Good take on the theme

The game doesn't work form me, I just have a map full of pies but all can do is moving with the mouse, the arrow keys doesn't do anything...

it's not very good to make a online-only game for Ludum Dare since there's nobody on it. well made nevertheless

Cute little game, shame no-one was around to play with me.

orange08 2015-08-25 13:54

it's kind of boring just walking around eating pies... it needs some enemies or something that can kill you... because right now there's absolutely no challenge to the game(and games aren't usually fun without being challenging)

It seems like a nice game. No one was around to play it with me, though... so I didn't submit a score.

Very polished - love the music :)

It's basically impossible to escape from a red blob so with only 2 players playing any game ends quickly.

Love the cute graphics and a good use of the theme.

There were a few other people playing when I tried. Overall was quite fun but there were some weird behaviours like getting the character stuck behind the top menu bar and pie count not being reset on death. Nice job!

zzcalvinzz 2015-08-25 17:48

would probably be fun with other people, but I was all alone :(

raducumiczzz 2015-08-25 22:43

Love this entry because the take on the theme. i played it once with somebody "hello there."

IF IT DOESN'T WORKS FOR YOU, CHANGE YOUR BROWSER

I like how it fits to the theme. Sadly, no one was playing with me :(

ponywolf 2015-08-25 23:13

I'm always impressed when people pull off networked games for the jam and in a browser even. I had a little trouble figuring out was I was doing, but overall a great entry.

Controls are a bit tricky, but a cool multiplayer concept. Great graphics!

aeai 2015-08-25 23:18

Nice graphics and a fun game, you need to be lucky though because playing alone is significantly less fun :)

colindoody 2015-08-27 14:43

Had a good time playing with 5 of my friends! A little buggy but the concept is a lot of fun :) Good job!

adsilcott 2015-08-27 14:44

Very fun game that is easy to pick up and play with friends.

jeasonfire 2015-08-30 11:01

Nobody was there with me T__T Still, I can see this being potentially fun.

noahbrocz 2015-09-07 08:46

Very nice game and cool idea. I like graphics and sounds. Please check my game too: Hungry Kaiju

ali312 2015-09-07 13:36

Nice, but a bit glitchy and repeatative. Got highest score of 44 in tournament and left, because nothing was changing.

paffe 2015-09-08 06:35

Good job on the game.

superfreak 2015-09-08 17:39

Adorable interpretation of the theme :)

crucknuk 2015-09-08 18:33

It was nice to see that i could play with others in a pretty stable game.
Really good take on it guys, well done :)

jodizzle 2015-09-09 08:48

I thought your take on the theme was quite nice. The audio and the character models combined with the multiplayer aspect was very cute. I also thought the backstory was nice :).

I noticed quite a bit of desyncing when moving around; oftentimes I would get jerky movement or become the monster only to teleport partway across the screen. Sometimes when I clicked "Go!" I wasn't able to see or control my character at all. While it was a bit hard to tell how much of an influence it was, I imagine this can't be very good for multiplayer.

The gameplay, though basic, was pretty fun and balanced well (e.g., monsters are faster but you can shoot them to deflect them back). I do wish there was some scaling though, so that players were awarded new "rights and responsibilities" (in the vein of agar.io) as they continued to succeed. This would encourage people to keep playing beyond just a shot at being put on the leaderboards. At the very least I think it might be a good idea to make the playing field bigger and to distribute the pies better, unless those already change with number of players or something like that, in which case, kudos.

Congrats on the entry! It seems especially ambitious for 72 hours.

kind of pacman without the maze. good idea.

Nice one, it really managed to surprise me!

I really enjoyed playing this and getting in your highscore table. I think it fit the theme really well, looked cute and played well.
