What was great: The graphics, mechanics, user interface and a awesome color combination! Improvements: Animation of the main Character. You could have just squished/stretched him a bit, to give him a move animation. That would made everything more organic and would give the player a better feeling. Other things were all in all good! Hope you had a good jam! :)

Developer

I didn't really have a lot of time for the animations (mostly because I am a beginner at pixel art) and I also didn't want to add the squish and stretch to the mouse as I wanted to make it look metallic but it came out a bit rigid :P Anyway, thanks a lot for playing my game.

Great game! I like the unique interpretation of the theme and all the cute art! I wish there had been music though :( Otherwise, great job getting this done in just a week!

Great job on completing the game jam!

Good job, I would improve the movement a bit, it feels unresponsive most of the time, as well as add some background music.

Nice theme and art style and CUTE ending!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing my game. Your feedback means a lot to me.

Submitted

Hehe, fun ending. Thought I messed up for a moment there.

Solid stuff! Now I’m hungry for cheese.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing my game :)

When I stepped in jam the game seemed to just freeze :/ It would be nice to have a restart button since I mess up so much! xD

The ending was pretty cute! This game is a nice length too. Great game! By the way, you don't need an exit button in a WebGL game.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game :)

I actually understood that I don't need an exit button after the submission period was over :P

Submitted

cute little game, i really enjoyed the experience, specially the ending, it was very sweet hehe.

Now, i think the levels could do a little bit more, like... you can also move left, a level could be only  moving left, and others would need to move both ways.

Also i liked the idea of having limited rewinds, and I was thinking that they could be also a pickup in some levels hmmm...

Need to add soundeffects and a bit of music that's all.

Congratulations for making this game, if you update it... let me know :)

Developer

Thank you very much for playing my game and for taking the time to give it feedback.

As for the only able to move left mechanic, I was thinking of implementing it but it didn't really fit well with the levels with moveable objects, so I scrapped it...

Submitted

I enjoyed that way more than I expected to, in a good way! The ending was a surprise and actually had me invested in this mouse. Nice job!

Developer

Thank  you very much : )

Submitted

The game was AWESOME. I really enjoyed it . The sense of humor was on-point. The movement was really good but some more speed would have been better. Some background audio would have fitted the game better. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

Could you please take the time to rate my game too? Its not as good as yours but it would meana lot to me if you rated my game too.

Developer

Thanks for your compliments. I will improve upon the speed when I update the game. Thanks again :D

Submitted

Good game!. The game was simple but enjoyable, with some more time I would add some more sound effects (for example jumping) and background music that would add a lot of immersion to the game. I'd also increment the falling speed of the mouse, but just my opinion. I loved the pixel art that you've done. Great job overall!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing my game :D

Submitted

you nailed the theme so hard
it was short but memorable, especially the end
the jump detection is a tiny bit buggy
I love the art of everything
i wish there was more sound though
but this was a very cool game

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing my game. I will definitely fix the movement if I update the game : )

Submitted

Fun concept/story, and I like the simple pixel graphics. The wind-up indicators in the bottom right weren’t particularly useful as I had no way of knowing how long on was. Puzzles felt fine for a game jam, and while the movement could be a little slow I think it added to the overall feel of being a little windup mouse. Also personally I’m never a fan of floating text telling me what to do/making comments about the level, part of the pun of playing a game is figuring out what I can and can’t do. Overall though, a solid entry, nice work!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing my game and taking the time point out the shortcomings.

Submitted

Like the way the ending has a little story in it XD. the puzzle was a little too simple and movement feels a little rigid. great job nonetheless!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing my game :D

Submitted

I liked the cinematic feel that the ending had. The puzzle element was pretty simple, but that’s understandable because of this being a jam game. The movement could improve a little, because I find it a little too slow for my taste. Aside from that, I liked the game. I hope you can develop it further after the jam.

(By the way, you missed your opportunity of changing the label of the jam jar to a brackeys logo.. haha)

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks a bunch for playing my game. And thanks for the feedback and criticism

Also, I don't know why I didn't think of putting the brackeys logo on the jam jar. It's an amazing idea.

The Good:

  • Clarity - I liked that I was given instructions and introduced to the mechanics one by one. It was clear what I was supposed to do every level
  • Story - I liked the cute little story and the animation event at the end, makes the game feel complete

Could Improve:

  • Movement - movement felt a bit clunky and it took at lot of time to build up momentum. The jump was also bugged sometimes when I landed, and I couldn't press it again
  • Theme adherence - the idea of the theme is there, but in the end it's just a timer with a fancy name. I think you could've gotten more creative with it

Overall:

A sweet, short game. I think this was a nice side project you can add to your portfolio, and learn from it to create even better games in the future.

Edit: oh and I also recommend adding sounds or music into your game. It really makes games feel more alive.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the criticism. You are actually  one of the few people that actually give severe feedback. And thanks for playing may game :D

Submitted

I love the idea of a wind up mouse running around a kitchen instead of a real one. Nice and simple game play, I think the art was really cute, and it made me happy that the guy wound the mouse back up at the end :) I would love some simple background music and more sounds, but the sounds you did have were a nice touch. Good job! wish I had more levels to play :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing my game. And congratulations on coming first in the audio category of the game jam.

Submitted

I love the use of the theme and the art, if it just had music and sounds this would be even better!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game. If I update this game, I'll be sure to add a little music and more sound effects. :D

Submitted

Love the artwork, I just thinking its missing some sound or music to make it come alive more.

Developer

Thanks! I'm actually a beginner to pixel art so thanks for the compliment.

Submitted

This was really cool and a really cool way of interpreting the theme! I wish it was longer tho :)

Developer

Thanks! I didn't really have a lot of time for level design,  that's why the game is so short.

Submitted

The sprite art was nice and clear. and the mouse movement was good. but sometimes jumps were a little hard. When you have time, please check out my game too :D

Developer

Thanks for playing my game and for giving feedback : )
