Amazingly cute! Love the sounds and the simple gameplay. I played the game with a big smile the whole time!

renatopp 2017-05-01 12:03

Oh, and nice effects on the amoebas

Why is this so much funny? I love it!

I absolutely loved this game. I played until there were too much amoebas for my screen. I love the little sound effects and faces they do! I have no criticism to do at all, sorry.

Well, I didn't exactly get what to do in the game. There should be better instructions on how to attract the unhappy amoeba. Also, you should be able to move with arrow keys. Other than that, the sound is good and the graphics are excellent. I like the nice background music, the bright amoeba graphics, and the sound effects including the voice acting.

Hi, D-Studios! Thanks for the feedback - we used the last day of the jam to iterate on a first time experience that helped folks understand what to do without requiring explicit instructions, and it seems to be more hit than miss now, but it's still super valuable to hear from people who don't get it.

Missing arrow key support is sadly a minor bug (the UI actually responds to the arrow keys, but not the character!).

Its a really good game! the sound is so immersive, and the graphics are so cute! The sound for me its a little bit high. And the objetive its not clear. But its a beatutiful and fun game I have a really good time playing at this game. Thank you so much

One of the most fun game I have played so far! Cute graphics and sounds. The concept is awesome :) Good job my friend!

Hahahaha! Bip Bip Trulurlur Pa! Nice sounds, cute graphics, i enjoyed it. It would be great to have more objectives in game as it get a bit repetitive once your konga is kind of long.

Really fun! I love the visual style, the sounds and the gameplay. The tutorial works very well too! I would like to know how you implemented the amoeba visuals and their pathfinding. Congrats!

nk-x-x 2017-05-07 11:43

Thanks folks! We might look into posting some more technical details later on. It's mostly pretty simple tricks, but spreading the knowledge is always cool!

Nice little conga simulator =) Feels polished, now I'd like an objective please!

This game is really adorable!

The recorded voices add a lot to the already very cute style. :)

Funniest LD entry in memory.

diptoman 2017-05-07 14:13

This game was surprisingly fun. And cute. Loved the amoeba faces and voices! The atmosphere and ambient bgm was excellent, gave a really nice and relaxing feel to the game. Gameplay got hard quick, but no matter. The game just has a way of making you happy on the inside. Great job!

dgspitzer 2017-05-07 15:23

All 5 stars! Sooooooooo cute. Probably the best UX design I played so far in LD 38!!~

kev-adsett 2017-05-08 13:31

Wow thanks so much @dgspitzer! Means a lot to us :grin:

meronsoda 2017-05-10 12:14

Sound effects 11/10 would beatbox it again.

The line gets messy closer to the tail, because amoebas keep hitting each other trying to organize themselves, lol

The entry is so good I don't have any suggestion. :grin:

Amazing game, from fun to mood, just wish I could use arrow keys instead of wasd in this situation
