I like this a lot. The screen does need to be reduced in scale a little.
I like the idea of figuring out things for oneself.
“What happens if I press this?” is my favourite question in a game.
I’d love to see how this is developed after the jam.
Well done.
great use of light and shadow. The colours are great. I was expecting things to get darker to maximise the need for the torch. Has great potential for level design.
tops!
Very slick presentation. Every fit into place, very tight. I love the music loop.
I felt there was a just a little lack of player agency to much depended on the diceroll, just like monopoly.
A mutliplayer version would be interesting. I liked how some card referred to modifiers on other cards (power stations). That seemed to promise a lot of strategy if against another player or a bot.
He spoke to me in Oirish! Bizarre! What a coincidence!
Bizarre the whole thing is bizare.
I love it to bits.
It’s like a polish cartoon from the 70s while we waited for Sesame Street to come on.
:-)
solid platformer with the required (and often missing) unique element.
Graphics help it stand out from the crowd too.
The level design was cool. I’d love to see this develop maybe with something like npcs or many places to explore rather than a linear journey.
Cool RPG. I think overscoping is the perfect way to test an idea and see if has potential beyond the jam. I love the scale (being guilty myself).
The music and graphic style is coherrent.Everything works well together.
Will defintely check this out in the future to see where it goes.
Music is so funky.
Graphics are perfect. The first level took a few minutes to think in reverse. Reminds me of Lemmings.
Great potential for level design.
I’d love to see this in a few more builds. Powerups, RPG stats like damage,luck and health,or Paper Rock Scisors as you suggested. Modifiers to the six bullets (and one in the chamber)- I know it’s a cannon, but maybe a semi automatic cannon :-).
Great game and open source :-)
The light as a weapon is very slick, it keeps the game mechanics focused.
The map is big and plenty of variation in the monsters. The graphics and music fit the game perfectly.
Lovely graphic style and the music fit too. The different classes was a very unusual but excellent addition. And diffuiculty levels too.
A polished gem
Fun game. My instant reaction was this makes no sense. Seconds later I got it. Seconds later I was struggling to keep it going.
Original gameplay, least I’ve never come across it before. Music and graphics fit the gameplay perfectly.
Very challenging.
Definitely achieved it’s goal. I don’t think any more intro is required,one figures it out quick enough. Being a bit disoriented added to the first jump scare!
Well done.
So Big thanks
Yeah the room on the right at the very beginng was to remain locked unless you went all the way back (the lever at the very end room would unlock the door).
Only those weird enough to actually go all the way back would see this.
Unfortunatly this was not the directors cut.
Due to time constraints and interference from the movie executives, I had to replace the idea of a cut scene for the hero with a group of volunteers who agreed to act as extras in an absurd unscripted ending where characters from other games where inserted into the plot and congratulated the hero.
Just like the Shining scene in the Blade Runner ending, it happens all the time.
The feedback from pulling levers was poor-they were meant to unlock the doors and get incremented in the panel on the right. Even a temporary description until the feedback was in place might have improved the experiece. But I’ll be back at it next week. I document what I do over at the gamedevjs discord channel over the past few months.
thanks for the suggestion
Thanks. to be honest I sacrificed the end game over the beginning thinking most people will give it 30-40 seconds a few might give it a few minutes, but nobody would make it to the end. So I made everything really easy, screwed up the movement while tying to perfect the animations.
And din’t get to make a cutscene. So no you didn’t miss anything. I ran out of steam :-)
But I’m going to fix these things and it’s open source so I expect it to improve
Cool! Character and content could easiliy be said to be my focus. (which is why the coding over movement suffered).
There is a “logs” tab that I din’t get round to connecting to the game’s data store to give your progress on pumps and levers etc.
And there was meant to be a cut scene at the end.
