Great art. I Like very much! Congratulations
I really like your art, it's very nice! The game is fun too. ^^
Ha, that was awesome! Really nice art style
Nice game! I like how simple it is. Some of the sounds were a bit loud but overall not bad. I love the music and art. The one thing I couldn't figure out was how to smack bats?
Very stylish entry and a good take on the theme... Is there a reason to not always stay with the umbrella activated though?
Great graphics, great audio, and great concept. Good luck!
Wow, that looks pretty polished and visually unique! The zoom effect is nice. You could add some screen shaking and blood or some other particles for smacking those bats. Solid mini game. Good job!
Loved the music :D Nice use of theme too :D
Really funny, great art and that would definitively make a good mobile game ^^ Becomes really hard quite fast btw :p
Good job, mate! I really love the graphics. :D
nice graphics and polish. simple, yet satisfying
Super fun and BEAUTIFUL
Nice little challenging game. I like the art style and a the music. Good job!
The game looks pretty and the audio is awesome and really helps the mood. The problem I saw was that very quickly, the speed of fall gets so high that I felt I am loosing control and my progress depends merely on luck and not on the actions I do. I also didn' figure out how to hurt the bats - your description implies that it is possible. Maybe improve the instructions?
Nice graphs and music!
And an interesting gameplay, I like that you can controll the umbrella, you can have then your own strategy: Fast! sloooow, hit, slooow, fast!just falling
SCORE: 227M!
I would rate the pixel art graphics 6/5 if I could. Really cool game with awesome mood :) 5/5 Overall from me
Super cool, I really enjoyed this - the music, sfx and graphics are all excellent, as is the control feel. The phone call was a very nice touch. :D
One of my favorite games
Loved the art and music (very very nice), not too fan of the gameplay, but it was well-executed. Very nice entry.
Very simple game mechanics but very fun! Graphics and music are pretty and I love the little joke when you pick the phone. A charming little game =)
I love the intro ! So funny ...
A little bit fast ... Couldn't really see what was happening. And the swinging felt ... It felt like I didn't have control, really. I would just swing and swing and a couple of times the bats would get hit but then I would just die. Couldn't really get into the gameplay.
Love the music. Great mood - I love how silly it feels - It matches the fact the phone call intro and art !
Not a fan of your voice-over : such a great bit, him answering the phone on the branch. But the voice itself needs to be ... It just didn't fit, somehow. Like maybe instead of giving instructions it should be his boss or wife yelling at him ? In like a silly, unrecognisable voice ?
Really good stuff though :) Thanks. Made me laugh.
It's cool to see you know your games strengths, nice art, a cool little background track - everything you need really!
I really like the art style and the gameplay itself is simple but fun
Excellent little game this. Only critique would be to have a tiny bit of feedback on the hit of bats and possibly a more obvious indicator of the umbrella range. Nice work!
Awesome art and audio. A little too hard to control, but a lot of fun anyway :)
So, cute graphics! You have a talent, frankly speaking. And a taste, ofc ;D
Gorgeous art, awesome music and i love the tutorial "phone". Great job guys!
Very nice! Best graphics and good sound
Most things great about this one. It was a bit hard to play with one hand (my cat had claimed the other). Music was extremely well made and most details of the game taken very nice care of. The phone intro to mechanics was a nice touch too. I wonder if the game could have been restricted to three buttons though (might have been my one-handed playing thinking), but to just have left and right and action and that action would cycle between umbrella fold out and smash-collaps to free fall. It could be worth a try at least. Great game. Hope you had as fun making it as I had playing.
How does a doctor even end up in such a predicament? Nice entry, everything works together quite well.
hello..thank you for this cute game
Great mood and feel, awesome art! Love it ^_^
Great art/mood. I like that you can fall slow or attack, but you can't have both at the same time.
Also the phone ring instructions were a nice touch.
Wow! What a lovely game! Great graphics, great music and it's really fun to play too! Got to play this again now.
Great audio, great looking. Nicely polished. Great overall. Very nice work. Really love the phone intro!
Lovely game. Great job :)
My best score was 113, I thought the game was pretty polished and was a pretty clever concept... but I didn't stay interested in it very long after feeling like it was endless.
The umbrella mechanic seemed pretty unique. I liked that you sometimes have to balance the choice between an aggressive attack at the cost of your safety. Quick little note though, it took me a second to realize I could press up to open the umbrella back up. I'm not sure if that instruction was on the phone, but for some reason I missed it the first time around. Thankfully, it was intuitive enough to figure out and it wasn't frustrating or anything.
The art was really very well done, it has a great style to it. The music and sound generally compliments it.
A couple of things could have improved it I think. Having a proper death animation would have been nice. When he dies you just lose control over him and it feels kind of disconnected. Being able to see that he's "dead" would be a good visual indicator for that loss of control, and connect the two together a bit easier.
Also I noticed that when you first fall off the tree, if you just move in the right direction instantly it sort of appears like he should be able to safely land of the side. That could have been a neat kind of easter egg to have been able to actually land over there safely haha.
I grew tired of it fairly quickly after playing for a bit, but what you have in is solid. The endless pit impression turned me off from it a bit, as I really don't care much about getting high scores. And I got a grasp of the mechanics quickly so the pure reward of learning the game was over fast.
Overall pretty good. It's a nice little game that has an interesting mechanic, but the overall gameplay ends up feeling a bit "by the book"... because the same structure has been seen before in many many other games. So while good, it doesn't feel like it's doing anything terribly new.
This made me realize how much I don't actually want to fall down a cave full of bats. Good work!
This is like the personification of what a game jam can be, nothing to say but awesome game!
Very whimsical game! It's great to see a whimsical game for once in all the super action stuff. I love the intro being the telephone call too! Great work, very polished!
clever game - nice graphics and great idea for the theme
I love the intro, the music, voiceovers, graphics everything! Such a charming little game!
Such a funny idea! I like the way you did the tutorial! The game itself looks good and is fun to play. Good job!
Very nice idea and good gameplay! Everything is so well put in place! Love your game
Wonderful art. Responsive controls. Simple but fun gameplay. Excellent audio. Solid. Nice job!
Really cool game ! The art style is nice, the music is very enjoyable and the controls are pretty good although the hitboxes can be pretty bitchy :x But definitely one of my favorite games for this Ludum Dare !
Oh...this is such a cute little game. The graphics are really cool looking. I love the dangling legs in the beginning of the game. I think the only complaint i have (not really a complaint though) is that the music doesn't fit the game in my opinion. Really nice entry. Keep up the good work! :)
Pretty cool, the art is fantastic. The game is very quick and may become quite unfair at points because it is either too fast or too slow so a middle ground would be good. I liked the phone call.
This is just crazy man! The idea with phone calling is tremendous. Game itself is also very fun. You definitely made good use of time.
Good stuff! A good fit for the deeper and deeper theme... oh wait...
This is great! I wish there was a score modifier for how many bats you kill - it's so satisfying to smash them! The swoosh mechanic feels really good... A bit more polish and I think this'd do very well on mobile. Bravo!
Graphics are lovely and the difficulty level feels just right for me! :)
Mood. Fantastic game. Would have rated high on humour, too, if it were an option. :)
Great game. Nice art style. I like the umbrella mechanic.
Lovely, lovely art and sound. The intro was funny :D I wondered what I was doing wrong until I figured out that up re-opened the umbrella. All made sense after that and made for an interesting gameplay dynamic.
The music in this game is amazing. Well done.
Nice overall. The start screen kinda reminds me of Monkey Island 2.
Beautiful art and awesome music. The gameplay is simple but very engaging. Overall, you did a great work!
the art!!! love this, and all the little touches.
Love the art and the concept is cool. A bit hard tho
I tryed and I loved it. The art makes the difference!
Yes! Very polished, would make a great mobile game. My favorite feature was pressing up to pick up the phone for the instructions.
The music surprised me, as it contrasted with the art style.
The controls are nice, and the umbrella functioning as both attack and defense is brilliant.
Add in some progression (more enemies, obstacles, etc.) and a bit more polish, and you'd have a marketable mobile game.
Wow, this is a full game. Seems like it is really finished. Enjoyed playing it! Excellent work!
Nice design and music. Fun and hard game.
Very cool mood. Love the graphics style and the funny animations.
Very, well done!! congraz!!
Super fun. Not a whole lot of depth (pun not intended), but a really cool idea and implemented really well. Love the music and the graphics and the intro phone call. I'll definitely be recommending this one.
a lot of fun. I just think it could have some animation showing that the character loses life. Other than that the game was very good. Fun, well designed and well developed. Great work. Congratulations
Very good take on the endless runner. A endless faller! Endearing art too.
Great game and really cool graphics! It would be a perfect fit for a mobile game.
Ideas to improve the game:
- Power ups (lives, bigger umbrella?)
- Ascending / Descending winds
One of the best games I've seen so far! Simple but fantastic! Art is great. Well done!
Very fun game! Nice clean graphics and smooth controls. thanks!
Well done! The gameplay is really nice.
10/10 would fall for eternity again.
In all seriousness though, this is really fun. The graphics are brilliant, although the anti-aliasing on the umbrella looked a bit odd.
Where'd you find the awesome wind and thunder sounds, out of curiosity?
You could have added humour in the rating! I would have added a couple of stars there too! Good work, everything works perfectly together!
Wow, I think this is the most finished game I have seen this LD! I'm in love with the theme, art style, animation and soundtrack! Everything is perfect, congratulations!
I'd only make the initial velocity when the player opens the umbrella a little faster, it's a bit tedious waiting to gain momentum to continue the game. Aside that, I have nothing to criticize! For me, you "won" this LD! :D
I adore the art style
Cool! What you've got is very polished and nice. Maybe add some pickups for a little more variety and you've got a really solid game!
YOU GET ALL THE STARS!
Honestly the most solid LD32 game I have played so far. Perfectly scoped, such a simple design, but wonderfully executed and polished.
Great job! I hope to see this being one of the top rated entries of this jam!
simple, fun and beautiful game!
Interesting game that took a few tries to figure out how new tactics in how to deal with the bats and spikes. Should one fall quick or go slow. etc. Great with some exploration to figure things out.
The core gameplay mechanic is simple, but really satisfying. The graphics and music make a great experience.
Hahahaha whoa! This is fun, loved the art! And the music it's perfect!
"Hello there" XD
Overall a well made game. Nice gfx, great music. Simple put nice gameplay, fits the theme well. Great job.
...Wow, this game is basically done. Great work!
Very cool game, very slick. Excellent art and sound. Game is simple but well executed. I like the risk/reward aspect where you can attack but you fall faster until you put your umbrella back up. Seems like it would be a candidate for a good mobile game. Cool stuff!
Fun, very fluid, great art and music, this game really makes an impression!
Pretty fun, awesome graphics, good audio although the phone call at the start explaining the controls broke the immersion a little bit. Great job!
Wonderful game! I love the graphics and the background music! The sound effects (wind, bats) are also very good.
Nice interpretation of a well known mechanic and fun to play!
Very well done!
Very well done, one of the best entries I have seen.
Best graphics so far, really nice animations.
I can see this game doing well on mobile...
Great work, love the art style
this is so good
Love it --perfect! Wish there was a *little* more "fwoosh" when you open the umbrella, but that's my only tiny grievance. Love the audio, love the unique mechanic, love the implied back-story. Great job!
Great art and sound, and fun to play. I like it :)
Great entry. Fun to play. Good stuff.
Neat game, awesome art! Keep it up!
OMG. The art style is fantastic!
Yay ! One of my favourite game of ld32 in terms of feelings !
I liked the phone call, really made it sound like one! Good job on both audio and graphics.
Good mix of sounds and visuals!
Amazing, good job !
<3 THANK YOU ALL for your awesome comments <3
Gorgeous, and love the music. A real gem of a game.
haha really nice entry, loved the color palette. Simple mechanic, fun game, you can totally port this for smartphones. Kudos.
Absalutley flawless entry. I loved everything about it. Dr. U for 1st place!
Love the art style. Good job!
Man, this is SO good! I got 157m, I need some practice, heh. It's super satisfying when you get in the groove and get the timing right when kill bats. The whole mood of the game is super polished as well.
My only complaint is the dead/invulnerable duration. I wish it lasted a little longer. I kept on getting hit by spike, then regaining mortality, then dying on the same spike again.
This is exactly the kind of thing I love to see out of an LD game. Keep it up!
