Another anomaly game under my belt! I think the scenario is quite nice but what stood out the most to mo was how silent the game felt. Maybe you could try to give it a relaxing smooth vibe or something like that! If you have time please take a look at our game as well!
Thank you so much! I tried going for a chill but at the same time unsettling environment because of how quiet it is and you can only hear the fire cracking and the faint sound of anomalies, but the truth is, I kinda turned the volume way too low when importing the sounds and it feels a bit empty now. Thanks for the feedback! Also, I will definitely look into your game!
I like the concept, it was fun searching for all the anomalies. It took me a really long time to find the sign one lol. My suggestion is to have some background music, I think it would add a lot to the atmosphere. Nice work!
Thank you a lot! And thanks for the feedback, I will keep that in mind!
the web version was very smooth. no problems atall :)
Thank you so much!
Nice game
Thanks a lot!
can you export it as playable on the browser ?

There is it! I avoided leaving it as playable in browser because the build is kinda laggy, but I hope you can enjoy it anyway.
I'd love to give this a try. Any chance you can export a Web or MacOS build for those of us without a Windows PC?

This is the WebGL version! I avoided it before because it is laggy for me, and I thought it would not be enjoyable enough. I do, however, have a MacOS build that is not posted if you would like me to give that to you let me know.
This would be very good in html!

There it is! I tried avoiding the WebGL build because it was very laggy when I tested it, but I hope you can enjoy it anyway.
I had a bit of trouble with the sensitivity and FOV — both felt quite low for me, so maybe adding adjustable settings could help players with different preferences.
I was also a little confused about what to do after crossing the gate, as nothing seemed to happen. Some clearer objective guidance might improve the experience.
It would also be helpful to have a pause menu so players can pause or exit properly.
Overall, interesting concept — just needs a bit more clarity and polish.
Thank you for the feedback! I figured the tutorial itself might be a bit vague in game and I tried adding more details on the game page, but adding those details in game would be a good choice.
For this jam I will not be able to update it but I will keep it in mind for future updates. Thank you once again so much!
This is really cool
Thank you so much!
Loved it, the gate mechanism is so cool !
Thank you so much! Feel free to give me ideas of what I could improve in the future, if you have any.
