9/10!
ok this game is awesome, I got a bit confused when the letters changed and the dude kept yelling at me haha. Great game I had fun :D I did indeed get my water.
Nice effects! well done!
I'm glad that even faced with a giant monster hand, the game's protagonist remembers to stay hydrated. This was a fun experience, and the high level of polish is appreciated!
Haha, thank you! He also stays impossibly calm, which is very admirable.
There are a lot of things that could make the game a lot less stale, but it feels great to have the polish I managed to squeeze in be noticed.
As for the source code, it's anything but polished :) But hey, better a messy submission than a half-finished dead repo!
interesting game :) I treated it more of an experience than a game (since it doesn't exactly save your score and it turns impossibly hard in the end XD) but nevertheless, it was a great one!
Thanks a bunch! I agree the difficulty needs some tuning, but I ran out of time way before I imagined, which is always the case with me and game jams!
Rest assured it's doable, and there is a short game ending sequence!
Very unique concept! I especially loved the use of the music and sounds. I think adding levels of complexity to the game, such as having to increase the speed of drinking the water or including different combinations of key inputs, could add higher stakes. Overall, it was a well executed game!
I'm very humbled, thank you!
I totally agree - I'm glad you appreciated the sound design, I was aiming to have it distract from what is inarguably simple (albeit challenging, probably unfairly so) gameplay.
My biggest fear was not making the pixel art up to snuff before the deadline - downscoping saved my day!
Again, thanks!
5/5
I liked the cosmic horror vibe.
I'm very humbled you checked it out - thank you! :)
