the art is great, the sound is fantastic, real sims vibe to the characters talking, i like the openness of just explore and see what people say

only feedback is maybe put the speech choices a little off centre as i kept accidentally clicking them trying to get to the next line of text

great game and visuals, the loop feels satisfying but i do find the scaling a little off. gets very hard very quickly i feel like a bit more of a reward in terms of buying power would be a nice balance

overall very nice game well done

thanks! just going to load yours up now

this is a great game, i feel like adding a reminder mechanic that can only be used once per round would be a good call.

overall super fun and one i will come back to play and finish, good art style, good concerpt and fits the jam perfectly

playing this now, feedback on mine would be appreciated, i really like your game i wont lie

The above is my text based true or false trivia game with a few dark twists. i spent time crafting the characters but maybe not long enough on the art and presentation. 

useful feedback is wanted, this is my first game and i am happy to review anything in the comments or in response to reviews left. thanks all.

dry humour inspired by hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

okay so the game is great, gave grunn vibes and the whole setting is nice, music suits the style very well but i do have some feedback.

the gameplay loop is not very clear, tutorial would be nice. there is no noise from the enemy's, turned around and got mobbed by 7 carrots i didnt hear coming. the combat isnt intuitive, is there weapons or is it all fists? 

the concept is great and i think after building on this there will be a great little gameplay loop

this is a great game, i do feel like i would echo some of the below comments on difficulty scaling, it seems pretty hard to keep up after a couple of levels. the character hit sound effects could take a little work too

the gameplay is great, the writing is top notch and genuinely funny, great pixel art and can tell a lot of love went into making the game

https://smithy112.itch.io/nobody-here-but-us your game already reminds me of grunn, will play next

the art is very nice, great sound design and i really like the whole vibe, slightly opressive. nice job

why is micky mouse giving me sass?

for real a great game, really sold the dread element walking through the dark corridors, i enjoyed the small chunk i played no bugs

a voice acted game? brilliant and can tell a lot of effort has been put into the game

made me jump a fair few times. only feedback is make me wait a bit between jumpscares, let the tension build a little because i expected one pretty much every time it happened. 

great art, great narrating and i genuinely didnt know if i should trust the voice or not it really nailed the theme 

great game, only feedback i would give constructively is to give the different characters different fonts, some of the conversations between two and three people got a little confusing unless paying very close attention to the nametag

art is fantastic, good sound design and can tell a lot of effort has been put into this. great work

great game and fantastic art style

yeah the art needs work, I focused on the content and struggled to find matching assets

thanks for the feedback I am going to make the game look nicer after the jam

thanks man, I can happily show you how I coded it sometime if you are interested 

thanks for the feedback, anything specific that felt off to you? Be brutal if you need to I know there’s tons to improve on

https://smithy112.itch.io/nobody-here-but-us

I’ll check yours out too :)

hey, thanks for your feedback and if I make this into a full length game the reactions would 100% be something I would do

the assets are all free and had to work with what I could find haha

will go play your game when I am at my PC, appreciate your time 

I did not, trying to play and rate as many as possible, a rating on mine would be appreciated.

I will come back to finish tonight 

the art style is good, the simplicity of the sprites gives it a lot of charm and the fonts used are pretty creepy. Liked playing

solid idea and I feel like it could be built on quite a lot, nice

great little game, i see you have about as much experience as i do based on your last comment. very solid entry. keep at it this has a lot of potential.  

needs some audio feedback but other than that this is a really cool concept and has the potential to be a great fully fledged game

very interesting game, love the visuals, good job

cool little game however the one note i would add is the jumpscare volume is so loud and hard to predict. i know thats sort of the point however just felt a little off for the theme. psychological horror and dread works better here than loud noise

this is one of those games that i could sit playing for hours, i am unsure if it was bugged but i got no audio. great game and really fits the theme. 

i like the visuals a lot, music is also very well designed. unsure on the feedback for getting player damage but is a cool concept overall. 

thankyou for the feedback, art is not my strong suit as you can probably tell and i have had to use a bunch of different free assets, i will tidy up the game and release after the gamejam

very cool concept, maybe add text to the narrator as i struggled to hear over the music but once i realised what the aim of the game was it was very satisfying. 

great job

someone else mentioned this, when the bar empties it should be an endgame but i believe i have it set to less than 0 rather than 0. will go into the code and fix, thanks for the feedback its greatly appreciated :)

i really like this, would need a little time to get use to the mechanics, i went insolvent within 10 mins, but the references are great. donald tump commenting on the stock market made me chuckle anong with the gamestonk reference. well done 

hey, so just to confirm the trust meters didnt go up or down when you were answering questions? thats a first for that bug if so and ill have to do some debugging. for clarity, trusting a hint givers answer and it being correct gives +5 trust, going with a hint giver who is incorrect is -10 trust, reason being is its easy to lose trust but hard to gain back

thanks for the feedback will have a look at the issues and potentially speed up the writing or add a complete/skip button before the edit period is up

really enjoyed the art style and the gameboy feel, no real constructive feedback to provide, nice job

thanks for the feedback, all 31 rounds have been fact checked too so its all things you can use to test your friends haha

hey, i did the trust thing deliberately just to make it a little more brutal and realistic as trust is hard to gain easy to lose. and wanted to make the secret ending a little easier to access, what ending was it that crashed the game? empty trust meters or a full trust meter or getting through all 31 rounds with no winner? i can take a look at the code

thanks for the feedback will take a look at your game

Holy atmosphere, played for like 10 mins and had myself jumping just from the coughing sounds. the art style is fantastic, the way the little hints are placed on the walls is good but i think the letters on the tables does a fine job of describing what to do in leu of this.

great concept, only feedback is texture clipping like photos and wallpaper and some graphical bugs like when rotating a lot of the textures flicker, but this is a great game especially given the 7 day timeframe.

good points

monkey island vibes with great music and an almost pokimonesk feel to it. great level design and dialogue. had a few laughs from the gulls scattered around especially 'im just here for the music'

feedback

J is not the most intuitive attack button

there is a section on the right hand side of the map with a butterfly type enemy where the controls are all weird, wasd not doing as expected. great concept good rating left

thankyou for your review! i will head over to your page and have a try of your game now. 

i was not happy with the art and assets however was limited to free assets and what i could get but do fully agree the art should match and would be better if it did. 

i will likely adjust thye boldness of the text just so i can address the second point. thanks again!
