Nice take on the theme, well done.
Level design has some cool ideas, it's nice to have to rediscover the same environment several times ! but it's true that controls are a bit rough. I guess it fits the depression theme though, it's really hard to get through that door ^_^
I came to play this game bc of the "depression" in the title and i felt it in a way ! The game is clear and cool, liked the art as well !
Thank you very much!
I enyojed the game. I like the idea og goint through same level but smaller and smaller.
Thank you very much!
Cool concept! I really like the posters and books and such lying around lol, overall a fun experience, I did get stuck a few times
The controls feel a bit clunky, and I keep getting stuck in the drawer.
thanks for the feedback! we understand the air control problem and from what I understand, it's only in the weird jump pads
There is NO air control which makes the jumps so hard because you are fixed on one trajectory as soon as you press space. I can't get past even the second level because of how it's just a guessing game on if you can make it or not.
You can control in the air with camera. You can see an example of it in gameplay video
I love the concept! but sadly the execution was poor. The game feeling wasn't that good, the movement was bad (difficult to move around)- this is a platformer, so don't make it easy to overshoot (it's way too easy to overshoot your jump here)
The concept was good but sadly because of the poor movement I couln't get any enjoyment out of it. I also got stuck several places and had to restart. The room and objects are nice but polishing seems to be lacking. I think it's overall a good game for a jam! :) I'm sure with more time this could be a very good game though. Consider to keep working on it :D
Thanks for the feedback! We had some difficulty making a satisfying character controller, and changing it after the level design is done risks making the game unbeatable.
Since I had some time today, I made an alternative version with different movement controls (I also fixed some bugs and softlocks) that you can find here if you want to play the game more: https://github.com/StupidHobbit/GMTK2024/releases/tag/leroymilo_cut_v1
