A unique puzzle game with interesting mechanics. The journey of a dad to survive the perils of going out to get milk.

Pros: great puzzle/level design, truly unique mechanic, neat art style, simplistic design.

Cons: could have used more sound FX, some of the tiles didn't loop and felt a bit pasted together, I think the adherence to the theme is questionable (more die to progress than and end is a new beginning) but it still works reasonably well, the music fit the vibe but it gave me a headache :/ overall I think it could have used more polish. I don't feel like it needed to be as long as it was, I think that having fewer levels with more polish (added SFX, slightly more refined music, custom UI, etc) would have benefited this game a lot.

Overall this is a really solid and innovative puzzle game and certainly ambitious for a jam. In terms of gameplay and creativity one of my favorites so far.

The puzzles are really challenging and innovative, I like it! the game fits pretty well with the theme, too. Although, i found a glitch to where you can go out of bounds by spamming forward extremely fast into a wall. The graphics could be improved a bit, but you did a really good job on the puzzles!

Developer

thanks, I am very glad that everyone likes my puzzle design because this is my first puzzle game and third game

Had a few issues playing on WEBL, but build is working ok. Interesting idea, pretty hard puzzles, love it!

Developer

Thanks, I am aware of the web gl issues.

I think that this concept was really unique! 5 stars in innovation from me! The puzzles were also really intresting in my opinion! Though there is still a lot of room for improvement for graphics and audio, but still this was a good game!

Developer

Thanks for the comment

Interesting concept ngl

Developer

Thanks

The puzzle is very confusing, i really have no idea whats actually happening and mainly clear the level by random actions lol. A nice try nonetheless

Developer

Thanks, do you have any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

and also the camera having seizures is just a small bit of camera shake

You might be able to request a late upload for the WebGL build. I think I saw someone mention that on Discord.

Developer

Sorry but there is an error when playing this game on a browser but you can play it if you install it

Submitted

Unable to play within the browser so I downloaded it.

The concept is quite interesting I liked the mechanic of dying to switch on/off levers, nice job !

There's just something unclear about some tiles your drew, I was sure that bricks were walls, but in the end you could walk on them ? Got me confused, I still dunno if it's a bug or intended.

Developer

It is intended for the puzzles, it says at the top of the second level. I know it is confusing, my parents also got confused even though I was telling them what to do, do you have any suggestions on how to improve the tutorial, thanks. 

Submitted

I believe that you should keep the tileset simple. Especially since it is a puzzle game, you want your player to know at a glance where it can move and interact. So keep your yellow tiles to say that it's a walkable area, if you want to make your levels prettier by using other walkable tiles, keep them the same color or tone so that you dont have a drastic change in aesthetics.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I actually added the tiles because of how I made the game, I made it use an if statement after you collide and then you go back, so having floor tiles made it easier to make the walking on walls.

Submitted

Nicely done! Someone has been clearly working hard!

Developer

Thanks, This is my best game so far and I am planning to continue improving my skills, I've joined a few game jams, do you think the jams will help me improve my skills.
