Nice job! Good little gravity puzzle game! I I like the simplicity of the art style, and I think you introduce new mechanics at a great pace!

Great interpretation of the theme! I love the hand drawn art style and the slight perspective shifts of being in a 3D space! It was fun trying to take advantage of the physics here and there to skip certain sections. Falling down gave Getting Over It vibes. Well done!

Love the the 1 bit art style, and the core concept! 

I could be missing something, but I agree with some of the other feedback about it feeling too difficult. The most fun run I had was when I modified the difficulty to give as much of every stat as I could get.    xD

I could see any of the previously suggested ideas being a nice improvements:
- momentum to continue spinning you
- the ability to control which way you spin
- hot keys for refilling air and energy

Regardless, great job!

Nice interpretation of the theme! For me, the spin controls were a little too sensitive and that made it a little hard to aim. The enemy approach speed also felt a bit too slow, like I was waiting for them a bit too long.

I liked the explosion animation, and how it still included the eye, and the art style is a good pixel art vibe! Good job!

Good use of the theme with spinning to charge your attacks. Simple and clear visuals with a good amount of juice and extra polish features like tutorial, skins, and how UI elements spun around you too.

Well done!

Lost to a doorknob, a football, and a CD. 0/10! xD.  jk!

Love the tongue in cheek nature of the whole thing! Definitely gave old Flash game vibes! 

Good job!

Great simple game play loop, especially within the constraints of a jam! Nice implementation and interpretation of the theme. I appreciate the digs at big corops lol

It sounds like this isn't in a state you're completely satisfied with, and that can be tough, but as someone who also struggled with being content and happy with the state their game was in, I'm glad you still got something submitted! 

From what I can tell, the things you accomplished here aren't easy (especially in a week), and you should be proud!

Easily the most serious game I've seen! ; )

Fun game! Really like the art style's hand drawn look and feel. Climbing directions feel a bit unintuitive to me (pressing left had me move left and up or left and down which I wasn't expecting).

Fun interpretation on the theme and well made. Good job!

Nice idea! My best score I got from clicking as fast as possible without moving the mouse  xD  

Still fun! Good job!

I like the idea of scaling yourself to navigate the levels. I also liked the simpler art style with the lighting effects. Gave a very "Thomas Was Alone" vibe. The music didn't quite fit the vibe for me. It made me feel like I should have been rushing, but I wasn't aware of any time constraints. 

Regardless, good job! Fun game!

Nice puzzle game. I liked the added challenge with different block sizes! Art style was nice and the idea was creative.

Really well made! The art style and detail is great! Everything about the presentation is on point!

I also really enjoyed the idea sneaking around a poker table to help cheat to! Well done!

I like the idea of a magic bean changing size, and climbing down something instead of up. Good and consistent art style too. Good job!

Cool idea! Definitely curious to see what else could have been done with this. Not sure if this was intentional, part of the time crunch, or both, but I like the art style too. Gives off Thomas Was Alone vibes.

Really well made! Nice use of theme, but I couldn't solve it 😅 Not sure what I'm missing. I thought combed over each room with the mouse to find things to interact with, but I'm still missing 2 motives for a suspect and am assuming one of those is the correct answer. 

The only feedback I really have is nitpicks, because it's so well done.

• your feet are about 1 pixel off the ground when you use the steps
• some of the sentences don't end with periods
• I think one of the door time logs was incorrectly showing AM instead of PM because if it's right they would have been out all night and it didn't show an entry for "next day" between them like other door logs (or maybe that's a clue I'm not grasping 😅)
• I played in the browser, and if I didn't fullscreen, the edge of the rooms get clipped and it's easy to miss the drawers
• some consistency on the highlighting between the rooms may be nice; it took me a bit to realize I could interact with the drawers because the first one i tried was empty and so didn't highlight, which made me think i couldn't interact with any of the drawers until i highlighted one by sheer coincidence

Again, all nitpicks (or things I missed 😂). Great job! Hope to see more in the future!

Nice platformer! Animations and sounds are on point. Using keys as weapons was a nice touch.  Good concept! Keep it up!

Like others have said, good job given the time constraint! I liked all the different mini games there were outside of just fighting monsters.

I did find myself wishing there were some quality of life features like being able to hover over items to figure out what items or stats did what, etc, but I get not putting those in given the time constraint. Other little tidbits include

• some more audio including music
• consistent graphical style including text

Good job though! Keep it up!

Creative idea. I'm not a door dasher, but I imagine they get customers like this 😂

Nice job! I liked the genre swapping. Made the below place really feel extra strange and alien. Both genres felt pretty fleshed out, and liked all the ideas at play. The visuals and sounds all worked great to sell the different paces of each part of the game. 

I also liked how on theme it felt. You went through a door, and spent time trying to survive and figure out what else was behind this strange door.

My only two pieces of feedback:

• the mouse sensitivity was a bit too high for me and made platforming in first person feel a bit slippery
• it took the guest too long to open the door for my taste (but maybe i'm just impatient 😅 - i just wanted to get to it! )

Good job! Keep it up!

Great work! Great eerie atmosphere, and nice puzzles. Certainly left me wondering what's behind the door. Looking forward to next week lol

Oh no to that door blocking lady! 😂

Nice platformer. I like the idea that everything is a door 😂 Good work incorporating momentum too. Though I did get stuck in the hole in the 3rd level 😅

Nice twist on the Monty Hall problem, and very on theme. Good work. I liked the old school Windows theme too. I could totally see this being a game on a Windows 95 machine 😂

Simple, but certainly challenging! Nice work!

Nice platformer. I enjoyed the mystery of what's behind the door at the end of each level. I also liked the clean and simple art style, and the little effects on the laser lines. Some critical feedback:

• SFX felt a bit too loud compared to the chill quieter music
• it was too hard to tell whether a dark purple platform was on or off (colors were too similar)
• the text at the end of each level didn't fit the art style of the rest of the game

Overall though, good job!

Player controls really well. Darkness was great for setting the atmosphere, but was a bit much for navigating a maze. Bullet SFX could have been a little punchier, but the background music when you first enter the building help sell the atmosphere. 

Hope you keep making more stuff

Nice clean simple visual style. Nice calming music. Items were a bit hard for me to see with everything being a black or dark gray, but I did defeat that monster! Good work!

Nice work! I like the look, and it immediately gave me an old school Doom feel! I also liked that some doors were dead ends! It was unexpected!

No lectures I could think of to link you. It was just a kind of intuitive thing I guess.

I went back and replayed it just to mess with the cursor, and to give a better understanding of what I was expecting vs what was happening. Thanks for the explanation of the clockwork directions. That makes sense and is easy to understand in a scenario picture above.

What I was expecting was something more along the lines of the cursor moves in the direction I press (if there's something in that direction). For example, if I press the Right arrow key, it'd highlight the right door. Then if I pressed Left if would jump all the way across to highlight the left door. 

I think generally, I was expecting the cursor to move in the direction of the arrow key I press, and highlight the object in that direction, if any, That's just my initial opinion, and the clockwise thing makes sense too once I know about it. I wouldn't make any changes based on just my thoughts alone, but that's my 2 cents. Hope it helps.  😊

Nice work! Graphics and sounds are great! Nice little spin on some vampire survivor type mechanics. Having to figure out the spacing for the charge attack was neat. I wish the hitbox for it covered a little below me, but other than that, it was smooth sailing. Good work!

Nice little psycho thriller! Got all 3 endings. Good work!

Really cool and unique stop motion style graphics! Great voice acting, and music! 

My two biggest point of feedback are 

• not having to use the mouse to click to the next level when everything else uses the keyboard
• it'd be nice if the camera in the arcade sections followed the player more so I could see where I was going instead of having to run into the bottom corner of the screen and only getting to see a few blocks ahead of me

Nice job! Great style!

Nice little puzzle game! Reminded me of old school game boy Zelda games. Nice slow progression of mechanics, simple and clean graphics, and good mechanics and sound effects. Keep it up!

Nice game! I like the ideas in place, but they could use a bit of polish is all. Some more character animations when you move, the layer of some sprites was off (I ended up with a railing over my face), and having coming out of a room by the rooms door instead of at the end of the hallway would be nice.

But good concept! Keep it up!

Thanks for the tip about the dialog mechanic. I totally missed that! And the level design definitely needs another pass! 😅

I think this was my favorite interpretation of the theme yet! An elevator door would have something different behind it every time it opens! Clever!

I had fun right off the bat! I like the idea or running to and from the elevator and having to collect things to progress.

Two ideas / pieces of feedback:

• the dash felt like it went too far too fast and made it feel a bit jarring
• i liked seeing how much oil there was to complete each level, but wish it showed me how much I had already collected
• I think it could also be neat to see some overall progression between levels too. Something that shows how far you are across the earth, (and you can estimate how much oil you'll need to get there), and then maybe that opens up the possibility of not having to get every can of oil from each floor. And adds some extra level of player choice based on the danger of the floor you're on. For example, "Oh I have enough oil to get to the next floor so I'll skip this floor cuz it looks tough", or "Oh, this is a really dangerous floor, I'm just going to go for one can of oil here"

Just some thoughts. Regardless, great work! May be my favorite so far! Good theme with a simple and engaging gameplay loop!

I share the opinions of some comments here. I loved the 2.5D art style, and think you did a great job setting up the premise with interesting dialogue, but the bumpiness of the mechanics made the rest of the experience difficult.

• love the art style
• great sound design
• nice intro (though I'd delay the scrolling of the text a second or two, as I was racing to read it as it scrolled at first)
• the aiming reticle didn't seem to line up with the wolves; aiming at them threw balls over their head, and aiming down didn't help
• hard to tell if I was catching something (I saw some text about a 30% catch rate..?)
• turning felt slow when trying to avoid wolves, and once i aggro'd them they were on me 😅

Really like the concept and art style, which is no small feat with a limited amount of time during a jam, so good work, and hope to see the mechanics smoothed out at some point and give it another go! Keep it up!

Nice game! Reminded me of those older dungeon exploring games, or a text adventure with updated graphics. I see a UI in your screenshots, but I wasn't seeing it when I played in the browser. Some sounds and some variety behind doors would go a long way (I only saw skeletons and chests).

Good work! Keep it up!
