Chill by Dr. Argus

[raw]
made by Dr. Argus for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

​These days there are plenty of things to worry about. There's no shortage of fear and worry. What we need is more chill.

Chill is an experience. There's nobody to shoot. There aren't even any weapons. Your only goal in life is to keep your chill up. You do this by wandering around the space and listening to some super chill music.

Enjoy!

This game had me in two minds. On one hand, I appreciated the celestial skybox and the selection of music. When things were going well, I did feel compelled to chill. That said, the challenge aspect of navigating the levels felt frustrating as the feedback wasn't very tight. I understand that this might be a design choice, since there's a time limit on remaining chill energy, but I wonder if this kind of design is inherently antithetical. That said, thanks for the time, I had some fun with it.

whether or not you were actually done with your game's assets liked the empty block out in-progress game dev aesthetic this game has. The empty void was actually really tranquil. I kinda felt that the chill meter going down actually made the game a bit more stressful than I was hoping for? Instead of just meandering through this landscape and trying to keep my mood/chill leveled I was so focused around thinking about a timer. I'm sure if you take the timer out the game won't really feel like there's an objective, but maybe something along the lines of like a smiley face UI indicating your chillness could have prevented the general sense of rush I felt when my meter started to go down. Anyways, just a small suggestion. I thought the movement and mood of this game was quite nice.

enjoyed the cyberpunk look. some work to make the "chill" feel more diagetic would benefit you a lot here, I think.
