Nice art style and animation, but the gameplay movements feel a bit wonky - I don't feel like I can effectively jump over elements well, for example. Would have liked some music and more sounds during gameplay. Love the setting you've created through the background art! Feels like a great prototype for a future game release.
Thanks for the feedback and playing our game! We are aware of the movement issue and we are working on it. We plan to expand this game and relase it on steam so your words are very encouraging and on point. And thank you for appreciating our art. We put a lot of effort into making our assets.
Interesting world your building there we seem to share quite a bit when it comes to the world were crafting with the dystopian themes, hanging men and cameras.
I like the contrast between the characters low poly style and the pixel art backgrounds and your paralax effect is very well done. however some of the assets on the path seem a little out of place. And the jump is a little floaty.
I can really see something unique in its art direction just would like a little more of a sample of what the games main gameplay loops would be.
Thank you for playing and for feedback! The movement was pretty hard to nail it so it was published not in the optimal state but it will be fixed for the next version. Also thanks for pointing out the flaws, because we will look into them more. The gameloop will be expanded too so your feedback will not go to waste.
No worries I wouldn’t call them flaws just stepping stones, and I really think there’s something unique in the contrast between the character and background. Dropped you a follow. Ever need a play tester let me know.
I am mortally stuck in the box and couldn't finish the game, but with some more fixes for movement very strong game overall.
Thanks for pointing this out! Our testers never ran into this issue so we will look into that before relasing next version. Also thank you for your kind words <3
i really enjoyed the game, there are some bugs but nice short horror!
Amazing!! I can't believe it's free! The artwork is amazing!
Great work, hope you guys win.
Sending lots of love!
I liked it but I feel there needs to be some more story, enemies or something, the levels feel a bit empty but everything is there as a solid start game play wise!
Thank you for playing our game! There is both story and more levels planned but we had to cut content to finish this project in time. It will be updated with more levels and more story and lore tho! Thank you for your constructive criticism, it means a lot to beginner devs like us!
Game was fun, I liked the artsyle but I kept getting stuck on ladders and was unsure where to go in the third section.
Thank you for trying out our game! We are aware of problem with ladders. I don't know on what version you were playing but a lot of problems with ladders were fixed in 0.4.1 and 0.4.2. We appreciate your feedback, it means a lot to us.
It was such a short but nice game, i could see it on steam!
That is so kind of you <3 After all these comments we are seriously considering expanding it and relasing on steam.
it's such a nice game with some funny polish culture references. i'm looking forward to play more levels!
Thank you so much! There will be more levels so you should be satisfied.
With a bit more polish and more levels i could definitely see this on steam
Thank you soo much! It means even more from somebody who knows how hard game dev really is. Good luck with your game too <3
