I really like the hand drawn art style:smile:. Good job!
Great work! The only problem I felt that the time resetter was not clearly indicated. There were a lot of item on the ship and at first I was thinking that to be one of those items only later searching for a while I found that the character was spawned beside that only.:smile:
Nice idea! Fun to play.
Wow great game! Fun to play. The only think which I think could be better was the beam control. The beam sometimes jumps from one side to another because of the free mouse move. You could have hid the mouse pointer and just control the beam based on mouse rotation or something like that. Anyhow, great idea and gameplay.
First horror game I played this time. Good job!
Good game! The game mechanic was solid. The audio was also great. Overall good experience.
Simple yet quite interesting. Good job!
Good game. Simple yet fun to play. The audio was also good.
Wow:smile:...pretty unstable. Very much follows the theme. Good job!
Wow..Simple lever physics game. It was pretty fun to play. Good work!
Simple yet quite interesting. Good job!
Wow! Great One. Not sure how much it fits the theme but overall it was very interesting game. Specially the audio:smile:
Overall the game was pretty good. But were the controls intensionally so much unstable?
Wow, really great graphics. The art game mechanic is also good. Overall great work.
Well, good idea. I felt the game to be a bit difficult. But overall it was fun to play.
Overall the game idea is great. Its a bit difficult. But after a few tries it became somewhat easy.
Simple yet fun to play. Good work!
Wow good game! Understanding the game at the first place was a bit difficult but after understanding it was very interesing.
@mvasko2 Firstly I really appreciate your descriptive review.
Yes, I also feel that the first tutorial part should be skippable. That I will surely do as soon as possible. **Done**
And yes I made the lava move so fast because otherwise, I felt it was becoming too easy. If you say then I will decrease the lava speed a bit. **Decreased a bit** Yes, the game is a bit difficult to understand I admit. You have to play it a few times to understand it properly.
See…
When you get the first component you can bring up the pause menu by pressing escape but that will not be a useful pause menu. Because that will not actually pause your game. But this pause menu is needed for your next component collection.
The next component is your save component. Once you get it you can go to the “Buggy” pause menu and save the game. So, when you again start playing you will have those two components. And thus dying, again and again, will not make you lose all the components.
The next component will be the “Rectified pause menu”. After you get this component you can pause your game successfully. The game will be actually paused i.e the lava and the timer. “But your save system will be corrupted”. This means that you can’t save your game now. And if you die now you will lose all your progression till this point and you have to start collecting from the beginning. But an autosave is performed and the save up to this point (i.e up to these three components) is done. So, pause the game as quickly as possible before lava eats you or the timer ends. Now calmly follow the instructions written at the bottom of the screen. Actually, it tells you that you have to copy your saved file which is present at location( depending on your system )( that path will be written ), and save it somewhere else. The file name will be “saveData”. Because once while you are in that stage i.e. three components collected stage. The game will keep deleting the saveData file if it is present in the path mentioned above. So. to continue from that three components collected stage you have to, again and again, copy the file from the place you copied that saveData file to the game save path( which you must be knowing till now ). Like this again and again try to collect the fourth component. Die….copy(your secure location)...paste(game save location)….play….
And as soon as you find the fourth component..congrats...you will be redirected to another menu where you can play this game only without any unstableness and by collecting coins you can try to beat yourself in highscore.
Hopefully, this explanation was clear.
@mvasko2 Happy to hear that you could complete it.
Yes I fell that the design for explaining the gameplay is not good enough but in 48 hours I could design this.
I will try to develop the design in future.
Thank you for the feedback @huntthewumpus. Hope you were able to complete the game because I tried to explain the game as much clearly as possible but still some ambiguity persisted.
The gameplay was overall fine. There could havve been some more visual feedbacks such as death animations, hit animations etc. But overall good work.
The block placing system is a bit disturbing. But the game is overall fun to play.
