This was such a lovely experience! Everything feels so full of life, from the expressive characters to the beautifully detailed backgrounds. I especially loved the cozy color palette and the overall art direction, it gives the game such a warm and charming identity.
The writing was really fun to go through as well, and the music fits the whole experience perfectly. You can really tell how much care went into all the little details.
I really hope you guys get the chance to finish the game and make Chapter 2, because I’d absolutely love to see where the story goes next!
I absolutely love the visuals in this game. Seriously, you have no idea how much! The fact that you managed to create this kind of artwork in just one month is honestly insane, in my opinion.
I also found the game really cohesive overall. The music fits it really well too, and the whole experience is just really charming.
I absolutely loved this. The whole game has such a strong atmosphere that I felt completely immersed from beginning to end. The art direction is incredible, especially the character designs. Every character has so much personality. The music, visuals, pacing, and writing all work together incredibly well.
Overall, this was an amazing experience. I absolutely loved it, and I’m definitely going back to see all the different endings. Nice work! Keep going!
A really lovely little story! I really enjoyed the music, and it fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly. It’s really cute, and I’ll definitely keep playing to see the other endings! Great job!
Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re really glad you enjoyed it!
And yes, I really wanted to avoid having the game hold your hand too much. I preferred adding some clues so you wouldn’t be completely left on your own.
As for the saves, like I mentioned in another comment, I didn’t add a save system because it’s such a short experience. However, I should definitely add a button to skip the tutorial, or at least the whole introduction.
And as for the rest: there are some more "evil deceiving candies"! It’s actually pretty strange that you didn’t run into any of them. Looks like I’ll have to check my array and look through that part of the code too!
I absolutely love the art style, and I really hope I get to see this game finished with the full story. Like you said, and I completely agree, I’d also love to see more variety in the art style.
Even so, I absolutely love it. I really love your style. Keep it up!
Since it’s a very short experience, I didn’t really think about adding a save system. I also didn’t think about implementing a way for the game to recognize that you’ve already completed the tutorial, or simply adding a skip button.
Over the next few days, along with some other things I need to fix, I’ll definitely implement this as well!
Thanks so much for the feedback, and we’re really glad you enjoyed it!
Genius. Absolutely genius. I think you guys were the only ones who came up with something this cool and unique, to the point of literally using yourselves as actors instead of drawings. It’s such a unique idea, and the atmosphere is really great. Well done!
It reminded me so much of American McGee’s Alice. The art style is absolutely incredible, and the atmosphere is both creepy and beautiful. Most importantly, every character feels unique and alive, with their own personality. I absolutely loved it. Amazing work!
Really unique and charming! I love that everything is done in pixel art. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and everything works really well together. Great job!
I only have one criticism! The fact that you can always keep the ball with you makes you practically invincible! I’ve played it a couple of times: once following the normal flow of the game and the other time speedrunning by holding down the left button.
Otherwise, it’s a really nice idea! the mechanics themselves, the fact that you can use the ball for attacking, anchoring, and defending.
The song is amazing. That aside! The game is really fun!
One criticism I have is that the tutorial screen is a bit confusing, but that’s only because it’s an overlay on top of the game without a background. Other than that, though, it’s really fun, and the difficulty builds gradually with constant waves of enemies. It’s pretty fun at a certain point to have a bunch of cannons you can place anywhere and watch everything blow up.
Nice! At first I was a bit confused, but then I just went with the flow. I like the terminal concept but maybe I would have made it feel even more like a terminal, but the UI is actually pretty cool as is.
Other than that, it’s really nice. Maybe the text scrolls a little too fast? But aside from that, great job! it’s really nice.
What can I say! It's really nice! It would have been nice to have a little “gambling” system to play around with, just for fun. That said, I'll definitely save this for a few nights out with friends.
Really cute! I think I have bugged it right away by accidentally spamming the space bar, which messed everything up a bit buuut maybe that’s actually part of the game?
Anyway, I kept playing and had a lot of fun! It’s a really fun little game, and I love the switch between 2D and 3D. If developed well, it could be a really fun game to play either in a loop or as a series of levels!!
I started the game expecting one thing, but instead found myself playing a fresh, extremely chaotic, and dynamic game where the theme is really well executed... In fact, my chances of winning were actually zero.
I admit I didn't immediately understand how to play; I was thrown right into the chaos, and that's just fine.
Visually, it's really cute! I also love the game's theme, the whole concept of Buddhism and karma, mixed with various GameJam themes! My only criticism is that the rain mechanic was really harsh! If even just a few pixels of the “guy” got wet, you'd lose points! Other than that, it's really cute, and the mini-games are really fun too.
The only downside is the lack of sound, and then the action finnaly kicks in, you'll jumo out of your seat because you weren't expecting it. Aside from that, it's really fun little game! i really like the visual style, and overall it's super cute dungeon crawler. - Tremotino
