Good job!
Super cool project, if you added a timer and the ability to change menus while doing an action you could have a mechanically hard puzzle/platformer that I would watch a speedrun of.
Very interesting idea! Thanks for playing our game :)
This is genuinely brilliant! Super fun, easy to understand and really clever!
Thank you so much for playing, we are glad that you enjoyed our game! <3
La scrivo in italiano visto i nomi del team ^^ Ottima idea! Ti obbliga a pensare in maniera del tutto diversa dai soliti giochi. I puzzle sono ben fatti, l'estetica mi piace. Ottimo lavoro ragazzi!!!
Grazie mille! Siamo lieti che il gioco ti sia piaciuto :D
PS: Complimenti ancora per la vostra idea!
Great idea and creative take on the theme. I had a lot of fun figuring out the mechanics
Thank you so much!
Unique mechanics and well-designed level.The last one took me sometime to figure it out and that was really enjoyable!
Thank you so much <3
Really cool idea! I got a bit confused at the beginning because I thought I had to guide the little robot to the exit but I soon figured it out. Nice job!
Thank you very much! <3
You blow my mind! that was a great idea, well done! This also makes me think in a different direction for my own game! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! Loved your game :D
That was so good, sad that it's so short.
Definitely hidden gem I was looking for playing games in this Jam. Art has good and unique style, clever and interesting mechanics.
Hope you'll make full version of this game.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are definetly going to update it post jam :D
Since the start of the evaluation period we started to collect all players' feedbacks and we have now a clear idea about how to upgrade the project!
Loved it. My initial reaction to the tutorial box moving instead of the player was a moment. My only issue comes from the awkwardness of the controls -- how you have to completely stop in order to switch controls, and how awkward it can be sometimes to get around. Don't know how you'd get around that either though.
Thank you so much for playing our game!
The issue you encountered is pretty common, in part it is caused by the fact that "Input to Action" is a puzzle game and not a platformer, despite its ambiguos (intended) appearences, so the capability to switch in a frenetic way is not a really required feature. Anyway, on the other hand our controls are too much restrincting, and we'll work to solve that post jam! :D
The level setup was creative, but I got confused at the beginning for a while about which character I was and how it worked, the character shifts changed with the description cards, so I'd recommend that some polish could be done for the game in the future
Thank you so much! We are collecting feedback to upgrade and polish the game post jam! :D
i really liked teh concept even if i found a bit uncomfortable to play since i don't have arrow keys. The puzzles where fun but in some cases i think the "plataforming" was a bit frustrating and i don't think thats good for a puzzle game. if you made teh jumping and timing stuff easier it wouldn't distract the player from the puzzles.
Thanks for you feedback! We are happy for the fact that you enjoyed our game despite all these issues, we hope they haven't ruined the complete experience for you!
no deff. didn't ruined it it was great.
Thanks again, we'll work hard to solve all the issues you reported after the jam. :)
Top marks from me. This is very clever. The subverted expectations of controlling the menu might not survive a full game on its own but by adding new twists and mechanics like the pause menu puzzle I can see this being expanded in to a full release.
Thank you so much! We are glad that you are investing these kind words on our project <3
You've got a really solid foundation for a puzzle game here. I could imagine this getting super complicated and tricky real fast in some very fun ways. Can't wait for more levels!
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are aware of this and even other issues, we are willing to release a post-jam update in order to solve all these problems signaled through comment like yours. We are glad you played our game!
I haven't played as the tutorial yet in this jam; this game is great! I'd love to see it expanded on post-jam. It's sometimes difficult to do actions quickly because they have to be toggled through. Maybe they could all be active at once? That would change the game significantly, though. Great game!
Very interesting idea, thanks for the inspiration! We we'll surely take this into account when polishing and expanding the game in the future.
Also we are aware of the issues you are reporting, and we'll be happy to solve them in a post-jam relese. Thanks for playing <3
Nice work. A little bit harder due to switching controls, but my brain is definitely stronger. :)
Ha ha, didn't expect that! VERY creative. Really enjoyable as well! This seems like straight out of the "Out of Control" game jam XD
My only criticism would be that it's a bit finicky switching between control commands, it should be easier somehow.
Thank you so much, we are glad that you enjoyed it despite the issues you are reporting! We are sorry for the problems you encountered with controls, we are willing to solve all of them in a post-jam relese :D
Cool game! Enjoyed the 7 levels. Good work!
Super creative - this melted my brain a bit to play! Moving the tutorial box rather than the player was a nice surprise that put a huge smile on my face. A great concept really well executed, awesome job!
Haha this is a fun approach to the theme. Pretty cool
