Great take on the theme!
Very good game quality, cute art and music. Well done!
Fun game, great music, well done!
Loved it! The sound design and atmosphere are truly impressive!
Cool concept, with an Antichamber vibe!
Fun game with great sound! I just wish it had a bit more challenge.
Good game, even if I'm not very good at it!
A difficulty progression could be a nice addition. For example, in the first level, the words in a phrase could only go vertically or horizontally, with no direction changes within a word, and only left to right or top to bottom. In the next level, words could go in any direction, and later on, introduce direction changes within words.
Nice game! It really made me want to keep trying again and again... just to see how far I could go.
It took me some time to understand why I was dying at the beginning (it was not clear for me that I needed to stay on falling objects).
Love the goofyness of the graphics!
I was very pleasently surprised by the game intro with voice over, it helps a lot to set the tone of the game!
The enemy hitboxes aren't very clear, as I sometimes got hit even when I wasn't touching them. Also, it would be nice to have a quicker way to restart the level, without the full camera overview each time.
Ooh, I remember seeing one of you streaming on Twitch during the jam, we were really curious to see how the game would turn out. And it looks great! Very unique art style. FĂ©licitations!
Thanks everyone for the feedback, we really appreciate it!
There’s definitely still work to do on balancing, and the game is currently missing information about how much each building produces.
@tiar Unless there’s a bug, a lumberjack should produce 3 wood. However, something not explained in the game is that corruption applies a production penalty based on the depth it has reached, starting from 66%. So depending on the corruption’s progression, a lumberjack might end up producing only 2.
We split the work: I handled the coding, and my friend worked exclusively on the assets. I was honestly really impressed by how quickly he was able to produce them, he worked efficiently and made smart choices by reusing parts of some assets to create others. And there’s no animation, since even simple animations would have taken significantly more time to make.
