Wow that's a sweet idea and it looks great too

rakowu 2017-07-31 11:18

it's a funny idea :) Poor little guy :D

matoux42 2017-07-31 11:22

I love the use of the theme ! :grinning:

I had a little problem : in level two, if the downward plateform fall on you, the plug cross the ground and fall in the void.

avitt 2017-07-31 11:24

Cute platformer game, nice idea well executed and looks decent too. Well done with what you did in the short time, the level design is good and the two levels show its potential well. Would like to see it with a longer level and some more environments to explore. Would be cool to go though multiple areas within the same level which have different relevant hazards to mix it up a bit. Good luck.

Hahah it was very funny. I love that our own sweat can kill us :D

tuism 2017-07-31 11:36

130MB later the osx file simply tells me that it cannot be opened. Tried it several times. You wanna separate the two downloads please. No point for anyone to download both.

pitpony 2017-07-31 11:51

Great graphics and a really cool idea. I had a lot of fun with this one - was very thankful for the checkpoints though :)

asado999 2017-07-31 12:43

Now that I've actually played it - really fun game, keep it up!

sivael 2017-07-31 13:42

Hah, funny :D

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 14:45

@tuism , just seperated the downloads, hope the mac version works now! Thanks for the feedback.

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 14:46

@pitpony , thanks! Haha, yeah, it's quite hard and sometimes all you need is a bit of luck :)

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 14:47

@Matoux42 , Thanks! And also thanks for the feedback. I implemented those elevators way too late so I couldn't really test them anymore. Noted as known issue...

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 14:52

@AViTT Thanks for the great suggestions! Glad you liked it :smiley:

avitt 2017-07-31 15:04

@virtual-turtle-studio you're very welcome would like to see where it goes if you develop it more :)

peremily 2017-07-31 16:43

Really nice game, felt well polished and I enjoyed it, but the water pit after the first checkpoint is basically unavoidable first time around as you don't know to jump

gmfk07 2017-07-31 16:47

Real fun game: just wanted to say that it's pretty easy to walk into a wall and fall off the level.

willdata 2017-07-31 16:51

Definitely funny and cute! Some minor suggestions would be to decrease the amount of damage per tear hit and to mute the movement audio after you've already plugged in. Nice game!

lyon 2017-07-31 16:52

Hahaha this was a real sweet idea, I had a lot of fun playing this. Little things like the bounce and sound effect when you jump really adds to the charm too. Good sound effects but I feel like a good background track could have really added to the mood of the game. VERY polished for how little time you had to work on it, good job.

whatfruit 2017-07-31 16:54

The tears causing the plug to short-circuit was a great idea! It both made the platforming more interesting, and made unique and humorous use of the theme. I also like going straight back to the checkpoint on death rather than going through a death screen. The drop off on the second level near the end can be hard to manage, but if you were like me then you were trying to squeeze in a second level near the end of the compo! Great submission.

krishnasism 2017-07-31 17:03

Super cute! The idea is beautiful. The gameplay is stunning. The graphics are mesmerizing. And the sounds are pleasing. Don't have any more words. Beautifully crafted and easy to play, but challenging as well. Made me look forward to how it ends. Best game I've played till now this LDJAM. :D

jin47 2017-07-31 17:10

Really nice idea and I love the design of your level. The tears are really hard to avoid but it is part of the fun :smile:. Really nice job!

sn0uk 2017-07-31 17:55

What a great game! I love the graphics and consistent art style too.

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 18:18

@peremily Thank you! And yeah, the idea was that it is suppose to teach you how the checkpoint mechanic works :^)

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 18:20

@gmfk07 Thanks! Yeah, you're totally right. Total oversight on my end. Spend so much time writing the mechanics that I forgot to do basic restrictions until it was too late. It's my first ever game jam though, so I definitely need to learn to plan better haha.

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 18:21

@WillData , Thank you for the feedback, it's highly appreciated!

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 18:22

@Lyon , Thanks for the kind words :) That's totally what I was thinking too! But all I had was a microphone and some software that I never used before. Next time I'll be hiring a music guy. Because you know... having guys for stuff is cool! ;)

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 18:25

@WhatFruit , Thanks a lot for your opinion man! Haha yeah, you totally read my mind. I'm not a level designer though, but will definitely be investing more time into that because now I know how important it is! It's little things like these that we learn doing jams!

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 18:27

@krishnasism , :heart: :heart: :heart:

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 18:27

@jin47 , haha yeah, oh well... It's all part of having too little time to playtest, am I right? :P Thanks for playing!

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-07-31 18:28

@sn0uk , Thanks a lot :)

spliter 2017-07-31 22:40

I live the idea of being damaged by your own sweat, though I'd change it so that when you stand you don't sweat, giving some more risk-reward choices to the player

virtual-turtle-studio 2017-08-01 10:05

@spliter , yeah that was the original concept, actually. But then the sweat was changed to tears so it would be weird ;) thanks for the suggestion though!

Nice little game for people who have nothing else to do. If you want to experience real love instead then you can try online dating. Just pick something from this list https://speeddaters.net/matchmaking-services.html and I'm sure that you will get lucky eventually. Good luck.

2021-06-18 10:46

Haha, such a funnny game. I'd like to try to play it. It remind me another game from casino, where I won a lot of money. What was a wonderful time. I noticed that I didn't played for a long time, I need to rectify this. Do you want to join me one of these platforms https://www.theladycrypto.com/best-bitcoin-casinos/ ? It would be much more interesting

2021-10-21 11:31

LOL this electric plug is just like me. I'm still looking for the love of my life. People say that there's so many fish in the sea, but I think am fishing in a small pond. I find it difficult to find a girlfriend here in my area since my town is very small and mostly everyone is related. I want to try this [freefuckapp.com](https://freefuckapp.com/) adult dating site and maybe I matched up with a beautiful girl.

2022-01-17 07:23

This is a fun game. The sounds are good, but the design and gameplay are average. I would rate it 3 stars and I am being generous with that. I also play [gacha life pc free](https://gachalife.io/), it is one of the best game you can play right now. If you don't know how to play the game, there are a lot of tutorial videos on YouTube and articles about the game. Also, if you're into Fate Grand Order, go here to know more about [more about fgo command cards](https://fategrandorder.io/fate-grand-order-uncover-the-fgo-command-cards-combat-mechanics/).
