i like the game and the various puzzles were fun to solve, if you had a 3d model for the player it would've made it more immersive but the controls are nice to handle and its a pretty neat concept, nice job!

Really liked the short bit of gameplay i had, unfortunate it ended so abruptly, really wished to be able to play more.

Developer(+1)

To be honest, there were 6 more levels after the last level, but I accidentally put the name of current scene is LoadScene for one of the levels, thus making it "loop" in that one level ๐Ÿ˜…

I will fix and update that post voting period ๐Ÿ‘

Thank you so very much for playing the game though. ๐ŸŽˆ

Interesting idea with being stuck in a death loop that actually helps you to get out. Pity there is no audio in the background, but overall, I liked the gameplay. And I laughed at being called a fool for dying without reason - felt like one of those tricky notes from players in souls-like games :D 

Developer

First off, thanks a bunch for playing. I was trying to set a narrative tone with that, something like in Portal, but funnier ๐Ÿ˜›

Yeah, it's a true shame with audio. I was trying to remove the duplicate audio listeners in the level, but ended up removing ALL of them by mistake, and quickly posted the game lest it would be too late.

That's one of the long list of this NGS to be fixed, and another laundry list of things to be modified for the game. I'll definitely keep updating the game posting voting period. ๐Ÿ‘

Thank you for you feedback and please do rate the game ๐Ÿ˜‡

Interesting idea - could just be me but I couldn't hear any sound. I think a more explorative method of play would have worked well, rather than telling the player what they needed to do (though I did like that the hints were also revealed upon death). Also, as I'm sure others have mentioned, the collision felt a bit off and could have done with a shadow or something to help positioning with the jump. But, hey, you made a game and that's more than I can do so big kudos to you! Keep creating :)

Developer

Actually I tried fixing an issue with duplicate audio listeners in the levels, but ended up removing them allby mistake. Will definitely fix that post voting period ๐Ÿ‘

Oh and the collision on the character, I was trying to emulate something flat sprite for character, like Mario in Paper Mario....but the colliders were meant for a capsule that I forgot to change...rookie mistake ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm so glad for all the constructive criticism I'm receiving for this game, specially since I'm gonna make it a proper game down the line. ๐Ÿ˜‡

Thank you very much for your feedback. Please do put a rating on the game ๐Ÿ™

I like the theme idea! It's a shame the levels got stuck at six, I would've liked to play more!

Developer

Im extremely glad to hear you enjoyed it!

It was a dumb mistake I made, the reason why the 6th level plays in a "loop" (ironically, that's the theme of this jam). I promise to fix that once voting is over, so you can play all remaining levels + some more!

Please do rate my game ๐Ÿ™

The concept and general idea of the game are good. But the character controller and collider feel a bit of. And I don't know if it was a time issue, but I think that reflection probes", realtime shadows and ambient occlusion, could help with the graphics and spatial orientation.

Developer

Thank you for playing!! :)
Yes, you're  absolutely right about the things i need to  fix.  I wasted one whole day out of 4  in coming up  with and perfecting the game concept. I spent the rest of the time in developing mechanics and levels and was left with a little over 4 hours for graphics and misc. optimisations. 

But I myself wish to expand on this concept and make it a proper game down the line. Thank you very much for the constructive criticism. I  will surely work on them and keep updating the game.

Please do rate the game <3

Very nice! I rated your game directly after playing it and I'll follow the further development with interest. :)

Very unique and creative concept and the resemblance of Morty as the main character makes it funier. I found the camera control a bit hard to master.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you kindly :)

Yes, that's one in the list to fix. Too bad due to a mistake you can't play remaining 6 levels i created for this game jam. But as soon as the voting is over, I'll update them.

really cool concept, got stuck, couldnt tell what to do but enjoyed it

Developer

Thank you for trying :)

Apologies that due to a mistake you can't play remaining 6 levels i created for this game jam. I accidentally looped a level so you keep playing that instead of going ahead. But as soon as the voting is over, I'll update them.

Unique concept, levels feels great. I like the humor you introduced in the text, haha

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you for playing! Ah, I so wish you could play the remaining 6 levels which are unaccessible yet due to my mistake!!
 I will keep updating the game to add more levels and better controllability.

Cool concept! I eventually got stuck in a room where I kept getting to the door and restarting, and I wasn't quite sure what to do. Waiting times after dying were also a bit long, for a game where that's an essential mechanic.

Developer (2 edits)

Ah yes, I think I set the LoadScene to the same level for that last level, the reason why you were stuck in just 1 level! That was the final tutorial level,  after which game actually began. Thank you so much for pointing that out. I'll fix and update the game as soon as the voting ends. And will also fix the load times to be snappy.

Thank you so very much for playing my game. I truly appreciate it, especially since I plan on expanding over this concept ๐Ÿ™
