Lots of potential here! This could turn into a unique rougelike experience. I did find it hard to know what some modules did but maybe that was me being lazy and not reading the code. My strongest complaint is that the drag and drop could be quite finnicky
Really neat game! While it can be a little overwhelming I enjoyed solving the puzzles and liked all the other elements of it. Deserves more ratings for sure
My nomination for game of the century. Breathtaking soundtrack, stellar voice performances, and a captivating story full of twists and turns. Sadly I got clipped into a house just before getting home and couldn't escape. The controls are unwieldy but I'll excuse it as being part of the charm. I love seeing games like this in jams.
Great fun! I found it a little difficult to direct the cowboys exactly where I wanted them to go but that's probably a tricky thing to perfect anyway.
@jamison What number was your turning at when it just wouldn't work, 50 or 60? there was an issue as you described that I thought I fixed. I agree that there's not too much incentive to go fast other than the slow increase in speed that comes with a winning streak.
The car is actually not 3D but a sprite stack generated from a voxel model that was generated from a standard 3D model and I'm happy with how it turned out.
@jamison Magicavoxel can import polygonal 3D and export as slices so it's a very easy process.
I found the problem with the steering. The fix I did was to clamp the stat value above the point that the steering would stop working. The problem was I did the clamping AFTER the stat got applied to the car so it was basically doing nothing. I *think* the rules allow this kind of fix after the deadline so I'll probably update the game.
I enjoyed changing my orbit but found it a little difficult to actually avoid anything. Good job on the orbital prediction line, I have tried and failed to create something similar.
I couldn't get into the other levels but the gameplay was more interesting than I was expecting!
I enjoyed this! A lot of the time the puzzles didn't require use of the main mechanic so I ended up brute-forcing the beginning puzzles. The last few didn't suffer from the same thing however.
Very pretty game, it's very gratifying to turn on a light and have it show the way forward. Loved the mood.
The gameplay and audio are great, I feel like some more 3D art would have really made it awesome, but it's good. The leaderboard is great too.
Same for me too, can't access it
The swimming locomotion works really well I think. I found it hard to find the observatories and couldn't figure out how to charge the batteries from there however I think there aren't enough VR games like this. Good luck with ratings.
Never played a game like this before. It was really fun using my head (physically) to dodge obstacles although I'd worry about my neck after a long play session. Good luck with ratings!
I encountered UI issues (often the option I clicked wasn't the result) but I liked this! made it 78% before a lack of fuel got me stuck on the systems screen
I don't mind a slippery game although that combined with high gravity makes it pretty tricky to control. Really liked the whole feel of this though, good job!
I liked the game, although I feel like some music and some more environment props would have really sold the atmosphere. The digging was also a little slow in my opinion.
I got more engaged with this than I thought I would, good job!
I like the atmosphere in this, really made exploration fun even if it could be a little tedious
Cool game, enjoyed trying for a new high score. Reminded me of old flash games in good way.
The lack of a tutorial left me a bit confused, but once I figured out that you have to be on one of the white circles to build things the game seemed really cool! Good job!
Really great, the hints for the controls can be a bit confusing as they're targeting towards a controller, but once you figure it out the game is simple enough. The start is hard but the game rewards you for making it past.
Fun calming experience, I found the controls to be slightly janky and the animal detection didn't always work but there aren't many games like this.
Very nice!
While there's not much gameplay it's a cute game and I can't help but like it!
Nice looking game! A few points I was confused about what I was doing wrong but that was probably intended so good job.
This is absolutely hilarious! I found the game pretty difficult although that's probably just me. Great job!
I was able to complete it no problems. Kinda feels like Portal or Half Life which is very cool!
Liked the setting but I found it really hard to land hits on the enemies. Good overall.
The levels are well thought out and fun to work through, some more mechanics would have made it really awesome though. Overall still really cool!
This is some of the most interesting gameplay I've seen so far. Sometimes the gunfire would sync with the music and I have no idea if that was intentional.
It got a bit hectic trying to defend from two sides at once while your ranged weapons were overheating. I enjoyed it!
Very nice! I found the start a little hard but once you master the movement mechanics they feel good and fun to use.
Really really fun! I love the mutations and how they stack and also stay after you die. Only thing I'd ask for is a sensitivity slider as the default is pretty high imo. Other than that, really awesome!
Beautiful looking game, although I ended up getting lost in the the incredible atmosphere and music that I didn't fully follow the story. Still really great though!
I liked this a lot!
Very good, pretty similar to Golf With Your Friends but actually with some more interesting visuals imo. I'm also just as bad as this game as I am in GWYF! Also gotta love the Suzanne heads. Great job!
"Press alt-f4 to close the game" :laughing:
The game is fun and the destructible environments are cool, I did find it pretty hard though
What an entertaining experience. I had no idea what was going on. You are chained to an egg and are falling down a pit.
Really interesting interpretation of the theme! I liked this a lot, although I feel some sort of feedback/animation when you're mining a block would help a lot, kind of like in Minecraft where you can see the block become more and more cracked before it breaks as you're hitting it.
Feels really polished and fun to play, thanks for submitting it!
Very nice story, really enjoyed it!
Very interesting game. As other people have said it's hard to understand what's going on.
Neat concept! I liked exploring my computer but I think the filesystem root is more like the surface than the deepest depths. Linux gang.
Really cool to see a DS game made for this. Sad there isn't much to do in it, but I really appreciate the effort here, plus the game looks and sounds authentic.
I liked it, very cool game!
The art style is so cool, and the gameplay while a little trippy at first is really awesome. The last level was especially challenging but I got there in the end. Great job!
Very cool game! The atmosphere is really nice, and the mechanic of dragging inside the line for the scanner worked well.
Easily one of the most impactful jam games I've ever played. The visuals and music work quite well with it, but I did feel like I bruteforced the first puzzle.
The art style is really nice, and the message is powerful. Great job!
Simple but works really well. Very nice!
I had fun exploring in this, changing the layout puts a fun twist on it. I wish I had something that showed my progress per level though.
@hilvon Thanks! If I had more time I would have loved to make the caves procedurally generated, I think that would have really helped with the repetitiveness. Anyway, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
@taigha Thanks for the feedback! I have been considering how to balance these two sides of the game, I may add an "exploration mode" that lets you explore with infinite lamp fuel.
I am a little wary of changing the games difficulty because it is quite easy to last long enough to get through all the pre-made cave variations, and after that the game becomes a bit stale so I would rather have the game end early than have it drag on and be boring.
Ideally I would have made the caves procedurally generated as that would solve a lot of these problems, but that seemed a little out of scope for this jam and I wanted to keep things simple.
@esosek I'm glad you like it! The music is just royalty free stuff, so that's why it's not perfect. As for the levels, you can go infinitely, with the goal being to get as deep as you can before running out of fuel. I've received mix responses on the games difficulty, with some people such as yourself being able to get very far with no trouble, while others struggle much more. Regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@chanandler Thanks! :smile:
@otresnjak Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Yes the RTX version is pretty demanding, I would recommend dropping your resolution down to 1080p to try it out as it really is very cool, even if it's a little broken.
Also yes this would be great in VR, perhaps I will make a VR version in the future :smile:
@zimny11 Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it! I added the different difficulty levels to help with the difficulty problem, but perhaps it's not enough. Anyway, thanks again for playing it!
@quoc Thanks!
@molpe Thanks so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Plays really nicely, also for anyone who doesn't know if you hit alt + enter the game will go fullscreen
Very nice game, simple but satisfying.
I do love the early FPS aesthetic but it may have contributed to how easy it was to lose my bearings.
That voice acting? Chefs kiss. Beautiful. Took a sec to learn the aiming of the throws but I adjusted pretty well.
Cool to see someone always putting out a VR game in these jams. Very simple yet very fun game.
It took many attempts but I successfully scored a point. Nicely polished, quite interesting, but I didn't understand the mid air control at first and when I did it was still VERY difficult.
Very neat idea! I had an issue with trucks just stopping any deliveries but I had a lot of fun.
Some nice fun here! I think I'd make the grappling hook reach just a bit further (or less distant ceilings perhaps?) and not have the player slow down as fast to keep some momentum going, especially upwards.
I've been a practicing dentist since I was 5 years old and I've never seen a more accurate representation of my line of work. There may not be much to this game but that grotesque appeal is so captivating... That strange satisfaction...
I agree, petting the cat is VITAL to this game. Nice little game, similar to my game except easier to understand.
Loved this, great interpretation on the theme and pretty funny. I think collision coulda been a bit more clear with the scissors but with the scalpel I was slicing people up like a pro
I didn't expect the ending! Very cool. I couldn't figure out what I was doing at first but would it really be a jam game if I could?
I thought it was gonna be a full bloxorz clone but the enemies turned out to be a really interesting addition. I'd like for there to be a bit more indication of the delivery theme though.
The bits I struggled with most was how slow it could be and how the graphics didn't really indicate gameplay, like what can be picked up with certain tools. Despite this I kept playing for about half an hour, I think the concept is pretty intriguing.
ooh how entertaining. I was lead to think C04 was more of a hints guy than required for progression so I avoided him for a bit, but overall piecing stuff together was a lot of fun!
Very impressed by the ship customisation system. From what I played of the game I found that taking missions never had any actual risk and could be played through very quickly while always turning a profit so I could probably finish the game without actually engaging in the gameplay.
I quite liked having to check the map to find where to go and where I was. After making my first delivery I disappeared, able to move but couldn't accept my next one.
Love this idea, mainly because I went for something similar. I ended up a bit confused with how it works and time pressured as a result, so the most valuable thing I gained from this is understanding how players of my game probably felt. I think i struggled with the controls more than the ruleset.
Cool atmosphere I think, I was a bit lost at first but once I figured out where to go, and the fact I could move the camera, I felt ready, but with too little time left.
Very polished and cool.
That was nice. Drone controls were quite satisfying
Bit fast to begin with but I settled in quickly. Very entertaining game! I question the tastes of whoever orders a fish bone pigeon pizza but who am I to judge.
Very cute game and similar to my own in some ways. I thought it was gonna be too slow at first but multiple items in packages was refreshing, in the end I felt most limited by the movement speed.
got all the endings, very cool game! well presented with a good atmosphere. lots to do in a single room
took a sec to figure out the rules (hills are good!) but i got it in the end and finished it. nice little puzzle thingy :)
this one turned out to be a favourite for me. full of charm and a cool use of the theme. good job!
oh very cool! really well fitting for the signal theme. i liked following the hints in the text to figure out what to do next.
there's a lot in this game for just 3 days. i found a few bugs: the bees. probably the attention demanding incremental game i've played?
oh really cool. love the lens effects! couldn't figure out what exactly sensitive to light meant in this context but i almost managed to contain it
love the silly visuals and audio. game itself slightly confusing and possibly started moving a little too fast? good work
this game does have a nice loop going on. getting stronger and going out farther and farther each time feels good. well done!
very polished for a jam experience. for the final objective i couldn't find the interactable needed to end the game for a while and i was trying to climb the radio tower
oh amazing! i did feel a bit limited by the photos and having to remember the dialog. maybe i should have brought my own notepad...
fun little experience! i saw the spelling errors too but those just make it feel more human i think. enjoyed the positioning as a random citizen too. good job!
oh this might be a favourite for me. incredible concept an well executed. partly feels like something i would make too i think? love it
enjoyed this one! is our poor rescuer only in a tshirt?
game has a cool look to it! not really much to do but good effort!
a little confusing. some nice presentation going on. it felt a bit like i didn't have much control over the enemies taking the mushrooms
love the planet shader! i found the game to be easiest when prioritising firerate in upgrades. rushed into getting antennas early and got doomed by not being able to decode enough signals. maybe signals reaching the bottom shouldn't punish?
very polished feeling game. cleanly presented. i wasn't sure if the purple obstacle was good or bad when i first saw it? i think i'd make that look more like the other obstacle in some way
yeah i got confused at first too, but i figured it out! theme well incorporated into gameplay and the story was cool to see too. good job!
loved this one. strong presentation, only took a second to get used to. ui felt very nice to use. ran away from some gunfire in my direction and didn't encounter any trouble after that. good job!
great atmosphere and provocative decisions! on the first screen the mouse cursor wasn't visible but i definiely enjoyed this one
couldn't get past the main menu :(
