I finished the first level after quite some retries. The idea is quite interesting. And fits the theme perfectly.

I finished the first level after quite some retries. The idea is quite interesting. And fits the theme perfectly.
cool! very original and i liked the short stories as well
Really fun game. I got stuck on lvl 3. It's difficult in a good sense.
I used also "What a small world" approach. My thing didn't work out exactly, but I loved yours. It found it a bit harder. Congratulations for this great entry in such a short time.
I thought your game was very well crafted! It looks like your graphics were 3rd party, but you did a great job of providing a unified aesthetic. Your game had a very interesting premise, and I enjoyed playing it! I did have a couple notes. The game was difficult to control, and the hints didn't really sink in for a while leading to a frustrating beginning. I would broaden the view a little and let us see more of the area around us. Right now the car deaths feel a little arbitrary. Thanks for sharing!
Cool little idea, one of my first ideas was similar to the "Oh What a small world it is" but I couldn't think of how it would play. I like the character animations, especially when you get hit by a car.
Fantastic game and great concept! I love the idea you have here, it's especially fitting with the theme.
Very funny, love the concept and cute animations/sound. Unfortunately I couldn't actually get anywhere in the game! Movement was very fluid. Controls for getting the angel's attention didn't seem to be working / was very tricky (and everyone was too crowded together).
Anyway, nice little game:)
I don't get it at first but nice game. Though sometimes it's a bit problematic and hard to win even at the starting levels. Collision is a problem for me I always die. Other than that it's nice, love the character designs.
I got through the first level but then got stuck... most of the time I lost from bumping into people when I wasn't near them. Maybe check the collisions. Otherwise good idea and nice art!
Love the idea! Warm up society~ It's realistic and pretty hard though. Stuck on the last level (Can't find the secret sign... Any hints?)
Haha the game is very cute! I love the premise of the game and those interesting looking characters. The mechanics is very innovative but gameplay itself could be improved I think. Currently the game is pretty hard, there are too many people on the street so I have to walk on the road and avoiding cars and trying to recognise people at the same time is very difficult for me. Also I didn't know how to turn over so i was walking backward :p
Overall, the game is very interesting and but I feel like the levels need to be tuned a bit. Also audio would be nice :)
This is a really clever game. Reminds me of the "Where's Waldo"/"Where's Wally" books when I was growing up. Very clever use of the theme too! It was tough trying to approach people without bumping others, but the game still worked really well.
@jackyjjc yeah game turned out to be challenging, but with right strategy, you should reduce amount of deaths, but yeah even then it requires careful maneuvering :P,I will tweak the levels to make gameplay more easy in the second version after LD, with audio it's in the game, maybe you were muted, also I didn't put it in the game but it's in description, you can change direction of camera by pressing space :D, anyway thanks for feedback!
@dgspitzer pss...pss... try to interact with the red samurai's that are staying next to the tower ;)
Nice idea! Clever concept. If it were polished up, I could see this idea catching on. Great job!
Cool concept. Cute little chibi-voxel characters. Kind of hard to get at first, but pretty cool when I'm not getting hit by the cars and getting the heart to finally appear. Keep up the good work!
I was not able to turn the dino. And the passengers kept walking in to me, I tried to slalom, but this was not always possible. But I like the idea.
The idea of being a dino that convinces people to have a cup of coffee already sounds funny. The game really has a nice idea and the integration of "a small world" was pretty funny. But I have to say it is sometimes pretty hard to avoid people without stepping on the street and getting hit by a car. The hints at the beginning were helpfull, but I still didnt really found the target in level 3. The music and visuals worked great together. The dino character was pretty cute.
Cool game! I like the concept. It was hard not to offend people. :)
I really like the graphics and the music related to the game :) One thing i noticed the tutorial was kinda cut off (see image):
Capture.PNG
The concept of the game is really neat :) One thing that confused me initially was which person i had to find (since i clicked too quickly), would have been nice to see the text ingame too with an option to pause the game maybe :) If you keep working on it the limiting area on the edge wasn't really clear for me e.q. maybe a fence or something like that would have explained it better where i can and can't go? :)
Overall a really good entry :)
Very nice 3D models! I liked the game idea, but it didn't work out too well. The controls are too hard, and only be able to walk in one direction makes it feel very restricted. With some improvements this could be a very polished game!
It is a really cool concept, maybe a little bit hard : sometimes you can not avoid people... An overall cool and fun game with nice graphics and music (even if it was not you who had created them). I thought it's shoud be great to see (when you start) a small picture of the person searched (but it is for sure still easy to know who it is). It sould have been nice to see the character looking forward him. Of course I enjoyed playing your game!
Love the graphics and concept! This small world looks really nice and bright, making me a good mood ;) Though I didn't quite get it of how to play. Tried running on the street for a while, hit by the trucks several times. Looks like everyone one the street not fund of me :(
A very cute and challenging game. Even though the graphics are not from the developers, I feel that @szczebel1995 managed to integrate them extremely good in the narrative.
Running around in this street, avoid car and people to find your true "cofee" love is really cool.
I only managed to beat the "magician" level but it was really fun to try and fail :)
Overall: a cool game that seems relaxing at first but is actually quite a challenge.
(You can see me playing this game for the first time on the vod https://youtu.be/lXUmif8KKxM?t=3h45m8s )
The idea is very interesting but I can't beat the first level. I thought it was the angel but he rejects me!
Good idea, the game was kind of fun but hard too! A small problem I encountered: it was hard to hover the right person.
Fun and funny game! It's dangerous to walk on such crowded a sidewalk and be forced into the street. I enjoyed the hints and figuring out who I'm supposed to interact with.
very cool idea,
At some points i couldn't click on the person I wanted to, and sometimes I didn't really know who to go for or what the hint was asking me to do, had trouble with the 3rd level unsure as to who to click.
I think maybe there should have been some more easy/simple ones at the start, before you start asking people to click twice or wait some time
Thats a good one! Congratulations!
I was going to say great job on the graphics but then I saw you opted out of it. But still I enjoyed the game very much. The game was a bit hard I think. After a point I spent goofing around getting hit by truks!!! :)
I found the controls and environments made it hard to navigate without angering people or getting hit by a car. The concept was funny, though, and the music fit the gameplay. Good job!
Cute entry. The controls are a challenge, but I love the overall package and aesthetic!
Surprisingly hard game while looking so cute. I like the idea of the game, and the use of the theme quite a bit.
Hey this was very good and funny. It had a different approach to the theme and i liked that. I think you could reinforce the theme by removing the invisible walls and making the world spherical(or cylindrical), so that you loop back to the start instead of being unable to move forward. Other than that it was really nice. Good job!!!
I got hit by every car in the world!
I finally found my coffee date but it took a ton of tries! The streets were so crowded I felt like I had to walk in the road, but that never worked out well lol.
The idea is really good and I think with a bit more tweaking this game could catch on. Your take on 'small world' theme is one of the best I've seen so far!
I really like this take on the theme. I like the combination with the Where's Waldo mechanic. Invisible walls were a little hard to navigate sometimes, though. Really cute game!
Very cute game, but pretty difficult! I found myself wandering up and down for ages trying to find my "victim" and found myself being forced into the road very frequently. I couldn't complete the magician level, as I didn't know how to interact with him while also keeping my distance. One stylistic point is that it would have been nice if the dinosaur turned around when walking down. I wanted to see his face! Nice blocky and colourful graphical style, great presentation, and an impressive take on the theme.
Thanks for checking out our game, [E.(a)T.](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/e-at). Much appreciated :slight_smile:.
Did you make all the assets in this game? If so, I am extremely impressed. The humor from just having so many different people walk around was great. I loved the concept and thought it was very creative.
It really looks quite fun, but I can't for the life of me make much of progress. In a way I suppose that was part your take on the theme though. I got scared and run over and it would have been nice with a little friendlier first level really. About fifth try I though I spotted someone who could fit the description and at times there was a grey heart about them but also that angry flash symbol. And then they killed me. I like the concept for the mechanics though and the take on the theme. Maybe at start, there should be many that fit a rather general description and then later descriptions should become more vague and also limit number of NPC that are correct? Anyways interesting game.
The idea is super great, and the game have some amazing humour. But sadly the controls makes the game really hard to play. I would like to see a more polished version.
Great looking characters. I love the style and animation. Also a clever idea.
Cool idea and nice design. I especially liked all the different character ideas, so visually there is not much to criticize.
Gameplay-wise I think I would have preferred a sidewalk that doesn't end by repeating the scenery. Hitting an invisible wall took a lot of momentum out of the game.
Cute, fun little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf9jH1KZdXw
