Your Average Lift Experience by Katsuhira

[raw]
made by Katsuhira for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

Your average lift experience is a small game where go deeper and deeper in the most confusing and especially unfunny story you've ever played.

Your goal is to get down from a skycraper by using the next lift near you. And if it doesn't sound exciting enough already: It's main, and only, game mechanic is a quick time event where you push buttons as fast as you can or you'll lose! Fun Fun Fun!

You only need (and can use really...) Arrow keys or W / A / S / D OR (for the really cool people) D-Pad of your controller.

Small personal note: First time going solo in Ludum Dare! Not my first game jam, as I was the artist on my past game jam entries. Learnt how to use Godot and GDScript and now I'm here! This jam was a successful one, in my opinion. It really was fun and because I planned everything correctly: No crunch was needed! I think I can be proud of this game, even if it is a little bit funky and weird.

Superior audio, unsure about the graphics after the top floor though. The QTEs were super awkward but I assume that was the point.

Pretty good really liked the music. Would be really funny if you added some events when you miss the buttons and change the history. But overall very well done =D

Knocked it out of the park in terms of writing and humour. Loved the simple scribble artstyle, it reminded me of the elevator doodles in Warioware games, very charming. The music really ties everything together and the comedic timing is spot on. Short and very sweet! Great job.

Damn that was awesome, writing and artwork were very nice, and the pace is just right. The music fits the game to a tee, but I'm not sure we should rate you on it since you did not make it.
Good job!

I really like how you conveyed the awkward moments! The audio was on point as well, and the QTE felt satisfying to complete. Overal great job!

That was a beautiful experience. 10/10. The parallax city and animation at the end was really nice!

Nice game ! I also restart it to see what will happen when you can't do all the touch before time end :laughing:
I don't know if it's your choice or a bug but the sound has a little scratch like if my headphone was broken

Hilarious Game!! :laughing:
Really love the experience

One piece of feedback, The arrow indicators are a little harder to read since they are sorta "blobby", maybe that is supposed to be part of the challenge.

XD XD XD, hillarious!!! I couldn't stop laughing. And great music. A pitty i can't give more then 5 on humour.
I know the waiting time between rounds is for comedic timing, but sometimes it was starting to bore me, maybe make gameplay more interesting?. The waiting reminded me of this neon genesis evangelion scene XD. Really loved it. Wish you best of luck for winning the humor cathegory!

Probably the best game I played this jam!
Everything was superb, good job. I laughed several time, and the feedback on everything was sooo good.

I just think you should not be rated in audio since you did not make the song?
