That was really good! I loved the story beats and the gameplay was really satisfying. It was a lot of fun seeing the energy production rise and rise and being able to destroy the cells faster and faster. The story is a also quite interesting and a bit depressing. Also, having translations and even translations for the voice lines in a game jam game is really commendable! Great work!

I enjoyed the concept and must say I was very impressed with the amount of assets you put into this in two days, the memories sell the vibe pretty well - respect for the voiceovers, I love those!
The balancing probably needs revisit to slow down the game a bit, so I hope you will come back to it and expand it after the jam ;)

Zenbarvery cool idea, i loved it. balancing was a bit weird. at one point i could just spam buying very upgrade. there is no time for balancing in 48 hours though, i know ^^

Brain or Rot?I had a great time playing the game, really like the idea and the sounds are on point! The ARD button easteregg is also great ;)
Can't wait to sign my own SODaLG contract :D

The Spirit's JourneyVery creative dialogs and I liked the idea how you told the story. I think I somehow managed to overflow my currency - at one point I had an absurd large amount. :P

Do You Mind?Really cool interpretation of the theme! I especially liked the whole idea of the artificial afterlife and uncovering the memories.
The music was also really nice and fit the atmosphere super well. Very impressive what you managed to put together for a jam!

Arbeit! Arbeit!!Wow! What a cool game. The storytelling and gameplay worked so well together. Voice acting was a nice treat when I first uncovered a memory! Early on I received a large spike in energy that quickly pushed my resources to 1M and 1B+. Slowing that down could help maintain the flow of the story and impact of upgrade decisions.

Mind Your BusinessIt's hard to believe you did all this solo in such a short amount of time 0.0 I really like the comic at the start and the dialogue with the robot they were funny :D The memories seemed a bit random in regard to the story with the robot. I would've loved to hear more about the company :) For the gameplay itself, at some point there was so much energy that the upgrades felt kind of... irrelevant xD But that's just a question of balancing. The game concept is very cool and the story could be very intriguing :3

Exorcist - ARD Game JamThank you so much !
Yeah...the balancing could be improved, but this is due to the time constraints:D Glad my hubby took the little one, I worked on this game more than 35 hours xDD
Regarding the memories I actually wanted to show things about the life, not the company. Because those also hint, that the women really misses her actual life and her actual body :) But I get that some more information of the company would also be very nice to have! :D Could not make too many, just because of the time as well xD
Cooles Spiel!! Du schaffst es sehr gut, eine Atmosphäre aufzubauen und ich möchte unbedingt weiterkommen, um die Erinnerungen zu finden! :D Auch vom Theme her eine schöne Idee, artificial minds / Existenz nach dem Tod. :D
