the graphics were great, and while the game was buggy at the start, not letting me shoot or look around - turning off fullscreen and bumping up sensitivity managed to fix it! Excluding gam jam jankyness - the game is amazing!
I loved that! While it was a bit short the mechanics felt great and the music was lovely :) Would love to see more of this!!
Took me a while to get into it, but oh boy when I did this was real fun! I couldn't figure out what to do after reaching the palace, so I ended up glitching into the walls over and over to make it fly to the left... and I won?! Game jam jankyness aside, this game is great, and the mechanic has great potential if polished :)
cool idea - clean excecution. simple but fun!
I really liked this game! Fun, unique, and innovative! The music and sfx were great, and while it took a while to get used to I ended up loving the grab system too.
My main feedback is there wasn't much variety - once you started you've kindof seen everything - but this is a game jam game so of course there'll be limitations.
Overall - great game! Really enjoyed it and the mechanics were fun :)

this'd make a great mobile game! honestly, same feedback as everyone else - great job on a first game! definitely keep polishing this one, and it'll make a great play :)
While the game is lacking in varied gameplay and content, the graphics are AMAZING! Sadly, at the moment the game is essentially a button pressing simulator with fancy graphics, but I love the idea and theme - so I definitely recommend you develop this idea in the future!
The game is good, but it takes ages to get into it, as there is no tutorial on what you need to do to survive. Apart from that, this is a brilliant jam game and the idea is great! Just needs some polish.
The voice acting at the beginning killed me - amazing XD The game itself is okay, shooting is a bit odd but functional, and the difficulty is pretty damn balanced! The ending was interesting - gave me Birdbox vibes. All in all good game!

I really enjoyed the game! Great idea, execution and puzzle design. The lack of audio is disappointing, but hey it's a game jam so that's no biggy. Overall great job!
I loved the game, interesting story and fun art style. I enjoyed playing for a while and trying to get each ending. I also followed the link in the credits to the podcast Riftwake, and I strongly recommend - it's a phenomenal listen!

Now the link is fixed - I love this idea! The art is phenomenal and the gameplay, while having it's fair dose of game jam jankyness, is brilliant and I'd love to see more levels of this. Only criticism is that the music was pitched wayyy too high and my ears were destroyed, but apart from that - amazing! ktfa.png
Like the game, however I couldn't really play for long given the sheer jankyness of the camera. I love the graphics though! Gives me cube world vibes. Overall great execution and with a bit of polish this could be great!
God I'd love to see this continued - the concept is great! The art is fantastic and the mood/music is done absolutely brilliantly. Only bad thing is that it ends, damn you jam time constraints!
Overall, great job and I can't wait to check out some of your other works
the narrative of this game is especially impressive given the time constraints. love the idea! defo try to expand on this and release future versions because i want more!!!
this is incredibly underrated. this is simple pure fun - i love the idea and it's amazingly executed given the time restraints.
My only gripe is the colours on the obstacles were unpredictable, so you don't know if that new green thing coming at you is about to give you a hug or rip your face off XD
Overall, amazing. Good job :)
@Fedora Thanks! Agreed, the balancing is quite off- I'll try to fix that in the future if I develop this game any further. Thanks for the feedback!
@caseyh @blipbloop @miltage thanks for the feedback guys! And agreed, some oomph in the shooting and pew pew effects would be amazing :)
Not much gameplay here, but the mood and atmosphere is bloody wicked and makes this game an experience worth trying - even if it is only for a minute or two.
Awesome game! I love rope mechanics and you nailed them. The mood and artwork of the game is beautiful too. A solid, polished, and fun game.
great game - the opening cut scene is hilarious and the gameplay is hectic and fun! My only gripe is that when you're pulling the weights up you can't read the other variables.
The idea of this game is really cool and original, I just think that due to game jam time constraints, the execution was a bit janky. However, the basics are well done, the sound design and art is beautiful, and I'd love to see this idea expanded on in the future!
Took me a while to understand, but it's surprisingly fun and addictive once you get into it! You created a simple idea and expanded on it beautifully.
The first thing that struck me about this game was the incredible audio design - fantastic job on that!
While the game takes a while to get used to figure out how to play, once you do that it's fantastic - especially for a jam game! My only gripe with the game is that finding items can feel a little unintuitive and the low o2 levels in the early game feels slightly tedious.
Overall, a solid, fun, and well-put together game. Good Job!
@floratoby oops! thats fixed now. thanks for pointing it out!
@freamdev I've added some of the most important controls in the game description, thanks for the feedback
@chyrion Thanks for the feedback! In retrospect, I may have made the game a bit too difficult haha, but I agree part of the appeal of the game is probably how hard it is. The respawn taking you back to the beginning of the level happens when you pick up a revive from a crate (upside-down cross thingy) but I didn't communicate that to the player at all, damn you time constraints!
i love this, hilarious concept - however the gameplay is a bit repetitive after a while. Good job though!
Good job man, this is great! I shat myself when I first saw the hallucinations lmao, great job on the dissolve effect too.
My main piece of feedback is that the amount of sanity given back when standing next to a light is incredibly slow to go up, and it seems as if you're powerless to do anything about dying once you've gone deep enough. Perhaps instead of instantly losing, reaching 0 sanity could turn all the lights out and cause hallucinations to start chasing you down - which means you'd still have a slight chance of escaping with the right amount of skill and luck.
Regardless, I loved the art and music, and the sound design was solid. The mood was spot on. Good Game!
great concept! simple, but really well done - i'd love to see more of this!
This game has potential to be a great puzzle game! Loved the last level, gave some good challenge and needed some thinking. I love the style and the game feels fantastic, although perhaps the controls could be polished if you're gonna expand on this in the future. Cool stuff!
The sound and graphical design is impeccable. Wicked stuff. While the game play leaves a lot to be desire, that's understandable given its a jam game. Good stuff!
I really enjoyed this, ended up with a score of over 8000! Love the simple game play, and the visuals and audio were really well executed. Solid stuff!
Good stuff! Loved the graphics, the game play got more fun as I played and the concept is really cool. My only gripe is that after a while the game becomes a bit repetitive, but I can't fault you for that given its a jam game. Great job, love it!
I shat myself after I died to that first enemy, love it! Big fan of the mechanics and mood!
I love the idea! - just found it because our projects have the same name! My only issue is when moving the rubble gets in the way and I found that annoying, as well as the mining feeling a bit slow. But, I love the concept of a game like this - just needs some development and work.
@chuchugeralt Thanks for the feedback! Yeah falling through the platforms is definitely a bug - but I can't seem to recreate it myself right now - I'll have to look into that lol.
Beautiful graphics, love the style although it was hard to see where to go for me at times. Shooting was a bit wonky, and I wish that some enemies could have a bit more depth to them, but for a jam game this is excellent. Good Stuff!
Fun game, love the concept and the execution is great. I love how obstacles turn more transparent if they're not an issue - really improves the game play experience. Would love to see some sort of expansion upon this!
Mood and audio are awesome, for some reason I found that jump noise incredibly therapeutic. While the game is frustrating when you fail, I absolutely love it - definitely something I'd play in my free time. The concept is fantastic, and the execution is even better. My only gripe is the the movement feels too fast sometimes which results in me dying - so maybe the whole movement system could be polished a little if you expand on this at all. Good Stuff!
