The story in this game is fantastic, haha, and the humor is just right. It was really fun to watch the boss progress, especially thanks to the cutscenes and audio, which added a lot of immersion to the gameplay.

Speaking of the art style, I really liked the way the food items were placed in the environment. I’m not entirely sure why, but even though they were clearly a bit different from the rest of the art, they still managed to fit in naturally without feeling out of place.

The gameplay is easy to understand and feels quite polished, but it could be interesting to add more attack options and maybe a bit more speed for the player. Also, a small variation of tougher enemies before the final battle would have been a great addition.

I have to say, it was a really engaging game. The facial expressions added a lot to the personality and emotion. You did an excellent job, seriously. Congratulations on that, and I wish you the best of luck in the jam!

Great game! Excellent theming and story, cute art and fun boss battle.

The art, animations, and voice acting make the game feel very genuine and personal. Great work!

I had a lot of fun, without a doubt. For me, the voice acting was one of the strongest points of the game. It matched really well with the type of story, the art style, and the color palette. I also really liked how the same voice was used to characterize different characters, each with different references and personalities.

The facial expressions also stood out to me a lot. They were simple, but they conveyed each character’s feelings perfectly.

If you allow me to share one thought: I think the level itself could have had a bit more variation. There were two enemies with the same effect, or almost the same effect, at least I did not notice if they caused different damage. Maybe adding a small obstacle, still keeping the same simple style, could help break the cycle of just holding “D” until the end.

I thought the boss battle was great. It gives the feeling that it is a little difficult, because you need to repeat it a few times and understand the movement sequence. But then you realize the fight actually ends on the second life, and that is a huge relief, haha. The third life being finished through the scene was very clever, and it gives the player a nice little break.

Keep going with this creativity. I am sure many unique games will come from it.

Solid submission! The visuals are great and I had fun in the boss battle. Gameplay is a bit simple, but this can be improved later. The voice acting is cool, And the game itself has the potential of going further by having more events between the beginning and the boss battle. Congrats!

Well done! Cutscenes, audio, SFX, voice lines, story and almost everything was perfect! i had a lot of fun playing this game. My personal advice is to make the player a little faster and the fights before the boss a little more challenging, but it's just my personal opinion. Keep it up with this originality!! :D

lmao love the cutscenes, they are amazing, as well as voice acting. The main gameplay is nothing to talk about honestly, you just hold D and press LMB sometimes, some additions to that part would be great.

The boss battle is nice, well done and polished. Not sure why the boss has 3hp though if the boss fight ends after 2 hits.

Very nice game, always good to see some fellow construct 3 users!
I don't know if you've done this with the 50 events limit, if so, very impressive. whilst the art and audio is peak (loved the dubbing) i thought the gameplay was a bit too simple. finally the boss was hard, considering this is a jam, try to keep thing as easy as possible.
Other than that perfect use of the theme (it should win this category) and a very solid first game jam entry!

i will love to see yout next projects, followed!

Loved your game buddy.

The storyline and your dubs are the highlight, also the visual and animations are very pretty.

I could give you some feedbacks, but your game have so much pretty details that looks like if you have more time you can make a great game, keep going with game development.

Congrats on your submissions

Great game! Loved the handrawn visuals though it felt inconsistent a few times. Amazing storyline too! I think that the dialogues were quite hard to interpret because of the muffled speech.

Hi, I'm Acuristic, the developer of "DeathWish". Here's my feedback:

Things That I liked/Enjoyed

• Visuals: The visuals of the game are Really good I really loved your art style, but it is kinda inconsistent, with the food being hyper realistic and the rest of the art being, cartoony.
• Cutscenes: The cutscenes at the start were Fabulous and also it was a nice little touch that the character's mouth moved when they are talking.
• Story: The story was Amazing, it was really immersive, good job!
• Enemy AI: At first I thought I can just jump to skipp fighting the enemies, but was suprised to know that they jump too!

Things which can be Improved:

• Movement: The movement felt slow, this made me  feel like the character is moving in space. The jump was quite floaty too. You can increase the speed and the gravity of your game to fix this, as it made the lasers which cover half the area in the boss fight very hard to dodge.
• Cut Scenes: The cutscenes felt a bit slow, you should add a skip button, as it gets quite repetetive after a while.
• Progression: The game in overall felt a bit slow paced, it is mostly because the slow, unskippable cutscenes, the slow and floaty movement which further reinforces the idea of the game being laidback instead of a boss fight and the boss fight itself being more of a cartoony, silly kind made the boss feel quite easy.
• Enemy Ai: Even with the enemies jumping to attack you, it doesn't stop the player's movement allowing to skip to the enemies and just go straight to the boss fight, this can be fixed by adding a knock back tot he player whenever under attack.

Lovely game! It's simple but it has lots of character and a really becoming hand-made feel to it. Good job!

Fun! The animations/cutscenes kinda impressed me haha, and the combat was pretty fun too. A slightly more consistent art style would take your work along way (like fonts and the health items), but really complete and overall a fun game. Good job!
