How does you game fit the theme?
What you see, and live, is not what it looks like. Junknitor is a story driven game with a fun mechanic based on physics. Is there something else to uncover?
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We used model some assets from the assets store, except for the player and scripts.

Nice game, but I don't like doing chores while playing games :D Other than that it looks very good and plays good, well done!
It's really satisfying "cleaning up" garbage while simultaneously knocking everything over lol, awesome graphics and sound design, great job!
The mechanics were well implemented, perhaps the strangest thing has been killing the black balls, I can't find the meaning beyond inserting another mechanic
Let's say that killing the black things means something at the end (I don't want to say too much). Hope you liked it and thanks for playing it!
the style ist awsome and the gamplay is also really amazing.
Well done: i liked it c:
I like the general idea behind the gameplay, the visual style and the audio (voiceover is always a nice addition), but the core gameplay loop became repetitive early on and sometimes I had a hard time running around the map looking for the last few objects (especially if I moved some larger furniture around and they became hard to spot). Some more audiovisual indication on what's trash and what's not could solve this. Also, I'm not sure why but I sometimes had a hard time hitting the enemies with objects, especially when close.
Overall, a fun little game with an interesting use of the theme, and with a little more polishing it could become even better.
Well... that was an unexpected dark twist... ^^
The game is reallly amazing ! You guys put up a lot of work. Not many jam games have voice over. kuddos on that :)
The vacum mechanic is very satisfying & fun.
little feedback : I had some difficulties identifying some of the junks (sometime cup are junks sometimes they're not, same for mugs) which mad me go around the levels several time trying to suck everything to find what I missed.
Appart from that, the game is really solid, polised & fun to play. great work ! :)
I'm really happy that you liked it! Thanks for the feedback, we'll definitely make something for that (we are thinking an "hint" feature maybe)
very nicely made! I got stuck in the first level 3 times and couldnt find the last object despite looking everywhere, so i restarted the game twice, bringing how many times i played level 1 up to 5 and how many times i watched the intro cutszene up to 3. I did not expect this amount of polish in a gamejam game, the fact this had its own intro cutscene and story kept me trying to finish level1. by upping the grahics settings from medium to good, i could finally advance from level 1 into level2. it was very worth the effort because with level2 and 3, the game was WAAY bigger than i initially thought it would be. Sadly, i got softlocked in level3 by jumping onto one of the boxes next to the stairs, and since i didn't have the energy to replay level 3, i quit. the levels got a bit too big for me to be motivated to find out what the rest of this game is about.
to summ it all up; good and unexpected story, interesting gameplay, i like messing with physics, and pleasing visuals. The soundeffects for sucking and spraying water were sadly unbalanced, overlapped and cut off. thank you for making this and reading my review, hope i wasn't too harsh with my words, i enjoyed playing this.
Thanks for the review! Yeah we need to polish more and we want to do it absolutely after the Jam! The sound effect, an Hint System for the last objects and "Black-Dirt-Things", and much more.
It has a finale with some twists that give more sense to the story and the theme of the Jam, sad that you encountered this bugs... Thanks again!
solid game. btw if you don't mind can you rate back my game thanks
Great job! the cleaning system work well and I find pleasure cleaning the offices, I hope someday I could fin this pleasure when I clean my appartment :(
I have been stuck in the 3rd level when I looked on the basement some boxes that were at the corner of the hall, the boxes were at high level and I was stuck between them and the ceiling :(
I wanted to see the end, maybe the theme is more explained by the end of the story?
Regarding the theme and the story, what i can tell you is that everything is not what it seems (sadly I can't tell you more without ruining the end sorry lol). If you want you can restart from the last level (click continue in the menu to continue from the last level you played)
It's a good thing you made a save :) so I redid the last level to see the end. I was kinda expecting it for the mother, it reminds me of Hitchcock's psychosis. But I didn't expect the knife :p Well done for this nice/bad ending !
I would have made the levels shorter. A lot of people couldn't appreciate the ending I think.
Nice game, I definitely didnt expect the game to be this polished and well done, really good game overall! Good job
Really nice game! I like the visuals, it shows that you put a lot of work into it. Also, I really like the audio, it really adds to the experience.
Great entry, you did very well!
I would love to have you playing and rate mine too, if you don't mind of course! ^_^
Yes definitely! I'm making a big list of games that i need to rate lol
Very well designed, very polished and the mechanics worked really well. I especially liked the talking sound effects. It is a very good example to make gibberish speech sounds. Very well done!
Thanks! I was worried about the gibberish, but I'm glad that is good!
I liked the idea, music, graphics... but I really couldn't finish it after level 3. I wish I could :( I don't really like aiming (especially on pc) so aiming without anything in the middle of the screen was a little difficult for me(I know things we throw don't go to the middle but it could help). And I wish I didn't have to make 100% to skip the level, I think something between 90-95% was enough because there always can be a bug or something that make the junk go into a wall or stuck somewhere and I spent e little longer time than I should, to find the last few junks.
I'd like some feedback on my game too :)
I'm really sad you couldn't finish it. in any case at the end of the Jam we will insert a method for the easy searching of the last objects.
The game is super long for a jam game😂
So I couldn't get to the ending bc of how long it was, especially since the player got stuck between some objects and couldn't move and I had to restart the entire level so yeah
I did kinda suspect the ending then the glitch thing confirmed it 😂
so I'd say that's really cool I'm a sucker for this kind of games😂
But I'd definitely rework the levels spending 30 minutes vacuuming items that tend to not go into your vacuum can be super repetitive and annoying
The other items are vacuumed too so you can hit the black blobs but they get stuck and don't allow the items you actually need to vacuum to pass through which is annoying when you have a small piece of trash under a lot of other stuff and you just spend a lot of time trying to get it to work😂
the hitboxes on the blobs were a bit buggy for me so I'd hit a blob with an item and it would bounce back and not kill it idk if that's just me but it was really weird😂
That being said, it's a really good game, the mechanic is really fun, the story is interesting, it has a lot of good potentials.
for one week of work its really something.
Good job!
Got stuck on 94.1%, not sure what i missed. Game is very nice though. Like the graphics and the wonkyness of the mechanics. Just having fun with physics is a great way to make a game intresting. Also the voices are fun, I don;t know if you did them yourself, but that is a nice toutch.
Have you passed the first level? If you haven't you probably have to kill the junkball. However the voice over was done by us to better immerse the player in the atmosphere of the game.
Show post...
cool game nice effort! i've rated
would appreciate a rating on my game too ;) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418965
I'll try to take a look at it tonight :-)
I wonder where that black blob is from lol
Well it's a very easy model, I'm not so impressed that others did the same thing lol, it's literally a sphere with two eyes (in the beginning I wanted to do the Spirited Away's ones, but then I simplified it for time)... Jokes aside I hope that you try and liked the game :-)
Awesome game, a tad annoying that stuff got stuck in the vacuum frequently but the game play was nice and the VOICE ACTING in the start is awesome. LOVE the audio and language used, well done :)
Nice game! It's funny and has an interesting take on the theme :) Well done!
