Well paced mini adventure! Both the art and sound are simple but well done, selling the atmosphere of a lonely space station. The rotating enemies attack feels a bit nonsensical , sometimes it feels like it ropes you in, or damages you after the fact. Overall an engaging experience that gets bonus points since it could work on console :]
The atmosphere you create within the limits of the gameboy is incredible. Very cool game.
Really tidy graphics. I liked the variations on the floor tiles, and the pipes and computers were really atmospheric.
The gameplay felt quite slow when you combined the slow movement speed of the character and backtracking. I found the map difficult to use, but I navigated by hugging the right wall.
The combat was a nice touch, it felt liberating to be able to avenge the damage the spikes gave me earlier!
Thanks for the detailed feedback! Yeah, I spent more time on the graphics than anything else and should have worked a bit more on gameplay, but hey it was 11 days! Agree on the slowness - and others have said similar. Will look into speeding up the player and optimising some screens post jam - gb studio seems to slow down with too much going on! Cheers!
Very ambitious puzzle game! I really like the map and the sci-fi aesthetic.
Impressed that you did this in 11 days. And it is an actual GameBoy game!
I hope I find more games as yours because I really enjoy puzzles. Nice that you included a map as well.
Good job!
BTW, my game is also a puzzle/zelda game, if you want to give it a try =) Thanks!
Really awesome puzzle game. I haven't finished it yet, but playing it on my Game Boy was satisfying as hell, well done!
Very cool game, i beat the aliens boss! The graphics are very beautiful. Only the movespeed could be a little bit faster.
Thanks for this - well done! Thanks for the feedback too - really appreciated. There are a lot of improvements to make - it was a bit of a rush at the end and I was wrestling with GB Studio a lot. The game slows down if there are too many "actors" on screen which may be the problem - I used actors for the UI so would need to rethink it all a bit... Cheers!
