Amazing! :D

Great visuals.

danidre14 2014-12-09 12:40

Really cool! Took a bit long to understand the timing of the game, but love the game-related music, and graphics!

ramonparaiba 2014-12-09 13:26

graphic is nice!

moldfire 2014-12-09 14:09

This was a great game.

biscuitwizard 2014-12-09 14:12

This game was ridiculous. I loved the whackiness of the concept and was surprised with the combinations. There were some problems with duplicates behind the animations but nothing game breaking.

Really great art, too!

simon_simon 2014-12-09 14:14

Sweet visuals ! Took me some time to understand the point of the game, but when you get it, it's very pleasant :)

Congrats !

(the music is awesome too)

ilokimo 2014-12-09 14:18

Yeah we had a big problem with the animation import, the plugin is early alpha to import that sprite animation, so our animations are full of glitches. The good thing is that now we have all the time in the world to fix these small things and add the gameplay elements we wanted how we wanted. Thanks for the comments everyone!

Poor Kittie!!! ><

Great combination of sound and visuals, but you should improve the Hitboxes

admix 2014-12-09 17:12

I like the graphics, very nice style.

businessclient 2014-12-09 17:12

Great art!

nov1kk 2014-12-09 17:13

nice artwork!

mintarcade 2014-12-09 17:14

FaNtAsTiC visuals and game play. Solid entry. I wish some categories had more that 5 stars.

sakergames 2014-12-09 17:19

Good job. Great artwork and engaging music. The game-play needs some polish, it's hard sometimes to make the creature jump when you want. I like the concept, so I'm waiting for the final version. ;) Keep working, make us, players happy! :P

Awesome work!

The graphics look really great!
Collision detection could be a bit better.
I had a small bug, where the rear of my animal would disapear, when dashing and the front arm was displayed in front of the obstacles (rear: zebra; front:gorilla)
The audio sets the mood really well.
Some explanation on the mechanics of earning party would have been nice. On my 2nd try I was disapointed, that I wasn't able to use the just earned tucan part. On the 3rd try I asked myself, why the game didn't give me the gorilla rear. Then I noticed, that you don't always get the game over screen and understood, that you use up the given parts and loose the game if you are missing a front or rear part.

All in all really great work!

lukepilgrim 2014-12-09 23:12

the art is awesome! the gameplay could need a little polish, but still a nice game for a jam.

ViliX 2014-12-10 21:17

Very comfy graphics :) (5/5 for that)

mechanicmoon 2014-12-11 10:13

Ey, great game. I love the crazy combinations and the music. Maybe the gameplay is too simple compared to the wonderful idea, but good job!

forge 2014-12-11 10:13

Amazing graphics, fantastic concept, innovative and smooth gameplay. An instant new fav! Great Job!

matthewdpace 2014-12-11 10:22

When the window is scaled at less than ~1200x760 the lever and selection boxes were hidden behind the animal selector for me. I eventually figured it out. A+ for weirdness, humor, and art for sure though.

sushin 2014-12-11 12:02

OMG I like the idea a lot haha, the graphics are super creepy which fits perfectly :P

peterthehe 2014-12-11 17:37

Excellent graphics

sushidestroy 2014-12-11 17:41

Graphics are slick

adventureislands 2014-12-11 18:08

Awesome entry. Great art and hilarious concept. The only major flaw in the game is that the collision detection is very wonky, sometimes your creature just takes damage from walls even though they didn't even touch them.

oscarabraham 2014-12-11 22:09

Beautiful graphics. Really cool hybrid animal concept.

monkeedude1212 2014-12-11 23:24

Good artwork, music, liked the theme.

Controls were boring and the gameplay not really that exciting. Graphics glitchy at times, music cut out. Solid artistry, programming needs work.

zimennik 2014-12-12 11:27

nice art

01rafael 2014-12-14 00:45

The graphics is so great!

zkenshin 2014-12-14 00:49

Fantastic visuals, nice job!

theunderminor 2014-12-15 16:38

If you did everything by yourself you deserve a big pat on your back, this is probably the best game I've played so far, a shame it's not in the compo : )

kaa 2014-12-15 16:43

Thats hilarious!! Very good graphics!

ilokimo 2014-12-15 17:23

@Scias, We were a team of 4, so no, I didn't do everything myself :) but yeah, we works hard and this would have not been possible to create in compo with our skills :D

urbanlogicgames 2014-12-15 17:48

Pretty unique idea. Gameplay feels a little rough, but it's fun. The art and design is pretty gorgeous too.

rico-albe 2014-12-16 13:26

The animations are a bit too rough, sometimes the giraffe has too heads, and some legs disappear, and the gameplay is weird, I don't think I understood everything that was happening.

Good mood in general with the circus feel, using the credits and game explanation as a way to introduce the circus.

The game is extremely beautiful as still images, congratulations to the artist, amazing job.

ilokimo 2014-12-16 14:04

animation problems are an issue with unity importing and corrupting some of the animation, I added a post jam version with corrected stuff

zayron 2014-12-16 16:06

This was fun and the graphics/art work was very nice.

snickersnacks 2014-12-17 20:19

Quirky and interesting, I like the concept. :) good job!

mach60kas 2014-12-18 01:13

Fantastic visual design, madcap antics and great music make this a joy to play. The only thing that really bothered me was the mixing of fonts and the difficulty of actually playing the game - it took some time to learn which parts did what, but often at the cost of a game over. I laughed at all the newspapers, so you're doing something right there. :P

Good job everyone, keep it up!

rhy3756547 2014-12-18 01:17

Astounding graphics, great idea! The animation is done pretty well too, nice work. The gameplay itself is a little bland, since it only consists of jump and dash. It was hilarious though, nice work. :)

friken 2014-12-21 15:44

fantastic visuals. The controls were a bit off. jumping worked but not sure what dash did?

mathmadlen 2014-12-22 22:40

Beautiful artwork! Insane, very creative idea, enhanced by the music.
Also - nice typography.

uvwar 2014-12-29 01:42

I didn't see what dashing was doing, or if it was helping me at all, and it seemed like you basically had to pick a certain order of animal parts to progress at all, or else you couldn't realistically jump over some of the obstacles. Also at some point my music just stopped playing. Otherwise, really cool aesthetic and sound!

el-pepi 2014-12-29 04:29

Very interesting, great graphics!
There isn't much to the gameplay and I find it very easy.
Some animations are a bit glitchy.
I think the parts you have chosen should be highlighted, because I didn't understand that right away, also make the lever more noticeable when you can use it.

pacogames 2014-12-29 06:14

Great game. Congratulations. Excellent graphics and fantastic music.

diegohenriquez 2014-12-29 08:02

Awesome job, guys--the atmosphere was excellent! It's a shame the text prompts weren't lined up in time for submission, though.

ilikescifi 2014-12-29 10:50

Ok this is epic! Great idea guys! A little sad too to be honest :(

garethiw 2014-12-29 21:22

I really like the graphical and audio style.
