very polished UI elements, the graphics are amazing - i love it!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Great game. Well done!
Thank you!
Fantastic game! If I could vote I would! Hope you develop it further. 😁
Thank you!!! 😄
Really love the polish on this game, and the puzzles were very well made great job
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Damn! Really nicely polished, well crafted game. Great atmosphere. Nice puzzles.
Thank you so much!!
So much to say about this game, but the main thing was just how elated we were to finally win! This is a very well rounded game and I genuinely enjoyed every moment. Played with my son (5) and he really liked it to. He wants you to know that he helped me solve the puzzles!
Wow! That means so much! Thank you. I'm so glad you got to enjoy the game with your son!
Really awesome game! Loved the visuals, music, the whole atmosphere was just great. Last couple levels had me scratching my head for a moment, very nicely done!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words. :)
This was a great and polished experience. The addition of different characters offered a nice complexity in terms of patience and planning. Really enjoyed the music as well. Great work!
Thank you for the kind words. :) Glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing entry! This is so good. Highly polished and good game design. Had a blast while playing this.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Very impressive entry with lots and lots of polish! I like that it's a sort of stealth x puzzle game, where you have to infect the "seekers" to progress. It definitely created a unique feel for the game and puzzles. The sticker art style was very nice and suited the light feel of all the other graphics and sounds well :D
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Incredible entry, I loved to play such a solid puzzle game! The overall look is very polished, with great graphics and audio. The core mechanic fits the theme and is pretty fun, even if the levels are not obvious and requires a bit of thinking (which is positive, don't get me wrong!). More specifically, I perceived a sensible increment of difficulty between levels 8 and 9, with the last two levels demanding some accurate timing.
After a lot of attempts, I managed to reach the end :D
Congratulations, I really enjoyed your game!
Thank you!! I am glad you enjoyed the game and were able to make it to the end! I wanted the difficultly to increase throughout, but perhaps it increased a little too abruptly there at the end. 😅
No, don't worry, it was perfectly fine! With such a limited time for the game development, I think that putting a couple of difficult levels was the right idea to show the possible range of the gameplay. I just thought that, if you plan to expand this, knowing the perceived difficulty could be an useful feedback, even if it's from a single playtester :)
It's wonderful feedback. I watched some people close to me play and observed the difficulty spike for them too. I would certainly smooth things out if possible with more levels. :)
Great work on the art and the general concept, which obviously fit the theme perfectly. I thought the addition of the doctors was neat and definitely added another layer to the core mechanic.
Nice job!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Very well made. I like the art a lot, and the gameplay was good too.
Thank you! :)
I like it. The control is easy and the puzzle is good too.
Yay! Congrats for beating all the levels. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I love this game!!! The gameplay is super fun! I am going to get my wife to play this, she's going to love it. Despite it being 2D, the art is perfect and the polish is insane. It's so accessible too, it has keyboard and mouse/touch. One of my most highly rated games this game. Sublime.
I mean, I think it's ready and deserving of a commercial release.
Thank you so much! That means a lot. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and I hope your wife does as well! My last game jam had a terrible controls score, so I really wanted to make sure this game had multiple options for how to play. I'm glad to hear that was appreciated!
This is one of my favourite entries! Would love to see more levels
Wow! Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. There were a few more mechanics and level ideas I wanted to get to but ran out of time.
Really liked this game! I feel like we had similar ideas in terms of navigating between hosts to solve puzzles. I didn't fully understand the danger of the patrol enemies until I was a few levels in, but it was fun trying to plan out my infestations to get to the captain. Also on some of the more packed levels it was occasionally hard to see where the patrol paths were.
Overall really enjoyed the game, has great atmosphere (reminded me a lot of Infinifactory), and the sort of paper-craft art style was really cool. Great job!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! We did have similar ideas, and I really enjoyed your implementation of it.
The enemy patrol, and when they attacked, I was worried would be unclear. If I had time I would have made some different art for the enemies going up and down versus left and right. The way you had little icons indicating the danger zones was clever and I wish I had thought of that. The packed scenes with lots of routes was also tricky. Maybe I should have used lines instead of dots and perhaps given them different colors or shades.
I LOVED THIS! The music/Ambience kinda reminded me of Mass Effect, which made me love it even more. I really had to use a lot of brain power to beat all the levels, so good! And ngl, the lil squishy sound effects made me kinda hungry.. in the best way possible! lol
Wow! Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed it and that you were able to get to the end. Its always challenging to know whether the difficulty curve is too easy or too hard, so hopefully I found a good place in the middle this time.
