Thanks for playing, glad you found it interesting!

When the bug happened, you could still see the ship? Were you doing something like jumping back and forth between sides? Part of why there’s so little to play is how much I time I spent making the rotation work, I thought I got all the bugs but apparently not, sorry! I really appreciate the bug report, hopefully I can deliver a real game in the future.

Nice work! Definitely a little light on gameplay but that’s jam life but I really appreciate that snake was short.

Nice work! Bummer that gamepad controls didn’t work but I still enjoyed it.

This was great! The hit boxes were a little weird sometimes but that’s jam life. My only real complaint is no gamepad support/rebindable controls. My keyboard is split, left/right on the left side and up/down on the right side so it was really challenging. Still, I almost defeated the human and had an awesome time!

Totally fair, I think I accidentally exported it with muted audio and didn’t get to most of the effects I had planned. Maybe this will be the jam I finally update. Thanks for playing and the honest feedback!

Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you liked it!

Thanks, I really appreciate it! This jam was especially tough because I only let myself work at the computer for 10hrs (though it slipped to 12.5). I tried to plan out as much on literal pen and paper then blitz through at the end.

Totally agree, I had some audio but I think I accidentally exported it permanently muted. Right after I uploaded, and played a little, I immediately thought I should have made the ship the water meter.

Thanks for the feedback. It feels like a cool idea, and this obviously has a long way to go but I think it’s worth pushing more.

Thanks for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed the feature I wanted to get in.

This was super cute! Not sure what the issue is but my view constantly drifted down, might be the 2560x1440 monitor. One post-jam idea would be to have to actually shake the photo to develop it.

Great job! In some ways, I think it was distressing close to reality, pulling random stuff off the shelves because I didn’t have the right things in stock…

I’m not really sure what happened but it was pretty exciting! Definitely interested in what the actual intent was. I recommend mapping out what the minimum project looks like and some time estimates, then actually going through. It’s crazy how “simple things” can take a long time but also how many surprising shortcuts can be found.

Nice work, definitely nailed the classic rpg feel! Thank you for gamepad support!

Nice work! I’m terrible with keyboard controls so I didn’t get very far, I highly recommending adding gamepad support, Godot makes it trivial.

This was really entertaining! I had to go through the start a few times to get a handle on things but it’s a really fun take on the theme. Loved the voice acting and writing!

I’m really struggling to come up with anything not great about this. Music was perfect, balance was great, loved the weapon levels. This feels just a few ultra minor points away from a commercial release (being rebindable controls and probably a twin-sticks config by default for the gamepad). My only regret is I couldn’t find 1 upgrade (between the sword and the grapple, it’s in the middle of 3 of the screenshots, driving me crazy!).

I think nearly every “issue” I had, like the slow (initial) movement, gets addressed quickly enough. When upgrading the grapple, it said something about carrying much more cargo and I wonder if that as hint to something I missed or if it just meant I could fling farther. Regardless, fantastic work!

Dang, this is a game I wish I would have made. The abilities are great, combat is fluid. There were a few minor bugs, the teleport would sometimes land in a gap area (end boss) so I’d have to teleport there then toss it back onto the map to move but it’s wasn’t a big deal. The vfx were rad, as was, well, everything else. 10/10 more please. I’m confident for the next week, at least, whenever something confusing happens I’m going to imagine the dash-hit-edge spinning animation.

Nice work! Excellent atmosphere, the art and music are great. I’m into the mechanics, though wanted a lot more, especially give the size of the world; once I got double jump, I felt like I was mostly exploring. I saw a cracked tile, and of course several blocked passages so hopefully there’s some good stuff in the works.

One minor annoyance, changing levels left you vulnerable so if a rolly bug was after you when exiting, you’d be locked in to taking the hit. I also really wanted some movement while absorbing, at the very least keeping momentum while jumping.

A small bug-but-actually-this-was-cool: in the room before the end, when you leave it puts you into the save room instead. I went above, then walked back because it felt like a boss was near, was pleasantly surprised to find myself in the save room.

Yikes, I totally failed to put that one on the page, fixed now, thank you! Yeah, this was my least QA’d jam to to date, the main menu buttons, except for start, don’t work BUT the pause menu ones do which show the controls.

Working on some update for post jam last night I also realized I didn’t actually hook up the in-game text telling you the buttons! I literally had it all setup but forgot to actually call the popup.

Due to some technical hurdles, I ended up cutting half the abilities, hopefully this time I actually do a post jam update that closer resembles what I intended. I’m glad you made it through, thanks for playing and the feedback!

Nice work, really cool atmosphere and vibes! Echoing another comment, the areas, especially the first, are really big but there isn’t much reason to explore, especially since it take a while to get the sword. It was also pretty punishing on how easy it was to go straight to the boss and miss the save point. I didn’t really jive with the combat, mostly skipping all the enemies. I gave up after a few tries on the second boss, I couldn’t figure out a good strategy for him. There where a number of places where the interact prompt was really fiddly, it was always a little dance to actually activate the switches. Also, I really missed not having a shadow, I definitely am used using shadows to judge platforming but the light around the character mostly worked. Ultimately the platforming wasn’t a problem so maybe it doesn’t really matter.

Overall I think you have a solid core here, great job!

Ha, thanks, I’m gonna update the page with “this turned out mostly decent.”. Historically I struggle with jams because I’m always learning several new things and this one was no exception. I had some fancy navigation pathing ideas that I cut entirely (and the NPCs) that felt like it was 80% there but is probably only 40% there, as well as a really fancy camera system. I really love the 3/4 view but feel like there are a lot of constraints it imposes on level design so I cleverly chose to make stuff assuming I’d get the camera culling system working but instead didn’t finish the system so this is arguably the worst camera I’ve ever done, whoops!

Thanks for playging! I ended up cutting half the abilities even though I actually implemented some but didn’t have time to design any content around them (let alone test) but most of the legs abilities made it in.

Thanks for playing and the feedback. This jam really ended up about being foundational work for other things and it shows. The 4 plate puzzle was, like most things in the jam, way half baked. 3 plates control the door door locks, ex the left plate rotates the top left, top right and bottom left locks with the other plates controlling different combos and the right most resetting. All the the locks need to face away but I completely forgot to put in any visuals indicating anything! The saving grace being the alternate route in so it doesn’t impede progress.

Really awesome work! Super thankful you had gamepad and sensitivity, I had dial it down to 35 to aim reasonably well. Also super thankful for the walkthrough; since there’s no map I misremembered where a grapple section was (I didn’t know what it was at the time, but guessed due to the spikes) and probably spent 15min wandering around the wrong section. Unfortunately I had to give up during the lungs, it was maybe 15 tries to make it up the switchback platforms, I couldn’t do it on gamepad so switch to kbm. Then, the portion where you have to trigger a platform, then immediately trigger the next two then make a grapple, it was maybe 20 times before I made it to the second platform, I just can’t move jump and aim that precisely. I think the platform retracting would almost always sap my forward speed so maybe if it rose up instead, it wouldn’t have been so brutal.

Having a different effect when shooting too far away would have been good. I didn’t like the flying guys but it wasn’t always clear when I was actually damaging them (same for the smaller guys but they are easier to deal with). Possibly related, the damage boost on the gun didn’t feel different. Maybe it was, but I might have been too far a lot of time.

The whole production is great, I really like the pixel poly aesthetic. I’m always kinda nervous with grappling hooks but it worked well so no complaints. I think the levels were well designed and interesting. I recommend putting a few lights/decorations/etc around doors would have been nice to help the stand out a little more, it was easy to miss some of the openings. It was funny watching the walkthrough when I was stuck, it was around 9:30 where I saw the room I couldn’t find but I probably played for an hour at that point. Again, great work!

Nice work! I really enjoyed this, the vibe is great and I the design was good. I hit a number of bugs, the keys, stamina, and possibly more, aren’t restored on save. I got an extra stamina (at least I think that’s what it was) falling down the chimney in the house but it didn’t have an affect.

Leaving the house after entering crashed the game. I’m guessing now that this wasn’t intended but on the second floor of the house, there’s the garden view; I wall jumped out then it crashed opening the door on the far side.

The shadow enemy on the second floor on the way to the upper chimney doesn’t ever go away, I can just keep hitting it.

I couldn’t figure out how to power the two locks on the central door in the house and gave up after that.

A couple polish points, definitely wanted more feedback on hits, and at least a little motion when attacking. Probably have the doors swing in against the wall so they don’t push you weirdly as they swing open. The house entrance had a lot of z-fighting, I assume the floor and several walls accidentally got duplicated.

Again, I really enjoyed this, I got the save softlock with the first boss, so did the whole thing again, got demolished, then the whole thing again and figured out his pattern (also, some health indicator on him would be nice, though him getting clearly hit was good so I figured I’d eventually get him and I did). Would love to see this polished up!

Pretty simple but what’s there is nice. It was fun to make massive waves of bullets since they went through everything. I feel ya, I lost most of this jam to a combo of trying to do some advanced nav agent pathfinding, which I cut entirely, and figuring out how to use blender as a level editor. Hopefully they both pay of later but they certainly didn’t this time. Just gotta keep learning.

Love the art and music, there’s so much character in just that one eye! I like the idea but I also got stuck right soon after getting the triangle, you drop down but then the camera won’t follow after to dash past that first blade. It was also common to change shapes and be sent back to the checkpoint, which was really frustrating. I do think it’s just a few bugs that need fixing then you’ll have a really cool game.

I really like what I see but there are where some bugs that prevented me from getting anywhere. Loading doesn’t appear to work, or using Slot 2, it opened to a scene with no player (didn’t try slot 3). Got the mech, dropped down, but then going to the right also loaded to an room without the player so nothing could happen. It wasn’t clear hitting enemies with the mech actually did any damage, some impact sfx would have been nice. Great premise, hopefully you can get these bugs ironed out.

Nice work! I think there’s a good foundation here but I struggled with a few rough edges. Echoing some other comments, the levels are really big but not much interesting happens, especially the jetpack corridor, waiting isn’t fun. I really appreciate gamepad controls but not firing backwards was super annoying, plus having the default aim being slightly down. Bummed the slide didn’t chain with jump (it also was kind of weird, lots of travel but in a crouch too). I liked that you could hit the bosses projectiles. While the fight itself wasn’t very exciting (though I did only barely win), I did like it and can see it being improved into something really cool. I would have like more back tracking, there was some (and maybe I missed things), but it didn’t feel like there was any reason to go back to open the floor panel to the start. The plentiful pickups were nice, I was worried about the oxygen limit killing any chance for exploration but it didn’t at all.

Oh man, you even had the kill all enemies noted, ugg! I just got so wrapped up, I totally failed reading multiple times! Finally made it to the end, I really appreciate the level looping. I don’t know if it was intentional, but reloading does not spawn you at the checkpoint, but at the start, but it’s never hard to get back to where you were so it didn’t feel like an issue real issue. I think the last suggestion is to have the enemies die faster, fall away quickly. After the final upgrade with the two minibosses encircling, I took one out but since it just floated there, I think it then blocked my shots to the other one. Again, take the fact that I’ve kept messaging you as sign of how much fun I’m having and determination to see it to the end.

Ok, I had jumped down there but somehow didn’t trigger the boss the first time, or maybe got impatient, it did seem like it took a few seconds for the boss fight to start. Got much farther, hit at least one 100% real bug: getting to the islands with the pipe connecting them, one of the battles spawned a guy too far away for either of us to hit each other, even with the carbine zoomed. I also had a battle on the first island keep triggering, I think due to saving, which is a bummer. Eventually I get the grenade launcher and think I’m stuck again. Taking the double decker essentially back to the start, I took a biiiiig leap to the “O” platform that is really low with two pillars on each corner. Once down there, nothing happens.

Having skysickness definitely limits how much I can play, which made me think it would have been nice to choose to actually take the upgrade or not. Again, great job! Even with the issues it was still a blast! Now that I’ve used all the weapons, they all feel unique and well suited to different tasks. I do wish they remembered their ammo when switching, I also got some weird bugs where sometimes the particles would, for no apparent reason, spawn basically right in front of my face, but that only happened a few times.

I really enjoyed what I was able to play but I didn’t make it very far. I got the carbine, then the next island with fire rate and health upgrade but couldn’t figure out where to go after that; there was a really small platform but I couldn’t move it close to any other island than the one I jumped down from. Showing invisible walls didn’t seem to do anything and I did a lot of wiggling but obviously it’s hard for me to know what’s intentionally blocked vs buggy. Again, I really liked what I did play and would love to cleaned up version. Also would have loved gamepad controls.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this! I think we’re kindred spririts in the “over ambitious 3d world” realm. Echoing some other comments, having boost on a shoulder or regular button instead of stick press would have been good, though it was less of an issue since if you luck out like I did and do all the things right. Love the effects, it still felt pretty good to boost and drift and I felt a nice sense of control on the bike with the 3 thruster feedback.

A trick to help feel fast and make the world feel more real is to spawn particle effects, like dust, generally in a volume mostly in front of the player (vs the whole world and tank perf). I hope you keep at it, I’d love to see more!.

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I can’t believe I forgot to add controls to the main page, I guess I was so amped up with my submission barely under the wire upload I forgot (now fixed). I also didn’t realize till just now I some how messed up all the main menu buttons, whoops! If you pause in game (Esc/ Right Menu) you’ll be able to access everything correctly (also noted on the game page). Thanks again for reporting!

I’m 100% onboard. I had a few silly bugs where my head would get below my feet, and I accidentally died while riding a claw which respawned me riding the claw but nothing was a real issue since spawning was quick and painless. My only real “complaint” is seeing game I can’t play yet, please finish!

Loved (most) of the crazy side effects and cheese lore but dang, no gamepad support or rebindable keys is brutal. My keyboard has arrows on the left side and I just couldn’t get my brain to manage moving, dashing and jumping all on one hand. Eventually I got the drift side effect and it was way too hard.

Nice work! Bummed there was no gamepad support, I think it would have played really well. I played the download version but it was still really twitchy with the mouse, using IO to turn was much nicer but the controls felt, unusual. Still, made it to the end, I really appreciated the checkpointing. Combat was awesome, would love to see this expanded, maybe even with some more ambient enemies and puzzles to kick them around.

Thanks for reporting that, I’ll fix that post jam. If you have a gamepad, it should work well, that’s what I did all my testing with.
