The game has so much personality, on top of being fun and polished!
Wow thanks for the nice comment! Your game is on my list to play :D
Wow that was so polished and very creative! The art was great and the ambient music in the background was the perfect choice. I had a lot of fun with all the minigames and the assistant was written really well, was laughing a lot. I felt so bad the first time when I got the bad ending though 😭Super Assistant >>> Super Giorgio for life
Great submission and super impressive for a young solo dev!
What a nice comment, thank you, I‘m glad you enjoyed the writing :))
SUPER GIORGIO GAME OF THE YEAR
The dialogue was right up my alley! The artwork is fantastic, really well done mate. Essentially a bunch of neat micro games packaged super well, I understand its popularity now! gonna go play super giorgo 2: 2 super 2 giorgio now, goodbye
Thank you so much! The micro games, funnily enough, where a pretty late addition, but definitely a good decision
You have to play the super giorgio remake first
gonna go play your game now!
Damn, that was pretty good. I actually don't have any criticisms this time. Great job!
Thank you for the nice words! The entry is on my to-play list
Really cool game! The art suits the game, the mini-games are super fun and I really liked the dialogue, well done!
Thanks umaavore! I like you like all of those aspects
how did you managed to do all of this in 10 days? Loved the dialog, the art is stellar, sound effects were on point and I'm ashamed to say that I'm so used to multiple monitors that I tried, more than once, to drag the windows to the other monitors...
Thanks for playing! And that‘s hilarious, i guess you got really immersed, lol
You entry was in my radar for a while, i‘m gonna get to it soon!
Putting all this together in only 10 days is an amazing feat, the game was very polished and seemed very creative and fun
Thanks for the nice words!
Amazingly creative and fun, and on top of that there is a SNAIL in there? I have genuinely been blown away by how creative this game is and seeing how much you improved over the time as a dev (also I will need to play Sleepy Slugs soon!) I love the little bits of inspiration from other games too with for example the furnace layout, the art is amazing, everything simply comes together so well.
You've blown it out of the park and I think all the praise is very much deserved! :)
Thank you! Your game has been on the corner of my eye for the entire jam (i love snails). Glad sleepy slugs also took your attention!
I have no idea how you managed to put this together in just nine days. Absolutely incredible. No notes. I bet I could learn a lot from the programming architecture behind this.
Thanks for playing! Some parts of the code are good, but others... we don‘t talk about em.
Very good job on the game
Thank you!
Fun: fun, and funny, I liked the minigames, mostly talking though, however, adding 2endings was very well done
Presentation on: perfect art style and sound design, it's simple on purpose, if you made it better or added more details, it wouldn't have given the same vibe
creativity: probably the best thing about this game, you took the theme and did it well, the game has good ideas and humor, and 2 endings, very well done
Thank you for the detailed feedback! Your game look interesting, i‘ll give it a go!
A fun, cute experience that was very well polished. Can't believe this could be made in 10 days
I worked a lot. to make it.I‘m glad you enjoyed it!
Fun gameplay and nice humour! A great concept that fits the prompt well. Lots of attention to detail. This looks like it was a fun project to make!
Thanks for the kind words! It’s the very first time I made an entirely based UI game so I learned red lots of new things, which was very fun!
fun game, presentation was nice but small parts of it does feel harsh on my eyes. a bit confusing on why the opening the mod tells you to open the game and the game tells you to open the mod loop is there. the assistant talking during the virus show down wasting time was a tad bit annoying but was still alright.
Thanks for your feedback!
The assistant making you lose control is done because otherwise you could accidently sequence break the entire game by clicking frantically. I did balance the virus.app time o include the assistant dialogue, but i understand if it feels unfair in some places.
The mod-assistant loop is there because the assistant is unaware that the mod tells you to delete him. It‘s made to redirect the player towards the right path
If the visuals hurt your eyes it‘s probably because of the crt filter in the settings. Or maybe the windows where a little bright
I‘ll definitely take your feedback into consideration when updating the game after the jam, thank you patrick.
ah ok, the lights were off so I didn't know the assistant had anything to do with it. makes sense now you say it thx for explaining
I congratulate you for this my man
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Okay this game is actually VERY creative. The artstyle was nice the music was catchy and the assistant was easy to connect with. I really love how the idea of making "Starting The Game" into "The Theme". Good work on this :D 💖.
My brother PineappleBlast001 came up with the idea haha, thanks for playing!
Absolutely incredible game. The gameplay is well crafted, the searching system and the “captchas” are so cool. A lot of systems in play for this game to function.
I had fun playing this. Well done! Take all 5 stars from me.
Wow thank you so much! I actually just saw shovel play your game on stream it looks awesome i‘ll also check it out
And i REALLY appreciate the 5 stars!
WAIT WHAT?
Its RAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW
(Sick game man XD, I did have an error that made everything purple and was painful to the eyes, but the game was too cool, so I pushed through for a wee bit. Either way, great job, its super cool and fun!)
RAWWW
Huh that‘s strange i‘ve never seen the error you‘re describing. I‘m assuming you didn‘t take a screenshot but could you at least tell me what happened in more detail? Might just be a bug with godot or the browser because i‘ve played the game 30+ times and it never happened.
Sure, I tried refreshing, turning the VHS filter on/off, and full screening/playing in the normal window. It was basically a purple overlay over the screen that almost looked like a VHS filter on blast XD
It also only starts after I put my name in
wow i‘ve never seen that thank you so much. I‘ll look into it, it seems to be an issue with the purple glow shader. It‘s gonna be hard to fix isnce i can‘t seem to recreate it but still thank you so much for teh screenshot it helps a lot!! I‘ll definitely play your game in return.
edit: pretty sure it has nothing to do with vhs.
Haha, now worries, best wishes on fixing it 💪
That was pretty incredible for a jam game, I couldn't bring myself to delete the little guy.
The only criticism I can make is that I spent 5 minutes on the starting screen trying to press enter after putting in my name and having it just get deleted lmao
Thank you so much for playing! An dyeah sorry about that, i couldn‘t get the name to lock itself to only one line, so player could set their name as
a
A
A
A
A
which would break everything. So i just made it that when you press enter it gets deleted. I‘m glad you eventually understood tho!
Very cool concept! Great music. The effort put into the game is clear, though in my opinion there's a bit too much text and not enough gameplay. I'd also really appreciate it if you could check out my game!
There is a bit of text in the game yes, fair point. Sure i‘ll check out your game. Thanks forplaying!
