Haha thanks!! We did throw around a few ideas for expansions during the jam - maybe when the rating period's over we'll come back to them ;)

Thank you!

Haha thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

The t-rex game was a point of inspiration lol. Later on we tossed around some ideas for expanding the game, but ultimately we only had the time to make the base game. But who knows, maybe once the rating period is over we'll come back to them! Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you! Yeah, we went back and forth on balancing how fast the player goes, and ended up going on the easier side. As the bear speeds up (which is what the camera is fixed on) it should become more difficult, but if you figure out the mechanics you can manage how fast the bear goes pretty easily lol. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you!!

Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it regardless of the resolution issues!

I really like the graphics in this game, they're simple but they have a really distinct vibe! I especially like the background, that was a really cool touch. Also the camera shifting along that long straight path? Super cool! Kind of unsettling. Am I the only one who tried to jump off the end into the abyss? Unfortunately it does get a little tedious after a while, just running back and forth on this small level. I would've liked to see more!

The whole screen isn't supposed to be visible, as long as you're able to move around the screen by dragging your mouse near the edges of the window it should be playable! Did any text pop up at all? If you right-click on the "Welcome to Portallusca" text box it will initiate a tutorial. If that didn't happen I'll note that down as a bug and see what we can do about it.

This is a neat game! I have to say I don't really like the way the ball slows whenever you switch gravity, it makes feels a little clunky and makes it less satisfying to dodge obstacles. Otherwise, I liked it, though! The graphics are really neat - I liked the colors and the starting transition!

Cute game! I found the slimes very charming and I liked being able to interact with the orange one in the menu, it's a fun little touch. Overall I just like the art style. Simplistic but has a lot of character! Unfortunately the text in the menu doesn't seem to be displaying properly, there are a lot of seemingly random characters missing, and they change every time you go back to the menu. The controls are simple enough that the game is still playable without it, though!

I really like this game!! It's super fun and the graphics are very charming! The premise is super funny too, my brother walked up behind me as I was playing and now he won't stop saying "[animal] see [animal] kill" hahaha.

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback! Was there no tutorial for you or was it just not clear enough? Is there something in particular you didn’t like about the gameplay?

I like the gameplay concept, it's a really fun way to take the limitation! It was kinda fun to just play around with the enemies and lead them around. Surprisingly hard, too!

This was a pretty fun game! It was simple but fairly unique and interesting. Unfortunately in endless mode after I'd saved 45 eggs and cracked about 70 (oof) - not sure exactly what time that was - I stopped being able to pick up parachutes for some reason?

I like this interpretation of the limitation, the controls are very intriguing! I think it'd be fun to spend a long time just puzzling through the movements and figuring out how they work, because they're so unusual your instincts are always wrong haha. However I think because the controls aren't very intuitive it would be very helpful to have easier level design at the very start, as the window for error is so small at the start it makes it hard to experiment and learn.

I really enjoyed this game! It is just genuinely very fun to play! I found the graphics charming and the level design clever - and the ragdoll physics where naturally hilarious. It's fun to smack head-first into buttons. I like the intersection between brute force and clever design.

This is an interesting game, I like the gameplay concept! I found it difficult to juggle flipping gravity and jumping, it's hard to know when either option would be better than the other - though that does feel like something you'd get a feel for if you spent more time playing (and had faster reactions than me haha).

No worries! I wasn't trying to correct you, I just find it kind of amusing lol. I'm glad it resonates with people!

Ironically none of us are women (anymore) lol. I hope you enjoyed it, though! And I hope you never let anyone pull the metaphorical rusty shears on you

Lol, why thank you!

Thank you for playing our game! I'm glad you had fun

Thank you! I'm glad you liked them!

Thank you!

I enjoyed this game! The character design is really good and I like the mechanic. I feel like the text boxes could stand out more visually? With all the rest of the game looking so good, they're a bit hard to see. I didn't actually notice them the first time they popped up lol, I thought a word would appear in the dialogue box. I could see how that would be difficult though, especially during a jam.

I really liked this game! The writing is pretty good, and the character designs are amazing (I love the dm lol)! Sorron looks really fun to draw. The end screen goes away too fast to see it very well, which is a shame because it looks really cute!

This was a super nice little game! The custom assets are really cute, and the title/lose/win screen is pretty impressive. Hoods are hard enough to draw with full resolution lol. My major point of critique is that because I'm playing with a trackpad, the spell controls don't work for me! In trying to beat the game without them I discovered that you can just run around the enemies and still eventually win. Still enjoyed it though :]

I love the fish sprites! The colors are nice and the style is really unique.

Very charming little game! I liked the visuals a lot. I struggled to get very far, though. A lot of the tutorial text is off-screen, so I couldn't see all of it before I needed it, and had to try and figure everything out myself. 

Very cute game, I enjoyed it! The sound effects are really nice, as well as the art. I especially like the animation of the player character. I do feel the game mechanics are very unforgiving, but I suppose that's not necessarily a flaw.

That's fair! It was a very nice ending, I liked it regardless of the limitation

Oh, replaying the game I realized I just misinterpreted the first few lines about the radio! It actually does start at the correct time.

Ah, I totally understand that! Solo game jams are super hard and I have no clue how anybody can do them haha.

The sound design of this was pretty good! I did notice the radio seemed to come on later than it should've though, and it would've been nice to have some background music to set the tone. I'm not a huge fan of visual novels but I must admit it was kind of fun ruining this guy's life and finding all the endings. I liked the visuals too, the composition of all the shots was really good! I will say though, that the use of limitation was kind of a streach.

I'm so glad you liked my writing!! I've written a lot before, but I've never make a finished project with any of it so it means a lot to me that you enjoyed it. To answer your questions:

1. Yes! The story isn't actually finished because we didn't have the time, but the idea is that you're meant to piece together the story as you play.
2. This kind of has the same answer as the last question - you'll find out if you play the finished version :)
3. You're right about the decay, but there's no other ending. Even the final game will only have one ending. I mean, they're already dead and you can't change the past, huh?

Thank you!! I'm glad you liked it!

Of course, I hope it was helpful! I replayed the game and I think it's much better! I think the little puzzles to get through the place are pretty fun. I'm glad to hear you're still working on the game.

This was a very cute little game, I found it pretty fun! I love the animation of Black Hole #38 at the start, it's got a whole lot of character for being so simple! The use of limitation kind of got lost with the twist at the end, though.

I really liked this game! I actually found it really scary - probably in part by the wacky effects. They're very disorienting and it's nerve-wracking when the Imsomed look larger in your perifery than when you look at them straight-on (those are both positive things haha). I love how big the Isomed are compared to the player, it just makes them terrifying when they get close to you. My only critique is that it's hard to know when you're going to run out of gasoline, and the Isomed move really fast in the dark, so when you run out of gasoline, even if you have more in your hand you're pretty much screwed. I think the best way to fix this would be to add some indicator that the gas is running low, such as the light getting dimmer.
