Short, but the gameplay and the physics work really well. The graphics are also pretty nice.

wuhao 2012-12-17 03:55

Wish had more time to make more level, LudumDare finishes at monday 10AM, I went to bed at 7AM..

dmilham 2012-12-17 04:55

Concept seems original. A solid score for Humor. The main control mechanism could have used some feedback (maybe visualize a velocity vector?).

somfunambulist 2012-12-17 04:55

This game is great! I love the physics, which are rock solid by the way. The artwork is very nice, the sounds are funny and gratifying. I'd love to see twenty more levels of this!

leafo 2012-12-17 04:56

Funny idea. I like the graphics.

mscottmcbee 2012-12-17 04:57

Great fun. I loved the art and enjoyed the "blah blah" sound effects.

mamoniemm 2012-12-17 04:57

funny game , i like the ganganm man :0 and the strange language :) also the parallaxing :)

arakade 2012-12-17 04:59

Yeah, so it's an Angry Birds remake but really nicely done! Love the fact (intentional?) that the protagonist looks like "Gangnam Style" dude!

cjgammon 2012-12-17 04:59

great job with the graphics! gameplay is pretty fun too.

refrag 2012-12-17 05:02

Kind of offensive... but I suppose with a theme of "You are the villain", that should be expected.
Had trouble with the "launching" mechanic. There was no UI indicating I was preparing a shot.
Graphics are excellent and the audio is cute.

wuhao 2012-12-17 05:40

I agree, i should had some kind of feed back so sacks will be easier to aim

nusan 2012-12-17 10:16

Cool little game, i like the "bag a bride" concept, and the fact there is several levels.

infernet89 2012-12-17 10:34

Woha, really innovative concept and nice execution!
I was expecting a gameover if the wedding procedure complete before you can catch the bride, but it's easier now :P

wuhao 2012-12-17 10:41

Ye, I originally planned that once the priest finishes the wedding procedure. but didnt have time to implement that. Thanks for playing

georgebroussard 2012-12-17 10:54

Great game. Love the art. Sound effects of preacher talking is great. I had trouble figuring out how to throw the bag. Should have tips in game, and maybe show and arc on screen as you drag, but....fun mechanic and great idea. Could actually see something like this maybe working on iOS. Good stuff, solid prototype all around.

munchor 2012-12-17 11:03

Amazing entry, cool concept, great physics, phenomenal graphics and cool audio too. I loved Psy-Bagger.

elscootro 2012-12-17 13:59

Nicely done! Did you use any other tools like Cocos Builder for this?

wuhao 2012-12-17 14:01

No I didn't use cocosBuilder, since there aren't much UI elements. tilemap was done in tiled, I tried Physics Editor, but it didn't work well with cocos2d

lekochen 2012-12-17 15:07

The graphics are so adorable. Well done!

How did you get your game load so fast? Did you optimize for that? I use cocos2d-html5 as well but mine is so slow. Is because I use Dropbox to host my game?

lekochen 2012-12-17 15:17

Whoa, are you one of the cocos2d-html5 developers? Thanks for making this great engine! Great job!

wuhao 2012-12-17 16:04

ye Dropbox is really slow, github pages are pretty good actually. Also most of my images were saved as png8, which is really small compared to png32.
And yes, I am one of cocos2d-html5 developer

lekochen 2012-12-17 16:22

@Wuhao:
Good to know that, thanks!

alexfili 2012-12-17 18:58

This game is incredible. Nothing has made me laugh this much in a long time. Just the idea of throwing a bag over a bride and then the physics fun makes me chuckle every time. One of the best games I've played this year!

faust 2012-12-18 03:08

lol, this game is interesting, never thought the concept can be explain in such a hilarious way, great job.

lucky-luddite 2012-12-18 08:01

+1 for the blah effects. Maybe add more info about the controls on this page?

wuhao 2012-12-18 08:07

Good idea, i'll do that

robashton 2012-12-18 11:43

Very nicely done, I liked how the protaganist looked like PSY :P

sletari 2012-12-18 15:34

Very nice! Indeed, it would be good to have some visual feedback of the aim/strenght

prettymuchbryce 2012-12-18 20:27

As a virgin I can really relate to this game's protagonist.

drewfitz 2012-12-18 23:03

Hilarious! A suggestion: some sort of aiming indicator when you're dragging the mouse.

ahninniah 2012-12-19 00:21

It was really fun to play! Stunning graphics indeed!

I wonder, what for he kidnaps all these brides :)

atrodo 2012-12-19 03:34

Fun, but I really felt like I needed some feedback on what was going to happen with the throwing. Good game.

stryphe 2012-12-19 04:58

Good Game

spotlightor 2012-12-19 07:20

Love your graphics and humor. I think the best part is it can be played on mobile devices. Some visual feedback when dragging will be better.

wuhao 2012-12-19 08:21

I did not enable touch on mobile devices, so you can't get past title screen lol. besides, the performance is awful on mobile device..
Ye, like everyone's being saying, i should have implemented aiming vector

pereubu 2012-12-19 20:13

nice and short concept, i liked it a lot, maybe more feedbacks would have been necessary to help the player ( considering the time you had to spent on physics i understand the time needed to finish the game) great job D:

gnx 2012-12-19 23:21

Very good graphics and lots of fun touches.
Overall lags for me and the bag throwing seems very unresponsive with mouse control.

beerman 2012-12-20 19:54

Gloriously silly with great use of physics.

degtyarev 2012-12-21 07:30

Graphics is cool, but too booring

dek 2012-12-21 12:08

Hi, you commented my game and told me that it didnt work, can you describe what is happening?

davidwparker 2012-12-22 17:32

Good idea, but I had no idea how to actually bag a bride. I tried clicking / clicking+dragging, but nothing ever happened. It fired the bag a couple of times but never where I thought it would.

I like the audio and graphics.

What did you think of Cocos2-html5? Did you use CocosBuilder or just code?

wuhao 2012-12-23 13:06

if you release the mouse outside the game area (canvas), it won't register, you have to drag and release the mouse inside the game.
No I didn't use cocos builder, you can see my progress in the time lapse video at the top of this page

cwalter5 2012-12-24 04:28

It's too hard to tell where you are aiming, you should add a graphic to give you some indication of your throw strength and angle. Also the limited length of your rope is a bummer.
The sound is hilarious, but I'd turn it off after the intro.

All that picking but the game idea is pretty original and the mechanics work pretty well. I also can't find fault with the graphics.

csanyk 2012-12-24 04:30

This is one of the best and funniest games I've played yet in LD25. I'm impressed!

samoojamies 2012-12-24 09:55

Nice way to promote cocos2d-html :). The game looks great!

juaxix 2012-12-24 12:27

Nice!

Jeremias 2012-12-24 12:53

Fantastic game. I got all the brides. Was fun to play. Here is my feedback:

- Sometimes I wish to scroll faster back to my character for launching the next shot. Your scrolling algorithm prevents me from that.
- The rope is only shown the first time. Is this a bug? Shouldn't have every threw bag a connected rope?

Liked the graphics and the "bla"-sound the most :D

hatscat 2012-12-24 14:51

really funny!

kibertoad 2012-12-24 17:48

Excellent idea, but controls are very, very clunky, wish there was some force indicator shown.

dragonfi 2012-12-28 12:56

Very well done, it's really fun. Too bad there are only 5 levels, I could play this for a while.

superdisk 2012-12-28 22:51

Quite a funny concept. The 'bwaaa bwaa' coming from the pastor thing was very humorous, plus PSY capturing brides from a tree while the groom doesn't even notice is hilarious.

tyruspeace 2012-12-31 00:14

I like the hilarity that the physics rollin' and bonkin' added to the concept. Nice work! It seemed a bit buggy at points as the rope connecting the player and the bag didn't render reliably and I had a couple bags being reeled in at once a few times.

That ended up looking even more hilarious :P.

jezzamon 2012-12-31 05:16

Nice! The audio was a little annoying, but a pretty hilarious game. A little buggy at times though, like if you threw another bag before the first disappeared it glitched.

Nice graphics too. :D

galman 2013-01-01 21:10

Awesome game!!! Really fun and funny :D I played it a lot of times

azurenimbus 2013-01-05 04:59

I literally laughed out loud when I saw who I was playing as.

Nice gameplay, and I just can't believe this is your first time making pixel graphics. They're amazing.

conflictivelabs 2013-01-08 00:08

Hahaha, hilarious! Having a PSY-lookalike as a bride-stealing villain totally made my day. Cool entry.

wuhao 2013-01-08 01:54

Thanks for playing my game and giving me valuable feedbacks! This ludum dare was an epic experience for me!
