I really don't see how this game is on topic with this jam I feel like the idea was already around before the jam started.

But I really like the retro feel I have playing this game, greate job :)

Agree, and it even feels like a rip off of one of the Highlighted games on past year's GMTKJam: https://radcodex.itch.io/castle-demonstone

The embedded game didn't work properly for me - space scrolled the page down, which was quite awkward. The downloaded version worked fine, though. The game didn't feel particularly inspired, but the presentation was neat and the game worked fine. I only wish either the player moved faster or there was a sprint button - it took too long to move around. Also, being able to turn off the audio - it was too loud for me, and there was no volume slider, sadly. Still, well done!

Good game, great level design. Quite reminiscent of DROD (but easier and simpler). I wish you could move a little faster. It's frustrating experimenting with the mechanics when the game can't keep up with my inputs. I actually stopped playing because of that! If it had a faster move mode, maybe I'd have persevered.

I played quite a few levels. I wasn't stuck or bored of them by the time I decided to move on. I was just frustrated that it wasn't being respectful of my time.

It's beautifully polished for a games jam effort. I don't really see how it fits the theme, and I don't think I'd call it pretty as such. But it is very high quality.

Great game!

Just make the theme the forefront next time.

Who made this Spaceship??

AxolotSubmitted3 years ago

Its a fun game but I feel like it could have explored the theme a bit more. However, I really liked the feeling of trespassing which was explored here, the game has a good atmosphere. :)

Cool game, good level design, but the game didn't really fit the theme. Also, a tutorial would be great. Overall, it was a nice experience.

The stairs move down. Does this mean we're moving down the "tower?" I'm also not too sure how this fits the theme. Aside from that it has moderate level design.

Great game, some levels are a bit tricky but so much fun. Took a while to go through all levels. Really recommend!

MrSquishSubmitted3 years ago

The puzzle aspect is really good, however I don't see a connection to the theme. Also would be nice if you could move quicker.

The game isn't bad although it doesn't match the theme at all. The constant same footstep.wav is a bit annoying to hear.

Surprisingly nice puzzle game with simple mechanics. Good job.

You really need to pay attention to the order you do moves. In that respect, out games are quite similar.

Control: Override (Jam + Postjam version)

Theming issues aside, this is an amazing example of the power of game design. The puzzle design and story telling really dragged me in and kept me playing for a long time. Really impressive, great job!

Very fun and simple game, reminds me a lot of Castle Demonstone from a previous GMTK Game Jam, which is a very good thing as I felt it needed more levels!

Cool mechanics and level design. It would be nice if the actions were a little faster (especially since an error results in a room reset) but otherwise pretty well made.

Nice general feel of the game, but i had to double tap the interaction key to do things. might be a bug you want to look into? Great game otherwise!

JonnySubmitted3 years ago

Level design really elevates this!

The game is nice and fun, and the puzzles are interesting! Very nice game and concept!
