I was dying to know how it ended. I think this was a great interpretation of the theme. Definitely a game I will remember for a while. My only criticism is that their isn't much to the gameplay. But you certainly created a narrative, atmosphere, and experience that was captivating.
Beautiful game art and sound wise. I think there is probably a great narrative here too, but the only issue for me was that I find the controls difficult. Perhaps I don't understand the mechanics of a boat that well. I made it to the first light and I knew the game was something special. I tried a few more times but could not progress. Atmosphere was exceptional.
Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to play! Pacing was a concern I had during testing, but was a bit too far along to adjust. Lesson learned there.
Ok I did find the solution. I wish the game was longer because I think some more of the vine puzzles could have been cool and creative. 'Tis the nature of the game jam game.
A fine game. I enjoyed the concept of using the tentacles as platforms after making them disappear. I had some pleasant "Ah-ha!" moments. I wasn't able to understand the riddle the elder gave and therefore could not progress (that just might be me). Using A/D and space has movement and using the mouse was a bit tricky. I would liked to see more of the game but I the point I reached had me stuck and I couldn't find a way to progress in the elder's room or the one before it. Perhaps this difficulty was intended. For me I wanted to keep platforming and not think about the riddle.
A very creative game (and very meta)! Touching on cheating tools in gaming and prediction markets is very topical and I've never seen it in a game before. Also the gameplay being on a desktop was cool. However, I felt it took too much set up to get into the action. The cheats didn't seem clear and I was just clicking randomly. I also didn't understand how the pokemon-equse game worked so I didn't know how to cheat. The ransom goal seemed very high and the actual gameplay a bit monotonous. Visually the game is very cluttered and hard to focus on what is going on. The chat aspect was very unique but moved to quickly to follow. On of the most creative games I have ever played, but it kind of game me a headache.
Hello! I am thinking about joining this jam. It will be my first cozy jam. I have done a handful of jams in the past. I work with the unreal engine. I'm in the EST time zone. If you are interested hit me on discord: #erasio.
I am an unreal engine dev for about 3 years. I've worked with pixel art in the engine many times. I have experience with PaperZD a powerful plugin designed to help create 2D games in the Unreal Engine. I am passionate, hard-working, and organized. All of my previous jams have been solo, so I am looking to team up for the first time! I speak English and I am good at Spanish. You can rely on me to get my share of the work done, and in a timely manner. I also am not worried if this is your first jam! If you need a last-minute dev, I am your man! Best of luck to everyone!!
Hi! I'm a C++/Blueprint Unreal Dev looking for an Artist(s) to team up with. I've done two jams and both were solo. So, looking to team up for the first time! I have a strong work ethic and just about the only thing I get competitive about is game jams.
Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to play! Your game had some tight controls, and was fun. I think I went overboard trying to get the low gravity feel right.
I liked this game. The laser did not work for me, but I think it did I would be a hit! And yea a meter to odometer to distance to surface would be cool too. Good work!
Just completed my first jam, and I am ready for more. I am okay with pretty much any art style if you have a specialty. I have an open schedule, so I can work with different time zones.
