Really love how good the models are, I almost thought they were from an asset pack. It's also a fun little idea that works well for the 3 rounds it has. Very good!
Haven't done all the content yet, but wanted to leave a content so I don't forget. As usual, I am impressed at your speed for jams. Can't think of any real problems other than it was kinda hard to plan my routes in the ingredient gathering sections which led to a lot of wasted time. Maybe a zoom out or camera mover would help.
All the art is great and perfectly fits the mood being set. I am a big appreciator of horror content, and while this game isn't horrific, it had the vibes for what it was doing. This is probably a weird compliment, but the music you found for the game was also nice. Overall a really well made and well thought out game. Definitely gonna hop back in and try and get all the endings once the full post-jam update is out.
I have a lot of later content already mapped out, but am taking a break to work on my skills. When I return to it, I want to be able to add some art. I also really enjoyed working on this and would hate to leave it unfinished. I'm glad you liked it as well :)
Some really good characters in this game. Ellie is a treat to interact with and all the additional characters are nice too (When is MoneyBoy side romance story???). The events did repeat very often, even at halfway through the game it seemed to be lacking in new events. Also I did too good on the shooting section, got 500 dollars, and all remaining worries of money disappeared.
In terms of the assets, everything is wonderful. All art is pretty and lends itself to a distinct style that's done well. The music is good as well. I saw that it was made for the jam and not from a pack and that actually surprised me because of how good it was. As others have said, it'd be nice if the stats had more weight or affected things more, but the game was still nice. Good job!
This game is dripping with your style through and through. Really enjoyed it.
I kinda did just walk around till I got a good enough hint. It was hard to know how to effectively use the book, but it did come in handy a little bit.
Once the rest of the game is finished I'm definitely coming back to it. I liked the gameplay premise and all the art is wonderful! P.S. The green screen was 100 percent worth it :)
Short, but incredibly polished! Only "flaw" of the game is that it isn't too balanced, with some moves being super powerful and other being near-useless. But that also kinda fits the super hero theming with heroes pulling some new BS move to win every battle, so it didn't bother me much.
I kinda love Nova tbh, when does the action figure come out? With real squishable action! All the designs and sound design are delightful and it goes without saying that the varied animations are great. I am greatly looking forward to the finished version!
Played up until the glitched area with the beach. Probably doesn't need to be said, but I think most wall had no collision and just let the player walk through anything. But I never found any game breaking issues with this.
I was surprised with how much story there actually was, I can see how you didn't have time for testing everything. All the writing was really nice, and I like how the game seems to encourage failing to increase growth. Most games don't get the "lose to get more scenes" thing right but it works well here. Unless I misunderstood and was playing the game wrong :) Looking forward to the final version once upload restrictions are lifted.
Seems like a fun idea, but yeah it was a little short. I think with a little background music and a little more length it'd be really nice. Everything that was there was quality, and the renders were good!
You mentioned in your comment how doing everything took too much time and was a struggle. Yes, yes it is, lol. I do hope it didn't deter you from future development, because what you said about learning it definitely true. Every frustration can lead to learning, and hopefully you can take what you've learned and expand on it with an update or future project.
Good premise for the theme, the goddess seems really cute! It says it was submitted only 1 minute before the deadline for the jam, cutting it a little close eh? Either way, it was nice, hope you get to flesh it out more and bring it to a finished state.
This game is one that I am greatly looking forward to after the jam. The art was nice and the premise is definitely one of my faves. I also like the scavenger hunt gameplay, it's a neat use of the theme. Once the bugs are fixed and the rest of the features added, I'm definitely coming back to this one.
At first I thought the game was too floaty, but I got used to it and it ended up being pretty fun. Had a few hard parts where if you let someone off at floor 5, then your weight goes down and you need to worry about slamming into the ceiling. Tough, but it seemed fair as I had no BS deaths once I figured things out. Also, I believe the volume slider isn't converted to log 10, or something along those lines. It didn't make things quieter, but it made them MUCH louder.
Of course, all the art is wonderful. I love all the little chibi art as well, no part of the game looked bad. Story was funny and fit the theme perfectly. I'd ask what you plan to add post-jam, but I already think the game is very good at what it's trying to do and can't think of much I'd want added. It was fun, was a nice challenge, and had a cute girl inflating. A+!
Fun idea that's actually implemented well. As others have said (many times) the camera caused some issues. The game should either have a standard first-person controller with a locked mouse, or it should lock the camera straight ahead and leave the mouse free. Either would work. Only other large note is that I wish the assembly area wasn't so far to the right, having everything shifted more center would have been a bit nicer.
Despite the issues, I enjoyed the art and would love to see this more fleshed out.
Reached the end of the content. The idea of keeping all bars good is ok, but works better with quick turn. Removing the walk time in the eating scenes would probably help speed things up. I had similar bugs as others. Theater would lock me into the dialogue, saying no to buying citadel inn room sent me back to area 1, etc. I also had a bug where when I interacted with the citadel gate 1 spot to the right of the center, it locked me into an animation and I had to restart.
Game definitely seemed to suffer from too many features which slowed dev time. I hope you had fun making it though, the characters were cute and I liked where the story was heading.
Incredibly fun! Only thing I was confused about was the meter in the bottom left. It didn't seem like it did anything and I couldn't make it run out when I tried. Got to around 18k I think, and it was fun managing the ships to be efficient while trying to keep satisfaction up (even if it did nothing, lol). Writing was also very nice and helped set the world. Overall, really enjoyed my time with this.
I highly appreciate that you were fully honest in the review. All the points you made about the things that need to be improved are accurate, and I'm glad there were no bugs!
It's good to know that despite these problems the game was still entertaining, even if you had to find alternative ways to win, lol. We will definitely be using this feedback in an update, thank you again for the in-depth review
P.S.: Incase you were worried, all the English in the post is perfect. No misspellings or strange phrases at all :)
Would love to this this fully fleshed out. The character is cute and the minigames were good for the jam time frame. Only issue I had was the Find the Button game. Maybe I'm blind, but it seemed the button was only there a third of the time and I just had to lose. Besides that, cute game!
I've always loved your jam entries and this one is no different. Concept and ending are hilarious as usual! Kinda weird to control but it feels mostly by design. Really fun gameplay too! I loved it!
Doesn't use the theme too much but that's ok. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but based on your profile this seems like one of your first projects. If so, this is not bad! There were no bugs and I appreciate the use of royalty free assets as you didn't have an artist helping you. Thank you for making this and I hope you had a good time!
Very pleasant game. Characters were definitely more unique than others and the art was good! I would say to change from Nintendo music in a future update, Nintendo is not very nice with their stuff. Only issue I found was when I was using the mirror (I believe at the 3rd size) the darkened background wouldn't go away until my next size-up and it made the whole game darker. Other than that, fun game!
Absolutely superb! The gameplay was involved enough to sell the experience and lets everything else make the game shine. The writing was practically perfect and all the art was cute, especially the ending. I was also in love with the music, it fit the game very well. Surprised this was a jam game with how well it turned out!
Sometimes when trying to move vertically then horizontally, the character will snap to a spot and just not move at all. It's ok if there is no diagonal movement, but the snapping was causing a few problems. If it's not doable in the engine then that's fine, the game worked with it. But if it is doable, I think fixing it would make the game feel better.
Very well made game. The shooting had some latency, but double clicking solved the issue. Very good concept and interesting use of the theme. The art was also very nice and fit the story nicely. Thank you for making this!
Incredibly polished game. Only issue was the timer freezing during the hype rush, but it never caused any real issues. And of course, the art is adorable :)
Played till the model broke and then played a bit after that, lol. Pretty fun game and a good use of the theme. I agree with others that the randomness can sometime be a tad unfair, but I think that's part of the fun. Had to really think it over before accepting a competition. Adding the overfull explanation like I've seen mentioned on other comments would be a great idea. Good game :)
Pretty fun once you get into it. I couldn't beat the final level, but all the concepts were fun. With slightly smoother movement, this game would be really fun to play, especially with the harder difficulty
Agree with others that the game is cute. Good animation on the character and the story was pleasant! Gameplay was simple, but the only big change I'd make is it would be fun to have a cutscene on game over. Very nice :)
There are actually 2 full versions for each set! There is one final, slightly fuller version that should still be locked. Also, thanks for the feedback! Definitely seems we need to fiddle with the difficulty a bit.
The last level did turn out a tad more brutal than expected, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hoping to touch a few things up post-jam, so we'll look at the timers and see if we can tweak them to be more engaging
Wanted to make a post and ask about the status of the jam with the Itch changes. Currently, NSFW games are de-listed, but people think it's quickly going to lead to a complete ban on NSFW.
Is the jam going to continue normally, or is it going to be hosted from somewhere else? I know itch is the best for jams with all the quality of life features, but it's not the most secure at the moment.
I copy-pasted this jam link to some friends on Discord, and the little blurb in the embedded link said that the jam was running until the 31st. It looked auto created, so I don't know if it's fixable, but I just wanted to let you know that it showed the wrong date
Very fun game! Glad to see the full release and see so many new faces in the Bistro. Did have a bug where I grabbed the food too fast and couldn't set it down at the customers table. It locked me from doing anything else, so I lost the run. Even though that happened, I found the game really fun and enjoyed the challenge!
Hello, I'm Muck! While I originally planned on doing this jam solo, I don't want to ruin the chance to work with cool people!
My program of choice is Unity. Most hobby work I've done is in that. Because of that, I have decentish programming skills and a knowledge of general game-engine use that I can apply to Unreal or Godot if necessary. I can 3d model in Blender, but mostly just objects and textures. I could maybe pull a 3d character model out of my ass if I had a reference, but it's spotty.
Other miscellaneous skills: Novice at Krita, Novice at 2d Art, Novice at Twine, Novice at FLStudio, Decent at writing, Decent at VR Development(in Unity, but it's been a bit)
If you would like to cooperate on a game, or even just need some advice or some small help, please reach out to me!
