That's exactly right! There are 10 different crises, each with 8 possible responses, and every response is associated with 5–6 keywords. My original plan was to connect the game to a real AI using an API key and train it for this purpose. However, since I found out that any kind of AI was prohibited in the jam, I decided to implement this system instead.
The Corpo section is actually the hardest part to understand, so I completely get why it might be confusing. Here's how it works: the real netrunners' gameplay is replayed on the screen in the top-left corner. The four buttons in the bottom-left are each linked to one of the mini-games currently active on the netrunner's screen. If you open the correct mini-game and solve it before the netrunner does, you earn points.
Also, if you're using Unity, I'd recommend enabling Run In Background under Project Settings → Player → Resolution and Presentation before making a build. For this type of game, it's a much better fit since it allows the game to keep running even when it's not the active window.
I absolutely loved the environmental design, especially Francis's house—it genuinely made me smile. The fun core gameplay, combined with the wide variety of upgrades and skills, makes the game rewarding to keep playing. Great job!
First of all, I was genuinely surprised by the variety of upgrades! I've never seen a clicker game introduce this many creative ideas to the genre. It was incredibly fun to play. My progress is pretty slow so far, but I'm sure it's going to look and feel amazing once I've unlocked all the upgrades. I also loved the physics of the little guys—the way they have weight when you grab and pull them feels fantastic. I'd honestly say this is a near-perfect game for its genre.
I really liked the variety of bosses and their unique themes! The gameplay is also quite creative. It kept me fully engaged, constantly dodging attacks while looking for opportunities to strike back. The only thing I felt was missing was a bit more visual feedback during the bosses' attacks.
I really loved the game's visual style. The UI feedback felt polished, and the screen shake when firing did a great job of making every shot feel impactful. I think the wave pacing could be a bit faster, with waves starting and ending more quickly. It would also be great to have more events or things to do during the daytime. With improvements like these, I think this could easily be one of the best bullet hell games in the jam!
This is definitely one of my favorite games in the jam. Every character feels like they have their own personality and soul! Also, even though it may not feel completely "juicy" yet, the foundation of the combat system is really well designed. I can't wait to see what happens as I make my way to the end!
I really respect that you chose to use a different game engine. For a first game jam, this is a really solid effort. I especially liked how you built extra rules and conditions on top of a simple core mechanic—it added a lot of depth to the gameplay. Keep it up!
I'm making a cyberpunk-themed game for this game jam. I listened to your sample tracks and really liked them. I still don't have an artist, but since my game is mostly UI-based, that's not a huge issue. If you have Discord, feel free to reach out to me there—I'd love to work with you!
I really liked the concept and the gameplay! The music was relaxing and kept me engaged throughout the game. I did find some of the levels a bit challenging, but with a few more mechanics added, I think this could become an outstanding game!
The tutorial was really well designed. As someone who uses Unity, I know firsthand that creating a good tutorial system is one of the hardest things to get right, so great job on that. I also didn't expect such a simple core idea to be executed so well. Watching the character happily walk to wherever I clicked was oddly satisfying—I found myself just enjoying the animations. The best score I managed to achieve was 93%!
A polished and stylish game in every aspect! It’s based on a classic idea, but it has some creative additions that make it stand out. I really liked the lighting, and the music also helped create the right atmosphere. It would be even better with more things like growth-inducing food and some instant power-ups.
I really liked the character and background artwork! I tried all the levels, but I haven’t managed to finish them yet. In platformer games like this, there is an important mechanic called coyote time, where the player can still jump for a few milliseconds after leaving a platform. Adding that would be a really nice touch. That was the only thing I felt was missing.
The character design and punching animations were really great. It turned out to be a fun game — I haven’t managed to finish it yet, but I’m going to do it! In games like this, having something like a timer for scoring would make me feel more motivated and immersed. That was the only thing I felt was missing.
I felt a little bad for the tiny ants—they were just dancing! 😄 You did a great job with the FPS controls; they felt solid and responsive. The game looks really good overall. My only concern is that there seem to be some optimization issues, but aside from that, great work!
The character feels really smooth and satisfying to control. I spent the whole game jumping around and trying to pull off cool moves—it was a lot of fun!
