Very cool game, great job.
This game has a really great vibe :) The mechanics were well explained, so I was able to jump right in. Very solid work!
It's very refreshing to hear you were able to pick up on the mechanics and jump in right away! We did our best with the information, given the time constraint, but could have done a lot better with a proper tutorial, so I'm glad we did well enough for you to run with it anyway. Thank you! Love your game!
Enjoyed this game, very cool art and sounds! Love the background. Well done and good luck in the jam <3
Very cool. The atmosphere comes through really well in the art and sound. The web version could use some shader preloading so that it doesn’t freeze when a new shader shows up, but otherwise the game runs well.
The game mechanics are explained well enough and the rest was pretty easy to figure out. Hard mode is a little more difficult, but after I learned the timing a bit better it went smoothly.
Good implementation of the timers and resource complexity to make a raising game.
Really excellent feedback on the shader preloading. We were a little hung up on performance issues in the web version, and I'm not sure if our programmer was able to pin down the reason (or maybe just wasn't able to implement that fix under the time constraints we had). It's valuable to have someone knowledgeable point to that, so thank you very much!
Awesome game! It was a bit hard to understand what to do at first, but the visuals and shaders are outstanding!
It really reminds me of Mike Klubnika's Concrete Tremor—it has the same kind of vibe.
Awesome job!
So cool! Took me a few tries to figure out what to do. But once I know what I was doing it became pretty fun.
Great game, love the visuals, though the text is pretty hard to read.
I reached 10 followers and later got a message that ritual failed? I think that counts as a win.
Very unique aesthetic with green colours and definitely a strong retro vibe. Music and sound effects complement it really well.
Controls are good but font is a bit hard to read in some places. Nice to see that you also included options to disable visual effects which I'm sure some people will appreciate.
Would be nice to have a button to restart the game. I had to restart a few times and each time I had to watch same ending.
I was afraid I would not be able to win, but I did! Nice decision to use credits screen as endgame screen. I had fun! I see you've already draw conclusion that a proper tutorial is important - I worked out quickly that the gui for control and the game is at the bottom, but that was a bit confusing for a split second. I loved the audio track, even though it is probably a looped few seconds I could listen to it for hours!
Super cool art style and design. This game is super unique. I really can't believe how polished the whole package is for a jam. Amazing work!
great vibe and art direction, I'm fantasizing about tamagotchi-likes every now and then as well. the only immediate criticism (besides the difficulty) from me would be that I didn't see the follower count in the lower screen, I think the cubes are just too dark (or too much in the periphery). but the placement makes sense since they're moving and recruiting. thanks for uploading!
Art - Fantastic. Vibe - Fantastic. Gameplay - a little confusing, but eventually makes sense. I don't know why, but the game stutters like crazy and takes forever to load. It's as if it's generating a new world each time you load, which shouldn't be happening for a game this size.
Was a bit confused at first but once I got it it was fun! I love the cinematic quality. The feeling when the old one had been satisfied was eery and intense. Love the art, really captured the retro vibe in an embodied way, especially by not just using a filter or graphics but actual analogue tech. Kind of reminded me of little nightmares in that way actually. Fun game!
The mechanics are well implemented and the explanation is sufficient, however, it takes some time to get it. The art and effects are incredible! I succeeded to complete the game in normal, although it took me a while. well done! pretty neat game!
I like the art and the whole atmosphere but even with the tutorial I don't understand what am I doing. Looks fantastic!
I'm glad you liked the parts you were able to experience, and appreciate you taking it for a spin. We definitely could have done better when it comes to the tutorial. If you feel like giving it another try, we're finding that the three things people miss are:
Either way, thanks for playing!
