Had a bit of a hard time understanding this at first but after that I found it really fun. I think having a bit clearer/more feedback on whether a hit/block was successful would help too. Looking at it there is some feedback but for some reason I had a hard time noticing it while concentrating on the enemy's next move. But really solid overall and really cool how you got this done in just 4 days!
thank you so much, that's very nice to hear. Would have also loved to put in more options to combo but there simply wasn't enough time. Might continue working on this in the future though :)
Super cute game. Apparently my brain cannot comprehend how to get on after the first part but that's fine, I had fun! Also very juicy and pleasant sounds :)
Really cool concept, love how many of us took a similar approach to the theme but went into very different directions with it. Would love to see more levels and more blocks of code.
Crazy how many levels you got finished during the jam! And how much puzzle/gameplay you get from such few timeline slots amazes me. Quite addictive - love it!
I reaaally dig the idea and art style (so cool how the last boss even has arm movements signaling their action)! Such a simple concept (through it took me a moment to grasp - my gf says I should have read the instructions :D). Retriggering loops through other loops could have been cool aswell but probably super broken too
I really liked the art style and cute animals. Would have loved to be able to drag/draw with the mouse instead of clicking for a more chill experience that does not hurt my fingers :D
Thank you! We originally wanted to give sword even more traversal mechanics (e.g. the big sword to push yourself up on ledges) but we couldn't make it work in time. And it is actually not inspired by a dark souls mod, but I might have to give that a try :D
Thank you very much! My girlfriend did all the art and is very happy you guys seem to like it! I agree that the platforming and physics is a little wonky, we simply ran out of time to really polish that up.
Hey, thanks for playing and the feedback. I agree that the difficulty is quite high but I didn´t have much time left for level building so that´s why I just left it at 2 pretty hard levels. Even after all the play testing I myself could never a get a gold medal hahah.
I really enjoyed your game as well, just played it and left a review - well done! :)
just played through your game and really enjoyed it! I really liked how keeping up with all things in life got more difficult the older you got, it felt quite authentic and the music was really good to set the mood as well! The soundtrack reminded me of Firewatch quite a bit (if you played that).
I also got some good laughs out of it and I guess I lived quite the interesting live, a 2 times homeless professor with 3 kids and his wive, living in a small apartment but becoming a rockstar in the end at age 59.
Overall a simple but effective idea and I´m impressed at how you got so much into it for a rather short game jam. I´d love a bit more consequences - maybe you get ill faster or your wive leaves you when you get homeless? But it´s obvious that you only have so much time during a jam so that´s no problem at all.
Did you "hardcode" all the choices or how did you control what appeared when and under what conditions? I wanted to get into walking simulators/storytelling games (like Firewatch) soon, so I´d be quite interested on how you approached the problem of multiple story "branches" depending on the players choices and keeping control over it.
