Wow that was extremely well done. From the story, to the art, to the gameplay. I really liked the looping aspect and the first time I tried to use the dash in a wrong area, I found the text kind of funny also. And this is your first game jam? Wow, what a great job!

Developer

Thank you! Appreciate your words :)

Submitted

nice looking art and the gameplay I liked how the presentation is super fun Game 

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted

I honestly really think this is one of the best games i've played in this jam. The art, the creativity and the overall gameplay was really nice. I love the interpretation of the theme, and I honestly think this is a huge accomplishment for your fist jam. Congrats! 
If someone see this comment, check my game if you have the time. I think it will be a good experience. (Not as good as this game but still. lol)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

I like that it had an entire plotline, very nice!

ironically I also managed to find the trigger near the end completely by accident on the first loop so was funny to see him react to the same thing twice, and was just as shocked both times lmao


As for feedback

I found the way the dialogue interrupts your movement constantly to be somewhat annyoing though it managed to be acceptable enough most of the time when there wasn't much dialogue

The main menu selection could also be a bit clearer so you know what you're selecting more consistently

as of right now I can't really think of anything else that particularly stood out to me as being that noteworthy other than some minor visual things maybe such as the teleporter laser beam just being cut off, the subtle slide when teleporting as well as awkwardly cut off tiles

Thanks a lot for the feedback! We wanted the player to be extremely focused on the story so thats why we thought of stopping the movement, I understand its kinda annoying tho. Also I completely agree with the other things you said but we didnt have enough time for all the details in only 9 days. Hope you had fun!

Submitted

Great game, the plot really drew me in. One thing I'll say is I think it would be better if dialogue didn't stop your character every few steps, you could just him slow down instead or have the lines play in the background without blocking movement, or just dial down the frequency of dialogue in some sections.

Developer (1 edit)

Thats a good idea, we wanted the player to focus more on the story tho :) Thanks for playing!

Submitted

You for sure nailed that aspect!

Submitted

Really good! I enjoyed the game a lot, though there could have been more done with the story. Maybe make a continuation after the jam :D

Developer

Got it! Thanks

Submitted

What a game! Great plot and cool puzzles! I think is the game where I had most fun in this jam!

Developer

Love it! Thanks so much for the feedback

Submitted

Look... My jaw dropped every 5 seconds. Really great plot and very well executed!

Developer

Appreciate your kind words , thanks!

Submitted

Not much feed back that hasn't already been said in the massive amount of comments. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Developer

Love to see that! Thanks for giving it a try

Submitted

The way the story was written and presented was incredible! I was fully expecting the game to be past the tutorial, then it looped, then the degradation of the tutorial world into the main twist was really well presented. I love the art style and the animations felt nice, I kinda wish there was more game to play with the mechanics BUT I digress/that's beyond the point of this game. Overall, really well done :D

Developer

Really appreciate your comment, thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback :)

Really didn't see that plottwist coming, I cannot imagine just how much time this took. Amazing game and amazing story, it was a pleasure to play this masterpiece. Good job!

Developer

Really appreciate it man!

Submitted

The story is so cool!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool concept! It fits the theme really well and the story is quite interesting all the way through. Heavy Slay the Princess vibes with the narrator. This is really good especially for someone new to game jams. I had a great time!

Developer

Thank you!! I loved Slay the Proncess it was a heavy inspiration for the narrayion in this game, so glod someone understood the refference! Haha

Submitted

WOW. Hard to believe this was all done in a game jam. It was amazing, I loved every part the art the gameplay the idea and the cheeky narrator haha. It was so well done, my only feedback: It was hard for me to hear the music, some volume sliders woulld reallly help, also we all know the god of mischief wouldn't be so honourable in the full version right?  ;) Amazing game guys, especially if this was your first because it did not feel like it at all.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! You are too kind

Submitted(+1)

Trust me I really am not, you guys should be happy :)

Submitted

I loved the narrative was spot on  (specially with that twist)! Good job on making a fun game!

Developer

Thank you!

I love having to suffer from decades of psychological torture from a lovecraftian god just to get 5000 shingles for my long overdue rent. Jokes aside, game feels pretty nice to play! Really polished for a first game jam submission!

Developer(+2)

Thanks! Played your game too and loved the idea honestly

Well done on a new submission, next time I expect to see your own awesome original artwork!

10/10 would corrupt my own game again

Developer

Thanks! Saw the live reaction :) some of the assets were made by us but some are from the Internet with proper credits given. Only 2 people worked on this so didn't have time for everything. 

Submitted

This was a really cool concept! I liked how the whole tutorial aspect put the mission given at the beginning out of my mind for a while, only for the two to be connected later on. Really well done!

Developer

Thanks! Your game looks cute, I'll try it later.

Submitted

Hey thanks for playing my game earlier I really liked the idea of having something so self contained. Music was well balanced. I think that more could happen faster but other than that this is a good core concept. I just wanted it to get really wild when I restarted. I thought this was really fun and lighhearted though. I really liked the overall aesthetic you went for. 

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!

Submitted

I liked the narrative element of the game! Very polished and neatly packed into a nice one shot story about never giving up

Developer

Just get started! Thanks for playing!
