a wonderful entry, i loved the voice acting! it was absolutely my favorite part of the game.

all i want to know is what the boss’ office must smell like…

Developer

Thank you for giving it a go! We're really glad to hear that so that's really appreciated.

Also, it's an ouroboros because the Boss hates Gnomes, but then in hating them his office smells more like them. So he hates them more but then- it just goes round and round.

Well you saw me playing this game on stream so I guess you know how much I enjoyed it :p  The voice acting was legit top-notch and it made me laugh quite a few times. As I said maybe multiple endings depending on the amount of gnomes saved could be good. Perhaps the timer could have been a little shorter too, or maybe some additional mechanics added, but maybe that would have made the game too easy and I think the simple gameplay has a certain charm to it.

Also kicking gnomes is fun :)

Thanks again for playing Tytan! We really appreciated your feedback, watching your streams is a real big help for us to make better games! Really happy the jokes landed haha

Gnome On is the sequel game.

Thank you for playing! I appreciate that

I am experiencing the weirdest movement problems in this game and I don't think that this is normal: When I walk into any direction and then look into another direction, it takes a really long time until the movement direction catches up with the change. I was really confused for a while. Will now try and see if there is a fix for that and come back again to report on it.

So now I tried it on a different machine with a dedicated graphics card. It works there without problems. The other one was a HP Laptop with i5 8250U Processor and integrated graphics. No idea what is wrong there.

Anyway, the game is pretty fantastic, good fun! Really well done! I still remember the other game I played at the last Jam... Sleepless Kevin, one of my favourites!

Developer

Ahhh I see, that makes sense why we hadn't experienced this bug ourselves! Thank you for going the extra mile and looking into this yourself, we really appreciate it!

Wow, so spooky O_O. I had the same emotions while reading "It" by S. King.

Developer(+1)

It shook us to our core, and we made it. O_O

I ran out of lockers :(

Developer

At that point, you just gotta pick 'em up and find places to hide them in the meantime, give them a swift kick while you're at it too!

Submitted(+1)

That was what I ended up doing xD

Submitted(+1)

This is so good, I liked basically everything about this game. I wonder what actually boss was doing in the room lol. 

Developer

He's the type of guy to not fully close a door if you know what I mean. Thanks for playing! Glad you had fun !

This game is great! It has great humor and detail. Spoiler Alert don't look in the boss's office when he grabs a Gnome  Great Job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! The boss has some dark dark secrets...

i really like this game. i think the gnome hunting period is way too long. maybe like 4 minutes instead of 10 minutes, or if there were more jokes going on during the process like there is at the five minute mark, it could have kept it engaging over the whole ten minutes. and at the end it didn't even tell me how many gnomes i saved! super funny game. love the boss, love the gnomes.

Developer(+2)

I completely agree! I wish we could have stuffed in some more jokes, we also wanted to include some items like padlocks to lock vents for a limited amount of time, marbles to trip the boss up, and a flute to guide Gnomes toward you. That way we could REALLY up the amount of Gnomes making it super intense but the time constraints are the bane of us all! 

Also, a score telling you how many you saved would be great! Thank you for playing and your constructive feedback is really appreciated!

Amazing concept. I love the absurdist humour in it. Love the random sniff sounds of the character. I completed the purge and saved the gnomes! Found the camera to be a bit jittery when looking left or right which was a bit of a headache, but it didn't deter me playing through it to completion. Some of the audio levels were a bit uneven, but the voices and music are excellent.

Developer(+2)

Thank you! We love absurdist humor so that's a massive compliment, sorry about the jitters to the camera! We only noticed after we released it. Glad you enjoyed playing though!

I can tell you must have fun developing your games.

iI think it's almost impossibel to do all of this in just 3 days... I mean, at some point all of the unfinished projects have to play off, right? very good game i like it!!!

Developer(+1)

It was certainly a grind right down to the last minute! Haha that's a massive compliment thank you, glad you had fun playing it!

Brilliant little game with so much charm and a unique concept, well done guys xD

Submitted(+1)

Hilarious game, voice acting is excellent, the concept is cool too ! Well done !

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Very happy to hear you found it funny haha

Submitted(+1)

Hearing gnomes wandering in the office was the funniest part :D

Submitted(+1)

I was very intrigued by the beginning, great sound, cool graphics, but I couldn't play because the control at a random moment of time changed to the opposite for some reason and I just couldn't walk :(

Developer(+1)

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about that bug my friend, we haven't encountered that problem before, looking into it now! Nevertheless, thank you for your kind words!

Developer

Do you happen to know what you were doing when the bug triggered?

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

I tried it again. Actually, it doesn't change control to the opposite. Seems like player direction is not related with camera. But sometimes it gets synchronized. For example, if I use W player goes forward, then i turn 180 degrees, press W again and now player goes backward. I made a video with this bug, the only key I pressed is W (except one moment when i'm stuck in the some boxes at 00:13). There actually some tricky way to correct the player direction by looking at the bottom then trying to move, but it doesn't work everytime.

Stressful, intense and rewarding game of hide and go seek. Boss gives me the creeps. I like it! Awesome Job!

Developer

Thank you! Glad that you had fun!
