I made stuff happen :D The voice over was especially good! The visuals and mechanics were all very unique and innovative :) It did feel a little slow but it's a nice change from a lot of games, the philosophy aspect was very interesting and trippy, great job :D
Need to start learning the Chud Engine for my next big hit. Loved the game, If I were to give some feedback, the dash drag could have a max limit, cuz rn you can get more/less dash depending on your screen size, which isn't the best design
That's absolutely true! I guess I must have gone with the wrong type of viewport scaling.
Wow, really great game, I'm a bit surprised, I was expecting some comedy with memes but it was a really good game, really innovative.
It's a shame when you think it's just looks like a shitposting game by its cover and you come across something so interesting, try to take care of the cover, the other people needs to test this game!
Of course, there's things to say about the game design.
You should warn when the room is cleared or you can do like mario (when you collect the object you go back to the main world / lobby with a little feedback).
Like i was expecting a comedy, i didn't understand the adventurous part of the game.
The design of chud mixed with the color of the screen reveal seems weird, it's something super smooth vs shitpost hand drawing, if it was indeed intentional, try to put some funny stuff inside or not expected, surprise us!
They are interesting mechanics that could have been more exploited (the limited number of reveal, ).
You made a great story! (I was a bit distracted at the beginning but i replayed it just to listen)
Let's talk about the part of the revealing, it's so cool! It reminds me some game with the mechanics of blind people where you need to make sound to reveal the area, but at the same the monster detect you if you make noise (I don't remember the game, it was some years ago i saw it).
There's voice acting, that's sick! The voice is totally convicing and the actor put effort, we can see it!
This game reminds me a bit of Outer wild in some way, you enter the first room, boom, you discover you can dash and after you go back to the main world / lobby, you see you can take the first object that we saw on the tower and even continue to the left, super great mechanic!
So overall, I had fun! Congratz and keep the good work!
Never heard of the Chud Engine, but it seems a great one! Did you did the voice over (or am I just out of touch on my memes?), cause that was very well done. The game wouldn't run on my Mac, but somehow on my iPad Pro (with keyboard). Great narrative though!
Thanks for the compliments! A member of our team did the voiceover, although it wasn't me.
He did an amazing job :)
He sure did.
Very fun game, the memes aren't used as a simple facade for a shitpost, there's actual gameplay behind all this. It's simple, but it's a full and well constructed package neatly wrapped in a funny story!
It's a uniquely fresh game. Though the art style is unconventional, I still played through to the end. A minor note: using the same button for jumping and entering doors can cause issues when doors are placed near platform edges, as it prioritizes entering the door instead of jumping. Other than that, it’s quite enjoyable!
The intro was very well done. Loved the mechanic of revealing everything. This was really great and immersive experience for me to play through. The narrative style was really great.
Improvements that I think could be made:
Visual sprites improvement really took away for me the game experience which felt serious and professionally done.
I think an audio slider is needed it was very high volume set.
This really is happening. Cool game!
Really cool map reveal mechanic! I liked launching myself all over the place, but I got stopped a few times when clicking "W" in front of a door. The background music loop reminded me of Jevil from Deltarune. I have to admit the maze with the colorful faces got a little frustrating for a bit but I came back to it a while later and it was a walk in the park.
I really enjoyed this one! Such a fun concept to reveal the map by holding/clicking the mouse button. Innovative for sure :O
Nothing ever happens though.
An innovative idea. Good one.
Very neat concept! I seemed to get in a weird game state where nothing was being revealed with clicks. Refreshing seemed to fix it. Love the art and music!
Definitely a unique game! Controls were a little frustrating next walls.
I liked the visuals and the main mechanics, but the fact that you can return to the previous level through the doors at the beginning I was very disoriented and I spent two minutes trying to understand where to go, in the end I did not understand where to go on the level with multicolored smiley faces.
Very uniqe and innovative. Game design is really clever. Also permenides is ugly.
This is him btw.
Your way of expressing him (in game version) is very uniqe? Also he made fun of me so...
Great visual design idea!
very interesting i jump in the pit in the final i think i win?, very fun game
This game is so friggin awesome. I now know nothing ever happens... thanks chuds
I had a good time playing this short game. Found a bug where I entered the final door from the ground rather than doing the climb up to the top.
