- Fun game to play! I love the ideas you have for the game, the GDD does a good job explaining your ideas! As for the game itself, it is a great first game attempt! Especially in such a short period of time. I would work on aspects like the attack animation and making sure it doesnt stop the player from doing any other movement. I would also look to convert the game to have multiple sets of controls (WASD, arrows and controller)
Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?
Yes
Seriously... did you include your Game Design Document?
I thought about not doing it but you convinced me
Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes
Tell us about your game!
The plan for the story was to be:
You are a wandering alchemist trying to make the philosophers stone. Your in a dungeon supposedly with a machine that can make it.
As you collect materials in the dungeon you come across a cat you can either pickup the cat and take it with you or leave it.
The machine uses your materials and has a slot called sacrifice and a lever.
If you put the cat in the sacrifice slot you are a monster but get the philosophers stone.... but at what cost you monster.
If you dont sacrifice the cat you pull the lever and you become the sacrifice.
You then play as the cat you pick the stone up as the cat and the cat becomes immortal.
You then go in the dark narrow cracks of the dungeon to find out the cat has kittens and your goal is to get to your kittens. the end.
Extra Notes
This is my first game and i only got the first level done and its not very good but.
I just want you to know i always wanted to make something for a game jam, saw this and i thought its out of my league. I was looking for a twitch streamer to watch to kill some time and clicked PirateSoftware. When it loaded it was him literally saying to someone in chat who said i cant make games. To make something anything just try anyone can do it. This motivated me to try this project.
I just want to say Thank you.
I know i wont win but at least i can say i made SOMETHING.

Nice work on making a game, it plays well! Starting the journey of being a Game Dev can seem very difficult but I think that no matter what making something, no matter how rough around the edges, is a great experience.
Cheers, hope to see you next Game Jam.
Thanks,
Reading your comment was very enjoyable thanks for taking the time to post it :) It made my day.
