Congrats on the well deserved win. You guys nailed the brief and made something that really does feel like it could be a promotional game for a real life Smoke Box.
Really fun idea to have a collection telling the history of SmokeBox's ad efforts. There is so much variety here and it totally nails the concept of actually promoting the restaurant.
Man you did such a good job of nailing the feeling of GAAS. Really liked the meta concept of playing a game in the game while other deeper things are going on.
Love how you created such a huge open world but still managed to make each area feel unique. The animation and cut-scenes were top notch too. Great stuff!
So many cool things in this game. A highlight for me was how you show information such as your health/ammo being visible in your character or texture on enemies changing to look more soaked as they take damage. I always love when a game can show things naturally like that instead of just having another generic bar or number on the HUD.
Great job with this one, The steady power progression with the updates feels really nice and the artwork is fantastic (especially the cold chickens needing woolly hats)
Love the writing in this. It feels like there is never a moment you get to a dead end or area you don't need yet and there isn't a fun line or character with a cool unique design saying something super charming. It also does an excellent job of mixing up the gameplay with its mini games. All around a fantastic time awesome work.
Absolutely incredible. You guys really pulled off something amazing here. Super unique and extremely fun premise that you somehow managed to give so many different spins.
As always amazing stuff. You impress me every year with what you're able to accomplish in such a short period of time. I liked the nods to your previous games in here too.
Nothing changes based on a no damage run sadly so don't put yourself through the pain. It seems a few people are interested in that though so maybe its something i should consider for next year. For the final level its just cause as much damage as you can before the song finishes, there is no set requirement don't worry.
So much fun. You really captured what was great about the old school shooters that inspired this from the movement to the audio. Great stuff Team Moonbeam!
Great choice of direction to go for a visual novel. It really helped show off your biggest strengths with the insane amount of art and writing you had to make for this, and the music really did a great job setting the horror vibes.
Great job! This did a great job capturing the feeling of old school adventure games. II really loved the time travel aspect and the way you included each of the mascots so that they'd all have their time in the spotlight.
I went into this expecting a simple little shooter but man did that story catch me off guard. Amazing job of setting the tone and easing it into a whole new genre by the end.
Man this is so charming, you guys nailed it! It has so many moments that leave the player smiling from the ghost screaming to the paper cutouts for the character portraits.
I played in browser. I did just try to download it to test for you and got this error though. Not sure why since everyone else's games are downloading ok. But the web version seems to work fine on windows machines so its not the end of the world.
I had difficulty running this game. Not sure what was going on but only WASD worked on keyboard and if I used a controller my character kept running forward and spamming the echolocation ability, any ideas on what the issue could be? The character models were super cute and recognizable though so it was still interesting to run around and see those.
Great minds think alike, I was actually thinking of adding a third ending for breaking all the pots when Melanie shows up and gets mad at you. But just getting the game done in time was a squeeze sadly.
Cool concept, definitely one of the most original entries I've played so far. I feel like this idea has so much room to expand in a non game jam setting too if you guys ever decide to continue it.
Amazing stuff! It fit within the rules completely while having such wildly unexpected theming . Couldn't resist going back to play it again after my first run through.
