It's funny that our team brainstormed a similar idea. Well done for bringing it to fruition, because it turned out really cool, I loved it.
I especially liked the anglerfish's tricks.
The game is well-designed, with nice pixel animation and a pleasant sound.
You guys are great, it's a great game!
An incredibly beautiful game. I really enjoyed the beautiful, smooth transitions and the beauty of the planets. I especially fell in love with the planet the color of gasoline in a puddle - The Shimmer.
But I didn't quite understand the logic behind the satellite rotations. When I wanted to turn in a certain direction, I guessed wrong, and the satellites spun in the wrong direction. I think that's where the game's main difficulty lies.
Thanks for a great game!
What a promising start.
I'll be waiting for you to release the full game, because I loved the responsiveness, weapon swapping, and smooth controls.
Anyway, you're doing a great job.
I'm very pleased with the responsive controls. Thank you so much for the minimap. Although, I must say that having such a detailed minimap simplifies gameplay.
Thank you for your game, it's cute and cool!!
What a cool game! I liked the gameplay responsiveness; everything was smooth and responsive, and it was comfortable to play. I got a little tired of spinning the wheel; I probably should have assigned the signal colors to 1, 2, and 3. And put icons under the HP bar.
I also didn't quite feel enemy hitboxes, which caused me to die unexpectedly. I liked the game. Thank you. You're great!
A simple idea, well executed. The game is very fun and enjoyable. Respect for deciding to make a leaderboard, hahaha.
Great game, I liked the progression system. But at first, I had a really hard time finding my way around in the dark, but I gradually got used to pressing the spacebar. Good level design, I liked it, but in my opinion, the submarine's speed is too slow. And the upgrades actually don't do much.
Cool game, I loved it!
I was able to fall off a cliff and fall as a fish. It's like a burning fire in SpongeBob, hahaha. But seriously, I really liked the smooth gameplay. The camera is cozy, the level design is good, and the interactions with the characters are fun. I want a roommate just like him, hahaha.
Great game, you guys are great!
Almost finished, only four discs left. I really love clickers with progression, and I really liked this one. I couldn't finish it because my hand got tired from turning the crank. Hahaha. A really cool clicker, and this game is definitely one of the highlights of this jam.
An engaging seek-and-click quest. Great music, good voice acting. An interesting story. Overall, the game turned out great.
You guys are great!
I really liked it. Really. The graphics are really cool. It's great to connect people so they can help each other. Great job!
A good implementation of turn-based gameplay. Even though I read the guide on how to play the game, I didn't figure it out right away. Turn-based games are too complicated for me, hahah х) But I liked the graphics and the design of the girls. A very cool project, worth the time.
Too few people have played this game! A cool take on Space Invaders, there's even progression! You've done a great job!
To improve the game, I think you should remove the cat's long pauses and also expand the play area, as practically nothing happens on the right side of the screen.
Great game, you guys are great!
I liked the style of old games. It's like I'm playing Dendy. But I didn't understand what was required of me. I found two gems, and that's it. English isn't my native language.
The game looks nice, and the music is captivating. It was a bit difficult to grasp the concept. Thanks.
I'd rather spend time with the mouse girls than fighting them off =(
Seriously, while the idea isn't new, it's executed brilliantly. In my opinion, the camera movement detracts from the gameplay. Instead, they could have made the mouse girls appear more often, and the camera couldn't be moved.
Great game, thanks!
Great noir vibe. Nice music. Nice animations. But in my opinion, the filters applied to the graphics really made it difficult to read the text; it hurt my eyes, haha. Anyway, the game turned out wonderful and atmospheric. You guys are great!
A very scary game. The sound, the lighting, the visuals—everything creates a creepy atmosphere. It's really well done; I was amazed by the quality of the project. At first, I was calm and just looking for the levers. But then, after the first elevator, I started panicking and pressing every lever I could find, and I couldn't even think about exploring the area anymore. Hahahaha. By the way, in my opinion, the levers are too short; they look more like buttons.
Amazing quality of the project, thank you for your work!
@verttixpertti In fact, I think if you randomize the traps, you'll get a good mobile runner.
It's like driving blind =)
You drive around the city, trusting your senses. Interesting idea.
It seemed to me that the more checkpoints you collected, the faster the buildings appeared. But as soon as I closed the game, it was so painful to see everything in color again, haha.
Thanks for the game!
I didn't get a chance to play it in multiplayer, but I did run around and explore the map solo. As far as I can tell, it's something like Dead by Daylight I get the idea.
Thanks for your game!
I realized the game requires a good understanding of Morse code. Unfortunately, I don't, so I can't evaluate it. Perhaps if there were hints at the locations, it would be easier to figure it out.
But, in any case, the execution is good.
@dan-whiffing I apologize for my inattention! I'll try again.
I encountered a bug where the mouse cursor was always pointing diagonally upward, and I couldn't do anything with it. I had to keep moving the cursor back while playing, hahaha. But I was still able to run around and enjoy the game. It's fun, action-packed, and colorful.
Wow, what a cool game!
I had a blast leveling up my penguin and racking up a ton of runs. I was hooked for about 40 minutes.
The logic behind the leveling was clear to me, but the placement of the levels was really awkward. Perhaps it would have been a good idea to make them specific, with specific stats and specific types of levels.
Plus, I didn't quite understand the end goal.
I'd really like to play the end game. Basically, the structure of this game reminded me of Hill Climb.
I'm thrilled, you guys are awesome!!!
Unfortunately, I couldn't complete the game due to the unresponsive controls. I only made about 10 runs.
But I enjoyed this take on a basic platformer shooter.
Thank you for your game, you did a great job!
I'll be honest: I'm not a fan of puzzle games.
But everything you've done is so well done. The graphics are pleasing to the eye, the animations are cool, the sounds are fun—everything is beautiful and suggests this game could have been another mobile game.
Great job!
Oh, where did you get the first prototype of Sea of Thieves? Hahaha It's well done: the models, the animation, the radio, the navigation. But honestly, I didn't understand the end goal. I rode around on the crosses, I poked around the radio. I caught the "Police Buoy" four times. But overall, the game was a good experience and a great impression.
Thank you for your game, you did a great job!
Я выжил! Хорошая реализация. Мне очень понравился левел дизайн, круто вы его собрали. Классная графика, волнующий геймплей. Прошел со второго раза, и мне почему-то не понадобились "островки" сигналов. Предметы легко опознаются и находятся. Классный проект, вы молодцы!
Cool puzzle game!
Easy to learn and kick aliens into the air. Cool building system, the game can be expanded and new and varied structures added. It would also be nice to add more threats to tempt the player to make the wrong decision.
Thanks for playing!
I don't think I fully grasped what this game requires of me. I picked up a ship with a minigun and just started shooting at asteroids, but then the game crashed. That said, I won't deny that shooting at asteroids is fun. Thanks for the game, you did a great job!
From the very beginning, ignoring the battery and turning on the first antenna, I wandered into the forest and got lost.
Then I couldn't jump to the second antenna for a long time. And then I couldn't figure out why the gate to the third antenna wouldn't open, hahaha. There's some subtle philosophical thought in the game; I wish it were a little longer and offered more "find it and bring it where it's needed" puzzles.
Thanks, great game!
Прикольная задумка что ты при помощи настройки радио находишь ловушки. Не знаю хватит ли этой механики на полноценную игру, но в качестве джем проекта это довольно интересно. Мне понравились ловушки и головоломки, но я словил какое-то странное ощущение от мин во второй комнате. Мы их не видим, но детектим с помощью радио, и они как-то странно взрываются :D А ещё я как-то разок замешкался и меня придавило дверью лол)
Да в любом случае игра сделано хорошо. Ты молодец, отлично постарался!)
Guys, I'm hooked on your game. I made more than 12 attempts and managed to score 710 points.
The game is incredibly addictive. The controls are simple, and you understand the rules on your third try. It's fun and entertaining.
Helping others: Red cloud - signal loss. Blue - slowdown.
But I thought the punishment for leaving the signal zone was very harsh. Once you leave the zone, you can't go back.
Thanks for the game, you did a great job!
I believe a great deal of effort went into creating this game. It's not easy to understand, but the concept is very interesting. In my opinion, some mechanics should have been introduced gradually, instead of overwhelming the player with everything at once. However, I enjoyed poking around, understanding, and figuring it out.
Thank you for your game!
Cool tube TV effect. Cool mechanic of three weapons and three enemies.
Thanks for making infinite health, hahaha. Actually, despite the beauty of the game, I found the controls a bit unresponsive. I couldn't figure out how to turn on the flashlight to burn the ghosts (I read the hint). A very strange and long jump, and the same knockback. As soon as I turned on the flashlight, I was thrown back and couldn't turn it on again.
In any case, the game is cool; it reminded me of Sega games. It's very beautiful and the music is really cool.
It's cool that you drew all the assets yourself. I'm not as good at drawing as you are, and I wouldn't have had the courage to draw anything at a game jam, hahaha. It's a great logic runner. All the hints were generally clear, but the section with the 9 buttons was tricky; I didn't have enough time to figure out how to activate it. You did a really great job.
I understand that you wanted to rework Backpack Brawl by removing autobattle from this type of game and giving the player more control. I really liked the idea, but I didn't feel like we could control the battle.
Yes, maybe you planned to do this but didn't have time. Nevertheless, the mechanics you did have time for look and feel good. I think this game is worth refining.
Overall, the game is great. The VASD camera controls were a bit of a bummer at first; I think they could have just raised the camera a bit higher.
An interesting action strategy game. I laughed at the train voiceover, hahaha.
Крутая и атмосферная игра! Поразительно какую работы вы проделали всего за три дня. Классная графика, работа со звуком тоже крутая. Я не смог только методом тыка разобраться как работает инвентарь. Насобирал кучу мусора, и рад. Отдельное спасибо за вывешивание постеров с намёками)
Молодцы, спасибо!
Привет от другой русскоязычной команды)
A fun nightclub simulator with water and chemicals. I'd like to see more mechanics. The music is great!
A fun quiz.
Even though I don't speak English well (Russian is my primary language), I was able to answer some of the questions.
Well done. On my 32-inch monitor, everything looked good.
Thank you for your game; you did a great job!
It's a medieval dispatcher! Interesting idea. Perhaps if we add specializations to knights and classify citizen requests by type (blacksmiths, farmers, carpenters), the game would take on a whole new flavor and become 1000 times more interesting. I loved the idea; it's great that you've done such a great job!
Мне было тревожно. Мне было одиноко. Все как в сабнаутике.
К сожалению петляя по тоннелям, я не до конца разобрался куда мне нужно плыть. Возможно стоило добавить какие-то игровые намёки. Ну или возможно я глупый ахаха
Спасибо за вашу игру!)
A good puzzle with wiring and signal restoration.
At first, I was a bit confused about what to do. At higher levels, the "What the level should look like" hint starts to help.
Thanks for playing!
К сожалению игра крашится при запуске уровня(
Once in my room, I went to read a magazine. Then I decided to go to sleep, but I couldn't. I tried to turn the radio, but found nothing. But I managed to sleep. Then some guy started talking to me in Japanese. Not understanding anything, I went back to sleep. It's just like in real life: If you don't know what to do, go to sleep, hahaha.
In my humble opinion, they should have added something between the game actions, because right now the core loop of the game is: Turn the radio → sleep → turn the radio.
I found the game very creepy, but that only adds to the atmosphere.
Cool. Just cool. At first, I was shooting at the spiders indiscriminately, but then I realized there was a message above them when you right-click. I dealt with them pretty easily. After running through the entire location, I didn't understand what I was supposed to do with those towers. I expected to have to fight off waves of spiders, but unfortunately, they quickly ended. I liked the feel of the game and its controls; the colors are perfectly chosen, it adds to the atmosphere.
Господи, какой же кайф. Наконец-то я поиграл в игру, а не в незаконченную поделку. И при том очень крутую игру, и с юмором. Спасибо вам троим, за такой прекрасный проект. Жанр не нов, но вы прекрасно его переобули в актуальную тему и с юморком. Очень насмешил дизайн мобов, и "бздыки" по ванне :D
Хорошо просчитана прогрессия, но в 2\5 игры я немного удивился когда на меня ринулась толпа, а у меня всего один дешевый дрон. Показались немного бесполезными одноразовые бусты. Колючая проволока не вносила ощутимый урон и рассыпалась, солнечные панели тяжело защитить + они дают мало голды (в сравнении с прогрессией), а что делают два других - я не понял, извините(. Так же некоторые звуки были через чур громкими, особенно котики ахах.
Но это всё минорные замечания, в комплексе игра работает, и работает замечательно! Просто поразительно проект какого качества вы смогли сделать за такое короткое время! Спасибо вам!
I couldn't fully understand the game. I was driving around Mars, breathing in dust, trying to maintain my signal. I could roughly figure out where to go from the map. Overall, it was well done; the only thing missing was a clear end goal.
Thank you for your game!
This game looks like something I'd download to my phone. A fresh idea and logical puzzles. It's a shame you can't control the camera; that made it a bit difficult to complete. I think if you polish the game and put it on the App Store, you could make money from advertising, haha.
You did a great job!
A cool platformer with time-based mechanics and color traps. I was a little nervous about the character collisions, but overall I managed to complete the game.
Great idea, great game, you're great!
I'm not sure I fully understood the game. I found it odd that we lose HP when we collide with furniture.
Otherwise, I liked the game; I realized that living with my eyes closed is uncomfortable, haha.
The number of assets is amazing, and the lack of critical bugs makes the game comfortable. You did a great job!
A very interesting reimagining of Tetris. Everything is really well done: the animations, the sound, the art. I loved it, thank you!
An interesting story, well executed. The visuals aren't jarring; on the contrary, the animations are pleasant.
You did a great job. My only minor criticism: the text should have been able to skip the animation.
I think I understood the basic idea. It's a shame the game wasn't finished and released, as it has potential. Tower Defense plus Signal Recovery is an interesting combination of genres.
Cool. I've played about 15 runs. Simple but interesting mechanics. I'd love to see the project evolve and add new challenges.
Thanks for game!
Interesting idea!
I liked the rhythm reward progression. The more you hit, the stronger the projectile. I also enjoyed destroying the trash. There's something useful about it.
Out of five runs, my best was level 17.
It's a shame they didn't have time to implement elemental leveling. Then the progression would have been even better! Thanks for the game, you're great.
@zhong-zhengchao Honestly, I took advantage of a game vulnerability. All I had to do was stand at a certain point in the level and keep clicking in time with the rhythm Hahaha
Arrrr!
A cool "shoot 'n' map" game. I had fun, especially the spacewalk to get the heart. The game still has room for improvement.
Thank you, you did a great job!
Attention everyone who can't launch the game! Try a different browser.
Also in the description, under the "Story" block, there is a link to itch
We'll be releasing the game archive for download in a couple of hours.
Sincerely, the developer.
I'll start with the good: An interesting novella with plenty of choice. The sound helps immerse you in the story, it's well done, and I found it interesting to read.
There are a couple of minor downsides: The beeping sound is very loud even with the volume settings turned down. The recording log image overlaps the subtitles. But these are minor issues. Thanks, guys, you did a great job!
Not a bad project for a jam.
Interesting mechanics. But unfortunately, the lack of a cooldown on echolocation made my gameplay feel like mashing the F key.
I don't understand why there are zombies in the game. I mean, yes, they can kill us, but I think this mechanic would fit perfectly into some kind of labyrinth with various symbols. Something like the caves in Skyrim.
Anyway, you're great!
Wow! What a cool and high-quality project! I really liked the responsive controls; they were easy to use. I was very pleased with the graphics and art; they were beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The pixel art is pleasing to the eye. I really enjoyed shooting the shotgun. In a panic, I tried to shoot the tentacles. It seemed like my HP was draining really quickly.
Thank you for a wonderful game; you did a great job!
A cool logic game where you have to calculate your moves. I understood the 2-3-4 pattern, even though at first I thought they were random. The cool old-school music played, and I couldn't shake the feeling I was playing on a Sega Mega Drive. The animations were pleasant. A couple of simple tutorial levels would have been helpful to get used to the mechanics, but you can figure it out without them with enough effort. Cool game!
The game is very mysterious. It has a good graphics filter; I think it's becoming popular again, haha. First, I woke up, realized I didn't understand anything, and decided to go back to sleep, but it didn't work, so I had to go to work. Then quests appear on the right side of the screen; if you follow them, everything is pretty clear. Good job!
An interesting logical idea. I spent about 15 minutes fiddling with the game. The gaming experience was slightly marred by the mouse sensitivity and the very narrow field of view; everything felt somehow... wide.
But overall, I liked the game, you guys are awesome!
It's clear they didn't have time to implement all the ideas. The graphics are terrifying. The rabbit is creepy; it scared me. It's a shame they didn't have time to finish the game, because the atmosphere set the tone for Alice Madness Returns. Maybe it's all because of the rabbit. Anyway, you're doing great! A great start!
