Was difficult for me to locate myself but the vibes are peak

Developer

Was trying to make navigating part of the difficulty, but might have leaned a liiittle too far into it and made it a bit frustrating. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome art style, and the retro 3d theme is great too. Levels are nicely optimized, and sound effects are out of the world. Great entry overall!

Submitted

The art and vibes are great! felt it was a bit hard to navigate down in the tight lower hallways while carrying the meat.

Submitted

Graphics were nice; level design was good too! Well done, guys <3 

Submitted

I liked the graphics!

Submitted

I really liked the graphics and the level design. What is the workflow for building a level like this?

Developer

I built the levels in one night, pretty much. There wasn't really a "workflow", I just did what sounded fun. We used a gridmap and I was given objects to work with.  After learning what each did, I built each "room" one at a time, then added shortcuts at the end so there wasn't backtracking to worry about. I built it in a upwards spiral, so the pit was always at the center, and easily accessible.  Then we had some friends test it and adjusted accordingly-- some of the jumps and hidden buttons were a little too mean lol.

This is a strong entry: the graphics are good, the atmosphere is amazing, the twist with the last part of meat is cool.

The only issue is that in web the mouse does not fixate, but it's an easy fix

Developer

Thanks for playing! That mouse bug was my bane during the last few hours before the deadline, sadly couldn't fix it in time but made the work around with the pause menu for the time being.

Submitted

The atmosphere is cool. I fed the machine 4 slices of meat but then couldn't find more. I don't know if it was a bug with the spawn or I couldn't find them. Anyways, pretty cool.

Developer

The consoles in game are where you get the majority of the meat where they spawn on nearby conveyor belts, odd if they weren't spawning. Glad you enjoyed overall though!

Immediately hit with really nice atmosphere. gets pretty intense and little stressful as you're desperately trying to navigate the map for the first time... in the dark. 

Never thought my knowledge of basketball would come in handy in such a game
More Meat

this game is fire! It should have more ratings. can you rate my game aswell?

Submitted

This is so sick! Didn't work too well in browser but ran great when I downloaded. Loved it, everything seemed super polished.

Submitted

Very nice graphics

Attempt 1: Managed to have the mouse disconnect from the game so i could only move so much then clicked fullscreen and lost the ability to walk.

Attempt 2: Would have been nice to have been given some reason to continue feeding the machine. Lost motivation to continue after 3 of the machines and became tedious imo.
