Thanks for playing!  Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

Fun game, super hard but gives you a little more control/visual feedback than others in the genre I've played which is nice.  Good sound/visuals 👍

Thank you for your kind words!!

Thanks for playing!! ♥

Thanks so much for playing!

I'm glad you appreciate Missile Barrage, that's one of my personal favorites :D  I tried to make each weapon viable and it makes me happy to hear there isn't one dominant favorite (altho I have heard the sword is what most of the uber-gamers have used to beat the super-hard semi-secret boss, it's probably a bit OP)

omg this game rules. your jump scare worked on me LOL

Thanks for checking it out!  I made a bunch of the textures in the cell from photographs. We were aiming for a half-life-1 level of fidelity. I need to check your game out, 2 of my teammates have said it's one of their favorites.

awesome.  I enjoyed watching your playthru 🙏

I like the graphics for the UI a lot. It's a cool idea for a game but a little confusing (could use some tutorializing mid-game rather than dumping all the info up front).  Well done overall!

I like the use of darkness and sound.  Unfortunately I was sprinting with the battery and it clipped through me?? and then through the floor I think... so it disappeared.  Mouse sensitivity is a little out of whack too I think.  But nice job 👍

Thanks for playing!! happy you enjoyed it

awesome! thanks for sharing

Drifter was released yesterday!  We made this w/ a team of 4 over 2 weeks for DreadXP's ExtraTerrestrialHorrorJam.  I worked as the 3D artist on the project

https://polyhedragames.itch.io/drifter

Story

You are a drifter. You've been endowed with powers from higher entities, enabling you to shift between dimensions in altered states of consciousness. 

Unfortunately, a brutal alien death cult is holding you captive and conducting weird medical experiments on you. They aim to harness your abilities for their own ends. 

Journey through this psychedelic, sci-fi, surrealist horror game where we explore the terror of the unknown, the power of dreams, and the horrifying fathoms of the human heart.

Gameplay

Drifter is an immersive, dialogue-driven first person experience with psychedelically dazzling lo-fi environments and effects. Interact via branching dialogue and explore surreal environments in this compacted, narrative-led adventure.

Here's a few screenshots:

please give it a play and share your thoughts or share the game with a friend!  We worked super hard on it and are really proud. Thanks for reading ♥

cute game! the environment looks pretty nice, would have loved some more juice and sound effects! nice job

It's got a really appealing visual style and the animation+juice are 10/10.  Love the sense of humor. The gameplay is a little too punishing for me (I got thru the tree boss thats it)-- no air control makes jumping difficult, enemies can kill you offscreen etc.  The mechanic for power building seems really unique & cool but also a little mechanically clunky to execute.

The illustration-style graphics were really nice! the sound design was cool and there is a real sense of tension.  It took me a second to get the combat (its tricky when you're relying on both sound cues for charging your weapon AND the enemies) but that's not a complaint it added to the tension of those moments.  I managed to get off the station successfully 😁  (super tiny bug note: the red flashing during the escape didn't take up my whole screen, I'm assuming because I'm playing in 4k. otherwise ran perfect!)

Thanks for checking it out! Glad you liked it

Thanks for the kind words! 💚

Thanks for playing!

yeah I think if I do some code cleanup + optimization a web version would be possible.  it was too laggy when loading stuff so I went with download only for this version

the running up houses is intentional they're so out of control they'll do anything to get their ice cream fix.  but it does lack finesse I kinda stuck a placeholder system in there and never updated it.  The performance is something I'd love to improve in a final version unfortunately all my time was spend just getting it finished in time haha.  thanks for checking it out!

$740 is great, nice job.  Yeah the game needs some optimization, didn't manage to get that in haha

ridiculously impressive for a jam game.  the goblin designs are full of so much character, great models.  its really cool how many modes you managed to cram in there!!  I do think with the production being such high quality that the gun sounds stood out as a bit piddly sounding but that is some serious nit-picking.  amazing entry! 

cool surreal game.  Im too dumb to figure out a math puzzle but I sussed out the liar on the flying train at least!  Nice quirky mysterious atmosphere with some great weirdos hanging around 👍 love it

really nice atmosphere, lovely graphics and audio.   I know it's not this kind of game but I really wanted to do flips when i went off a ramp 😂  well done! very impressive game

one of my favorites I've played so far.  very authentically recreates mode 7 effects!! super impressive.  the art is very full of character & the controls are intuitive.  nice challenge too!  so satisfying taking down the big ships

very chill.  love a marble game.  physics/controls work well. would be cool to see some additional mechanics or even just "vibe" stuff like some music & aesthetic additions

lol this game is hilarious.  amazing illustrations too.  very fun, great job!

The controls dont quite seem to always fire (sometimes I press jump and it doesnt jump) but nice job!  I really like the sprites

nice little infinite runner.  the mode switching is an interesting twist.  I'm very bad at it though LOL.  very nice soothing color palette, well done!

Thanks for giving it a play, glad you enjoyed!

You're not KILLING them you're just uh drowning them in what they DESIRE

Really cool game, I love all the care you've put into the UI etc, the editor is really nice.  Vehicle building games rule! (I'm actually working on a 3D one on the side right now haha)

Nice, I beat it!  The dynamic music is implemented well but got a little irritating haha.  I liked the progression of difficulty, well done, it was fun.

Neat jam game, what a fun idea.  Pretty impressive too, there's a lot involved in these systems! Well done.

Nice little game, I liked the progression of the levels.  The tutorialization at the beginning is pretty good too.  

Hey this is a really neat game, perfectly scoped and well-suited to the theme.   Controls + visuals +  sound were all well executed too.
