Easily one of my favourite submissions so far. It's great all around. The idea is amazing and it's also amazingly executed. The general aesthetic of the game is cohesive and prefect for the feel of the game. The sound design and music fits the genre of this game perfectly. Amazing work. 5 stars across the board!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. Really means a lot for the team. <3
One of the top 20 games that Mark Brawn will definitely choose! Great work!👌🏻
Thank you so much Amin!
This is pretty interesting idea and interpretation for the theme of out of control :) Great job
Thank you so much! :D
Loved it! Great idea and execution - nicely balanced difficulty, and gorgeous pixel art!
Top marks across the board :)
Hey, that means a lot! Thanks <3
LOVED the idea. Great art and music. Nicely done!
Thank you! :D
This is really great! the gameplay idea and graphics are good. nice job
Thanks a lot <3
Cool idea, nice taking a "top down shooter" and make it so it more of a non shooting puzzle game"! Good job!
Thank you so much! We're calling it a Involuntary shooter :p
Great idea! The art and music in this one is phenomenal. There was some jank in controlling the laser direction in the web version, but that may have been issues with the mouse on my end..
Thank you for playing and for the feedbacks. We're hoping to upload a bug-fix version after the jam rating period ends at sunday.
its so funny and original, it has some bugs but its awesome
Thanks for playing! We have already solved some of the major bugs but unfortunately we cannot upload a new version until Sunday when the rating period for the jam ends :(
yeah same on our side, we hope to upload a web version and some fixes after rating period :)
Nice! Will be looking for it :D
This was really fun and the mix of office and laser was very fun. Could see this happening in my office (someone shoots lasers out of his eye, just one of those things I guess). Got stuck on boss room, changing camera messed mouse pointer quite basdly, but still I got through. Amazing job
hahahah, hey thank you so much for playing! We have already solved that bug but unfortunately we cannot upload a new version until Sunday when the rating period for the jam ends :(
good one! it has its own style
thanks a lot <3
Wow this was really fun! played for so long that the music eventually cut out. Apart from that bug, it's a pretty fun to play game with amazing visuals and sounds.
Thanks!
The music cutting out was a bug with the engine in the web version. We were unable to fix it because we submitted reaaaaly close to the deadline :/
Very impressive and fun game for a short jam!
Thanks a lot! It helps when the team has already made others gamejams together.
Loved playing this. The whole concept is great and executed well with great music!
thanks a lot <3
Great environment, I really like how there is all of these small details going on. I found the camera a bit buggy and it killed me a few times, but the gameplay was solid.
Thanks a lot! We only realise the camera problems after the submission time ended. Sunday we'll post an updated build! By the way, loved your game, congrats on that! :D
We almost went with an idea like this, and I'm glad we didn't because you did it so well! The aesthetic, music, and humor from NPCs are on POINT. Great job!
Thank you soo much! I'm glad you guys abandoned the idea too because i loved your game Twi-Timin' Towers :p
Thanks so much :) Glad you enjoyed!
Now this is great fun! The concept definitely has legs to stand on, and the aesthetics is great, massive credits to both the sound and art people! That saxophone music really hits well!
The core mechanic of having a massive eye-laser leads to some creative puzzle situations, and you've laid out levels that clearly take advantage of it. However, not everything is exactly smooth - at the start of the level, your initial mouse position can doom an attempt, making some levels unbeatable until the 2nd try. There are also some issues with the camera, as not being able to see the whole level leads to puzzles being hard to piece together. The moving camera also has issues, especially when it jumps - I ended up frying some poor office worker several times because the camera jump re-positioned my eye beam right on top of them!
More levels, couple of bug fixes, and a camera rework later this jam project could turn into a real gem!
First of all, thanks a lot for the detailed feedback. We already fix some of the major problems including the camera but we're not able to upload a new version until the jam ends next sunday. Thank tou so much! The whole is thankful <3
Great job! the game is very fun to play. Didn't expect it to be so puzzle-like.
If you have some time, please check and rate our game.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! Will play your game right away :)
Looks like an action game but plays like a puzzle! Was surprised
We're having a hard time categorizing it, I think we can call it an involuntary twin-stick shooter xD
This is amazing! Had so much fun
glad you had fun, thanks for playing! <3
