Great game!
The only problem is that it's way too short (and doesn't make any sounds) I could play for hours!
you have now given me a new project idea! :)
5 Star fun!
GG
Thanks so much! Yeah, we’re really sad we didn’t have time to add more levels (and music + sound effects). We unfortunately were only available for a couple of days during the jam, so we were just about out of time when we were done implementing the core.
But don’t worry! We have already made improvements and are working on creating more levels and sound! We will update the game page once the voting period is over and we are allowed to!
Unique mechanic you've got here! I like how each level ends with grabbing your head, which is kind of funny when it's just popped back off for the next level! Good work!
Haha, yeah, we would have liked to include some kind of cutscene or something to explain why you are back to being separated from your body again, but didn’t get around to adding that in time, thus the abrupt transition.
Glad you liked the game!
Really unique and interesting mechanic. I think the controls made it harder to play, but the potential of such a mechanic is quite high!
Do try out our game, while a different kind of puzzle, the robot looks kinda similar lol :D
Thank you! The controls were a tricky balancing act, since we couldn’t use the normal look + strafe controls for obvious reasons. In a way, the tricky controls were intentional, but I agree that it could be slightly frustrating at times.
We had a bunch more puzzle ideas for future levels, but unfortunately ran out of time.
One of us will definitely try out your game soon!
Very interesting and fun game mechanic!
Thank you!
Great game loved the way you did it! No audio!!!
Thank you!
Re: no audio, I know :( We really wanted to add some audio (and a bunch more levels), but ran out of time after implementing the core gameplay and those first two levels. We also ran into technical difficulties getting the mirror and lighting to work properly with the web build, and ended up submitting with less than five minutes to spare. Let’s just pretend the robot head’s audio processors are malfunctioning :)
Was a little confused at first that I controlled the robot I was looking at. Maybe if the player started the game while looking through the window at the body it would have clicked quicker.
Really cool idea though!
Totally fair. Originally the mirror you start looking at was bigger, which made it even more confusing, so we shrank it.
We wanted to quickly convey that you were a head separated from your body, and to be able to show the player a bunch of tutorial text, which is why we start you looking at that wall with the mirror. We hoped the text on the left “your body is just behind that door to the left” would alleviate any confusion, but if we had more time we would definitely tweak the way the initial tutorial information is delivered to the player.
Glad you liked it otherwise though!
