Oddly enough, I kinda like the excitement of having to deal with sudden viral infection because the game “forcefed” my cell with tainted food! It does take it from chill to having this ebb and flow of chill and excitement.

This game definitely have potential to be expanded upon and it’d be awesome if you choose to in the future! One way I could see it expand is how building up resistances opens up certain areas, but closes others. For example, if you have hot resistance, then you’ll lose health a lot quicker in the cold environment. So to see what’s beyond the cold expanse, you’ll need to play a new game, or have the patience to shift your resistance?

I do hope you’ll reconsider the UI sound, though. The harshness of a square-wave detracts from the vibe of the game for me. But that’s just me :x

Overall, great job on this! And I envy you being able to keep the development time to about 20 hours! I needed all ten days for mine 😢

Thanks for the feedback.

I've only been at this for a year, but I have done a few jams in that time.  I think it just means I've gotten more comfortable with the process.  My last jam I spent 80 hours plus in a 7 day jam, but overscoped so it was all spent with little time to focus on making it tidy.

For this one I started a bit late and work has been busy, so I wasn't able to spend as much time as I would have liked on it, so I kept the scope small enough that I could get something done.

To be honest I'm amazed at the amount of feedback I've been getting for this game.  For me it was a last minute idea that I could get done in the time frame I had.  I'm glad I made a game during the jam, but did not expect it to be so well received.

With regards to the sound effects, I get your point but I don't have a large library of sound effects yet (good time to start I suppose).

Also, the force feeding is not supposed to happen.  I think the loading lag between the trigger and the spawn creates this.

Congrats on getting it done! I thought the scope I had was small enough but admittedly, I spent half of the allotted time figuring out an acceptable solution for interactive grass. Partly, it was a learning experience, to see how much I actually learned and remembered with Godot.

I do find when we’re given constraints, that’s when we come up with some of our best ideas.

Never too late to start building it up! Just make sure to tag them by their sources and licences as well, for jams like these where you cannot use paid assets.

Bug? It’s a feature! ;) I kid. I found it amusing.

The grass in your game worked really well, I think I even noticed it growing back.

Regarding SFX, I try to make all my own assets.  For this game. I made everything apart from the font (Fonts are quite complicated and require the correct software to make).

I know I'll get to a point where I'll need to use assets from other sources, but there are so many different licenses and conditions, that tracking them all, and any changes, is job in itself.
