=== Primary Objective === A point 'n click adventure with VR and hoverbikes!
= Controls = Mouse to point Mouse to click
= Known bugs = Sometimes you might have to try to execute an action twice before it gets done. Yes … allegedly has three l's :/
= Description = As always, story is kind of … not present in the game, so you might be confused as to what happened in one of the endings :) I blame -5 hours due to family partying! *shakes fist* But this LD was a blast. Happy to finally finish.
Very smooth interface and story got me warmed up, I'd love to go through with it but I can't pick up that red jar, tried multiple times nothing happens. All in all fun game.
Oh my goodness, this is amazing! Incredible art, interesting story and characters in such a short game, and really nice music and sound! I'm flat out amazed and impressed!
Artwork is fantastic, and the radio messages are hilarious. Too bad there's not more, but it must have taken ages to draw these scenes! Audio is very fitting too, really feels like a DOS point and click.
This game has a real sense of place, which isn't easy to do. It felt like a little segment of a larger game, after you trek through the forest and before you scoot off to wherever that bike takes you. I would totally play that game, by the way.
Anyway, great work. Found all three endings. Loved the audio too.
Point'n'click adventure... now I haven't seen one of these in a long time.
Although I'm not sure how it fits the monster theme, this game is FREAKING AMAZING. I wish there was a full version of it. Got all 3 endings and want more!
Why does receiving the red jar teleport me to (that place)? And why can't I leave? Seemed arbitrary.
Text is really, really tough to read, especially the green one. Could use a better font, and a higher contrast border around it. Also, clicking while the text is up should skip to the next sentence and not make the character walk, I think..
Anyway, really great besides the points above. Amazing achievement! Beautiful graphics, creepy atmosphere. Mood and graphics 5/5!
I only got endings #2 and #3 though :( Tried a few things but couldn't get the last one.
Quick guide for people who are struggling with this.
How to repair the hoverbike. Listen to the radio a few times until you hear DIY instructions on repairing a hoverbike. After that you'll get a new dialog option with Irma, which will make her repair the hoverbike.
How to get ending #1. Get the VR headset. Try to leave on hoverbike.
How to get ending #2. Get the VR headset. Take the red data jar from Irma, plug it into the machine and use the console.
How to get ending #3. DO NOT get the VR headset, ignore the door in the beginning completely. Leave on hoverbike.
So, I'm stuck at the hoverbike repair part, damn I'm so bad at point & click XD (but I pointed everything and clicked everywhere ahah, I'm sure it's obviously in front of my eyes). Ah and GG, nice arts/sounds
Nicely done; always a fan when somebody does a point-n-click adventure, since it's sort of a lost art these days! I really appreciated the context-sensitive menu design and artwork.
I'm impressed you were able to make this for the 48 hour compo!
The audio and art are nice, the audio especially for the noise the terminal makes and the kickin song on the radio.
The ambiance is really well done. It sort of reminds me of Dark Seed a little bit.
[SPOILER WARNING]
One issue I have is, you discover how to fix the bike from the radio, which you repeat to the person standing... right next to the radio. It's also established when you turn the radio off that they are, in fact, listening to the radio.
Blew my socks off, you've kept the old adventure game tradition alive, and I loved the sci-fi elements. The art and sound design did a great job of building an atmosphere and I hope you continue this at some point, I'd love to keep playing and get some kind of explanation for the story.
Graphics were well done, and the corrupted text effects were super cool!
Music is fitting for the atmosphere, and refreshing. Something about it reminded me of Earthbound! (love that game)
My one gripe is that sometimes I ended up queuing up too much dialog (my bad, I just like to click on everything), so I have to wait for it to all pass before it will execute another action for me.
But really great job on this one! I had to see all the endings. Somehow it's creepier to get the red jar before plugging in the green one... Got totally locked up inside the console room! AHHH
Can't for the life of me figure out how to fix the hoverbike but holy crap did this world hook me. At first I was like "oh a jungle adventure game, cool" and thought I'd just click a couple things and move on but when I walked into the facility I was like "woah wait wtf??" lol You set a mysterious tone/atmosphere right off the bat and next thing I knew I kept clicking to see more about the world/mystery. Very cool work, esp in such a short time!
This game is incredible, especially considering it was a compo entry. The artwork was superb, the music was just right, and it was, albeit short, a complete game!
I had to play it 5 times to get all of the endings. If you just ride the hoverbike off into the sunset you're not a monster! ... although I guess maybe you are because you might have just stolen the hoverbike...
Oh wow! Colour me impressed! I'm not a fan of point & click games but this was interesting, dark and humourous all at once, loved the art! It reminds me of Another World, if only for the orange hair on the player.
Impressive! All that art in such a short span and what an evocative mood overall. Nice throwback to the heyday of point and click. Decent music too. Good work! Was I the monster?
This really took me back to playing old adventure games! Love the art style and audio, but couldn't make it past the hoverbike puzzle - just like old times! ;)
Loved the visual style this game has - the character and environmental art reminds me of games like the Blackwell series. The music is fantastic at setting the tone - great work! It could have been longer and more connected to the theme, but I really liked this entry. Great work, keep it up! :)
Loved the art and animations, the "high" res and low-color palette gave the whole thing a nice style, though I found the choice of font a little difficult to read, only really a minor gripe.
The music was lighthearted and fun and worked well with the colourful imagery. I played through to all the endings and enjoyed the "win" condition, very "war games".
I got a James Dean vibe from the protagonist, I assume this was intentional?
Really interesting game. I included it in part 13 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/1VzFVc1MuWc
Great game ! It was good and nostaligic ! Very nice job on visuals and sound , great atmosphere, i really felt like I was playing a professional 90's adventure games. Good vibes ! I loved it :)
What I liked : - almost everything, very good job !
What imo could be improved : - readability (typo + text fx makes it really hard to read) - that "I think the author wanted to add more tings but didn't have time" feeling. Not that bad, thanks to endings feedback handled correctly, but still there. Excellent overall, went through all the stories without boring phases =)
I've been up for too long... I'm stuck at the bit where you repair the hoverbike. Incredible work though, I like the graphical style.
