I liked that the explosive tiles explode at a constant rate, so you know exactly when you can stand on those. The audio is pretty good and the overall assets are pretty consistent. I really liked how you introduced the player to the game mechanics, instantly showing what kinds of traps they will face. I didn't get why after getting all three hearts the girl was still crying. :_)
Hitboxes of the trap were quite unforgiving and the timing maze was pretty tricky to get right but other than that it was cool game. Good job.
Awesome music, and fun gameplay! Could see this become longer and longer with more and more trap types if desired to turn into a longer game! It becomes a real timing challenge when trying to avoid the bombs while also having to move to avoid the spikes, nice.
tough game, spikes are great!
Very simple and solid submission! I actually really liked that the spike traps added an extra level of pressure! How did you make the spikes follow the player?
Reminds me of the StarCraft obstacle course maps, fun game, some more obstacle types would be good.
Haha, this is a wonderful game!
For some reason I love the graphic style, gives me a feel of that Pizza Tower game. I think there should be a bit of forgiveness on the spike trap area, but overall this was a pleasure to play!
Keep on doggin' !
I agree with you about the spike traps. By the time we were wrapping up and came across the fact that two traps could hit you at once, there was virtually no time left. That's why we quickly added the warning in the instructions. And thank you for your other kind comments!
Really great game. I love the use of the disassemble theme and the art. Took me three tries to beat. Great work!
Glad you enjoyed it! One of the people we had play test still can't beat it, lol!
it reminds me of the vibes of untertale
We are honored by the comparison!
Rhythmic bombs and spike trap patterns, I like it :)
We are glad you enjoyed it :)
I loved this challenging game, unique and interesting. Great Job on your first Jam !
Thanks! We appreciate the kind words!
Very clever to combine a periodic explosion with a delayed "trap". Nice timing challenge ;)
Thanks! We tried our best to make the game as fun and engaging as possible with the few traps we could complete in the time frame!
This was really hard! The spiral tunnel was definitely the hardest. Congratulations on your first GWJ game, good work!
Thank you!
Thanks! We hadn't considered that issue with the red flash and will keep it in mind for next time.
Fun little puzzle game, although quite difficult at points! I'd have liked to somehow had the robot being tied to something viable in the girl's dreams a little better, like instead of it being a robot, just have it be her, or a sheep directly or something. All in all, great music and sfx, graphics could probably have been touched up a bit and I agree with GArysTrousers below in that I'd have liked a kinder palette, but the game was fun! I am especially impressed that this is your first jam, very good work! Keep it up!
Thanks! The title "Electric Sheep" is mostly just a reference to the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", but we didn't really spend much time thinking about the title haha. I appreciate your kind words about the sound and gameplay. Neither CoolRex nor I are artists by any means. We're definitely in the market for an artist for the next game jam. Thanks again and good luck!
Oh I know (re: the title) :P. Still very good!
Well done on making a very complete game! I would recommend going on lospec for some colour palette ideas to make the colours jell a bit better. Good job!
Thanks! Hopefully by the time the next jam comes around we'll have an artist on our team.
Great music and sound effects! It is a little on the loud end so you may want to add support for adjusting the audio volumes in the future. I wished it was a little easier because I ultimately kept dying on the puzzle on the right. Would have loved to know what the ending of the game is but it will take me a couple more tries before I can beat it I think. :P
Great job on your first GWJ submission!
Thanks! We'll keep that in mind for next time. As for the final puzzle, if you time it right, you can walk right on through mostly without stopping.
