Cool game! I liked the concept and the graphics were nice. It was really fun to play and I enjoyed the little touches like walking slower with some of the items and the items not being visible when you can't see in the room. Good job! :D

Developer

Cool that you liked the graphics and good to know that the weight and value difference give the game some strategy as intended.

Thank you for this good feedback and for playing.

cute and simple ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

Developer

Glad you liked it :-)

Adding a damage sound and animation would definitely enhance the ghosts' threat level, making encounters feel more intense. The unique concept and beautiful art really stood out, especially the player animation! Great effort overall—looking forward to seeing future updates!

Developer

Good to hear that you liked the Art and the Concept. The Player animation probably looks so good because it took me like half a day to do it right. The rest of the sprites didn't take me nearly as much time, but I am happy with how it turned out.

I definitely plan to do more with it because I think there is a lot of potential.

And thank you for your feedback and for playing my Game.

I think a damage sound and animation would help to make the ghosts more threatening since you could feel the damage they do more that way.

Developer

I wanted to add Sound effects and more animations, but I ran out of time, but I think that you're right about the threatening level. Might be something I'm going to do after the Jam.

But thank you for your feedback regardless, and playing my Game.

The idea is unique and the art is very beautiful, specially the player animation! About the gameplay, when I placed the dog on the portal, its sprite was increasingly bigger! I don't know it that was intentional, but eventually it covered the portal. I gave a few tries and got around that bug. Nonetheless, good game!

Developer

The Object getting bigger was not intended to happen, it should get smaller, but apparently you weren't even the only to encounter this bug. But good to hear that you enjoyed it, otherwise.

Nice game! I love style and game play, although at first, I did not know I can carry one object at time. Anyway, great amount of work is put in this game, and I think it is awesome 👍 

Developer

The Game never really explains to the player how the carrying mechanic works, but thank you for your kind words

Developer

Thanky you

the gameplay gets repetitive and slow otherwise it's a good pixel art and polished game

Developer

Yeah, there was more planned for this game, but this was what I ended up with, Glad you stilled liked it.

Thank you for playing

Nice game, but a bit slow, got about 3-4k and turned it off, thought there was nothing more to the game, saw your description that there are ghosts, played some more, ran from ghosts, got 4.1k. got game complete screen, haven't seen any storm.

Developer(+1)

The Ghost definitely could use some rework if I would continue the development, and there really isn't a Storm, it's more like a warning and if you don't listen to the warning you just die.

But that's pretty much i, I originally wanted this Game to have some more interesting features, but there was not enough time to add them.

And I should have playtested more.

But thank you for playing my game regardless, and I appreciate your feedback. With all your critiques, that's really useful to know.

Good job. However, you should really list your controls somewhere. It took me a minute to figure out which key to press to pick up items.

Developer

Thank you for playing and your feedback. On The Start Menu there is a “Help” Button and when you click on it, it shows you the controls, but in hindsight I should have named it “controls”.

Submitted(+1)

Not a huge issue. Actually, I just realized I didn`t list the controls for my game.

Simple game to pick up and easy to learn with opportunities for more advanced strategies swapping out items of different weights and costs.  Good job.

Developer

Good to know that the different weights and values work as intended. Thank you for playing and your feedback.

Cool idea! I especially enjoyed the style & animations of the robot; well done on making that from scratch!

Constructive feedback:

  • It took me quite a while until I encountered any ghosts - I feel like making it so that the player encounters them sooner (and potentially adding more ghosts) would result in them feeling like more of a threat.
  • I never felt a sense of urgency when encountering a ghost - I could take my time to outmaneuver it and make my way back to the portal. A potential idea could be that carrying an item would slow you down a bit more, so that you have to decide whether to drop the item, or take the risk and continue to the portal.

Overall, a really solid base that you can build on. Well done! I'm looking forward to checking it out again in the future if you plan on updating it further.

Developer

Thank you for your good and detailed feedback. 

I know that the Ghosts are in need of a few improvements, but your ideas are good.

But I definitely want to do more with the game after the Jam.

Thinks I would like to add, would be:

  • Multiplayer
  • More variety in Enemies (including Designs and behavior)
  • Better and more Visuals
  • Sound effects
  • And procedural generated maps to keep it interesting
  • More Layers to the Map like a cellar or a roof

I don't fully know how realistic this is, but it can't hurt to try

This game has a really great vibe to it! The animations on the robot feel really smooth and polished, movement feels great, I love the little touch you did with the lighting when you pass through a door.

I think this is a good base for a real atmospheric experience if you want to keep working on it after the jam!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game and giving me feedback on it. I had much more in Mind, like a local multiplayer or weapons for the Player, but the time was too short for me, to add all of these ideas into the game in time. However, I might do that later if it seems worth it.

why the things got huge when i put them in the portal

+what can i do with the money

Developer (1 edit)

Theres nothing you can do with the Money, it`s more like a Highscore. The Portal sucks the objects in and is supposed to make them smaller, but getting bigger is not supposed to happen. Seems to be a Bug.

Thank you for playing regardless and also for your valuable feedback
