Super cool!  Amazing ideas here.  Great graphics as well, and really great job on the music!  Awesome job!  Please check out my game when you get a chance~ Good day!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I'm definitely going to play yours :)

Submitted

I couldn't figure out how to break that poor glass around the start button. So, sadly I wasn't actually able play your game ;-). Though, pretty nice main menu.

Developer

I see, maybe some Brutally High settings can help you ;) Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I can't believe you guys got to make this game in such a short time! Just the sliders would have taken EA months to make!

Developer

Thanks a lot, then maybe we will make some DLCs like AE does to make the sliders even more fancy ahah

Your game is really interesting and unique. The fantasy background makes the game so satisfying. It's really smooth on the bgm switching. I really love the cloud in the sky. Its a really cool shader effect. 

I hope you have a good future in game dev!

Developer

Thanks man, it means a lot! :)

That was fantastic! Probably my favourite game I've played so far in the jam! It's such a simple idea but perfectly executed, really excellent work on this :)

Developer

Thanks man, glad to  read that! :)

Submitted(+1)

HAHA that was great! I loved turning on violence mode, it made me laugh.

Developer(+1)

We're glad it did! :)

Really nice!

Love the song, especially in violence mode^^ 

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it.

 Being a guitar player I had a lot of fun rearranging and playing the main theme in an '80s Hard Rock fashion :)

Nothing other to say than 5/5!

Bravi ragazzi!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Brilliant! Clever riddles and super soundtrack. 

I really enjoyed it :)

Bravi!

Developer

Thank you a lot!!

Better than the sum of its parts, for a quick smirk. Obviously it has no replayability at all, but I did enjoy the puzzles.

I'm of two minds about help button. It did help me get unstuck a few times, but it also lowered the satisfaction of me solving the puzzles.

The graphics work pretty well for what the game is. They are consistent, and where they are not, like in the sliders menus it's still forgivable, because of the quirky nature of the game.

I think this hit the theme pretty well and in an interesting fashion. I had sneaky puzzles, which made the "lie" more subtle and effective.

The audio is solid. I especially enjoyed the violent soundtrack. The only blunder being the medieval song not looping properly.

All in all, a solid entry from my perspective.

Bella giovani, un saluto dal Canada. Statemi bene. :D

Developer

Grazie mille per il commento, molto dettagliato! Sta sera proviamo il tuo e ti facciamo sapere :)

Submitted

Bella, grassie :D

Hai fatto benissimo, grazie mille! :D

Hey, I'm having the same problem as Dan Zeidan unfortunately. How can I start the game now?

Developer

Which version of windows do you have? We know pretty for sure that the game will bug if you are not running windows 10 on your PC!

(+1)

I'm running the newest version of Widows 10 on an "High End PC". 

Developer(+1)

Then we don't really know how to fix that!
I'm sorry, it has worked on several different devices during the test and, apparently, new problems are popping up right now! :S

Ouh, I was so excited to play it :/! Anyways, from what I've seen I imagine the game really good! Thank you for trying to help me.

Sono morto dal ridere! Adoro il vostro gioco. è geniale.

La musica che diventa metal con la violenza alta e 8 bit con la bassa qualità è un tocco d'arte!!

Submitted

Sorry, I tried playing you game but couldn't figure out how to start it.

If you explain it to be I'm willing to give it another try because it looks really nice.

Developer (1 edit)

 Sorry to ear that! If the info button doesn't help you, try to push the start button against something solid in the center of the screen.

Submitted

I tried again and still couldn't figure out.

Maybe this game is just not for me... :(

Developer

Did you followed the suggestion in the infobox in the bottom right corner? It should be helpful to solve most of the problems! :)

Submitted

I did. It said: "Something might block START! It's made of timber and it's not a tree!"

I am not sure what that means, considering that the only thing intractable (besides the other buttons) seems to be a tree in the right that moves when I click it. :P

Developer

Try to repulse the START button towards the center of the screen and then approach it, I'm sorry you got blocked at the very start of our game :S

Submitted

I'm sorry. I must be terribly stupid.

I don't know what that means. All I can do is click stuff with the mouse, right?

Developer

Ahaha, no man you are not, we clearly didn't make it clear enough!

If you just approach the Start button you can move it around the screen, if you manage to push it against the roof (made of timber) of the house in the center of your screen you'll be able to progress.

Submitted

So I suppose there is a bug.

Because as soon as I enter the "Something might block START" mode the button disappears so I can't move the mouse to it anymore :P


Developer

Ok that's totally a bug, sorry for wasting your time!

We tested it and worked well on different PCs, but you are not the only one experiencing unexpected bugs, we thought you were simply having hard times with the riddles so we didn't want to spoil you the game at first! D:

Submitted(+2)

Maledettiiii me l'aspettavo, ma la cover attirava troppo ahah

Developer

Sei riuscito a finirlo? :)

Fantastico il vostro gioco, in quanti siete? Stiamo scrivendo la recensione!

Submitted(+1)

Assolutamente ahah
L'idea è veramente simpatica, comunque noi eravamo in 6
