Short, sweet and very cute! Great character design (you should totally make a plush toy of these!) and funny voices. I'd love to see you continuing this project.

hahah like the graphics and sound effects

Cool game, but cooler interpretation of the theme! GL!

matthew-di-mare-miller 2017-12-05 03:01

That was a lot of fun and a nice idea! I really enjoyed the character models and their sound effects, very cute a pleasant game to play!

This game is super challanging at the end. Nice done!

flip120 2017-12-08 18:31

Cool game, I love the graphics and it's super challenging as I like. Good job!

re-markable 2017-12-08 18:35

I absolutely love this game! It's just so cool and it fits perfectly with the theme, great job!!

mambojambo 2017-12-08 18:58

Compelling art and visuals! The shader for the characters is really nice. Like others have said, the game is interpreting the theme really well. The simplicity of the game mechanic is great. However, I feel like there is something lacking game play wise. Anyways, great effort! :)

Well done! Graphics look fantastic, the main mechanic fits the theme perfectly and it's fun as hell to have to suicide because one guy got stuck and there's no other way :) On the other hand, it'd be nice to have some kind of camera collision and victory conditions are a bit confusing since you can finish levels without collecting them all.

Love the graphics and it made me laugh. Good job!

terrapass 2017-12-08 20:51

This looks very cute, I'd really love to try it. Since this is a Unity game, could you upload a Linux build as well, please? :penguin:

crdmrn 2017-12-08 22:59

@terrapass I just built and uploaded the linux version on itch, I hope you'll enjoy that :grin:

ratbird 2017-12-08 23:10

Amazing. Its looks so cute!

nickzangus 2017-12-08 23:17

Strange but intriguing... The kind of games that I love to see in a Ludum Dare... Great job!

sbarrio 2017-12-09 12:52

I like the idea and the graphics as well as de overall design of everything. The controls feel a bit off to me, though.

Nice work!

terrapass 2017-12-09 21:02

@crdmrn Thanks for posting a Linux build. A very nice game with a novel mechanic and charming presentation.

Not sure if this is intentional, but I found that I was able to finish one of the levels without gathering all of the friends, if I got the 2 friends I did collect to hold hands, making a circle: https://imgur.com/a/wFjmv

Overall I think you did a very good job.

Cute and impressive! Love the cell-shaded characters and silly voice acting. Basic mechanics, but I'd love to see where this game could go... nicely done!

jk5000 2017-12-12 19:17

What a fun and super friendly game. The world needs more games like this. Well done.

marcosm10 2017-12-12 20:11

cute and funny, congrats!

vasco-rodrigues 2017-12-13 00:37

This is a great idea. The overall aspect of the game is amazing, it looks really professional. Just had some trouble walking when I had 2 or more friends with me, but nothing unplayable. Great work, congratulations!

Nice game with beautiful graphics and atmospheric music. It seemed to me that movement with many friends is too hard, almost impossible. And the animation of the main character's movement is not too good from the back. Also there was no possibility to exit the game from the level. Overall though, it's a good and kind game. Well done!

sanvar 2017-12-15 16:37

Great entry my dude! I love the sound effects the friend characters make, legit made me laugh. Got a very cozy vibe from it aswell. Movement with many friends was quite hard, so you really nailed the theme aswell! Very fun :D

toboggan 2017-12-17 15:36

Reaaaally nice art! Not just the cell-shaded thing but the character design is so goofy and good. I love it. The music and sound is great too.

The game works well, though its a bit unpleasant once you have 2 or more friends tethered... Would be nice if movement stayed fluid and you just had to worry about not falling off the platforms (or getting pulled off by a friend who fell off the platform).

toboggan 2017-12-17 15:39

p.s. any reason you opted out of the "Graphics" category? I would've given you 5 stars. :)

crdmrn 2017-12-17 21:12

@toboggan that's because the cute guy you see walking around is a model I made years ago and never used, and because most of the assets come from public domain sources :)

blubberquark 2017-12-19 09:59

I wish there was more to the difficulty than not falling off bridges in later levels.

jandourek 2017-12-19 15:58

Nice game! I really like the audio and gameplay. Sometimes the controls and camera are a little clunky. Other than that this game is pretty fun!

chaseplays 2017-12-24 17:19

This is a pretty fun game! I loved the art style and music, and the game fit the theme incredibly well. The game was a perfect length for a Ludum Dare game, and was a pretty clever idea. The objective was clear, as well as the controls, which is fantastic. My only complaint was that a lot of the challenge in the game felt more frustrating than difficult. As you accumulate more "friends", you start to walk slower with more resistance. Usually, this exists less to challenge the player than to frustrate them. Despite this, I had a lot of fun with your game! Great job!

youbestrong 2017-12-27 23:43

Very nice idea! I found the music to be very fitting. At first I thought the only thing to avoid was to not fall but then I got stuck in a triangular hand holding and couldn't get the last guy. Great work!

Inconsequential detail: the quit button didn't seem to work for me.
