Congrats on finishing your first game, this is a really solid start! I loved the sound design and ambient background music, it was very atmospheric, well done! I found the last puzzle frustrating at first, but it was really satisfying once I figured it out! Some subtitles to go along with the voice over would have been nice though, it was difficult to hear the words with the reverb on the voice. I thought the little robot friends were cute too, great job!
Thank you dear Artichat! Some things, do feel way better when earned :D
I agree with the subtitles suggestion! I appreciate the kind words and I'm happy you enjoyed the game :)
Really nice gameplay and music, the art was also nice but the char walk cycle looks weird, and the tress didnt have collisions for somereason, overall really nice game gj!
Thanks! The character does move weird because his torso does not lean forward, as for the collision in trees, I either wanted to do it properly (with you having the ability to walk behind them, as in game right now it is not a 3D scene) or not do it at all
Thanks for the feedback! :)
Nice visuals and amazing sounds! The idea ios very interesting, but the minigame where you have to push space on the right moment felt a bit frustrating (trying to push perfectly on time 8 times seems a little too much), and when the voice starts a subtitle would have been good! But for a solo dev is Amazing!
Wholeheartedly agree with your comments! Should have been 5 times in a row maximum (even then! doesn't 8 seem like a weird number?)
And subtitles as well, thank you so much for playing the game and your comment :)
Pretty Awesome first game. I didn't quite finish it as I accidently refreshed the page. (Whoops). I really like the music I think it captured the curiosity really well. Good Job. The visuals were also quite nice. Please keep making games, I can tell you will make some more really good games in the future.
What a heartwarming message... Thank you so much.
I will keep making games, trust me!
REALLY LIKED the last puzzle. It wasn't easy to get but it was just a matter of not giving up. I agree that the puzzle you complete by standing in the right place is a little confusing, but overall it's been a very nice experience. Not to mention it was your first game! A great achievement tbh.
Also, the robot runs in a funny way and I found him so cute and full of character çwç
Hahaha puts a big smile on my face! So happy you liked the last puzzle that much :)
Indeed, the standing still puzzle needs to be improved, I'll update the game after the jam!
The robot is very goofy indeed, I like him a lot too.
Thank you for your very kind comment :>
Congrats on your first game! I enjoyed the atmosphere and how it didn’t hold my hand until the end. I especially liked the physics of the final puzzle. I don’t recall how I got the third robot, and couldn’t find it again on my second playthrough, so that might need some refining to be harder to miss. In the future, I would recommend choosing higher-contrast colors for your itch page—the black text on red is very difficult to read. Nice work!
Thank you so much for playing the game!
The third robot is a game of noticing a pattern and standing at the right place, and I think you're right! There should be easier challenges with the same mechanic to set the player's mind open to the possibility.
And thanks for the feedback for the itch.io page, changing that right now :)
I love the ambience and art on this. I was initially going to suggest more music, but I ended up really liking the smaller bursts of music breaking the silence. It was really effective! I did get stuck as to what to do, so I didn't finish it, and I also found the timed bit with hitting the spacebar very difficult to time lol, it took me maybe 30 tries. So those are my minor criticisms. Big congrats on your first game!
Hello! Thank you so much for playing my game!
The music adds up as you find more little drones :) I'm very glad you liked the occasional music
For the rhythm game, I unfortunately was made aware that on some browsers the game doesn't function correctly.. I'll try to fix it as soon as I can but it is supposed to be easy! So it is most likely a browser issue.
Again, thank you very much for your comments and playing the game!
