This is like some kind of "escape from crabs in Bikini Bottom" simulator.
I ran around for a long time, trying to figure out what I was even supposed to do. I got lost. Then I found a huge, squeaking tripod. I ran away from it—to the sound of that same squeaking. Even though it wasn’t scary at all, the sounds it made still gave me goosebumps!
At some point, I gave up and stopped. I decided to see what these little crabs would do. They stood right next to me. For a while, we just stared at each other. I even wondered—could they be friends? Maybe I should try to befriend them. But alas, one of them spat in my face.
It was actually quite funny.
In a game that involves a lot of running, I’d suggest adding a jump mechanic. It might seem unnecessary, but at the very least, it helps break up the monotony of just holding down the Shift key.
I love the visuals and the general alien feel of it, oh and the sky is so fucking amazing. I got lost on the map and only got to destroy 6 of the 9 crystals but, eh, i like it.
Cheers.
Thank you! And you did not miss thaaat much if you already destroyed 6, very nice!
Visually, the game is really pretty, and I think the monsters themselves are adorable. Honestly, I almost had a heart attack the first time one of the monsters jumped out at me from around a corner, oh and the sky is pretty too. Sometimes I got lost in the maze, but I’m not sure if that’s because I have a poor sense of direction or because the camera would sometimes flicker, causing me to lose my bearings.
Either way, it’s a really fun game. Good job!
Thank you a lot! 😊
I really like the aesthetics, reminds me a lot of Zen from Half-Life 1. The monster designs felt pretty unique as well. I wish there was a way to detect if there's an enemy around the corner better so you don't have to sneak around them all to avoid detection but I still enjoyed it!
Thank you! I have sadly never played Half-Life but since its a very iconic series I take it as a big compliment 😊
map seemed simple and a bit too big. super cool visuals though.
Thank you! And yeah true, should have maybe made it a bit smaller for the jam.
XD very interesting. i found the big monster but i couldnt figure out how to destroy the crystals.. skill issue.
Also the sounds are super loud and unbalanced and i think the map is too big. I love the style though!
Thank you for playing and yeah the map may be a bit too large, also hope the sounds didn't destroy your ears, I am sorry for that 😭😭
