Art was trully amazing. The story was gripping. The red potion tricked me in the first place :) Nothing bad to say. Good job!
fun and simple game! thought the red potion thing was for health but had to learn the lesson twice to actually remember
The art is amazing, but somethings were not intuitive at first, I though the red potion was health 😢 then I thought maybe its a 50/50 chance 😭
but overall, the game was fun, and somethings from the story could actually happen in real life 😖we don't know what we could unleash if the glaciers melt
Thank you very much for your review! It's nice to hear you've liked the story!
Yeah, we should've made some tutorial on potions, or change them to something else... I hope that didn't affect your experience that much.
Graphics and pixel art is really good, and, the concept is pretty cool! one thing i would change is making the changing the red potion sprite into a bomb or something; it got me a bit thrown off the first time since i though it was a health potion. But other than that, this a pretty good submission. Well done!
Thank you for your comment!
Yeah, we should've done smth with those potions, but we didn't stick to the schedule... Hope that it didn't ruin your experience!
nice little game i like the graphic ,the mechanics, Story and especially the music and the SFX ..Good Job
Thank you so much!!! We are happy you like it!
Nice that all pixel graphics are yours, I wish the lights were pixelated too :) But otherwise neat little game
Thank you very much for your comment! You are not the first to say that pixel lighting would look better haha. It felt a little weird in development, so we decided to use Unity's URP instead. But we'll try it in the future!
Incredible that it was all made from scratch minus fonts :D! I love the storytelling and especially little notes you can pick up. The environment is very cool, love the music, the SFX, the colour palette. I think if you adjusted the UI a bit so that the text doesn't keep flowing upwards, made the chemical vials look less like HP potions, and adjusted the sensitivity of the colliders for the spikes, it would really tie the whole thing together. It was difficult - but it was good! :D
Thank you very much for such a detailed review, it can really help us in improving this game! Maybe we'll fix those little flaws when the jam ends <3333
Nice game! I particularly enjoyed the really crisp sounds! Good work!
Thank you!!! We are really happy that you like our game!
This is actually really cool! The foreground elements were a nice touch. I do feel like pixellated lighting might look a little better but that's just me. The main menu is actually very relaxing too. Excellent entry!
Thank you so much!
Very fun game and the first one of the jam that I was able to "finish". Honestly was kinda confused why health potions would kill me but then I discovered the green ones were the positive ones. Oddly enough game wise Red potions are usually for HP and green is usually poison. opposite of usual safe and danger colors. Only criticism is I felt the typewriter text was far too slow to read everything in time before I reached the exit door or next note. Other than that: super solid!
Yeah, we should've made some mini tutorial for game mechanics to avoid confusion with those potions, but we had no time for that. Maybe we'll add it later. Same for text speed
Thank you for your feedback!
The door in this screenshot didn't work for me so I stopped there. Not sure exactly why it wasn't working...
Aside from that great game! I was intrigued by the story. The art and sound were both great, and the character controller didn't detract from the experience so great job! :)
Thank you so much for your feedback!
We haven't noticed any bugs here before, and we're sorry to hear that you've encountered that. Are you sure you picked up the key for the door (it's the blue floppy disk)?
Really nice! Maybe it's short and simple, but it seems very solid. Nice gameplay, sounds, and music. And it even has a story that we can all relate to! Cool game!
We are very happy you've enjoyed our game and its sfx! Thank you!
Nice game, the soundeffects are great!
Thank you for your comment!
Nice game, Nice story!
Thank you vey much for your feedback!
Very cool game, the notes added that little touch!
Thank you very much for your comment! с:
Great game the story behind it was really good.
Thanks for the feedback! We are glad to hear it
The notes were a great touch! i also liked the sound design
Thank you very much! We're happy to hear that
beautiful game i like the dark story of this labotary every time i saw a note ii read it all but the game could be more actio nif there's were some enemy fights (ik there's some enemies tbh i was scared when i saw the first one in the dark place ) good concept and sfx and storytelling maybe with some polishing the gam could be cool
Thank you so much for your feedback! Maybe we will polish it later!
i must say this was probably the most satisfying game i played up until now in this jam. The sound fx are pretty neat and well coordinated. The art really touches my soul and the story was awesome.
perfect job! ^^
Thank you for your feedback!!! It means a lot to us сc:
Great game, I loved the mood you created and the story it told. The slightly floaty mechanics also really conveyed the feeling of being underwater.
Thank you very much for your comment!! We are very happy you like the game! <33
