!!!!! Broooo~ haha loved it
Thank you :D
Phenomenal work on this, really enjoyed the minigames and I also got a nice surprise (thanks to all commenting that left it vague enough XD). Very nice complexity and all around the same theme of lock-picking. The "Tab" for instructions really helped. Congratulations! Also, I was impressed with the complexity of your 1,2,3 tasks, making more and more use of the audio cues. Amazing work all around!
Thank you!
DAMN IT, I did not expect that ending! Really fun and well designed puzzles, the audio cues are very essential. I like that all vault mechanics are clearly explained and that I could check the explanations at any point. Well done!
I actually played this game on my youtube channel, you can watch it here.
gosh dang it lol. I have been bested at my own game. Thank you!
Fun game, love the narration. Struggled with the mechanics as my ear is not really good and had a hard time identifying trigger. Fun idea, congrats for submitting !
Thank you!
Great game. I liked the variety you put into the puzzles. It was a lot of fun.
Thank you!
Dude you really killed this. The little surprise at the end was hilarious, too. The voiceover and tutorials really brought it all together. One small nitpick is that the option to progress dialogue seemed to be on a consistent timer, so there were times there was a long pause after dialogue or you could progress fast enough to have dialogue overlap. Small enough thing to not dock you any points, though. I can see this being top ten!
I loved the intro and writing, especially the four finger joke which I just found hilarious. If I had a suggestion it would be to try some more click samples or more "safe picking" sounds ... haha not that I'd know what that would sound like, but the beeps were a little generic and exploring some things that might fit the theme closer would be interesting. Thanks for submitting! I personally loved the pixel art.
Thank you! That is a really good point. I think it was near the end of the jam and I just didn’t have that much time to change it but I do understand more clicks and rattles would have been better
Yay, you got it submitted!
Something I appreciated was how every lock was unique so the gameplay stayed fresh, even though it was really simple. The audio cues were well used and effective. A very nicely made game.
A tip for pixel art is to make sure that all of your pixels are on the same scale, for example in this one pixel in the hand is bigger than one pixel on the dial lock which is much smaller than the pixels making up the folder. This means in Unity to make sure that no gameobject with a pixel art sprite renderer should be scaled and that every sprite should have the same pixels per unit. Having every pixel the same will make them look a lot better. (Make sure to them measure the canvas size you need before you start to create the art so that you don't create something the wrong size and have to redo it (more work) or scale it (looks bad)).
Sorry if that was a bit much, literally a tiny nitpick and not affecting my rating at all, just something to consider.
Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I’ll need to experiment with it for my next entry, if there is one anyway lol
