nice game :)

jcmonkey 2016-04-19 23:06

pretty good game there.

edocentrique 2016-04-19 23:07

That was so much fun, I'm saving this game to show it to friends ! Good job

stmatn 2016-04-19 23:24

nice idea :P
its really well executed. the controls feel a little bit clunky, but the visuals and sound are really nice. I like, that the robots pile up in the front :D
great work

zaywolfe 2016-04-19 23:31

pretty unique and addictive. Could be a fun game on mobile with touch.

I would change the audio the robot says when finishing stages though. It made me think I was losing when I was winning.

Can't pass pee-pee level. I think overall the game requires too much as it difficult to pose robot with mouse only.

It would be often the case that my robot stays on platform after the wall but the level would be considered failed. This is really not cool.

I gained a lot of respect when I have seen that game requires use of mouse + uses physics engine. Nice change from fixed position setting.

Weak Audio.

Overall: That was OK (this statement is the best in expressing how I feel about this entry)

Fantasticly amazing

umu 2016-04-20 01:40

Oh by the jesus goddammit. I was having fun and then the third came along and I really did try very hard but I just couldn't make it work. This is really hard to do without depth perception and there is virtually no margin for error. I do like the idea and the presentation is very nice. The pile of robot bodies is a nice touch.

andyman404 2016-04-20 01:54

Hilarious, fun, funny game! Well done! Very challenging gameplay.

skruffye 2016-04-20 04:59

Nice game, though I did find the inverse kinematics to be a bit frustrating at times. Seemed a little arbitrary as to what direction his limbs would move in.
Overall, good job though!

dwemthy 2016-04-20 05:05

Lot of fun

p4nurge 2016-04-21 18:37

Dare accepted and promptly failed! This is one of those games, however, in which failure accounts for a lot of the fun. :)

Great idea, charmingly executed. The choice of music was perfect.

01f0 2016-04-21 18:43

Wow, really nicely executed! Feels very polished.

No, the robots do not dream about yoga. They dream nightmares about the horrifying pile of dead robots lying in the yoga pit. :D :D

Great work!

f4kethis 2016-04-21 23:57

Couldn't run the application on Mac, it just throws an error straight off the bat that it can't be opened. Looks like you had the same idea I did though! Wish I could try it out.

jdmazz 2016-04-22 00:28

The fact is, this is really fun! There are two games I've played that I'd actually buy. This is one of them. :-)

kualitygames 2016-04-22 00:56

Really fun game to play, sets the right mood and I liked playback and recording the .gif options a lot!

mintarcade 2016-04-22 08:04

Super challenging and innovative game. Great fun playing and winning from time to time.

wg_phancock 2016-04-23 04:22

I've played several games with this theme, but this one is definitely one of the best. I never felt like I was really fighting the IK too much (maybe a little). The robot voice saying NOOO is absolutely hilarious.

chrismingay 2016-04-24 17:56

Think this is probably my favourite take on the theme so far, nice one :)

themeorch 2016-04-24 18:10

Really funny gameplay and presentation. If there were a way to better tell whether you're lined up with the cut-out, since it can be hard to tell with the camera's perspective.
Great work, lots of laughs!

romandtom 2016-04-24 19:13

wow. awesome.
But it's very hard, or I'm just really bad at this lol.
I think you should add some more space to mistakes, at least in the beggining.

omarhuseynov011 2016-04-24 19:51

This game is real HARD (pause?) but for real nice entry will definitely show it to my friends!

floatingghost 2016-04-25 03:15

BRING ON THE WALL
WITH ROBOTS

Nice game 10/10

pixelpotions 2016-04-26 19:50

This game is so cool!
I thought about something like that too, but this 3D style fits so well, I had lots of fun. Congrats!!

jk5000 2016-04-27 10:18

Hahahahahahahahahahhahahhaha...

ottersden 2016-04-27 19:31

What a spectacular game! So much detail and the music was awesome! Extremely fun, keep it up!

captainpilot 2016-04-28 20:43

Really fun game. Gets a tough later on!

gamepopper 2016-04-28 23:46

Definitely one of the funniest entries I've played so far. Gets really difficult to get the poses right, especially since any body part going into the pit is an instant fail.

The robotic voice, combined with the poses and physics made this very entertaining to play through.

lostalloy 2016-04-29 23:43

This is great! Really enjoyable experience, funny enough to made me almost spill my drink sometimes. I recorded a gif, but img uploaders say it's corrupted D:

31eee384 2016-04-30 00:51

Haha, cool game. I couldn't make it past The Yoga (not sure how the torso is even supposed to fit).

A few small points: due to the perspective, it was hard to tell where the hole was vertically, so I just ended up hoping that I picked the right spot. I think a big improvement in the part dragging would have been if you used the mouse pointer offset rather than snapping the center of the part to the mouse. I got used to it, but having the parts move when you just click on them was annoying, since it shifted all the parts around.

I think this fit the theme well too. Nice job, funny little game!

fenwick 2016-04-30 01:36

There were a couple other games like this but this is by far the best and most entertaining. The game feels really polished, the music plus the menu screens really make it feel really legit.

kad 2016-04-30 03:46

It's really difficult to get some poses right, but it's overall a very fun game. With a bit more testing post-compo to calibrate the difficulty the game would be perfect. Nice job!

quexd 2016-04-30 04:09

Nice idea and execution, very fun game overall great job!

jacob2512 2016-04-30 05:13

Love the concept! Wish i could control individual limbs without moving other parts of the body... sometimes i ended up missing by a hair's breadth!

puppetmaster 2016-04-30 11:15

You got my 5* on humor! Very cool game! The holes are a little to small. Keep up the good work!

recursor 2016-04-30 11:55

My only criticism is I think the controls could be a bit tighter. Perhaps clicking on a joint to freeze it or something, but then that might make it too easy. It was an enjoyable entry full of personality. I especially like the robot's voice. Nice job.

vapeurteam 2016-04-30 12:16

Nice game, had some good fun trying to make the robot stand the perfect way even though it can get pretty difficult for not much. It's a cute take on the theme, too
The music is well chosen, the graphics are nice and I definitely like the blasé voice of the robots :D

avinashd 2016-05-03 05:44

5/5 on humor, even though you ripped the sounds straight from Portal 2 :P

The movement is really imprecise, but that's kinda what makes it fun.

mementogames 2016-05-03 16:25

@Everybody
Thanks everyone for the comments! Yeah, the game turned out a little more difficult than we expected. And the controls feels a little weird sometimes, which is a bummer. We run out of time to polish it more. We're very happy that you are enjoying and having fun with our game. Thanks again!

@avinashd
First, thanks for the comments. Your accusation of we're ripping off Portal 2 is not true. We recorded and edited the robot voices by ourselves (We used my voice which kinda have a strange-high-pitch going on already). We did take a look at tutorials to make it sound more GlaDOS-ish. So we're kinda happy that you thought that the sounds were good enough for a Valve game.

avinashd 2016-05-03 16:40

Hey @MementoGames, sorry about the accusation, the sounds were really similar and because it was a 72 hour submission, I just assumed.

My bad. Thanks for letting me know :)

mementogames 2016-05-03 17:01

@avinashd
Hey, no hard feelings. We really took it as a compliment. :)
Keep gamedeving!

@ButtonMasherBros
AWESOME! Thank you so much!

wheerd 2016-05-04 23:20

Really fun game! Love the theme of it :)

medidog 2016-05-07 06:03

Could not get past the Peepee level, but very innovative and fun game! I enjoyed it :)

yumeito 2016-05-07 09:21

Fun game:)

adam 2016-05-07 15:36

I love the premise (best hole-in-the-wall game I have played) and the robot voice is hilarious! I like the use of the speech samples and the audience effect but I'm not rating you for audio because the music is such a big component and you didn't make it.

Main objection is that it's far too hard. I only managed to pass "The Redeemer" which meant that I ended up trying the same few poses again and again. (It's not clear why occasionally you get a new one to try anyway but usually you have to retry.) I also think it's a bit of a miss how sometimes the robot doesn't fall into the pit given that it means it doesn't add to the pile. Maybe a big scoop should push it down there like the lane reset machines in a bowling alley?

leo_p_mahon 2016-05-07 22:21

Oh Wow, that was amazing! I love how the crowd sings along to the song, really seals the mood. Very hard but I enjoyed failing just as much as winning. I have to say I was not expecting the audio to be so great given that you were using Kevin Macleod music but I was definitely proven wrong!

dcolgan 2016-05-08 03:26

Really fun and difficult I was just happy to make it past the peepee. I gave up on Peter Pan. The look and sound was fantastic. My compliments to your composer(s). My favorite thing was how the dolls pile up in a heap. That was some super juice.

lereveur 2016-05-08 14:08

Ha Ha it's so fun ! And not so easy at it seems... I really like the humour and mood given by sound and music, very well done !

2016-05-10 11:13
