I know you used assets but you picked really well and built a nice atmosphere. We actually did a kinda similar mechanic for our submission too, would love if you check it out! (also thanks for the mac os, the terminal solution worked) 

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! ^^

I finished game in a minute and I'm not even sure how.

Developer

Yeah, I can understand why, haha

Hello there sir! I really liked the concept of the game, and really like the art style. If you have the spare time, i'd love to ask some questions about scaling pixel art in unity. If you ever get the free time, care to have a quick chat on discord or something else? I'd massively appreciate it.

Developer

Hey there! If you REALLY want, I can sure help you. But please keep in mind that I am a bloody beginner. I would recommend to watch a tutorial on youtube since those videos can probably explain it way better than I ever could ^^

no worries man! I’m not to experienced myself! I have just been having issues where my pixel art scales on other resolutions, and would like to know how you went about preventing this :)

Amazing

Very interesting concept

But I can't understand it's relevance to the theme "Two"

Developer

Thanks for the comment. It is relevant to the theme, since you are switching between two time zones. Hope that makes it a bit clearer ^^

Understood :)

Super interesting concept, a lot of potential so glad to see your planning on taking this further. Will definitely keep an eye on this one. Such a shame it's such a short demo but I know how that feels. Only had 10 hours of jam time so ended up with not many levels for my submission, would love it if you checked it out :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the nice words! I will definitely check out your submission. Also, if you want you can leave a follow so you wont miss any updates. Thanks again ^^

So beautiful. It's cool we both came up with similar ideas! :)

Developer

It totally is! A mixture of our games would be very cool I think, haha ^^

Love the pixel-art : )

The game is short, but the idea/mechanic behind it is really cool.

In future jams you could maybe block out the rest of a longer level with Unitys base-shapes and then put a disclaimer in the start-menu. This way you could still create some polished, high quality art and still have a game thats a bit longer. Just an idea of course ; )

Developer(+1)

Hey there! Thanks for the tip! I will keep it in mind for the future. Thanks for your feedback :D

Also - I actually just used the game jam to get the motivation to get started. I will definitely keep working on the game. So, if you like the idea, feel free to look by some time ^^

Thats awesome, I'm looking forward to it : )

Hey. Its short, so hard to give a rating. I guess the implementation of the theme is the switching between two times. The assets look professional and you sued a lot of assets by different creators. Its hard to judge what was made by you and what not. So: Keep working on it and put more of your own in it :) One hint: It seems like by Travelling you change scene. You could spare the player loading times whenever he travels by instead using a layer mask, which only shows one of the two "time zones".

If you feel like it, leave me a rating and comment as well :)
