it's a good game! the mechanic of the copies is fun, the intro is very well done, and i like the animations for all the characters it's smooth and funky.
The music and sfx are nice too
Also I think you forgot to put in your game title or any credits, I had to search through the submissions after I played it because I forgot the name haha
this made me realise i too forgot to put credits in lol
Oh, yeah, we totally just named it "Jamsepticeye Project" or something dumb like that in the files, sorry! We would change it, but we don't want to be disqualified for changing anything other than game breaking bugs. Hopefully people can still find it because of the little Sam on the cover. Thanks so much for playing, and we're glad you enjoyed all the creatures and music! Good job, dreamer! <3
A fun little game. The art style is really nice and comfy. It's nice to have those little 3D cutscenes, and the cat monster guy has a cute design. Well done :)
Thanks! Yeah, I really love that ViralConfection made those 3D animations in the middle of our 2D game! I was telling him "you have to, people love mixed media in games!!!" but I wasn't sure he'd get the chance to with all the programming he was already doing. And I'm so glad you like the cat monster, he was the first creature I designed and animated! He makes for a pretty nice tutorial battle, and he's really cute in the daycare area.
I just finished playing your game and left a review, it was really fun! I hope you keep making video games for the world to enjoy, so keep going, dreamer! <3
Exactly, if you do it right, mixing 2D and 3D can really add charm to the overall experience. I'm sure lots of people like the cat monster guy. Thanks I intend on making more videogames and working on my main project so thank you. Same to you as well :)
Nice Beat em up game!
Loved the intro and animations and the art is fire, loved the concept and fits the theme well. Loved to have some sort of an health bar and the flying enemies gets a bit annoying and hard to deal with , overall loved the game :]
Really Enjoyed this one. I think this is the first Beatem-up game I've played so far as part of the Jam.
The past lives as doppelgangers is a really neat mechanic. Some of the Monsters gave me some trouble though, especially when they start flanking from both sides.
These crows have serious hands! It took me so long to get the hang of the second fight, but man do I love the games message, and EVERYTHING about the visuals! Stage design, character/monster sprites, even the UI! It was all so pleasing to look at and the fact y'all did all of it in 5 days is wild!
The art is unlike anything I've ever seen before and I love it so much! I liked the sounds and the story a lot too and it's message. Some things I noticed that bothered me was that it wasn't obvious that the sticky notes were your health and there wasn't any audio que or a very noticeable visual que for when you got hit so I just was kinda hoping I wasn't getting hit, I noticed the parallax in some of the rooms, really cool detail, there was no way to quit out after you beat the game, the combat felt good, and also HELL YEAH DROP KICKS!!! I enjoyed the 3d animations an incredible amount and the popsicle stick puppets at the end! I don't think the game did anything particularly focused on the theme. Overall I really loved playing this game, thank you for making it!
cool game :)
Great game! The visuals are impressive and the gameplay is really engaging. I had a lot of fun playing it!
Really cool game! Very unique concept and the visuals are insane. Fun cutscenes.
A lot of everything there! Great game :)
Unfortunately this doesn’t work well on an ultrawide monitor (which is all I have) So I couldn’t see the bottom of my screen! The art and cutscenes were superb! I really liked the story from what I experienced. I got to the crow level then couldn’t see the enemies anymore though, so I couldn’t really progress past it. Fun game and excellent visuals!
OH WOW!!! The art style is out of this world! the character design is insane, did you design and draw the characters? I like several of those, I don't know how to describe them, so I'll try, one is like a robot that transforms into some sort of mask with legs like from hollow knight, and the other one is like a makup table with lots of legs and hands. That was amazing, definitely the best character design I've seen in the jam. Great job!
Thanks! most of the creatures were designed by Frozencrunch, the mask guy I made in Blockbench, and he was very funny to animate.
the final creature "The Vanity" is probably my personal favorite of the monsters!
Very fun game! I like the cutscenes too, and the overall style you took for the game. I do have to say those crows are really op though, but other than that, its pretty fun!
Thanks! when it comes to the cutscenes I was really excited about their inclusion, so I'm glad to see you liked them as well!
The crows have been a common complaint, I'd like it to be known that they've been going to therapy and have been making progress to be better, kinder birds in the future
Really cool game, and pretty fun! I did feel like the controls were a little glitchy at times, but still 10/10 for over-the-top intro and positive messaging! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for checking us out! Alot of the mechanics were made one-and-done as finishing everything was a mad dash to the end.
I'm glad you picked up, and enjoyed the messaging behind our game!
This jam's community overall has been an excellent example of the kindness we wanted to promote, and I'm really thankful to have participated with everyone!
Really nice art style and fun, satisfying gameplay. Would love to see it developed on further!
Awesome art and music! Really nice beat em up gameplay and story!
amazing, me and my homies were true comboing that stupid vanity enemy so he didn't have a chance to spit shrapnel and kill all of us
Hell yeah, wallbounce that monochrome dweeb
The graphic style is amazing, The intro? 10/10 and the theme is highly noticeable, well done!
As the first streamer to beat it I felt extremely honored. I thought the animations were adorable and the overall messaging was beautiful. Those damn crows tho, I swear. 5/5 game!
Thanks so much for having us on stream! And bonus thanks for making it to the last level, most people give up pretty fast and miss those last two, which are the best part! And we're so sorry for those pesky crows... the financial struggle creature sure does plague a lot of us, huh >;p
We're so glad you liked it, and we're so excited to play your game! So keep an eye out for our review and comment, and dream on, dreamer!
