I loved this game's atmosphere!! It reminds me of Silent Hill but in a modern/retro take, feels very new and very familiar at the same time! Am interested to discover more about this world XD
thank you for your feedback! yeah, this was very much focused on the mechanics, though I wish we had some more time to work on the art XD thank you for playing!
I loved the atmosphere on this! It has a PS1 vibe to it, which fits the theme very well. I also liked all the characters, it's impressive how you conveyed so many different personalities in the restrictions of a jam. The animations were a big plus, they were simple yet effective in showcasing different personalities!
I don't know how I feel about the minigame mechanics, they added a new layer of engagement, but after a while they got a bit repetitive. I think this type of game would benefit from some point-and-click influence - like, instead of juggling you could get items from a neighbour to be delivered to another (I would love to see the guy who can't sleep sending an angry note to the one with the lound soundbox XD). Maybe it's worth checking out the LucasArts games for this ref.
Also, I think the techniques you used have the potential to be expanded into multiple entries. You could change the environment, but also change the artstyle - I would love to see you guys turning into SNES characters with some donkey kong filters XD. Awesome game and awesome work, congrats!
thank you very much for your feedback! I agree with everything you said XD thank you for playing the game and analyzing it, it's really helpful! I hadn't heard of the game Holedown, great ref! thank you again
I know you said you struggled with the controls and wasted a bit of time, but the game is really nice and it embodies a bunch of complex ideas! very well done, congrats
I thought the mechanics of the game were simplified through the design (mainly the highlights and sfx), and that isn't easy to accomplish - especially in 48 hours. Simple yet fun, congrats!
I had difficulty aiming, as my mouse was faster than the aim movement, so my cursor would leave the screen before the movement was completed. Cool concept though!
this was like starting a survivors game on the last level XD I agree that it is pretty difficult, but I enjoyed it either way, and congrats on developing a bunch of systems in a short amount of time!
