I like the atmosphere of the game, the music setting and light completes the experience. The walking sound effect, and the lens effect on the screen is also good. I wonder if the spikes could have one more animation step, where the spikes are completely out, not just peeking up from he holes (I died once thinking it was safe.) The camera can be zoomed out just a little bit (maybe not needed since the atmosphere is a bit creepy/scary.)

The graphics are nice, and the controls work well. I’m not sure what the purpose of the power up was, but it looks like you have thought about extending the game with more power ups maybe.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing, and for the feedback.  the purpose of the powerup is to make the spikes fall down faster and move faster, and yes I am planning on extending the game with more powerups.

Fantastic visual style, lighting, CRT effect, dynamic shadows. Spikes were a little hard to see at first, but eventually I got used to it. Would be nice to have some indication whether you collected all people or no. It seems like otherwise game just restarts once you reach the end of the level.

Thank you for playing. The idea of the game is a time loop. meaning trying to figure out a way to break out of the loop before it resets. If I make indictions your job as a player would feel boring and easy. But maybe i am wrong 🤷‍♂️.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Very nice graphics and idea. I suppose you are planning another way the fast forward power could affect the game play? It could be really awesome. Also it could be fun to add some challenges that seem impossible the first time you encounter them but, after you play the second time it is easy to avoid. Take a look at the Edge of Tomorrow movie to see what I mean :) 

Developer

Thank you for playing, and for such useful input. I actually am planning on making the fast-forward power useful for other things, as I am planning on adding powerups. My idea was in fact inspired by the movie in some way.

Thank you!

The Visual and music fit together and create a nice atmosphere. The menu design is also good, though the vibes are different from the main game, or maybe it's just me. Good game.

Developer

Thank you for playing. And thank you for the honest feedback :)

I enjoyed rescuing those scared boxes. I managed to get them all out and break the time loop. Very good display of game atmosphere from visual aesthetics to music. Good job and congrats finishing the game.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! I am glad that you liked the game.

I liked the spooky CRT look. Music fit nicely. It was a bit to hard for me.

Developer

thank you for playing, sorry to hear that. Can you specify why and how it was hard for you ?

Submitted(+1)

LOVE the retro style graphics, reminds me of those green pallette CRTs, well done game! The music is goes nicely with the weird atmosphere and the sounds are great! Good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your uplifting comment!

Interesting game, playing it I noticed some good and bad parts about it.

The good parts:

1. The general aspect of the game (the quality of the game) is amazing for a 2D game. (it even gives you the feeling of 3D)

2. The tutorial is extremely useful.

3. The UI is very well done.

4. Hilarious idea of "time loop" when the game restarts (this if you probably don't meet the necessary condition).


The bad parts:

1. Lack of audio feedback (the game has no background music, the character has no sound when walking).

2. The people you save sometimes slow you down when you turn the corner and "stick to the wall" and slow you down.

3. Although the game has a tutorial, the first time I played the game I took many saved people with me and when I went through the gate with them the game restarted. When I played again, I realized that I had forgotten to take another person with me and that's why the level restarted. (maybe a little more explanation in the game description would help, because I was scared when I heard that there is a "special condition" to get out of the bubble).

4. You cannot move faster than if you go in a straight line and not diagonally (this is more of an observation).

5.The game loads very slowly in the browser (it takes about 30 seconds to load, maybe the game has some assets that increase its size)?

But good game. I liked very much!
