Pretty neat game, loved the style of it. Can be a bit difficult to discern where the trail is meant to be, but overall pretty good.
Thank you!
Your game was a lot of fun as well. I love the little hitstop once you complete a loop, it adds to the overall game feel very nicely.
Love the art and all the juice! The loop and snow drawing mechanic feels very satisfying, and the soundtrack is super dope. It's a little bit difficult to complete the loop, but still fun regardless. Good job!
Thank you so much!
Your game was really polished and the idea of the bouncing DVD logo was really unique! The art style was really well done and it made me feel like I was watching an old TV.
Good luck during the jam!
I absolutely love the art and the soundtrack. But it is a bit hard for me to pass :(
Thank you!
I loved your game as well. The idea to not bump into your own past versions of yourself was really interesting, and the diner setting made perfect sense for that. The music becoming muffled when you run out of time was a great addition too.
Thank you! <3. Btw can you share how did you achieve the 3d-pixel graphic? Is it like a pixel filter?
Sure! I projected what the camera was seeing onto a render texture. Then, I had the render texture display at a lower resolution to achieve the pixelated effect (about 400 x 226).
I absolutely LOVE the presentation on this one. Shoutouts to makin loops in the snow
Thank you so much!
Your game was so amazing! You totally nailed the juice, and the concept was really interesting and unique! It was really fun and intuitive to jump while sliding as well, excellent job. The soundtrack is really well made and fits the game's aesthetic perfectly!
Very cool artstyle. I think an easy mode that lets you stop during a loop would be nice.
Thank you so much!
I appreciate the suggestion!
Nice implementation of the theme. Good idea to implement a joystick option, because with keyboard it is really hard. I also like this kind of art style a lot and fits the game well. Only point of improvement is the music gives me the absolute creeps! (if that was the intention, well... great job!)
Thank you for playing!
When I think about snowy areas, I think about the expansive, cold atmosphere that they give off. I also think about the sense of nostalgia I get from snowy areas, and how much fun they were playing in them as a kid. So I decided to make the main melody have this thick, hazy feeling, but simple chord progressions to give into the playful nature of it.
I love the visuals, the floating background how bubbly it is and the platform being ice cool (pun intended), but sadly the gameplay was too difficult for me as the line didn't match up and it was hard for me using keyboard :( BUT i love the music and the graphics for the game as they look coherent :D Overall good game XD
Thank you so much!
It's such a fun and cute game. I'll echo what others have mentioned that it is very difficult to do with a keyboard but the difficulty did mean finishing any level felt like a huge accomplishment!
I loved the art style and the music really complimented everything really well! Amazing game overall!
Thank you so much!
I love the art in this game! The direction is super fun. honestly makes me think of the cookie game in Squid Games. It's really hard, I would love to see the collision boxes a bit bigger so I could complete it easier, but overall great job!
Thank you for playing!
The comparison to the cookie game in Squid Games wasn't one I had thought of before.
This game is definitely made for controller, keyboard is like doing a harder difficulty!
Well optimised, thanks for creating.
Thank you!
I enjoyed the screen boundary looping mechanic in your game as well!
Oh dang, didn't expect it to be THIS hard! Super fun though, I even tried drawing using my fingers as guides XD
That's really creative!
Thank you for playing!
Oh my goodness, I didn't think it would be so difficult to draw shapes in the snow with a keyboard! The game is beautiful and the overall atmosphere is really great despite the difficulty!
Thank you for playing!
I enjoyed your game as well, the mythological base for the story was really interesting and I like how you incorporated it into the gameplay.
Your game is truly impressive and eye-catching. It manages to pull the player in both with its atmosphere and its gameplay. The creative ideas combined with the simplicity of the visual style make the experience really enjoyable. Just one small piece of feedback: pressing the "J" key during gameplay can be a bit uncomfortable. Maybe using a more accessible key like "E" could have worked better. Still, I really enjoyed the game, great job!
Thank you so much!
You can also use the shift key to tread as well if that makes the game more comfortable for you.
I enjoyed your game a lot as well! The premise was really unique.
Thank you so much!
visually stunning, but lack an intro what is happening
Thank you!
I do agree that there isn't really a story in the game, I just focused on making fun gameplay this time around.
Your game was a lot of fun to play, too! The card combination mechanic was interesting. It had a good amount of polish in terms of animation and sound effects as well.
It's BRUTALLY hard on a keyboard, i wonder if that could be addressed with some kind of buffer period, almost like coyote time in platformers. Other than that it's visually very nice and the premise is incredibly charming, I can't help but wonder about the player character, who are they, what species? Something about their horns in the cover image inspires these questions.
Thanks for playing!
I am definitely going to add coyote time to the loop detection, it would solve the problem gracefully. Thanks for the suggestion!
As for who the player character is, I think I'm going to leave that up to player interpretation. I was thinking about adding a story, but I wanted to focus on making the gameplay the best it could be.
Your game was a lot of fun as well! The drawing mechanic was really intuitive and I love the fact that you added the translucent circle around your loop so you can see the area it will affect! All the different shapes you have to make for specific types of enemies was really unique as well.
Good luck during the jam!
I think the premise is really original! I loved the art style and vibe the game gives but I think the difficulty is too high.
Thank you for playing!
I appreciate the feedback.
This game looks amazing I really love the little blue guy, the gameplay is hard but feels really rewarding once you finish a level you get stuck on!
Thank you!
Had fun playing this - got harder and harder. Once I realized that you need to be kind of "vertically below" the red/orange it got easier.
I've attached a screenshot below, as this keeps happening to me - not sure what's going on. I'm not running into the baddies, and I'm not stopping moving.
Thanks for making this!
Thanks for playing!
To complete a level, you need to get the correct percentage and also complete the loop.
The screenshot you have sent here shows that you did not finish the loop, which means you must have stopped moving at some point in the game or let go of the tread button. You can see when a loop has failed at the top of your screen during gameplay.
If you didn't do either of those, it might have been a bug I haven't caught. Is there a specific case where this occurs that you can replicate?
Ah interesting- thanks for the tip!
I love the artstyle and gameplay loop of this, a lot of the more complicated patterns gave me a lot of trouble.
Thank you so much!
This game has so much style! Really nice juice on the visuals
Thank you so much!
Your game was really cool too!
