lost media 😔

until i fix it or find some alternative

glorpy is the perfect word to describe this game

awesome game. i've been sitting at my computer for like 10 minutes now going "yeah..."
you have a brilliant way of writing, evoking real introspection in a relatively short monologue, and with a slick as hell setting.

good luck on proximate! seeing your parallels talk and this means i'm very excited for what might come in the future. one day i hope i can write something that makes people feel emotions like you have here

Thanks for playing! Super Crate Box was definitely an inspiration for the small level and quick shooting, and I would have loved to add some more weapons if I had had some more time.
Glad you enjoyed it!

The goal of the game is to shoot all of the mimics, but the first one you have to break the egg so it has something to copy.

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the mechanics.

Really cool game! I loved the mechanic of moving the screen using the mouse to see, and both the shooting and the fishing were very fun.

I did come across an issue where I think seagulls were meant to appear but they didn't (I heard caws and the music changed), but I still had a lot of fun just with the fishing aspects.

Cute game! I liked the gameplay loop, it was very fun catching the fish, although I wasn't quite sure what the powerups were doing.

The art was very nice, although it looked like a decent bit of it wasn't low res.

Overall, a cool game!

Thanks for playing!

Sadly I was pretty low on time during this game jam, so there wasn't the chance to explain how the enemies behave inside the game itself.

Thanks so much!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

The liver may have come from the horse.

Whoa! Thanks for making a video! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Thanks for playing!

Thanks you so much for making this game for us!
It's super cute and super fun. <3

Cute little game! I only realised I could shoot during the very end, so maybe having some in-game instructions would be good, but it was a fun time :)

Oh no! I must have missed that bug. Thanks for telling me, I’ll have a look at it after the rating period.

Glad you enjoyed the game!

I asked the host of the jam, who said it was cool, but I only made the web version compile, there were no gameplay fixes

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the shaders, it was my first time really using them and I sort of went all in on it, but I agree that difficulty needs some work. Something like a shield or powerup seems good for sure, perhaps spawning more freqeuently once you've died a couple times.
Thanks for playing :)

Thanks! Yeah, I definitely think that the difficulty needs some work, I was originally planning to allow some extra hits or something similar, but I ran out of time to implement it without cutting down the actual game level size. I'll definitely do some fixes on the difficulty. Also, I might just make the respawning screen skip quicker, even in testing I sometimes felt like I was dying too often for the speed it's at.
Thank again for the feedback :)

Thanks for playing! The current dash timer is the same length as a bar (1.6 seconds), because I wanted to match it to the song's tempo, but with more testing I agree it should probably be a little faster. I think that I'll change it after the jam.

Thanks! That was my main sort of inspiration for the gameplay, so I'm glad someone thought it was similar

I just fixed that bug now! The web build will be working in about 20 minutes

I used the Love2d framework to make my game :)

Thanks for the feeback! For the graphics being small, I did originally have them larger, but due to the engine I am using there was no way to have levels the size I wanted and fit the web player without tiles that small, unfortunately, so I had to sacrifice the size so it would all be seeable.

As for the animation and composition, I've actually used Bosca Ceoil before, but I'm pretty bad at it, and I really didn't have enough time left to make animation or music on my own (maybe I'll do it after the jam is done), which is why they were left out.

Holding the button down is definitely too fast, but it's based off the "key repeat" system implemented in most software, where it just starts typing really fast if you hold it down long enough, so I should go back and manually implement it so it's slower.

The magic wand was probably the weapon that made the least sense? Perhaps I should've given it an actual text tutorial, but what it does is that it changes directions to move the same way as the player, unless you're going the opposite direction to it. (e.g. if you go left, it will go left as long as it's not already going right), but it was my plan that you could use it to remotely attack enemies around corners and things.

Thanks for playing :)

Really great game! I absolutely loved the art, and the idea of having a giant sword chasing you down was very interesting and fun, particularly with the fact that they are used as part of the puzzles to break blocks. I did find that the archers were quite hard to avoid, so maybe having them appear a little earlier and do something like a pulling back on the bow animation would help quite a lot.

Overall though, a very fun and cool little game.

Awesome game! Having a pushing puzzle game is normally pretty plain, but having the swords as both hazards and to stick boxes together was super cool. I really, really enjoyed it :)

Cute game! I really like the audio, although it was a bit weird that the volume setting started at zero.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)

Thanks for playing! I'm pretty sure there's no point where there is a blank screen at the shop, but I'll make sure to check it out after the jam.

Glad you enjoyed! I was originally planning to allow that, but I overscoped and sort of struggled to finish what was already there, so I had to leave it out.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Due to some lacking on my part in the art department, it is hard to figure out how grown the plants are, but there are only 3 levels of growth, so the ones that ate you are probably the half-grown ones.

Yeah, I know that it's broken, but i'm currently unable to upload the bug fix because of some issues with the game engine

Thanks! It's pretty awesome to see someone play my game and I enjoyed your video

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, fixing the jumping physics is my number one update feature. I wrote the code for the jumping so that the deceleration in the air takes 0.4 seconds to reduce to stopping (compared to 0.1 seconds for on the ground), which works well for realistic-ish movement, but makes precise air stopping pretty hard, so I'm planning to reduce that to about 0.25 instead.

A crazy solid game! The use of dithering was impeccable and the puzzles were really fun and well designed. All the different mechanics were clearly introduced even without any kind of text tutorial. Super cool.

I hadn't even thought about non-English keyboards, that's a super good thing to mention. I also heard from a couple of my friends that played that the movement was too fast in the air, so I think I will change it after the rating. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'd heard from a couple of my friends that playtested it that the movement was a bit strong in the air (particularly on the web version), so I'm planning to slow it down after the rating period ends.

Thanks a lot! I was very inspired by Pikuniku (originally my characters were all going to be ellipses like the pikuniku guy before I realised that and changed them all to different shape), so I'm glad you picked up on that.

Thanks a lot! I had it in my head that I wanted dialogue since the start of the jam, but I only came up with the idea to add "yes" and "no" buttons halfway through. I think it really added a lot.
