it's online !

crazyrems 2017-07-31 19:39

It feels joyful, the graphics and sound are very good :) I like it. It's just a pain to restart the game each time you loose. But I never see that because I didn't loose... hum 🙄

trasheur 2017-07-31 19:53

:triumph: We have many problems with the restart button ..... :triumph:

ramou 2017-07-31 19:56

tranks crazyrems :) if you don't loose, it's ok :D

hammers 2017-07-31 20:18

I reached the end but it wouldn't go in the phone!

Anyway great game! I love the art style and the fun sound effects. Great job!

penguindon 2017-07-31 20:19

Why no mac?

quemagalletas 2017-07-31 20:20

You really need to work in loading time, it takes so long even with a good pc, and also a fast restart button.

But the game feels nice, and the sounds are quite strange, is that you guys making sounds? hahahaha

Good job!

skippuku 2017-07-31 20:26

My cable is literally moving at the pace of a snail. It looks fun. I want to play it, but it's unplayable for me.

ramou 2017-07-31 20:38

@CyManSAP : sorry, it's bug we dosent resolve, it's really disappointing for we... :/

@Quemagalletas : all songs and fx make by we (@trasheur). The loading time it's also a bug we dosent resolve :/

@Penguindon : Mac is banished in france :money_mouth:

@Hammers : Thanks ! :D

pixelformedstudios 2017-07-31 20:40

Very nice graphics and cool concept. Was quite laggy and crashed a few times when trying to start. Overall, a pretty good game.

ramou 2017-07-31 20:55

thanks @PixelFormedStudios :)

xeinix 2017-07-31 21:49

Looked interesting and the graphics were great, but I couldent move forward and could go outside the map left and right. Looked interesting though. If you want to play and rate my game you can here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/dodge-the-box

mrserp 2017-07-31 22:55

You drew my in with the game art. Cool concept on the finite runner motif (I assume it's finite, I totally didn't make it to the phone, so don't know if it exists or not). Enjoyable entry though overall!

loadsofmana 2017-08-01 01:46

Worth the load time.

kichex 2017-08-01 02:56

Loved it!! nice job guys!

will-walters 2017-08-01 04:21

A very fun racing game, nice sense of speed to it. I did what the game told me not to and pressed M. I didn't regret it.

alien 2017-08-01 09:47

Really fun game! Great job

jiayjo 2017-08-01 14:00

Thank you all for your comment and to have taken the time to try it =)

jiayjo 2017-08-01 14:00

Thank you all for your comment and to have taken the time to try it =)

solah 2017-08-01 15:17

That's a pretty nice game. As I don't have any skill, I couldn't reach the end of the level x). But yeah, it's fun and the graphics are cool. Well done!

solah 2017-08-01 15:17

Okay, I've sent my comment 4 times by mistake

solah 2017-08-01 15:17

Sorry for that

solah 2017-08-01 15:17

I can't delete them but can edit them... ok...

ijona 2017-08-01 18:05

I appreciated the humor in this game, especially it calling me a 'looser' in the end :D Another good thing is the way you explained controls.

richard-bunn 2017-08-01 18:14

Lunacy! Sheer lunacy. Good effort.

stracker 2017-08-01 18:23

Definitely a good one, the controls are a bit rough around the edges but that is to be expected of a ludum game ! Nice to see such good things coming from fellow frenchies !

essell 2017-08-01 18:27

Hehe very silly / cute idea, executed with charm. If I were to suggest something game design wise, I'd say that it might be better if the course / steering was design in a way that means bumping into walls rather than coming to a complete stop (e.g. like Wipeout). Just to keep the flow going, etc. But it's cool :)

samuli-salonen 2017-08-01 18:30

As for gameplay i think it's fun and the game looks good.

I know you mentioned that the load time is long, but still it's way too long without a loading screen. The game crashed during loading.

I checked the output log and it has:

2430 prints of string "test" and same amount of random prints of memory locations.

this is really really bad for performance.

ramou 2017-08-01 18:42

@samuli-salonen Thanks, we are very very amateur, i search optimization problem in this direction, thanks you !

@essell Yes, good idea, we don't think that... :confounded:

@stracker , @richard-bunn , @solah thanks you !!

@ijona A friend loser !! :grin:

theflyingkeyboard 2017-08-01 19:09

Very interesting and unique idea of mechanics, but it unfortunatelly lacks polishing. The cable started moving very, very slow without hitting anything. Graphics look nice and interesting, but that loading time is a little to long, even for that type of game.

tamas-turi 2017-08-01 19:13

Good job, i like it! :)

ramou 2017-08-01 19:36

@theflyingkeyboard Yes, with de comment of @samuli-salonen, i search and one Debug.Log is on line before compiling. The problem looks like this. I'm really disappointed and angry. For the cable, in my mind (after sleep), in don't use a good function in my script.

@tamas-turi Thanks you

gamepopper 2017-08-01 20:07

This is honestly one of the most entertaining concepts I've found in this games jam so far. The graphics are bright and colourful and I like the makeshift sound effects, they add to the humour. It's a shame the game takes up so much memory and ages to load, hopefully there are ways to optimize it.

narudgi 2017-08-01 20:18

Great game overall o:

don-fouts 2017-08-02 00:03

You weren't kidding about the loading times. This was a really cool idea though!

eggshelldog 2017-08-02 08:14

The sounds are hilarious!

Knock Knock! Hey Sir, your cable is over-speed driving! Please show me your cable driving certificate!

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!:weary::weary::weary::rofl:

skippuku 2017-08-02 17:15

I'm glad the bug was fixed so I could play! Lot's of fun. I seem to be really good at running into everything. Could definitely use a restart button.

(Also, it reminded me of the pikmin 2 toy box levels) toybox.jpg

ramou 2017-08-02 18:10

thanks all and thanks @CyManSAP for your back ! :D

johanesskrauser 2017-08-02 23:25

Great game, guys! Really like your idea. Sounds and Art also very good!

ethan-allwood 2017-08-03 01:45

Like the idea! Really hard but fun too. A restart button would have been nice. I got to the end but the chickens slowed me then I couldn't speed up and ran out of power when I was practically touching the phone..........

ajayajayaj 2017-08-03 01:49

Great game, the audio was pretty good. Sadly, after many tries, I never won, I guess the cable just needed to be looser.

Nice job!

machinetribe 2017-08-03 20:59

Pretty cool. I like that it sounds like the effects were done by a human just using their mouth. Nice job!

jmarkohun 2017-08-03 21:33

Great work! Keep up the good work, we need more developers like you!

spetsdod 2017-08-04 00:08

Nice job. Took a few tries to figure it out, but made it eventually. Would be nice to see some randomization of the map so it isn't the same thing over and over. Music was appropriate and added flavor to the game. Graphics are decent and it played very smoothly. The loading time though... MAN... Game should have a restart button too so you don't have to quit and launch it again to play. All in all, pretty fun. Thanks for the game.

sugiuro 2017-08-04 19:26

Fun game, but still buggy : even when I reached the end of the level, the cable didn't plug into the phone, and the battery continued to discharge :(

ramou 2017-08-04 19:38

i'm surprised, after many test, we don't have this bug oO Are you collide with the phone ?

eggnog 2017-08-05 04:48

Cool graphics! Would have been nice to have a restart button, as I definitely wanted to play again at the end! Also, calling the player a loser after they took the time to play your game is a little mean, don't you think? :P Either way, lots of effort clearly went into this, and with some polish and playtesting, you could probably market this on iOS! Great job!

randomphantom 2017-08-05 10:52

Gorgeous 3d modelling work and hilarious sound effects! Echo the above on having a restart button. Very cute although the loading time is kind of a bummer - it crashed for me the first time i loaded it up, even with the bug fixed version. Not sure what red spheres do with your girlfriend giving you an appel? but actively avoided them and collected blue spheres and managed to make it to the phone in time. Fun stuff and I love the physics based gameplay.

rikoclon 2017-08-05 11:29

it looks nice! the concept is cool. it really doesn't play all that well. first thing I did was go thru the walls and fall off into nothingness, where i reached great top speed. you didn't see that coming? loaded it again and found the interactive rigid bodies cool. They didn't exactly add to the game-play, just made it feel less glued down. I couldn't beat the level and didn't find much desire too. perhaps you could have made smaller levels and make them increase in difficulty? how about a power up for speed? I agree with an earlier comment about the obstacles stopping you, what if you bounced off and slowed down but kept moving?

pavelsovushkin 2017-08-05 12:30

Nice idea!

trasheur 2017-08-05 13:52

Tanks all !! I receve lot of good energy !!! @Spetsdod I have many idea To randomize the game.

yetman 2017-08-06 00:06

Charging my phone will never be the same again. The art (the toy box mood and the nice textures) and audio is great and the game play is fun. I noticed that the game takes a lot of time to load the scene to memory (and a lot of memory too ~1.1 GB according to the task manager). Lowering the settings to high makes the loading a lot faster. I also would like to note that if you are not using an Anti-Aliasing Post processing effect, it would be nice to use one since the edges in menu looked a bit jaggy. Anyway, the game is really brilliant and one of the most enjoyable games I have played.

tmpxyz 2017-08-06 05:17

The graphics is so great! The racing game is a good mechanism.

It's a pity that there's only one level.

ramou 2017-08-06 07:23

Thanks all, i start work to write a correctly scripts for the future game jam. I'm really really amateur :D

theonethatneverwas 2017-08-07 17:26

Very fun and creative game. It was really nice to play and the graphics are amazing. Good job!

hhsaez 2017-08-10 13:21

I like the game and what you did with the theme. The art and sound are great! Nice work!
