  • I like the little bits of story, not overly long or overpoweringly silly, just enough weird to make it ok. I think the color options of the game are really neat and a great touch, it is sad none of the sound settings seem to matter as there is no actual sound in the game. It seems a little unclear about how to actually get anywhere once you are on patrol though, like some of the jumps even with shift sprint just seem impossible or to go no where. Obviously not in a finished state, but what is there looks cool and was fun while I played it. Will be nice to see it get some more work when the jam is over.

What do you like about your game?
The story. Also Greg and janitor.

Platforming is challenging but a lot of fun and the bouncing to respawn feels very creative! I also liked the little death animation with the grim reaper, this game has a lot of personality. Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much. The bouncing respawn caused me some trouble but indeed feels good.

Really liked the art direction for a lot of the things, the text appearing and how the missions were stablished, it really drew me in! The story was getting interesting, I really wanted to know more about Cicada apocalypse hahaha! Gj overall!

Thank you so much... I agree, it would have been a lot better if i spent more than 3 days for this game. Tutorial, sounds, respawn system, more platforming, more mechanics... A lot of things were planned. Nevertheless, thank you so much!

Pretty cool game! I think a tutorial would help the intro go by a lot faster. I didn't know how to open any doors so it took me quite a while to get to the platforming. The platforming was pretty nice though. It was challenging but whatever respawn system you have in place prevents it from being frustrating. However, I did manage to get into a position where I was bouncing up and down, dead. The respawn was not working for some reason, and I was in a dead lock. I think audio would've added a lot, but the art style was good. Overall, it was a nice game.
