Amazing. I really thought it was just another sokoban game (I love sokoban games anyways) but then when we had the 4th wall breaks and the clever rule changes. Perfect mix of 2 concepts and the loop theme, I loved it.

Brilliant

Thank you for taking the time to elaborate. I didn’t see your reply before but I caught it now. Thank you, rhis will definitely help me improve this project, and any future projects :) gl to you too! Might have to replay your game again. 

Yes that's right I basically only had 3 days to work on this, I only found out about the game jam halfway through and then I had some life stuff in the way. I agree too and  I'm sorry for that the puzzles were unfairly hard sometimes with bugs, unforgiving hitboxes and invisible stuff. I'll work to fix it and it should feel much fairer and better to play then. I'll ttry my best to realise more of the concept's potential, thank you for your feedback! :)

Thank you for your kind words! :)

Already played it but it was fun :)

Thanks :) I enjoyed your game too you should also be proud!

Sounds good please do that for me.

thanks!if you tell me how to beat the first enemy in your game I’ll tell you how to beat the second level haha. No but you gotta use the frozen corpses to build a ”tower” so you can jump over the wall. It’s on me though I have no hint text or tutorial.  Thank you for the kind words 🙏 

Thanks, yeah I would have loved to make more, but even just those last 2 levels already tanked the looks and audio quality loads so unfortunately I could not make more in time for the jam :( if you want to see more I'll be releasing another version after the jam. Thank you so much for your kind words, I'll be sure to improve the game with your feedback in mind!

Wow I would say this was basically the perfect lenght, I mean I enjoyed the platforming and would've played more but yea this was probably the perfect amount. I really love the look of the game and I condone the use of AI here. because  this voice was perfect and it's very hard for a human to do that voice. Not sure if this was on purpose but it was a bit annoying hearing the ai repeat the same lines whenever I died (and I wouldn't mind being called a failure less :() Well done, but really well done for your first game jam.

If you have time you could check out my buggy game, you can probably tell it's my firs game jam and first "finished" game. Check the  description if you're having trouble. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts :)

Very neat, very well executed. It's simple but it's done very well. It's also unique I havent seen this done before. I'm surprised you were able to do so much with this mechanic. It's simplle abut done very well and it's fun and satisfying to play, well done!

really impressive if you played all these games too, kudos to you!

It's a bit buggy but I hope you have time to play it, and if you're stuck check the description. Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback :)

WHen Isaw the game was about cleaning I did not expect a game like this. I really liked tthis it was very fun haha. I only got to wave 8 and then it became impossible but I reallly appreciated how quickly the different enemy types appeared. I wish you could have showed how the differennt enemy types behaved clearer, and maybe another mechanic with the vacuum like a blast, or shockwave? Mayybe a push function? Beinng able to suck up powerups like the heal for example would be nice too. Still really fun game. Welll done especially for your first game!

My buggy game, read the description if  yoyu're having trouble. I hope you have time to play it, I'm going to check out your game right now :)

Nice game, short simple but fun. I'm not sure if you have coyote time, but it didn't feel like it. It would be a nice addition, also more levels of course. I noticed I could sometimes jump through the platforms but other times bump my head on the roof. So some way of knowing when that would happen would be nice. Otherwise well done on your first game, the  slime is cute and looks good :)

Hahahahah love the way you wrote that. Yes man I was really inspired by Limbo I’m impressed you could feel that. I’m not very good at art but that was my inspiration for the look of the game. Thank you for the kind words 🙏 

playing it asap 🫡

Thanks :), yeah this is basically my first time making more than just basic gameplay. First time adding visuals and sounds so thank you for your patience. Gl!

Uh I  was expecting something but not this... It was really fun and surprising haha an unexpected twist which makes this game really unique. My only complaint is that I was stuck at the email because I didn't know what I was supposed to  do. Welll done! Especiallly for your first game jam. Also blip stay the h**l away from me

My buggyy game, you might need to read the description. Good luck have fun and I hope you can share your thougts, all feedback is appreciated. Checking out your game now :)

Your link doesn't work for me :(

Played, enjoyed, commented rated!

 WOw the game looks really good, and it seems like it coulld become really fun. I don't know if I'm just bad but I can't get past the first enemy. He starts first and no matter what I do I jsut die. Not sure what feedback to give, the game looks really good and it works well. Maybe more hints if you're supposed to be able to beat him. Don't know if it's a skill issue but well done anyways!

sure thing. Love the pfp, haven't thought about mine yet

played, enjoyed, commented, rated :)

I see  the vision here and the animations are good and the dashing is really fun. I'll try to say som new things. For the text in the tutorial  I would prefer if it didn't fade or at least came back when I ran back because i just ran forward on instinct and then  Icouldn't read it and when I went back to read it it was gone. I think some sound effects and other things could really improve the look, feel and fun of the game. Good job on your first game jam!

Geoff only died a few times, played, commented  rated :)

A short but really fun game. I feel like Geoff is  a bit picky about his lines  for someone just trying to get home, but it was still a really  fun game, I think this game could become  even better with more of evereything to be honest. The art is good, the music to and the game is fun. Very welll done especially for your first game jam :)

Cooked commented rated now :)

I enjoyed the game and the art style. The concept is good and it works well, I don't know  if I'm just bad but I feel like the birds got mad at me really quickly haha. I think if you added some more animations or visuals it would really help improve clarity and the feel of the game. Good job!

Thank you for your kind words, I'll be sure to consider that :)

Thanks, fair enough haha :)

Playing asap :)

Playing your game as soon as I get home :)

I’m super glad you took the time to clarify. This is a goldmine for me :) Yes sometimes you do actually run into invisible stuff so  will fix that. I’ll make sure it’s clearer what kills you. I’ll see if I can make the unfrozen/frozen blocks behave more predictably. Thanks a lot again 🙏 

Thank you! I’ll be sure to polish it :)
