Game was neat but I also couldn't dodge the car at the end. Good job making something in 3D in such a short time frame!
i liked the game but i couldn't dodge the super car at the end
great concept
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it!
This has a horror feeling to it this is actually quite impressive for the timeframe you have! well done!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the horror atmosphere. I really tried to make it work within the jam's timeframe!
I thought being able to make a 3D game in that short of a time span is impressive. The narrative was funny as well! The music was a bit harsh to listen to, but otherwise good job!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the narrative and the 3D world. About the music — it's 8-bit retro style, so it can be a bit harsh sometimes, but I'll look into balancing the sound for future updates!
This was such a vibe, I really enjoyed the experience!! Nothing was objectively that impressive but it came together in a great way.
Thank you! I love reading comments like this. I thought few people would like my game.
Making a 3D game with Blender, that's some serious effort! I managed to get through round 1, and I tried to keep playing, but the mouse kept going off the screen and wouldn't stay centered, which made my 3D motion sickness even worse. So I had to close it. Congrats on finishing the game!
It's a nice template for what feels like a 3d adventure game, like those point and click games adventure games but with a 3d controller and world. I am not sure why but I couldn't run it well on chrome, firefox and explore worked just fine though.
Ps, I realized I accidently left this comment in my own page by mistake lol. I copy and pasted it here just now.
I like the idea of going through the same time episode or place but with changed puzzles.
The end is brutal and shocking though =)
Would love to see an extended version of it with more time travels and things to figure out.
As others have mentioned, the melody is too repetitive and pushy. Maybe change it to a more ambient background music enhancing the atmosphere of the game?
Congratulations on your submission!
Thanks for the feedback! Maybe I'll change the music if I make a regular version, not a game jam one.
Thanks again for the feedback!
How to get to the end? i always was hit by that image and woke up again.
That's the 'True Ending' for this version! The impact is so strong it resets the timeline. Glad you made it that far!
Fun idea, got a horror-game vibe - nice!
The "I hate searching" self-ironic line cracked me up — nice touch. One thing though: at the end I wasn't sure if it was supposed to keep going? Tried dodging the car but kept getting run over no matter what I did. Was that the ending, or did I miss something? Good luck in the jam either way! 🍌
Thank you! But where is train, this is end
Honestly, I really liked this. It felt like with a few things it could be turned into an indie horror. I'll be honest, I couldn't figure out what to do to cross the road, but it felt very eerie. Also the goofy ass art lol. If I had to leave a criticism, it would be that the english translation was a bit rough. I really had a good time, I'm not certain on what the story was, but I would have continued playing if I could have figured it out(I died 6 times). Good job!
Thanks for the feedback! But death from that train is part of the ending
Liked the game, although I wasn't exactly sure what to do at the western section
There you had to find a banana that would open a portal. And thanks for the feedback!
It's a great game, but the lack of a death screen made me play the same part over and over again, which was a bit tedious. I didn't really see much suitability to the theme, and the constantly repeating music was annoying. Other than that, it was good. Great job!
Thanks!
Could you also rate and comment on my game?
Okay!
I found this quite interesting, but I had some issues with the movement (this might just be a issue i have though), when my mouse cursor was controlled, I would only look up and couldn't move my mouse around and when it wasn't i could only move my mouse until it would hit the edge of my screen, so I could not rotate fully. I could also not get the paper to disappear. Otherwise it is pretty nice though.
Okay, thanks for the feedback! I'll think about this more often at future jams.
Does this has the end?
Nice! very wonky and fever dreamy
Well, it's quite similar. And thank you for the feedback!
Cool ideas, funny realization XD
Maybe need to work at model and texture. but it's funny!
Thanks for the feedback! Many players liked it. I appreciate all the feedback, thank you!
It's a decent game, but you could do a better job with the textures. Also, the frequent repetition of the background music gets annoying.
Thanks for your feedback! I'll try to improve the textures and make the music less monotonous.
Кстати, я тоже русский!
Круто, кстати, я со своей командой сегодня доделаем игру. Я напишу её название, и, если у тебя будет время, то дашь пожалуйста фидбек.
окей!
Authentic retro game vibes. Where do I find the banana after that sticky note got stuck to my forehead? :)
Hey bro thanks for you feedback! I too played your game. Your game is good!
And here lay a banana.
Good luck on jam!
The music and sound effects have a sense of immersion. how does the train avoid obstacles:)
Thanks! I too played you're game, there music cool! And i show a train...
This is the train that Meggie rides on and I don't understand how she manages to avoid obstacles.
