I like it. The open map was cool and searching for the little birdies was fun. I did find the controls kind of clunky though. Did you ever try to swap the A and D controls to the mouse? Maybe that would have made the game too easy, I don't know. Good job nonetheless.
Fun puzzle game, except for the part where the baby got stuck inside a wall.
Great concept and perfect length for it. Really liked it!
The ending was great!
I liked the music and the cutscenes
It works well, but I felt like there weren't enough things to spend the points on. At the end I kept getting points and the amount of infected was going down, so I just kind of waited there and did nothing. There also weren't many choices to be made. I didn't ponder long on the things to spend points on. I was just checking boxes from a list. Except for the mild symptom people going to the hospital/home. That was an interesting choice which required some thinking and I wished there were more of those. Balancing this type of game must be hard, so props for taking the challenge.
The game desperately needs audio and I think the coral should disappear when you make bad moves instead of with time. Otherwise nice game.
Fresh and a good take on the theme.
Surprisingly good for having so few ratings. The game was polished and very calming. I played with the cool soundtrack and it fitted the game very well.
I really liked the infinite loop at the end.
It has a lot of potential. I think the biggest thing that's missing is a win condition. I got bored, because there didn't seem to ever be an end. Keeping the animal populations alive didn't provide to be too difficult either so I was just kind of idling there when playing. I also never felt the need to check the individual stats of the animals, because it was easier to just follow the total amount of the species. But if you keep adding features, it could become a great game. The theme was also used well.
omg i got sausaged
Way too easy. I didn't think controlling two characters added much to the game, because In most of the levels I could just run left and win. But On the positive side the audio and graphics were fun I did like the main idea.
Fun and polished, but a bit too difficult in my opinion. I felt like the first 15 seconds were easy, but then it turns near impossible with the vast amount of people in the audience. Although maybe I was just bad at the game.
Chill and cute. One thing that bugged me was audio starting on loop, when no plant had been planted.
@sayumeki Thanks a lot! I too noticed the rocks hitting the box, but I decided to keep it in, because I thought it adds a bit of humor/luck, which works well for the game in my opinion.
@n-o-games Glad you liked it.
@digitallimestone Thanks for playing and I do agree that the rocks should change their appearance more when they get hit. I guess I just didn't deem it that necessary considering the game is quite frantic anyways, but it would have made the game fairer.
@bigtinygames thanks for playing! I tried a few different difficulty progressions and ended up with the current one, but I acknowledge that it's not perfect.
@foursay yeah I originally had an idea to have the scissors betray you or something, but it wouldn't have made much sense in the context of the game. I guess their relationship will remain a mystery. Thanks for playing.
@thewinrawr Thanks. Originally I wasn't sure if I should make it go around in a circle or let it roam freely, but I settled with the former, because it made the game simpler and easier in a way. You also are able to flick the rocks fast with good accuracy, but it does require some practicing, which admittedly I've done quite a bit.
@duck-reaction thanks. I always tend to do the audio last when making a game so it's never great. I don't really even know how to properly edit audio...
@jason-woerner glad you liked it!
@dandala88 Thanks! What do you exactly mean with the shield being too forgiving?
@yorsh Thanks. Others have complained about the difficulty ramping up too fast as well and I have to agree. I used to have the difficulty reflect on the current score, but then ditched that idea, because it felt too punishing. Unfortunately I implemented the current difficulty system too late and didn't playtest it enough, so it is what it is. I think the cage is alright and it's supposed to require a lot of accuracy, because it gives you 10 points whereas blocking rocks gives only 1. I guess I could make it bigger and have it give fewer points, but I think that would take away from the satisfaction, because bumping the rocks in the cage would become much more frequent.
@yorsh Yeah good points. If I happen to develop the game further, I'll make sure to look into making the cage bigger.
@maniulo haha thanks for playing
Pretty fun. I really like the artstyle, but there could be some more obstacles and the music looping was noticeable and annoying. Good stuff
Terrific! I'm baffled by this game being made in only two days. I don't really have any complaints other than it getting a bit stale, when you get to know the traps, but still I'm sure this game will place somewhere in the top.
Very fun and original! I wished there were more levels or more variety in the levels, but still really good!
Cute but it takes too long to turn around.
Great!
It took me a while to understand how the game works and thought about just giving up but I kept playing because the game seemed very professional and I am glad I did because it got more fun the further I got.
@Jimbly haha I think I just got lucky
This game reminds me of the invincible snail that will follow and try to kill you for the rest of your life if you take the money deal
Pretty good. I really liked how both players played cards on a shared board instead of their own sides. Amazing artstyle as well.
I had fun. The trail was very cool. Biggest problem for me was the amount of pretty pointless levels. There was a lot of repetition and not many cool new mechanics were introduced. To be honest I have no clue how one could get stuck on a level, because they were so easy. I'm not sure if it was intended or not but you could kite around the screen to bypass all the rocks easily. Also sometimes the level ended even when I didn't get all the meat. Some difficulty could be added by creating some sort of timed moving obstacles or something.
I was doing fine but when the boss had like 10% hp left and he transformed I somehow got comboed to death in an instant. Very polished game otherwise!
I honestly think this is genius. Might steal this concept >:D
Liked the idea and look, but sometimes the cakes became immovable and I managed to score one point by pushing the cake to the side of table where the cat wasn't.
I agree with the previous commenter in the sense that it's way too long, but still ok.
Very decent. I understand that it is supposed to be a casual chill game but I think a timer based competitive mode could be fun as well.
Too slow but otherwise good
I didn't understand why I would use the negative cards, because wasn't my objective to raise the stats of the plants and then harvest them. I liked the idea of competing over the same plants though.
Amazing!
Really enjoyable. I thought it was a little too easy and different enemies would have been nice. Also very clever to make the character move towards your mouse instead of defaulting to wasd.
First I thought the game had bugged because nothing was happening but then I released how the game works and I was blown away. I have to assume you've toyed with this concept before, because it was so well executed. Nice job!
The artwork is otherwise so great that the black void was a little offputting. Also I couldn't find any other fish than the first 3. I think the upgrades should be more fast-paced.
I liked it but I think it could work better if instead of having to act fast you would just have to plan out the best route with time.
Honestly really fun. I think there should be some way to lose though.
Very well made
@mnikn Yeah I'm very sad that I didn't have the time to add sounds.
@Loig Yeah I knew it was a risk to make a multiplayer game because many will not get the chance to play it. Just hoping to get at least 20 ratings :D
@ipsl0re Thank you!
@cutesquirrel Thank you
@senso That's so nice to hear! I agree that the game desperately needs music and other sound effects but I ran out of time.
@Cobear25 good feedback!
@suchista Yes I agree thank you for playing
Cute!!!!!!
Great artstyle and good controls + gameplay. Levels couuld have had more interesting sections and the theme wasn't relevant.
Cool art but controls kinda janky
First I was a little confused because I didn't realize you have to walk through the gate. But then I got the hang of it and had fun. Nice game.
Very fun and best audio I've seen in a game so far. Few bugs though. The stamina bar didn't work and my carrot died before the health reached 0 :( Also it would have been cool if the growing tail of the worm had a hitbox as well.
To add to the other feedback I think making the mouse click an input when there is need for moving the mouse feels clumsy. I think the harvesting button could have been "E" as well.

@Salmoneer yeah it works now. Nice job!
I got a little confused because I could jump towards the first enemies and not take damage, but then I tried to jump on a tomato and died.
Very cool!
Last two levels were very well designed!
It's fun but it should get more difficult as you go on. I learned to ignore the enemies and stay below just two lightning strikes to fill my kwh. Also the shop should have more expensive items.
@smashcrate Yeah I get it
Great game. Loved the artstyle and the animations.
Really great. Just needs some way to heal as many have pointed out.
Really decent. The game should somehow become harder as you get further though.
I got 158!
Cool controls and concept, but there should somehow be more urgency to completing the missions and the music didn't play sometimes.
I got the science base but then stopped playing because I didn't know there was a goal
Solid game. I got a little above 2k points
5243 points. If there were more power ups this could be really great.
Fun game but I wasn't totally sure if the fast paced nature of the game fit the gameplay. At some point too many boxes come so you have no way of placing all of them inside the trucks so then you just start picking random boxes and shove them in quickly to press the button for the next car. I just think that the game becomes way more about speed rather than clever box placement which isn't what I find the most fun in the game. Great job anyways the game was very fun
So addictive! I spent way too long trying to get the cabbage
Really fun! I think the levels' difficulties were a little inconsistent, but that's my only complaint
Cute and great potential. I found a pretty easy strategy of pushing the ball to the goal, which made scoring kinda easy. Also the timer would be great.
Seems very good, but the enemies never tried to punch me they just stayed idle. I'll give you good points tho cause I see the greatness in this
Very good. I think there should be a score system or something but that's my only complaint. The graphics and audio were great as well.
@hacknick yeah that's the end. It's supposed to quit the game but it didn't function as I imagined in the web build...
@profhatchet @john-saba thank you for the comments! Really made me smile :)
@floralvikings @nckpark Yeah the circles part was maybe too difficult... You have to flash the circles and they'll disappear but every 7 seconds a new one spawns. Thank you for playing and commenting anyways!
@vincent7 Thank you!!
@spica yeah I had big plans of creating timers and health bars and collectible items and such but didn't manage to do all that. Nice that you got to play it with a friend
@olenikimid hahahaha great comment, I'll spoil the fact that there's only one ending sadly
@proz yeah the game is kinda confusing at times. In that screen you just have to read the symbols' numbers and then change the code at the bottom of the screen by pressing the action key on top of the symbols
@adam-gallina Thanks I also wished we'd had more time to make more content. I always end up regretting not being more productive during the earlier stages of a game jam, but it takes a while for the game to shape up and for me to realize all the potential.
@snekofspice Thank you for the comment I'll look into the possible bug
@jakubbala haha that's cool to hear that it actually got you nervous, because while making the game it was so tough to tell if it's scary at all
@joror @sofia-j yeah the game is supposed to end after pressing the deeper button in the park/sky sequence. It works better with the executable windows version where it closes the game but on the web version it just freezes instead of closing.
@lincolnsalles thank you for the long comment :)
@destroyertech @scidev @cronch thank you for your detailed comments. I agree with everything you're saying
That was very fun and exciting! I had to play it twice to have enough time to gather all the wood for the raft, because I didn't know what to do on the first run.
I think the fly falls too fast but I'm excited to see you make more levels
Very fluid graphics, audio and gameplay. I wish there were different levels and the lights were pretty easy to avoid. Anyways good entry!
Very addictive gameplay, but I discovered that with the first part the best strategy was to just let all the items fall straight down in the middle, because they would stack and you'd get all of them very fast. Also I didn't understand what decided the amount of food you could maximally get in the first section. With small tweaks this could bang as a mobile game
I liked how much content there was here and the graphics were nice too. It was a little buggy and I got totally crushed on the second day for some reason losing all my money.
I didn't really understand if I should be timing the rhythm markers or just spam to kill the zombies. I got 225 and made it to the end, but don't know if that's good.
Too hard but cool concept
Cool implementation of the theme but these types of games aren't really for me. Maybe there could have been some small minigame you play to advance the conversation or something.
I fell out of the map after jumping over the circular hill at the very right of the map. Seemed like a bug
I wished the game became more complext, cause I think you could make a very addictive game with this type of gameplay. Also there wasn't much incentive to throw the box when you could just get it under the enemies. Fun game still.
Seemed like a fun concept but I struggled with the controls hard for some reason (maybe because I was playing with a mousepad). I also think this could be more fun if it involved physics with the arm and the groceries. Maybe you would throw the food into the fridge or something and the food would roll and stuff.
I survived only 47 turns. I liked trying to survive as long as possible but defending seemed a bit too hopeless, because after the first few turns the fire was just spreading too fast
1370 points. Fun game but there's not as much strategy as there is speed of placing the troops on the field.
I really liked trying to complete the different levels as fast as possible, because the movement especially without the inertial dampener was very satisfying. Nice game!
the movement was kinda bad it was really hard to sometimes fit through the holes. funny characters though
The throwing up effect was super satisfying but the map was too big. Fun game nonetheless
Goofy but I like it
Avoiding the people was pretty easy until I just got caught by surprise when I had 1hp left from not knowing how to play at the start. I think your points should accumulate from the very beginning because I was so confused as to what I have to do. Decent game still
Took me a while to understand how to play and then when I understood I found that the quickest path to the goal was amongst the correct ones. It would be better if I had to explore the map and circle around to perfectly balance the resources instead of just taking the fastest route and it working. If the map layout was more complex this game could be really good! Nice job anyways.
I'm very lazy with reading descriptions and rules so maybe the objective was explained, but I tried to wing it and just dive deeper into the mazes while collecting melons but the quest seemed neverending. The game seemed really well made, but I just didn't manage to finish it.
fun game
Very well made game. One small user experience improving feature could be to have the connecting flowers chart be always visible on screen so that the player wouldn't need to spend time on opening the book for help.
@spica It's crazy you mention that game, because that was exactly what I was thinking about with my comment. That game has suddenly appeared in my life in such a weird way. At first I played an exact copy of that game previously in this jam, which I then thought was an original idea, but immediately after playing the game, I then open up youtube and see Ludwig streaming and playing the original game which made me so confused.
@spica haha not like you asked but this https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/magical-veggies was the game I first played
I got to the yellow key card but when it opened my inventory and I accidentally exited it, the game wouldn't let me pick up the keycard again or open my inventory with tab at all. Other than that the graphics and gameplay were very smooth and enjoyable.
I noticed that it started looping the same levels at a point so I wished there would have been more unique levels cause the game was really fun. Most levels were also pretty easy to quickly run through so something should be done to counter that.
Only problems were that the text froze the player and I think the dash ability was too OP when trying to dodge the lights. Otherwise nice game
i accidentally made this comment that im writing why cant i remove it???
The items should either go on a grid so they could fit perfectly or the collision boxes should be trimmed a little, because they didn't fully align with the visuals. Other than that I liked the game
Why don't the tree want a gameboy
Escaping from the first tower was crazy. Fun game
Had fun trying to figure this out. Nice job
The game would really benefit from some music to enhance the mood but still an enjoyable experience that makes the player think for a bit.
The gameplay loop with scanning and shooting was clever, and I enjoyed upgrading my stats between rounds. The sonar scanning felt a little inconsistent, but the main reason I stopped playing was because one time an enemy got very close to me, and when I tried to spam the missile attack, it wouldn’t launch. That annoyed me so I stopped playing even though I still had 2 lives left. I don't think the wave should reset after dying.
I didn't understand the idea with the portal and pickaxe breaking leaving you in the cave. I think once your pickaxe breaks you should just teleport back with all your ores. Also why did I need 5 of the ores to smelt them. I did find the procedural generation with the mine good though and the graphics were somewhat charming even if a little rough. Decent effort
Great game
So stressful. Didn't make it that far sadly.
1st attempt babyyyyy. Fun little game, wished it was longer and had sounds, but I did enjoy the platforming.
I was sweating at the last bit with the octopus. Fun game and cute graphics and audio. Only improvement would be to be able to use the mouse and click instead of keyboard controls in my opinion.
Having to avoid the fall damage and your character breaking down when you die was fun. I did find the platforming mega annoying though. The constant sliding and not having any agency over your movement when in the air was so frustrating but I guess that was on purpose so good job.
I wish there was some urgency to destroying the blocks. You could just play with very safe and not lose a single heart. Still a fun time.
Food never became a problem but I would break down pretty fast even when I was going exclusively for iron and coal. I never really understood completely what the pickaxe blocks did besides speeding me up. If the game had a little more strategy to it it would be great
Surprisingly few ratings. Very artistic. Gameplay nothing crazy but a memorable experience nonetheless.
Felt like most of the time I was just guessing what would happen but I did manage to beat the game and it had some cool moments for sure
First I didn't think I would play the game for long but then I ended up maxing everything out. I love these games where your character gets stronger throughout. There were some design decision I didn't think were great though and I would have hoped for the game to be more difficult, because you could just float at the top and shoot the fish without much danger.
@boboneoone Yeah that's happened to me a few times also, but you can make surprisingly long distances if you play close to perfect. There are a lot of different techs regarding the movement
@seiko Oh that's something I didn't even consider, thanks for playing
@david05 haha thx
@ngryyyyy I knew that would motivate people. The game also has some surprising things that happen if you make it far enough so I wanted there to be some push towards that. I hope someone manages to beat my score at some point :)
@keith-wang The game's tough and RNG is definitely a big part of it
@toupaks thanks!
@ruthiepee Thanks for playing. The leaderboard has arrow buttons for pages so you can probably find your score from the next page. The leaderboard showing top 10 scores while filling only half of the screen is very misleading, so that's my bad. I'm thinking of making a more accessible version with more appealing graphics because I think the gameplay is surprisingly addictive.
@texugo I'm actually a little surprised that so many have found the game so rage inducing xD. It is partly on purpose of course but when I'm playing it I don't get that mad, but maybe it's cause I made it idk.
@braktheman thanks for playing and I now understand I didn't make the controls clear enough. If you get even further there is a little more than just scary music haha
@deadcode Glad to hear
@woona there is no ending really but if you make it to 120 it'll get crazy
@prunus-padis glad you liked it
@tobius thanks for the feedback. Initially the turtle was supposed to shoot some sort of projectile to push themselves but then we didn't end up doing that and at the end had no time to implement any animations sadly.
@fireslash @jtap thanks for trying even if it was difficult
@loveapplegames you have 2 jumps, I don't think I made that clear enough. But you are correct that maybe I should have inverted the direction with the mouse. Initially the turtle was supposed to shoot a projectile in the direction of the mouse to boost up, but then that idea got scrapped but the logic stayed.
@surweaver haha nice to hear someone get a little further in the game
@tomas88a yeah I clearly underestimated the difficulty of the game when designing it haha. While developing I must have played too much and got too good lol
@ali-yagmur haha love to see it. There are 2 things you didn't get to see but that's a solid score.
@miroreflect thanks for the in depth comment. I have after the fact realized that I should have just inverted the mouse/jump direction. It would be better if the turtle jumped towards the mouse and not away from it for sure. Also I had the idea of changing the color of the turtle depending on how many dashes there were left (kinda like the hair color in Celeste) but ran out of time and forgot about it.
@empyreans Yeah the controls aren't the best but the jumps do get reset by every collision(except for the walls) actually. You can just barely scrape the side of a platform and you get the jumps back. Thx for playing
Felt like a happy wheels minigame haha. Enjoyable experience except for the last level which I don't believe is possible after trying like 20 times and getting in it but I guess just barely clipping my foot
Great presentation and gameplay was fun too, nice job
Clever system for a puzzle game, could be expanded very easily. The sounds were juicy. Maybe some more difficult levels would be fun but great job nonetheless.
Ooh I loved this! The fridge puzzle was very clever because initially I didn't realize it was a puzzle at all. Also the QR code was cool. I was stuck for a while with the symbols cause to me it resembled an IQ test where you have to rotate them and or add them together to create other symbols in a logical way, but then it ended up just being normal math with disguised numbers. I tried to somehow apply the QR directions to it also but nothing just quite worked. I loved the graphics and the atmosphere. Great game, surprised by the low amount of ratings.
I made it in just under 5 minutes. My game also is a rage platformer with a turtle character so we have some similarities there haha
I beat it pretty fast. I just went straight down and killed crab. Fun little game and cool sprites.
I wished there was a way to get health back but other than that fun game
I found all the 8 things after a while. I liked the systems, but I wish there were some stakes to the gameplay. There was no way to lose or be skillful or anything so the game felt a little tedious. Decent job anyways.
Love to see co-op games. Had fun playing with my little brother. He got a little scared of the minotaur lol
I went to spank the big mouse and that got me killed noooo. Liked the sewer setting and graphics and audio were decent too. Couldn't bother to start over but I hope I didn't miss too much.
I'll take an acceptable quality. First run I lost all the pizza but the game kept going so that was weird.
Nah the game is bugged for sure. The jumps behave differently every time even when I fully charge it and aim it as angled as possible. Other than that I was enjoying the game.
Very cutesy
Game was cute and fun UNTIL the red fish came into the picture. F that fish. Catching it was harder than sekiro. Otherwise good game, maybe delete that fish to spare sanity of players though just my take. Also sometimes hitting the walls or the floor when the fish would dodge made me hiss at the screen.
Such a cute and relaxing little platformer. Maybe wish it was a tad bit longer but that's my only gripe. Nice job
I got 110997 after a couple attempts. Very polished and fun and good and great. Only thing I dislike is how the game is so punishing. I think I'd enjoy it more if there were checkpoints or separate shorter levels, because I'd really like to see all of the game but it's just too difficult. Great job anyways!
I don't think your thumbnail is doing the game justice because this was one of the best I've played in this jam. The music was very comforting and the voice acting was the best I've ever seen in a jam I think. The gameplay I also found very engaging and it had a good amount of puzzling + platforming. Difficulty was solid also. Very good entry!
First game I tried and already amazing. So satisfying
Such a cool artstyle. Impressive game for just 3 days.
I didn't completely understand how to play the game, but I liked the concept.
I got 1085. I love the graphics and it's fun to watch the character bounce around, but I didn't get much value from the shooting meter you could use after launching. It didn't give much power at all. I also wish that you could zoom out in the beginning screen so you could maybe plan the direction you're going at a little more.
Cool game. Liked the mix of 2d and 3d art.
I got 1470. My game is actually very similiar to this one funnily enough. Even to the extent of the player character changing its look when you get further. I enjoyed the game but the only thing that bothered me was there being so many platforms where I constantly bumped my head to.
There's a beginning of a nice game here but with the absence of any danger or urgency or way to lose it feels pretty empty.
I have to admit I got a little bored waiting for the next wave. I think there should just be enemies constantly spawning and then you could in the midst of the battle upgrade your ship. Having to wait and do nothing for like 40 seconds really kills the pacing for me. Controls and combat was fun though so there's potential.
wtf is this game lol... 5 stars for humour at least haha
Such a cute package. Very well made game.
I love the idea of the black hole being in the middle and the player having to avoid it. I do have some improvement ideas however. Firstly I think that maybe instead of going after the scorepoints, you would just have to survive as long as possible. Secondly I think there should be some visual indicator at the edge of the screen of objects that are approaching. And my biggest change would maybe be to not have the asteroids deal damage to the player, cause I think it's not that fun to die to an asteroid instead of the black hole, but have the asteroids just be physical bodies that push the player towards the hole. I think that could maybe be more fun. But the fact I typed this much means the game was very fun, so nice job!
I wish there was a goal of some sort, but other than that the game was fun.
Damn the game is kind of really cool, but I think it bugged when I lost access to Bethel. I then tried to spam satellites all over without any success. I also noticed that the "F" signals gravitated towards the black holes, it didn't seem to help me much. Some things I didn't understand but I found the game intriguing nonetheless. Very stylish also!
Could have had some more gameplay but the vibes were cool
Interesting system with the spawning troops and deciding when to have them fight, never seen similar. Cute graphics and chill gameplay, I liked this!
At first I was a bit overwhelmed but then I decided to stick with the game and it was so much fun. Took me an hour at least to beat though. This somehow reminded me of blue prince and obra dinn. Super polished in every way. You must have had some stuff prepared for the jam right? Learning what the words meant made me feel immersed. Best game I've played so far :)
Oh no I died to an enemy. Game was chill.
This is insane for 3 days. Great use of a big team I must say. A short hike is one of my favorite games and this scratched the same itch. Flying around in this big world helping people, so much fun! The graphics were amazing, I loved the water especially. Wow!
Lovely
Oh my flipping god I was actually doing good but then a guy did the most insane slap and I flew like 5 meters into the void. Super funny game, maybe just a little too simple with the gameplay, but the animations and the humour made up for it. Thanks for this.
Loved this! The world looks cool and the monster is menacing. Simple game but the mood is great. Somewhat similar to my game.
Every jam has an inscryption-like but they are always fun so I'm not complaining. This one was way more skill-based than luck-based. I think the items were a little too op, or at least the player had too many of them accessible. Very impressive for 48 hours!
I beat the game without any hints! Or I assume finding the skeleton is the ending. I really liked this, the puzzles were satisfying. One glitch I ran into was on top of the lighthouse after looking at the sky, I tried to go back down the ladder immediately and that caused a bug where I couldn't exit. Other glitch was the cursor flashing, I wonder why that happened, I also implemented a custom cursor in my game and that glitch doesn't happen, who knows. Anyways great job on the game, held my attention until the end!
Best graphics I've seen in this jam. All the animations with the player are so nice. Maxed out and got the present for mom, really enjoyed this!
Well made game but to me it was just a little boring. Too similar to pacman in my opinion.
@cardboard-box I think 4th level maybe. And yeah the nature of the game just wasn't really for me but I'm sure others will find it more fun
1697 signal points, probably not too good. This game however was super good. It's so rare that I find the writing engaging in game jam games, but this succeeded. The gameplay was also fun enough. Great pacing for the game. I rate this 5 astros.
Flying around was fun. The map looked cool. I couldn't bother to collect all 100 though.
It was pleasant but the game doesn't seem to ever end. Main menu screen looked really nice.
I got ending 3. I loved the eery music and the artstyle.
Sadly too short, I was enjoying it. I don't think having to move left and right was a good choice though, I'd rather just focus on writing the notes.
I didn't play too far but the graphics were great and it seemed like there was a lot of content. What worsened my experience was the font. To me it was difficult to read and in a game like this it made me quit. Maybe a skill issue on my part though. I'll give good scores though cause the game seemed very polished.
So funny and well made, but also so difficult and sometimes aggravating. Sometimes the note would jump high with me just making a deep noise. But still this was so refreshing and the system worked way better than I would have initially assumed. Good job!
Great stuff. Shuffling in and out different buildings for different needs was fun. More strategy than many other idle games.
@yurenhuo 谢谢 :)
@fredrik-andersson @grimslinger Thanks I'm glad the game worked
@annie-owl thank you so much!
@woona fair. The elevator was meant to provide that little bit of calmness, but maybe it wasn't enough. The game is supposed to be stressful though so I guess it succeeded.
@fadex Thanks. I've never seen that game before but looks cool
@celiolymph thanks so much!
@kkritselis haha horror games aren't for everyone but I respect you being fair :)
@ekopeko completely fair. I always run out of time to make a proper ending and beginning in game jams.
@denikk the theme isn't very prevalent but it's more to do with the story and the ending. You're trying to send a signal for help
@firefish Thanks you :) Wasn't a compo entry though, my friend made all the music and sounds. @ennukas Thanks. For the ending we didn't have much time left so it is what it is.
@jerrywest Thanks for the big compliment :)
@sh0ck3r thanks!
@catanus Thank you! At one point the corridor running worked by spamming spacebar, but then I realized that it would be better if the whole game could work with just the mouse.
@helenajaine Aww thanks for the kinds words. I'm glad the game succeeds in scaring players mwahaha
@kureca @purrseus @nikiprot @cptnero Thank you :)
@yarcha Thanks for the thorough description. It's interesting to hear how the playthrough went. I hadn't thought about the levers being too short but now that you mention it I see what you mean.
@yarcha the traps are randomized but I didn't have time to make too many rooms. Mobile runner is a funny idea haha. Haven't ever seen a horror infinite runner game before.
@huha @igor-korobeinikov @irkar @venomousmouse @lohii @scottyartt @juanrod707 @wallted Thanks for the praise :)
@pipetto Thanks for the compliments and staying resilient! The game doesn't really loop, it just has same types of rooms repeating a few times. The elevator separates the 2 floors. I think downstairs has like 5 rooms and upstairs maybe 10. Something like that.
@crystik Thanks so much! I tried to make the "puzzles" easy enough so people wouldn't get stuck that much.
@ao-85 Thank you!
Fun game and leaderboard is a good addition. I'm not sure how the scoring worked though. I "won" but got like 300 points. I guess I lost points from letting the monsters get to the chick. I think the sucking could have been stronger and maybe there should have been some way to kill the spiders other than sucking them in when they go blue. I felt very powerless for most of the game, inevitably letting spiders get to the chick, but then I would get the powerup and go up like 10 levels suddenly, not so balanced maybe. Anyways an enjoyable time!
mushroompuzzle.png Please tell me how to solve this puzzle. I was stuck like 15 minutes but now I give up. Great game, good level design, polished look, nothing to complain about. I wonder how many levels I missed out on.
I couldn't finish the game. I didn't know how to stop the traps from firing at me. I also tried like every frequency for the second 3 digit code, but couldn't hear a message. I think there was potential here though. Shuffling through radio channels quickly to affect the world around you could work well, but I just couldn't figure out the correct channels unfortunately.
Fullscreen button didn't work for me and I couldn't be bothered to download so I played by scrolling the screen when I needed to see more haha. Game was cool, I liked the abilities. I felt like sometimes I just had to pray that I would hit a platform cause I couldn't react in time after revealing it with the ability.
This was very fun and polished. I played for way longer than I was intending to cause it was so addictive. My only complaint would be that I think getting upgrades takes a little too long in the beginning at least. Maybe some other powerups would be cool too
I couldn't figure out how to automate the towers. A huge amount of content for a short jam though. Very impressive.
Ok I managed to beat the game but it wasn't easy. The enemies felt very oppressive but maybe I respected them too much and should have just ran through. Also after getting 4 dots on each piece I still took a long time to find them. Maybe there should be some hint as to what direction it's at, or there should always be some objects close by, like with the suitcases, although even those didn't necessarily help me find the third piece lol. I was actually about to quit the game but then I accidentally walked over the first one. Was it hidden in a bush? What would benefit the game most in my opinion would be a tutorial-esque first section, maybe on the beach, where the player easily gets to find the first piece so that the objective becomes clear for the player. The graphics and especially the device and its screen were very well made, and the twist on the story at the ending with the plane is cool, if I understood the narrative correctly. The game also was a little spooky with its audio and the monsters chasing so great job!
This game was really funny and the fractals looked sick. Very unique and memorable!
The animations were so great. I especially loved the scene where the alien puts on the human suit and the one when you lose where the men in black take you away. Gameplay was fun too. This game really gnortsed my mr alien.
Funny to take inspiration from the beginning of Indiana Jones 4. I managed to find some loot but I lost my way unfortunately... The environment was the highlight for me, the stacked crates were fun to walk around.
I think I understood the game after some trial and error but I didn't manage to win because of the timer. Also sometimes the logic didn't make sense to me. I think the towers should have had one input and output slot so directing the signal would have been more clear. The soundscape was surprisingly immersive, I thought some of the sounds were coming from real life at times lol.
I got like 10 points but then I got bored cause the game wasn't that challenging and a little slow-paced. Graphics were nice and I enjoyed the gameplay initially.
Fun game, but as someone who plays a lot of poker, the small errors with betting and calling annoyed me haha. Also sometimes the game would think I won when the villain still had chips. But other than that I really enjoyed the game. The ending was a shock.
The game started out really good, but then suddenly I just got so much money that I could spam archer towers and win easily. I think the game isn't balanced so well, but everything else was great, so good job! I don't even know how I got so many resources because I didn't buy that many generators for them.
I couldn't figure out the dial section. The static comes at such random points, it's not a constant feedback, makes it difficult in an unenjoyable way to me. The art looked beautiful though.
I played with the webcam and that was so fun! Never played a game like this before. Unfortunately I got only 5/6 green lights before getting all red... The game prompted me to get to try again but I think the game ends there since nothing would happen. The face capturing worked very well in my opinion, I just sometimes wasn't sure what face to make, but that's fine. Very nice game! Somewhat similar to "Who's Lila" with making different faces.
I didn't feel like I was progressing much. I kept doing the same tasks but at most had 2 smiley faces even though I felt like I was fast. Some of the minigames were fun and the graphics were nice also. With the first minigame I didn't have to care about the levers, it was enough to just navigate the space view, so I feel like that was a bug.
I found the power to be kinda useless and it takin away from my energy made me not use it at all. I was just looking at the minimap and trying my best to move in the maze. Not that fun, but the story screens were very good. I think the colorful look of the light in the darkness was also nice.
GTA level got me too. I don't see how the power could ever get to the goal, and if the point is to complete the morse code or whatever, I can't be bothered. The game was cool until that point though. Good graphics and vibe
The menu immediately made me excited. The gameplay was pretty good, the style was nice. The enemies swarmed me pretty fast, but I don't think I utilized the shop enough. Very polished game in many ways. The arrow pointing to where the enemies are coming from and the enemies even having a visible texture when they are behind trees were features that most of the time jam games wouldn't include so I respect that!
Third plant glitched on me, but even before that I didn't really have a clue what I was doing. It seems that the game is designed around playing the same thing again and again until the player has correctly guessed all the tags. The art was great though, that made me give the game a shot. Maybe with some changes the game could bloom.
Very unique and fun. Sometimes stuff happened in the game that I didn't quite understand but even just spamming all the different abilities was fun enough. Nice graphics also.
I wished the gameplay had a bit more to it but the story and atmosphere kept my intrigue. I don't know what all of this meant but I appreciate the wackiness.
I found the lever to escape the first room but then in the second one I tried a few times but always died by colliding too much. It got a little aggravating to me. The idea seemed unique and the visuals in the darkness were cool.
@derold can't find the page
The game was cool, I didn't make it to the end though because after I got rid of the red guy and tried to climb the ladder, I got sent back to the last checkpoint and couldn't bother walking back. The shader effect could have looked better I think, it got a little tiring for my eyes after a period. But it was a good way to make the game standout. The wavelength puzzles were fun enough. Nice job on the game!
I'm surprised that no one else seems to be confused by the main gameplay. I'm supposed to kill the monsters to get money, but killing them makes the song stop? My every run lasted like 10 seconds, I barely get to hear the music. Shouldn't the point be to stop the monsters from getting to the bottom of the screen, I feel like that should be what damages the player. But maybe I have some huge misunderstanding, because everything else in the game was super polished. The graphics and shader effects were great, the skill tree was cool, and the ability to add own songs was a nice bonus. This game has huge potential but I just don't get the gameplay loop. Is it a bug?
After writing this I'm now seeing the gif of you playing the game where there are multiple different enemies so clearly the game has more content. How do I make it there though? Some tutorial in-game would have done a lot I think. Maybe I'm an idiot.
I get that we are the brain controlling the body in a robotic way but the movement was maybe the worst I've ever seen in a game lol. I had to come look up the controls after I couldn't move by pressing a key initially. The brain hud graphic was great and the concept I enjoyed. A little too simple of a mission though and crossing the road was just pure gambling with hoping that the cars won't hit. Maybe I'm complaining too much cause I did have fun completing the game, so good job anyways :)
The rhythm didn't feel correct most of the time in my opinion. That soured my playthrough but other than that the game was fun and unique for sure!
haunted game. love it.
The lightning and the owl made have some violent outbursts, but other than that the game was good!
Fun gameplay and intriguing narrative. Nice job
The hitbox being a circle that the sprite doesn't match annoyed me so much. The gameplay was decent otherwise, maybe a little easy.
