Cool concept, very addictive and fun! Colors on the field are pretty weird, started to hurt my eyes after a while and sometimes it's hard to see figures at the glance. Also music is cracking for me. Levels are good, had a blast! Would love to see this polished.
Cool little game, had a laugh or two... or three :D. Music, setting and graphics match very well. Good job!
Nice characters. Really lacks sounds and effects for digging tho.
Awesome game! Outstanding in every aspect! Puzzles are good and satisfying, mechanics are fun, graphics, story and sounds are very fitting and good. Would love to see hotkeys for resetting variables and tutorial for picking things up, didn't understand how to pickup keys until i've read controls on game's page. But that's just small QoL things. Good job!
Style is neat, but game is mostly about waiting for fuel to refill and clicking one button x times. Overall gameplay is too slow for my taste. Log messages are nice tho.
Great game! Really liked the vibe, overall visual and audio design is very good. Voicovers are phenomenal! Killed the boss in 5 or 6 hits, could be a little tougher fight. Controls are a little sticky, i think making character respond faster would be better. Still, really fun!
Cool element selector, but game sadly lacks everything else. Nice character models tho.
Doesn't work with 16:10 aspect, can't see half the map. Or there's just invisible wall where you meant to go. Can't play it either way.
@redhermit I'll get you a screenshot later, but point is i was just watching unicorn falling down the first time thinking it was a cutscene or something. Later i restarted and saw that there's a man on the edge of the map. Some restarts were wasted trying to get the controls, but i managed. I can't go left because of invisible wall and i can't go right, because my screen is over, i can kinda see dropdown starting but can't navigate it offscreen.
@redhermit It works now, thanks. Nice idea with physics hooman dismemberment, damage sound was pretty funny too. Sadly lacks better level design and more mechanics, i almost always could just drop down ignoring everything. Death mechanics is pretty obscure to me too, i lost all of my body parts and still lived and then just died after something. Lost body parts can also affect gameplay somehow, that would be fun. After polish can become a fun physics arcade, good job.
**NICE**
Fun and stylish, all minigames are easy to pickup and tie well with the story.
Movement speed is too slow for my taste, also mining works weirdly. Graphics are fine but music is too oppressing.
Fun concept, and story, lots of bugs tho. Somehow clipped below the level in jumping level, had to restart the game. Some attacks while fighting were going right through the enemies. And then they killed me, but somehow i won anyways, enemy HP wasn't even zero, dialog just started and let me through to another level.
Didn't really expected more levels and different genres after the first one, pretty fun experience. Liked the animations (acid death especially), but music could be better. Intestine level was a bit bigger than needed and lacks any directions, almost got lost. Good job, anyways!
Pretty fun concept, good graphics and music. UI is lacking a bit, i didn't understand that pizza stock was resuplied at first, there was no effect and number was in a corner. Good job, anyways!
@fabula-rasa CapitaRex probably died from heart attack while fighting such a loyal communist :hammer_pick: Thanks for the feedback!
@gamedevtraum Actually you're supposed to battle boss by recruiting workers, but there's a bug that lets just outright kill him with sickles if you want so :D Now there's multiple ways to get trough the game, i suppose, brute path and charisma path.
Intro was good and set the mood. Nice overall vibe, but controls are challenging and sometimes unrensponsive. Also couldn't find audio settings, music was a little too loud for me.
Can't download it, no permissions :(
Great idea and visuals but controls feel very clunky for me
Cool ascii, especially in the hub. Mouse bug really turned into a nice feature. Sadly couldn't launch level 5, nothing happens on click.
Art is fantastic and music backs it up, but gameplay is too repetitive. It is pretty frustrating to just sit and stare at the screens where you can't or don't want to do anything, over and over again (looking at you, completed portal screens). Got to the third world out of interest, realized that now i have to waste even more time each loop and dropped, sorry. Anyways, had my fun with it, pretty fun idea, just doesn't quite work.
It's pretty fun to blast hordes in the back all around the moon and don't get overwhelmed at the same time. Upgrades keep it interesting till the end. The only problem i found was audio lagging closer to the end of time, maybe something to do with optimization and number of spawned enemies. Good job!
Solid snake action. Great controls, great music, great art, great theme interpretation. Very fun overall!
Fun for a while, but you only ever need one miner on each resource besides coal. Pretty soon heat doesn't present a threat as you don't need to do anything, just build more miners if loss becomes too high. UI is unintuitive at times. Also, not a fan of being able to pickup resources from all over the screen.
Artwork is great, but gameplay is lacking
Boring gameplay, nice grandparents
Great style, want to fix my washing machine rn
The art is fine, gameplay is basic, the story is cringe, сори
Сова прикольная
Controls are clunky and unintuitive, classic wasd scheme would feel a lot better. Upgrades don't do much. Timer for getting a new upgrade or debuff is unclear. Demon bang table funni
Terrible graphics and gameplay, sorry. Just not fun.
Pretty basic gameplay and it is boring to grind with no payoff. The art is cool and idea for theme is pretty interesting, but it could be executed much better. Перевод хромает, кстати, stop breeding nerds for answers.
Looks interesting, intro art is great, but the game was too laggy for me to enjoy
Fun for a few minutes, progression feels nice when you get good items. BUT inventory lacks ability to see stats of the collected items. When you retry game starts to break, especially when you die to a third boss, he doesn't despawns and harrasses you again. Enemies and items stop spawning after retry too.
Boss design is cool and idea is interesting but gameplay is confusing and music hurts my ears
Very nice platformer/puzzle. Gameplay is fun and keeps you engaged, constantly adding new elements to the list. Reminds me a lot of old flash games. Voice lines when you bump into something were funny at first, but quickly became frustrating because they lock you up for no reason.
Cute art style. Controls are clunky and i struggled with them a lot. Wiwiwiwi
Good artstyle, mediocre game design. All of the minigames are pretty basic and boring.
Fun concept, but some sounds are too loud compared to others and together they sound horrible when there's a lots of protesters
Great art and music. Tho controls are clunky, camera is not helping and everything seems to move too fast. Also i'm constantly getting stuck inside of objects and platforms
Thought that this game is stupid but after learning that he-gassen is a real thing feel enlightened. Thanks for a history lesson. Could use a little more feedback when doing things right or wrong, as was already said
Great game, had lots of fun. I didn't even noticed that there were a map top-left before i read the comments, but after a couple of tries i pretty much learned layout by myself. Though it would've helped if it was somehow labeled.
Feel like if it had an option for auto-camera the game would be better. Pretty relaxing otherwise
Cool idea to harvest something that shields you by being there. Sound is too loud. Got quickly tired of pressing "E" every time, some other way of harvesting would feel much better.
@alex-de-la-cour Thanks, we're flattered :)
Upgrade points carry between days, it's just that you only can spend extra points that exceed the target for the day. So if you collect 12 points with a target of 5, you'll have 7 points to spend, and if you still have unspent points, they will carry to the next day (only for upgrades, you can't collect target points for day 2 in day 1)
Sorry we didn't made this clear enough!
@tricky-fat-cat Thanks! I don't think I understood your question. We didn't use any render targets. If you are asking about a general optimization pipeline, it was as simple as turning off expensive features, not using unnecessary high-res textures, and watching tris count. Unreal mostly did everything for us ;)
Cool game but sad. Also sometimes you fail because of bad RNG
Cool idea, but robot stuck up in furniture a couple of times for me and i had to restart.
Great idea and implementation! Long restart times were the only thing that was a bit frustrating. Also, in one of the levels, my decoys were a bit exposed by the time officials came, so if it's not already a feature, this waiting time would be a cool motivation for the player to keep the build stable.
Cool puzzle, although didn't really like the color scheme and repetitive melody
Great game! Really would love a space for returning cars. You either wait until end of the day to give their cars back or have to cut into line of new customers. Also after timer ends it kinda becomes a drag to play with so many cars to return and no time limit. Otherwise really enjoyed both type of levels
Great game! Kinda slow while you wait for all the attack to play, would love some way to speed it up
Really cool concept, didn't understand how to play at first but got the hang of it shortly after
Cool concept, would love a way to move and stack boxes so i could see the destination without taking each one in hands
Loved the colorful clowns 🤡
Parcore WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Looks like this for me on Vivaldi and i can't interact with windows on the bottom half
Otherwise cool concept, loved the deleted files percentage at the end 2023-10-04 03_21_11-CN=Microsoft Windows, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US.png
Can't play it
Cool concept, but i somehow won and lost at the same time in level 3 and game got stuck at the lose screen
Nice style but game is lacking, cool for your first attempt at games and coding i guess
Nice idea, feels nice to control the legs. Got frustrating at some moments, like when you touch tiny people just a bit and they die. Also one time managed to crush somebody by lifting the leg. The only thing I would like is some audio settings, got hit with the music being really loud :(
Wonderful style and simple but fun gameplay, nice job! Intro is top notch, just for that you earn all of my stars
Cool level, it was fun to look for the needed items, needed to specifically search for where to go only a couple of times. Also at first thought that it is a bug that you can't jump or leap, because animation plays but nothing happens. Would be great if controls would appear only after gaining the ability
Love the premise, love the style and love the movement. Solid entry! Hearing those tiny kittens cry is heartbreaking tho :cry:
As there is some extra interactable machinery it seems more steps for compiling the kitten were planned, or they are there just for fun?

@cgraen There's a redist installer at this location if you still want to try it: "Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us" Probably should've mentioned it somewhere, ha-ha
Damn... I wish I was a beaver... Great game! It was really cool to see and use all the attacks yourself after you beat the boss. Would loved if there was boss hp bar, but it adds tension, I guess. The final boss fight drags for a little too long, but it's cool Second boss theme is an undisputable banger, enjoyed it very much! Didn't understood at first that you deflect acorns in the direction of your mouse tho
Cool enemy designs and narrative. Technical side of things - not so great. Starting from veeeeeeeeeeeeery long fade animations in the menu after clicking a button, to veeeeeeeeeeeery long intro sequence, in which you can click to continue, yes, but then you can't read the text and it types out very slowly. Got impatient at the middle of it and chose to skip the rest without reading. Would be much better if click firstly typed out the full text and only then skipped it. Would loved if ingame texts didn't interrupt gameplay so much by pausing the game, maybe if they would appear without pausing, but when there is no danger to the player? Seems like HP bar doesn't work? If that thing in the upper left is a HP bar at all. Got to the attic, but can't understand where to move next, enemy in there doesn't seem to be killable and I see no other way out. Is it the end? Anyways, nice take on the theme, kudos!
Great name for a game! :D
Couldn't figure out at first why I was losing, I was filling the wrong room up, ha-ha
Sound design is great and really adds to the chaos around. Loved the physical interactions, like everything flying around when the dragon is landing. In my opinion the game would be better without the pixel filter, it doesn't add to the atmosphere, only makes it hard to see things.
@pschichtel Sorry, I don't think we can provide either :(
@protohere Yeah, we were surprised too when it worked! We only edited other people's models though, I'd have preferred to make them all myself, but there is just too little time...
@d-demetori Really cool! We were thinking about putting the toys into balls in case we couldn't place them as is, but it ended up working
@stuckne1 Added a hints section to the description, you can try nudging or resetting the machine. Glad you liked it anyways!
@flatgub Thanks for the information! Welp, it never triggered for anyone on the team, the only thing I can do for you is scan those files and swear on it. Which file specifically triggered it for you?

@100th-coin Great feedback! Thanks for the video, it makes it a lot clearer how we can improve. More so, our team really enjoyed watching it and other videos on your channel, good job. The toy models are 3rd party, sadly, but I dream of having a dedicated 3D artist to fill that gap.
It's a real pity you got that random crash, we haven't had enough time to implement saves. I brutally beat up that LEGENDARY II for bullying you, hope that makes you feel better. Glad you had fun playing!
Great entry! My inner perfectionist rejoiced while I was mopping around, it feels nice. At first I was thinking "Cool game, if only it had a full house map" and you delivered. The music is nice, but gets repetitive quickly. Loved the sounds for each particle though, cool touch. The upgrade system is great and you can feel the progression, but I think it can be improved balance-wise: at the start you always go for max pwr and wide sacrificing speed in the process since there is no timer. I'd easily buy speed upgrades if they cost less than the important ones (200-500), but instead, early game feels kinda sluggish (but meditative, I guess). Also separate max speed and acceleration for rotation feels weird, if you upgrade max rotation more than acceleration rotation will feel really floaty.
Had lots of fun playing, thanks!
