Thanks a lot for this review! I'm very grateful for the tons of feedback you just gave us!
I completely ignored that the WASD could be used instead of the arrow keys. That makes sense given how Unity's new input system works but it haven't crossed my mind before you mentioned it. I will have to check it out, but we probably used a function that called specifically for the arrow keys on the "messenger" game.
For the apple game you indeed have to mash the left button to push the doctor. After the jam, we agreed that this game could be simplified by starting in the pushing position and simply having to mash the space bar. There is no real point in leaving the player the option to move around.
I'm carefully taking all your very good comments into account. Thanks again for your review (and for your incredible game as well!).
(by the way 24 is a solid high score ;) )
Very nice game. Nice story loop. All the mini-games were very polished, fun and the humor made it a pleasant experience.
In the future you might get more ratings if you find a way to have a file that can be downloaded on itch.io directly but I realize it might not be easy to get a file small enough while keeping the very nice high quality graphics that you've made.
Also, that's more feedback for your real life but I would advise against toasting bread AND putting it in the microwave afterward. Also, avoid crossing public park in the dark, especially if they are populated with bears ;)
Thanks a lot for the review!
One of the last change before we submitted was to add more difficult words to the "read between the lines" game. Before that, it was just "Cat", "Cow", "Dog" and other very simple word. I definitely went a bit too far in solving that problem and now I sigh everytime I get "hippopotamus".
Anyway, thanks again for the review!
Thanks for your review!
It's 8 game in total. We hoped to have something like 20 but it was unreasonable in such short time frame.
For the apple, you have to mash the left arrow once you come in contact with the doctor. The plan was to put an indication on top of the player's head indicating you have to do that but we ran out of time.
For the word, did you notice that you can move the upper portion of the paper up and down to be able to read the word? That's definitely the way you will be able to identify the word.
You nailed the graphics and the audio complements it very well. Loved that cat belly expanding as he's breathing, it really helped cope with the harsh critics :P The progression was a little bit harsh, it's really hard to get the first few movies to work but overall it's a beautiful and soothing experience!
The visuals and music make for a very relaxing game. The concept is nice and it's a fun take on the theme!
The one thing I would improve is to add some minimal animation just to give feedback on what he did wrong (or right) before triggering the game over screen. For example, seing that the fox eats the chicken.
But already it's super polished. Your team did a great job!
For a first game you already got the basis right. The pixel art is good. You got a nice ambiance for the title screen, I especially liked the "help" page, the control sprites are beautiful.
It's obviously a bit short and a few things could be improved. The one I would brought first would be to give the player some feedback so he knows he finished the level. Just a sound playing and maybe a message appearing.
Keep up the good work!
Great game! Initally I was left a bit dubious, not sure what to do.
After I understood what the tracker module did I got hooked.
You really nailed the ambiance, I liked the feeling of being that small thing confronted with the immensity of this planet with all its enigmatic environment. I am particularly sensitive to the sounds and while there is no music the sound effects do a great job of conveying the ambiance.
