Reminds of agario. Very cool game, like that!

Cool concept! Took me a little while to figure out how to progress but otherwise worked quite well, especially for your first jam! Cant wait to see what you make in the future! Great work, feel free to check out my game if you get a chance :) https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-3/rate/900058

Amazing game!! I really loved the idea of using sound to find the key!! Loved the concept and the mechanics. Also, the minimalist art is really handled well in this game.  This is quite a unique idea and is presented very well in the game jam. Music and sound effects were also good. Great work man!! 

Also, please play and review my game if you get time. Thank you!!

Loved this game im a sucker for minimalist art and this game did it nicely! (kinda becuase i dont know how to draw as seen in my game hahaha) i got stuck on the 3rd level because i couldnt find the portal key thing which was a bit confusing to me but i think i understood it! great game 3/5 overall and 5/5 theme

Okay I really dig the search using sound feature!  I haven't seen that mechanic used much and it feels pretty unique, nice entry! :)

very interesting concept and execution of the mechanics. I really loved the searching for the key using sound

I liked the sound by distance effect, i do need to learn cinemachine. Outside the game, really liked the lessons learned part, its something i do only "mentally", but i repeat some mistakes

Great game. I enjoyed the enemy patrolling mechanics with the radius visible, the scene transitions and the locating the lever mechanic. The BG music was awesome, I could listen to that all day! The best part was the Cinemachine switch and the time pressure once you found the lever. Congrats on your first Game Jam, I can see with your talents, you will have more ahead of you!

The finding box mechanic was really cool and unique, especially the metal detector style beeping as you get closer. I never really understood the points system or how to win other than getting the diamond though. Maybe some clearer UI or story could tie it into the theme more? Great Job, loved the colour scheme!

Thanks, Citybuilder Studios!

I agree 100% on the point system seeming confusing. I def want to improve my UI and story writing skills for my next jam so as to not run into this problem again!

I appreciate you taking the time to play and comment!

Cool idea to find the box in the scene. The sound effects were a little loud sometimes but it was no big deal

Developer

Hey iyawk! Thanks so much for playing!

And ugh I agree! The sound engineering throughout the game is...jarring at some points. Gonna def try and get a better balance for my next game jam!

Oh loved it! great game concept in adding less visual and the sound to find the box was a great idea!

Developer

Hey Miguel! 

Thanks so much for playing! Im glad you liked it!
