Really nice game! The graphics are nice and gameplay was fun. It took me a while to figure out what to do though.

How does your game fit the theme?
Noah's story in the Bible tells about the end of the corrupted world caused by the flood and the beginning of a brand new one. Noah is of pure heart and gathers the animals to let them survive.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, this is a fully solo project, my friend only did the music, but also from scratch. It was a great learning experience for me, especially that I’m not that good with making graphics.

A little confusing at first to figure out what to do. Also some of the text was hard to read (white text on a light background). Really cool music and was fun to play once I got the hang of it.

Turtle EscapeStage 1 gameplay was enjoyable, but I suggest increasing the field of view as finding ingredients was time-consuming. Stage 2 was confusing as animals fell out and the ark didn't move without obstacles. The shark's speed could also be reduced for better gameplay experience.

Beep Pick - Brackeys Jam1 - 2023Music is a banger. The concept is good but lacking some tutorial. I was confuse at first but manage to figure out after reading the website description. As a player I felt kind of a little lost on what I'm trying to achieve here. That might be something to work about if you are going to expand this.

My LordI like the gameplay for stage 1. One suggestion: the field of view could be bigger as I find that I wasted a lot of time wandering around searching for ingredients.
I'm not quite sure what's happening on stage 2 tho, animals were falling out and the ark wouldn't move, and there were no obstacles? The shark speed could be lower.

Ruins on CloudThis entry’s bursting with creativity, there’s a lot going on! Very impressive depth for a small team in a small time.
First of all it is hilarious that Noah’s sons follow him around everywhere in Stage 1 in a line, I dunno why but that cracked me up, imagine childhood actually being that way!
There is a lot to figure out about how to capture animals. There’s a crafting system and each animal requires crafting a different contrivance to capture it. Since you’re on a timer, this means your first time out you probably won’t get all the animals.
I appreciate that the game lets you “win” no matter what - even with a score of 0 - but I’d have liked to be able to repeat Stage 1 after doing badly, so as to get a little practice in.
It is very simple fun to just get a bull mad at you and then laugh as you are yote 3 screens away. I suspect the pushback is to compensate for the fact that the animals are not genuinely dangerous; I don’t know if it works as intended but I do know I had a great time, please never fix this!
Stage 2 was a good idea, but I enjoyed Stage 1 more, and not just because the music was a bop. In Stage 2, I could not fish, so I was losing animals? at the maximum rate - but I didn’t have any animals, so I figured maybe we were cannibalizing the sons from earlier. Even this motivatingly macabre consequence of failure did not inspire in me the genius of how to fish.
Ultimately the fun of this one is in seeing how fast you can craft enough stuff to nab the animals in Stage 1. I think easy big improvements would be the ability to turn the music off and the option to replay a stage you’ve just completed.
Great work; thanks for the game!

Escape From The USS GroundhogWow thank you for so much feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I see a lot of people complaining about the intuitivity of the crafting system, but it’s just because I didn’t have time for making anything more advanced. Animals pushing you away is indeed intended. As for the stage 2, it’s because the WebGL build does not register keyboard inputs, because the corresponding float values are too low (I figured it out few hours after the deadline). So your ship just stands still all the time and you can’t explore the sea or find fish.
Interesting game, the crafting and different hands for different things was a little confusing, it felt like a lot to keep track of really early on.

Scrapbook QuestUsually I'm not a fan of blocky models (basically low poly models) but the gameplay was surprisingly good, well done on that. Also loved the concept of Noah's story fitting the theme of the Jam.

Modern FightersGraphics and sounds are good, but I think I was victim or several bugs :( I could catch animals, and somehow survivre through the waters (couldn't fish, no bubbles appear), but then I was unable to move at the third level. I restarted the game, and waited for it to pass until level 3, and still unable to move. But I think it's sad there is no win condition, like you can pass level even without saving any animal :/
I think you over scoped, which is classic. The concept fits the theme obviously, I would be glad to play it again once you can debug it!

The ExperimentCool game, the graphics are really cool to see that this is not your specialty. The gameplay is nice but I find the indications of what you have in your hand a little too small and maybe it would be better with pictures instead of words.

Le pissenlit 🌬️🌼I think you can be super proud of yourself!
That's a great achievement and really something that not everyone can do.
I had no problems with the control and think the game is very good! :D
