Good theme idea and I enjoyed playing it felt very puzzley.

One thing I would fix is the color palette which feels a bit off

Well done!

Wait For The Prince

Fun game! Felt a little like Where's Waldo. I was very bad at it but I was able to do it on Easy mode okay.

Thank you :) It is very much like Waldo, we talked about it a lot when making the concept.

I like the surreal aesthetic of this! Controls were a bit hard to understand though.

Saman BoboDeveloper296 days ago

Thank you :) we definitely could have done a better job in explaining the controls

Really vibed with the music and theme of this one, great job! Big fan of the slightly surreal aesthetic too.

Icarus vs The Sun

I loved the concept. What a lovely idea to put the identity question into a light-hearted dance game. I didn't understand the controls at first, then went backt to the menu and there the explanation lay bare in front of me. Good stuff, I'd be happy to see what you would make of it with more time. Maybe after the jam?

P.S.: Solid beats.

Thank you for the kind words, we are actually thinking about working on it some more :) I'm glad you liked the explanation of the controls, we struggled with them perhaps not being explained clearly enough.

Kim VuSubmitted297 days ago

I thought they did not stick out enough on the main screen. Maybe a few tweaks on the visuals will do the trick?

Saman BoboDeveloper297 days ago

Sorry I guess I misunderstood your comment. Yeah, the layout of the main menu could definitely be improved..

I absolutely LOVE the music in this game, for real I sometimes open the game just to listen to it for a while. The concept and the art are also amazingly great.

I can only criticize that the characters were so small that sometimes it was hard to follow the action.

Still, great game and congratulations!!

Do Not Climb The Mountain

Saman BoboDeveloper297 days ago(+1)

Thank you so much, the music really does bring the atmosphere to another level :) I agree that some of the dance moves are not as visible as they should be, but we also wanted to leave some space for the background art. If only we had more time and we could play around with it some more :)

HombrePaloSubmitted297 days ago

That's quite an extended feeling all over the developers, but we have to be proud of doing the best we could with the tools we have ^^

Saman BoboDeveloper297 days ago(+1)

You are definitely right on that note :)

PusheeneiroSubmitted297 days ago

That's a really abstract game for me

Saman BoboDeveloper297 days ago(+1)

I'm not sure if this is a compliment, but I'll take it! :D
