A lot of ideas came to me while I was playing. It was an inspiring experience for me. Great job!
Awesome! The game is fun, and the graphics really catch your eye.
I like the pixelated effect, did you use a shader over the game to apply this render ?
Thanks! No special shader, all we did was casting a camera view into a 320x240 render texture (with filter mode set to “point” to make pixels more sharp and less blurry) and then showing this render texture as a raw image in UI ;)
what a cute little project, love the retro feel
nice little game! would love to see more
Thanks! We too would like to be able to add more content to it - unfortunately, the deadline was.. deadly x)
Couldnt get further - I've repaired all of the 3 carpets and then get stuck...
Unfortunately, this is all there is, we ran out of time to add more content :(
If you want to give yourself the additional challenge, you can click “o” on your keyboard while repairing the carpet, to get it cleared in full and you can try to recreate it in as least number of moves as you can! We managed to do it in just 12 moves and we are very curious if it’s possible to get it even lower ;)
This is a fun little game that looks quite nice!
I had some trouble understanding what to do in the beginning. I had to enter Fullscreen mode to see all the puzzle pieces, but after I got that going, I was able to get on a little roll.
Overall, well done!
Thanks! I’m happy you managed to find the solution instead of getting stuck forever ;) But yeah, there should be a proper tutorial in the game, that’s for sure! Maybe next time we will manage to do it in time ;)
I am a sucker for the pixelated graphics. Reminds me of DS games of my youth. The carpet making is unfortunately poorly explained within the game. Having the top of the description say that together with Pavius we will learn to make carpets made me expect to be able to learn from the grandpa in the game. So I spend more time trying to figure it out then usual. The further explanation in the description could also be more clear. It is generally advisable to start with what your goal is, so further explanations can be understood in how that allows the player to achieve the goal. Further to prevent confusion, the descriptions could be clearer. Right now I'm asked to press E to enter, where it only shakes, instead of communicating that I need to pick up a carpet. One small thing, after beating my first minigame, a performance panel appeared. I wish you good luck with any further endeavours!
Thank you very much for such a detailed comment! :D Very helpful, I see how every point you make is valid and we should keep it in mind for our next projects! ;) And ofc, thanks for playing!
