That is such an ambitious idea, congrats for pulling it off so well! I didn't have time to play all of it, but the world feels really cool and the overall presentation is super nice too! :)
I love seeing other unreal games, and this one is really excellent. This is a LOT of game to have made in just 4 days. You have great stylized graphics, excellent sound and implementation, funny writing, and multiple polished puzzle minigames. I love your establishing shot with the light on the house as well. Full controller support is always appreciated!
The one puzzle that seems to need a little tuning is the gravity puzzle. I think how it's portrayed in game at this moment is misleading. That was the first area I went and the objects were already floating so I thought you should be able to jump higher in that area and I spent the whole first whole loop minutes trying to parkour to where the key is. You definitely need to be able to restart a loop at will if the intended solution is to get there before the objects rise.
Absolutely phenomenal job, if this is four days I would really love to see what ya'll can cook in a month long jam.
Had a lot of fun playing, good "aha" moment when I finally saw the place to get the key. Aside from a tiny amount of waiting, the time loop worked well due to most puzzles being doable out of order.
Nice job guys. its one of most ambition projects of this year
Thank you so much! Ambition is typically our downfall haha, we managed to keep it reeled in this year actually :D -Kaylee
Voice acting in a game jam is always impressive! Nice job you guys! Especially with all that 3D modeling! You must have been a great team.
I'd appreciate feedback on my submission if you get a chance!
Really glad you enjoyed it! I'll be sure to check out your game as well :D -Kaylee
I loved the visuals, nice game, very fun puzzles and it has a nice potential that you could possibly improve after the jam ends :3
It would be awesome to improve the game post jam! :D Thanks for checking out our game!! -Kaylee
Really cool visuals and puzzles, really liked this game!
Thank you so much for playing our game, glad you enjoyed it! -Kaylee
Cute game with great visuals, the puzzles were fun, really nice job with such a limited time frame!
Thank you! It was a journey one could say but everyone had a great time working on it :D -Kaylee
Pretty cool, once you got it it's pretty easy, but it's fun to discovery things. My only critique is that the game needs a way to force time travel, since if we miss the gravity thing, our run is basically over and we need to wait a long time. Besides that, great game, good job :)
I would have loved if it was possible to jump into the black hole and reset the round, I think that would help a lot more! Especially if we had more puzzles or less time to do everything. Thanks for playing, really glad you enjoyed it!! -Kaylee
Love this game! Great artstyle, sense of humor and level design. Only thing I could think of was a bug where the timeloop does not happen while in the tile puzzle, and that some areas were a bit too dark. Incredible job for the time frame that was given to you guys!
Oh that's strange, I thought that was fixed but it could have been missed, thank you for letting us know :D and thank you very much for playing!! We all had a lot of fun making the game :) -Kaylee
The visuals are dope. The puzzels were also great but i got a bit stuck at the first one due to my skill issue and the controls. That brings me to my only critique, the controls of the first puzzle felt a bit unintuitive. Everything else was really impressing! I love the Gravity Falls references.
Thank you for playing! Which puzzle did you take as the first puzzle? Just for clarifying notes so we can possibly improve down the line :D And as you could probably tell, a lot of us are big Gravity Falls fans ahaha -Kaylee
This was really cool to play. The art is really pretty, the environment is coherent and it's nice to explore it. The puzzles are really fun (the slide one would have been better if you could just click on the tiles). I liked that you have to explore and sometimes wait for the next loop if you didn't do the gravity puzzle soon enough. i think it could even have less time to force the player to optimise their way and a way to reset the loop before the time ends.
Anyway a really lovely and fun game, well done
This is great feedback, thank you so much! There are a lot of small QoL changes that I wish we were able to get in but that is how it goes sometimes. Glad you enjoyed the game :D -Kaylee
I really like the main character, she's super cool! The game itself is also nice: I like the gravity puzzle best.
The game would definitely benefit from more sound effects and, obviously, more puzzles. :D Something with the baseball cap, ofc!
Nice work! :)
Leah and Sam did so well on the character I love her :) Thank you for playing! It would have been awesome to be able to fit in more puzzles. -Kaylee
Very nicely polished puzzle game! Gameplay was very smooth and level design was intuitive. I kind of wish the time loop mechanic was explored more and affected gameplay in some way.
Yeah I agree that would have been cool! :D Thank you for playing our game!! -Kaylee
Nice little game, good work! I'd only have wanted some more environmental SFX or background music.
Thank you so much for playing! Will keep that in the mind for the future :D more sound is always good. -Kaylee
Nice short game with amazing visuals. Crazy how you guys managed to pull off such polished game in a short time!
Thank you so much! I'm really happy with how it all came together :) -Kaylee
it runs too poorly on my pc lol
Sorry to hear that! Even on the lowest setting it wasn't playable? Thank you for trying though! -Kaylee
I'll try again later, I don't think I looked at the settings!
Oh sounds great, I hope you're able to play it!! -Kaylee
I Was able to play it! Cool puzzles and atmosphere!
Glad you gave it another shot! Thanks for playing :) - Sam
Love me some puzzles and mini games! this has a great style to it as well.
If you dont mind, please consider rating my game as well :)
Thanks for checking out game! I'll be glad to check yours our too :) -Kaylee
This was fun! I am a sucker for mini-games, and I really enjoyed the exploration element! My only nitpick is I would have liked to be able to rearrange the tiles by just clicking one instead of focusing with the keys first. Great job all!
Thank you so much for playing!! Hopefully one day soon we'll be able to change the sliding puzzle a bit to help improve the user experience :) -Kaylee
Oh one more thing: I noticed her freckles and thought "hey that's neat they didn't need to get THIS detailed"
Aw it's so nice that you saw that! It was getting pretty close to the deadline when I still needed to export the textures but really wanted to add the freckles before doing that XD - Leah
