Cool game ! Liked the fact you used Pico 8 to build it :)

Submitted

It was a fun a zen experience!  I like the design and colors of the sprite art!  The movement sound was satisfying too.  Great job submitting a unique and cool game to the jam.  Plz check out my entry if you haven't (hopefully you don't get the door bug haha)

Got to  the game over screen. I really liked the experience! Pretty surreal! The minimalistic graphics are nice. I think it would be even better with more music.

Developer

Yes, I think so too! I don't want music in every room but maybe something calm/ambient/creepy in the later stages. Sadly I did not have time for it - I added  in footsteps like 20min before the deadline! But I will work on the music after the jam!

Man this was a amazing experience i didnt finish it, but i will finish it tomorrow i really enjoyed the game and how you made the game soo good to play, i liked the movement to, i saw one of the coments where you say that you work 20 to 30 hours on the game this is insane, you were alone this is amazing nice job man, please check my game too if you can, i will be happy :D https://itch.io/jam/benbonk-game-jam-1/rate/659306

I don't really see how this game has anything to do with the theme and don't seem like a game that was made in 3 days.

Developer (1 edit)

hey that's a bit unfair, imo my the game fits the theme really well as you can't trust anything/anyone you see, hear or read. Also it frequently  betrays the blind trust people have in some game mechanics. How long did you play it?

I take the second part of your comment as a compliment. All the assets are 8x8 pixels so it's easy to create a lot of them very fast. With Pico-8 you can work in the editor for creating sprites/sounds/code so you save a lot of time because you never have to switch programs and import/export.  I worked about 25-30 hours on the game.

I'm really sorry If my comment was hars, that was not my intention.

But there was some signs here and there, that could probably go into the theme. But f.eks. one of the signs said that gold was not important so I should not open the chest, but rather use the keys for doors. But I found a door where I needed gold, and I also needed the keys for doors.

I played for around 20 minuttes, and the first 5 minuttes of the game I won, so i tried again, and played it another way.

The games art is also really lovely :)

Developer

the sign was false as you can open the door even if you don't have 5000 gold on you. 

also you get the message "you win ;)" everytime you die (maybe you stepped into spikes)

if you actually finish the game, you get the message "game over!" 

- trust no one!

Submitted

Oh, they looked like flowers, but they could perhaps have been spikes haha

I'm really sorry about my comment then, I will give your game another run an change my rating :D

Submitted

I'm really sorry for my first comment, now I just played your game once again, and now I understand the game a lot better.

I guess I was just blind :P

But the game is really nice and actually very hard because the game will let you believe there is something good, but then it's just a trap.

Really well put together game xD

Developer

glad you enjoyed it! maybe i'll make a short animation and sound when you get hit so it's less confusing!

Submitted

That was probably just me there was an idiot haha :P

Looks like a very oldschool game i used to play! <3

Submitted

Pretty good but when i pressed down the player didnt go down, overall good game,PS:make sure to check out my game.

Developer

You mean walking down didn't work in general or in a specific scene? I think there's only one invisible block in the game which is near the end and you can just walk around so that's probably not it. I personally didn't experience any bugs but let me know under which circumstances it happened.
