It shows just how detailed and polished the levels seem. It feels like the vertical slice for a really interesting game. I love how the mood is set, and the idea on getting smaller and smaller is very cool, and how the walls grow is also very well done.

I LOVE the idea of having to shrink smaller to get through small spaces. \nUnfortunately I couldn't make it past tutorial 2 - it might be a skill issue though. The blackhole on the bottom left part of the screen would always pop before I could get to it after retrieving the far right one. The graphics and idea is super cool though! The atmosphere is reminiscent of this mobile game I loved to play, GlowFish.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1009449,"author_name":"UkuleleFury","author_uid":"ukulelefury","epoch":1696487157,"text":":) Wow, this was fun!! I really love the art, the narrative, the audio, the gameplay, all of it! Thinking of a mobile-first interaction is always a great thing to do, and this uses touch simply and well.\n\nThe second level was really hard for me. I kept hitting both light balls near the end. It took me toooooo long to realize I should just go through one of them rather than trying to fit between them.\n\nI really like the character and the narrative and your cool unique text box system. BUT, I _really_ don't like that the back\/next buttons around the text box move when the width of the text box changes with the contents of the text. Not great UX. But, I mean, if I'm complaining about that level of UX in you game, the main bits must be ok!\n\nThanks for calling out the bits you did ahead of time and borrowed from elsewhere! Technically, you probably shouldn't be going for ratings in audio and graphics if you didn't make it all yourself during the time window, but I guess they seem pretty minor parts.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1009709,"author_name":"rankb","author_uid":"rankb","epoch":1696493685,"text":"The art style is pleasing and I liked the concept of the game!

Had no issues playing it using windows and firefox. The tutorial was a bit annoying at times though, especially in the third level. Had to try a few times. First I destroyed the black hole, as I thought thats what the tutorial wanted me to to. Then I got stuck and couldn't get through, because I could only push the rocks behind while beeing \"big\". During the third try I also glitched through one of them at the end of the level.

I hope it's enough to understand the mechanic.\n\nThe softwares I used:\n\nOpenMPT tracker for the main screen music. (I did the ingame music before the gamejam).\n\nReaper for the sound fx. \n\nGimp for the art (sprite, animation) . I did most of the graphics assets during the jam and I just use one midjourney image to fill quickly the background because it was too short to finish in time :). \n\nAnd construct 3 to build the game :-) \n\nHope you will enjoy it. :-)\n\nCheers.","title":"Inside Out","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/376001+376002+376003+376004+376005+376006+376007+376008+376009+376010+376011+376012+376013+376014+376015+376016+376017+376018+376019+376020+376021+376022+376023+376024+376025+376026+376027+376028+376029+376030+376031+376032+376033+376034+376035+376036+376037+376038+376039+376040+376041+376042+376043+376044+376045+376046+376047+376048+376049+376050+376051+376052+376053+376054+376055+376056+376057+376058+376059+376060+376061+376062+376063+376064+376065+376066+376067+376068+376069+376070+376071+376072+376073+376074+376075+376076+376077+376078+376079+376080+376081+376082+376083+376084+376085+376086+376087+376088+376089+376090+376091+376092+376093+376094+376095+376096+376097+376098+376099+376100+376101+376102+376103+376104+376105+376106+376107+376108+376109+376110+376111+376112+376113+376114+376115+376116+376117+376118+376119+376120+376121+376122+376123+376124+376125+376126+376127+376128+376129+376130+376131+376132+376133+376134+376135+376136+376137+376138+376139+376140+376141+376142+376143+376144+376145+376146+376147+376148+376149+376150+376151+376152+376153+376154+376155+376156+376157+376158+376159+376160+376161+376162+376163+376164+376165+376166+376167+376168+376169+376170+376171+376172+376173+376174+376175+376176+376177+376178+376179+376180+376181+376182+376183+376184+376185+376186+376187+376188+376189+376190+376191+376192+376193+376194+376195+376196+376197+376198+376199+376200+376201+376202+376203+376204+376205+376206+376207+376208+376209+376210+376211+376212+376213+376214+376215+376216+376217+376218+376219+376220+376221+376222+376223+376224+376225+376226+376227+376228+376229+376230+376231+376232+376233+376234+376235+376236+376237+376238+376239+376240+376241+376242+376243+376244+376245+376246+376247+376248+376249+376250+376251+376252+376253+376254+376255+376256+376257+376258+376259+376260+376261+376262+376263+376264+376265+376266+376267+376268+376269+376270+376271+376272+376273+376274+376275+376276+376277+376278+376279+376280+376281+376282+376283+376284+376285+376286+376287+376288+376289+376290+376291+376292+376293+376294+376295+376296+376297+376298+376299+376300+376301+376302+376303+376304+376305+376306+376307+376308+376309+376310+376311+376312+376313+376314+376315+376316+376317+376318+376319+376320+376321+376322+376323+376324+376325+376326+376327+376328+376329+376330+376331+376332+376333+376334+376335+376336+376337+376338+376339+376340+376341+376342+376343+376344+376345+376346+376347+376348+376349+376350+376351+376352+376353+376354+376355+376356+376357+376358+376359+376360+376361+376362+376363+376364+376365+376366+376367+376368+376369+376370+376371+376372+376373+376374+376375+376376+376377+376378+376379+376380+376381+376382+376383+376384+376385+376386+376387+376388+376389+376390+376391+376392+376393+376394+376395+376396+376397+376398+376399+376400+376401+376402+376403+376404+376405+376406+376407+376408+376409+376410+376411+376412+376413+376414+376415+376416+376417+376418+376419+376420+376421+376422+376423+376424+376425+376426+376427+376428+376429+376430+376431+376432+376433+376434+376435+376436+376437+376438+376439+376440+376441+376442+376443+376444+376445+376446+376447+376448+376449+376450+376451+376452+376453+376454+376455+376456+376457+376458+376459+376460+376461+376462+376463+376464+376465+376466+376467+376468+376469+376470+376471+376472+376473+376474+376475+376476+376477+376478+376479+376480+376481+376482+376483+376484+376485+376486+376487+376488+376489+376490+376491+376492+376493+376494+376495+376496+376497+376498+376499+376500?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/95\/9502fc1a979a13db60dc024f33d5d7544c3d2610801f44c5faa605828d618455","record":"shard-0\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/7f77144e03e8f88c5747c4241f6d9256a4d351b439857b754d486398f2281380.json","sha256":"9502fc1a979a13db60dc024f33d5d7544c3d2610801f44c5faa605828d618455","source":"https","stored_at":1784022493}}
