Let people know how long you've been working on the game
I started the project (12 games, 12 months, 1 story) in January of 2021. This game has been in development on and off for several months. The original game was indented to have a much larger scope but was scaled down to meet the deadline.

Amazing! Didn't get to finish it but really cool.
Really Fun! The story is very interesting and the game is really fun to play with the small puzzle mechanic with choosing the right person to attack enemies. Plan on playing the other games too!
nice game!
will also try the previous games later :)
Thanks! If you do check out any of the previous games, let me know! I'd love to know your thoughts!
Really enjoyed it. Has interesting story elements. Perhaps even trying the previous parts later
Thanks! I recommend at least playing "Out of Time" to get more context on the story, let me know your thoughts if you do try any of the others!
Thank you for the recommendation!
The prequel gives a nice insight into the initially somewhat confusing relationships between the player and the various characters
I would have preferred a downloadable version as this took a long time to load - is it really big? There was a little bit of stuttering (mainly the audio but occasionally the game itself) in my browser, which makes me think so. I won the game and I liked the varied gameplay/character combat traits. I didn't like the Q/E flipping - I'd rather just have number keys for each character. Also, I'm an arrow key player, not WASD, but at least they worked in the levels (though not on the map), so keep that in mind for people who have different keyboards or use different control schemes. Good job. It's the first full Defold game that I've ever seen so it was interesting to see what someone can do with the engine.
Thanks for the feedback!
Music was one of the last things I added in, I had some I pre-purchased that I put in without checking the size. Most levels I can finish in under two minutes, but the shortest music track is live 5. I am going to swap out the music for better tracks when I can put in a post jam version. I also plan on adding a control rebinding menu, that as well as a few other things got left out as I ran out of time. I will also be fixing that.
I've been using Defold since 2018 and very much enjoy it. I haven't messed with the 3D side of things or online play but I feel very confident in using it at the moment. I was able to make 12 games in 12 months with it so I'd say I'm at least decent with it XD.
Thanks for the great feedback, I very much appreciate it!
Very nice!
Thank you!
