  • Hey! I loved watching you make this on stream over the weekend. I appreciate the inclusion of the other elements (not just code) though I imagine they came late in the piece because of the way they're implemented. Overall, I loved the aesthetic and sound, it's a really beautiful game and is animated well. There were a few bugs (being able to move while in an animation / minigame caused some problems). I also felt like there was no real way to play better / worse, which took some of the agency out of it. Thanks again for the submission and for streaming, I'd love to see more games from you.

I love this game! What a neat take on the theme, a game jam within a game jam! I liked the typing minigame and would love for it to be expanded with the other aspects. I did run into a few bugs though when I was less than 15 energy I would pass out and if I hit space bar there would be two player sprites, one still performing the animation while the other was passed out. Also a few times hitting the space bar I was unable to break out of the animation so I had to hit it a few times. Overall though I loved this game! Really gives you the idea of what it's like to be in a game jam. Awesome artwork and music great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I will prepare some after jam update with fixes, so the experience feels bit more complete ;) Thanks for the feedback!

I really like the game, the art is charming and the music chill, I wish there more minigame rather than just coding but its pretty neat.

Thanks a lot!

I really liked the idea. The art is very beautiful and the code minigame is cool although difficult. I wish to see the rest of the minigames. 

Great job!

Love the concept, the pixel art and the music! The game feels a little too short, but so does the time you have in jams haha

Developer

Thank you so much for playing my entry!

Haha, I like the fact that it's impossible to be full 100% on everything. A jam within a jam is such a nice idea! The art and gameplay is really nice. Although it seems like the character will jump position if I move him while he is waking up. Anyway, great game though!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and such a kind words. Yes, there are quite a lot of bugs and "hidden" movement while sleeping is one of them ;) Good catch.

Great game like the minigame(It was hard but creative) and also like the idea

Thanks a lot!

I enjoyed this, it felt actually polished! It would have been nice to have minigames for the other tasks as well, but I'm guessing time constraints got in the way.

Developer

Exactly as you say, I have spent way too much time on that writing minigame, as it was something completely new for me and there was no time for the rest. Thanks a lot for playing the game! ;)

This is a very accurate representation of the development of my game, including the passing out on the floor. Very nice looking game. The typing game was fun, but a bit too easy. Overall pretty good.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing. I am really glad you were able to relate to it :)

This game was so great! The animations were so cool and the time ticking down as you try to manage your energy was really fun! I didn't encounter any bugs which was really nice. If you added minigames for art and sound, that would've also been really cool! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for feedback. It is possible to evade the bugs, but not gonna lie... I have them ;) 

You are right about the minigames, that was original idea to cover each part with minigame, but the time constrains did not allow that. Might add that into some update.

I love this idea, the arts amazing, the music (and the randomised track implementation) is wonderful. Just a little buggy but nothing gamebreaking I think

Developer

Thank you so much for such a kind words! Yeah the bugs you have discovered are pretty nice and easy to fix. I blame late hour while implementing that part :D
