Graphics and song are adorable, very bright and colourful, wish I could sing along to it. Perspective did make it slightly difficult to know where to aim though.

That was awesome!

Well done for creating such a polished and complete feeling game in such a small period of time!

The graphics were great, the music and sound effects were good. I loved the sound of the plane shooting. Sounded satisfying to me.

...the little sing along song is cute as hell.

WITH THE WIND IN MY EARS! AND A SONG IN MY HEART! I hope it doesn't rain...

Nice simple core game mechanic that works well!

Thanks for creating and sharing!

EDIT - Went back to play for a bit just while relaxing and I just realised that right clicking makes the plane do cute shit. lol. Awesome little touch.

What a charming game!

I sincerely LOVE the karaoke feature, even if it doesnt add anything gameplay-wise. The only little annoyance was that it was really hard to follow the lyrics while playing, but it's alright and understandable as a limitation (even big games like GTA can't handle this right with the subtitles).

The core-mechanic is pretty simple and straighforward, only nitpick for me is -as someone says in a comment above me- the position of the plane and the camera.

Very cute, fun 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=VA-2r5Ryiv8

Lovely lil cute-em-up, remnds me muchly of starfox training mode on the SNES, which is a great thing! Is the bunnys name Peppy perchance? ;)

This game is so cute <3

I loved how the main menu was part of the actual game. Good work!

It's one on my favourite entries for this LD. Really GJ!

This is a simple and cute little game. The graphics and music is absolutely the best part of this game. The game idea is okay, but I would have liked a bit more to do. And the Karaoke mode idea if fun, but i cannot read the song text while I try to play the game. Overall is this a well made LD game. Well done.

I actually remember seeing this game (or a post about it) earlier! Really cute and the karaoke-text on the bottom was great (although I only sang along in my head).

Only things I wish were different are - it should be more clear where I need to be to hit things (due to the perspective it felt pretty difficult at times) - Maybe there should be a little more feedback when missing something (I didn't really even notice the miss-bar in the top-left) - The song might as well be a little longer (although I do get that making music on a short schedule is difficult)

Really nice game overall!

EDIT: Although, now that I think about it, I don't really see how it fits the theme...

Graphics are mega cute, really dig it. Music is nice, overal a great entry good job :)

terracottafrog 2017-05-15 20:29

Love the art and music!

Great aesthetic in general!

The one thing that I feel is a problem is the difficulty of telling when you are going to hit something.

Some camera movement to help with aiming at the balloons, and more lenient collision detection for the rings (often I find that I am visually inside of the ring but miss it anyway) would help the gameplay a lot.

Very enjoyable game otherwise, and I would definitely give a post-jam version of the game, with improved camera and collision, a try!

Good work!

flo-m 2017-05-15 20:42

It's a very pleasant game =) I had a bit of trouble hitting things, but otherwise I liked it!

smiley 2017-05-15 20:53

I'm gonna have this song stuck in my head now ;)

took a while to understand that I was gonna shoot on the balloons.. I was just trying to hit them, but after figuring that out I finally could stay alive more than 15 seconds.

A bit difficult to aim and get the ship trough the rings.

Thanks for all the in depth feedback everyone, particualy @ovidios and @terracottafrog You're dead on with everything you're saying, I'd like to spend some more time with the mechanics, but I kinda spent too long making things look nice and making music and stuff. such is a game jam.

I'm a programmer by trade, and recently I've been using game jams to work on my art style, 3d modelling, and music. I feel some basic work on the camera, and game feel could result in this being a much better game really, but ho hum, I still love it.

The idea to fit in with thee theme was to fly about the planet with stereotyped bunnies cheering you on as you fly across the world, but I was a little too ambitious, so I just used clouds instead.

Honestly the actual gameplay was done in about 3 hours lol, I'll try and manage my time a bit better next time, and put a bit more effort in to the game feel.

I had similar to @jk5000 problems with karaoke mode, so I played the game twice. First time to memorize the song, so I could sing along while playing the second time.

anubhav-kashyap 2017-05-16 13:30

Really like the game. The graphics are awesome, and the music is great. It is very interesting, actually.

That was a lot of fun, and the controls were super easy to use. I loved the visuals (doing tricks in the plane is always fun) but for me, the song is the show stealer. It's fun, catchy, and reminds me favorably of the songs Kap'n would sing in Animal Crossing.

nick-bota 2017-05-16 13:51

Great idea, amazing execution! I just love the vibes that the game has and how positive it looks and sounds, the controls are very easy to pick up and the plane controls very fluidly which is great, the graphics look excellent for a game made in just 72 hours and the soundtrack and the subtitles are the cherry on top of this very delicious cake. The only thing that I felt could be changed is the camera angle, I'd like to see the camera be right behind the plane it would make it a bit easier to see into which object you're about to fly into, but that's just my two cent advice. Overall definitely a 5/5 entry, very fun!

This game is the funniest I played in here haha Everything is so cute and adorable. I'm a fun of dark and depressive games and I launch it after playing Outlast, so this made my experience even more brighter. Song is great, after 5 minutes of playing I began to sing it and I think I will sing it for the whole week after that haha I got some problems with aiming and hitting objects, I don't even know how to fix this problem

But all in all this game is awesome. I really love it!

avavt 2017-05-16 14:23

Totally dope! :thumbsup:

mango-malarkey 2017-05-16 15:44

Cool game and I love both the graphics and the sound design! However, I found the perspective to be slightly confusing and had a hard time lining up and aiming. Nice work though!

samusoidal 2017-05-17 23:55

Unfortunately, the subtitles didn't seem to be in sync, so no karaoke for me! I found the game pretty difficult (as others did), but I liked the concept and the graphics were nice. Good job!

highlyinteractive 2017-05-19 18:39

This game is basically a joy to play and hear and look at. Really nice work!
