Winner of the jam right here!!!
Mindblowing game, you guys nailed it. Thank you so much for this, it was really fun to play and a great learning experience for me!
What an absolute delight to play. Lots of content, few and well developed mechanics to create loads of interesting puzzles. You have to reason by deduction, induction, it's all there. All of the puzzles, bar none, were excellent. And the tutorials being deduced first then explicitly explained with the note was great too. For instance, I hadn't understood Jimpossible. The note clarified. And because the notes are bite sized, it's very likely people will read them.
Graphics are coherent. Animation is great. You have a small bug in one of the last levels, where a wall renders on top of the Jims. But it's a 5/5 in graphics from me for sure.
Audio is creepy and works. I just don't dig the sample you picked for Jim dying. That sort of eek screech.
The theme has been explored on many levels. But, knit picking a little, it's a bit of a stretch to refer to the demon at the end as "the game". Still, excellent work.
The work of pros. Well done.
This is an exceedingly kind review. In addition, while my artist was busy playing literally every game posted in a thread of his, he noticed a comment left by you on a completely different entry suggesting that its creator try our game as well.
So, I don't really know what to say, beyond the obvious, "thank you," and, "glad you enjoyed yourself". We're all flattered. In fact, had you not included some constructive criticism, I might not have survived reading this.
I think the best thing to do is to pay your generosity forward!
I would love it if anyone else happening by this comment would play and rate the two most creative entries that I've personally enjoyed so far:
Late Lies https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/477163
Totally Not a Summoning https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/473901
And of course, if anyone hasn't yet, please try out in Principle Games' Flatout Drillin' https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/476942
I'm certainly going to!
I played it till the end! It's quite enjoyable, one of the best that I've played and the puzzles are well designed. Is there only 1 ending though? I really like the mechanics while the art and sound effects are really good! It requires very high brightness to play though, so maybe you can readjust the sprites color in the future :)
Anyways, there's a sprite sorting order bug in one of the later levels(I forgot which, it's around the bottom left area) :D
We had plans for a "good" ending but didn't have quite enough time to implement and test it properly before the deadline. It's something we're probably going to add after the rating period is over.
That's helpful feedback, thank you! I didn't really know how much leeway to give with the brightness, so I'm glad that you were still able to finish the game.
We actually are recently aware of that goofed tile sprite placement. We were hoping no one else would notice before we could fix it, but there's no getting by you!
Nice art and a unique puzzle mechanic, I like it quite a bit.
This is legit one of my favs now! So well polished, great artwork and immersive sounds, great puzzle mechanics, honestly this felt like a full game- not just a gamejam. My only complaints would be the Jim hitboxes sometimes being annoying to get around and I wasn't sure if you could walk through half doors? (Sometimes I could, sometimes I couldn't) But honestly this game was amazing all round- seriously good job man!!
Good work, I really loved your game, it was a very interesting mechanic to think through and the spooky feel matched well with everything else in the game. Thought at some parts I felt like killing Jims to find out which was the real one was faster than solving the riddles. If you feel like it try our game out too <3
I played till lvl 9 where red button on the left did not work(Bug ?) what caused lvl 9 to be unbeatable nonetheless the game is really good i loved it.
Wow, I just played it till the end. This game was so fun to play. I like the concept of the game you should make it a full game. Everything in this game is awesome. The atmosphere is on point. The music and visuals on point. That ambiance matches so well with the game. I do really hope you continue this. Overall a well thought, polished and really really fun game. Recommend to play till the end.
Thank you so much!
We were actually worried that not enough people would play all of the way through to the end, so it's great to hear that a few have. We have one update planned for after the jam, just to get the game to a more "finished" state (bugfixes, puzzle enhancements, level select, etc). But, hey, after that, who knows!
