It was really fun to play, I don't liked when the instructor reseted the game, you're mean ! :')
The only thing that annoyed me was the little resolution of the window but that's not the most important thing, good joob !
If you have some time, I would really appreciate if you can rate my entry too https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/476727 Have a nice day !
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it! I didn't want to bother with different screen resolutions, sizes and aspect ratios. I could have made it possible to change the size of the window without changing the aspect ratio, but didn't have time for a settings menu.
Will definitely check out your game! I got in to make a game and also try and rate as many entries as possible!
Easily my favorite game out of all the games I have played for this game jam, I love the humor in it and all of the different endings. I'll be sure to check out your other games too:)
Thanks for playing! Very happy to hear it's your favorite game out of everyone else! I don't hear that often especially when they are hundreds (even thousands) of other good games in the same boat as mine, but when I do, it just makes me want to make more!
Heads up: I forgot to put this in the description, but I actually recorded all 7 days of me making this game for the Jam. So once it's ready, there will be a video on my YouTube channel of me making Instrucdoors and explaining my process!
This is a fun little game, I love the energy in the voice acting I think it fits the theme really well. I especially like that it is a friendly narator who does genuinely seem that they are just trying to show you their fun game. I also love going back through that you can see the forshadowing on different plot points. While the controls are clunky sometimes I really like the narrative aspect of the game, great work!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! I am honestly surprised on how good I managed to link all the plot points together, because I did pretty much all dialogue lines on the fly without thinking about the rest of the paths.
The game is really fascinating and simple (in good way of saying it), I've enjoyed listening voiceovers and killing 'unkillable' green creatures. It would be great to have dialogue/cut scene skipping, so you won't listen for the same lines over and over again:)
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! I was planning to add a way to make the dialogue faster by holding down a button and also add an alternate first level with less lines, but I ran out of time before I could add those. College got in my way.
I like the story and the voice over. The humour is great. Overall a great game.
The was some small issues:
- Sometimes the voice overs volume is so low, that I can't hear what is being said for the music.
- Jumping do not always work, especially when standing near the each of the platforms.
- I would like to be able to skip dialog, especially dialog I have already heard.
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! I did all of the voice over on the fly, so I didn't have time to adjust the volume on most of them. My friend gave me the idea so you could skip the dialogue by making it faster, but of course, ran out of time.
I agree that sometimes jumping at the edges can be a pain (and time of course didn't help me fix that.) Though once you get the hang of it it's not that bad in my opinion.
Like I said, it was only small issues.
Great naration ! I love you humor !
I really had a fine time playing it
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! Happy to hear that my humour is great! (especially when done on-the-fly and on a rush XP)
Very funny game! Really enjoyed! The narration was very nice! Awesome submission!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! It was the first time I tried narration with voice acting (by myself), so hearing it was great and funny really makes me happy!
Hah, fun game! Enjoyed the narration (I definitely killed the slime the first time lol) Runs great on macOS! Love the color palette, character design, level layouts, gameplay mechanics and light story. Controls feel tuned. Rated - awesome jam entry!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it! It's definitely hard to make something that looks good, feels great and makes sense when linked all together (like a multi-ending story) especially in a single week. Hearing how well I did my job here is for me a sign of a bright future in game development!
The audio is and I could reach six different ending really nice games great job
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it! Congrats on finding 6 out of 7 endings!
Really nice game, a lot of fun. I could reach 6 differents end.
The audio sound is a great plus. The control are fine but could be improve.
Some critics incoming, I like this game a lot, more you like, more you are picky. For other, don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.
The "maze" is not a maze, you have only one path>I guess related to liar narratorThanks for playing and giving some detailed feedback! Don't worry, I can handle critics!
Anyway, thanks for the detailed critics! Taking some notes here to not forget stuff next time!
Their is a way to go for the second door on the first level ?
Notes taken about that narrator stuff. Will take it into consideration if I make another game with something similar.
Actually, my door system should be A-OK to create a maze like that! Would create a massive chaos of scenes in my project files, but it's possible!
I don't think I quite understand the sword issue. Slimes' swords work, so you mean that you just can't attack with it? Have you tried pressing E with the sword in hand?
About that second door. It does absolutely nothing as of now. I had planned to add a whole other path with completely different endings in that second door, but as you may have guessed, I ran out of time.
Loved this game and finding every way possible to disobey the hilarious narrator. Not jumping in the holes and his response being despairing was a great surprise. The controls feel tight and responsive, the visual style is simple but appealing and the music is catchy, and I'm a sucker for anything with multiple endings. Sweet game all round!
Thanks for playing! Glad you loved it! I did everything myself, so it warms my heart hearing positive feedback like yours <3
Just makes me want to do more cool stuff!
Pretty cool game for this game jam. I had fun playing it. I liked every aspect of it: music, visuals, humor, etc... Great job! Rated.
Check out our game, we would like to read some feedback https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/477169
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed all parts of it! Did everything alone, so seing tons of positive feedback from lots of people makes me want to create more stuff!
I'll be sure to play and rate your game!
This was sooo cool to play.
I love the narrator humor sense and enjoyed trying to find all different quotes on every room.
Good job!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! The narrator took a lot of time to make, but it was 100% worth the effort in my opinion!
Great game! It seems like you made a different ending depending on in which room you disobey plus a couple more, which must have been quite some work. I think my favourite is moving so fast that the narrater can't finish his sentences.
For those wondering, the surprise is definitely worth replaying the game a bunch of times until you follow all instructions correctly. Some improvements would be:
Thanks for playing my game! Really happy that you enjoyed it! Yes, all of those endings took some work,and that "go too fast" ending is one of my favorite too!
About the sword dropping only on the first slime, no, this isn't a bug. I think I could have made the slime look a bit different to know that only it could drop it. Didn't have time, of course.
Very humorous game, Unique to see a game with voice acting and all. Interesting premise and all, the biggest disappointment was probably that the other door in the first room didn't lead anywhere. Also, the sword was probably kinda a waste of time as it didn't really change the game in any way. Still wondering what that thing in the labyrinth room was.
Overall a very solid entry
Thanks for playing my entry! Glad you enjoyed it! All of the voice acting took a whole day to record + cut and all the dialogue was done on the fly. Basically, I created a story by accident XD
I originally planned to make a second path with that second door. Sadly, I ran out of time. It would have led to WAYYY different endings.
I added the sword last minute to at least add a tiny something to make one more ending. It could have come more useful in that second door, but as I said, didn't have time to make it.
Now, about that thing in the labyrinth.... Yeah, I'm a big selloff. That's referencing my other big game project currently ongoing on my GameJolt profile. I had to do it XP
I KILLED AN UNKILLABLE SLIM !!
I swear they were unkillable... XD
Thanks for playing!
Amazing game man, managed to find the secret surprise. It was really fun!
Thanks for playing! Good job finding that surprise ;) Glad you enjoyed it!
Intro is really really good!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the intro! I had a lot of fun doing it!
That was a fun entry! I really liked the voice-over it added a lot of fun to the game! The bouncy jump felt a little awkward to control at times, but otherwise the movement felt really nice! I unfortunately got stuck on the level with the painting because the door out wouldn't work for me :( But well done on this entry you did a great job! :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed my entry! I remember my friend getting stuck at the painting level too. Moving out of the door and getting back in fixed that issue for him. I noticed it too late to fix this bug, unfortunately... :/
