The comic/cutscene at the beginning was awesome, and the graphics are very beautiful! The game is difficult, but it didn't reach the difficulty of my game. You can try it if you'd like

I loved the character and the comics, they were so beautiful, also your artstyle is really milky and unqiue, the sounds were really blending too, not to jarring, and the atmosphere was amazing, thou those saw blades might well as be the white palace in hollow knight

Loved the little comic at the start. Though, in the beninging I though that I had to juggle the little guy like a flappy bird 😭

Thank you❤️❤️❤️ that comic was so nice todo after a hectic week of grinding out assets. 


And I mean thats honestly the best way to play it honestly. I do all my runs like that🤣

Amazing art, the intro panel is gorgeous! Unfortuately is quite difficult for me, I can't even reach the saw part everyone is talking about...

Developer

Thanks so much!! Thanks for playing no matter how far you've gotten

Thankee!!! That intro was one of our stretch goals and I am SOOOO happy I was able to get that done❤️❤️

You team did a great job. Visually, the game looks impressive with minimalist sounds providing a special atmosphere. It's quite difficult, so I gave up on the saw part.

Developer

Awesome thank you for playing! Sorry about the saws, those were my bad  (ᵕ—ᗜ—)

Omg Thank you Thank you!! I was so happy with how the assets came out and I learned so much from this! 


yeah our personal path of pain really got everyone😅 we briefly joked about adding chainsaw sounds too

Amazing art and good gameplay. I do have a bug to report though. In the second level, if you time it right, the astronaut sort of jumps over the lever and our door does not open. The level continues without us.

Developer(+1)

Good catch I'll add it to the bug list! Thanks a ton for playing

Super cool! The astronaut was actually pretty smart and the game was possible to beat with some grit and patience. Nice job - really impressive for the timeframe!

Developer(+1)

Very cool game, interesting mechanics. Went all the way to the saw blades, but could not get past that part. 

Developer

Sorry - saws were my bad!  (ᵕ—ᗜ—)
Thank you so much for playing up to that point!

Dont worry i couldn't either😅 Thanks for playing tho! We had a huge blast putting it together

I really like the visual style of the game, it reminds me World Of Goo. But generally, this game is very enjoyable. I wanted to complete it, but once I reached the sawblades, the game became much more difficult.

Thanks so much for playing! Yes the floor saw was a last minute re-addition, after play testing a ton of people had issue. Its possible though! Here's a tip from one of my teamates:

"if i sit on astro for a little bit near the beginning and let him jump when the floor saw comes near, somehow the timing i had made it so that it's do-able for astro to bounce afterwards and navigate him to the end"

OOOOOO World of Goo was one of my FAVs when i was younger!!!! I love me a good goooey blob❤️

good
