STORY

A day like any other. Every day is the same. The same cereal for years. The same procedure...

You sit at the old table you inherited from your deceased father for your breakfast. The last thing which is left from him... Suddenly the table breaks and you fall.

Now you can think of nothing but fixing this table that is so important to you.

But it seems that a regret, which is still weighing on your heart, is mentally bothering you and affecting your view of the world.

A mindbending game with jumping puzzles, a labyrinth and a cute puffer fish.

PATCH NOTES

V1.2

  • Bugs in IceLevel fixed that you not trigger Cutscene before you actually up on the Mountain.

V1.1

  • Game breaking bugs fixed.

  • Portals didn't display the end location correctly due to levelstreaming issues.

  • Fixed corrupted savestate between levels, so the end level and end scene can be triggered.

  • Fixed one display widget handling issue, which caused all other widgets to cease after a uncertain amount of time and produced several errors which caused significant framerate drops.

  • Fixed several errors regarding audio cues and weather stuff, that didn't act as intented.

  • Fixed several crashing issues on startup.

This game was created within the ludum dare 49 game jam.

Nice game! I really liked the graphics, they really set the tone for the whole game, and the audio just brings it together. 8/10 great game

Guys I picked up a bottle of milk, a bowl and cereals, but couldn't find out what to do next. Can you give me a clue? And my PC is going crazy after launching the game. Maybe you could optimize the use of resources?

I'd like to try this, but I'd rather download it directly from itch, or play in a browser instead of downloading it from a google drive. Are you considering adding a direct download on itch>?

@devparty @underdog @animawish Thank you all for your kind words! We really appreciate that you played our game and are happy that you like it :3


@lelulagames We are currently putting the finishing touches on our game and making sure that everything in our game works as we envisioned it. We will presumably add a direct download afterwards.

Why such a big team by the way? 18 people! How did you even managed to organize it?

@ivanpavlov we are all students in the same university, that many wanted to do the jam and we had one guy going back and forth how it should look and sound, it was a bit chaotic but in the end we managed to release it

@ivanpavlov We are a team that consists of game design students studying at the same university (from the first or second semester). Usually we participate in game jams as a smaller group of maximum 10 people. But this time we really wanted to participate as a bigger group, just to find out if it is possible for us to organize them well. :D We all communicated with each other via Discord in the voice chat. After we agreed on our basic idea, we split up into smaller sections (art, programming, writing, etc.) in different voice chats. In between we met again and again to inform each other about the state of progress and to see what is still needed (e.g. 3d-assets).

Great Game! Pretty good graphics and game art. The Jump'n Run was a bit too difficult for me took me quite a while to get to those nails :laughing: But besides that a really great job for the short amount of time!

I hate puns but I love the game. Very nice game but sadly I failed to play more because it's 3D...

@vishwah First you have to find milk, a spoon, cornflakes and a bowl for your breakfast.
Then something happens and you can go on a little journey into a desert, a snowy mountain and even space! You can open doors and drawers by pressing 'E'. Hopefully you can see more of our game. :)

Awesome game and the Art looks amazing! I really enjoyed the small cutscenes... unfortunately I was stuck at the Arcade Games Level. Don't know if I'm not skilled enough or it's to difficult or just both. :sob: But overall great game :two_hearts:

Probably the largest team size I've ever seen :sweat_smile:. Enjoyable experience that definitely shows the entire team's contributions and hard work well, I have almost no issues with this game and was a solid jam experience :smiley:

How you managed to stay organized with this team size is beyond me, I barely managed to keep my team organized and my team was just me :sweat_smile: I just wish the game held your hand just a tad more, sometimes it was really difficult to know what to do next. Other than that, you guys did a stellar job!

@uglyswedishfish Haha ^-^ Are you using some kind of organization like a Trello page? We found that very helpful. ^^ It was initially planned to add more dialogues... these would probably have brought more clarity to the game. Unfortunately, there wasn't much time to add them all in the end. ^^' Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so happy, that you like our game! <3

What a bizarre and interesting entry. Firstly, 2 gigs? Yikes that's huge. This game had some really interesting effects. Nice work in such a short time. I really wanted to play this to the end, but after I got the nails, glue, and hammer I could not find a way to do anything else. Not sure if I missed something, if there was a bug, or if you just didn't finish the game. The last level where you are jumping over the video games made my physically sick and gave me vertigo, but was extremely unique and interesting regardless. Let me know if there is a way to beat this game, I'd like to see it through. Great entry!

@almightyzentaco thank you so much for playing our game and taking your time to comment! 💜 sadly we couldn't add all the dialogue/monologue we prepared in time, so it's understandable that you don't know how to progress... all that jumping around must have been very exhausting, maybe try resting somewhere in the house to get to the final level. :) have fun!
