This was a super fun game! I loved seeing how all my past mistakes would compound on top of one another to make the game more challenging. Graphics and music were super simple and cute too, great work!
Super neat game! I think it might work really well in a mobile setting, so that might be something to think about :) because I'd sure as heck get it. My only issue was, as some others have stated, the difficulty scaled up a bit quickly, but overall great work!
This is such a unique idea! I loved whirling around and trying to hit the balls. My only comment is that at times it was a bit hard to see whether the car was in the air, or on the ground (probably because of seeing the 3d world through a static 2d camera). Overall, super goofy and fun game, I'd love to see more of it :)
Great job! All the sprites and sound effects fit really well together! As @jojopalambas has brought up, 31 seems to be the max highscore, unless you could regain battery (maybe a feature you could add in the future?) Overall great work though!
Solid game! I loved the double use of the theme, playing in a while(true) loop, and rotating around in a loop, nice job! If I were to change anything I might alter the names of the upgrades slightly so its easier to understand what they were actually upgrading (but that could also just be me!). Altogether, super well polished game and a great submission!
Great use of the theme, and even better use of the film narrative to tell it under! Awesome work!
Same here! Can't get the web build to load :(
Wicked game! I loved how you could see the looped code executing, so you could have time to react to the events before they occur. Great job!
Loved the aesthetic and story of this game! Sadly, I also got the GO glitch on level two :( As for gameplay, I would've appreciated a way to repeat the initial dialogue about each monster, because sometimes I felt like I was just doing guess work. Besides that, great work!
Really unique game! I loved the way each instrument contributed to the total sound of the group, it made me want to continue playing and see what they all sounded like together. Great job!
Really funny game, loved the questions!
Got stuck on the Unity loading menu and was unable to play :(
Super cute game! Definitely had a steep learning curve, but it was super satisfying after you mastered it :)
Even after beating the game I'm a bit confused, but I enjoyed the "meta" humor!
Couldn't get your game to load on web :( It seems super interesting though!
Really cool art style! I loved the concept of having to balance yourself between hot and cold. Personally, I would've enjoyed a little more instruction on what to do, but overall great job!
Loved the concept for this game! Additionally, all the graphics were on point (especially the reset animation, although maybe it was a bit long?) Altogether a good game that talks about the repetition found in everyday life.
Nice job! Really loved the aesthetic!
Interesting concept! Moving back to new positions definitely adds a lot of challenge to the game, but the enemies respond a bit too quickly so it sometimes just feels like an insta-death situation whenever you tp. Overall, I really liked the idea, and would love to see you expand on it :)
Couldn't find the page sadly :(
WOW. This game hits differently. You've not only succeeded in making an aesthetically beautiful game, but you've found a way to interweave an even more beautiful narrative. Additionally, by choosing to have the central conflict between the grandfather and granddaughter not have a clear right and wrong, you've added a lot of complexity to the game, and made the ending even more special. Great work!
@tyler-law you can actually change your mouse sensitivity in settings :) Thanks for your comment!
@fatsheep Ah! Im so so sorry you had to wait for that! I meant to add a quick little voice line there, but ran out of time :( Thank you for playing though!
@galse87 Ah! So so sorry! The timer was the last little feature I didn't get around to adding, so sorry you had to wait for it! Thanks for playing though :)
@galse87 if I ever come back to this game, I'll add the voice line, just for you <3
Cute simple game, would've liked a little more feedback on death, but overall great job!
Great job! I really struggled to complete the jump on level 3, but other than that I had tons of fun playing :)
This is hilarious! I really loved the minigame that occurs if you can't shut down in time.
Great, funny, little game! Good work!
A solid tower defense game, good job!
Loved it! Amazing visuals and audio. I do feel like I was slightly confused on the controls worked, even after playing it for a while, so maybe some instructions would've been appreciated? But overall, great work!
Cool idea to tie the player's health to their ammunition! I found the platforming sections quite difficult, but maybe that's just from my lack of dexterity. Great work though!
Great game! The enemy AI is a bit simple, so running around in a giant circle works for quite a while, but I loved all the powerups and various chasers. Amazing job!
Great use of the theme!
When I started I thought to myself "hmm, this is fairly easy, I could probably do this forever....". It took me a second to realize that that was the point!
Hey, I don't think your HTML5 link is working by the way!
Super funny idea! I loved it :)
@filipe-leal There are speed options in the main menu if you'd like to go faster :)
@sir-syko Interesting idea! Originally I wanted the player to be able to turn at forks in the road as a mechanic for choosing responses, but that sadly was a bit out of scope for a one-person team :(
@chriiis88 , @oleg-bone , @midblue Thank you, I'm happy you all enjoyed/understood it!
@mikado @kongo @coderaurus I think in general the game is more akin to a visual novel than the traditional definition of a "game", but I'm happy you enjoyed the atmospheric elements!
Thanks for playing y'all!
@steffo That was actually the original plan! It was just a bit too much for one person to do though :(
@ycb21
Your comment made my day! I'm interested in creating games that push the medium in one way or another, so it's always exciting to read people's reactions.
Interestingly enough, both of your suggestions were decisions I was on the fence about:
Initially, I didn't have the "delay the inevitable" line in the story. I added it last minute for emphasis. I was afraid the story was too subtle or undertoned. That if someone couldn't relate to the content, then they wouldn't understand its theme. I guess I was wrong about that, so I'll stick with my gut next time.
Regarding the ending, I really wanted to respect the space the game created for the player. I thought that by having the car idle I could give players the power to decide when they've processed the experience and were ready to move on. The slow-down ending does this, but at the expense of a less "cinematic" resolution.
Thank you for taking the time to play and your kind comment, I'm happy you enjoyed it!
And I promise there's a lot more to come.
Great core gameplay loop! Still a couple bugs here and there (specifically, I clipped out of the walls a few times), but that's expected of a game jam game. But overall, great work!
I loved your positive spin on the theme, great work! It's slightly difficult to play on trackpad due to the left/right click dependency, but I don't think I can think of a better alternative. Overall, super cute and fun game!
Great artwork and overall atmosphere! My only comment is that it would've been cool to see how much time I had left each morning, just so I could see how much faster/slower I was getting.
The link to your itch page didn't seem to work for me :(
Great work! Nice interpretation of the theme :)
Outstanding work! Everything about the game was just so well thought out and polished, I loved playing it :)
I'd love to see a multiplayer version of this! Well done :)
@100th-coin and @ingo-holle the color pallet was actually chosen to be red/green colorblind friendly. Hence why there isn't any green!
Amazing game! I loved the different hacks and unique drawbacks that came with them. I did find it a bit difficult to move some of the letters, but other than that, great work!
