"unnötig cool" nehme ich ab jetzt in mein Sprach-Repertoire 😂 Danke für die tolle Musik!

So happy you guys got to submit at the end—worth the wait 😃 Great concept and love the underlying work and research you put into this. Well done!

Direkt mein erstes getestetes Spiel und wir waren eine sehr lustige Runde. Hut ab vor dieser Arbeit, toll dass so ein balanciertes und witziges Brettspiel dabei herausgekommen ist. Glanzleistung!

Probably the most political submission of the jam—well done, people! Great work on the texts (Brutalismusconnaisseure 😂) and fun to play!

Love the graphics mix and "Kudos!" for staying so true to the overarching topic of the jam. Great job!

Finished it, loved it! Even found the rat before I heard the accompanying dialog 😃 Truly great art work and sounds! (The NPC’s speech reminds of some other indie game I played recently… To the Moon? Not sure, but well done!)

“It appears to have been designed for maximum discomfort.” 😂 LOVE IT!

In all seriousness, I got goosebumps while playing. The great text created this very special atmosphere, despite the minimalist game play. Great scenario, well done!

Hey thanks for taking the time and play(-test). This was a game jam entry so it naturally comes with quite the range of bugs—I will try to prioritize the ones you mentioned 👍

Hammer Idee und toll diese coole Idee in der Umsetzung zu seh—da werde ich noch eine Weile davor hängen 😃

This game feels like a literal walk through the park—and triggered so many good memories and ideas. Thanks a mill!

Das werde ich auf jeden Fall heute im Laufe des Tages noch durchspielen 😃 Tolles Konzept und das Artwork ist ein Traum!

Liebe Grüße von euren fellow-Plattformer-Machern 😃 Das Konzept ist der Hammer und ich mag den Art-Style total. Hut ab noch mal davor, dass ihr das als Game-Jam-Neulinge gestemmt habt. Das ist mehr als eindrucksvoll!

Hahaha 🤣 Waren da auch Pferdebeine dabei? Eine tolle Art das Game Jam Thema umzusetzen, ich habe definitiv mehr Wohnungen mit interessanten Leuten bezogen als anfangs geplant 👍

[Edit] Nevermind, in Chrome läuft es 🎉

Läuft bei mir leider nicht im Browser: "Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure."

Haha—super Twist und sehr schöne Idee. Spannend wie sich viele beim Thema Geschlecht und Sexualität der ja offensichtlich bestehenden menschlichen Kreativität verwähren, wenn es um Kategorien geht. Top!

Ich liebe die entspannte Atmosphäre des Spiels und die Möglichkeit mich in meiner Geschwindigkeit dem Spiel zu nähern. Meine Augen blieben immer wieder an den tollen Details der Graphik hängen und ich stehe auf dieses bit-sized Wissen der einzelnen Karteikarten. Well done!

Ich hatte gestern schon deine erste Version gespielt und bin hin und weg. So eine smarte Art das Thema anzugehen und für mich die nachhaltigste "mentale Schelle" mich selbst und meine Fragen nach außen immer wieder zu hinterfragen.

Absoluter Gänsehaut-Titel, von der ersten Sekunde an. Ich könnte mich ewig in den Räumen verlieren und entdecken. Wahnsinnsbeitrag, große Liebe 💚

Likewise! Any ideas/favorite tools yet? I'll see you in the jam :) Thanks again for taking your time to comment!

Hi Cam,
Thanks for taking the time to comment, very glad you liked it 😃 I developed this during last year's Github Game Off and it was great fun. Are you planning on joining the jam this year?

Hey MHC,
yes, I am on the jam discord (https://discord.gg/h2XMTr), name's stephanmax.

See you there

Hi mhcreative,
Another beginner here, so don't feel alone ;) I also thought about teaming up with someone this year after participating in two game jams solo (here and here (VAVO), both done in Phaser). I am a computer science grad currently working as a software architect. I feel most comfortable in the JavaScript/Python stack, but also have experiences with Unity/C# and Java. I am currently learning Godot (which is awesome so far). I like what you are saying about what you have learned so far and what you wanna do in this jam. I understand that I might not be your No1 candidate for a team (not strong on the graphics side of things), but let me know if you want to hack away together.

Best, Stephan

Das glaub ich gern. Aber: better done than perfect, oder? :) Bin selbst ein hobby-mäßiger (und das ist fast schon übertrieben) Interessent an Spiele-Entwicklung und ziehe mir jetzt erst mal die Spielesklave-Reihe rein!

Bin gerade von deinem Youtube-Channel hier gelandet und bin schwer begeistert. Soviel Liebe zum Detail und Einfallsreichtum—Hut ab! Mach weiter so!

I admire how you managed the look and feel of those classics—almost forgot about them, thanks for bringing those memories back! You got me thrown back in time for sure 👍

Thanks a lot, that's very nice of you to say! Sound is missing, indeed :/ I will include some sfx and music in the next post-jam release, though :)

Thanks a mill, magers. Happy you mentioned "satisfying", I was going for that effect. Hopefully, I can make it even better by adding some SFX in the next iteration ;)

Great feedback, very kind of you, AiriKarin. Yeah, I had quite some back and forth with the stomp attack vs normal swing in the air. The idea behind was that the stomp attack also lets you "cancel" a jump to give you more freedom.
Thanks again!

I had a blast playing this and loved the retro feel to it, very well done! Kudos also for making a pixel version of "It" so creepy :)

Thanks a mill for this awesome feedback, Renatomad. I will definitely continue working on this!

Wow, the game looks gorgeous, I felt immediately thrown back :) Can't wait to see what you are making out of this.

I had a blast playing your game and really appreciated the sound and how you embedded the instructions into the first level. Kinda bummed out that I didn't find the time to add sound into my game :) Good job!

And you sure succeeded in doing so! Don't get me wrong, by no means did I intend to belittle the outcome. You did a great job there!

Sweet!

Thanks a mill for the kind feedback, backslash. As a matter of fact, I was thinking about continuing to work on the game. This is a perfect confirmation that I am on the right track—thanks for that! Do you have any specific game mechanics improvements/additions in mind?

Great entry, kudos! Love the minimal, Limbo-esque graphics and sound.

Maybe I am just not skilled enough, but I found the normal run without the doppelganger quite challenging already :)

I really liked the game idea and *loved* the scenery and the use of music. It seems a bit easy though, unless I've been missing something. But constantly hammering the up key basically got me going. Well done!

Thanks a lot for the in-depth comment, heckx2. Ah the Bowser fire, good times :) I see where the confusion is coming from, I tried to make the description of the controls a bit more explicit. Thanks a lot for pointing that out and also for your nice comments on the gameplay. Time-killer and restarting over and over again is exactly what I was aiming for :)

The final version will indeed include music and background, both had to suffer because of time constraints. You are also not the first one to demand a REPLAY trigger via keyboard.

Again, thanks for your valuable feedback and thanks for playing!

What a fantastic game! I love the graphics, the ideas, and the creative take on the theme. Well done, chapeau!
