Definitely a more superior take than mine on the 'protect the pixel art Earth from flying space rocks' genre! Nice work, fun to plan and nice polished graphics.
Nice game mechanic and fun to play. I like the personality of the antagonist and the way the game builds in difficulty. The losing is good is perhaps a stretch but so was mine!
Nice game with a simple but interesting mechanic. I think I was struggling with collisions but otherwise it was fun to play, had a bit of strategy and great aesthetic and tunes
Nice game, well presented and plenty of 'juice'! Fun to play as well. Tricky to get a good score, sorry to all the little scorpions I accidentally killed along the way!
We did consider showing what is coming and having a balance of wasted food $ and bills paid just ran out of time and stopped as soon as it was kind of fun. Maybe in a future update! Thanks for the feedback :)
Nice work making a single game for three jams at once. I think the rotation is a bit of a stretch but I guess its there! The game went from slow to too hard pretty quickly but was fun while it lasted!
I was hoping that the spatula returns home eventually but I really should have constrained it a little to stop it getting too far away or locked behind things.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try your game out after work!
Complicated game! I made a menu and ate some cookies. I guess I could have earned more money if I set things right, but my dessert burger and healthy pizza still brought me in some income.
I got a bit confused with the commands and needed to use the help system after every command! Also some commands need to use the name and some work with the index so I got in a tangle, your gameplay video helped.
A very clever little game. I like the number of actions and the modifiable items. In a small room with only a few items it feels like there are lots of things to try. Variety in the scientist action makes it interesting as she responds to every single move you make.
I had to play through a few times before I got any job offer at all and still feel like there is more to it. I'm going to play a bit more before I rate it.
One thing I did notice - and I'm not sure if its intentional it not - but some of the math answers will give correct and incorrect responses for the same command. e.g.,
>math, 1
Weird but accurate!
Incorrect, that number is not the solution to any of the equations.
Interesting game in two very short acts. The map was needed because the room descriptions don't provide all the exits.
I seemed to win even though I lost so I'm not sure if the glitched or I got confused with the story. Challenging with the limited parser but there is some personality to this game that could be developed with more time.
I needed to tweak your source code in order to play past the lab. I think you have a stray exit() on line 56.
Once I took that out I could play the game. I agree with cmd16, it starts frustrating but you get into a groove. It's pretty random but that's the style of this game, strange and unexpected deaths from the obvious answers and success from the less obvious ones.
You need the watch to be counting backwards instead of forwards. There is an item in your inventory and a device in the laboratory that can change the watch to work how you need it... I hope that helps without being too much of a spoiler!
Fair feedback - It turned out to be more challenging than I thought to learn Inform AND make a game in the time I ended up having available. Lesson for me is more getting other people's eyes on it earlier to find those tricky situations and missing verbs and descriptions.
There are loads of good recipes in the Inform 7 documentation but from about halfway through the jam I ended up adapting the puzzles and scenes that I wanted to do to what I knew how to do at that point. Next game I'll experiment with a more features and get more external play testing in!
There is a (too?) subtle clue in the description of the watch for what you need to do. Hope that helps get you unstuck!
Nice graphics and voice acting. It took me a while of driving around to work out where to prospect - I was originally looking for visual clues on the map but one I got the hang of it I was away :)
