Very surreal, almost like a Japanese horror game. It needs some polishing, but I'd like to see a full game come from it. Thanks for making!

Developer

Of course! I do admit- this was a bit rushed. I do want to make a more polished version of this game later on

What a cool concept Lance!  I liked the little story and the roguelike-esk gameplay.  I could honestly see this concept growing into some kind of groundhog day game but the decisions you make after each day effect the next run.  Great job again :)

Developer

Thank you!

The game has potential, but the UI/UX needs work. It is very difficult sometimes to understand what is happening and what needs to be done. Great job!

Love how the game looks and sounds. The mechanic is a really nice take on monkey paw and progression. Some combinations are way too hard to pass, but maybe it's the charm of the game. Maybe make a restart button/option for the player.

Overall, great game.

This is an amazing concept, great mechanics. would try out my game and rate it according.

That was very cool. Never would of though of that kind of mechanic !

Impressive take on the theme! Simple but plays well. I bet this can be extended into a great game. Not much feedback, but maybe a better background and some in-game retro music would be good!

Love this monkey's paw take on progression. I was interested to see what each choice would do to the world. I think you should keep going with this idea. Loved the game and would like to see more of it!

Developer

Thanks! I'm considering it

Thank you!

Really great execution of a simple-but effective idea! I think my favorite part of this game is the Golden Man himself. Something about his character model, animations, and his accompanying sound effects really made him a menacing presence, and I think that's really impressive given simplicity of the art style and the short timeframe you had to work within. Great work!

Developer

Thanks! The golden man was my favorite part to work on

This was fun! I like the man's little penguin walk. The choice mechanic is a great idea, but I'm not sure I would want any of those "blessings" for a fancy house :)

Thanks for checking out my game

Pretty unique game, I love how you can choose the consequences and buff. Will be better if there are some effect like SFX and VFX.

Thanks for the feedback
