The art gives me very retro vibes, which in some cases can work very well, but I think here it was just a little too confusing about what was going on. Other than that I quite like the idea of using the same button for minigames, but I think a little more variety in the minigames would have helped. Other than that, it's a very solid game for a 3 day jam! Nice work :)
Thanks for the feedback!!!.
More or less reach the same conclusions after record a gameplay 2 day after i upload it. I have bad luck and the Heat and Freeze game appears in sucession 4 times.
The presentation is ambiguous, I can't find the way to play adding pop ups tips can help players know how to (Ooops It was surprising me with Game over heating the same button). I can't see the way use employed limitation. The sounds were pretty cool, keep it up.
Thats not a bad idea, i want to put some signal or icon over the guy but lack of time to figure out own.
but really don't thing of a dialog globe i think i can combine both things
Thanks!For the limitation, it's a little like Wario Ware the idea is mess with the player atention, the button work diferent in the 3 minigames. in heat game press fast,"smash" the button to ingrese the heat, in freeze same but it gonna lower the heat, and finallly warn game(the one with the poker face) it a "press in time"
Thought i realize after upload that being purely randomized in order , and be 2/3 probaability of be a smash the button game, well there is a high probability you don't see the 3rd game, the make hard to see it. I think too add a hold the button latter and 2 games per way to handle the buttton, and add a"tetris bag" for the order of minigames so they can repeat until all the games were played once, at most 1 of the game can happen 2 times follow.
The problem of minigames is small problems stand up like a sore thump
I love the artstyle and sound effects. It was a bit difficult to understand what’s going on at the beginning, but I quickly got the hang of it. The game could have more mechanics, but it’s a jam game, so I can’t complain here. Very nice
Thanks, for the feedback!!
i think of add a hold the button and a total of 6 minigames, 2 per each way to use the button, right odds are you don't see the 3rd game
Really liked the retro vibes in this. I actually thought having a single button for all minigames is an interesting idea. Favorite one was the 'warm'. The other two felt a bit similar to each other. Good submission with great presentation.
Thanks!
Curios i didn't gonna add "warm" for the jam but i have the same impresion, plus i realize that only with the other 2 the player simply can continue smash ig the button, likely gonna add a 2 "destroy" game , where you have to press in the extremes intead of the center.
I lack details and minigames to have the effect i want in the player.
Love the game and watch vibes, high marks for presentation!
I like the minimalist art style and presentation.
I don't really understand, I think it would be a good game but I don't know, so i'll rate a little bit lower/higher because of that
The art and sound are great and the theming is immaculate but it would be nice to have a bit more variety in the minigames. The freezing and heating ones are mechanically the same and I couldn't tell how the other one was supposed to work as I didn't have time to figure out what temperature I was aiming for.
the Warn(poker face) one you have to press the button only once(instead of smash the button) when the heat is in the middle, you lose a life if not press or if press when is not in there .
I know it gonna made problems, i wasn going to add it for the jam, but i realize without this one you can simply continue smashing the button and win
the game isn't explained very well, and I think the restriction is only vaguely incorporated. You did follow the theme though, and I love the minimalistic art style. great job!
Yep, I expected that the game was intuitive enought i want to add other visual effects(like blinks of certain assets), or some short of help., thought i'm not use if a "How to play" fit the game concept of simulate a retro pocket game, these games were arade to the core they expect you to loss and try again(well there is a thin line of that being great and be frustrating.
I love the style and the art in general, it took me minutes to understand how to play it, even by reading the description but overall it’s fun, it has a good potential.
Thanks for the feedback!!!
I adore the style, it definitely reminds me of those pocket games, very nostalgic. genuinely would love a mobile version
glad you enjoy
I based the game meachanics on wario ware series, and the visual and sfx in pocket game devices like v-pets, tamagochi, game and watch, and a lot of generic ones i have when i was a kid.
I already thought so from Wario Ware or Mario Party or some like that :)
