You did a good job and it looks great altho it seems to just be a clone of APE OUT

Wow! This is my favorite game I've rated so far. Everything about it is amazing, not much more to say. Great Job! I hope this wins the jam.

Please rate my game if you have the chance.

Developer

Thanks so much, that means a lot!

(Haven't played many yet but when I get time I'll try yours out :D)

Awesome graphics! Amazing gameplay! At times super chaotic as well. The art style really was awesome, I especially liked the animation of grabbing people in or grabbing a wall, it was so satisfying. Really fun game. The main critique I could give is that the red enemies that were bombs weren't super clear how to use, with the left and right click, as it doesn't always shoot when I want it to, but sometimes do when clicking the same buttons, I figured it was some timing thing. Also the exit was a little bit hard to find for the last red level. Loved your game!

Would also appreciate it if you play and rate ours! Thanks.

Developer

Thanks so much for all the feedback! Yeah, wish I had time to improve the tutorial and fix small details like the exit gates

This has strong Ape Out vibes, love it

Developer

Thanks yeah it was a massive inspiration :D

Submitted(+1)

Great game! The level and how it is revealed reminds me of another game I played long ago. Liked the the mechanics, the enemy variants, style and audio. All round a very polished game jam game that could easily be worked on more as a full release.

Developer

Thanks so much, it was heavily inspired by Ape Out  if thats what your thinking of :D

Submitted(+1)

Great game! The mechanics are well fleshed out, the sounds are great and the art was incredible (remind me of ape out). I think some fast paced music would add on to the tension/vibe of the game. Well done!

Developer

Thanks so much! Yeah, Ape Out was a massive inspiration and learning to compose music is something id love to do one day

Awesome game with nice visual and audio !! 

Awesome job!!!

Developer

Thanks so much!

Howdy!

I thought that the controls and handling were super solid, moving around felt smooth and fun!

To give some feedback while playing I felt that the best strategy was just to avoid everything which kinda went against the vibe of being a creature that has escaped, especially with that enemy type that blew up.

I really enjoyed the vibe and the thought that went into the color scheme and the camera view was really noticeable and impressive. Awesome job!

Developer

Thank a lot! Yeah, wish I had time to balance the combat more and get the enemy behaviour right

Submitted

I really liked the gameplay. It was very well produced, but I couldn't understand the chaos and the objective of the game.

But I really liked it, congratulations.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah the chaos elements/story could ve been comveyed much better, with some better levels and combat. 

Very Jucy!! Love How it felt!

Developer

Thanks :D

Submitted

I really liked your mechanics a lot and your graphics were great for this type of game! All of the little details such as the death animation really bought a lot of life to the game for me and made it super enjoyable! Great job!

Great game, specially the aesthetics.

The mechanics of grabbing and punching are interesting, but I think the game could provide more situations to use them in different ways. I say that because now it seems to me that there are only one way to go about the enemies: grab them and punch them.

The best way I can think of to achieve that would be making the enemies only attack you when they can see you. This way you could choose to go stealth about it in some situations. I understand that maybe this is not the idea for this game, since the theme of the game jam is "chaos", but I'm already trying to go slowly anyway, since you can reach enemies before entering their shooting range (so you are not rewarded for going fast). 

Great game anyway!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah, improving the enemy behaviour would definetly help the comat feel much better and would let you play steathly or "run n gun". If I had more time that would probably be my main focus :D

Submitted(+1)

This game is one of the best I played. Really enjoyed it.

Developer

Thanks so much!

Dude this game is awesome! The setting, the graphics, it felt really unique. Maybe you could polish the sound design a little more but this is one of the best submissions I´ve tried yet. Great job!

Developer

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!
