This properly messed up my depth perception. My eyes still hurt. Great job!

Yeah, I meant dithering. I was writing the post quite late at night, so I probably phrased it a bit weirdly. Thanks for the reply!

I’ve been working on a shader, but never thought to ask whether such thing is permitted. I am mixing 2 colors, which at small enough scale looks like multiple colors. Is this thing allowed, when 1bit colors look like this with a magnification?

Thanks a lot for the kind words! Starting the project I wasn’t really sure how well it’d turn out, but it seems like people enjoy it a fair bit

Thanks!

Oh, it’s C#. Yeah, that’s unfortunate

Thanks, Fletch! It’s really nice to hear you got at least a bit spooked by my work and audio design!

Hey, just to let you know, version higher than Godot 4.0 do have web export - it became supported again in 4.1, if I recall correctly!

Very claustrophobic with beautiful graphics! Absolutely loved it

I absolutely love when people notice the games that were my references! Creating panic, like Alien: Isolation was one of my goals to begin with

Thanks a lot for the kind words!

Thanks for your nice words! I probably should’ve telegraphed it to the player a bit better, but the generators can be shut down to conserve their energy levels - this, however, prevents you from using sensors, lures and doors that are in the generator’s operational region.

Thanks again for the kind words!

Thanks a lot! Coming up with this effects, I was surprised how well they translated to the low-size resolution, so it is nice hearing someone else appreciates them as much as I do!

I’ll also just mention your game. It is ADDICTING. Really great job on it! The soundtrack is an absolute banger as well, can’t wait to see what else you got in store!

Becomes a speed test to get the best high-score once you figure out all the puzzles, but it’s really lovely. I especially adore its simple, yet elegant visual style

Short, sweet and with really slippery controls - just how I like my “smol car go fast” games!

Are the blurry visuals intentional or is this a bug on my end?

Very lovely graphics-wise! It truly looks as if a lot of attention was put to the graphical fidelity.

However the lack of sounds kinda kills the athmosphere - even if the rest is quite good.

Super cute! I really enjoy the concept and the simple and visually clear presentation. It kept me engaged for quite a while. The game feel is also really good, with all the screen shake and SFXs. Unfortunately, this version is quite bug-ridden, I wish there was more polish.

Otherwise, a stellar game!

Hey, again! Thanks a lot. I really enjoy putting a lot of effort into the athmosphere of the game - it seems like something I am at least somewhat decent at. I appreciate you finding my work praise-worthy!

Cheers

I like the concept a lot!

Thanks a lot!

I am honestly in shock of how good this was. I certainly did not expect the game to go in that direction when I first launched it. I really like how it turned into a think-on-your-toes strategy, thought I wish the game was a tidbit more difficult

Very lovely game, though the puzzles were quite easy

What? Am I really this blind lol? Thanks

Just seen the page and noticed the ~6 days left, the description, however, states 'The IcoJam is a beginner-friendly game-making code-writing art-arting music-compositioning design-designing 72-hour event!'. Is the time limit here a mistake, technically, or is there a reason for this? Am I allowed to work on a game for more than 72 hours?

Thanks for the video!

I'll probably be updating the game whenever I have more time and I'll definitely take your feedback into consideration!

Cheers :)

Thanks a lot! And for the video too :)

I've seen some issues with clipping into objects and getting stuck before, how did you manage to get stuck? Did you run into it? In that case, crouching and moving away from the surface you're stuck on usually helps. I'll try to fix that issue when I have more time on my hands

Thanks for the review :)

Thanks a lot for the reply, I appreciate the detailed feedback! Other players have also found the player direction lacking - it's something I'll be looking into after the jam.

If you haven't finished the game and are willing to give it another try - try to stay where there's no grass and let the light and tower guide you :)

Cheers and thanks for playing!

Thanks for the review. I have seen these issues brought up before and will certainly be looking into them after the jam's review period is over 👍

Thanks for the review and I'll see what I can do for the next update!

That was quite fun, even if initially the navigation was a bit tedious. I love the ending though, the text part exactly, feels very slapsticky to me.

I found a bug where if you try to shoot the revolver with both mouse and CTRL at the same time, your character can shoot multiple times on the same frame - this made it really easy to kill everyone at the ending.

I do wish the revolver packed a bit more punch visually, recoil, particles (on the enemies as well) maybe some better indicators of if an enemy was hit. I also found the saw blade guys' attack a bit unpredictabl - it sometimes seems to register as they are initiaing an animation and sometimes almost at its end

I feel like there's something deeper (the title, nod nod) about this game, like a story I am very much so missing with all the weird imagery and things. I especially love the mannequin  room for some reason. After finishing the game, I noticed that I have a screw (?) in the title screen's inventory, I am yet to figure out what it is about. 

If there is something going on beneath the thin veil of "walk into this place, pick up this item", then please tell me, cause I would love to replay this if it were the case!

This is a really good game, I absolutely loved it! The quiet atmosphere and the radio dialogue really added to it. I really wish more will be done with this concept by you, possibly with better visuals.

I enjoyed it, though the overall comedy vibe is certianly not my cup of tea nor something I expected from the game. I do appreciate the "launch the cow" button though

Thanks a lot for the review! I do agree that the player direction kinda falls short on the ending part. I am currently looking into a lot of issues and bugs and will likely release an update when the jam's review period has ended.

If you feel like revisiting the other ending - follow the creature and when it stops, look where its light is pointing and walk in that direction, it should lead it you into a cave, from there, the navigation is quite easy

Thanks again for the kind words, cheers :)

Yeah, this seems like a bug that has happened to me. I also got stuck at the tooth puzzle, so it's nice to hear you bring it up. I honestly tried everything with that one. 4, 2, 8 lol

The gameplay isn't bad, but I wish a lot of the things were better communicated to the player. What's the story like? Why are we in the place? What am I to do with the magnet after I pick it up (figured that out during game, but it would still be nice to get like a prompt or something).

As Cademon said, the footstep sounds are annoying, they pop in your ear too much, as if you had broken earphones or something.

The alien /robot bugs out often and has trouble walking through gates, though I really enjoy the detail of lights turning on when it's near one.

I also noticed that you seemed to have shipped a debug version of the game. The print labels are visible, as well as the raycast you seem to be using for the magnet.

Very solid and stressful at the end when you had to close the doors and all. Great presentation! Unfortunately, I didn't manage to finish the game, because I keep getting a bug where everything in the terminal is unselected and I can't move to any file

I am surprised at the polish this game has. I wish I could play the full version!

I have found a few issues. Bright object with a lot of texture (grass during the day) seem to flicker a lot when they move or when the player moves. The flashlight is very weak and keeps everything very dark. The object blueprints are a bit hard to see.

I also wish the player was directed to see the second "meteorite" instead of being directed to drive away. Otherwise, stellar work, keep it up!

Good game. The camera bob is a bit too much and it seems to go hay-wire when pressing shift. The game also scales poorly on a 2560x1080 display. The game seems to read the x screen resolution and set the y based on that (in a 16:9 config)
