GAMEPLAY
The game provided a unique and entertaining experience, with an AI voice (if I read that correct) that added a lot of character and humor. The interactive element of clicking around and receiving witty commentary was engaging and enjoyable.

ART STYLE / VISUALS
The pixel art was simple but effective for the game tone.

AUDIO / SOUND DESIGN
The integration of the AI voice with sound effects was well executed, enhancing the comedic and engaging aspects of the game. It fitted well into the context.

INNOVATION
The game was somewhat innovative, especially in terms of incorporating humor effectively into the game.

THEME
The theme of isolation was mentioned but not very deeply explored within the game's context.

Nice, funny entry. Thanks for the laugh 💪😁!

Developer

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback :)

Submitted

The game was very fun! Although I didn't get the "isolation" feeking here... it was actually more of the opposite, with the narrator always talking.

Developer

That wasn't reallly the isolation element I thought of, but rather the animal that has been isolated in his cage all its life. I thought that fits well

Submitted

I liked when the narrator said “I hat you” lol

It was cute, very short. I don’t feel like I understood what I did correctly to get the cage off the screw (just wait long enough I guess?), or what the line about eating bananas was talking about, or what exactly happened from that point to the end except I guess by ramming the wall over and over I won?

To me it could’ve used more clarity, also was not fond of the alarm sound.

But it was cute and clever, and I liked the general vibe. Good work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! So, uhm, I thought it was clear enough, but that is always hard to know if it is your own game. 

You should drag the cage to the upper left corner and release it there. The screw will always move a little counterclockwise and it gets off. 

I was searching for a fun way to get it out of the cage, so I decided to do this through a banana the animal eats so it gets too big for the cage and break out.

And in the end there was a hammer you threw around with the animal and break everything.

Submitted

Promise I was good faith trying to understand! I checked it out again, the banana read as a sword to me at first, and then I thought it was maybe a key that opened the lock. The monster then chases after the hammer if you drag it around, so I think I thought it was like maybe a box of food he was trying to get to? 😅

Submitted

The artwork, the concept, the voice everything amazing. It reminded me of "There is no game". I don´t see to much the theme, just in the creature and the box, but that is not like the main idea of the game. Very good game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I thought the theme would be well enough if I focused the whole game on freeing a being that was Isolated, but you are not the first one to complain about this. I appreciate the feedback

The AI voice was amazing and it was so funny to rebel against it and hear it say NOO or ARE YOU INSANE that was really enjoyable.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

This AI voice is so funny lol. I have never played this "genre" of game but I liked it a lot. The art style is very coherent. I wish there was fullscreen tho.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! There is a fullscreen button at the upper right corner (at least for me)

Submitted

Havent seen it before lol

The game was pure fun! Although it wasn't that innovative, but was indeed a good entry (no pun intended).

Developer

Thanks!

Preface

The rating is based on my personal preferences alone. Generally, I'm pretty open to new experiences, but I prefer games where lots of things happen. I tend to be a harsh critic.

I have finished the game.

Gameplay/Fun

There is nothing to complain about. Fun all the way through.

Art Style/Visuals

There is nothing to complain about. The pixel art looks good!

Audio/Sound

While it's all taken from somewhere else, the music, sound design and voice acting are great! Even if it's an AI's voice.
"I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat you!"

Innovation

There is no game. Or is there?
It's There is No Game all over again.

Theme

You're freeing the animal from isolation, but there's also you and the narrator, so it only kind of fits.

Verdict: Either way, awesome game!

RATING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it

Submitted

What a fun entry, blast to play.

Developer

Thank you!

i like the game but it is a copy of "There is no game"

Developer(+1)

Not really. I've never played the game myself. I think it's a bit of a shame that as soon as someone creates a game in which you have to work against a narrator, the game is considered a copy of "There is no game"

Submitted (1 edit)

I see where your getting at but in reality there are other games like "Will you snail?" where you go against the narrator but cannot be reffered as a copy. Your game just has too much resemblance to "there is no game".Btw how do you create voice acting, i would love to know

Developer(+1)

I'll try that game. The voice acting is by AI from a webside called elevenlabs

Submitted

sure thing, thanks

Developer

no problem

Submitted
