Level design was interesting. Got a bit confused when pressing the right mouse button, but all in all a good game.

Clever level design! Really liked the feel of the game!

Interesting idea, though I would have liked a bit more follow-through i.e. seeing the player wake up at the end of each level. Was pleasantly surprised with the introduction of the gun and would have liked more levels using that, but understand that it's a lot down to the time you had. Good job!

I really like the concept for this game! I think it fits the topic pretty well! One note, I think being able to "die" at the top of the scrolling level (where it resets the level) runs a little bit against the design of wanting to get hurt. Maybe having something like an infinitely scrolling level where the goal is for the player to realize they should try standing still and rising to the top could be interesting. Still, this is a little subjective, and I'm probably nitpicking a little, so whatever works best! As other people mentioned, the camera effects are a little much, but I think it's because some of the big effects are tied to relatively smaller actions like jumping, so maybe toning them down would work well. Other than that, I really liked how the game looked and felt! Really great job on the game!

First 2 minutes of the game i was stuck in that "remeber you must die" page, while listening to the banger playing in background. Found easy fix: 
1)just hold Ctrl+scroll mouse to decrease page size,
2)update page,
3)go to fullscreen.

Liked the setting, I've seen games where you must die, but this one has clever reason for that.

Liked the music.

Didn't like level-design, should be more gun-mirror stuff

This si one of the best games I've seen so far for this Jam. It's fun, it has great design, lighting, audio and gameplay.  I like the twist you gave to the narrative so it's just waking up and not suicide.

Thank you!

This game is awesome. the effects were a bit overbearing at first but it makes sense for the world to be so jarring if you're asleep and trying to wake up.  My only gripe would be the lack of character animations. but over all incredibly solid one of my favorites! 9.8/10

beautifull game, gorgeus music, cute pixel arts, to much after effects and i am sure you team forgot to remove a devtool because pressing the right mouse button makes you win

Developer

Thanks for the kind words and wow you're totally right, can't believe we let that slip by!

Happens to the best of us, i forgot audio in mine, unitll i remembered it, but quickly forgot again because i am a terrible sound maker and the audio that i made was asking to kill someone.

❄ very fun little game! The pixel art is appealing but I think that the extreme post processing effects and such take away from the charm a little, maybe it could benefit from those effects being less pronounced(especially that screenshake), they do create a dreamlike effect though, so that's quite nice

it could have been cute to have a little scene of the player waking up from their dream at the end of the game though. Keep it up!

Nice and beautiful game! But it could shake the screen a bit less.

Submitted(+1)

really cool game! I really liked the idea of trying to die & the artwork & music are awesome! The camera shake is a little intense though and sometimes the bloom effect was a bit bright too (make it hard to look at). But overall good job!

I'd appreciate if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! Will check out your game :)

The visuals are amazing! Love the camera shake although it was quite overwhelming when shooting the pistol, would have been nice if that could be a bit more subtle. Otherwise the story was great and I liked the basic level design!

Likes:

  • JUICEY EFFECTS! They look phenomenal OBVIOUSLY
  • The core concept is well thought out and executed
  • Some of the levels are really well designed

Dislikes:

  • Camera shake was used a bit too much where it wasn’t necessarily needed. Made for a jarring experience when a lot is going on
  • The landing animation should have been played in world space rather than local space attached to the character
  • Some further work done on animating the character could have gone a long way

This is a VERY well made game. My critiques are probably not needed. Overall this was really fun to play!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! glad you found it fun to play!

Very interesting take on the theme - I wish there were more levels with the gun because the spike mechanic was a little too easy. The final level was really well designed. One thing that I would change - take out that timer at the start of a level - very frustrating when you just want to play :) Nice work

Developer

Thank you! Originally the gun was supposed to be a one off level but found it very satisfying to use that we fit 2 levels in, with more time 100% would there be more levels/puzzle with the gun!
