I definitely put a lot of thought into how I could make the player understand how Will must have felt contextually in a brief moment of time.
I've read the notion that game design as a form of artistic expression is a great avenue for us to confront our fears. With this particular release, I believe I attempted to do that.
Finding joy in game dev and everyday things, take care!
Sorry it made you dizzy! I really wanted to double and triple down on feedback indicators to the player that the connection to the physical world was straining.
This is really well put together, one of the most unique entries I've seen so far. Love the idea of a recursive coffee machine god. Thanks for sharing!
Good visuals and audio! It was a little tough to figure out the controls implicitly so I think a tutorial would have helped a lot in my individual experience. I do love the theme and concept. It felt a little hard to get the spirits to keep following you because when you change your character direction the flashlight changes with you.
This was a really fun and peaceful experience, I played about 7 levels of it before moving on. If you had the interest to build on it after the jam I think your core concept is really strong for a "full" game. Great art style too!
I made all the assets from scratch so I very much had to cut the scope of the project down to bone. Even the audio was direct lined guitar and foley recordings of a vent fan and some water dripping into a sink, followed by some basic audio engineering tricks.
Had I not lost so many hours due to the holidays I would have included some logic puzzles, more interactable environment pieces as well as some additional visual storytelling art. I really wanted to animate some of the environment too, but c'est la vie.
Loved the art and the theme was cool! I found it a quite challenging though, once you fall the first time the screen kind of moves faster than the character and get sort of stuck. There's also a fair chance its a skill issue on my end.
Would have loved controller support but understanding time constraints and that aside, great game. The folder intro/menu was a super slick touch. Cheers!
This is a cute game! I loved the art style, my wife and I had a dog that passed recently after 16 years and we recently had it in us to get a new puppy. So short story shorter, this hit home - thanks for sharing!
Loved it, very neat mechanics. The learning curve was perfect, well implemented learn-while-you-play. Music was cute, and so was the art. Did you make both yourself?
The art is amazing but I got stuck after sitting down, missing assets error. Would love to play it again after the jam though if you decide to update it.
Great visuals and audio! The twisted art was super creepy. Performance was a little harsh for my machine, a fair bit of stuttering when I first launched. Otherwise great job, cheers!
Great game! I liked the way you progressively get stronger and faster as you progress, really tied the theme together. Did you make the animations and particles yourself? They're really good!
Thank you very much. As a solodev I wanted to make something impactful while keeping the scope extremely lean. Glad you enjoyed, I'll check out your submission tonight. Cheers!
Cool concept and fun to play! I was able to just walk off the edge to the side and disappear, and as the others mentioned you can kind of cheese your way up if you want to. But truly a fun concept, I would encourage you to build off the idea if you feel up to it after the jam.
