Great entry! Really clever interpretation of the theme. Being alone in a room with the old black and white (public domain?) movies playing and the sound of static made for quite an eerie experience. There were a couple of small points that I noticed:

  • Occasionally when I interacted with a TV, I couldn't click the buttons - I'd have to press E to exit and then E again to get it to work.
  • I feel like something more interesting could be done with the game over screen, it just ended suddenly with my high score display.

However, considering the 72 hour time limit what you achieved was pretty amazing, awesome job!

Really good idea, nice entry

I actually really like the idea of keeping the static of the tvs at before before they consume you. I can definitely see this expanded into a bigger horror game one day. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the kind words.

Neat little game, my only feedback is that on launch, I would either turn the static noise down in the menu, or at least start it quiet/silent and build it up over a second or two to give the player time to react i.e. turn down speakers or take off headphones. Ouchie :(

Overall, great work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry about the volume. I added a fade in as well as a settings menu to be able to change the menu volume and game volume. It will be available on the release version of the game.

Great entry! Atmosphere is perfect here, I love how you implemented real life movie clips. The idea is super interesting, very good use of theme here. One of the most interesting ones I played so far. If you would like to expand project it could be a puzzle when you need to tune all screens before static goes off ;)

Thanks for playing! I appreciate the feedback <3

really love the concept (or that kind if game). With more variation in what to do for the statics, it could be better.

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I planned on creating 3 different TVs with different tuning challenges, but unfortunately I ran out of time. Definitely gonna implement that post jam.

Although I didn't understand the game's metaphors, it was a very interesting game that reminded me of the old TV I used to watch when the signal was lost when I was a child.

It's good!

Developer

Appreciate it! That old TV static vibe was a big inspiration. Thanks for playing!

Creative and eerie game with a great foundation to build from.

Developer

Thanks! That’s exactly what I was aiming for. Hoping to expand on it post-jam.

I'm afraid I can't open your game. Windows Defender is blocking it. If you were to upload a video to YouTube, I would evaluate it based on the footage shown.

I added a gameplay video to the page, you should be able to check it out now. Thanks!

Thank you. A very original idea. I've never seen anything like it before. The theme is very well executed. Well done.
