How does your game fit the theme?
So ughhh its in like this post-apocalypse time period and the world is like starting anew, and also you play this guy who was killed when the nuclear war started and he's like resurrected as a living slime so it's like a new start for him.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yeah, all music was made using 1BitDragon, all sound effects were made using SFXR, all sprites - using Aseprite and all the code was done using my hands.

Very nice looking game, controls really well outside of the climbing. Did have some issues with reading dialogue though. Great job overall!

Submitted(+1)

Noce looking game, with great sense of humor. Character controller is very fast, with exceptionally slow climb movement (unless you use space to jump while climbing)

Developer

Glad you liked the visuals :D
Also the thing is... You can only climb if u jump when u hold onto the wall, there's no actual climbing involved :)

Submitted(+1)

The movement seems a little bit too fast that I could jump to the boss immediately. Pretty fun game, though.

Very fun game. I am glad to be able to brush my teeth once more

Pretty Solid Game! Had a lot of fun whilst playing it!
also I've found this random bug somehow, I don't even know how it happened:

Developer(+1)

Oh thanks!
Yeahhhhhhh... I forgot to freeze Z rotation on rigidbody of the boss xD

Really fun game, well made!

Nice game, had fun playing it, but I really think it could use some checkpoints. Having to rerun the whole map, because I can't play was really annoying.

Cool game design.  There were a couple of issues with t he game play.   The text was too small to read and trying to play with one hand (due to placement of the controls) cause issues with the climbing.  Minor things.  Really good job!

Developer

Thanks!
The text thing resolves itself if u play in fullscreen, but it's a bit tricky to open from time to time for some reason... :D

I really like the sprite design and music! The movement was a bit fast and I found the climbing mechanic to be a bit tricky to pull off unless I used both hands. The atmosphere was really great; it has a SteamWorld Dig vibe that I really enjoyed.

Submitted(+1)

Love the movement, I had some bugs with the UI but apart from that lovely game!

Submitted

Cool game! I like the movement a lot and the music is also very nice, reminds me a lot of old flash games. My only advice would be to have a some kind of reward for killing enemies / making it necessary to kill them. Other than that great work :)!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! 

Yeah, I got a lot of reviews mentioning these things, I'm def gonna work on that after the jam :D

Submitted

This was fun, very zippy lol. Unfortunately the text was far too small to read, even on full screen, and it often spilled out of the text box (white text is probably the better bet when on a somewhat dark background). I did find and beat the end boss too!

Developer

I may have F-ed up with UI canvas sizes... It should look normal if you play in fullscreen tho, like if you put the game to 1920x1080

Submitted

Ahh, gotcha. I've been there before with text boxes not scaling the way I wanted. I've had UIs end up crumpled messes due to running the game at a different resolution lol

Submitted(+1)

LOL, funny game. Maybe add a checkpoint? I liked the look of the game tho. Loved the cut scenes too. Play my game!

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed the game... I came until the bossfight and killed the boss but nothing happened. I went back a little and went forth again and the boss respawned but nothing happened... Appart from that I think it was a great game!

Developer

Thanks! 

Yeah, that part of the game is kinda unfinishe :D

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed playing this game, the only thing that bit me in the butt was that it could've used checkpoints. Good game in general. Good work looks like someone put some effort into this.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! 

Well the game's only like 3 levels long at this point, so Im not so sure it needs checkpoints, you can beat it in like 5 minutes :D

I'm glad u liked it!

I didnt play much of it, but the artwork is REALLY good! the background and assets of the levels look great with everything else. the game has a good amount of juice to it also. My one gripe with it, though, is that the player moves way too fast for my liking. But still, great job on this! :D

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

I liked the game play. The text was really hard to read tho.

Developer

Oh thanks, 

the text isnt displaying right if you don't have fullscreen on :D

Submitted(+1)

This game has really great vibe. Feels like I'm peacefully walking at summer evening except it's post-apocalyspe and there are enemies everywhere.

Wanted to get into story but text was very small and hard to read. Also dash is kinda too long so I ended up almost not using it.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! :D

If you open the game in full-screen it fixes the dialogue.

Submitted(+1)

This game has a great mood, and visually it all connects together. The dialogue is great, and the light-hearted story about recovering a toothbrush amidst a nuclear wasteland is hilarious.

Regarding feedback, I found little reason to fight enemies until the last boss. After a few tries, I ended up avoiding them completely and just dashing across the whole game until I got to the boss. Also, when you die, it'd be cool if something changed.

The boss fight was straightforward but engaging, took me a couple tries because I was getting there low on life, but all in all it was satisfying. Playing the game was a lot of fun, great work! I remember seeing your progress on discord!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! 

Yeah I kinda realized fighting enemies was kinda meaningless to the end of the development, so I added some obstacles as well :D

I actually do want to finish this project after I'm done with my current one, and give it more of a metroidvania feel, so I'll def work on that! 

(I already have most of the code ready for stuff like shops/inventory/powerups from my last projects :D)

Finding of a toothbrush was meant to be like a prologue to this whole story of exploring the world, but I wouldnt've fit it in 1 week of work ;)
