Love that you built such a large city to roam in. Nice animations on the player character as well.

The models are just amazing! The game itself is really cool, although it felt a little slow, I think it would've been cooler if there were just more corrupted areas around you more often.

Or you could've done a more zoomed out perspective, that way you'd see corruption across town and have to plan your route to get everything

Noice! I really like the way everything looks, but I would've prefered a faster paced game! Somehow I managed to get stuck somewhere and glitch into the floor... One last thing! Where did you get the animation for the player character?

@slimmerburger Hey thanks for the nice comment! There is a minimap at the bottom right which shows all of the town and corrupted zones look purple in it actually! We have also realized the pacing problem but there was not really much time left for polishing as you know :D

@sephowepho We have also realized there were bugs like that but not enough time... well an unstable build is expected with this theme right?! :D

@arifacid Yeah, I have some bugs in my game even though I was focusing on polishing it as much as possible! It's just not something you can avoid in such a small amount of time!

@arifacid Ah, so there is, it doesn't appear unless I put it in fullscreen which I wasn't when I originally played it. And yeah I had a similar problem with my game, ran out of time for some polish :sweat_smile:

the visuals and the playable area is great, but running around gets a little boring after a bit. increasing the speed of gameplay might help a little with that. otherwise, great game!

Wow, great work guys :clap: :clap: :clap: The mood, graphics and audio in this are all superb. Really impressed with what you achieved here. The graphics specifically are super cool, love the textures. Gameplay could be expanded on, but the concept you have here is more than enough for the jam. Props! :thumbsup:

I like the art, it's got a sort of surreal feel to it. The game ran very slowly for me though, I am guessing around 5 fps, so I couldn't play it for too long!

The game ran very well for me . The music gets a little old after a while . I was not sure how to get more points . Good Job guys .
