Lovely game and great concept, love the robot voice and ticking sounds

My biggest issue here is the projectiles being spawned at random, especially how they're used near the end of the game.

I'm being punished for moving more than 2 seconds, but I also need to be constantly moving in order to avoid the enemy chasing me and projectiles falling from the sky. I had to pause for a moment to recharge my timer, then all of a sudden a projectile falls on me. I think this is just a weird way to make your game hard for the sake of it being hard, and you should try avoiding that.

Developer

Yeah I agree. The projectiles where kinda rushed because I added them on the last day because I needed new mechanic. If I ever make a post jam version, I'll make them fall in a pattern or something.

Very impressive! Great concept, and cool (and so creepy) narrative and voiceover! Well done!

(I do really wish the bullets weren't random though... so many deaths.)

Submitted

The presentation was great, and I loved the narrative going on here. The movement timer is a really cool mechanic as well, nice work!

Submitted

Heh- that was a lot of fun; nice mechanic with great presentation :D

Submitted

Nicely done! I thought the voice was great and the bright happy colors that turn to dark and angry at the end.  Well done puzzle platformer.  Here is me playing it:

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! And yeah, I probably need to rework the bullets a bit.

Submitted

Lol the AI voice was amazing. The main mechanic is also very interesting, it adds a lot of challenge to the platforming. Great work

Submitted

the inclusion of the AI elevated this game massively, it was really cool listening to them as you play, definitely gave me portal/will you snail vibes, great job :)

Submitted

loved the narrator reminded me a lot of portal cool game

Submitted

Absolute 10/10. Loved the story bits, but the voice effects did seem a bit derivative of "Will you snail"

Submitted

AMAZING! nailed just about every part of it! the artstyle was amazing, story was great, I liked the movement tho it took me a bit to get used to the timer. And just when you think it can't get any better, the next level blows you away! Some levels felt really frustrating but not really impossible! I don't know how you have managed to make such an amazing game in just 3 days! Good Job!

Submitted

you really nailed the limitation! and the voice-over is awesome too :)

Submitted

that's a really solid submission ! good use of the limitation and it's cute overall

Submitted
It is really really big deal. My personal favorite of this jam.
Submitted

voice over is awesome( best ever).   what do you use to get that tone voice ( really audacity can do this lol) ?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

I just used text to speech from here :) I did change it up a bit in audacity tho

Submitted

thanks for sharing, awesome 

Submitted

Okay, this is the best use of the limitation so far...great job!

Submitted

Great art and really fun concept, but those bullets will give me ptsd. I started to feel like you were spawning them purposely on top of me everytime i got to the end of a level.

Submitted

Great game! Sweet animations, great story and a solid platformer. Great job!

Submitted

“Say hello to my little ball” lol. Nice use of limitation!

Submitted

"or a game" I think it was? This was incredible!
