Thanks for giving my game another shot!

I see you struggled with the difficulty, but not much can be done about that. Personally my friends and I find Normal difficulty quite fun, while the Evil difficulty is intended to be insanely hard. As a matter of fact, I’ve never beaten the game on Evil Difficulty! The last mini-game is too much for even me, but that’s exactly why I added the ability to switch through the difficulties at any point! So that people of all skill levels can enjoy their time. I’ll still play around to see what I can do though! Maybe nerf the difficulty for the fourth time…

I do agree that the mini-game feels a little drawn out. From what I remember, the code I’ve written changes everything when you switch difficulties. Easier the difficulty is: Faster the progress bar, slower the watch and slower the red bar. I will probably tweak that to keep the mini-game speed constant; the criticism is appreciated.

And I do agree, the music gets quite annoying after a bit. That’s something I should definitely work to fix since that whole loop was written in under an hour anyway. I will work to fix these things in 1.0.3, as well as making the options clickable. 1.0.2 was hastily pushed out because the speed of the pocket-watch deterred a LOT of players engaging with the game from my experience.

Although, if you plan to make a “round 3” video, don’t bore yourself! I’d suggest waiting until 1.1 is out so that you can play some NEW content. I have cool stuff planned, this game is just not something I’m particularly focusing on right now. Maybe in about half a year. I can update you with a comment when it drops if you’d like!

Thanks for the support and feedback!

Thanks for your support! I love seeing people engage with my projects and I appreciate your compliments :D

This project was made for the GMTK game jam, which is why it’s not exactly the best. Non-clickable chat options, confusing ending, not the most in-depth lore and all that jazz. I only had 4 days to make a game after all. Even though, the game jam ended a looong time ago, I haven’t gone back to revisit this game at all, as I’ve been focused on other endeavors.

A LOT of people were complaining about the pocket-watch speed in the hypnosis mini-game, which was something I never quite understood since I beat all levels on my first try during the development process, but I guess this is exactly why beta-testing is important LOL. Your video’s made me realize why people were complaining! The pocket-watch updates to swing every frame… Instead of basing its movement on time passed, I’ve based it around FPS… I will be fixing this soon (probably on Monday). Although this is such a common and funny issue in game development that I might just make a short talking about this bug.

Again, thanks for your support and for sharing your experience! I’m over on YouTube and on Itch for the most part if you want to keep up with my future projects.

Much love and cheers!

Loved it! Reminds me of old-school flash games, really enjoyed!

Really loved the idea! Especially since I love move-based games and this was kinda move-based, but in a cool way! Good game

I loved the game! I enjoyed helping the lil guy find the key and even beat the last level with just 3 bombs.

So addicting, would play forever and ever.

Missed opportunity to make the money bananas.
Struggled for a little bit, but once I got the hang of it (no pun intended), I was addicted! Good game, my best was 77 meters!

Proud to say I didn't break my monitor!

Very cute! I loved spam clicking when I was tilted and seeing what beautiful art pieces that created.

Nice! Surprisingly fun for its simplicity

I DISAGREE WITH LowPolyMushroom.
PUT IT ALL ON BLACK!

I feel like I passed out for a good 15 minutes. This game has been an experience for sure!

I really liked the teeth brushing mechanic for story progression. Made me feel like I was there with them. Good game! Hope the MC figures life out...

Such a creative idea. I really enjoyed the narrative and how it was portrayed! The art and the fact that you go between cabins was also pretty cool, I've always wanted to go from one cabin to another on a train...

What if this whole game is a mimic...

Those cats did not stand a chance.

GET ME OUT OF THIS LOOP, SENPAI!

What an incredible idea. I loved this game and its cozy little atmosphere!

I enjoyed the game! However unfortunately, during one of the levels, the key could no longer unlock the door I was supposed to be entering. But oh well, things like this happen in a game jam.

Fun game! Would have loved to see more levels

Some people seem to blast through the hypnosis mini-game, while others struggle getting through even the early levels.
In hindsight, I think I should've made it adjust in difficulty based on the player's losses.

Thanks for the input. Next year, for sure!

Very difficult, but good game overall!

Took me a while to figure out how to beat the second level. Good game though!

I really like all the games in this jam that utilize music! Creative name and idea. Good game!

Man, these levels are so creative! A real brain-twister /pos and the robots are adorable. Good game!

Great environment and narrative! I love putting my soul on line for a 9-to-5 job. Good game!

It is essential that the bot moans in your ear every time it hits the fence.

I have become goop.

Maybe we were the monsters all along... Good game!

Emma, you haven't written a single line since we started, HOW are you passing!? Good game!

Love the artwork! I died like 100 times. Perfect!

I'll ask Chris to hook you up!

Huh, too easy! *They say with 20 shadow clones following them*

Good game! I love being a bat lady

Minesweeper AND balatoro appreciation! Good game.

I too violently shake a fish around when I get to the finish line. Good game!

Please refer to the reply I gave to another creator below about this question.

If I was the sun, I'd personally just not die. Good game! Nice art and music; otherworldly.

Bagel Boy go spinny! I like it but it's very hard to land properly :(

Love the idea! Certain parts very difficult, but good!
