I liked the visuals of this a lot, with some more polish they could look even greater. The controls felt a tadbit awkward - maybe doing something where you aim with the mouse pointer could feel more natural. Great job!
Very interesting way to go about making a game about the idea of the void - the presentation is very clean, and although the voice acting is a little awkward at points, it ultimately works out very well. The controls feel awkward at times, and i think that the gameplay could be presented in a clearer way, but there's something to the idea that to win the game you have to have the right mentality, that you can't just sit there and reminisce but actually do something to honour those memories, and ultimately, enjoy yourself as you accept the ultimate void. Very interesting, thought provoking entry.
The presentation in this is extremely clean and by far the best part of it. With some polish this would be probably in my top 5 for this jam - the entry is only held back by the controls feeling a little less than smooth and kind of clunky feeling hitboxes. Fantastic job, though!
Very cool idea, driven specifically but the arcade vibe that the non-standard control scheme uses! Does a lot with very little in terms of graphics and sound, overall a very clean and well made project. Great job!
The gunplay feels a little awkward, but i find this entry cute in many ways. The graphics, for one, which are very neat, and the foley is very charming. Great job!
The comic style introduction was really neat! As far as the gameplay goes, it feels pretty neat for a mario & luigi style turn-based action rpg thing, but what i think this misses is a more clear tells for what direction the attack is going to go. Also, there's a bug where i can interrupt a special attack using a regular attack in the middle of it!
Very tight submission. Game reminds me a lot of flash games from the bygone era of early internet - really crunchy gameplay style, but some puzzle solutions feel a little obscure and don't give me that "a-ha!" moment. Otherwise this entry is really fantastic, the sound design is very minimalist but very very satisfying, likewise for the graphics. Doing a lot with very little. Great job!
Very very VERY fun concept! This could have a lot of potential for a very fun game if you tighten the controls a little, but there's a lot of interesting emergent gameplay coming from just how you organized the random level bits. Looks great as well. Good job!
No yeah of course! I call it the slot machine just because it looks kind of a slot machine, but yeah i got that you can choose whatever option you want.
VERY cool idea, reminds me of the zen like games you would find in stuff like the Wii-ware store. Very mind bending, no criticisms really! With some added mechanics and some more polish this could be a phenomenal finished game.
Pretty good idea, has a pretty nice twist on the whole level editing subtheme that a lot of other games have, and the sokoban puzzle design works pretty well overall. Really nice presentation, very very very polished. Great job!
The idea is neat, but i feel like boards could use some more dynamic elements when you place down stuff, like buildings that gain defenses when a certain type of block is placed next to it or something, or vulnerabilities that shed defenses for buildings. Either way, the presentation is really clean! Good job over all.
I really wish i had time to tune the controls yeah! Platformers that require precision like this should be tighter than here - less deceleration for better landing and control in the air would've benefitted this immensely.
Really well executed concept! Functions similarly to the game it parodies but touches on a fundamentally different way to play. Very well designed! Found a glitch where if you die on turn 11, you still get the turn 12 win screen though. Amazing job!
Really good entry! Clever, if frustrating level design (not a negative!). The level design was really really creative with what it did. Not much to say in regards of the design, the audio can get repetitive at times and some QoL features (fullscreen, for example) could really help this. Otherwise, given some polish this could be a really good finished game in its own right! Great job.
Amazing presentation and amazing feeling game, however the controls gave me a lot of problems; point and click at high speeds with the camera moving this fast doesn't work too well, sadly. Could probably work really well on a touch screen though! The game feel was top notch and the aesthetics work really well. I also see a lot of nods to other games, like crash or celeste - which is great. Great job all around!
Pretty neat idea, i feel like this has potential for a pretty good phone game given that you add some level design things like more dynamic boards with objects that move with the player. Found a glitch where if you move the board too fast the player just ignores collisions with the walls, however. Good job!
This is one of the best games I've played this jam that I think is doing a lot of interesting stuff with just very little.
I think the title - dehumanization - is clever in the sense that this game is as much about the concept of of course deforestation, but more pointedly about the very sense of the word; "dehumanization". It's kind of making a statement about the completely arbitrary distinction between environment/humanity, to deforestate is in a sense to dehumanize. A sense that is given by the fleshy feeling environments only cut through by the house we are trying to extend, which could be said to stand in for undue expansionism.
But also, it's absolutely about labour! To deforestate is simultaneously portrayed as a glorious expansion of "civilization" (which you can kind of get from the use of the song, morning mood by edward gieg, symbolizing a kind of westernized but offputting tone to the whole activity) that is also almost mockingly plastered over mind-melding repetitive work: that, which of course, dehumanizes someone.
Very good job. Deserving of all 5 stars in all three fields.
The design concept is really neat! I feel like the amount of time given might've hurt this game a bit in the sense that stuff like the controls and level design and game feel could've been made better given some more time to cook. I really like the little bird sprite! Good job!
Nice! I felt like getting to smash the heroes was really difficult, i would be just waving around and they'd just be walking all over me anyways so i havent lasted much, really. The presentation is very very good, very clean, the assets look great, the music works really well. Great job over all!
A bit disturbing! I probably should've played this as an executable instead of on browser so the lagging is probably a me problem, but i did encounter some iffy bits with the physics, certain stools sometimes just wouldn't get unstuck from a certain axis while dragging them along for example. But the idea is fun! Good job.
Cute and to the point. Scoped really well! Would maybe touch up the font for the score and lives to give more of an effect to the arcade era it's trying to emulate.
I think the presentation in this is phenomenal, the visual assets are fantastic and i love the look of the thing but the game itself doesnt feel engaging enough, sadly; something like moving enemies or something less static than just rotating the sword depending on what the thrust is could be cool! A lot of potential.
It's a REALLY satisfying feeling game! I feel like it could be made better by having tower switching bound to RMB rather than LMB. Extremely satisfying to just set myself at the end of the route and just spray and pray arrows (and ruining my fingers because of it, lol). Great job!
Despite being unfinished I think this is pretty cool! Models are pretty great looking and everything, while unfinished, feels really polished. Also, similar game concept to mine! Good job!
The idea is very neat! But i feel like the game suffers from the controls being kind of imprecise; it becomes really hard to balance on the rolls later on especially, and i encountered a problem at the beginning of level 1-4 where the jump height of the character was too short to jump up to the next section of the level. Otherwise, really cute idea. Great job!
Thank you for the feedback! Sound is missing because of timing reasons, i had no time to think about music or sound effects while developing and put it off up to when i realized i had only 2 hours to finish the game and it was not in any finished state.
Basically i went in not sure what to do and with energy draining me and feeling hungry at most times and my vision slowly going out, forgetting that i had to even submit the damned thing. Pretty accurate with how making a jam game is like. Great job!
