Was not expecting something like this from this jam. Though it's short, it's efficient in driving it's message home. Theme seems secondary to the whole meaning. The half scene almost gave me chills. I was expecting a different ending, but hey! Nice job!
This felt like a pretty smart combination of genres and mechanics. Awesome game! One of my favorites so far
I'm not sure if I got stuck or if it isn't finished. Sound and Graphics were pretty cohesive, and I must admit this is one of the ones that used the theme creatively. Nice game overall!
The progression looks very cool! I just couldn't stop killing it, for some reason. One of my favorites when it comes to Graphic and Sound design.
I had so much fun playing this game! The controls and mechanics felt very solid and cohesive. Not a fan of clicking the boxes though, so small!
This was short and pretty sweet. The mood I got from the menu screen was great! I'm not sure I got the theme though. Seeing the goods bob all around was pretty funny. Nice job
I loved gulping down everybody at the end! The graphics and music create a very sweet mood. Awesome work!
It was rather confused at first as to what was happening, but once I got it it became really good and it did draw me in for a good while! he song was pretty sweet too! Great job.
Pretty fun, feels really solid and polished. Props to whoever worked on graphics!
The game was pretty creative in it's interpretation of data and memory, dialogue made me smirk once or twice, and the gameplay was solid and fun. Theme didn't feel as much "running out of space" as "limited space" though. Either way, a bunch of fun to be had.
Hey yall! Thanks for the feedback, this is our first Jam and we were certainly not expecting such a nice response, hah!
@shafournee @ganonwarrior Holding F was supposed to play an animation, making it much more costly to repair the platform, but sadly we had no time for player animations. Or any animation at all, for that matter.
Kind of disappointed that it turned out so hard to advance after the 10th or so round, as most people won't get to see some of the content. Awesome reading all of your comments anyway!
@hunter-towe It really is a shame that we didn't have more time to polish and iron out details we knew would bother people. We're working on a postjam version, so hopefully yall like that version better :smile:
@ursagames Hey man, it was really cool to watch someone play our game that way, thanks for that, made our night!
One of my favorites so far! It gets pretty chaotic after a while, but that's just more fun to be had. Could spend next to hours playing this. Nice one!
This game looks, sounds and feels amazing. They all contribute to conveying this creepy mood that kind of builds up from the intro. Sadly, the gameplay gets really grindy and the payoff... where, there is none. If this was a work in progress I'd stick to it, could turn into something really cool.
Made a couple thousand books by ramming my truck into some people, pretty fun! Controls felt difficult but fair. I don't feel the theme ties all that well with the gameplay, but pretty fun anyways!
It seemed too simple in concept but the execution was pretty good. It was pretty fun. Good Job!
The graphics and sound were very charismatic, and has a certain charm to it that I really liked! Gameplay is a bit rough and the map can be both a hassle and a joy to discover and figure out. Nice work here!
Charming and simple. Beat is catchy. Could do with some polishing.
Hah, the ending made me smirk. Very fun and pretty, though the gameplay felt a little bit rough around the edges
Hah, pretty fun for a while. Once they start kicking around though, there is very little you can do if you get surounded. Graphics and music were fitting and charming, and the theme made sense. Nice work
This has been my favourite game so far! It's a lot of fun and right on theme. I specially love the simplicity of the 'break' mechanic, as well as the 'carry'. It adds so much with so little.
I would legit purchase a full release of this.
Keep it up!
This was a lot of fun! I specially liked the environmental storytelling you have going on. Goes pretty well along the lighting giving the whole game its great mood. Keep up the good work!
EDIT: It would have been nice to be able to switch to a specific character using num keys or somerhing of the sort, since at times it can be difficult to notice which character you have selected.
Hey everyone! Thanks for your comments & feedback! Just to clear a few things up:
@wheybags We sadly could not finish the ending sequence we wanted, and as such we had to last-minute block the player from going out of bounds.
@jaco-van-hemert The shop was another thing that didn't have enough time in the oven. It was supposed to have many more upgrades (that were meant to stagger progression a bit) that were actually programmed but didn't make into the interface, so we also had to last-minute scrap them. The harpoon was meant to deal much more damage, while the blowtorch much less as well.
@neshtyak A tutorial would have been nice, wouldnt it? :laughing:
Overall, I think we made it through 80% of the features we wanted, but those 20% ended up being vital for the progression/pacing we had planned for our game. We still had a bunch of fun and learned a lot.
Woah, I was not expecting to find a visual novel of all things in this jam. It was a fun romp, though I wonder if there were any alternative endings, since the end felt kinda of sudden to me. Also, I love the music (Got to be real is one of my fav songs), though the fact that the soundtrack has lyrics kind of clashes a bit with the text format of the game.
All in all I enjoyed it, and the sudden end only made me want more. Keep it up!
