Lovely! I occasionally had trouble aiming, but I'm playing lying in bed on a touchpad so that's probably my fault. Prettiest game I've seen so far, the music fit, and it was pretty fun, too.

I think there's a good idea in here, but it's so confusing at the moment. It definitely requires a familiarity with individual lines of literature which I don't have. It's pretty hard once you jump into a scene to work out who is who, and what they should be saying.

Still I think it's a really interesting idea.

The idea is nice and the graphics are cool, good work overall.

Great idea and execution :)

Does "Idle" actually go to someone, or is it used to just get another script? The audience boos everytime I use it.

Lovely graphics! And it is an innovative gameplay! I had a bit of trouble figuring out what to do, but after a bit of trying, it started to make sense... The feedback to the user could use some impromevemnt (e.g., showing that you hit a wrong person with the script - it took me a while to realize I am doing something wrong)

12pechasofsouls 2015-04-21 08:55

It is used to get another script when you start :)

12pechasofsouls 2015-04-21 08:55

@GanonsSpirit the second one. Notice we are changing scripts so if we don't have an "auxiliary" one it would be impossible to do it.

But as you mentioned, It has not much sense the audience bossing with that. We will fix that

Beautiful assets, really good work. But it is a bit too hard to find out whose actor need the script.

big-cow 2015-04-21 09:16

Really nice graphics and animation. I feel it might work well as an educational game - it does rely on outside literary knowledge, which might be unfair on the player. The gameplay was innovative and unique, and a really nice take on the theme, I think.

Great idea! I really liked this game.

arubino 2015-04-21 15:59

Great! The GFX where awsome, the gameplay worekd well.
It was fun to switch the scenes and there where made very good. Had fun playing it.

paulozz 2015-04-21 20:16

A bit confusing but lovely graphics and sound.

hectigo 2015-04-21 20:31

The "Idle" script was really confusing for me too. Other than that the idea is fun and I love the watercolor graphics and the little animations!

red_fan-games 2015-04-21 22:34

A little confusing but once you get the hang of it it's a great game.

richiebranson 2015-04-22 03:10

had a bit of trouble with aiming at first, but once I got the hang of it, everything was cool. The music is AMAZING...loved the graphic puppet style as well.

mase 2015-04-22 03:26

Cool Chozo statue.

dylanwolf 2015-04-22 03:35

Neat concept, and well-executed, especially the music and graphics. I didn't have much problem finding the right person to give a script to, but it wasn't easy to figure out how to "save" a failing scene.

kipelovets 2015-04-22 12:16

Awesome watercolor style! Cool idea, though it's not always obvious to find the matching play and actor (especially with lines like 'Idle' and '...')

diventurer 2015-04-22 12:16

Very nice in many areas. I think the game is trying to tell me that I shouldn't work in theatre. :D

traumendes_madchen 2015-04-22 15:47

Your idea is really original, I liked the graphics and the way the characters were moving like puppets. The game is hard though: it can be pretty difficult to guess which line belong to which chacter of which play. And since every play takes place at the same time, you have to aim in haste...and fail a lot X')

newt_ 2015-04-23 00:16

Loved the art style and the unique mechanic! It was a bit difficult to understand what to do, but I think I got it at the end. :)

lolshouse 2015-04-24 03:28

Absolute chaos. I wish my drama classes were like this.

Some response on success would help the player gauge when they're going in the right direction.

I like the watercolour art style, fits the game very well.

conflei 2015-04-24 03:29

Dude what a game <3

teamcalcium 2015-04-24 09:33

Interesting Graphics!

smilingcat 2015-04-24 20:04

Very fun, loved running between the different productions and swapping the scripts around. Great artwork, too. Nice job!

slowfrog 2015-04-24 20:10

Beautiful waterpaint graphics and nice music, interesting mechanics but a bit rough from the start. What should I do with --empty script-- for instance?
Very enjoyable anyway.

12pechasofsouls 2015-04-24 20:14

@slowfrog your megaphone changes the script of the actor and the one woy have selected. --Empty script-- doesn't belong to any actor but you may need to give it to someone just for getting their script

badlydrawnrod 2015-04-24 20:45

It looked fantastic, but it was really tricky to play. Perhaps as others have commented, improving the feedback to the player would make it easier to understand when the player has done something right or wrong.

dcrfj15 2015-04-24 22:32

Very well done, the Graphics were beautiful, the music accompanied the game very well. This is such a fun and creative concept :D. I hope this game does well.

Only problem was that occasionally getting the script to go into the person you want it to was hard.

Good job!

12pechasofsouls 2015-04-25 06:05

Was good.

colindoody 2015-04-29 16:25

unique and iconic art style!

shrimpgunpistolshrimpslingergunnershrimps 2015-04-29 18:50

All the points for your game! Everything works great!

phocker 2015-04-30 03:25

very cool idea - the graphics were wonderful - it was hard tho and would be nice if there were hints after certain time for people to show

blindskystudios 2015-05-01 20:21

Awesome music and art!

jk5000 2015-05-02 20:19

Generally a really good idea, but find out what you are supposed to do is a little too difficult. Otherwise a nice game.

felipeberquo 2015-05-04 16:49

The art is incredible! You guys had a great idea, it was much different than the other games we're used to play here! Congrats!
