Lovely concept, well fitting music and lots of humor from the Scientists (Game over man, Game over !)
The wall jumps were fun, until I gathered too many scientists, at that moment they became more of a hassle which is a shame as was enjoying the game a lot until that time.
I even thought I got myself stuck when all the other scientists landed on top of me, but then I remembered I could switch.
Great job overall !
Thank you for playing the game and I'm glad you enjoyed it, we plan on developing this further after the jam, with performance improvements at the top of the list.
So that's what it feels to be stuck under so many scientists. It's definitely fun, and I'm not good at platforming so it didn't help, but I think it's enjoyable.
lol thank you for playing, the scientist pile-up adds an extra challenge but you can switch with tab if you get stuck, A switch can also bring in an extra challenge though if you have followers then move into danger from a safe position.
This is a really fun game with a surprising number of surprises. Although it did get hectic at times, it was really fun trying to navigate the whole group of scientists around. Once I figured out, I could jump them off of each other I was having a blast! Nice job.
Thank you for such lovely feedback and thank you for playing. It was fun to make and we are going to carry on with it after the jam.
This is a delightful blend of quirky humor and engaging mechanics. The chaotic movement of the caffeinated scientists adds a fun challenge, and the retro-inspired music sets the perfect tone. While managing the swarm can be a bit hectic, especially when they get stuck, the game's charm shines through. A brief tutorial level could help new players get their bearings. Overall, a creative and enjoyable experience, great job!
Thank you and thank you for playing the game, It has been a lot of fun to work on, especially in the last 2 days when it finally started coming together. We plan to make it into a full game with an intro and tutorial. This was our first 2d game, but I don't think it will be the last.
Movement is hectic but in a fun way. Music was great too.
Thank you for playing the game :)
This was great, kind of reminded me of Lost Vikings :) Interesting concept and game mechanics. Nice job!
Thank you for playing the game and thank you for the nice feedback :)
Music was great and very much reminded me of playing NES games as a kid. Good job!
Thank you for playing the game :)
Weeeee. The movement is so fun. The music fits so well. Honestly I could have started the game with my eyes closed and just listening to the music would have given me a good idea what kind of thing it was.
I did find it hard at first to know where to go and so I think implementing a really really basic level first just to learn what the goal is would make this even better but that's more of an idea for if you develop it further in future.
Great work and a lot of fun!
Thank you for playing the game, and thank you for the feedback, we will continue this project and build in an intro and starting level after the jam
The stairway to heaven is long, haha. Would be nice to zoom out and manage the Doctors easier, they got stuck everywhere because I tried to collect them all, ops. Funny, almost Half Life vibes
Thank you for playing the game, there is a zoom on the mouse wheel or do you mean free movement on the camera through the level?
Really cool concept, I really like the mechanics of expanding your followers and using them in different situations, I don't think I have encountered that before :D Time seemed to scale up as I progressed in the game so at one point everyone where flying around everywhere which made it a bit difficult to control. Other than that, I think the artstyle and sounds where nice also :-)
Thank you for playing the game I think we will continue to develop the game starting with performance improvements
Good job with your game. I like all the comments from the coworkers. The workers really did have too much caffeine 'cuz they were going everywhere. It made it a little hard to control. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for playing the game, I'm pretty sure I will develop this further with better controls for setting followers
Cute game. Was a bit confused one where to go, and I had to restart because I got stuck under the door.
Thank you for playing the game, I've now fixed the door based on your feedback
It was a fun game. The movement and remarks are funny. I enjoyed it a lot. I struggled to find where to go, though. But other than that, it was a great submission.
Thank you for playing and I have taken the feedback on board :)
