Overscoped game!
I really wish there were more, but again this is a short jam.
For the few I saw, I like the general mood, very nice graphics, which leaves me craving for more so hopefully it’ll flesh out into a very nice something!!
Thanks, im going to work more in the game, this is just a prototype :)
Immediate oldschool vibes, MOTHER/Earthbound, SNES-era, which I adore. Kudos on the art style right there, for starters. The music almost fits what's happening, though for a mellow walking moment it's a little too excited, perhaps.
As far as the dialogue goes, since in this type of game telling a story is really important...none of it is really compelling at all, and the translation is...not...great. That's not a knock on you at all, for the record. I only speak one language, so I'm not one to talk...but for the sake of honest feedback I have to say: get a friend, a stranger online, someone, and pass them the writing for a one-over before using it in a narrative experience. It's just too important not to.
Only other feedback I have is I could not tell if I'd reached the end of the game. I talked to the octo-thingy, travelled the spike path, and then boop, returned to the main menu. I tried this several times assuming I might be missing something, but I found no indication.
Overall a really cute, if not too short experience which would have benefited greatly from leaning hard on the story-telling side. These graphics coupled with a great story could be an underground success. Keep at it, thanks for giving us a game to play!
Thanks for the feedback, and yes you finish the game, i didn't have time to add more things, sorry, i like this game so im going to work a lot :)
I really enjoyed what I saw, awesome visuals, wonderful audio. Although, it IS just a walking simulator, I guess, but it's still very creative and good-looking.
i didn't have time to add the boss in the final part, but maybe im going to still working in the game later, thanks for the feedback :)
No problem! I'm excited to see how that boss will turn out!
thanks :D!
