Great entry, escaped with just over a minute left, felt really tense
Neat, I love these kind of games. Reminds me of Penumbra, I think. I escaped 2:27 before the sun! Great game, with awesome visuals, and the song is nice and fits well.
Thank you for the compliments. And now I kind of want to make a Penumbra style game where everything is a rigid body 😂
I might have to experiment with that soon
Haha, one pass! Escaped in the last 11 seconds! good game! Since it's a pixel style, I didn't quite know what I got in my hand and what it could be used for, but I finally figured it out before the end.
Ha! Clutch finish 😄
That’s a good note on item ambiguity. I tried to have a little text blurb give a hint for what you pick up, but it doesn’t persist so I could see that hint being missed or not read in time.
In my post jam update I might add some sort of text indicator to describe what you’re holding
Like this game, good overall execution. The mouse look locking up every time there was text on the screen was super frustrating. If that got fixed it be a good little escape room.
Very weird, I hadn’t experienced that bug. 😅 I’ll need to do some further testing to try and figure out what might cause that. What browser and OS are you on?
I am on windows using Chrome. I was hoping it was something simple like the UI taking control of the mouse or something. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out what the difference is. I was Still able to get out so it wasn't completely a loss. I did not try moving the mouse a lot like was suggested above so I don't know if that works. Once the inner monologue finishes you regain control of the mouse
That’s a good thought on what might be the cause. Could be as simple as setting the text panel to ignore mouse focus. I don’t currently have windows set up for testing, but this is an excellent lesson for me to do that in future jams 😅
Appreciate you sticking with it anyway and reporting the issue in the first place 🙇
i've experienced the same bug
Ugh, my apologies. I’m on Mac and tested on Safari (where it seems to work correctly) and Chrome where there is an issue when the level first loads but after that it appears to work fine.
To clarify, are you saying that any time you inspect something and the inner monologue text appears then you can’t look around at all? As in moving the mouse does nothing while text is displaying?
yeah so whenever dialogue appears moving the mouse does nothing unless you move your mouse like a maniac then it unblocks the mouse
That’s certainly a weird one. I’m attempting to reach out to the jam admins to see if they’ll let me upload the desktop versions which I don’t believe would have this problem. So far no response though 😥
Thanks again for the bug report and for playing. I just wanted to give you an update that the desktop versions of the game has been uploaded, and I don’t believe they suffer from the same issue.
