Delightful, the evolving stroy and keeping track of your previous score makes you think just 1 more round.

Developer

I love to hear that the game is addictive. I promise not to add lootboxes :) Than you mate!!

Submitted

Funny and unique. Looks good too. How do you do that shaking effect with the text? "Katana Zero" used a similar effect.

Developer(+1)

Thank you mate!! Actually it is a very simple effect, you move rondomly the camera around a point with a maximum distance. Here you have the tutorial that I followed:

This game had a good and original concept. I like the escape key.

Developer

Thank you mate, I am glad to read that, thank you :)

Something that I would like to add is some kind of tutorial in the first game you play, but you kown, the time limit hahaha. Anyway, if in the end you had a good time I am satisfied. Thank you mate for your comment!

Funny and original idea! Good job! :)

This is a really fun game and great narration! It looks really professional with the screen shake and other animations :) I somehow got to a point where the key I was meant to be using was v but I actually pressed e to generate the letters, so not sure how that happened. Also like the fact that pressing esc just immediately ends the game haha. Great work!

If you get a chance any feedback on my game would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Developer

A friend told me about the same error, but I can't reproduce that error, it is a bit weird. I guess it might be caused by pressing some keys in a specific moment of the dialogs. I am sorry that this happened to you, but if it didn't avoid you have fun with the game I am happy.  Thank you mate for the comment. I played your game and is really good.

This game is really good! It has tons of character and is really unique. Easily one of my favorites in the jam. Excellent work!

Developer

I already play yours and I have to say that it is one of my favourites too, so I really appreciate your words dude. Thanks you a lot!!!

Submitted(+1)

This is your first jam game??? WOW!! The story was funny in the best way, the sound effects were wonderful (especially how there were two sound effects for dialogue, and when the escape key got angry it got higher pitched - loved that), and the gameplay and graphics were amazing! No complaints, really!

Developer

Yeah, it is my first jam, but I have made some little games before. I love to read that, thank you so much!!

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept! i really like the visuals and the text in the game is super funny :) For a game you play with just one key, good job! :)

Developer

Thanks you a lot!! I am glad to read that :)

Submitted

Hey! I can't play your game cos I'm on mac but honestly the game looks so good just based on the screenshots and gif. So I'm leaving a rating based on that! One thing about the visuals though the words keykey on the logo seem a bit harsh and doesnt really fit in with the whole look. But I love the model of the key, did you make it?? :O

Also if you could check out my browser game I would really appreciate it! https://dezilim.itch.io/shrink-me

Do you think you could compile a webgl version so more people can play it? It looks really fun I really wanna play it lol:(((((( 

Developer(+1)

I definitely should have made a WebGL version as many of the participants have done. As it's my first game jam it's something that never occurred to me, in fact I've never made a WebGL build hahahaha. Rookie mistakes, I'll keep it in mind for next time. I will upload a video of the gameplay if you want to see it better, and when the voting is over I will upload a version that works on Mac so you can try it. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for everything!!

Submitted

Yeah!! Normally the webgl build is also easier to make, when exporting from Unity just select webgl and afterwards you just have to compress all the files that exits. Definitely, would still love to try out your game after the voting ends! 

Developer(+1)

Yes, I did everything form scratch, except the music and sounds. The key model is really simple and was easy to made. It's true that the "funky" title style don't fit very well with the rest of the game, but you know, the time is limited hahahaha. And sure, I am gonna play your game :), thank you mate

Developer(+1)

More people told me that can't play the game because are using MacOS, so if upload a MacOS version if you wanna try it https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Ty1MRFpp4Dama_Fbk8HZiPBcoUncwKN/view?usp=shari...

If Resetti from Animal Crossing could be embodied as an Escape Key, this is it. Actually funny, which is often harder than making a good game. You really know how to convey a tone and emotion, and I love it when the letters spill out after loosing.


The gameplay itself wasn't super invigorating, but I slowly started to get the hang of it, and I didn't mind failing so I could progress the "story".

Developer

I couldn't agree with you more, especially about Resetti hahahahaha. I am glad you had a good time, thank you!!!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool concept and amazing polish, much like other comments I also think this would make a fun steam game!

Developer

Thank you so much, I really apreciate it :)

Submitted(+1)

this is a very well done game! if you polish this right, add some puzzles or different mechanincs, this can be a STEAM released game! this game me  THE STANLEY PARABLE vibes great job! 5 stars

Developer

Two people suggesting me to make a steam version? I'm definitely going to have to give it some serious thought hahahahahaha. Stanley Parable? Those are very serious words. I really apreciate your comment, thank you so much!!

Submitted(+1)

yeah like when you get 2 people to recommend your game to steam, you know you have a hit in your hands, if you take this I'm the right direction, this will definitely be a hit in the future, thank you for letting me experience this amazing game

Developer(+1)

you are welcome, I'll make you know if there is a Steam release hahaha thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Submitted(+1)

Such a polished and original game! I really like the humor and the personality of these poor keys.

Great job!

Developer

I am very happy to read that dude, because is seems that the idea works. Thank you so much!!

Submitted (1 edit)

btw if you polished this up, it could easily be released on steam. just sayin ;] Game deserves more attention!

Developer(+1)

I really would like it, I have a lot of ideas that I had to discard because of the time limit, and I think that it really improve the experience. If I decide to continue polishing the game I will make you known. Thanks so much for your support!!

Submitted(+1)
