Amazing art and concept! Try as I might, I always end up as monster chow... Will plan on coming back to this one!
Wow! This is incredible! Especially having such a deep game completed in such a short time! My first run through my townspeople were NOT happy with me, but I made it to the end the second time around with no deaths! A really fun game if not a little... *dark*!
Ha ha, loved the commitment to the theme! Thank goodness we had Neiko watching our backs!
HA! Start with "Nothing"! Really impressed with the graphics!! I'll be hearing the sounds of those little balls in my nightmares tonight.
My usual strategy in life is always pick red! Give me red! This game opened me up to new baths, now I feel I may someday choose green, or even blue! A really nice concept, with the really cool feature of having the color map after you're finished!timeline-small.png
Ah, I like the whole, hacking other droids to steal their controls! I was impressed with how fluidly you could turn, though my poor protodroid couldn't hide for long... you'll be missed, protodroid!
Wow, this was amazing, the sound was amazing, but I especially liked the graphics, something about the slightly pixilated 3D was just so cool! I wish I wasn't so bad at it, I couldn't get my multiplier past x2, but at least I took out that big orb full of eyes!
A cool, concept! I loved the visuals, especially seeing the giant teeth from inside the whale! Oh that tantalizing exit, but I've still got a long way to go before my junk pile gets me out!
Wow, this is stunning! What an interesting concept, definitely want to spend some more time with this one.
Very impressed with how much tone you were able to develop with just a handful of objects! Having the monk laugh when your back was turned and the glowing stone were great, but the faint singing every so often was my absolute favorite. Would absolutely love to see this expanded on!
Oh I love this kind of puzzle!! Have played similar time loop games, but this was the first I can remember that layered the loops so that you had to replan old layers to work with multiple timelines! Great game, and a fun take on the concept!
What a neat take on the theme! But the best was that satisfying *thunk* effect when firing the shots. Something about it just really resonated with me! *thunk* *thunk*
Really liked the concept and could see an expansion of this idea being really engrossing! Once I started to build skill levels it was fun watching the items and gold roll in!
Cute visuals, but the music really took the cake! Loved the song!
Wow, wasn't expecting to see such a wide variety of puzzles in a game jam! Heartwrenching story!
Wow! Amazing art! Don't know why those hobos won't just leave trash dragon in peace!
Ah, this was really fun! Was thinking, oh it's so satisfying having pants, but then I got the BOOMBOX! The music was already great but then it really amped up!
Chris, Rory, and I have been working on our game for the past few days! Don't think we'll quite be able to finish by the time we have to submit it, but it was a lot of fun!Blob Security System.png
Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! We're going to attend to some things that piled up during the marathon, but we plan on getting back and finishing the game as soon as possible!
Wow, thank you so much everyone for giving our little proto-type a spin! We poured our hearts into it. @aden, thanks for pushing us over the edge! @kevinworkman, sorry about that. Haven't heard about the crashing yet, we'll work on polishing it up when we finish the game.
Ah, there was a little glitch with the system bar that I tried to fix right before we submitted it, must've missed something. By that point you've seen all the game has to offer so far, eventually one of the blobs will be an intruder and you'll have to deduce which one, but for now they're all just hardworking upstanding blobs!
Don't read if you'd like to figure out for yourself how to find the username and password but at @pierallard 's request, there's a second page of reports. If you look closely you'll see how to access it!
Ah, it's so good! There's just something so *satisfying* about gliding along the platforms. The white on black with the slight red was really working for me, graphically. No matter how hard I try I can't get past the small platforms. Best of all was the MUSIC! Everytime I thought it was going to loop, it evolved some new wrinkle!
Oh WOW! Knowing it was a musical game I had high expectations for the music, but the way it get more and more intricate as you progressed was just fantastic!!
Ha! I loved the music and the boops when the PC speaks were so perfect!
Wow, first let me just say thank you on behalf of the whole team for so many people playing our game! We APPRECIATE your feedback SO MUCH!
@hannahelena @maxathon @billehbawb @karas @connor0wolf @jacobwing @tripl3m @ad0rian @r2isabot We're so happy you enjoyed the game! We put our heart into it and it means the world that people are playing and enjoying it.
@quarter-up-studios @pxgluz @polifev @casual-dutchman Thanks for the feedback about the Fertilizer. The way it's supposed to work is that if you trade 5 Embroja and 5 Nektare to the grinder at the bottom of the screen, you get 1 Fertilizer. If you give a plot Fertilizer while it's growing, it becomes a SUPER plot and will grow much quicker and yield more Embroja! I can see how the explanation is not too clear. This part was a little rushed, since originally we were going to have a whole third resource and a building mechanic. Would have had a lot more instruction as part of the building UI, but had to cut that part for time.
@debuggerpls @deadboygames Ha ha, yeah Serpens is a mean lil' guy. We thought it'd be fun to make you go against your instinct. "Wait... WHY am I helping this jerk?"
@okkolobr @joaquinm @silurus @digitom @majadroid Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoy the art! Rory's art is the real star of the show in my book!
@abb1x We were actually talking about Mewtwo during the design process!!!
@khud0 @lucisaurus @fabrito @yscik Yeah, I hear you about Serpens can get a bit rough. Even my wife was saying "Wow, he's THAT mean?" I'd like to add a toggle in the future for those that would like to share with younger players or those that would prefer cleaner language
@sadpanda @adinimys Thanks for the feedback about the redscreen, I agree completely! We wanted something to keep things hectic and really make you sweat when Serpens got hungry, and Rory made some really cool Red versions of the pod, but we were running low on time and I had to throw that filter up there. Definitely something we'd adjust with a bit more time!
@adinimys @theqiwiboy Yeah, the difficulty is pretty rough. We wanted it to be tough, but it might have ended up a bit TOO tough. We got to the point on the timeline where we said "Ok, it's winnable, good enough" and moved on from balance. Keep at it and you'll crack it for sure!
@bitdecay Thanks for the feedback about the gameplay, we would've liked there to be a bit more complexity, as well. As we mentioned with the fertilizer, we were hoping to have a third resource that would've have involved an entirely separate building mechanic where you would've had more options for upgrades, but we quickly realized we needed to simplify to make the deadline. We kept the fertilizer in to give some variety, but we would definitely want to add more options in a full game!
Thank you all again, from the bottom of my heart! Don't let Serpens know that I'm slacking off to write all this out, he's a bit of a grump! There is just one more thing. There's this nagging question I've been meaning to ask you all, but I just can't remember it.... Hmm, oh well. I'm sure it'll come to me...
