What an incredible creative graphics style. Never saw something like that. May I ask how you made it and/or what was the inspiration for that?

At the beginning was bit confused by the buttons and thought have to play with them, because WASD did not work and did not try arrows first^^

The colliders in level 3 somehow feel a bit too big. At least tried it several times now on 2 different ways, but can't complete it unfortunately.

So all in all a very nice game, just wished i could have played it a bit further :-)

so pleased you enjoyed it. The graphics where made using shapes in PowerPoint then i applied a filter in PowerPoint and exported. I was pleased with the results. Check out some of my other games for more. The owl witch and Plague and Flames used similar graphic filters... sorry to hear u got stuck on level 3... remember u can skip a level on the map to get the most out of the game. Thanks again for playing 💜👍 hope u will try my other games if u get time

The idea for the game is great, the music is atmospheric, but the optimization is a bit weak, not very convenient controls, although simple

Really enjoyed  the game. Art style was very unique and I liked it a lot. Only thing I have to say is the collision felt inaccurate at times and I died when I didn't touch something. Other than that, had a lot of fun!

Good game, i really liked the graphics of the game. I wish you could move in 2 directions at once (e.g.: up and left) when using arrow keys.

thank you. When your a solo dev u need to save time to get the 'right' look. So I drew the vector shapes and then exported those as images before running the filter in PP. You might enjoy the graphics in my game the Owl Witch too. I dud a similar thing. It's on my page. 🦉 🧙‍♀️  Enjoy it if u have time! Thanks again

Solid submission for 7 days! for some reason, most of the buttons were triggered right when you hover over them, plus the game would feel a lot better if the player faced where you were swimming, and not just left/right. But the graphics were really interesting, its like everything was sown together :)

Wow I love the graphics, they are soo unique! I haven't seen a game like it art wise, and definitely not in this game jam yet. If it's okay to ask, how did you achieve this look? Aside from the art, great selection of missions to pick from providing a nice variety. Awesome entry, great job!

I'd love to try it but I am stuck on a screen that looks like this. None of the buttons do anything aside from make the audio glitch, it seems to be impossible to leave this screen and access the game.

It worked at least somewhat on another browser and then I hit a weird glitch that didn't even seem to want me to play the actual game. This was just using arrow keys..

GamesByJackDeveloper251 days ago

dude some of those levels are tricky. As a solo dev I find you test a fair bit and naturally get good at it. Then when u release it people say it's abit too hard. I am still learning. Loads of other games on my page of you get time to check them out. Would love views n feedback. Nice 1! 

Reply
Dream MachineSubmitted251 days ago

No worries man I feel your pain as a solo dev myself. I think it's great that you made these levels challenging because that way it makes the game more worth beating, but that's just my opinion. Also, whenever I get the chance, I'll definitely check out your other games! I'm fairly new myself and am learning a bunch as I go.

GamesByJackDeveloper251 days ago

yep. I've been deving for about 5 years using gdevelop. It's really moved on as a scene since then. Lots of people doing cool stuff (putting mine often to shame) but hey how! It's allll goooooddd!!!

Interesting artstyle choice, i mean the backgrounds, they look kinda mosaics. I would've preferred it if the character could be controlled by wasd or arrow keys, instead of UI direction buttons. I appreciate the handdrawn assets made by you, in a short time. I like add various different levels and how travel to those levels from the map. I think overall it's a nice little project for a game jam

A unique take with the zoomed-in CRT TV pixel effect which really gives it a story/scrapbook-style gameplay! The UI buttons go out of screen on doing full screen tho (not an issue due to the arrow controls). Choosing from a variety of mission also seems fun but takes away the desire to reach the last boss of the game kind of feeling. Nice game overall.

thanks for the indepth feedback. The level selection map was to allow players to return to the game and pick up were they left off. I agree however it might take away from that feeling of progress. Glad you enjoyed the game. Check out my other games if u have time. You love to hear your views. Being a solo dev means I can get caught up in things which either don't work or need tuning. Thank you again 😃
