Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Definitely more of an experience than a game, but wonderful nonetheless, and the idea of merging their shadows to form new ones with a mixture of their morals / goals / motivations is a interesting one. Quick, fun, well made, ran perfectly, only issue is right clicking on a touchpad is far from ideal, lol.
  • The pacing of the game was quite slow. Regardless, the game is quite unique and artful. You should be quite proud of yourselves!

Very interesting concept and storytelling! When our sense of self popped out it was such a delightful "OMG" feeling for me. The sound was perfect for the moment. 

Great entry, thank you for submitting!

Great concept and the voice acting is surprisingly very good! I love this theme interpretation, nice work

Very well done, the music and voice acting really help to create an atmosphere and set a tone.  Perhaps the text could reveal itself while the person is speaking? Might make this more accessible. I enjoyed this game quite a bit. Would love to see (and hear) more!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, we went back and forth but wanted to make sure the audio was taking the stage for this prototype. I know that personally, if there's text on screen I read ahead and try to skip. But if we expand it, we'll definitely take another look at it and focus on accessibility. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Hey I really liked this one!

I am left wondering how much work went into considering the combinations... My own crafting system was almost too much to handle...

Also, I clicked because the thumbnail reminded me of Cryptmaster. I love it!

Very cool idea and well executed!! I think I'll stick to my day job though, I'm not a great soul combo generator. 😂

Developer

Cheers mate! Yes it's a tough job haha ☠️

Ok, wow, the vibe is 10/10, really well done.

The voice acting and audio is superb, and combined with a simple gamplay loop, the game's focus is clear, easy to grasp and complete.

I have only two issues with the game;

  • Even though the the voice acting is really well done, a skip/complete button or input on a second playthrough would be nice.
  • Secondly, why isn't there more?! Give me more souls to play with! xD

Very well done, it is a small project, but it is very well executed.

Thanks so much! Yeah, if we come back to it there will be skip ability after the first loop for sure. And we would have loved to have included more souls, or have the ones you made come back to be combined again, but will have to save that for later. Congrats on Sunscreen Vampire! I've been getting roasted 🔥

A somber melancholic dialogue focused game is really refreshing after playing/working on such frenetic games. Bleak yet very smooth, very well made, insanely well-balanced audio with that chilling piano track. Love the work, a very great experience.

And so nice to run around shooting monsters with dynamic bullets after so much time spent listening to melancholy souls. Cheers!

Cheers man! Happy the change of tone worked for you ha, hopefully catch you guys at the next Melbourne meetup!
