ur welcome <3

Hi! I had planned a settings menu but cut it bc not enough time D: I hope to update this with that after the judging period is done though! <3

Thanks for the kindnesses :-)

Style 1000%... but i rly dont like Alien!!! yucky >.<

The animations are CRAZY good !!!! And it's a fun concept, although it's a little jarring that it just quietly starts over when you die. It feels like an old flash game to me, especially with the squelchy splash sound effect in the screen transitions!

SUPER cute game, I really like how they flail their bodies in the direction theyre singing <3

Alien Co-op Games for This Jam 🤝

Criticism though! If you overlap your keypresses, they keep singing the old note. 

probably not nah, it's only a doodle :) but thanks for the kindness <3

You weren't doing anything wrong or missing anything! It's just a rough sketch :)

I'm probably going to leave this version here, but I might reimplement it in an actual game later. I've done that a couple of times haha..

unfortunately I couldn't figure out a way to make it work as an actual game 😅 I'll probably just take what I learned forwards to other projects instead :)

ya lol

Tuvo you are just so wise

This is really good! I really like how ominous the fog is, and the cool shader crunchiness you get sometimes (like those weird parallel bars that appear on things as they come out of the fog), and the running function. You did a good job!! :)

Criticisms:

• The mouse's position wasn't locked, so I had to spin to reset myself a couple of times haha. This also made it a bit awkward to interact with things, because that was based on the facing, but I intuitively was trying to click on things not in the center of the screen. Just a little UX thing to think about
• It wasn't immediately clear that hitting the ores was doing anything, it might help with readability to add particle effects or cracks on the ores. u might have already included sounds but i had it muted so i couldnt tell oops

• that other one was the last point ,itch just wont let me delete this bullet point 😭
• edit bc i also realized: all ur itch pages just have hte default formatting! It goes a long way to even just set the colors or add some cover graphics, also you can request access to change everything's css if u didn't know! Thats how ppl kinda go nuts w it lol

The spam popup is art to me. I enjoyed this one!

no web build D:

Thanks for the kind words :)

and, the world generation is really simple actually! It's just: at each point in a square grid, generate some objects with random probabilities, then put things (spikes, milk) on top of it if it's a block. Oh, and it also has conditionals to make everything become more sparse at the edges and to have a more open top and more closed bottom half. Not sure if that actually explains it at all haha

Thanks so much! <3

This is the best game ever created :O

"this... this is art" ~ Sun Tzu

Yeah, Mothership is impossible. The concept I had ended up not working how I thought it would lol

And, I had the same issue, coming up with puzzles, during the jam actually! I think this needed a few more mechanics to really shine, puzzles-wise D:

This one was really fun!!!!! It has a bit of the same kind of sparkle that Link To The Past has... I really enjoyed exploring, seeing things I couldn't interact with yet, and then finding out what they were for later :) I just wish it had more areas and more things... Oh and the dialog was really charming!

AA! spiders :O

I'm continuing to work on this project because, you're right there's a ton of potential here >:)) 

check out my devlogs if u wanna see hints of what im adding!

unfortunately though, this build/page won't be updated so I can keep it as an archive of what I made for the jam 👍

i agree 😲

i forgor D:

omg those are the exact same ones Compromise struggled with 😂 I promise they're possible, you might just have to be a little creative ^_^

OHH no i just hadn't jumped far enough to the right oops

im autistic lol 🙂👍

I LOVE this idea, there's a ton of cool shit u could do if u decide to expand this! Like you said, holding a torch (maybe that goes out after a set amount of time?)... Also though moving lights, lights that flick on and off, glowing objects, spotlights, blocking/revealing/reflecting light beams around.... I lowkey might steal this idea and make my own take on it haha

Some critiques:

- It's hard to see where you're going, because of the low contrast between the solid black character and very dark background. I suspect you could make the "dark" colors much lighter, but still retain the effect and improve the readability.

- It's not super clear what the goal is, or where to go. I enjoyed jumping around between the platforms but I couldn't find a way past the first (or second?) screen, by falling off at different points or trying to get to the right edge. More hand-holding or guidance would make it easier to engage with!

Great job though, the vision is SOLID and I'd love to see where you go with it!!

def taken as a compliment! thats like my favorite game oops.  I actually had those last levels specifically, like where there are a couple different "level is _" endings, in mind while putting this together haha

and i wanted to double check that i didnt Juke u by including impossible goals... They are Indeed All Possible! I couldnt tell until stepping away for a day but. Ouf some o them are HARD huh 😅

dont u know that lying is bad for u 🗞️

This is super cute and an expansion of this would be awesome. The vibes are incredible A+

Ecxeppt u only had one ending i cant help but notice..... 🤨

Cool vibes! I really like the cutscene arts <3

baba is u vibes inescapable 😩 tbh though im down w that :)

and im glad u found the puzzles hard, im ALWAYS worried theyre gonna be too easy lol

nono its def on me, I usually communicate whats going on a lot more gently.. this one kinda just. Throws U In haha.

And yeah the pets D: they actually like it though, they dont feel pain and being a ghost feels rly good for them :) i promoise

i wrote a bunch of comments but they disappeared bc i navigated D:

short version though SUPER COOL ART, the contrast is a bit low esp on the game page, it was hard to tell what was happening at first, like between scaring and Losing lol. but Great Job Overall!!!! Vibes 🫡

I couldn't figure out what to do :( the light was too small and there wasn't any direction of "try to X" or anything :p

The idea here, of a very-limited movement almost point-and-click horrory game, is really cool though :O

aww thanks !! <3

Yeah this game is def unfinished sorry 😭 I will be updating it to fix these issues 😵‍💫

I will definitely figure out a way to change the button mappings going forward.. Would you want a way to apply custom keymappings, or what do you think would be best to accomodate your keyboard?
