Great game, you really put a lot of time and effort into it and it shows! The models and texturing was amazing, the sounds used really helped get me into the game. I also liked the main dude's hair bounce, I thought that had charm. The sinkhole animation at the end was awesome and I thought the implication of useless throw away workers being used for jobs like this was humorous.
The top down 3D look was also super nice. Combining items felt intuitive and even with getting lost around the world a bit it still gave me valuable info on where stuff was when I needed it later.
Fetching things was a bit tedious with only being able to collect them after learning of the use like the oars when finding the canoe or the boxes dropping only after finding the dark cave.
I also accidentally fell off the map, it seems there's a lack of invisible wall on the middle mountain after crossing the upper mountain with the 4 planks. I thought there might've been a path back there for some reason.
Horrendous flow/choices on some of the logic to click/learn about stuff.
I'm really glad to hear you had fun. I might someday use this prototype in a future game. I was told it was adjacent to a light-monkey island style game.
I could see making a sequel with a full story and some colorful characters in the future possibly.
Thank you for playing/feedback!
"have the character point out that the animatronic needs batteries when you interact with it for the first time"
I assume you meant 'has' the batteries; but yes I 100% agree after seeing so much feedback.
I made an huge mistake of not allowing the game to be a little less logical to the main character's decision making, and more logical for the player. Which is great lesson to learn for this type of game in hindsight.
There are several times the main character has to "see/click" something else first; and I think it was a poor choice on my part.
Thank you for playing/feedback!
There are several things I make player unable to do until they've 'seen/click' something. Which imo was bad design without something to offset it like a comment relating to it's use later on.
And scanner was also just not well fleshed out enough to justify being in the game. I'm glad you were able to figure it out; it was unfairly not well made nor a great experience. I am very sorry! Hahaha.
Thank you for playing!
I read some of the other comments which got me passed the flashlight puzzle. Once I understood how you do puzzles I did not get stuck until using the scanner. Adding a note in the scanner to push the scan button might be helpful for those like me that don't think things through well lol. The scanner worked when I used it properly. Glad to have finished the game, thank you.
