Thanks for your game! I like the overall look in your game, but was somewhat disappointed in the lack of player interactability. However, everything felt much better once I felt the colors running through my body. Can't wait to see your next game!

I'm not really going to critique this as a game, but I had fun for a few minutes just reading the random stuff the character was saying. I do like the artstyle and your type of humor a lot. Not really disappointed, because you made that a part of the 'game' so to speak. Nice work!

Gorgeous graphics. I appreciated the fact that you didn't try to hide the lack of content, but rather made it work with the funny dialogues. Bon travail et bonne continuation :) !

kwisarts 2017-05-07 11:37

@zantamar Thanks! I figured the disco mode was the only thing I could make to "save" the game :D

@Zelos Thank you! Since I couldn't offer much content, I just went with what I am used to do... dumb talk :D

@citsua Merci! I wouldn't say "gorgeous" as it lacked so much to it. I even have a tree sprite that I did not use because I was unable to work well with the depth. And since I didn't offer much content... well... disco mode :D

It's cute. After spending some time in the game, I'm not convinced you speak French … :D

2017-05-10 16:05

So cute! 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=ZTDci7P3_cI

We **need** to work on a game together.

kwisarts 2017-05-12 12:15

@aurel300 Unfortunately, I didn't play test the game enough (had to rush the end so I couldn't recheck some sentences) and didn't notice that the font I used had no accents... so it makes some french sentences look super weird (one was supposed to say "Parle-moi en baguette et je te répondrais en câlins." but... accented words disappeared...) and I just noticed now that I left an ugly typo to "Petite dédicace" I keep forgetting to edit it though so it looks like my french is horrible but I'm actually native! Leçon du jour: relire en se concentrant mieux et s'assurer que la police d'écriture contienne toutes les lettres nécessaire...

@jupiter-hadley Thanks, lovely :)

@juju-adams _I know right_

UNTS UNTS UNTS UNTS! :D Your "game", sir, made my day :) I'm glad you didn't give up and did create this masterpiece. You must not stop. Best. Mode. Ever.

feltip 2017-05-15 19:28

haha super weird but i dig it. Keep working on it, add more stuff to do. But great job! :)

binaryferret 2017-05-15 21:41

Ha! Although as you stated you didn't get to finish anything what you did do is create some really nice shtuff!

The animation, and visuals in general were beautiful. Your use of sound for walking and the text scrolling was very satisfying.

I really liked the text, especially made me chuckle after trying to quit after disco mode! :D

I'd love to see this style of art in a game, as I think with time it could become something even more beautiful.

Well done!

kwisarts 2017-05-15 23:47

@pcmaster Thank you for calling it a masterpiece! And I agree that _every game should have a disco mode_

@feltip Thanks! Kept the scope very low and threw in the disco mode cause the scope was _way too low_. It's my style of programming so if you see me doing more games, you'll see that kind of stuff from me!

@binaryferret Well the game is finished, it's just that I didn't get that much hours to make it (initially) so I kept my scope way lower than I could. Thanks, those sounds were fun to make! Though I think they sound weird...

And thank you for the compliment of art! I probably will make more games like these and even make them better! Though not sure it would be realistic to have a disco mode in every game but hey...

If you dig my stuff, I also made another game (in a game jam) with that type of graphics (although darker), except it's a kinda deeper story: https://gm48.net/game/581/the-ascension (although i'm working on a way better version, this one has several gameplay issues)

aaranos 2017-05-16 01:29

Not sure how intentional the game idea was but it was entertaining. Reminded me of Stanley Parable with the narrator trying to lead you down one path or another.

Nice music and the art was pretty nice too.

apostate-games 2017-05-16 03:42

Nice music and art! Had fun playing it! Good submission! :smile:

Wow, i really liked this! It isn't like any game a have played before, but it looks and sounds great and the narrative part is entertaining and innovative. Good work! Check out my game if you have time, i need a few more votes until tomorrow :D

sgadrat 2017-05-16 09:20

La baguette est en nous!... Maintenant tu peux me répondre en clins :)

veralos 2017-05-16 09:53

The graphics look great, with some nice detail. The sound/music is pretty good, too. Some of the text was amusing and the disco mode is cool. As you said though, there isn't much to it.

gurkenlabs 2017-05-16 13:58

Artistically, this is a really solid entry. It does lack some gameplay but the monologues and the disco mode can still entertain you for a few minutes :)

feips 2017-05-16 18:54

MY BODY IS READY, I FEEL THE COLORS RUSHING THROUGH MY BODY!

kwisarts 2017-05-16 18:56

@aaranos Thanks =)

@apostate-games Thank you!

@thatsnillet Sure will! And thank you :)

@sgadrat ma typographie n'a pas d'accent... le mot était censé être câlins mais du coup ça fait clin... >.>

@velaros Yep, sorry for the lack of content!

@gurkenlabs It was my intent :D Can't make a good game? Keep the viewer busy to make it look like a real game!

kwisarts 2017-05-16 19:33

@feips Woops, didn't notice your comment!

**_NOW DANCE LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW!_**

thrillho 2017-05-16 22:35

Well, I wouldn't really call this a game, but what you did do looks really nice. Also, the music doesn't suck as much as you claim it does. I think you've got potential!

kwisarts 2017-05-16 23:45

@thrillo I agree that this isn't really a game! As for the music, it actually used to suck cause it didn't look like disco at all but I fixed it and didn't change the text afterwards. Still the music could be a lot improved

2017-05-17 08:52

Haha, this was fun! Adorable graphics and very nice music!

Also is the E Button supposed to let me float in mid air?

Because the E Button lets me float in mid air.

which is great

kwisarts 2017-05-19 09:17

@fetterkeks Yep, it is supposed to! It initially is a button just in case the character gets stuck (it used to with the way I first handled the disco mode but I got it fixed) I left it cause it's kind of amusing to float in the air. (some kind of jump button I guess...)
