Wow, a super simple and polished game here! I loved the aesthetics, the theme and the humour. The reward at the end was completely unexpected and brilliant. Congrats on the submission 😎

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the feedback. Comments like this make the late nights worth it :)

That is a really enjoyable submission! The game is pretty simple, but the aesthetics, the rotating gameplay and the humaour definitely makes it stand out. Great job on the game!

Developer(+1)

Glad you had a good time with it. Thanks

Nice!! One smaöö critique is that the animation on the tornado spiral when changing level can be slightly problematic for sensitive players (it gives me motion sickness, but I am indeed fairly sensitive). Maybe an option to disable that would be a nice touch!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Working on a couple different effects and ideas replace the dizzying spiral. Sadly it's taking a bit longer than I had hoped to get it the way I want.

Ow my god, victor screen is perfect! I sence soul in this game:)

Really nicely done! Probably the most unique and on-point melding of them and game-play I've seen this Jam. I especially enjoyed the music and the doggies! Keep up the great work! :-)

Developer

Big thanks! Happy you enjoyed it

Submitted

Just wanted to say right back at you, congratulations for a great game, I just had to play it again :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! And thanks for sharing your pup too :)

Submitted(+1)

Love this concept! Thanks you for the really friendly UI and intro as well! You made sure pressing was enjoyable and overall just enjoyable UI!

A small gripe was that as I was loading the start, I accidentally clicked quit while I was loading the game, maybe a smaller quit button would help? 😅

Overall I really enjoyed this concept! Aesthetics are pleasing, and really user-friendly:) Good job!

Developer(+1)

Oh shoot, good call about the quit button. Agreed, it's way too big. Will shrink that down in the next update.  Thanks for the feedback. Really happy you enjoyed it!

I loved the cute pictures we were rewarded with for beating the game! Great job on this. The cows were pretty difficult to avoid at first but I got the hang of it. I will say though that the sound effect for hitting something scared me to death each time it was played... maybe tone that one down a bit as it's pretty jarring. Excellent job overall!

Developer

You're right, that was much too loud. When I adjusted the music, I forget to look at the effects too. They've all been cut in half now, so it should be better. Thanks for checking it out!

Submitted(+1)

I loved the ending! That's such a neat idea and I love it being tied to your deeds while playing. I thought this concept and gameplay was really unique and interesting. Great story and theme!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Nice mechanics. Couldn't play for long though, I got seasick

Developer

Thanks for the comment. Sorry it made you feel sick  - I'm trying a couple of things to reduce the potential for motion sickness, so hopefully that will be ready for the next update.

Submitted(+1)

This was really fun and a very uniqe gameplay as well.

Submitted(+1)

This was a fun game! I especially liked the pictures at the end :) 

The only thing I'd say is the first time I accidentally touched the cow the sound made me jump, it was a little louder than the rest. Good job for adding a volume button though :D!

Overall it was a good game, well done!

Developer

Hey, really appreciate the feedback. Glad you had fun with it.


You're definitely right about the sounds. That was wayy to loud. I had updated the music volume but missed some of the effects. Should be better now :)

Submitted(+1)

Really fun and unique idea! I like the procedural/random generation of power-ups, as well as the multiple fun items which both helped and hindered you. It feels like a quality Mario Party mini-game, only with more depth. Losing only one "level" of progress when you accrue too much negative levity is a good way to handle checkpointing. Good fun!

Amusing aside: seeing myself referred to as "Young soul" was a funny meta moment (look at my username!)

P.S. I assume you know about this and it's just a bug due to limited time, but if you set your UI anchors for the canvas elements in the intro, they should scale regardless of the user's resolution (mine were clipping a bit in the WebGL window)

Developer(+1)

Hey thanks for the great feed back, young soul.


Glad you pointed out the UI anchoring. I'm pretty bad with the UI side of things. Going to play around a bit with that.

Loved it !! Music,sound effects and aesthetics were so nice. Gameplay was fun too. Ending put a warm smile on my face :) Thanks for your submission such a nice and complete game !!

Developer

Thanks for the kind note!

Submitted(+1)

Really nice :) I had fun to play and it fits the theme just right :)

Developer

Awesome, glad you enjoyed

I liked this entry. The calming music, crazy level design, and the simple collecting mechanic made this all meld together really well.

When the house tried to smush me I was legit scared I was going to go down a floor again, haha.

Developer

Thanks a lot. Means a lot that you enjoyed it. Hoping to make some more intense moments like the house later on (as well as some calm moments)

Submitted(+1)

This was a great entry! I have some issues with audio levels as some sound effects could end up being much louder than others. I also feel that the player movement could use a little smoothing on its motion.

Most of the visuals are very well done; I personally wish the stages had a less aggressive pattern of movement. That’s about it for the negatives, the presentation here has very little in terms of issues and it is a very readable game.

The concept is of course the real star of the show, both in story and how it actually affects gameplay. I wish there was a category to represent how much I appreciated the use of dog.jpg, but I’ll just tack it onto Story for now.

I cleared the game once only doing the upper floors, then once more deliberately going closer to the Cursed zones to find the person I missed; I wish there was a better indicator of how closer you are to the two realms as I had to blindly guess how low I was going. I would also recommend setting the HUD scaling so that the game is playable in WebGL’s iframe view as opposed to needing fullscreen enabled.

Most of my feedback is just nitpicking for future releases should you continue the project; you did a good job with this.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for taking the time to provide such great feedback! All of your wish list items are definitely on point and things I'd like to look at in further updates, so this brings me some confidence that I'm going in the right direction, given the great things you've released so far.

This really is helpful as I'd like to expand this idea further  and  have tonnes of ideas spinning in my head as we speak :)

Submitted(+1)

Cool game ! Very relaxing and fun to play. The ending made me think about "The Good Place" humour which I find very funny :D Great work !

Developer

Thanks a lot! I heard that's a great show - gotta check it out sometime

Submitted(+1)

This is amazing, the graphics look great, the high quality menu sets the tone for the whole experience. My main feedback is that a softer transition between levels would make the gameplay feel more smooth. Overall a winner for me. 

Developer

Thanks very much! Agreed on the transitions. I'm currently experimenting with different types of transitions. I really want them to flow  in the future.
