The game was a nice little puzzle game. I liked the level design and was stumped for a good portions of it. Nice job!

-R

Developer

Thank you very much!

Good idea. I think it's worth polishing the game, adding sounds, music, animations. But it's good work!

Developer

That is very much planned, the moment the jam is over

Fun puzzle + good looking with all its blood! But R for Restart doesn't work for me somehow :( Also Backspace key - is very far from other keys on the keyboard.
At first didn't realize that you can infest people so stuck for some time. 
Also holding and pressing keys is not very convenient for me here, I would change it to something "Press 'E' to infest person in front of you".

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, we'll consider some changes to the controls for a more polished version :D

Submitted

Pretty difficult and unforgiving, a tutorial explaining when infecting is useful would had been great. I liked the icon and I was a little bummed when that was not in the game. Also, as some other people mentioned, some music and SFX would make it go a long way.

Submitted

Solid puzzle game. Couldn't quite complete all the levels something like a hint system might've been nice. Also some sci-fi retro music track would make the final product much better!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing the game. The hint system is actually a good idea, we will definitely think about it. 

Submitted

Very solid game! Graphics are good and the core gameplay idea is actually cool. Really like the way the guards decay as you move with them, also a nice touch that you get another box for the guard health as you move with their body. Solid entry! Missing some more sound effects and music though, and I got stuck on two levels, luckily you made it so that we could skip them ;)

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for playing our game! We were planning on adding sounds, but unfortunately did not have enough time. A new version with them and the bug fixes will be up after a jam.

Submitted(+1)

The game is actually quite fun. It took me quite some time to figure out that I was supposed to infect the guards. I recommend checking if the number of actions taken is higher than 0 on the UndoTurn thing, since it bugs when you do it at the start.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!

As for that specific bug, the check is actually implemented. The problem is caused by it not resetting when it should, but we sadly didn't have the time to fix it before the deadline.

Cool little puzzle game. Saw another game that had the same concept of your life decaing that also had a work, it was called Olgoi, but that one was real time.

Developer

Thank you so much! We saw the Olgoi as well and it's a very interesting coincidence that others had the same idea as us, but came up with a different execution.

I think its because im dumb but most of the levels are so hard. I like the 3D pixel look on the models

Developer

Thank you very much. All the models except for the ones listed on the page were created by us during the jam. The levels can get  tricky, but I found it very useful to use tab to learn the specific paths of the enemies.

Exciting game, I like it

Developer

I’m glad that you enjoyed the game.

Nice idea and a lot of levels. 

Some audio would make it better.

Developer

Thank you very much. We plan on adding it after the jam.

Interesting mechanic, however, I'm confused at how some of the levels are even meant to be possible. Although, I'm not sure if I'm just getting unlucky and running into bugs that are making the levels incompleteable. That aside, I think you could make this game feel a lot more satisfying to play with some sound effects and less delay on the movement. Try to make every action snappier and more impactful! Anyways, good work :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing our game. We had a soundtrack ready, but unfortunately couldn’t add it in time to submit for the Jam. We’re working on a new version that will be up after, and it will definitely include more polish and bug fixes. I’m glad that you liked it. 

did level 3 is possible

Submitted(+1)

I'm surprised by the sheer number of levels you made on top of a fairly sophisticated mechanic. I found myself discovering a new bug every other level, but thanks to the undo button it didn't impede my enjoyment of the game all too much. Good work in general, fantastic considering this is a Jam!

Developer

Thank you very much! I’m glad that you liked the game and didn’t find the bugs that frustrating. We are aware of the existing bugs and are working on the fix currently that will be uploaded once the jam has ended.

Really good game, bit rough around the edges but the mechanics all work well, visuals are fantastic and there are plenty levels to play. Really nice stuff.
