This was a quick, fun little experiment from when I barely knew how to put a game together. It was a great learning experience and I appreciate you checking it out!
Great story. Very real, and very raw... but by the end of it, it feels like everything is going to be okay! Even though my own life experiences don't match those of the characters, I found them to be relatable and compelling, and I was still able to find bits and pieces of my own experiences within them.
As for the gameplay, I very much appreciate a game that isn't afraid to let itself breathe a bit. Some may not enjoy it, but I find a genuine level of tension in getting lost in these dark hallways while your health slowly drips away. It's also quite rewarding to commit areas to memory and be able to get further and further each day.
Great game! The art and sound are absolutely top-notch, and I found the evolution mechanic to be quite engaging. It was interesting to see an area and its layout, and anticipate how the next upgrade would play. Some of the jumps were a little tight, but quite doable. Absolutely fantastic work!
Thank you for checking the game out! I'll keep that feedback in mind. I haven't really played around with adding effects like that before, so I'm sure I could stand to learn a lot from trying it out!
We were, at one point, thinking about doing an "Exploration Mode" where you'd be able to go about the level at your own pace, without time limit... but a lot of concessions had to be made to meet the deadline, unfortunately. It's definitely something we are considering if we spruce up the game a bit more after the jam is all wrapped! Thank you for checking out the game!
Pretty fun! Fun stuff, and the boss fight at the end was a fun shake-up, if a little bit too exploitable with safe spots. Otherwise, quite a great game!
I really liked this game! Cool aesthetic, and satisfying gameplay. Hard mode felt like it was tuned just right, with good word variety, too! Really cool game!
