This was so great! I loved how frantic all the puzzles felt. So cool to have to figure it all out while the fuse is burning. Great work, and nice art on the pixel textures!

The movement is really great, I like source style. Impressive to pull of that game all by your team not using assets.

Thank you very much for the feedback and for trying it out. Yes we tried nail the movement so the platforming feels a bit nicer and we are very proud we didn't need any assets besides some sound effects from Soundly because I am not an Expert in Foley sound and Noise Textures to create Shaders.

Die Hard Defuser

Birds AtelierDeveloper54 days ago

Yeah it was hard but it also came at a cost we didn't manage to get a proper playtest so it feels very unbalance but a lesson we learned. Thanks for the feedback and playing it :)

A lot of fun. I liked in one of the levels where I had to make the fuse a little longer because I needed a bomb to explode to get another piece.

Critical Countdown

Birds AtelierDeveloper54 days ago

Hej thanks for playing and testing it out. We are glad you enjoyed it :)

mintthreeSubmitted54 days ago(+1)

Super fun, my only complaint is the speed at which the fuse burns, it seemed impossible for the levels past 2

Submitted

Birds AtelierDeveloper54 days ago

Hej thanks for playing it and yes we know It's the Top 1 Complaint but thank you very much for the Feedback we learned much from this Jam.

It's fun but level 1 was pretty complicated. At first I didn't realize how to do it because I didn't know you could get more pieces. Then I didn't understand why I was losing because I didn't realize you need to destroy 2 barrels. Then I didn't understand how to get the second barrel because I didn't see the 2 less obvious pieces. Eventually got it on like the 9th try.

I think the game would benefit from simpler starting levels to learn all the concepts. Also an option to not rotate pieces that are already placed, or only rotate them if you click to select them.

Hej, thanks a lot for the feedback!

You're absolutely right the first level was our biggest weak spot. We never quite managed to communicate the mechanics clearly, and I can see how that would lead to frustration. This was our first game jam, and honestly the first game of ours that anyone outside our team has ever played. After staring at it for days, we gone completely blind to how it reads with fresh eyes.

Thanks for sticking with it and taking the time to write this up, really valuable for us.

Cool game!

The idea of combining platforming with puzzle solving/resource management is intersting. The peak for me was when i realized how I'm gonna solve the level and start looking for ropes via jumping puzzle around the space.

Crown of Madness

Birds AtelierDeveloper54 days ago(+1)

Thank you so much for the feedback! I definitely wanted players to learn the mechanics, but the setting ended up being too stressful for that, and the game-to-player communication could be a lot clearer. Really glad you enjoyed it though!

SayegSubmitted54 days ago(+1)

I totally get it. It's a game jam after all!

BeltainSubmitted55 days ago(+1)

I really wanted to get into this one but it seems like my guy was drunk and kept drifting his head clockwise and downwards. Rating it fairly anyways because of how much I still wanted to do the puzzles lol. Good job.

Submitted

Birds AtelierDeveloper55 days ago

Thanks for playing! Could you elaborate on what you meant by 'drifting his head'? Did you manage win ? :)

BeltainSubmitted55 days ago (1 edit) (+1)

Sure thing, seems like just an unfortunate bug:

I tried removing peripherals just in case it helped but no joy.

(This was in the embedded webGL version of the game btw, not sure about the others.)

I didn't manage to get very far as it was quite a battle with my mouse! That being said I feel like I would have really enjoyed it if I didn't have this silly issue on my side :)

Birds AtelierDeveloper55 days ago

That's interesting! I'd like to know which browser and OS you are using, this is the first time I've encountered this.

If you're running Windows, I'd recommend trying the Windows Build so we can identify the bug.

BeltainSubmitted55 days ago(+1)

Ok works just great through the Win64 build as well as in Chrome.
I had the bug on Windows through Firefox (notoriously bad at this kind of thing).
Can finally give this a proper go! Thanks!

Birds AtelierDeveloper55 days ago(+1)

Okay thanks. I justed tested it on Firefox for the first time (note to myself in the future to test more on other platforms) and yeah its alot more buggy than i expected in firefox so not your fault thanks for trying it out :)

BeltainSubmitted54 days ago(+1)

No worries man, also no sweat this has now happened across several other games so it's definitely just a FF thing lol

MJ-12Submitted55 days ago(+1)

To be honest the game would only win without the countdown (or maybe I'm just too slow ;)

nullSubmitted55 days ago(+1)

I enjoyed the visual style! nice work

Submitted

Birds AtelierDeveloper55 days ago(+1)

Thanks for playing my game! and that you enjoyed the Visual Style all credits to Fiftoni she did all of that! <3

Crying StudiosSubmitted55 days ago(+1)

I loved the game! It was very creative that the countdown was the fuse! I also liked the art style, so good job!

Submitted

Birds AtelierDeveloper55 days ago(+1)

Thank you so much really glad you enjoyed it! The countdown was always meant to be a core gameplay element rather than just a timer: you are playing against it but you are also the one deciding how much time you get. And all credit for the art style goes to Fiftoni.
