Looks fantastic, and has the atmosphere down to a T.
Also just the right length for a jam entry. I think you can get away with not having the protagonist spell out the twist so directly, the note and the ending communicate the point pretty well already if you let them steep in it a little longer at the end there.
Very nicely polished little game. Love the juice in the card animations! Sound and artworks also look great. I maybe would have added a few more descriptive words to each card, but once you got what the cards do it was pretty intuitive to play.
Very nice idea, love the feeling of slowly creeping outward and claiming more and more resources. Wish I could get a better sense of where my network is not working optimally. I got the feeling I was bottlenecking myself somewhere, but couldn’t really figure out where ^^
Very nice concept, I also liked the idea having the mom trying to clean up the mess you caused in earlier runs. Also playing the little mini games while all hell breaks loose around you was pretty funny. Having a few more physics interactions would have spiced things up especially in later runs, but alas, that probably would have broken the timeline
It has a bit of a slow start, but the ending is really well done.
Personally, I feel like the two mechanics, accelerating with A and D, and collecting meat to be a bit at odds with each other. I like the accelerating, so I could see a version where you have to keep going fast to survive - after all, the hunger never ends, right?
The movement physics on this feel great and the level design complements them well. Very polished.
I’d maybe replace the loop and cloud graphics and go all-in on geometric/angular design, because the plane looks super slick. The integrated boost bar in particular adds a lot.
Very atmospheric. The sound design of the bugs is really effective.
Quite a few entries this year had some sort of “you play along your ghost data” type mechanic, but this one is my favourite of these thus far.
One thing i might add is a faint trail of where each of the soldiers will go. With the 3 soldiers, i kept forgetting where each one will go this time (especially if you’ve overridden the data a couple times). I think it’d also play nicely with your possession mechanic if you get to pre-inspect the level a bit with the “bodyless soul”.
Thank you for your feedback.
Fixing the difference in experience depending on one’s mouse sensitivity is definitely on our to-do list for a post-jam version.
We’ll put it into the description for now, until we can upload new builds.
This brings back childhood trauma T^T)
With a little UX work this could be a sweet experience, since the concept is really charming.
I’d maybe penalise contact with the other Sushi pieces somehow. Seems like snuggling with your rival is really OP atm.
Short and sweet. Always like seeing action games in Jams.
The Tazer Car is a cool concept and i like the lane switching mechanic, though i wish the camera would let me see ahead a bit more.
A cheeky twist on snake :p
Just the right length for a jam title. Dance fever is also a fun mechanic, though just a tad to fast with the tight corners in the last level.
If you keep working on the game, I’d love to see a Where’s Waldo component to it, where you have to recruit specific people. Just a thought.
A cool idea that - given a little more polish to the character controller and difficulty - could make for a fun couple hours of game.
The model of the fly looks great btw.
Extremely stylish and well scoped little experience.
Could totally see this as a bigger game, with chaotic synergies between the different tapes.
Also 5/5 world building. Coffee goblin is literally me frfr <3
We try to aim for a little less than 5 minutes of gameplay to make sure everyone makes it to one full play-through.
Running the game with some friends of varying "gamer ranks" a day before deadline helps a ton to get a feel for what is unclear and whether people will finish the playthrough in time. (On that note, I appreciate that your game provided in-game tutorials that present one piece of info at a time)
There is an insane amount of content here - almost a little too much for a jam experience, where people look through hundreds of games. Perhaps shortening the cycle to just "worm>frog>bird" and focussing more on the mechanics of each one would improve the overall experience by making a playthrough feel a bit more rounded - pun intended. What's here looks solid, if a little bare bones.
I do enjoy the visuals and the fact there is variety in styles. Especially the worm level looks sleek with the tunnels cutting through the level.
Awesome atmosphere. The blinking lights in the background look great.
It took me a while though to see the board explaining what the colors do, but with a little more tutorial and extra UI i think it has a lot of potential.
Pretty hypnotizing experience. Could be cool with just a little more feedback back on whether or not you're close to finding the tile and some other color schemes for the different levels
The controls are a bit fiddly, but with some tweaks this really has potential. (I feel like it should be a little easier to get into a stable orbit. The planets don't really pull you that much towards them)
We looked into this a bit more and it looks like this might be an issue with integrated graphics card (which are very common in Laptops).
If you're playing on a Laptop, try looking for a "GPU Switch/Hybrid Mode" setting in your System Options (in our case it was MSI Center) and set the graphics mode to "Discrete". This will force the laptop to use the main GPU.
