Amazing game! Love the style you've given to it.
Biggest issue I had is that I left the level with the escape key and when I tried to play it again I just couldn't. I needed to refresh the page.

Haha that's a funny way to use the theme, the voice lines for the npc were pretty cool, i didn't realize at first he was telling me what to do, the doors opening were really satisfying to me lol. Cool game overall!

Heat JunkieGame really has a strong sense of self. Had a lot of personality, great work on that. I wasn't able to play with headphones, but it sounded like the NPC guy was voice acted? That's insane well done.
As far as the gameplay, it definitely took me a minute to figure out how to play (until I figured out the NPC voice line was telling me what to do). I eventually figured out it out and it was cool for a while. Though it got pretty frustrating later on when there were several enemies and they would run away after I hit them with the smoke. This combined with the cooldown of the attack itself made it a bit frustrating.
I never got to finish it, but it was interesting so far. Just wish the gameplay had a bit more to it and gave more agency to the player.

ChronoTrainIt is a really cool game, with pretty fun idea and a really nice style. The level building is pretty good too i think, with a variety of paths to take making it less linear and leaving more room to try to find the fastest route. But the gameplay doesn't feel quite as good, i struggle to understand why sometimes the smoking fails, and the slowness makes it pretty hard to fight enemies. Still a fun experience i think! (Voice acting in a weekend long jam is pretty dope to be fair xD)

OverShootHey thank you. I wish I had time to make more levels but yeah that was my goal trying to make it so you really had to find your own path when speed running. If I had more time I would of 100% improved on this and made the levels even bigger while still keeping them readable. And yeah I never explained it but there is a certain amount you have to smoke before any comes out. 100% I should of said something about that. Its the little orange bar. In all honestly I added it last minute in a act of balancing and tbh I think it works in balancing but also unintentionally frustrates the player. Thank you for your feedback in the post jam build will def take this into mind!
Sick art style you got here. You can really feel yourself inhaling and exhaling when you charge the smore (even though I'm not a smoker haha). Cheers!

Escape from Hoverheathi love tobacco products
This was very fun and the sound design especially is on point. I think it would have helped to add another movement mechanic in order to spend less time walking and enhance the speedrunning aspect.

Hot PotatoGreat game! The gameplay is smooth, the art and music is really nice. The coughing in the menu music is a nice touch. Very creative concept :D

Crazy Laptop Repair ShopThis game is so good man. I love the art style and the voice acting. And how the npcs get mad when you walk past them and dont talk to them. Amazing game 👍

Desert DriftA really funny game! I liked it. It was also cool to see that there were different keys and ways you could've beaten the game!
