thank you very much! I’m really happy you liked it!

that means so much to hear! I’m really really glad you liked it that much! The idea of developing it further is definitely on my radar :)

Thank you so much for the kind words and especially for the feedback! We definitely planned to add more stuff like parts, but in classic game jam fashion, we didn’t have the time to. Very big shout out to the (incredibly talented) artist and composer (whose links can be found on the game page), as without them, the game’s visuals and sounds wouldn’t be nearly as commendable

Really Really REALLY good game, I enjoyed myself thoroughly while playing it. Unique interpretation of the theme, where the people are invincible so you can throw them around willy-nilly. Super awesome artstyle as well as sound effects and music. Really well done, really well-polished, and I agree with that other comment I saw that said it felt like nothing was missing or had to be cut out, it just felt like a complete game and that is a great achievement for a gamejam!!!

INSANELY well polished and cool game for a game jam, this is genuinely so awesome. First off, loved the concept for the gameplay of choosing what special effects you want by feeding the demon guy some combination of body parts, I thought that was creative. I enjoyed it very much, and it runs very well on my crappy old Chromebook. The art is AMAZING, props to the artist, give 'em a high five for me. And It fits the theme very well, love the little small-print when you get a game over. I feel very confident in my 5-Stars across the board rating. I haven't played many of the games yet but I wouldn't be surprised if this one won, it's just so well polished! GOOD JOB TO THE WHOLE TEAM!!!

Love the game. The artstyle is very VERY charming and I loved the part after you die where you get to see all the enemies you killed die in order to tally up the deaths, that was very cool. Unfortunately I can't try it out too much because my crappy Chromebook lags like 3 minutes into the game, but genuinely really fun :) Good job!!!

thanks so much for playing! I’m glad you liked it! The idea of enemies fighting each other was definitely something I had in mind, just didn’t have enough time to implement it, unfortunately.

Omigosh thank you so much. Shout out to the artist and composer, both of which you can find  in the description of the game. They were genuinely so amazing to work with and so incredibly talented

Thank you! I would have done an endless mode if I had time but it was really down to the wire. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

good

The son totally catches the bottles! just… with his face and body

Thank you!

thank you so much! I worked hard to make that tv bang as satisfying and responsive as possible so I’m glad it paid off!

Thank you so much! I’ll be honest I was scrambling at the last second and didn’t have too much time to properly playtest it, so I’m really glad it was engaging!

I am incredibly happy that you enjoyed the game, and do not fret, I am already in the progress of making more levels and content and gimmicks for the full release of the game! 

As for that glitch where you can jump at the same time the platform launches you, I am intimately familiar with it, as many people have had that issue. So I am planning on fixing while I work on new levels!

Thank you for playing!

I’m sorry to hear you couldn’t get past level 3. I’ve heard of many problems that arise from that one part, and I’m definitely gonna change it up as I continue to work on the game!

I really like the game! The gameplay loop is really fun! Keep up the good work

That you and everyone else has enjoyed it so much makes me feel so awesome. I’m very glad that you enjoyed it.

And I’m glad my simplicity and small scope helped me make a very well polished game that you can call your favorite of the Game Jam! Thank you so much for the feedback, and seriously, the fact that you claim this is your favorite game means so much to me, it makes me feel like it’s all worth it.

And when it comes to your game development, keep on working hard and having fun! I remember when I was only a few weeks into game development, and you can always get better!

The pixel art and characters are SO CUUUUUUUUTE! The story is as well! I loved the game! The gameplay was such a nice balance of fun and difficult and funny, and while I've had trouble understanding the controls for other games in the game jam, the simple minigames were introduced in a way that made it easy to understand exactly what to do with them. And the music is so nice as well!

The game is just so well polished, and I would not be surprised if this was one of the top games chosen by the judges! Loved the ending too :) SO CUTE

The stylized graphics are awesome! Although it looks simple, the designs are really cute, and the gameplay, while simple as well, is still quite fun! I loved the enemies having different colors, and that final boss was a really cool surprise, as I thought it was just gonna be an infinite dungeon crawler! Very cool!

Loved the game, very cool concept, i couldn't make it very far lol. Having new ingredients to serve every night and adding them to the pot is a really cool mechanic!

Your kind words mean the world to me, I’m so happy you enjoyed it so much.

And I am unfortunately well acquainted with the super jumping glitch, as many people have found it lol. I’m working on patching that one out!

If anyone wants to watch the Devlog I made about my process of making this game, you can check it out here: Palingenesis Devlog

Thanks a lot! And I already am continuing to build on this game, since a lot of people seem to enjoy it, and I'm learning a lot from it as well!

you have no idea how much those compliments mean to me, thank you very much for the kind words! I’m glad the gold platforms gave you that “aha moment” that’s exactly what I was hoping for!

really amazing game. would not be surprised if it won the game ja

thank you so much! I was really worried the music wouldn’t sound good since I haven’t really composed any music before, but I’m glad my worries were unfounded!

Thank you so much for the nice compliments! I’m hoping to get more levels done by tomorrow evening before submissions close :)

i too fw this game heavy

Thank you so much for the kind words! I previously realized that the problem with dying while descending on a gold platform existed, and am trying to fix that before the jam ends :)
