Fun and unique concept, the art and music are awesome. Great job!
Love the art, music, and narrative, fits very well with the concept.
I wish the labyrinths were had more obstacles... but still It feels very polished game.
Over all well desing game with good replay value, Congrats !
Hi !
Thank you for your feedback :)
I'm very pleased you liked our work. We're planing to implement more minigames with the same difficulty progression we have followed in the game jam. I hope you are going to like it :p
Love the graphics and sound design. That portal animation was flawless! Love that you can sort of customize your home with the various items you collect. Great game!
Very happy you loved our game, Ticamad! I concur, the portal animation is great, I'll pass your compliment onto the person who did them!
PS: Your game is one amongst the few we have not reviewed/rated/commented on yet, we intend to do that tonight!
Love to hear it! Just be aware that there are some bugs & changes I would have probably changed if I had more time, as I imagine most would :)
Awesome Game, my Favorite, great Art Style, nice idea with a good old difficult, please dont write Silly game =X is it a endless game ?
So happy you loved our game! It is not endless, it ends after 10 puzzles, and has 4 different endings (as in 4 different end-game text to trigger - based on how well you performed in the puzzles)!
I liked the ambient and the graphics, it was a fun game to play. The texts where for a very long time on screen and I wish I could skip them, but nice game
Thank you Pixel Turtle! Yep, that's one of the most recurrent feedback, we'll make sure to add the skip feature in the post-jam version of the game!
The art, music, and graphics were all on point and complemented each other really well. I also felt like the narrative at the beginning of each day added a lot to it. Big props to your artist, the different relics you could decorate with were varied and looked great. Two things I felt distracted from the game were the randomness of picking the wrong path, and the going back to the beginning when hitting a wall (which felt like it added more in frustration than fun). But overall a fantastic entry, with a good amount of content for a game jam!
Thank you Arkeus, our artist is very happy with the general reception of the game's graphics!
The randomness of picking the wrong path and the going back feature were both intentional to add difficulty to an otherwise quite simplistic puzzle design, although we are very curious to know how you would have tackled that yourself, please let us know!
Wow! This has an almost perfect balance between challenging and fun! The puzzles are very stressful when you are forced to turn around, but it feels really rewarding to have made it barely on time on the 9th day (literally less than a second). The only thing I have to say is to add those gorgeous animations to the gameplay and maybe some background art that relates to each time period. Other than that small issue (which a lot of games face due to the limited time frame), I really enjoy playing it. The little character, Babo, is absolutely adorable and has a beautiful walking cycle. I also really appreciate how the art style was slightly 'imperfect' in a sense. The emptiness in the cave gave a real lonely vibe, like he was sheltering himself from everyone else and maybe trying to protect himself from the real world. It is a very heartbreaking story and I hope that Babo makes a friend one day. Hope you guys enjoyed making this masterpiece and are planning to join more game jams in the future!
Such compliments, much blushing, so thank you. Wow
art is amazing and the game overall is really fun keep up the great work
Thank youuuuuuuu UwU
Fun and loved the art style and animation. I wish the labyrinths were themed in the era and had more obsticals, but I really enjoyed it either way.
So you will LOVE the next post-jam version as we intend to add more diversity in puzzles, themes, objects etc! Stay tuned ;)
Thank you for your kind words!
wth liked the art but not much gameplay man
It's not for everybody! Will pass along the compliment about the art!
Great game! I had a lot of fun playing. The art was really cute. The caveman felt a bit nostalgic for me because it reminded me Captain Caveman from when I was a kid. I liked that I could move the objects around my cave to decorate. It took a few days for me to realize I could do that, a few of the awards spawned behind the painting, so I thought maybe there was a bug with some of them not appearing. Once I figured out I could move the items, I started finding everything. Well done!
Thank you FiveToolDev! Interesting feedback, somehow I knew this would come up. We meant to have a custom cursor in the shape of a hand and some tooltip somewhere in a corner of the cave for controls, but we did run out of time. We'll definitely factor that in for the final version post-Game Jam!
Amazing art, sound and game concept! It feels very polished and I really enjoyed it!
Thank you, man!
The art is my type and I couldnt express how wonderful is it in words anymore. The game style is cool too, collecting stuff is just fun and im expecting the next collections everytime I go through the maze.
Cause making a maze game fun is hard, but you guys turned the bored maze game into a fun collecting game amazingly.
Music are suitable. Music from different coutries are played and im immersing into the game.
Perfectly done. The crown is yours
Thank you for the kind words, relaying them to our artist who will be blushing for sure!
Thank you very much for this awesome feedback.
I'm very pleased you enjoy our game
I absolutely love the art and the animation of Babo!!
I also really enjoy the story line, especially the funny and quirky little twist.
Some details like the emphasis on time is a great addition. Although I was a little impatient when it shows every round.
Also the choice of font is very fitting. Great level design. Got me every time.
Great work!!
Thank you for the feedback Pipcy <3
Yeah the "Skip the text" feature has been a recurrent feedback we got from our friends who played the game, notably because we pushed hard so that people want to replay the game. As we cannot add more features to the game, it'll stay like that for the duration of the Game Jam, but we'll add it for the post-game jam version!
A really great game, quite challenging and had fun trying to collect all the items not to mention it was a little bit educational aswell. Really loved this game it was amazing!
Glad you liked it!
After two attempts I managed to get all the items.
I had a good time on it however I have a few remarks to make:
-the text is not inclusive (the letter "n" where it looks like an "h" and the lack of spacing between words)
-There is a bug when you want to restart the game (the screen freezes)
-we can't move some objects after the end of all levels (see screenshot)
and I found the game a bit too simple: this can compromise the game's life span.
It's still very promising and I can't wait for a final version to be released ^^
We're publishing a patch tonight with the bug fixes we did not have time to fix yesterday :) Thanks for the feedback!!!
I just finished the game for the 3rd time (I still didn't get everything I wanted) and I really like it!
I love Babo and I enjoyed accompanying him on his adventures.
Here is my final result:
