absolutely amazing, I saw this game on yesterday's stream and was super impressed by the concept! visuals are a bit rough but I'm still giving it 5 stars in all categories, this game SHOULD be in top 100. it's just criminally underviewed!
well done guys! the most notable things for me were a very clever way to present the mechanics to the player (it's also hilarious!), and some silly carpenter-esque music that fits perfectly
(Nintendo pretty much ignored our local market. they didn't mind that it got filled with Chinese NES ripoffs in the 90s and didn't really care to enter it officially)
I was halfway sure that you took the initial inspiration from it. it's even better if you didn't :)
there ain't much to check out, really. EtG is a bullet-hell hell game, and there's an item called Turtle Problem. what it does is spawning little turtles that can absorb a couple of shots before ceasing to exist. they don't shoot, just cover you randomly. it's only just a few of them at first but if you play long enough you'll see, like, 20 to 30. partially reminds me of your idea but that's pretty much it. although EtG is a very creative game, you may find inspiration in some of its many other mechanics
not gonna lie, I considered that too yet I'm not entirely convinced it's a downside. maybe polishing is the answer here. still, totally agree, some work needs to be done about that
wow, thank you very much for such kind words! I'm genuinely touched, and I'm sure my partner in crime will feel the same. <3
both points noted and appreciated. totally agree with the first one. unfortunately, we ran out of time to think the tutorial through. the next step for us will be making it clearer without any text at all.
ideally, the controls are a subject of a player's preference but we didn't have any script for controls binding to borrow for this project (frankly, almost no pre-made script to quicken the process). it doesn't seem very suitable for a game jam prototype but I think maybe it'd be beneficial to have at least a couple of options next time?
we are absolutely going to continue developing the game as we both are very happy with it despite its flaws.
once again, thanks a lot for this. hopefully, we are to share some experience with each other, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to come up with next :)
I appreciate the creative idea behind it, cool stuff! I'm playing all the jam's games alone though so it was difficult to see it in its glory. I suppose you ran out of time before finishing AI?
a simple yet brilliant concept. it's getting very hard very quick though but for some reason, this challenge feels deeply personal haha. I just have to beat it!
a unique idea which I can't appreciate enough. controls feel smooth, music is good, and a space train concept itself is deeply nostalgic for anyone who knows what Galaxy Express 999 is :) I think this game deserves to get some polishing after the jam is over. well done!
I liked the game but it crashed on me unfortunately (I was on a stage with 4 pillars). and it's pretty difficult to get rid of the enemies without getting hit because the warrior constantly moves forward and collides with them. an interesting idea nonetheless! I didn't see through the whole prototype but if you are to continue development, I suggest coming up with something a bit more crucial to do for the warrior. maybe you could try mixing up the dimensions in some new ways? that also can be very interesting.
and I like the thumbnail a lot, making a whole game in this style would certainly take it a step further.
a solid entry! controlling two characters at once is always a bit confusing but this game made me laugh a number of times because of it, maybe because the platforming aspect of it is so good. I'm amazed that you managed to pull it off solo, great work!
oof, it's a bit too challenging for me but I absolutely recommend checking this game out. a unique idea (I played a lot of submissions but never played anything like this) mixed with cool teeny-tiny pixel art. high on my list, well done!
please don't mind me saying that but the task is quite tedious but I believe this is by design :) the game definitely has potential, keep it up!
btw, if you're interested in seeing different spins on a similar concept, I recommend checking out our effort and a submission called Take your brother with you. all have managed to develop a very different game, and personally, I find it fascinating
PS. how do you reach a pear on the 2nd level? I tried throwing the girl mid-air but it doesn't seem to be working :(
I love the idea, totally deserves to be expanded upon. I imagine hundreds of possible combinations and I'm not even sure if it requires any other objective. good job guys!
(I wonder if it's a bug that rolling is happening by itself occasionally?)
a very unique concept, I haven't seen anything like this yet. more characters and different challenges would definitely add up to replayability. good job guys!
a very cute game and a funny concept, good job! I would suggest making more puzzles where a player have to use the box to their advantage, I think there's a lot of potential there :)
