I like the 'They can't hurt you if they can't see you' mechanics, it makes great gameplay and puzzles.
Full marks from me, this game has one of the more unique interpretations of the theme I think! Using the limited visibility to create a horror element is really fantastic, I liked baiting the monsters to a section of the screen and then trapping them there. The sound effect that plays when they become visible is really nice to make it more of a 'jump scare'.
One bug I found was if you shoot a bullet and resize the screen while its in flight, the bullet can escape the bounds of the game. It injured my Unreal icon. :(
Wonderful job!
Awesome idea and such great execution, I loved the new mechanics added and thought it was great that you had to dodge your own fired bullets, really added to the strategy of how you resized the window.
Brilliant game!
Really cool game. The game mechanic is entirely unique and interesting. The game was hard, though, so I didn't play through it all. The player collision also might be better if it was smaller so you can move through tight corridors better, but that's just me nitpicking. The game is great!
:D
i've seen the window scaling theme a few times but using the limited info available to the player to make for a kind of horror game was very smart, bravo!
I had a similar idea to use window scaling to tackle to theme but WOW, you absolutely nailed it. This was so well done, very impressive. We should talk shop sometime as I would love to hear how you decided what sort of gameplay to go with once coming across this idea.
Love the art too.
This was an absolutely fantastic idea, and great execution! A definite standout for the game jam. Full stars!
This was great. Love the style and the resizing window mechanic, though sometimes the resize handles wouldn’t show up just when I really needed them to!
Such a creative game! I'm also impressed by the variety of the gameplay elements. Visuals are also cool and cohesive. I had a lot of fun playing, great game!
I love the idea of scaling the screens as a mechanic. It took me a while to realize there was a max height and width for the screen and I thought it wasn't working at first, but I'm glad I figured it out because it is really good and original! Also, I liked the marketing and trailer video, I would love to see Mark play this
I was searching for a game like that in this jam ! Not dissapointed.
Great game ! The creativity here is amazing, glad you could make it work so we can experiment such a creative game ! Keep up the good work :)
A really nice game! Cool mechanics. Creative idea, good and enjoyable level design. I really liked the cyber / glitchy art style. Not much to say, because the game is great already. But maybe player shouldn't be able to get more bullets and hearts when they're at max. Also nice sound design. I hope to see more creative games like this from you!
AWESOME CONCEPT! 5/5 for creativity! Good use of the theme, but would have scored 5 without the theme! Overall very solid game and I loved figuring it out. I encountered issues when trying to finish level 2 tho, I got reset after finishing it.
I love games like this that try something new. And the most impressive part is that it's pretty intuitive, and the UI for the inventory is super creative!
