Very fun game !
The way you integrated the theme is very clever, the visuals are simple but still pretty good esthetically speaking with a solid understanding of colour harmony, framing and pretty pleasing FX when clicking.
The atmosphere is pretty good, helped by the visual style and music matching very well.
There isn't much game, it is more of a narrative experience but it works really well!
The use of clicking as a mean to advance the story is a good idea, works well and is well executed.
But there is one thing that annoyed me a little, the clicking SFX is spatialised and i can hear something clicking in my left ear but not my right one !!! >:((((((((
Anyway of all the games i've played this jam i believe you're a solid contender for first place !
Also if you have time could you please rate my game ?
It's no more than 2 ~ 5 minutes to complete.
Thx i will review that sfx.. I would play your game but i only have a macbook :(
Should still work !
It s basically shapes and that's about it but maybe if you lag you might not be able to get the best experience since rythm is a fairly important aspect of the game.
I mean there is no .dmg installer.. only linux and windows
The graphics is nice, the sound design are nice too. I like how the cup and the photo float around like it is in actual space.
The game idea is very interesting, a guy who stuck in the time loop is very cool, kinda like mines.
Wish it have more to it tho, the game felt kinda short, it very feel like it going to have some different after the first loop.
But overall, nice game!
This is a very funny game, the idea is gorgeous, I laughed the whole game!
Paradox Coffee has a great sense of humor and an intelligent and well-constructed scenario with a good dose of absurdity. The gameplay could use some improvements to make it more engaging. The graphics are stylish and the effect of weightlessness is well done and funny. Overall, the game has a good concept but could use some improvements in the gameplay to make it more engaging.👍
The biggest problem with this is that I told myself I'd rate and comment on all my commenters games before making more coffee IRL and I failed almost instantly.
I love that the visual feedback of the light on the coffee machine translated into the ship, and the cat picture and coffee cup flying about was a nice touch. I think it could benefit from more of an 'idle' element after a certain point, but i was engaged enough to persist to the end of a second cup of coffee.
I liked it and thought the narration was a great way to keep me engaged, and the mechanics were intuitive enough that I figured it out without any exposition. I would have liked maybe a specific button instead of a click anywhere mechanic, but overall it's a great idea and I'm glad I played it.
I LOVE COFFEE!!!
Is what I would be saying if I actually loved coffee.
This game truly shows the absolute gall of coffee lovers, in that they would bend time and space to their own whim in order to just continuously sip the same cup of coffee over and over again relentlessly until the indefinite end of all time and space (which is probably never) inevitably catches up with them.
It's a sad and pitiful story when you really think about it, as I have. Even though I am not a fanatic of coffee, I can still adore the message that this game attempts to get across.
It does it in a way, and a writing style, I completely respect. It does it in a way where it almost attempts to guise itself as being exactly for those who enjoy a good cup of coffee, those lovers of coffee that would absolutely KILL for coffee, those weak-minded fools who are so addicted to a drug-like substance such as caffeine that they are too far gone. It points at them and it laughs. It laughs because it has played all sides of the field, it need not pick a side of the fence, as it has picked both sides in a form of double agent chicanery. On one side it is defending coffee, pretending to be amongst coffee enjoyers. On the other it satires it and plays jokes on it's philosophy.
Truly a game to behold. If only it had more to it and there were more story to experience involving this poor soul looking to endlessly sip coffee throughout time and space. Perhaps through their journies they've encountered different outcomes where they must face demons of their past or other tormented souls in their endless pursuits of coffee? It would be very interesting, to say the least, and an adventurous story that keen listeners are sure to indulge in.
it would be a great idea for a sequel :D
GREAT review, thanks :D
Visually I liked it a lot, also the concept. It needed to add improvements, but for now, within my favorites of the Jam.
I really enjoyed this. Very entertaining, great theme
/ idea. Would coffee again...and again...and again.
