Judge feedback

  • This is just superb! Excellent puzzles, totally on-theme and great presentation. I like how the hue of the scene shifts slightly each time you retry it (and retry I certainly did!). On a big screen it was a bit of a mouse-race to click things fast enough, but I still totally enjoyed my time with this.

Wow great game! Had really fun playing this! Very well made and polished. Art and music fits also very well. Here is some minor feedback on how it could be even more improved:

  • Would be great if you had avatars for the dialogues. I was a bit confused at the beginning and did not realize who is who. I also did not get first that I am controlling the NPC and that I am not the guy running through the levels. Maybe it is just me, but I would make sure this is clear.
  • Somehow the font gets sometimes a bit blurry... I had a similar problem with Phaser and pixelart. When you scale up normal fonts it gets these blurry edges. I ended up using a bitmap font.
  • Playing it on a PC with a rather large screen is a bit difficult. Sometimes you have to flick the mouse pretty fast. I think it is much easier on a device with touch input. I was thinking of how to solve that and the only idea I had, was to assign every device and the NPC (to move and stop) a key on the keyboard. However, not sure if this is really a good solution. Maybe already having a keyboard control for the player and the rest you do with a mouse might do the trick.

Congratulations to this great game!

Really cool puzzle platformer, very strong visual design. I found the fonts a bit tricky to read at time as sometimes the edges of letters where almost faded out. On pc I think it might have helped if there was a button the stop the character if they're near an active intercom. As flipping between trying to press the character whilst they're running and turning on the power at the door can be tricky.  The story elements where also very good. All in all, great entry.

Great entry, great mechanics and quite refined gameplay for a 2 week jam game!

This really hit all the right spots with me, especially as someone who doesn't typically play a lot of puzzle games. This is a good mix of action/puzzle with just the right difficulty for this length and context also.

Only suggestion I could really make is that it would be nice to have some more music, esp a good contrast of slower, more ambient to contrast against the dancey, techno track.

Great job and very enjoyable!

Nice art! (I used the same asset pack in my game lol) Really clever use of the theme and I also appreciated that it was playable on mobile. Great work!
