Very interesting concept, I liked it!
Wow! Great artwork and atmosphere!
Really great presentation! I love that light flicker when you lose & when the game over message pops up. Thank you for explaining why I lost! I really like that the camera does a slow tilt up, it's subtle.. and it feels maybe not intentional? But it's just a nice little touch.
The idea here is really simple and the puzzles are light, you made it easy to understand the goal, or rather, you corrected me when I didn't understand. I started the game up, tried to go left, died and the explanation in the death screen helped me realize what I had to do. Maybe only gripe would be the slight delay waiting for all the monsters to move but I mean, it was like less than a second each time so this is really just my destroyed attention-span crying.
I'm a bit torn on the music, I really like it but it kinda felt off, I dunno, like I said, torn, it was like a nice contrast cause I guess the expected music would've been like something dark and tonal so I like that it didn't fit into what my brain expected.
Big fan, great work :)
I really liked it alot. My only problem was that movement was too slow. but other than that i really enjoyed it, Great work!
Awesome, I love the atmosphere and the fact that you used Bedřich Smetana (Vltava) as a music is brilliant. Good Work!
Very nice. I love the art, it looks great and creates the atmosphere perfectly.
Brilliant!! loved each minute of it
Really well done, good job!
Good job on this one.
Art style is fantastic. The music doesn't directly match the visuals and I think that adds to the creepy mood, like something went horribly wrong during the cold war era, but somewhere in the rubble there's an old radio still playing classical tunes. Nicely done!
Really nice, great work
Art style and audio are insanely good for a jam game, loved the atmosphere you went for!
Excellent game design and built in tutorial
Minor criticism - I would like 'R' to be a restart button at all times, there are some points where I accidentally mess up and know I therefore won't be able to complete a level but I have to end up using the remaining wire before I can actually restart.
Overall a really solid entry :)
Thank you for playing and for you kind words!
There is a way to restart a section of the game through the pause menu, but we failed to tell the player at any point how to do that outside of the store page (it's the escape key). Thank you for your feedback!
Fantastic game fantastic art style ,overall a great game
well done!
Nice game!
I really liked the game concept and gameplay. The art can be furnished a bit. Overall great feeling.Well done!
Loved the gameplay, its innovative for sure, and its fun as well. I digged the cryptid aestethic, and the music oddly suits the picture, creating this classic creepy storytelling
Art and music lend to one of the best atmospheres I've come across! Gameplay seemed pretty straight forward but provides a nice proof of concept. I did experience a little bit of slowdown it seemed and movement became a little choppy. Enemies look great! So much room to build off this idea and keep going if you decided to. Great job team!
It seems like you went with the strategy of making a very unique product - in terms of art, music, and design and it works! Its nice to see a turn based / grid based game like this in a game jam, its the first one I've seen in any game jams.
As others have pointed out, due to the nature of the core mechanics and design, getting through a level can be slow, but I feel like those who really like this genre of game will appreciate this. I like how you introduce concepts to twist the main mechanic as the game goes on.
Really neat. I like the visuals a lot. Has some great ambiance and all fits nicely together with the theme. A bit curious how you made it look that way, to be honest. The core gameplay loop is intriguing and required a lot of thinking, which is good. The turn-based nature felt a little slow and it seems like the path is forced. Might be interesting if you could go in multiple directions and have a bit more slack to explore instead of always moving up. Otherwise, a really solid entry.
Wow, this is really cool ! Loved especially the music and sound effects !
The theme was well matched with the Game design, great work !
