Nice game ^^ great idea.

Innovative game with nice graphics. The music volume is way too loud compared to the sound effects.

Cool idea, i laught a lot. Loved the music. Just one thing, using the spacebar and having a scroll on a small window makes the scroll to go down and you can't play, but it's alright if it's going to be on mobile. Good job!

I liked it a lot :) Nice idea with the mat, and well executed. Music and graphics were nice tool. I also had trouble with the spacebar-scrolling, which made it hard to play. If you are using Phaser, you can 'capture' buttons from the browser using following line:

game.input.keyboard.addKeyCapture([Phaser.Keyboard.SPACEBAR]);

Will replay later on bigger monitor :)

@trappytrap92 @Jakob37 : we test it only on big screen, sorry. Thanks for the phaser code. It must be fixed now...

Nice concept! However, the music gets played twice at the same time at restart.

jakob37 2015-04-22 08:34

Nice, it works fine for me now :)

The theme is fully respected and the gameplay is great. The graphics are good but the music is way too loud. Good job!

masterofnan 2015-04-22 12:23

Great idea, and nicely implemented - good stuff!
(Royal Tenenbaums Tennis next please!)

Good concept and the graphics were very nice too. Well done!

chaoslab 2015-04-22 17:05

the music on reset is doubling and tripling up ... ahhh ...

oinariman 2015-04-22 17:13

Funny game! I like the bell sound. You might want to add some in-game sound effects. Also, in my opinion, you should be friendly to your colleagues :)

dunin 2015-04-22 18:12

@AnimeGeek32 @Chaoslab : some people of the team like the funny music bug, some don't. We don't know if we want to fix it or not...
@oinariman : colleagues are your rivals, colleagues are dangerous, colleagues are a lie.

damns strange game with nice noisy audio :)

esayitch 2015-04-22 21:23

Pretty innovative, carpet as a weapon xD. It feels good to knock those buggers out too. Graphics are pretty cool, sound is all right but can get annoying. Cool game :) I noticed that in the first level, I actually died, but still went to the second level.

Good luck!

designernap 2015-04-22 21:26

Great idea, like the Wes Anderson reference and good level design. I wholly approve!

blobo 2015-04-22 21:49

Nice game, but the music stacking on top of itself when restarting after losing got annoying.

teamcalcium 2015-04-23 13:05

Great animations and graphics!
The game itself was a bit too easy.

hotboxgames 2015-04-23 13:06

Interesting mechanic, was confused at first but it actually turned out to be quite a nice little puzzle game :D

Persistent graphics style, varied scaling levels - kept me playing till it ended! Think the music could have used a bit more but still it fit the game, well done :)

tanser 2015-04-23 16:19

Nice game, the souunds are INCREDIBLY high though.

bace1000 2015-04-23 16:26

The music is way too loud :(
There should be some visual feedback if you're in the correct place to wave the carpet. Interesting concept, though!

drludos 2015-04-23 19:05

Nice idea, well executed, I like it! :)

My only complaint would be that once we loose a level, we have to restart in the basement - way too frustrating for a game with many level like yours :)

I like the graphics style too, and the humor throughout the game!

gnx 2015-04-24 05:28

Definitely an unconventional weapon in this one :)

Animations are super pretty and the game in general has a lovely style and setting.
I noticed some hit detection bugs with the carpets where it wouldn't launch a wave despite standing on what I thought was the right spot.

Also while I commend you for having music, it does get on the ears a bit after a while :D

Good game.

peterfsat 2015-04-25 13:50

Wow awesome idea! I loved your mechanic - that random walking makes it hard! I really like the graphics, animations feel complete and consistent!

One of the best games I've played in this compo ;)

arche-san 2015-04-26 11:02

Nice concept. I think it will be more fun if the player has a feedback when it can launch a wave on a carpet.

chrismcmath 2015-04-27 15:14

Nice ideas, reminds me a lot of those old crazy amiga games. I was hoping for closer adherence to the Wes Anderson aesthetic though- something I don't think I've seen in a game before.

jayson 2015-04-28 07:08

Hi guys, well done, very unique and fun game!

sputnik 2015-04-29 14:18

Nice idea! Great graphics and really good, simple and effective core mechanics. Music is really loud though.

cdgugler 2015-05-03 03:03

Awesome idea, one of the more unique entries I've come across. I love the style as well.

taro 2015-05-06 00:56

I think it has a good potential for timing/stealth-ish/puzzle game. The graphic definitely takes the cake. I wish there were better sound effects and music. The randomly moving NPC/enemies did not help the level design of the small stages.

01101101 2015-05-06 15:36

Cool idea, very nice art! Two things though: it's hard to know where you can stand to activate the carpet, even when you've done it before, and the music gets a bit annoying after a while ^^ But other than that, very nice entry, congrats to you all :)

zerocreativity1 2015-05-08 00:38

More forgiving save states would be nice. Its got a neat mechanic. its a fun little game.

dorgam 2015-05-10 12:33

Fun little game, I was really sad I had to reset from the beginning each time I lose!
Loved the animation.
