I love your introduction :D Some doors are kinda hard, others are waaay easier, but it's a nice challenge overall. The puzzles are quite original for some. The voices are :ok_hand:

The W key not working. The narration at the start was awsome :P

The W and A keys don't seem to respond for me, so it was kind of awkward having to use the arrow keys and hit space with my palm. Graphics seem nice, wish there was some music to fill in a lot of the silence tho. Overall pretty fun

It was pretty cool, I like this sound, But I can't pass level with number 14. Overall it's the best game of those that I managed to see.

This is a funny little game. Some of the puzzles are really great, but some of them did not make sense for me. Overall a fine LD game. Well done.

@denissobolev you can pass the Room with the number 14 ;) the sum of each rows and collumns need to be 14

It would be great if it wasn't so bugged, in some places I have no idea why I'm dying... And no, I will not sit through that starting monologue for the 4th time, thanks. Like the jokes, it's definitely 5 for humor, but the game would greatly benefit from subtitles (no offence).

@siarhei-pilat you can skip the dialogue by pressing "N" the only "bug" that you can have is when you jump too close from a wall if you die it comes from somewhere ;)

Ok. This was frustrating experience. Second door is unfair. Third has bad colliders on "stairs".
But overall i like it.

@hitnrun76 oh so you managed to make a game with zero bugs, that's amazing
Alazarius
09. Oct 2019 · 19:27 UTC
@zimennik yes there is bug that we cannot find with the colliders physics, don't know why but I did'nt found how to fix it, it's a weird bug. @siarhei-pilat if you died mate it's not out of nothing, calling hitnrun on that is kinda unfair, but hey if you did'nt liked it so be it ^^

Very cool game, no kidding. It’s only a pity that I have to wait for a very long dialogue at the beginning, when I re-pass the game. A lot of cool mini-games and even a little plot. I wish you good luck in GameDev guys.

Great game!

@lone-wolf How do Linux users usually get by playing LD games? Do you guys usually use Wine or a VM or something?
Lone_Wolf
10. Oct 2019 · 22:22 UTC
@elmos-minion WINE on my side. And it didn't work for this game

@lone-wolf I can try to build a linux version, no promises but I can try ^^ I'm going to do that tonight

Nice game ! Challenges are fun, the jump sound effect is hilarious as are the voices ! Some music would have been a plus. Félicitations from a fellow frenchy !

This a beautiful game! The narration is excellent and gives me a kind of experience that I didn't know I needed until now. One criticism I have is that the tilty ball room legitimately gave me motion sickness and it took a while to recover. xD I also had issues jumping up onto ledges if I were too close, for example in the moving wall squish room.

Anyway, I loved it!

Question: Is the second room on the left meant to be completable? I got to the coin at the end and even dodged the final spikes, but I couldn't do anything after that.

@daitse Thanks man :D

@joe-williamson the second room is not impossible the coin is a bait you need to fall down, dodge the ball and then the spikes :)
