This game is so gorgeously stunning! And you threw in a level editor that's wondrously easy while simultaneously revealing how difficult it must have been to design these levels?
*stands and begins slow clapping*
Absolutely love the art. Love the concept. Bravo.
It's adorable! Though I can't seem to stop myself from scrunching my eyes, like it'll help me see the wee things.
Really like the concept =D
I kept missing the text because I was focusing on what resources I needed to unlock other things, would it break immersion too much to somehow disable clicking during his new thoughts?
At first I thought my decisions on what I was going to invest in were going to make a difference in whether or not I escaped, and got super excited about that. I don't know if you plan to continue on with the game, but I think that'd be an interesting aspect to see if you did =]
Nice clean art, interesting story. Loved it =]
I enjoyed the really boiled down mechanics of timing a turnbased rpg with cooldowns. It did get a bit repetitive, but as long as you keep changing the 'puzzle' each fight, should remain interesting. BTW Unity threw an exception after the bull fight though. Sorry I didn't catch the message on it.
Well done. Cheers!
Clean, simple, and fun. =D Well done!
How unique! It feels as though I've stumbled into a surrealist art piece, and am being welcomed to take part in it. I consider videogames an art form anyway (It's surprising how many don't), but this has a really cool feel that brings it closer to traditional art. Well done. Cheers!
Love it! Graphics are awesome, and I love the mechanic. Super fun! =D
Nice mood, lovely UI, and soothing music. Well done =]
Oh my! Its so adorable! Absolutely love the graphics on this. I'm amazed that you were able to implement such tiny graphics without making the gameplay impossible. I only wish the difficulty would have ramped a little more, you were able to beat all the bosses by standing in a spot and spamming the fire key. Love it though, the graphics really are so simple and gorgeous. I hope you keep working on it; I'd be thrilled if the levels just kept going down in a nice long tower.
Well done! Cheers!
Cuuute =D
Nice! Clean and simple. I like it =]
I really like this as a storytelling medium. It was really easy to get the little raptor stuck in a mid-jump animation, which seemed to inevitably lead to a platform glitch and him falling to his doom. Overall though, like the effort. Also, the raptor run animation was adorable.
I like the idea, simple and quite fun. Well done! =D
I really like it! Way fun =D
Nice concept =] fun little game to play around with. Really enjoyed the art style.
After you reading that its a representation of the frustrations of life, I subconsciously started spinning a woeful tale of this little dude's life: how after much frustration he found a menial and repetitive job that paid well but he didn't like, and how he eventually stumbled upon a diamond scheme that led to needing to murder his way out of trouble. I imagine it ends with him running the mob. I'm sure you meant things to be more metaphorical.
Well done. Cheers!
Love the graphics, but it seems that standing still and not doing anything was to my best benefit. Game design could use a little spitshine. I did spend a few hilarious rounds jumping completely off the building and laughing at his distraught 'nuuuuuuu'. =3
Really like the graphics =D
I like it! Nice and smashy. Lovely art. =3
Whew! That's difficult. Well done =3
Oooh I like it! Clean and fun =D
Like the game, enjoyed the graphics and the music; also really like the simple and clean nature of your website. =3 Cheers!
How soothing =3
Love the graphics, and the general UI layout, weapons are satisfying to shoot - well done. =3
I like the idea! It took me a minute to realize what was going on, but I really like the screen setup with the zoom-in! Only thing I'd suggest is to ease up on the bees to make it a little more possible to navigate them. If the mechanic is supposed to be 100% timing, I'd take away the illusion that you can navigate through the bees at all. I was able to avoid them a couple times, but for the most part if I didn't time it correctly, the bees unceremoniously ejected me, and there was no hope of navigating through them.
All in though, well done!
Awesome graphics. Takes me back to Skyshark. Can't ever get enough shooters like this. You certainly aren't pulling your punches with the difficulty either =3
=D I like it! Well done!
Lovely design, great graphics, nice music, all in all really well done =]
I like it! I thought it was broken for a moment when I couldn't change direction while moving, was thrilled when I figured out that it was the mechanic. I love these sorts of puzzles =]
I too love the look of it =D
The little robot is adorable =3
Like your concept, especially incorporating squares disappearing against their same coloured backgrounds.
Really liked the music, and think its a good start. I'm always a fan of a basic shooter. However, I think you need to balance the game design a little bit, all you have to do is sit on the side and spam the spacebar.
I really like the concept of a snake game telling a story =D My only suggestion would be to implement consequence, and made multiple levels with shorter sentences. For the first few words I was really excited and worried that I might run into myself, and knew that if I did I'd have to play it again so I'd know what it said. The concept is awesome, so I hope you continue working on it!
Hahahaha - I believe GUBND is the word END overlapping the word GUY. The word list really needs some preening, some words that seem like a great idea after so many hour of no sleep aren't really all that great. Also, a bunch of the letters later in the alphabet don't have a full set.
Thanks everyone for all the kind words!
I really love this entry =D
I've played it longer than any of the other games so far. Only managed 370, and have no idea if that's any good. But I'm going to pretend it is.
Only complaint is that the cursor seemed to stick to things. I'm not sure if that's part of the design - I noticed that the cursor could only go so far away from the player which I makes sense as design, but if the cursor has an intentional gravity or stickiness to it, I don't think its necessary.
Maybe my mouse just blows.
Aw man, its adorable! Lovely mechanics. Well done =D
Adorable =D
I really enjoyed the mechanic once I realized how it worked. Might have made monster noises while destroying the settlements.
=D I really like this concept! An MMO is a really ambitious thing to take on for a game jam! (At least I think it is, I guess I've never tried to build one)
I'd love to learn languages this way, I hope you guys take it further!
Hahaha, adorable. I'm sure it was a time issue, but I'd've enjoyed if it was randomly generated so I could play through more than once =3
Art is adorable, sounds are adorable.
Hoard of bears is scary.
Nicely done =3
I'm glad others are saying the things about the rocks, I felt silly.
I felt like this was going down a sad path akin to a Hook story, hope it turns out happily =3
Art style is cute. Smart move making them squiggle instead of being static, gives it more of an art style instead of it feeling like placeholder art. I felt like I should have had more friction with the floor, but I like the mechanic =3
Nice job!
Nice idea, would like to see it executed further =]
Thanks for your comments everyone! =D
As for the camera, giving control when local multiplayer is a thing might make for some troubles. I'm hoping that when I get something besides placeholders in there, I can be more obvious about which way the cubes are facing.
Hahah cuuuuute. I actually yelped screamed when the biggun' came after me.
Really like the concept, especially casting more complicated spells with word-like combinations. Unfortunately it seemed like the notes weren't always responsive, so I had to try multiple times to cast a spell. Also the second door didn't "unlock" either time I got there. Not sure if that's the end, or its just bugged?
I am the worst savior ever.
Game looks nice though =3
Running animation for the fisherman is cute. Jumps are a little high, though.
It took me a while to figure out how to attack (did I miss a tutorial?) if there isn't a tutorial, maybe post the controls in the description. =3
Combat is a little difficult, and its a long way to walk back to your first fight if you fail. Maybe the fights could either be easier or a checkpoint could be nearby so its not so frustrating while you're learning?
Graphics are adorable though, music feels nice. Like the concept. Well done =D
