 hey Sean, thanks, yes we made a point of creating all art and audio during the jam. Really appreciate the appreciation man! :D The art is the work of 3 ppl: Characters - Tobias Burwood, Environment - Scott Purcival and Jay Purcival
Thankyou so much everyone for your great feedback. We knew the controls were an issue going in, and we thought we had sorted them out, but I think it's a case of the old 'dev getting godlike at their own game' regardless of the flaws. The last level is a prime example. My nephew can do it in the par time. It took me 5 minutes to nail the final jump. Definitely going to write my own physics next time. Unity physics is a bit too squidgey for me. 🤣
@kirb so stoked you noticed!! XD
@godsboss do you think its allowed for me to tweak the controls at this stage or is that a new feature and not a bug fix...
@nnnikki @devharts @godsboss @anna-petrova @kirb @awix @ignacio-zamorano @andrey-ugolnik @cercle @bekovski @drabbning @jamesolivermusic @sqrrel @pla @mister-kweh @minibobbo @wrexialmt @seannewman22 @tophats64-games @panda @frontlinesaint @roberth332 @tiberiusuciu OK, I think I got everyone! I have uploaded a new version where the buggy controls have been fixed. By no means do I expect a replay from anyone, but if you do happen to try out the new controls can you please comment on if they are better or not? Left old(original) version up in the links too. Thanks!!
@baconinvader thanks for the feedback. totally respect your decision :)
Great concept. Some of the art is better than other pieces i thought. Some pretty brutal platforming. I liked the surprises :)
Great entry.
Hey - not sure if you know but you have no game link?
Great concept and art - for a first game looks really polished. Also took me a bit to find the shop. My only concern is the app logos looked a little too like the real thing, and the game is HUGE filesize wise (which is hilariously ironic) Otherwise - awesome game! EDIT: Oh! Felt it needed like a reticle for the mouse.. lost my mouse a few times. :)
This game was GREAT! Best game i have played yet :D Not sure if its the nostalgia or what, but i feel this game man. Thanks for the experience XD
Great concept. Shame i couldnt play it at full screen, game comes up very small on 4k monitor :( Would have loved a story to keep me engaged, but game jam obviously :) Great entry. Impressed you made an exe for a java game.
Great puzzle game, clean presentation. Largest flaw? game is too short. Great work
Great game concept. Intuitive design. I had a bit of trouble hearing the dialogue due to the music volume, and i was not quite sure what 'dropping a parcel' was - or how well i was progressing. Parcel throwing mechanic was perfect. I really had fun trying to slip those parcels into the tiny gap i left on the shelves :)
Great music, clean and simple game. It made me a bit motion sick... so sorry i could not play it more. My top score is HIGHSCORE! XD
I would love to play this, but worried if i update java it might break my unity builds... :(
Great concept, great execution. The audio and art are perfect for their genre. The animations and gameplay are clean and polished. One issue only, seems harder to see off bottom of screen than top. Marginal, but noticeable. Great work!
This game has been really well done. Super levels of polish on all gameplay elements. Couldnt win it myself, but still really enjoyed the experience. Thanks!
Art and audio on point. Only frustration was that the slugs were unrelenting and at places impossible to pass without taking damage. Great Job otherwise!
great game! i could not have conceived this game if i tried, it feels really unique to your culture and personal experience. i loved it!
