Guys.. I think i found what those guys call a "Hidden Gem" :sob:
I LOVE THIS, this is REALLY underrated.
I cant believe i just randomly stumbled across this, first the thumbnail that caught my attention then the looks in the 1st screenshot
It started SO simple i thought meh, another celeste like or smthin
But then comes the twist
My only problem with the Pool room was that at first it was really hard to distinguish between the background and the walls lol.. Tho i got it in a min, but it still took a bit :P
Also, I liked the skribble controls and checkpoints but the waypointers are where i draw the line (or scribble one? :P) cuz everytime i thought "ohh ohh there is a way here maybe" and i found a waypoint which then points me in the correct direction.. Like it kinda took away the exploration i did till then.
Like 1 second im feeling like exploring then instead of finding something new or an answer i find the lead to the answer.. Like from that point it just asks me to move along the directed path to reach the end.. Ik it sounds like complaining/nitpicking but i genuinely felt that
I got the layout of the whole level 0, but the pools room is a bit more complicated :P
But im pretty sure i found 3 of the ways to the exit and im confused as it said at the start that there are 4 exits but only 1 way to freedom.. But every arrow or path i follow leads me to the same room somehow to exit, so not sure if im missing something..
Anyways, the game and the physics especially feel REALLY polished! (Like jumping and spinning the map or just controlling your fall using the spin was very fun! Like i was playing the dropper in minecraft but instead of just controlling the player im aso controlling the map xD
But now my middle finger hurts for holding right click for so long lmaoo
For the atmosphere, the art already created a really cool liminal kinda scene (tho i liked the style of level 0 more than level 1 but it still was cool) and the music elevated it to the next fukin level
Also, i found the secret exit area on level 0 and found this small visual issue there :P (hope this doesnt spoil it for others)
Also, im confused as to whats that.. office? like background ambience that plays when you get close to those lights
Anyways, great entry you guys, loved it!
Thanks for the feedback, im glad you enjoyed it! I only added the scribble arrows because my friends kept getting lost and going in circles😭🙏
Hey, i love your game! really well-made tutorial and game feel is amazing have few things to learn from you))! great job.
Hope you will play and rate my game also <3
cool concept, and a really good idea pairing it with the backrooms - it fits that odd world where anything could happen! The sound design was really nice too. Had a bit of trouble seeing in the pool room as everything kinda blended in together. Overall really fun!
Thanks for the feedback! Im glad you enjoyed the game!
The whole rotating level idea is sick, and the art and backgrounds are awsome
Thanks a lot! I’m glad you liked it!
interesting concept! wish there were more levels - didn't expect a maze for only the second level lol :P
Thanks! We initially planned for more levels but since I was the only one making the art and the level design I kinda ran out of time :(
One of the most creative games that I ever rated so far and will also be the first that I give full 5 in all categories
The game is very well outstanding and polished in all aspects with only limited time to make it really feels like this game had been developed for months, for how good it is!
- The arts are very consistent and beautiful with all the lighting and great designs.
- Music is superb keeping me in the game and give that mysterious vibe venturing in unknown place.
- The gameplay is straightforward and fun doing trial and errors on each path.
I am really bad at this game lol I but still managed to finish it after a lot of tries, Brilliant Job!
Thank you for the support! I'm glad you enjoyed the game ❤️
wow, wow and at last wow. I'm a sucker for pixel art so you already won me at the start and music also enhances the atmosphere. The take on the game jam theme is also very creative! The only thing to improve is the camera that sometimes stays after the character and it's kind of hard to say what lies ahead.
As I said you won me with the pixel art and backrooms, the mechanics are not lacking IMO so I can't resist giving 5 in all categories, fantastic job!
Thank you so much for the support! This really means a lot ❤️
Wow incredible work for the time! I love the visuals and it´s realy fun! Sometimes the pllayer can get out of camera and sometimes you cant realy see where you are going to land after a jump but other than that I realy enjoyed.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
The moment I spotted the wallpaper and the yellow jumpsuit, you had me completely hooked... The visuals are absolutely stunning, the atmosphere stays beautifully true to the original universe, and the concept is brilliantly clever. Honestly, this is outstanding work!
Thanks for the support! This means a lot to me!
i really like this, i love the art. but the player controller feels a bit clunky when you jump and the camera doesn't really show where you are going to land. in conclusion: really good. good job!
Thanks for the feedback! I hope you enjoyed the game!
Woah, super unique and cool! (fun too!)
Thanks for the support! Glad you enjoyed it❤️
