it was so fun i had to go back in for a second dip. beat it this time. looks like there's a secret ending? i'm too stupid to figure out how to get it though. the only bug/gameplay complaint i had was the jetpack was underwhelming (needs to be longer duration to fly around, 1.5 seconds isn't enough it's like a double jump basically) and the cannon holes were not large enough for the eggs. no matter what setup i had feeding the eggs into the cannons, they would get stuck if they hit the entrance hole the "tall" way. if they roll in right, it's fine, but if it doesn't line up it's getting stuck right away.

if you make this a full game, i'll buy it for sure! i had a lot of fun with this and hope to see more stuff like this in general. thanks for making this weird cloaca tickler egg clicker automation simulator game for me to geek out on.

i dont make too many itchio comments anymore, but this game was so good i had to say thanks for making it. it's crazy to me such a simple stupid idea can turn into such a fun automation game. please keep making games so i can play. <3 

well, for me i don't agree. "generic" means it happens all over the place and you can find it anywhere. I literally can't list a single game that makes you do 10 math like votv does. maybe edutainment games??? but def not anything in this genre. so generic? definitely not. you also say it doesn't fit in with retro computers... how old are you? this is how you used old terminals. you entered in data. this is PRECISELY what using old terminals was like (well, a gamified version at least). 

I think you just don't like doing math. 

p.s. my high score is mid 6 seconds. beat that. 

A lot of people play Solitaire while in a voice chat with others (myself included, occasionally), does that mean Solitaire needs a multiplayer mode? Because the second you add multiplayer to solitaire, it literally becomes a different game. Is that game better than the original? It doesn't matter, because it's already different and thus not the intended vision. Obviously, you already agree with me that adding voice chat effects the games atmosphere like you said. But you admitted to playing the game in voice chat all the time, so clearly the actual games atmosphere is not your priority here—it's messing around with friends. That's totally fine! There's tons of games like that already for messing around with friends. Not EVERY game needs to be developed so you can mess around with friends. 

The question here is if the game itself get IMPROVED from multiplayer, or just pushed into being something it wasn't intended to be? I believe that is what would happen,  and this game is so unique and special I would be truly bummed if it got multiplayer slapped onto it and became the next "wacky zany streamer game". Fans aren't always right. I don't need a partner in the mountains. Keep it solitary, please. If the game isn't fun enough for you without multiplayer, maybe you just don't actually like the game that is being developed as much as you think you do.

*sorry about all the edits i wrote this before coffee. added another edit to type this lmao

I like the math minigame and would not think any of your suggestions would improve anything. All your suggestions are just easier, more passive alternatives. Might be cool as an alternative for a difficulty setting, though.

Not every game needs to be multiplayer. Just because a game is great, doesn't mean it needs multiplayer. Just because you want multiplayer, doesn't mean a game needs it. VotV is a slow burn single player experience. The second there is someone else in the world banging stuff around the game loses all that atmosphere it's worked so hard for and just becomes a wacky sandbox. There are already plenty of wacky sandbox games out there, go check out some of the crazier multiplayer maps on Garry's Mod if that's what you want. I hope VotV remains as it was originally envisioned, and doesn't try to become something it was never intended to be. 

I played this! I liked it. The puzzle sorta confused me but I just looked up a solution cuz I think I wasn't understanding a mechanic. I also was confusing this Lovecraft story for At The Mountains of Madness so I was a little confused when I realized it was different, but I really liked the adaptation and would love to see more

I'm not gonna check. I am afraid of spoilers and imo if this is a bug it needs to be fixed and if its as intended, it also needs to be fixed lol. Thanks a lot for your help though I really appreciate it everyone this was so annoying. A lost hook and a day isn't so bad 😁

I don't know how to check, but I haven't done anything mean to them. And even if that's the case, i feel like putting my ATV in a location where i literally need to break the games code to get it back, is a bit extreme

I successfully glitched over into the outer area with my hook and a tree. But it was still a huge pain getting to my ATV, which was somehow pushed completely up against the actual border of the game. Right next to the glimmering red magic "can't go anymore" wall. I have no idea how it got there. It was just there one morning. It was really annoying to get to, because the terrain out there was not made to be walked on. I didn't realize how impossible it would be to get the ATV back over the fence. I lost my hook on a hill pulling myself up to where my ATV was from my entrance point to the outer area, so I couldn't get back myself easily either. I walked all the way around the game area carrying my ATV (which had -341 damage?) and wound up back at the entrance gate. Now I had to get myself AND my ATV back on the proper side of the game boundary, without a hook. Since throwing the ATV back over the fence was impossible because of the invisible wall, I had to get tricky. I grabbed my ATV, climbed onto the yellow railing by the entrance building, and tried to push and turn the ATV over the barrier any way I could. It was not working. Instead, the ATV was getting wonky and glitchy and sorta stuck in the air. Luckily, I got the ATV turned so the seat was facing the direction I needed to go, and while it was glitchy in the air, I sat on the ATV and quickly dismounted again, and fell to the ground on the proper side of the gate. I made it over! Now just the ATV. I was able to grab it while it was still floating glitchy where I tried to push it over the railing, so I started to yank on it from the right side this time. I was basically trying to pull the ATV through the invisible wall that's specifically coded to not let things through. I had the "grab" command enabled on the ATV, and I wasn't letting go of it, and I just kept wiggling it around and backing up. Things got really crazy. It started banging all around, getting all jiggly and the damage sound effects sounded like bad EDM. Nothing was working, it was stuck. My food and sleep were getting close to the end, and my caffeinated chocolate bar I brought was long gone. I decided to walk back to base and collect myself, at least I knew where it was now. But I didn't let go of the ATV. I just kept walking away while it was banging behind me against the invisible wall, and after about 100 meters.....bang. Got it. Snapped right back to me. After what felt like hours of struggling, I made it back WITH my ATV. AHHHHH THAT WAS SO ANNOYING. :) Good thing I had already done my hashes and signals for the day. What a great game!

P.s. total damage to ATV after I got back to the garage: 21,720. Was very grateful the repair kit was a one-and-done and not incremental repair amounts upon use. Also, for some reason it's fuel was over 300?? How??

P.p.s. I am still unsure if this was part of an event, or a glitch? If it was an event, please delete it from the game. O_O

My ATV somehow teleported outside of the fence over on the southeast edge of the map by Victor. I noticed it was gone the day after an event at my base, but it's been over an in-game week now and nothing has happened. It's still just sitting over out of reach. I would really like to use it, it really sucks having to walk around on foot. I'm over 15 days into the game, and I don't want to start over. I have tried to "reset" the vehicle through the save menu, but it didn't budge from its spot. If this is an event, it's not a very fun one.

I am on 8.0e I believe. Does anyone have any advice?

I don't think I'm going to try anymore. 🙁 I got really frustrated at it last night 😬 Thanks for the help everyone, but no dice. I guess my fridge is just going to be in the middle of the bedroom for this save lol 

Sadly, I'm already aware of this and have been using it in my struggles. 16 day save so I don't want to abandon it 😮‍💨 thank you for your help though

I accidentally yanked my fridge instead of the fridge door right out of the spot it rests in. it is IMPOSSIBLE to put back in its place. There is a lip on the floor so it's slightly raised where it is supposed to sit, so you can't lift the fridge up an inch to get it back in its place. and that's assuming you're lucky enough to even line it up right and try to push it back in.

Sure thing. Me and my friend made this in our spare time and its a much better game

Yayyyyyyyyy

I did the pixel art! Thank you so much for playing, your comments were great to read. 

HOLY SHIT, HERE SHE COOOMMMEEESSSSSSS

Is it only 2 screens? I REALLY loved the style and despite only seeing two screens I think there's a lot of potential and hope you do more.

Cheers and good work! 🍻

Loved it, just like everyone else!
I made ya a Lumps Play jam packed with thoughts & jokes. I hope you like it as much as I liked your game—can't wait until you guys expand more on it, what good news! Keep me posted :D

Cheers. 🍻

Great game! Really happy it's getting so much attention for you guys, you deserve it. Lot of work to do in 15 days! 

I made a Lumps Play for ya. They're visual with pop-up bubbles instead of reaction videos like normal let's plays. I hope you enjoy it like I enjoyed your game! 

It's cute :D Reminded me of an indie game I Lumps Played before called The Juice of God's Future. I lost a couple times on day 3 because the symbols didn't match up visually when they were supposed to (the inner part was rotated but it was supposed to be the same), but other than that I had a lot of fun passing judgment on all these people :D

Great entry, and creative take on a "point and click" type gameplay style without using all the typical tropes! Really enjoyed this :)

Excellent entry! It's a shame it's short but pat yourself on the back for me for making such a nice experience in such a short time. I'll follow you for future stuff 🍻

I admit I didn't spend much time playing it, but I thought it was cute and I'm glad I checked it out for a few seconds :D Gotta love Rick <3

This brought back awesome memories of the kitten canon shooter back in high school on flash game sites! Nice reference too, and pretty well done overall for a game jam crunch! thanks for making it, keep it up 🍻

Pat yourself on the back for me, 'eh?! 

This was a nice little journey through some strange, somewhat familiar, locations! Really glad you bothered to "Finally finish something" with this one, I enjoyed myself :)

Made ya a Lumps Play, too. Hope ya enjoy!

This was a cute little surprise!

It was fun seeing all the situations you programmed. Where can I get a dinner-cooking escape pod of my own???

Lumps Plays = pop-up commentary, like text messages on the video! Give it a try <3

This was a nice little romp through a different perspective, thanks so much for making it! Sorry I was a little late to the party, but I made you a Lumps Play. 

Pop-up commentary! Give it a shot:

I'm a little late to the game with this video, but I am pretty happy I didn't spoil it for myself before playing it.

P.s. My videos are POP-UP COMMENTARY! Give it a shot. 

This was cute and well done :D

Just finished checking this out, and I was quite impressed! The subject matter is dark and serious, but the tone and approach are very appropriate and really draw you into the narrative. 

Definitely a good one to try if you're a fan of the genre, or even just someone looking for someone to relate to!

🍻

I'm not very familiar with chinese horror culture, but this was a wonderful introduction for me and got me Googling. I really liked the way you presented the story, from the paper mario-esque art style to the general ominous tone. It's definitely far from a proper 'game', but whatever it is, I think it's a success and hope to play more from you in the future! 

Hope you enjoy my Lumps Play. Cheers and keep it up! 🍻

This was pretty good! I see you've gotten plenty of feedback already, though. Just wanted to say this was a great little narrative you all put together in such a short time, and it says a lot of things very quickly. I was a little confused about the actual death, though...

Congratulations on the well received release, I look forward to playing more. I hope it's okay for me to add my video to the "pile" you've collected! Hope Lumps brings a little something fresh, though. 

I died 3 times in a row literally within 1/2 a second each time before I even got to turn 180 degrees. Maybe make it so the enemy doesn't spawn right on top of you? 

I couldn't get past the very first question because blinking twice in a row gave me the same outcome as blinking just once, like it didn't give me enough time to blink again before it triggered the response. 

Where is the download link...?

It was cute, but nothing happened when I won!

This was quite good! The story really confused me, I wasn't really sure what literally any of it meant. But I really liked the entire building design and the puzzles were not challenging (minus that painting puzzle, wth?) but they were all super satisfying to get through! I can't wait to see what else you do with this, you're going to finish it, ya? Please do!

Thanks for the game. Here's your Lumps Play!
