A very neat game that does everything a jam game should!  There isn't too much to the gameplay but it's still very entertaining. The atmosphere is great, and the interior of the car brings back fond memories of the ship from Outer Wilds. I haven't played anything more risky in this jam, hahaha. Well done!

Thank you for playing! Yes, I should add a setting to reduce screen shake.

Good luck to you too! Thanks for doing this, and nice entry :D

Thank you so much for the kind words!!

So many interesting ideas in one entry! The gameplay is really well done. The effect of objects fading in near you is pretty cool also and makes exploring the level way more interesting. Good work!

Playing yours now! I just need one more rating to get to 20. I really hope you enjoy!

The game has a lovely sense of adventure. You don't know how excited I was when I hopped onto the boat and it started taking me to another island (which I had just assumed was decoration, not an actual level)! Even though it's simple, it hooks you in by your curiosity. Great work! 

(Also, is the music original? It's quite good.)

I'm playing your game now! Here's mine, I still need 3 more ratings. Hope you enjoy!

Nice entry! The concept is perfect for the theme. I think the movement would feel a little better if letting go of W early would end your jump, so you can jump various heights depending on how long you hold the key. This isn't necessary though, but I think it would serve the game well. Good work!!

I just need three more. I would really appreciate if you gave mine a try. I'm playing yours now :D

Fun, easy to grasp, and very polished! My only nitpick would be that it's difficult to know exactly where you're going to respawn after dying (and how soon), which led to me dying a couple times in quick succession just out of disorientation. Other than that, great work! I like the incentive to play riskier in order to get a better time.

Thanks so much for playing! What you might be experiencing with the second saw is that there's a trampoline on the ceiling that will bounce you down into the sawblade if you jump too high. I think it's a little unclear though, so thanks for the feedback!

A really cool entry! The style and atmosphere is fantastic :)

Thank you for the kind words!

I’m going to try yours as soon as I can. Here’s mine, I hope you enjoy!

Thank you!

One of the coolest games I've seen this jam! Very consistent artstyle and good sound design (though a bit lacking in music). It's polished for a jam game. The game is pretty hard, but I prefer it that way haha. Great work!

I rated your game! I'm trying to get my own game to 20 ratings too, so I would really appreciate if you gave it a try!

Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words! And you're right, the dialog boxes can be a bit distracting as they are now.

Thanks so much for playing! The moving parts being relatively slow was actually intentional, to force you to have to entertain the audience in the meantime, rather than running straight through. Still, I see how it could be a bit annoying, so I could make them a bit faster. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks so much for playing and I'm glad you liked it! I am definitely considering turning it into a full game post-jam :)

This is awesome! I love the atmosphere of the ship and the music that plays during the battle, hahaha. Mechanically it's very polished as well, and the way the units attack each other looks good. A tiny nitpick is that there could be a little more feedback in the UI when you don't have the money to buy a unit. Really great work!

Excellent work! This is one of the best games I've played this jam: it feels very polished and complete for a jam game. The art style is consistent and the sound design is good. There's an impressive amount of content. My only nitpick would be that I'm not sure if the risk aspect of the theme comes through fully, since you don't really have any choice but to explore, and risk implies (to me) something you had the option of avoiding. This is really minor though and kind of up to interpretation. Great entry!

A good entry! The concept is great and fits perfectly with the theme, and the cartoony sound effects made me laugh. 

Feel free to try mine! I'm going to give yours a try now :D

Okay, thanks for the feedback!

I'm only at 11 ratings right now, so I would really appreciate if you gave mine a try! It's very short

There's a really impressive amount of content in this for a jam game! I like the writing too. Great work!

I would really appreciate if you gave mine a try! I'm playing yours now :)

Thank you for playing, and I'm happy you like the visuals! I'm curious what you mean about the controls though, they seem pretty standard to me as far as platformer games go. What feedback would you give there?

Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed the gameplay! I feel sorry for the machine too

Good work! It's a fun game with a lot of really impressive systems in place, like the quests, inventory and shop. I think the concept is very good but it could be improved by making it a bit darker outside. It didn't seem super dangerous (even if it actually was) because it was pretty bright and looked like there were no enemies (since they're invisible outside of the flashlight). Other than that, I think there's a lot of potential here, and you should be proud of this entry!

A simple but hilarious game. I loved the Cookie Get sequence and the Dark Souls death text. I also appreciate the main menu and win menu cutscenes, hahah. Nice work!

I would love for you to try my game! Still trying to reach 20 ratings...

I'm going to give yours a play now!

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Your game's really fun, I've just rated it! I'm only at 7 ratings right now. Would really like for you to give mine a try! :D

Great entry! The wall-switching mechanic is actually really clever, and I think there's a lot of potential there. Reminds me of Fez in a way. The dialogue was also pretty entertaining and witty. This is an especially polished entry--often game jam games can be a bit frustrating, but that was not the case at all. Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much! I'm trying yours now too

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the sound design, I had a ton of fun with that hahaha! You're right that the difficulty could probably use a bit of balancing, at least for a first level (:

Cool game! I managed to make it pretty far. The grappling hook mechanics are quite good, but its pretty hard to throw correctly, and occasionally it'll shoot out super far away. Unity physics bugs are always pesky... Great work!
