Ok. I give up.

I played this game a year ago during the 2019 jam

I saw the game you posted for the 2020 jam, and went back to this game for nostalgia's sake.

Everyone's talking about the credits scene, and the postjam update says wave 15+, but levels 6,7,8 all seem to be the same thing and I feel like I'm missing something.

I need help. I've been playing this game for an hour trying to find something, SOMETHING to justify all the praise people are giving this game but I have nothing.

Please, someone, throw me a bone here so I can enjoy this game.

what do you mean?

Gizmoo5 years ago

I love this!!! I managed to get to the credit screen and I've been staring at it for a good 10 minutes trying to process it lol I'm definitely gonna share this with my friends :))

Bretton Hamilton5 years ago

I'm disappointed I only saw your game after the voting period! I think it's incredibly clever and deserves way more credit than it was shown by the scores! Phenomenal work! I look forward to seeing what you do next! <3

Matteo Vera5 years ago (1 edit)

Thanks, it is great to hear this from a pro dev. Your team made one of the best games of the jam. My game's rating scores bum me out a bit but we did really well in popularity so I can't complain. I am planning to keep updating this game for a bit longer. Also thanks for nominating my game on that award thread.

Jenpai5 years ago

I can't seem to figure out how to get to the other part of the game, any help would be much appreciated!

The credit screen, is it some sort of code? It's so confusing. I just wanna help that poor turtle :(.

Interesting game, though!

I got to the credits screen, but I'm not sure I understood what was going on?

Matteo Vera5 years ago(+1)

Not understanding what is going on is exactly what I was going for.

kidpenguin5 years ago(+2)

I absolutely LOVE this game. That was an absolutely genius concept and a hilarious take on this jam's premise. I can't wait to find out how to get to that other part of the game and credit screen you mentioned.

Matteo Vera5 years ago

I think you can figure it out, but don't be afraid to ask for help.

kidpenguin5 years ago

Alrighty. I gotta ask for help. When the first alien ship on one level said "blood sacrifice" I was like "OH MY CRAP I THINK I FOUND IT!" But then nothing was that special about level 11 so I may have missed my opportunity.

Matteo Vera5 years ago

I think you are the first person to get to level 11 so congrats on that. You don't need to be at a high level to get to the secret ending though.

1111 11!

The way the music escalates as you progress through the story was neat

Also, is there a way to defeat the final mothership or is thomas stuck in eternal torture forever?

Matteo Vera5 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

There is a way to get to another part of the game and a credit screen but I don't think anyone has found it yet.

Dedzix5 years ago (1 edit) (+1)(-5)

this is a good game but I feel like by just using the number in your game you're avoiding to really think about the theme and make something creative.(ie for gmtk i feel like the only one was supposed to revolve around mechanics)

Matteo Vera5 years ago(+3)

It is a typing game with only one character. Typing games usually have more than one character. The inspiration was taking something the players expect there to be multiple of (letters in a typing game) and only giving them one. Also, games like Doki Doki and Frog Fractions were big inspirations.

ToreOpstaele5 years ago(+1)

It's a really good game. Is their also a version with words?

Matteo Vera5 years ago

No there is not a version with words since I wanted to stick to the theme of only 1. I just uploaded a new version with some more complexity and I would love it if you could give me some feedback. Thanks.
