Great concept well executed! I'm past my precision platformer phase of my life, so done just a couple of levels. Really appreciate the progression with failures to see more of the game. Because everything is so tiny as it shrinks the spikes were suuuper tiny and just overly hard to navigate around. Music got annoying real quick with all the resets and pitching. It created un-ease, which added to the difficulty - might be what you wanted or not, I had to turn it off to progress.
Nice! Thanks so much for playing through 😭 Wish the game had more content to be a better pay off at the end. I'm working on post jam patch with tons more nodes and quality of life improvements.
The mobile-game approach to choosing difficulty and how to play a game is a big boost to a jam game, thanks for that. There's a good amount of overlap in the core design of our submissions - idler with exploration/skill tree being treated as a map. You just executed on it with so much better simplicity! The narrative of why am I doing pays off a little bit at the end, but could have used some foreshadowing. Spooky music was a surprise choice for a menu then going into a western theme.
The most impressive thing about this is that you are all like 20yo. Great art, music and overall package; as evidenced by the high number of ratings. The running around fixing stuff through mini games started feeling quickly like a mobile game without a lot of value = purpose = meaning to continue to play.
Really vibey. Almost feels like a nitpick that the characters, carts and stuff like that don't seem to match the cutscenes and overall vibe. Them pixels are too cute next to the act progression, music and "Perished" screen.
Title screen rizz. It's voice acted what is going on, this is a jam, Sirs. Love that you go all out with that too. Good set of varied puzzles, pressured by a time limit that doesn't feel artificial (unlike Janet who is still talking...). Saying controls for each of the levels, allowing me to skip levels are all very appreciated in a jam game too!
Love the 16bit graphics and animation, been a while since I've seen those. Good feel on collecting and matching the clock with the actions of the player. I felt you stole my last couple seconds by putting me out of the field to collect things. The boss came out of nowhere I thought I'll go back to the shopping. So I jumped into the bullets, because I was doing no damage expecting to get a continued run to improve my build, but instead went to main menu to start a new game. On my second run it felt much better. Missed probably 50% of all harvests because as the animation zooms in and the meter is running at the same time I clicked too early (or I'm just getting too old).
Nice little sokoban game. Good package where everything fits together. The theme obviously made me think of Spongebob plankton. It wasn't clear to me from Level 3 that the popping give me more air so i struggled in level 4 - little animation of the bubbles, music chime, green effect on bubbles UI would have helped. Alas once I knew it wasn't a problem, so maybe just a tut message. Level 5 and so on were great balance and varied. Really would have liked an undo button. also came out before The Order of the Sinking Star so you the superior Sokoban
Thanks for trying it out! To make friends take the time connect it to qualifier and then to people. Because Quality Time makes Friends. :) There are ideas in there I'm happy with, but 100% poorly implemented to be clear to the player.
Played on stream here. Enjoyed the smoothness of the raw graphics, wish it had sound! Feel ya on the 36h stretch to get a new game done, went through the same thing.
Love the mix of Master Chef cooking show during a zombie apocalypse, can see a bunch of concepts stemming from there. Played on stream towards the end of second half here:
Thanks for playing our game earlier. Love the art in yours, and done a bunch of QWOP-controlled-likes myself so this was fun. As others mentioned could not figured out the stuffing - all on video:
Thanks for stopping by the stream! Sorry didn't have all the patience for the shooting game to see through the hole gameplay. I'd recommend recording a full playthrough and posting on youtube, I do that as part of the release with every single game :)
Thanks for playing and trying so hard to get everything set up. BUT SPOILER alert: there is just about 10 nodes to connect right now! Jam games, am I right :) Better scope next time.
Thanks for playing. The music is the best part, sad to hear (ha!) it didn't work for you. I think when you hit Reset Save that's when it happens. As for goal, yeeeah just didn't make it in time.
Such a clever take on the theme I haven't seen anyone else do (obviously i have gone through the 10,000 submissions). Platformers are not my thing, but the beginning and framing and the art was a highlight. Played on stream, see towards the second half.
Played on the stream today. It was really hard to figure out the controls. Loved the "The Stunts" 90s look but fresh. I have to try this retro-new painterly style of character's with 3D.
