Really cool idea for a platformer especially the extra twist of using the little character themselves to rearrange the level. I agree with another comment I saw about how the momentum on the platforms makes it a bit more frustrating than would be ideal, but overall really nice job!
Loved the 3D models in the games. The enemies have a really well done creepy design. It would've been extra nice to have a bit more animation for the enemy walk cycles and attacks but I totally get the time constraint given all the detail otherwise. I also think it would be cool to have some incentive to utilize more of the arena, perhaps with necessary pickups or upgrades scattered around. Overall nice job!!
Cool game! I really like the idea of a tower defense deck building game and had a fun time playing. It took a few immediately lost attempts to figure out the mechanics of the game so I think a tutorial would definitely help. Once I got the hang of it though it was really smooth for the first three levels. I do think the balance may be a bit off because it seems to ramp up a bit faster than you can reliably get enough units on the field, but maybe I was just unlucky! Nice job :)
Really cool concept with a fun loop. I liked how once I learned what I was looking for my mind quickly tried to develop strategies to remember everything. I also love the extra work you put into the story of the ritual. I think it could be nice to have some summary at the end of a run saying what or how many you got wrong because the sky color for example is a bit hard to discern (I thought it was brown and then that wasn't a choice).
This is my favorite game I have played this whole jam (I have played 75 games so far). I love this so much and played until I am pretty sure I have every character/word used in the game. If I had to give you one huge piece of feedback is that at some point fairly early into the game I realized that the planets are in order in the dictionary for every word based species, which means after 3 test tries for confirmation I was able to fill them all in and didn't have a mistake with any of those creatures for the rest of the game. HOWEVER the concept was so fun, I just kept playing to figure out all of the ancillary words that aren't actually necessary for getting the tasks correct. I also LOVED how you used phonetic overlaps to make some of the alphabets like d/t and (as a studier of Finnish) I especially appreciated what I believe I found was a p/v overlap. Such a wonderful entry, I wish this had more plays. Great art too!
Really like the visuals and audio on this game! It was fun to try to rack up a higher and higher score. My main critique would be that you can spam x without a cool down, which allows you to just run forward into enemies and delete them all. So I would recommend adding a short reset time to the attack so the player is forced to kite a bit. Nice job though!
Cool idea and fun game! I think it would be even creepier and suspenseful if the environment was much tighter and the house smaller just to feel a bit more claustrophobic. I think the game could also be expanded quite well by making the parents have additional threats to you when you are awake that require different distractions
I think this was such a good idea and I enjoyed playing through the whole thing! Overall the minigames were fun but I would've loved if there was a more cohesive creepy/nightmarish graphics style. Nice job!
Wow this is the most well designed platformer I have played so far! Really nice job with the level and puzzle designs, loved the teleport carpets you can jump over and the resetting box mechanics.
Wow really impressive game for a one week jam. Loved playing and I especially thought that the rougelike elements added that extra incentive to keep playing over and over again.
Thanks so much! We agree about the traits being visible, it was a difficult choice to balance the tedium of it with making the game too boring/easy by being able to directly compare with no memory involved. We appreciate the feedback!
Love the visuals and audio of this game. The leader board was a super nice touch because it made it extra addictive to keep playing and see the number go up haha
Really cool concept with an amazing level of execution for a game jam. Loved all the extra puzzle intricacies that can be added due to the extra dimensions and gravity flipping. Well done!
