While I liked the game and the artstyle, Please, please, please, for the love of god turn down the motion blur! When I ran, everything turned into a hazy mess. It was incredibly disorienting to play on top of the frame rate drops. (Which, could be a problem on my end.) At least give me the option to do it myself in the pause menu.
(I want to clarify, I enjoyed everything else, but this significantly brought down the experience for me. On top of the couple of times the game froze up and wouldn't let me progress through the dialogue. The Plasticine art and creature design is great, their dialogue was funny as well.)
Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback!
I'll keep in mind to add more performance options for players in future games :)
Glad you liked the artstyle and characters in spite of these setbacks!
I feel like I was too harsh in my last post, so I want to make clear how charming I found this game. It really is extremely cute (in a kind of grimy way, which I love and want more of.) And it came together at the end really nicely. You did a really good job. Also great to see someone using the FilmCow sound effect pack. :)
Thanks for all those kind words Bloxxynoah :)
This sound pack has so many great samples to create a weird and organic vibe!
I'm sad that more people aren't playing this game.. The art style is truly remarkable, and the gameplay is super fun ! Story is great too. The only downside about this game is that it isn't longer. Unrelated, but the art style really reminded me of Conker's Bad Fur Day lol. Amazing job !!
Thanks to Chloe for stopping by the video. Leaving it here to hopefully get more people to play it ! Great stuff guys.Thanks for this kind review and for your video! I want to make my next game a bit longer. I totally see why it made you think of Conker haha, it must have been in the back of my mind while I was developing!
really kool game + art style.. also...
my buddy did a video on this game check it out..Thank you, it means a lot! The video is really great!
This is a must play ! The atmosphere is weird and eerie AND it is not a scary game :D If you're afraid of scary games / jumpscares, you don't have to worry here, just download and enjoy :)
Thanks a lot for this awesome review Nonomiyo :D
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game, and your video was really fun to watch!
