Simple mechanic but overall really fun! Good work.

This game is frustratingly fun. I wanted to stop but I couldn't. The graphics are are very simple, and it doesn't really follow the theme, but the game has an interesting idea and is very challenging. Overall I really liked it.

Nice game :D At first i didn't understand why people wasn't getting the umbrella, then i realized i had to get more cause i sold all that i had xP good job!

Simple concept but it works well and is surprisingly very fun. Keep going on!

That's very cute! Like the upgrade system

Nooooo the game crashed at the day 5! Man, the upgrade system is really keeping you focused ont the game, you always want to go further.
Some ideas for other upgrades :
- Moar Speed !
- More time before customers disappear.

Nice one.

This is pretty addicting. Nice theme interpretation, not exactly fitting but original! The platforming is a bit floaty though. Lots of fun! Umbrellas left text could be more visible, I didn't see it for a while haha

Very funny and addictive. Works well. However, the moves, jumps and collisions are reeeeeeally too sluggish. I persevered and bought the golden umbrella though!

Very well balanced gameplay (as far as spawn times and speed) and upgrade system! It took me a while to get used to the jumping controls and physics. You took a very simple mechanic and refined the feel and balance. Good job!

toccio 2015-04-21 21:53

I'm really happy that you enjoyed it!
I'm sorry for the bad physics, but it was my first platform since a long time, so i did my best xD!
Love you all <3!

(I know that the number of the umbrellas left is not so visible, but i remembered to add it when the "hud" was already done!)

Cute game, but make it faster! :D

toccio 2015-04-22 16:03

I've uploaded a new version with the jump fixed! Now it's almost like a real jump XP

This is a cool basis for an addicting game. I think speeding everything up (player movement and character spawning) would make the whole thing more exciting. You may want to have the player sprite change to accurately reflect how many umbrellas they're holding (or at least show the player holding 0 when they are carrying 0), instead of always appearing to hold one. Nice work!

toccio 2015-04-23 22:06

It's just that, the umbrella that he is carrying it's his personal umbrella! U__U
However thank you =D

Nice job!
The upgrade shop is a good idea.

ayy lmao

The enemy is the sun, the weapon is the umbrella. Very cute twist.

gamequester 2015-04-24 23:20

A little slow/floaty movement and jumping. But I had fun for the time I was playing. Good Job!

jprogman 2015-04-26 23:03

Love how you added names to each customers, heh!

megaponies 2015-04-28 23:24

Such a fun simple concept! I really enjoyed playing :D The movement was a bit tricky at times but that can also be part of the challenge.

peecestudios 2015-04-29 23:45

I loved it! Played way more of this little game than any other game added so far! Its tough, but seems to stay at the same pace the whole time, and needs a bit of a speed up as you get more umbrellas to hold. Individual names were a fantastic detail.

mantlair 2015-05-01 15:56

had 5000 with some upgrades. Gave up. It was really fun with awesome music but really i can play dota B). Nice simple game. Keep up good work.

nicealexanderas 2015-05-03 23:02

What a happy game, great work :D

darkgrisen 2015-05-04 21:54

this is a Humor 5 star game! XD
They look so simple but also very funny that you almost laugh!

joe40001 2015-05-05 15:22

Pleasant little game. Doesn't quite scale or escalate enough to want to keep playing to the gold umbrella.
