The general mood really came together for this game! Everything from the music to the visuals to the gameplay itself really contributed to the generally relaxed feel.

Really nice graphics! I kept having the game bug out on me though at various parts so I don't think I got very far. What I saw was really nice though!

generic_ghost 2015-04-20 23:58

I see you opted out of the theme category for voting, ha ha. I really enjoyed the art and mood for this game.

xbcw 2015-04-21 00:03

Fantastic artwork. I got stuck several times moving around the area.

sluce 2015-04-21 00:04

It is a great little story! I love the art and the music they are so whimsical. You guys did a great job. However, sometimes when the characters got close or when they stood on top of each other they begin to vibrate and bug out.

Fun game and great art. Was a bit clunky with players get trapped in each other or the world, but I wanted to see more of the world. good job!

monkeedude1212 2015-04-21 00:11

Good graphics and audio, and the controls didn't feel clunky or anything. Didn't really match the theme but really its a good start to your own game!

cultofmonkey 2015-04-21 00:11

Lovely, but I'm afraid I couldn't get past the door

yozz 2015-04-21 00:12

Thanks, guys. I'm updating collisions at the moment.

dannorder 2015-04-21 00:12

Very short, and it was a little difficult to figure how to progress even when you were doing the right things, but this has a lot of charm. The graphics were particularly awesome for something put together so quickly. Would love to see what this becomes over time.

smilingcat 2015-04-21 00:14

Awesome artwork, great job. Though I believe the correct name for the breed of cat may be "Punk-assed Hellcat", not "Striped ass". I know because I have one. ;-)

gene-z 2015-04-21 00:30

Good game ,,, very nice artwork

bossmojoman 2015-04-21 00:39

Love the Graphical style! The mood was great, and the gameplay seemed pretty cool. The only thing missing was the theme. Great job!

crawler-studios 2015-04-21 00:39

This is a beautiful game. Gameplay was ehh for me, but the graphics and the music are just amazing! This is the best entry I've played this Ludum Dare, awesome work!

calavera 2015-04-21 00:39

Wow such beautiful art! the music is great too. with is was longer!

sugarbyte 2015-04-21 00:40

Cute game. Amazing music. Strong graphics. What did this game have to do with "an unconventional weapon"?

havacore 2015-04-21 00:40

Nooo!!! I was hoping for it to be longer. You had something really interesting going on here! The music was awesome, art style was awesome, and those few mechanics you got to show off had such potential for some great platforming.

red_fan-games 2015-04-21 00:40

Verry laid back feel to it

emmelineprufrock 2015-04-21 00:42

Love the artwork. Got stuck in some places with the enter key and really wanted just a bit more (but that's a good thing!). Great work.

gruhn 2015-04-21 00:44

Wow, great and beautiful game. I really liked the art of trees and clouds, and that music...

Just a detail, if a player is on the right margin and another on the left margin, there comes a time where both are out of the screen.

simon-parzer 2015-04-21 00:44

Nice graphics, music and overall atmosphere. The gameplay is a bit on the weak side with the mechanics feeling awkward, but at least it's possible to play from start to finish. I don't see how it fits the "unconventional weapon" theme, but maybe I'm missing something.

destruktorrr 2015-04-21 00:45

This game had a lot of very high pros, and a few minor cons. For the pros, as others have said, the unique mechanics, interesting character development (seriously, I've seen high-budget, feature-length films with less character development... great job!) and great choice of music made this game a must-play! However, the biggest downfalls I found were the fact that you can't control your characters during conversations... At the very least, they should be able to move around, still, even if they can't progress. But again, this is a -very- minor issue.

Great game!

retrogradeorbit 2015-04-21 00:47

Love the co-operation mechanic. Cool low poly graphics, too.

pikmin4000 2015-04-21 02:49

Wow, this is really cute and brings back some memories. I find it amazing the art, story, and music you made in just 48 hours, I'll surely follow you on twitter.

juaxix 2015-04-21 09:49

Outstanding graphics =)

marinalucio 2015-04-21 20:09

Great to see such a pretty game like this with some narrative too. Good work on the art and sound. :)

yoon 2015-04-21 20:49

The overall mood is very unique, the characters, the environment and the music fit perfectly together. This is the strength of this game.

Too bad it doesn't require a lot of activity from the player. But I guess this is the price for such a poetic game.

It seems like I have a very different opinion on this game than everyone else. I don't like the game at all. I can appreciate it, but I just don't like it for some reason. Sure, the graphics are beautiful, I can't make something like that not even in a direction. But for some reason I don't like them in this game.
It needs some polish. There are bugs with somewhat every mechanic, and the mechanics are cool but never really executed. Like the balcony thing, it only happens once. The length of the textballoons annoys me.
The game is just too short and too lacking to be fun. If it brought something that's both not waiting for textballoons and not "press a to b", then it would be fun. But that never happened.
Music is nice. Mood is OK.
I don't see a reference to the theme either. I find that disappointing. I think I know why I find this game not great, that's because I find it so disappointing because it could be so much more then it is now.
That said, this is all very, very subjective. And you made a game in 72h. Good work.

louis-denizet 2015-04-23 09:12

Really moody, good graphs and ambiant =)

ruka 2015-04-23 10:39

I found a bug, i can't move after spinning animation.

kabutakogames 2015-04-23 13:03

I like the low poly look graphics, would've been cool to see more story!

colindoody 2015-04-23 14:46

beautiful graphics and relaxed atmosphere! The only complain is I got stuck several times stuck in the game.

nikteddy92 2015-04-23 14:54

Hey I really like this one! The graphic is really cool!
And you used construct 2!
Well done!

cryogenesis 2015-04-23 15:29

This is a really nice feeling game.

Gives me a kind of Fez/Braid feel.

Great job!

hmightypirate 2015-04-23 20:22

A bug got the guy stuck in the house so i couldn't continue.

I really enjoyed the aesthetics of the game!. Nice graphics and music. The gameplay was also a good idea.

jumbocactuarx27 2015-04-23 23:39

Lovely use of mandolin in your audio. The dialog elicited a few chuckles from me and the art was gorgeous. Really nice job!

ossi 2015-04-24 04:28

That was really great! The graphical style, music and the start of what seems to be a really charming story. The throwing mechanic is interesting but clearly you didn't have enough time to expand it. Not exactly sure what the unconventional weapon is but either way this was fantastically done. Great job!

safran 2015-04-24 10:23

Graphic and the theme is wonderful!

ainoraz 2015-04-24 12:12

Nice graphics, nice music, like the game idea and overall awesome game. Good job!

prowler 2015-04-24 12:58

Very good game :D Keeping the characters together was actually quite fun!

strong99 2015-04-24 18:32

Cool game, especially the graphics and the way you need to use both of the characters to get further in game. It's a promising end. Well done!

khaotom 2015-04-24 23:22

Cool glitch: if you turn mama around just as you are unlocking the door, she moonwalks through the house :) It's pretty sweet.

Bad glitch: if you have georgey boy pressed up against the door, sometimes holding enter will get mama stuck in the air and you have to reload the page.

blobo 2015-04-25 01:40

really nice graphics and music, but dude got stuck in the door.

dkoding 2015-04-25 10:02

Did not see the connection with the theme. Graphics were great, also liked the mechanics. The game ended before it had begun... too bad, I wanted to continue.

lucien 2015-04-25 15:42

Lovely graphic

landosystems 2015-04-26 01:23

Such a great mood and style, the visuals an the music fit together so nicely. Amazing work!

nosoupforyou 2015-04-26 02:32

Very pleasant artwork and music, and the gameplay mechanics seemed well done. I would have liked to play more of this game but it kept bugging out on me and I couldn't progress very far. With a bit more polish this could be great!

pachowstudios 2015-04-26 05:37

The game is really pretty but there isn't much of a game. I didn't really have any fun with it and I ran into multiple glitches and collision bugs.

kaijuu 2015-04-26 07:10

Game is so awesome in many ways! But I always stuked in environment.
I very like graphics and mood.

mase 2015-04-26 23:47

It's possible to skip the "throwing" part via coordinated jumping.

The environment is very pleasant looking. Consider putting the background scenery (hills, mountains) on a separately scrolling layer to create a parallax effect.

I don't care for the character sprites... they look too South Park-ish. Their proportions are odd relative to the houses and doors.

sebasrez 2015-04-27 18:10

It looks great but it kept getting stuck for me from throwing each other to when the girl did her chopping. She would just hover and not move. It looks really cool and the style is amazing!

hbocao 2015-04-29 23:38

Damn, this game is pretty. Go tell your wife that.
The music is also very good.
The gameplay remind me of Brothers : A Tale of Two sons, which is a good thing. The bad part is the dialog are annoying because it locks my input. I got stuck 4 times before I gave up from restarting (because of the dialog). :(
Polish this idea and keep rocking!

triplevisiongames 2015-05-05 19:51

Really great art and really great sound. I liked playing it 2 handed, although it was nice to play with another person too. Got a bit stuck sometimes but awesome work still for a weekend!

fabraz 2015-05-05 20:09

Love the thematics, cute art. Nice narrative but the dialogue could be written stronger. It should also not interrupt gameplay. Why not have the dialogue appear as is but let the player continue to be able to move?

jmborden 2015-05-10 18:03

I like the simple, yet very effective graphics. High marks for me on that. The thing I didn't like was that I had to restart the game because my characters got stuck. I also wish I could have just pushed a key through the dialogue. The graphics are what makes it really shine. The audio was also simple, yet effective. Good job.

mrshoestore 2015-05-11 01:28

this game has a very good look, but there is some stickiness to the controls/jumping that made it difficult to play. jumping sometimes just didn't want to jump (when doing the jump to the balcony).
