I escaped somehow! Nice experience. A bit unsettling and hypnotic, especially the sound of the footsteps. Fun overall! The aesthetic style is spot‑on, very Atari.
I loved it! Pico‑8 was a great choice for this jam, the style fits perfectly. The music and the gameplay loop are really nice too — very addictive. Great job!
Lovely game! It convinced me to keep trying until I finally managed to beat it, and I think that’s a fundamental quality for a game — making you feel like you HAVE to finish it or you won’t be satisfied. Really nice!
It has kind of a retro PC vibe than a console one maybe, but it still gives off that feeling. Really nice! I’m not sure why, but when playing in the browser the arrow keys were scrolling the whole page, so it became a bit uncomfortable to play.
It really captures the feeling of the console, very nice! Also quite challenging, as it should be. Maybe the enemy bullets are a bit too dark — it’s a little hard to see them. Great job!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you liked it, and that it triggered that kind of reaction 😆.
Yes, that screen is definitely the toughest one because you’re surrounded, and I realize the aiming is kind of the game’s weak point. Since I wanted to emulate the original console’s joystick, which only had one action button, I had to use the Up key for jumping, and that ended up limiting the aiming options. Maybe there’s a better way to handle it though.
Thank you so much! I felt really bad leaving it without music and sound effects, but unfortunately I ended up with just enough time to make the bare minimum work. I wanted to do a lot more, but it was my first time trying something with such a short deadline.
Thank you so much! I do feel a bit guilty for how I handled the theme haha, but when I realized I was going to waste too much time on the character creation it was already too late to start another project. So I just waited to finish it, and by then I had very little time left to make the actual game lol
Wow, amazing! In some ways it even feels like an improved version of mine haha. I also tried making a character editor and a top‑down game, but I didn’t manage to finish it.
Wonderful. Games like this are proof that videogames can be a form of art. This one manages to give you both a pleasant sense of relaxation and an engaging challenge that mixes logic and reflexes. The music is great too.
It seems like an interesting idea, but something isn’t working — maybe it has to do with the screen size. Whatever I try, nothing seems to change and I end up losing the game every time.
Thank you so much! You’re right, in the first section it’s easy to get a bit lost without clear feedback on what’s clickable and what isn’t. After the jam I’ll release an updated version of the game with lots of technical fixes, including this one for sure. If you feel like it, maybe give it another look once the jam is over.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the drone section is a bit mean — it was the last thing I worked on, and I probably should’ve spent a bit more time tuning their reaction times, aggression, and so on. I really like your idea about variable difficulty; I’ll keep it in mind for future projects.
Too bad — you were just one step away from the ending! I hope you’ll feel like giving it another try to see how it wraps up. After the jam I’ll publish an updated version with bug fixes and some improvements based on players’ suggestions.
Thank you so much! I’m really glad to hear that the story and the humor came through. I learned a ton during this jam, discovered so many interesting games, and found a community that’s incredibly supportive. I honestly can’t wait to work on the next projects.
Wow, thank you so much for the lovely feedback! I’m really sorry you had to spam‑click — and you’re absolutely right about the hover on interactive areas. I didn’t manage to implement it, even though I wanted to improve object interaction a bit. In the end I focused on reaching the ending I had planned, even if that meant leaving some parts a little bare.
I hope you’ll feel like coming back to finish it and see how the story develops. After the jam I’ll update the game, fix some bugs, and improve the clicking/interaction flow.
Thanks! I used Polygon2D and Line2D for most of the game’s visuals, so I could rotate and scale things dynamically while keeping the line thickness consistent. I animated the player with the AnimationPlayer by modifying the rotation of each limb (I probably could’ve done it faster with bones, but I’m not very familiar with them yet).
I really loved the style of the game. I did struggle a bit with the controls and especially the passwords, but the idea is super original and the atmosphere is great.
