Great work! This game reminds me of the Hugo point and click games!
Thanks so much. I am not sure I know that one. I’ll have to check it out. 😁
Let me tell you I had a similar idea when the theme was announced. I started a project with this ageing concept and then after some hours a deleted ir and start from scratch haha. Good to see this concept beeing done well.
Pls, if you have some spare time, check my puzzle game. The main mechanic is time rewind of your bomb, but enemies react to your bomb is different ways. There are 12 levels and you can do they in any order you like. I'd appreciate any rating https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/721302
Sure thing, I’ll take a look now. Thanks for playing our game. We had fun making it and have only seen a few games with the same idea! 😅 Actually saw a couple that did a really good job of it. I love pirates so I think I’ll enjoy your game. We have been streaming a lot of the game from the jam over on Twitch. If you fancy having you game played live let me know and we can stick you on the list. 😊👍
Sure, you can play it live. Send me the link to your channel and I'll watch it
Here you go! https://m.twitch.tv/trianglesquarecirclecube/profile if you follow and hit the bell you should be notified when we next go live, which will be tomorrow afternoon, (UK time). Let us know when you’re on the chat and we’ll play and rate your game live for you. Should help others see it too. 😁
Really enjoyed this one. Makes you stop and think which age you need to get past the rooms.
Thank you for playing our game, really glad you enjoyed it :)
Really liked the concept, very long intro though.
Thanks for the feedback :)
just played old baby man, really good!, the art and the music where great, i would probably make the man a bit faster and add a view cone (maybe a torch light) to the enemies so you can see whether you are safe or not, apart from that. top notch!
Thank you :)
very nice story and aesthetic!
Thanks very much :)
Nice game! It's fun and the gameplay was well done! Good job
Thank you very much! I am happy you enjoyed it.
The Intro is way to long to be unscipable. But other than that the game is great.
Thanks for playing. Glad you liked it.
Hi very nice game, i manage to complete the game and that is rare, this game i like bomber man but in side scroll
That’s great to hear! I’m glad you enjoyed playing. I had loads of fun with your game too. Very colourful and super addictive. I’ll probably end up playing it a bunch! ☺️ Good job. 👍
Great job- the art and music is fantastic! Love the wailing guitars. The stealth gameplay is fun, although I made mincemeat of the bosses with my patented "lay 1000 traps" strategy. I cannot stress enough how great this art is- all the pointing guards being their own unique sprites is just so over the top cool. Amazing work!
I also love that you programmed in the leave-able building, I walked right out to see what it would do. The city looks gorgeous for a sprite most people might not see!
Also, and I cannot stress this enough, the feline development team is adorable.
Thank you so much! That’s so nice of you to say. Rosie (exophagious) made all the art work and it was her first time making pixel art. We are both really happy with how it turned out. I don’t think we’d have got anywhere near finishing if we hadn’t stayed up for days on end but got there eventually! 😂 Thank you for taking the time to play it and I’m really glad you walked out of the lobby level too. I was wondering how many people would find that. We will be updating this game regularly after the voting ends so give us a follow idea you’d like to get notification soon when we change or add stuff. Thanks again for your comment. It’s made us very happy 😁
Followed!
Oh and the feline development team consists of Leonardo and Evelyn by the way. They are adorable! ☺️
Of all the games I played that's related to an "age rewinding" mechanic, I have got to say that this game is the best! I particularly enjoyed the art style as well as the music. Thank you for streaming our game on twitch and thank you for introducing me to this hidden gem of a game jam game. Congrats!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. We really appreciate you taking the time to play it and giving us some feedback. We had a lot of fun making this one and we will be entering more jams in the future for sure. Streaming is great fun and it has been our pleasure to play everyone's games and meet all the devs too. We will try to play as many as we can before the voting ends and help get some smaller games noticed!
This is great! I really like the art style and music - both add a massive amount to the feel of the game. The core concept of the game is a really unique take on the theme, and works very well!
Great game ! really like the beginning scenes pixel, the pixel art when you get caught by the Gard is really good too! I love the music too! Over all good job to you.
We are really glad you enjoyed it. Your game was one of the best in the jam for sure. You have inspired us to do more pixel art games in the future. A very original take on the theme and a great game over all. Can't wait to see what you make next!
I like the music and the gameplay Well done! :D
Thank you! I had fun with your game for sure. I loved the face paced retro vibe to it.
Felt really good! Nice music and nice graphics!
Thanks very much! We just loved your game too. It was so fun and really funny. That alien got me. So messed up. I think you really nailed the theme so well.
I like the art it was cool it sorta fit the music. The mechanic was interesting as well.
Thank you for playing and I am glad you enjoyed it. I had fun making the music for sure.
For some reason the music makes me feel happy :) Great take on the theme.
That’s awesome! So glad you liked it. 😁 Thanks for playing. We tried to do something a little different. Another game called, “Running from your youth” did a similar thing and it’s well worth checking out. They have amazing music! Anyway thanks for your time and comments. 😊
For some reason, Windows doesn't like downloading "Old Baby Man.exe," I mean, it's not suspicious at all!
Also, great pixel art!
Oh yeah! Didn’t think of that. Whoops. 😂 Thanks for playing. Yeah I really love the art too. My girlfriend is responsible for all that. Can’t wait to make the next game.
This was really quite pleasant to play, I love the original artwork and the intro was really well put together.
I don't like to be critical but one thing I didn't like was the forced fullscreen, but that's not really something to mark the game down on, that's just a personal preference.
There was an issue when downloading both the exe and the zip that chrome didn't want to download it and windows wanted to delete it, but the game ran fine after I ignored the warnings and got it downloaded.
Yeah I wasn’t sure about the full screen thing but you can toggle it with f if that helps. I sort of figured the bigger the better! 😂 Really glad you enjoyed it. We loved your game too. Thanks very much for taking the time to play it and commenting too. We are excited to make more games and we’ll continue to stream jam games for the next couple of weeks. Feel free to pop back to twitch and say hi anytime. Might even give your game another go or two. Some many options left to explore! 😁👍
This game is so cool! Loving the art work and the music is mega funky. A really good take on the theme. I can't believe you made cutscenes too! Old Baby Man rocks.
So glad you had fun. We really enjoyed making this one. Remembered to make better music this time! lol Follow us to get notified when we push updates. Also check out our other games too if you fancy it. BIOPHAGE is really cool.
