Cool game, quite immersive.
cibtgratuulations! universe is now breab!!!!!!!
If it wasn't apparent, I absolutely loved this game. The creativity of the theme has genuinely set the bar higher for other submissions, and by leaning into the slapdash nature of the presentation, it looked incredible too. Very happy to have played it.
the fact you took the time to spell cibtgratuulations shows how much you liked this game more than any other series of words could, ty so much :D
I'm glad! It was really great and easily one of my favourites from the jam so far
Thanks! Fun fact, Oli asked me to type "congratulations" with my eyes closed and to keep typos (I'm not a touch-typer), and out came... that!
The music was great and the concept was funny. The platform fighting was okay, but I liked it. I could not play it in Brave Browser, had to switch to Chrome.
Yeah, Brave has trouble supporting some things, such as WebGL (this game was exported to WebGL, which is Unity for browsers). I was aware of the situation with Brave as Oli (co-developer) uses it. Based on what I could find on the Internet, it can/could be a number of things e.g. graphics cards not supporting it, Brave's settings, fingerprinting, etc., those which are out of my control. Sorry about that.
I'm sad there were too many bugs for me to experience the intended game. The music and the art are very appealing and I wish I could see what you were going for.
Or at least what the opening cutscene looked like
Originally, for the intro cutscene we wanted to parody Doom (dramatic subtitles, dip and spread etc) but later simplified to scrolling text. The outro cutscene showed all the planets in a panning shot with parallax and stuff as they all turned into bread, with a cut to black, followed by the “contgrabulatioons” screen. T’was epic
The outro cutscene doesn’t work, but the intro cutscene does work at a specific screenscale, no fullsceen. At least you’ll be able to see the text then so you can understand what I’m saying :/
I'll take your word for it. I'd play a post-jam version if you'll fix it.
Are you planning to make an unbugged post-jam version? (I will subscribe if you are)
We are. It PAINS me that I was able to make the cutscenes work with so little time left, only for them to only work at certain window scales, those of which aren't the same every time, AND I now know how to fix it.
Who should I subscribe to - you or Oli?
probably slingnut as it'll probably be on that account, not mine; im just the artist lol
Thank you for the clarification.
I like the art in the game. It reminded me of Cosmic Top Secret
Really nice artwork, sound design and gameplay. Was quite immersive. Nice job!
Thanks! We can thank Oli (co-developer) for the first two, the soundtrack goes WAY harder than it needed to.
me when
Interesting concept, funny game
comedy: the ultimate make things good-ifier
hehe, loved navigating to the different planets and turning people to bread. Sadly We don't get to eat 'em, but that'll be too vile lol. Great stuff! I felt the navigation controls at the start was tricky but quickly got used to it.
Thanks! Yeah, eating the bread would probably kill you from all those carbs! uh... and the whole cannibalism thing.
I had so much fun with this, also made me hungry, think I'll go eat some bread now
Just make sure bread doesn't eat you when the bakery overlords take over.
commander wholegrain is pleased
i really liked the idea and the concept, the controls are not the easiest thing to use but overall very good job! keep going !
Thanks, we gave it our all! Also yes, some things could definitely be tweaked in a post-jam update.
I quite like the the aesthetic of the game for some reason. Nice work!
its called intentional jank :)
I tried my best, considering I didn't do any of the art!
I am a bread roll now.
y e s
and soon, it shall all be bread.
wouldnt load for me :(
yea the file is real beefy :/
music is nice, style is funny, but for me mechanics was pretty hard to nail fast. good job! :)
yeah, we wanted to do a ksp esque space exploring thing; tried to communicate the fact that to take off you need to spiral rather than going straight up. ty :)
Thanks! yeah, it takes a bit of practice.
I like that it's both a pun and puts the player in the role of being an invading bad guy.
the galaxy shalt become bread
looking back, the Idea may have been a bit half-baked!
Gameplay was interesting, the theme seems to be a stretch for role reversed in my opinion haha..
As an exercise we brainstormed game idea for previous GMTK themes and found that they sounded the most fun when they followed the theme in an unconventional (or somewhat stupid) way, thus the idea of during something with a bread "roll" started to form. Although the reversing bit was kinda forced a bit later with the title/narration. One other title idea that came up during the process was "Into The Breadverse" lol.
The game wouldn't load for me on Chrome
yea its a real beefy file :/
