This is super awesome. I reaallly love the visual effects and style in general. oh man.
The gameplay is a little confusing, which really adds to that wonder/exploration feel. Really interesting entry!

the game is really enjoyable. it was fun to play with this guy who supports all of your ideas.

It looks awesome! Unfortunately, wine can't run it :-(

patvanmackelberg 2016-12-12 21:20

Really awesome!

aaaleee 2016-12-12 22:36

Any chance of an OSX build?

tijmentio 2016-12-12 22:56

@aaaleee no sorry, kinda hard to do with gamemaker :/

This is super lovely. Me and Bubba had a blast, but I'm exhausted now.

Tried to emulate on Linux using Wine, says "Cabinet is not valid". Had the problem with gamemaker games before, maybe it works if you include the required dll's etc.

Very nice looking game with a lot of interactivity and a very solid engine. The actual gameplay was a bit confusing though. I'm guessing it was a bit of a sandbox, but I didn't really understand how to use half the items in the room (crayons, or how to catch with the ball).


As a note your entry is marked as a compo entry, but I didn't see a link to the source code. As part of the competition, you need to supply a link to the source as part of the rules.

This is a very impressive entry, especially the graphics and sound. The elasticity of everything felt really great.

The game is fun and lovely. makes me want to buy GameMaker and try. Any chance of a HTML5 build?

Nice job ! I like it.

I liked the concept but the music stopped me from trying again after a few plays.

Amazing game and really fun to play, just one question, any chance of we get the source code? I find amazing that 2.5d style sourcery from another world you, rubna and Takorii can make in GMS, but is beyond my level of programming, I would love the see this magic from behind the curtains!

Ty and good work :3

tijmentio 2016-12-13 11:13

Sorry will post the source asap!

This game is so so funny. I enjoyed so much playing with Bubba. Good job!

saucygames 2016-12-13 18:35

I love your style! This one is too adorable!

dietzribi 2016-12-13 20:00

Very cool. Really captures the feeling of having friends over when I was a kid. One of my favorite entries!

ajmalr 2016-12-13 20:09

Amazing artstyle, fun to play around in!

commodorekid 2016-12-13 20:54

It's a chill game. I think this could be easily a multiplayer experience with much more content and published on market. I could only get 3 achievements but it was enough to understand the concept. Very good idea.

rttstudio 2016-12-14 01:29

Really fun game, would totally see a full version of this, with more toys and all.

seleb 2016-12-14 15:55

This is a really neat entry! One of the best uses of the theme I've seen yet, and cute to boot!

Unfortunately I found that mechanically, it was kind of annoying to play. The gameplay ideas are all interesting, but the block stacking almost never works, the combat (the nerf battle especially) is really dodgy, and even the crayons can be hard to line up properly with the wall.

The visuals on the other hand are great. The cartoony look and bouncy physics of everything all fit together perfectly!

Btw, I played it with a gamepad, but when I briefly tried playing with the keyboard I found that the player character movement was messed up, and I could only move very slowly. Possibly a bug related to starting the game while a gamepad is connected?

jeroenman 2016-12-15 20:45

kawaii !!

mementogames 2016-12-17 22:04

Awesome entry!
Cute art and concept. Great use of the theme too.
And it has a lot o replayability. Solid work.

gfm 2016-12-22 11:24

Neat game! I was able to find most of the games, but I'm still not sure what to do (if anything) with the table and the sock...

I couldn't figure out the aim of the Nerf gun, so my battle against the slimes went pretty terribly.

I really liked the graphics! It's really cute and fitting the overall atmosphere of the game. And are the player procedurally generated? Theirs bounciness is great!

alexrose 2016-12-27 23:03

The visual effects were really cool, Tijmen style as usual. I couldn't figure out how to stack the damn blocks.

Why isn't this a sex game tho

franklins-ghost 2017-01-02 06:30

Great entry, was such fun just running around the room trying to figure out everything and the little mini games. Liked that you also gave feedback at the end of the day to let the player know what they'd achieved and what they could still try and do.

phocker 2017-01-02 06:30

super weird, but fun. it was neat to find out new things to do. well done.

jupiter_hadley 2017-01-08 19:13

Lovely graphics, very interesting, fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/7ZuTwiufN-U

jupiter_hadley 2017-05-04 23:30

I also included this game in an article of my favorites! http://fireside.gamejolt.com/post/jam-favorites-ludum-dare-37-gwqmcmek
