Description

The game tells the story of a scientist who accidentally reduced himself to a microcosm level and is trying to survive there.

Is a story-driven 2D platformer with voice acting in the form of a diary. You have to meet another person and have a short adventure with the goal of returning back to the macro world.

Versions

Jam Version:

- The sounds and music sliders must be moved in the main menu, otherwise it won’t work. This is important because we have voice acting.

Post Jam Version:

- It is highly advisable to play it exactly (this plus 2 full days of development to add content that was already ready in jam).

Input

Cool art but there was not much of a game!

Interesting concept, really cool art and atmosphere. I found the platforming a bit too difficult

It is by far the most weird but also the most interesting game I have played in this jam. Congrats!

To begin with, this is not a game I would usually enjoy, as I am not a big fan of 'frustration games'. That being said this one really hooked me, I think I played for an hour or so. I did hate myself for part of it, but I certainly was hooked. The art is dropdead gorgeous, the voice lines are really charming, I am pretty interested in the story. BUT I couldn't finish the game. To be fair, I am not good at these type of games, due to never playing them, but I feel it may have been just too difficult. I don't fully understand why the health thingies don't come back when the player respawns (as I am in desperate need of them all of the times). The lack of checkpoints in level after we find Kerstin was also not great. And at the point where we need to collect a few resources at that different 'comet', I just couldn't. Whenever I respawned at Bob's I got swarmed by 8 virus thingies.

I think this game is meant for someone that has more skill than me, and I think if I did I would have enjoyed this a lot. I do wish I could have seen the ending, but oh well I have to admit to myself I am too much of a noob.

But again, it is a sign of pretty good game writing that I was so invested to begin with, and you should be really really proud of what you achieved.

Игра топчик, нарисовано красиво, играется хорошо, не было каких-то проблем с игрой (я про баги), есть разные механики и сюжетыч, игра мне очень понравилась, считаю даже лучше нашей игры, молодцы ребята. Единственный минус как для меня прыжок не на пробел, но это вообще вкусовщина и на игру это не как не влияет.
