Thanks for the feedback! The camera delya was done to my preference and I understand that no everyone prefers that. Possible fix could have just been a setting slider to adjust the delay to your desire but time didn't suffice for the implementation. And yeah I know the power up camera goes out of bounds and I kept it for pure comedic effect and I understand its not practical at all😅. Anyways GGs

Great retrospect!!

This is my first game jam too so I would like to share my story as well. 

Just like you I went into the jam maintaining a decent enough sleeping and eating schedule(Roughly 6hrs sleep and 2hrs breaks). I solo developed my game using unreal engine from scratch which I think was a big mistake. I was completely off the mark as to how long it takes just to implement the basic structure of the game (like character movement and such). Just this much too almost the entirety of the first day. Now knowing fully well, my lack of knowledge in texture and asset importing and the general random unreal engine behavior I was determined to import and check out all the assets b4 I go to sleep. Now is when I realized that I should have given more time for this task as all the assets either were discoloured (for some reason the hue was totally off) which I had to fix manually one by one and all the assets were way too freaking small compared to my environment.

Day 2 was a hell scape. Assets were showing random visual anomalies (which had to do something with me placing them real close or something :D). I still hadn't implement any of the levels, hadn't implemented any of the gameplay mechanics and didn't have the time to implement a main menu screen. So I did what i do best and yolod it. Made a level named main menu with instruction spread throughout as floating texts. Made 3 levels and duplicated them so that I can make a one way flow instead of having to do a complex loop. Copy pasted some blueprint logic I knew I couldn't conjure up in time and then went on to build the project. The final result is playable enough I guess but I missed a lot of obscure places where I should have had instructions for. But hey they game atleast looks hella impressive for something I did in 2days!(Proud of myself)

Overall should have not implement everything from scratch. 5/10 failure rate, could have been worse!

You can check out my game for yourself here!: https://itch.io/jam/kenney-jam-2023/rate/2184146 
:D

Loved your game. Just a quick note, I find that webgl stuff has a tough time running on brave, so maybe you can specify that at the beginning so that others don't misjudge your game based off that :D. Good job on your game tho! 

Makes sense, thanks! 

First time participating in a game jam and solo at that so criticism would be really appreciated cuz I want to work forward with a similar project like this.

Also please try to rate as many games as you can.  Really need to help our friends whose works have gone underappreciated till now🔥

Also check out and rate my game if u can in the meanwhile ♥ => https://itch.io/jam/kenney-jam-2023/rate/2184146 

Constructive criticism much appreciated!!

Loved the skeleton dancing, really adds to the lighthearted-ness. GGs

I feel like night levels are a test of how much ambience you can create. GGs good job!

This game excites strange sense of nostalgia for me. GGs

Very creative game, reminded me of there is no game. GGs!

Had a bit of a rough start with brave just unable to play any webgl content properly. GGs though!

Lovely game, wish i had time to implement ghosts or enemies but you beat me to it. GGs

Loved the level of polish in this game, Great Job

Had a bit of issue running it in Brave F.....switch to google and was smooth. GGs though

The ambience is really something, GGs

Love the work, really impressive for a 48h jam....loved the visuals

Love the little touches here and there, really impressive 

Just a quick note: You can go back through the gate in the final chamber if u have collected all the coins.

To finish the game, u have to go back to the car and press 'F' while facing the back of the car

Forgot to mention this anywhere in the prebuilt so yeah that's that ;)

Seems unbalanced cuz rating seem to be based off 1-5stars in 3 categories while the number of people who have rated the game differs from each game...My game has 4 ratings while some of the other games have like 15+ ratings which makes comparison seem weird doesn't it

Anyways, GGs 

Loved the style and concept. Really plays on the exploration aspect. GGs

Oh yeah you physically cant soft lock youself in this game....i ensured that much. But working on that I totally forgot to put tutorials in less obvious places so people maybe not be able to understand where to go😅

Proabably add those in the upcoming version with some hud and guis too :)

GJ everyone!! My game is called ExploR

First kenney jam so no idea how rankings in each of the mentioned category is going to be decided, is it purely based on reviews or is a judging panel
