Neat idea! I think the rope was a bit too elastic, made it pretty hard to get it where I wanted it. An idea could be being able to reel in and out whatever you're tethered too
Love the idea of the combination of the different ideas, think it works really well and has great potential. The triangles were annoying to hit though sometimes. Also hexagons are the bestagons.
By not getting enough ratings I mean so that if you got above the median number of ratings your score wouldn't have been scaled down, because if more people rated the same way other people did you would have been 2nd originality, and top 100 overall, and you only needed 3 more ratings for that to happen. If I saw your game during the jam instead of after I would of given it 5/5 in everything lol
I think your game was amazing and it was a shame you didn't get enough ratings to get into the top 100. I could have talked about your game for an entire video but felt people playing the game would give a better experience than me just talking about it :)
Thanks! It's definitely intentional to make you feel bad with how cute those Ziggies are! First time player experience is definitely something we want to work on if we do a post jam update. Thanks for submitting the game! Was very fun and definitely enjoyed my "Victory". I laughed at the victory screen shot!
Yeah, locking the frame rate was the way to fix it (in most but not all circumstances). We uploaded a patch on another page with just an FPS lock so future viewers should hopefully have a better experience!
Unfortunately powering up the ships systems kills the Ziggy's, you can only spawn new ones not re-charge the old ones. It should definitely be more obvious inside the game that this is the case! (If we do post-jam updates that's the sort of thing we're planning on improving)
That's a lot better than my programmer art! The visuals are well done. It didn't feel like I had enough agency, I know it's meant to be out of control but a faster character and a more zoomed out perspective could have helped with the core game loop. Was still fun!
(If you want to check out the game I worked on would be appreciated :)
Great idea! For the controls, if you could shoot in a different direction to where you're facing it would definitely make it feel better. Was fun, stealth + control resource + latching works really well together!
(If you want to check out the game that I worked on would be appreciated :)
The thing with trying to make your controls "out of control" is that you should still focus on making the game as fun as possible. If the character went directly towards the mouse rather than only at 90 degree increments it could have helped. Was still enjoyable and nice pixel art! (Can't comment on the sound as am using Firefox but I'll assume it was also great!)

Is cool! Got a bit stuck at the first electric thing before I realised I had to dash, and walking through the level after dying & having to wait to pick up "w" is a bit annoying. Was still fun!
(If you want to check out the game I worked on would be appreciated:)
The idea definitely has potential! I know someone else didn't make their dialogue system within the jam which would have allowed you to work more on other parts of the game!
(If you want to check out our game would be appreciated!)
The visuals were super cool, is it all 3D with a nice shader? I wasn't sure what to do with the guardians as the guy says I thought we could take them but I think I was just meant to run away? Cool idea, and was fun!
Is cool! It wasn't entirely obvious what was happening? Like why was the blocks colour changing. Some more game juice and balancing could help, like more of the randomness. Was still fun and is a cool idea!
(If you could check out our game would be appreciated :)
Thanks! Yeah, I did mention about that. The game seems to take all the GPU it can have leaving none for the capture software, we haven't quite worked out how to fix it yet but hopefully we'll work it out soon!
Cool idea! The text can be hard to read as there isn't much contrast. Also you can do a lot with simple assets with some small tweaks (lights, vfx, colour palette etc.). But yeah, was fun as a weird stealth game.
(If you could rate the game I worked on would always be appreciated!)
Nice visuals. While it was difficult to beat the game it also could have been too "in control". All you had to do was to hold away from where the dogs were chasing to get them to follow you unless I missed something. If the leashes got wrapped around the trees for example that could have been interesting. Was still fun!
If you could rate our game would be very appreciated :)
Was fun, would be cool if when you pressed jump before landing you would jump as that can be annoying. Also the sound effect of landing didn't sound great (I know that you used pre-existing audio but if you could have found a better sound effect that might have been good). But yeah, was fun.
Scoping correctly in a gamejam can be difficult! If you just got the pushing off mechanic working & looking better rather than trying to add in more mechanics it definitely would have been better. It does have potential!
Cool idea! On the last level that I did the character went up on the elevator but didn't walk off (was walking towards walking off) and so had to make the character jump to get off the elevator which was a bit annoying. If that's intentional the elevator probably shouldn't go up so far to show that
Not uploading it to the jam page and instead to another page which you link from the jam page means that you can cheat and edit the game after submission, which is why you should really upload it to the jam page for fairness
Great asset! I used this and your slime one for a game jam, and was great to use. https://acgames.itch.io/death-is-nothing-but-a-door If I wanted to release the source of my game and it included your asset would that be fine?
