For a simple game made in 48 hours, Pink River is deceptively challenging and fun. It's proof that all you really need is one well done mechanic to have a good time, and I appreciate that about it.
I was wondering what all the hype was around this game but I fully understand now hahaha, this game is so great! Super super fun!
I don't know if anyone's mentioned this already but my brother found a bug where if you keep building the raft backwards you can move far enough back that all the incoming objects despawn before reaching you lol.
But yeah regardless we enjoyed the game very very much. Thank you for the very cool experience!
Such an awesome game! I really love the art style of the game! I'm personally a big fan of pixel art and especially when combined with 3D. The concept of the game is great and very original, the sound design is done very nicely, and the purpose of the game is very clear! I personally had a lot of fun playing it! On my first try I had no idea what I was supposed to do, but that's mostly because I accidentally started the game and missed some very important information haha! Overall a wonderful game! Well done!
It is a very fun game, but I recommend that you put a store behind where you appear to buy things with the diamonds you get, it would be more addictive to know that you need those diamonds to be better in the game. :3
Really fun game. You guys are aware of the bug where you half pick up a block and it moves with you but you can't place it anywhere? It throws you off a bit and losing track for a moment is death. Distracted me in my last two attempts. I'd definitely buy a version for a few bucks (or even just donate a few here) if you clean up that bug or add some new stuff.
Saw someone play it in a gmtk compilation and it immediately stood out. Really cool, and fun to play as well.
Wow! This game was very fun to play. I didn't quite understand the mechanics at first, but after dying a couple of times I got the hang of it. The art and music are also phenomenal.
Actually. I would mind. It says team red pickxel on it, which is not us. Please remove that if you use the artwork but check with red so that part is okay :D
Phenomenal game, the core game loop is interesting and dynamic and you are at the mercy of the river. Visually it stands out. I would love to see this fleshed out or ported to mobile. You have definitely earned a follow on Twitter and I can't wait to see what else you do.
Awesome Game! The art is great and the music really fits in to the game! The game mechanic is very original and I think it really fits in to the theme. I love the pixel art style and the strategic concept, where you can move the block parts of the raft. The game is overall pretty fun and enjoyable! I can't believe that you guys made this game in only 48 hours! Great Job!
Really cool game! loved the design, the art is amaaazing! and the concept is such a good take on the theme.
however i would look more into the enemy design as i more often while playing felt like they stopped me from enjoying the rest of this masterpiece.
maybe considering not having the projectiles and such at all or consider the possibility to build walls as protection for them or slowing them down abit. they felt a bit tedious to me.
Really a fun and awesome game! I love the puzzle aspect in it!
I am not sure if Unity allow that easily, but once the competition finished, do you think it may be possible to build a Mac version of it to help sharing it to others people?
I wish you luck for the Jam! I didn’t look at much of the others games yet, but I see Pink River in a winning position!
Pink River is an Itch Dot Io indie unlike any other that I have experienced
Visually stunning, mechanically innovative and hecking difficult its blend of creativity and unique-ness is wonderfully refreshing
Furthermore there is much that could be expanded upon here beyond its current state as a 48 hour game jam to provide different game modes/difficulties as well as a more competitive experience between friends (a point which I raise at the end of this video).
However I would be more than happy to purchase this on console platforms with its artstyle lending itself to a striking physical box release
Really love this game! Great colour and style, fun and challenging gameplay.
Reminds me a little of The Flame In The Flood, but in a good way, not derivative at all.
I don't really understand how the cages work.
I'd love to see you expand this further - Saveable progress maybe? and multiple levels with different challenges? or at least have a leader-board so you can try and beat your best distance.
Amazing in every point of view. The aesthetics are supserb, sound is very chill and nice to hear, and the design concept is just excelent. The idea of using moving platforms much like your HP is fenomenal. I can imagine a insane Coop game with this very same mechanic. Hope you keep working on it!

I enjoyed the game, the aethics were cool but I found out the enemy that shoots you very hard to avoid, especially when you got only two platform

I can't launch the game is this a known bug? I'm on windows 10
This was an awesome and unique game, think you making this game, it was fun to play.

thanks! Yup aware. I think it happens when you put down a block on a non attached block and then pick that up or something like that.
Loved your game! I even started a new channel and uploaded a review of your game! If you are curious here is the link:

Really excellent, I've been really enjoying playing this.
Wow, crazy concept :D love the potential here, and the looks are great as well!
We made fanart for your game! Hope you like it!
do you mind if someone was to use this for a thumbnail? as along as you were mentioned
Of course! Feel free!
Actually. I would mind. It says team red pickxel on it, which is not us. Please remove that if you use the artwork but check with red so that part is okay :D
We don't mind at all, It's your game.
Oh I love this game

I added this to the boot.config, then it worked:
force-d3d11-bltblt-mode=1
extremely good
Pretty cool game !
this game doesnt bore me. it challenges me and it blows my mind what you can do with the rafts to overcome challenges!

Everything else felt great to me tho! good job!

Awesome game, you deserve to win the competition. Which engine did you use?
Unity

Great work!
Can you make a linux version please?
Saw the tweet for this! As much fun as it looked! Those mer-people are tough! Can see this being on the switch!
You are a true master! Please teach me to to make games, Sensei!
This is so good and so polished!
Very unique and fun.

this is such a good idea
Show post...
THIS IS SO COOOOOOOOOOOL
So neaaaaat
Great look and feel!
Saw this on twitter, I hope you win GMTK.
Love the game play, and the pixel art. Also, the sound effects and the music bring the atmosphere to life.
Although, keeping track of the players high score and distance traveled would be nice.
Perfect !
Wow! really impressive what you accomplished in 48 hours! the art is asbolutely amazing!
Best Game Ever
