The music was great :D! And the pixel graphics were pretty too :), although they made the text a bit harder to read.

I found the UFO very slippery and hard to control. Most of the time I found myself flying on the bottom of the screen, which probably isn't the intended experience :D. Both UFO and grounded had huge and unforgiving hitboxes, making the game feel a little unfair.

But other than that, it's a nice game :). Beating the levels felt rewarding :D. Good job!

Thanks for honest feedback! You're not the only one who complained about the font and it's understandable, my bad.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the game anyway!

Pretty darn fun, if perhaps a bit challenging at times, over was a fun play.

Nicely done, :3

Developer

Thanks for taking your time and playing the game! I'm happy to hear it wasn't an easy one to finish ;)

Man, this is way harder than it looks.

Very ambitious to have so many different game types in the one game but they do build on each other nicely.

I found the hitboxes to be a bit stingy, that is there were times I felt I shouldn't have been hit but was.

But man the music was really good! Gave a lot of gravitas to the feeling of the game. Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I'm super happy you enjoyed it ;)
Have you finished it? :P

Submitted(+1)

I didn't finish it I'm afraid. I got frustrated in the section where you're chasing after the farmer.

Developer

Oh, ok :P

Well, maybe some day!

Amazing work with this one. It is a really fun game and has a lot of charm.

Gameplay wise, I loved the physics-based movement. Seems more than appropiate for a game that takes place in space. Graphics have a lot of charm to them, and the audio part of the game is amazing for a 10 day time constraint. I guess my only "complaint" (and probably just me nitpicking) is the font, since it can get really hard to read at some points.

Other than that, an amazing job. 

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing!!!

Quick notes though, music was made by my friend, John Gray (link to his channel on the game page).

I'm working on a bigger font right now, since you're not the only one who complained about it.


Thanks for taking your time and discovering the mysteries of cheese craftsmanship!

Well that was the dark souls of space games complete with stamina bar. God damn that's challenging, nice job! Music really stands out and has a spacey epic vibe. well done.

Developer

Thanks a lot!

I liked the game! The only one thing I have to say  as feedback is the text, sometimes is it hard to read with this font. And another thing is the "J" key, when I was in menu I was trying to press 'Enter' or 'Space' to continue, but it was "J" key, which was weird for me. Apart from these two things, I think the game fits perfectly the jamcraft :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! I definitely agree on your complaints; I'm working on a new, bigger font and about the J key, some people also told me it's not that great. For my defense I can only say that on splash screen there is a text that blinks in and out that states to press the J to start.

Thanks for playing!

I like the charm this game has. the music, the graphics, and the story

but I noticed some of the flaws in your game that make me so frustrated


first,  The hitbox :

right now, I think this is the hitbox(or collision box) for this game

This makes sense for the sprites but this makes actual gameplay seems unfair.

for example, this count as collided

most games have smaller hitboxes then they appear to make it more fairer to players :



next, the movement

As the mastergammler said, the controls are too 'floaty'.

it's pretty awesome to see some physics stuff like a momentum, acceleration things like that but I think it doesn't fit too well in this game and wished it was toned it down a bit.


And beating the boss( the final chapter ) felt like it was just luck than my skill and the first part reminded me of the Getting over it.


still,  I really like the awesome music, cute and simple graphics and the story and like how each chapter has it's own gameplay mechanics, it's really cool that you made it in 10 days.  it took me about 45 minutes to  beat this game on my first playthrough,  just with some more polish this could be a very fun game!

Nice job!


minor thing, you can just skip chapter 1 by just going straight from the bottom of the screen.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot... That's an in depth comment for sure. Wow, I'll try to improve these things, thanks a lo

Developer(+1)

P.S. You're almost right on the hitboxes ;)

Developer

Also, I will polish the game once the jam ends. Once again, thanks for such an advanced feedback and time you spent in the game

A nice little game which makes very good use of the jam themes. I just have a few notes: You have a nice story, but the text is very hard to read, i would recommend using a higher resolution so you can actually enjoy what is written and are not stuck trying to understand hieroglyphics. In Chapter 2: The moving plattform doesn’t spawn very ofter, which is very frustating if you fall of and then also have to wait 10 minutes for the next one to spawn. In Chapter 3: There is the similar thing with the falling plattform, just that i have to wait out one extra round because the ‘stop time function’ is reloding, i would probably sync that up In Chapter 4 (which i didn’t finish): I already didn’t like the floaty controls in the spacecraft and then it would also shoot backwards which is totally unexpected and uneccessary. I would just let it shoot forward every time (unless i missed a boss battle where you would need it :O)

Developer (1 edit)

I'm aware of the font issues :/
 In chapter 2 platfrom despawns and spawns when it touches the wall.

I will release a patch that changes controls in ufo a little bit, so you may wanna check it. Chapter 5 is completely nuts and I highly encourage you to play.
With that being said, thanks for the time you took to play it!

Wow, this game was hard but fun too. The art compliments the theme well. Good job :)

Developer

Awwww, thanks a lot! Keep in mind that the splash screen wasn't dobe by me!
Thanks a lot for playing and have a great day.

Great ambiance, I was a lot challenged by the Chapter 1 but I made it !

Love2D seems to be a great alternative to other big game machines, well chosen !

Developer

Thanks for playing and your kind words ;) I've played your game too and it sends shivers down the spine

Submitted(+1)

Pretty neat. I got stuck somewhere in Chapter 2. Also cool to see someone using Love2D

Developer

Thanks! You just have to gather 3 pages which are hidden on the map

Submitted(+1)

Great game! I loved that there was a new gameplay mechanic at each level, it kept things fresh! My favorite was chapter 3 (it was hard). I think the time-stop puzzles were very clever. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! I am so happy you enjoyed playing it ;

Nice graphics! The music is really cool as well. I couldn't get passed the first chapter though, I'll need a few more tries.

Developer

Thanks! I promise that if you do, you'll be rewarded with a really simple and relaxing chapter 2 :P

Submitted(+1)

Fun and charming!  The font is pretty hard to read on a large monitor but everything is very smooth and I love how much variety there is for a game jam game.

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I'm working on a better, larger font right now ;)

Submitted(+1)

Great job! It took me a minute in  the first level to figure out what to do but I had fun.

Developer

Thanks! Have you finished the game?

I found the text was a little hard to read at times :(

Developer(+1)

I posted link to the music creator on the game page, but here you have another one! Thanks for playing and sorry for the font :/

Cool little game! Liked the concept of multiple episodes with varying yet similar mechanics.

Made me appreciate Earth for being the only planet with cheese much more!

Developer

Thanks! I enjoyed your game too, I played it for like an hour straight :P
