Such an adorable game! 🐸

Oh j'aime beaucoup l'idée du JDR papier Pokemon.

Tes joueurs jouaient des pokémons, des dresseurs, ou bien un mélange des deux ?

Merci pour ton retour :-)

Je suis content que le jeu t'ait plus.

Boom! I just got 260!

Hi everyone, dev here.

I'm genuinely surprised that this game still gets regular attention to this day, it's been a while since I made it.

For copyright reasons, it can sadly never become anything bigger (unless I somehow get the rights to make an official Pokémon game).
It was intended as a fun experiment for a game jam and will likely never be more than that.

However, thank you so much for your support! 

I appreciate reading all your nice comment.
They help me stay motivated to keep making games.

DEV express love to YOU <3

Yo that was terrifying!

I loved this game! Very polished, and a decent challenge  too. Got me 3 tries to beat it. 

For such a simple game, it's surprisingly deep.

Got a nice and healthy 249
Is it good?

Fantastic game! Quite challenging too <3

I love frogs. Best game ever!

Really cool concept, and great execution!

Honestly with a bigger skill tree and more difficult maps, or possibility to go deeper / start deeper to find more challenging digging, this would make a game I would happily pay for.

Great job! It's really good what you managed to do in just a few hours, and it was neat to put all of it on the same page :-)

That's always a winning strategy!

Thank you! I only drew the main character :-p

Edit: I don't mean the cat, I mean the character you control.

Such a fun and good looking game!
Great job!

Thanks Linus ! I was a bit frustrated to not have more time to work on level design and balancing difficulty, but I'm happy with the overall result :-)

Nice puzzle game. And you made so many levels too !
Great job !  :-)

Hello! Fellow homie here at Spelkollektivet! (the only French guy I guess)

I tried your game but I couldn't get very far because of the controls.

I know a bit of Unity/C# so maybe I can take a fresh look if you want :-)

I absolutely love the art of this game!

This is, without a doubt, the best game in the jam!

Chouette jeu ! :-)

J'ai passé un bon moment. GG à toute la team !

Hi! Thank you for your video and your kind comment!

Sorry you couldn't find the key. Better luck next time :-)

Keep making videos!

That's a great video ! Thank you very much for playing our game !

I noticed you died several times on the edge of the forest. It's due to our implementation of the boundaries of the level : when you are almost outside of the level (which is empty), the Monster will automatically and quite quickly reach and kill you. This prevents you to exit the map.

If you stay inside the forest, the behavior of the Monster should be easier to understand and to predict :-)

Edit: your thumbnail kicks ass !

Thank you very much for your feedback and for your video! I'm glad you managed to find your way back home safely ;-)

Great video!

Thank you for playing and sharing!

The game was not tested on Linux so I don't really know what's happening.

Did you try to use the wheel on your mouse to "blink" on the title screen ? This is how you are supposed to start the game.

(Dying on title screen is a known bug feature)

Nice video! Congratulations on beating the game, even if it can be confusing sometimes. And sorry about the instadeath at game launch, it's a bug we need to fix :-)

Hi! Thank you for playing our game! 

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Thank you for playing and for sharing your video.

Such a cute game ! I had a bad ending and a good one. Are there more ?

Thank you for making this game ! :-)

Thank you very much for your feedback !

I totally agree with you about the lack of landmarks. If I could change something, I would add more 3D props (different kind of trees, rocks, roads, maybe vehicles ? a lake ? buildings ?) and I would remake the level design from scratch. Maybe we could take inspiration from the game Slender to make clearly identifiable areas.

We tried to do out  best on the sound design, but I feel like there's room for improvement too.
The "shriek" you heard came from some Watcher trees. They are not dangerous, but they call the Monster when they see you. When you hear the shriek, either the Monster is far away and you have time to flee before it reaches you, or the Monster is nearby and you need to close your eyes quickly. Also, the Monster is wandering in the forest and can still find you by chance, without even hearing the shriek.

Do Blink was made in a few days during a game jam.
At first, we did not plan to update it that much. But the game is still downloaded and played regularly by new people, so maybe it would be worth our time to keep updating it. (I can't promise anything, the original team split a while ago).

Anyway, thank you again for playing, and for taking the time to give us proper feedback :-)

Cheers !

Thanks for playing ! You were close to the key at one point (near the rocks). Very close...

Thank you for playing ! You actually made it to the end of the game ! Congratulations :-)

The controls have been updated fairly recently, sorry for the inconvenience.

Nice video, and thanks for playing our game!

In the latest update of the game, I fixed the WASD-controls and game-over-with-eyes-closed issues.
The random death-at-spawn-time bug still remains, for now.

Hope you had a good time with Do Blink !

In fact, all WAZQSD keys should work on any keyboard at all time. If it is not the case, maybe download the last build and retry it ?

Thank you for playing the game and for posting your video !
I thought I did put a pause on the game when the title screen was displayed, but obviously I didn't :-o
Or maybe my last update modified this... Oh ! The joy of programming !

This is not a video of my game ;-) but thank you anyway

Thank you very much for giving me a few bucks for the game ! This is rare, and I appreciate it :-)

Yes, you win, I'll change that and update the game soon :-)

Oh man, this was painful to watch x-)
I'm sorry it didn't work for you. Here are a few tips :

• Blinking is not enough, you are invisible only as long as your eyes are closed
• Invisible doesn't mean the Monster disappears, it just means it can't see you anymore
• If you close your eyes right in front of the Monster, it will still come to you (even if you are invisible, he remembers your position)
• Your best bet when you feel in danger is to close your eyes then keep moving in any direction. This way, even if the Monster saw you disappear, it would have no idea where you are now
• When you move with your eyes closed, you can still guess where the Monster is thanks to the creaking sound it makes when it walks. If you hear this sound, keep your eyes closed until the Monster leaves

I hope it helps. But that being said, I'm pretty sure your last death was unfair : you did everything that you were supposed to.

Anyway, thank you for playing and for making a video of your playthrough!
Even if you did not fully enjoy your experience, I'm learning a lot by seeing people playing. It helps me create better games :-)

You're not the first to ask! We are actively considering it right now :-)
