itch.io

Put this in my budget game gem series.

made a vid!

this was really cool man

i feel toasted

pretty awesome!

looking forward to more!

i liked it

and then i put it in my video

first in a set of 999 i want to do

It seems to be working now!

I had trouble downloading this through the itch-app. Might need to label the OS on the download or something.

The grind is real man. Having a day job seems like a vital part of our essential tool-set. And then you gotta balance all the socials on top! I think the spreading yourself thin thing is definitely important. Lately I've been keeping a spreadsheet for all these piling on things. Two weeks in, seems to actually be pretty helpful. I wish you luck with the job hunt!

The art is absolutely gorgeous. Looking forward to this.

ooo

it's possible you can prescale them in an art program too

this looks pretty fun

I'm gonna try it out soon.

The pixels look blurry in the screenshots though, try using nearest neighbor to scale!

It's always cool to see stuff made from someone outside of programming.

I'm lookin forward to see what the colors gon do!

The music will be better, I promise! The current incarnations are extremely rough sketches!

I started playing, and I couldn't stop.

there's a bug in the first zone, if you go all the way to the right of the exit portal, you'll go through to the back of the island

i did an actual speedyrun!

I beat it!

is there a way to save? it's a bit lengthy for 1 game session for me

I started a letsplay of this. Fantastic game. I think I might be stumped at the moment.

if yall like it, i'll keep doin it!

if u have any feedback, das cool too!

i really dig the style, hope to see more of this artwork.

very cool so far.

excited to see what kind of cool combos and stuff we can do later on

i've been trying to get better so i can upload a more interesting video, but man i suck D:

i like the atmosphere and the gameplay. i think there could be a lot done with this.

I beat it!! awesome game. love the gameplay. love the art. love the sfx and music.

thank you!! i spent a lot of time getting my vocal chain to best capture that part of my speech

Yooooooo, dis is a blast to play! I love how speedy and snappy things are.

This game is soooo goooood. An absolute gem. Please, i need moarrrrr!!

are there any lifesteal powerups in this game?

ima beat dis soon! (maybe)

i dig it so far

Hey guys, I've been working on a 3 song debut ep for my musician persona (akabaka) for a while.. There's still a long way to go, but I thought this could be a neat place to post my progress and sound experiments. I don't want to reveal too much, since I feel like there's a kind of pleasant surprise in hearing a new and fresh ep, but.. yeah idunno.
The music is a strange kind of ost for a graphic novel project, but I'll give more info on that later.

Here are a couple sound experiments I've done (I apologize for the difference in levels loudness, I usually don't fix that until much later in the process):

I'm currently trying to make a more action-heist-raiding kind of song. If anyone has any good songs that could fit that vibe (regardless of genre) please let me know!

thia is such an excellent update!

A better game than I've ever made

Not at all! Hmm.. It's possible I wasn't clear enough in the jam rules, but this jam is supposed to continue on until September 9th.
A new submission portal will open and we can compare these entries with their more finished forms!

Edit: I've now changed the jam format to be a little more refined. Check out the jam page to see!

Hey, this game sounds really cool, but you've put up a jar file here!

That makes it really hard to play.

Maybe you could package it up with http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/install4j/overview.html ?

(Disclaimer: I haven't actually used it before, but that's what a quick google search popped up)

It does sound very interesting though, and I'd like to give it a shot!

Hey this is really coool! I like that you can only shoot the bear when it's awake, it makes it just a little bit more spooky. OOOoooOoo~

You should keep working on it. It's cool! Maybe it could work well with more puzzly bits. Since you can't jump back up once you fall down a ladder, maybe you can do something with that, where you have to make sure to go down the right ladders, idunno. Just an idea!
