This was loads of fun to play and stealing time was a nice twist on the theme!

Developer

Hi Cushion Labs, thank you for playing our game and for the feedback, we are glad you enjoyed it. :)

I adore the voice acting! Well done. Very Don't Starve-esque art style! 

Developer

Hi Daturtle, thank you for playing our game and for the feedback, we are glad you enjoyed it. We were aiming for Tim Burton so to be compared to Don't Starve (a game which I love) is great praise :)

This was fun! I liked the music and voice acting, and the mechanics were fun to play around with once I got the hang of things!

Developer

Hi Beep's Boops, thank you for playing our game and for the feedback, we are glad you enjoyed it. :)

Cute and creative. I really like the idea of using Time as a currency and stealing said time from the Humans. There isn't a whole lot to spend that currency on once you got all the upgrades. With the only end game being getting on that rocket. 

Tried it a second time just to see if it was possible to speed run to the rocket without picking up any upgrades. (If it is, it's beyond my skill level. )

Developer

Hi Erockandroll, thank you for playing our game and for the feedback, we are glad you enjoyed it. Very unlikely that speed-running to rocket can be done but we are glad someone attempted it :)

Cool game! But it took me a bit to realised that the attacks were directional based on my key press. It was hard for me to leave the spawn as the NPC insta-locked onto me and just insta-death. A few retries needed to get the hang of it but keep up the good work!

Developer

Hi Keng, thank you for playing our game and for the feedback, early game can be challenging, we are glad you enjoyed it :)

Developer

Hey KengiKita, we've deployed a new version based on your feedback, feel free to give it another go.

I had a fantastic time. I was especially enamoured by the voice lines, because they were FANTASTIC. I thought the art was so fun. I loved the art effect of the invisibility cloak (so simple, yet so clever). I played the game until I had every upgrade and then a little more. The only thing I would have liked to see is some form of winning condition, and I am not sure I understand the point of attacking. But overall, a cheeky little game, great job!

Developer

Hi Nina, thank you for playing our game and for the feedback, we are thrilled that you progressed far into the game, there is an escape rocket that the humans came in on docked in the challenging north area that triggers the end game completion however we are aware that this is not indicated so most will not find it, thanks again for playing :)

Really nice, a little hard to leave the spawn area, hard to gain time/kill the NPCs but wonderful

Interesting little game, I dislike the random feeling attack mechanic but otherwise very cool and stylized.

Interesting concept done pretty well.  The disguise was funny, I just wish you could drain time a little faster, because you just get into situations where you are just standing holding E and it slows the gameplay loop down a lot. 

Also A+ on the voiceovers!

Really unique game and theme! Loved the art, though I think adding animations would've made the game feel more, for lack of a better term, alive. Still, the way you interpreted the theme of the jam is super creative. Good job!
