btw, if you're going to keep working on this, a good quality-of-life feature would be to allow the player to just click on an end node to start drawing a new line, rather than having to hold the mouse button down.
As a geography student who loves cartography, I can't wait to try this out 😁Also, love how perfectly this fits the theme. You have to make your map to scale to succeed. Just great.
Re. controls, maybe it'd be easier if you used arrow keys + WASD (and I guess Q and E), since that's a combination people will be more used to?Great job either way, and I'm sure that if I keep playing it, the controls will be a breeze anyway.
edit, nvm, played it again and controls are fine, you just have to play it enough
Genius. This is one of those ideas that's so clever you think to yourself "why hasn't anyone thought of this before?". Presentation was really good, too.
REALLY good! Love the idea, love the play on the theme (though not sure if it fits the theme 100%), love the presentation. I'll come back to this! Oh, and greatly appreciate that you started out with a credits screen.
Only complaint I have is that the limited battery doesn't really fit Freddy in my opinion. I'd reserve that limitation for the guard and come up with some other limitation for Freddy, whatever that limitation would be.
It's more Dr. Langeskov, the Tiger, and the Terribly Cursed Emerald, a Whirlwind Heist than Beginnner's Guide to me, but I get what you're saying (if you haven't played the former, you're in for a treat. Same dev).
Before even playing the game, can I just say that "Mystical Pigeons" is an ingenious name for a game dev team? Oh, and congrats on having Mark stream your game!
This legend (team of legends?) actually made a whole slew of fully functional games for the game jam and then made an additional meta game out of playing them all, and they had a great idea on top of it all. Best of all, it's so relatable. Top marks well deserved.
Big fun and a clever idea. Good writing, too, love how the pet-craving pooch is made out to be a scheming villain (also I never stopped laughing at the screen with the defeated dog next to a bottle whenever I didnt' get enough pets).
Nice idea, reminded me of Two-Timin' Turrets from an earlier game jam. Even had at least one references to nutty conspiracy theories from way back when. Really fun to play, too. If you're going to build on this, maybe make the turrets attack the player, too?
Great idea for a game, also makes me sympathize with cats. Can't be easy for them to get their humans to do what they want them to at the best of times.
I was really impressed with the puzzle, too, I know puzzles can be really hard to make, so congrats on pulling it off. Even if they had to add a couple gamey elements like locked clips and a clip that moved by itself. They just made the puzzle more fun.
Such a clever idea for a game, and such a well-crafted puzzle to boot, incredibly satisfying when I figured it out. And let's be honest, they were asking for games like this when they made the theme what it was ;) . Again, great job!
Thinking about this, you could make a pretty cool and funny 'Reverse Stanley Parable' with this. The main character has a degree of free will and does what they want, and you are the narrator trying to narrate and make sense of it all even when they throw you curve balls and do something else than what you say in your narration.
Good idea, nice execution. Really liked the idea for this one, would love to play a fully realized game based on this idea. Could get really humourous. Great job!
