Great job on the music and sound effects- did you make them yourselves?
As for the game I was like, eh another platformer, and then I got the weed and just laughed out loud. The visuals and audio all came together there. Really good job with that moment.
This is amazing! My original idea was to use drugs for the theme - you actually did it and executed it well. I'd definetely play a game about this boii and I like to know more about the boy who walked across town to find his weed that he lost.
Nice Game I like the soundtrack :) - But I wonder why I get GameOver when I reach the end of the level ? - Also the game over sounds is a little bit to annoying if you here it to often and - I miss some dynamic elements like moving plattforms which would add more fun to the game
I like the idea of playing the level twice but with changes. That's pretty cool!
Not sure how it fits the theme though? Also I fell off the end of the map the first time I picked up the weed at the end which was a bit annoying.
Thanks for the feedbacks guys :) I deployed a fix, you can't go out of the world anymore :)
@oliverlevay: we wanted to make a story about this boy but the lack of time killed it :( @matthias-schedel: It's fixed :)
We found the sounds freely on internet, i'll credit them when i get back from work
I loved the music on the way back, the game over announcement and all the silly stuff in the sky
Nice little platform :) Too bad you couldn't fit the story of the guy! :( Story is what makes a game memorable!
Good overall feeling, nice work!
Fun little game! It's not clear to me how this fits the theme though. The graphics were nice, though they don't really seem like they belong together.
@tim-eriksen We didn't have the time to make it fit the theme so we had to publish it without the mechanics, and some graphics where found on the web by lack of time too, so that's why they don't blend so well with the ones we made :( Thanks for your comment :)
Fun nice artstyle. Love the colours and especially the sounds! Would like a little more content though and I dont know how this fits the theme. Maybe "the more you have, the worse it gets" is directed towards the weed, because the level changes after that and gets more difficult, but I would love to see a little more :)
The voice-over made me laught more than once :)
Haha what a fun game. The controls are solid and the game is very fun :). I lol'd when the mood changed after getting some green :D. Nice work!
Fun game, its just a bit frustrating to start over from the begining when you fall after taking the... uh... u know :p
I love the contrast between the "romantic" and the "funky" part. Nyan cat spotted ;)
I liked how you have to play the level twice. Needs more levels.
The lose sound made me jump out of my seat! Love the reversal too.
Performance drops drastically after picking up something on my pretty decent machine: a shame I really wanted to play more !!!!!! The mix of detailed characters and pixel city works surprisingly well, I would put a small black outline on the foreground elements to improve readability.
Fun idea, the transition is pretty entertaining haha! It did seem like the first part was significantly easier than the second part. Maybe if there were some more difficult challenges/platforming in the first part half it would feel better.
Thanks for the feedbacks ! @trabitboy: I'm sorry to hear about the performance drop :( I will try to fix it, the black outline is a good idea ! @schmavery: Thank you :) We definitely wanted to add more difficulty for the first part but we were running out of time :(
Nice idea, I love the visuals after you collect the weed.
Good job on the music and graphics. The movements were pretty smooth.
I dont know why but the game started crashing over and over again 10-15 seconds after i took the weed. The effects when you take the Weed more remind me of Lsd than Weed and was'nt i supposed to bring it home and not just consume it when i find it :D? Well who said he smoked it all right :D Liked the music change. Also a change int the feel of the mechanics from the point on you we're high would be nice. Make the controls feel druggy or something. Anywys nice looking Graphics. Good job! We also made a druggy platformer game. If you want to check it out feel free to do so on my game page :-)
I liked the game but it would have been good to have progressions of 'more' paranoid where you have 'more' weed
Great concept! :P We had a somewhat similar idea, but couldn't find a way to implement it into a fun game, and I think you've done it quite well. However, I ran into the same performance issues mentioned by others. It became barely playable after I took the weed, but I think I got the gist of the game anyway.
Visuals work quite well, especially considering the theme of the game. At first I didn't notice the music because it was so quiet, but it fits the mood quite well. Overall, nice work and great interpretation of the theme!
Great graphics and nice music. It's an uncluttered, yet fun little game.
Imo, the first jump after the weed was a bit too hard in comparison to the others, though. I died three times before making it and it was a bit dull just replaying everything before, which was fairly simple.d
I would have liked a bit more of the theme, I guess there were time restrictions for adding more levels to emphasise it.
@phi, @fluffi, @trabitboy: Can you give me more informations about your config ? like your browser and the general specs of your computer ?
@eraleis I tried it again on a better machine, it worked flawlessly. Before I was using Chrome on a crappy laptop... (i5 @ 2.8GHz x 4, 64bit Ubuntu)
I completed and updated my ratings. I love the short and simple level design, but some kind of progression would be nice indeed. Enjoyed it anyway!
It was interesting! The platforming was good, and the enemy obstacles on the way back were clever. Good job!
good music and very fun game, congrats!
Seems a bit too simple at first but really takes a good turn with the twist!
The blinking graphics are nicely psychadelic, but everything would look a lot better and more cohesive - the blocky background buildings clash a lot with the detailed people and trashcans.
