noooo not the comics sans ms, but your game is funny
Yeah humor was what I was going for. Yeah, I know a hated font.
First Ludum Dare, it was a lot of fun and I was happy to get a game out.
Thaaaaaat's a song that is never going to be out of my head, haha. I made it to the mayor, but I think I got the bad ending. Congrats on your first Ludum Dare :)
@adonisdvs did you go back to Game Over screen? If you saw the Game Over screen, then you got the bad ending, if you defeat the Mayor there is another screen.
I have uploaded an HTML5 version of the game if you want to get a feel of the game, but this version of the game is buggy. This is uploaded so you could get a feel of the game without downloading, but it does not function as it should.
epic video game you have there sir
Thanks @piece-ofcheese I actually really loved the gritty world that was created, kind of like a noir toy story. I would love to make more of a dialogue story game based on it. I was thinking maybe the Mayor hires assassins. Just so everyone understands, the HTML5 version does not show the screen correctly and will crash if you score high enough, but I wanted a version that people could play just on the page and you will get theme and mood. Please download the game for the full experience. The HTML5 version should now work if you play it in full screen. Html 5 version should now work.
Oh after playing the game if people can respond Mayor if they made it to the Mayor, that will be an easy way for you to give feedback if you have nothing else to say and gives me an understanding if the level was too easy or hard.
Well fixed Aspect Ratio for HTML5 version but it still crashes, so the full game cannot be played but wanted something that can be played without downloading, weird that the Windows version doesn't have this problem.
Can't really get on higher platforms but it aint bad man
@alexander-tan yeah it is a little tricky, need to sort of be moving when you jump. Took it more as a learning experience, also with most toys on the lower level it is not the worst.
HTML5 does not show up unless you hit the fullscreen - then I was able to play it. You got me with that voice acting xD
@jackou yeah I was having trouble getting the resolution to work for having it not in full screen and even in full screen it seemed some was cut off, did you make it to The Mayor because that was some of my favorite. Yeah when I did not feel like coding things it was great just making audio files in audacity and messing with the effects.
The voice acting XD The music(?) was funny at first, got a little irritating going in. Gonna be honest, platforming was difficult, especially since it was very easy to get stuck o the side of platforms. But I can see where you were going with this, keep it up :)
Lol, the music is amusing if a bit grating. Because the toys spawn randomly, it didn't seem like there was any need for me to go to the platforms at all, making it super easy to get a bunch of toys. I happened to see your game on stream so I knew to jump on the mayor's head, but otherwise that's not very clear. I'm not sure what it has to do with running out of space?
@handle it was more inspired by the theme then being fully about it, the idea is when you run out of space in your house you discard and get rid of your toys, also the hand can only carry 10 toys. On the rules page it tells the story. Yeah the platform is more to get the toys early. I could of had it so the toys spawned randomly on platforms. Did you have sound on, the game says jump on the Mayor's head to defeat him, maybe I didn't enunciate my words. Yeah seems like there are mixed feelings on the music, I was wondering if it would get annoying and some people seemed to find it annoying and some people seemed to enjoy it. Thanks for the review.
@dk5000p Ah, I see. Yeah, I had muted it by the time I got to the mayor. My bad, I should have double checked. I'll run through again.
Oof that music is rough. The goals aren't super clear. Sticking to the platforms doesn't feel good. There's no feedback for when you get hurt. It's unclear how you do damage to the mayor. Good on you for getting something done, but man not an enjoyable experience.
@joemag did you notice your speed go back up to 10 when you got hit? The speed was kind of a universal indicator, indicating how many toys you had, so when you got shot you dropped the toys. Joe did you also turn off the sound? The rules state to collect the toys and place them in the donation box but I can understand if that was not super clear in gameplay or if you did not read the rules. Thanks for the feedback.
Interesting game indeed. The music was definitely surprising; in the end, I think I enjoyed it.
As mentioned above, the spawning became a bit concentrated over time, so it became less about navigating and more about dodging. The mayor level was also interesting. I didn't really hear the voiced directions at the beginning, but in the end I was still able to beat it.
It's satisfying to be able to beat the game, so thanks for sharing it. The game world was interesting too, so it was good to be able to play around in it.
A unique experience. While I had no idea what to do, the game is definitely memorable, especially the sound design. Some bugs, but maybe a tutorial would be a good idea for this one!
gameplay at 1:40 - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297336881
@tetra yeah planning on loading a post game jam version. Tutorial and better platform controls are first steps. Might add health because dodging the balls seemed like it was not obvious that it stopped the toys you picked up. Health would be more obvious. Also plan to fix the spawning and allow you to kill enemies. Maybe actual music, the thoughts on that seem split. Thanks for playing my game it is awesome what people made in two days
@thepelranthean congrats on beating the game. Yeah really want to explore the world. Was thinking of a Robin hood stealth level, stealing from the Mayor. Yeah thinking of expanding spawning to platforms. I think I was trying to make it so people would make it to the Mayor. Yeah I felt good when I beat other people's games. Thankd
Good work for your first jam!
You attempted to make something comical, that is obvious and you have hit that on the head. You didn't try to make the game something its not. That gets more marks for me. All audio being self-recorded was great and started singing along to the "dud um dud um" music. Well done!
Oh wow, that's a lot to unpack! First off thanks for that music, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have it stuck in my head now. I'm also unclear about how to damage the mayor, I tried a few times but found myself overwhelmed and hit too many times and lost. By the comments it looks as though you can do it, but I'm not sure how. Overall pretty funny experience, but needs more polish
Yeah uploading an edited version to fix platform jump problems as bug fix and will be uploading periodic new versions. To defeat the Mayor you had to jump on his head 10 times. I think the Aspect Ratio might have cut off stuff that was important. Trying to get a version that people can see things.
@grahh are you referring to the source code?
The greatest music that has ever graced my delicate ear drums. Thank you.
Had a great laugh, awesome entry. My suggestion would be to speed things up a little bit, make gravity a little higher and make the tennis balls fly a little faster.
I'm glad I found this. Made my day.
@Wheffle if you enjoyed it, I am working on iterating it and hoping to load new copies when I have time throughout the week, maybe add levels. All suggestions appreciated. Do you mean you want to be able to jump higher Wheffle? I actually thought the tennis balls were difficult to avoid, they do feel a little slow. Working on changing how the toys spawn, made the game a lot harder. Might add health and then will just be traditional levels instead of immediately jumping to the mayor. Thanks for the feedback.
@dk5000p Hey, awesome to hear you're going to keep working on it! What I meant was to increase the speed of the jump as well as the force of gravity, so that the jumps are the same height and the game is pretty much the same but it runs faster and feels less floaty. That, along with making the tennis balls fly faster but probably shoot less often, might make the game feel a little sharper. But maybe not, it's just something that popped into my head while playing :)
Thank you for sharing your game with me. I played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames
I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream.
You can hear my comments in the archive at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297482480
A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)
@saoi-game, I think it was the aspect ratio on Firefox, there is a score. Maybe go with the downloaded version instead and choose 1600X900, ratio. There is a second level it you get 20 points. The different texts was more due to me making multiple buttons in different time frames and not remembering which text I used/initially choosing a text I liked and then due to time just using the default text. I can't remember if some of it also was done in unity which does not have text but I guess I could probably get a free text asset. Thanks for playing the game.
@saoi-games Definitely should of had a tutorial. The speed indicated the number of items you had and when you collided with the box you got score for the number of items you had so if your speed was 2, 8 would be added to your score, and when hit with the tennis balls your speed would go back up, so then when you collided with the donations box you would get no points.
VEry nice game idea, needs some refining especially the background and scaling to differend resultions. But it is your first entry congratulations for this and keep on working!
What more is there to say other than: Budum budm buduum buduum!
Idk why others here budum budum but I heard butter butter butter butter BUTTERRRRRR.. I love the music man, really Im not kissing your ass but was I thought I was doing the compo, I spent so much time trying to make a music piece and none of them worked, thats why I appreciate you having the gut to do it and it was actulaly very funny LMAO. A bit confusing with the game since the goal was to collect toys but I don't know exactly what are toys. Putting a picture of what you refer to as toys would be great! Overall, a very fun entry, mostly due to the music hahahahaha.
@nam-nguyen I also wasted so much time trying to use Bosca Ceoli to make music and just was not getting anything I liked. I gave up and was like I already am doing all the sound effects, let me throw in background noise. Seems the overall verdict is good. Maybe cause I play so many boardgames the yellow guys came off as toys and just that anyone that was not brandishing a gun at you would be seen as a toy. I am working on adding a tutorial. Will be expanding on the game and have a band of thieves who want to assist the Helping Hand in taking down the Mayor. If you enjoyed the game follow the itch.io page and I will be working to put out updates based on everyone's feedback. It is budum but one guy thought bottle and butter is not way off.
@dk5000p sure thing, Id do that, Im very new to all this and my itch.io page is mostly empty too. Its nice to have someone going in the same direction. About Bosca Ceoil.. that thing.. my god, people make it look so easy to make music, and when I have my hands on it, it easily takes hours and not going anywhere. I was very frustrated at one point T__T
@nam-nguyen Also, did you make it to the Mayor, score of 20 will get you to the final boss level.
@dk5000p oh no, I could try again, but it would be nice if you have a cheat code hehe :smile: I tried again, but I have collected everything and still run out of time, only 17 toys. Are you sure I can always collect 20 toys in time or it depends on whether the generator would generate enough toys?
@nam-nguyen If you want to see a great play of the game by manbeardgames, go to that video https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297450872, and 4 hour 11 minute mark. The rng should be pretty fast. I usually get 30 and am happy I did not set the score to 30 because I feel no one would have made it. The speed indicates how many toys you currently are carrying, so if you collide with the box and your speed is 10 you will get no points, the tennis balls will set your speed back up to 10, taking away all the toys you are carrying. Future Ludum Dares I will make sure to have a tutorial or be very specific in my text write up.
@dk5000p ahhhh I seee!! People really overlook the text tutorial, and even I have read the tutorial, there is no guarantee that I will remember that during the game play because the learning and the practicing are in different places. I have checked the stream haha, he was very committed to defeating the mayor haha
Yeah best playing of my game I have seen and he seemed to get everything.
Cool game though I didn't really know what I was supposed to do when I got to the mayor..
Best SFX and Music in LD42!! <3
Yeah, the sound is quite annoying, and the controls quite buggy, otherwise there is a game and it could have been even better with more sfx, more (or a bigger) Level Design. Anyway, it's a good work !
@miracl yeah working on a post jam version to have cleaner controls and a tutorial. Seems people either love or hate the audio. There will be more levels and story fleshing out the world. Did you get to 20 points and face the Mayor? Thanks for playing.
@dk5000p No i don't, I didn't understand how to score points. Maybe I should have try harder xD
@miracl If you collide with a toy you will see your score decrease. If you then collide with donations box when your speed is below 10, you'll get points 4 points if your speed is 6, 8 points if your speed is 2 and so on. If you collide with a tennis ball, your speed is reset to 10 and if you collide with 10 toys you can't move until a tennis ball hits you.
WOW. Still laughing. Consider adding a volume warning for people who wear headphones :D This was both funny AND I got to feel good by donating to charity. Win win.
@seizethedia, yeah I have heard a lot of people say it is loud, maybe I just always have the volume on my headphones set so low I didn't notice it. Working on a tutorial level now and plan to keep uploading new versions, but might be doing Extra Credit Game Jam this weekend, so not sure if I will be able to work on this or not. Did you make it to the Mayor and thanks for playing?
I can tell that you had fun :D congrats on the first entry for a game jam! But I hated the music and it was hard to understand when someone was talking.
This was fantastic. It reminded me of one of my favorite jam entries this year, farmalot. I think your sprites need to have their layers ordered. I also think the blue camera bg in some scenes feels too engine stock compared to how unique everything else is. Thanks for making this! Here is a link to your spot on my stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/298451826?t=01h28m33s
@tigerj yeah I am annoyed at myself for not just going with the black background. Yeah the layering was good at one point but fixing so many different bugs I think the ordering became off. Working on a tutorial and a whole new group of characters called the Yarn Brigade. Hoping to get a new version loaded. Did you make it to the Mayor? Actually I'll watch. Pretty sure I watched it live the other day.
@antonsem yeah seems like people either love or hate the music. I thought it was better than silence. Maybe I could have timed the audio better. Thanks for the feedback and I was really happy to get something made.
@dk5000p yeah, that is why i love game jams; if nothing else you end up with a brand new game :)
Yes, it's annoying but also fun. I really liked the weirdness and oddness of the game.
I love voice acted games :-)
@kromeboy working on a game for extra credit game jam which has a sort of metal song and the game is fantasy themed. Since it is a work from me, probably will get the same vibe, especially similar art. Also, planning on putting an updated version of City of Forgotten Toys. Once I finish the concept art I might post the Yarn Brigade on the front page and also still need to do a Post Mortem.
@jokku Yeah, I was really split if it should be on loop, the game feels a little hollow with just the evil laughs when you pickup toys. Happy you enjoyed the world.
Neat! Music was humorous but definitely got annoying after a while. The concept is quite innovative and the control scheme is simple and easy to learn. Art could have been better and the movement felt very floaty. Bullet collisions were a little odd as well. Overall a great concept, good work! :)
@Megalink. Thanks for the review. Yeah some people like the floaty controls but it probably is just how the collision detection is setup, probably tweaking some numbers could make it feel more fluid. Yeah I was thinking maybe play for 20 seconds, have a short break then start up again for the music, having silence was a little eerie but I know, I was worried it would get annoying and seems some people started singing along and loved it and others were done with it after a short time. Did you make it to the Mayor?
The game looks really cool. I was a little confused on what to do and kind of thrown into everything at once, but picked up the controls very fast and it was easy to understand what to do. I didn't confront the Mayor but that part sounds cool.
Funny little game, loved the sound hahaha
Please do check our game and leave us some feedback.
@kalcoslinder I am happy you were able to figure things out. If you get 20 points you confront the Mayor. Working on a post jam version with tutorial and better controls, health, and extra levels.
@void-productions Happy you enjoyed the humor and sounds, did you make it to the Mayor? If you get 20 points you confront the Mayor. Working on a post jam version with tutorial, health, additional characters and levels.
Audio feels weird. I know it fits the theme but it just seems off to me. I would even say silence is better. Control is too floaty. Also, the colliders of the character did not align properly. You can get stuck at the edge of a platform. The toys only spawn near the donation box which is strange. The boss fight is too easy to exploit. It feels like fighting Bowser Jr. without it hiding in the shell once.
"Budum Budum Budum"
I loved the all acapella audio. Concept for game play is good, and I love that the more toys you're carrying, the slower you move. Adding some visual indicators for what happens when you get hit could help improve a lot. It seems that you lose all the toys you've picked up when hit, but it doesn't 'feel' like that, if that makes sense. There were a couple of places on the ground that you clip against and can't smoothly move left or right because of the uneven ground, not sure if this was a design choice or not, but felt i needed to mention it.
Fun entry to play. Here is the clip from the stream where we did the play through https://www.twitch.tv/videos/300325104
@daniel-mak silence was also weird. I think the goofiness fit the world. Boss fight got away from me time wise. The rest hopefully will be addressed in the post jam version. Thanks for playing.
@manbeardgames initially the toys were supposed to drop randomly on the map but was not getting it to work. Addressing a lot of issues in post jam version I hope to upload
@dk5000p The sound is brilliant haha I loved it and overall gameplay is neat, good job.
@abhis1kadian Thanks for the kind reviews. Seems there are more positive reviews on the sounds than negative, which I am happy about because getting actual music to give me something I liked, just was not happening. Did you make it to the Mayor? I have a pretty busy end of August, was hoping to get a post Jam version out but with two four/five day vacations in August, I am not sure if I will.
Funny game! Not sure if it's a very good math to the theme, but it was pretty fun to play (though, a bit repetitive). I think that controls need a bit more work with some classic tricks from platformers, for example, I regularly fell from the edge of the platform. Sounds were funny! I love when people record sounds themselves and not using some libraries.
Pros: - Killer soundtrack - Amazing story - Very fun to play
Cons: - Wasn't really sure what to do - Kinda short game
Overall, nice entry!
@roman-petrov added a ground check collider on the thumb, so once I upload that version you should be able to jump if you get into those weird collision places. I saw one person play the game and get completely stuck between two bricks and I had never encountered that in testing but also in testing I knew the controls well so most of the ledge stickiness was avoided.
@Syraptor A tutorial is coming and additional levels and even an expansion on the story.
Whoops, sorry, I commented on the wrong game. I've got too many tabs open lol. I'll play this shortly.
EDIT:
Okay, sorry for the confusion. Interesting take on a platformer. The audio was a little bit on the annoying side, to be perfectly honest, but it was still kind of humorous. Nice work.
@jeplmr Thanks. I find I have clashing things that somehow meld. There is humor but I find the world gritty with some noir. Make it to the Mayor? It is amazing how some people had no idea what to do and others picked up the game pretty easily. I hope it was a fun experience.
@jeplmr haha I did the same thing for a comment and surprisingly the comment was still pretty true
I wasn’t sure what to do. I had some issues with the thumb collisions. Maybe a smaller rectangle collider than the shape of the hand would do the job ? The audio was very fun to me ("music" and sfx).
Good Job !
@deformhead I have now added a specific ground check for the thumb and was toying with a box collider for the rest. Also, a tutorial should hopefully help with the confusion of what to do. I am happy you enjoyed the audio and surprisingly to me, that seems to have become the selling point of the game.
You need to be careful with the speed in this game, it feels pretty slow. Despite the graphics, you can actually add some kind of score indicating how many toys you collect, also you could add a timer or a health bar. Anyway, congrats on complete and submit your game on time.
Nice use of the theme ! Maybe the slowness is really really slow ^^ as @agar3s said, a health bar would be very great !
Maybe you should have done some sound when put toys in the pack :)
In any case, nice concept, great job !!
@thibaultar @agar3s Your speed decreased by one per toy picked up, or did you think the base speed of 10 was too slow? @agar3s there was a score indicating number of toys you collected and a 2 minute timer. I am planning on adding health and setting min speed to 5. Thanks for the feedback
Haha! The music was inspirational :musical_note: that'll be stuck in my head for a while :stuck_out_tongue:
Interesting graphics, what I've found during my time doing Ludum Dare is that limitations improve things by a surprising amount! - Use smaller assets (16x16 pixels or maybe 32x32) - Colour palette of maybe 8 or so colours - Consistent style and limited pixel scaling Those are the rules I live by anyway, and my average art score throughout all my jams/compos is around 4 stars, so I guess it works :stuck_out_tongue:
The mood and humour were superb, I hope you learnt a lot on your first LD, I sure did on mine :grinning: great job!
@conk I sure did and the artwork was fun to do, but getting the camera framed as I wanted made it so zoomed out that most of the detail was lost, at least some of it could be seen on the splash screen and game over screen, there was stitching and button eyes on the stuffed toy. I learned a lot on this and am looking forward to December. Did not love the theme but got me to create a world I do really like. Planning on uploading a post jam version, have health and a few other things setup. The tutorial is also almost done. Yeah, seems I have the lovers and the haters of the music. I'll see if I go more traditional on the next one.Thanks for the kind words and I am excited for the ratings in 8 days.
I didn't get the theme but it's a great game! The graphics is very original! Well done :)
@p1nkmaria yeah the theme was subtlety in the gameplay with only being able to carry 10 toys and the tennis balls making you feel confined. Other people also felt the theme more in the Mayor level but it was mainly in the story, which was on the main page and under rules. I am happy you enjoyed it.
A little game very fun and original! I really loved the sound effects and the overall atmosphere! I think more gameplay possibilities would make this game even better as well as some visual effects and feedbacks to enhance the experience even more! Great job! :)
By the way please feel free to leave us some feedbacks on our game!
@zinsoki I am working on adding a tutorial and heqalth. Yeah a simple particle effect on pickup would be good. Yeah adding the ability to kill enemies and maybe more characters. So much I want to add and so little time. Thanks for playing.
Quite funny to play ngl, the sound effects had me smiling haha, the gameplay itself is nice, a little slow but you balanced the mechanics around the speed of the game perfectly, there is a slight collision glitch in the floor platforms near the box i ended up getting trapped between two pieces but it eventually let me go. Overall i like it it seems to have an air of fun to it, in future it may help to improve the UI, giving it health and making the carry capacity more clear, but this is very well done! Congrats!
@Sollara Games Already working on health and being able to kill the bad guys. Also, setting min speed to 5, since some people said the game was too slow. Also, added a collision to the thumb, so hopefully that stuck situation would not happen. I saw it on someone's stream and was amazed that it happened. Thanks for playing.
param param param param, porom pom pom.. ok.. thanks.. now i have a song stuck in my head :D
@sloyd I hope that is a good thing.
Nice! I love your home grown use of Audio for everything. The platforming wasn't as smooth as it could have been, but it worked! Good job :D
@ratherjolly Thanks. Yeah getting stuck between platforms can be annoying.
Fun little game! I really like the mechanic of how the more toys you are carrying, the more you slow down.
One specific thing I would like to see is a checkpoint of sorts for when you reach the mayor stage. The first time I got there, I died fairly quickly and was slightly annoyed that I had to play through the first part all over again to reach the boss.
One big thing that I think you should improve on is how the player feels to control. In most 2D platformers, the player falls towards the ground much faster than they would in the real world; this leads to a much tighter feeling game and lets the player feel like they are more in control of the action.
Not gonna lie though, I am a fan of the cheap 2D cartoony graphics, that is mostly what my games consist of :)
Congratulations on your first LD entry!!!
@johnny-turbo yeah the controls need tweaking. Given the game is only 2 levels not sure if putting a checkpoint makes sense but it is really easy to implement, with just reloading the level. Working on this game and creating one that is a little different with words as the platforms and triggers with the words, so zombie would summon a zombie. Yeah I like doodling so cartoony 2d is my style. I am away from a computer on a trip but maybe I can play your game when I get back Monday. Thanks
Definitely a funny game, man, especially the intro voiceover and the background music made with vocal sounds.
@jordantanner Thanks, they were fun to do. I am excited for the ratings.
pretty cool game! didn't realize at first that you get slower when picking up toys. that's why i was wondering why the jumping was so inconsistent. but once i understood the mechanics, i admit that i enjoyed playing this game! the badum badum badum bgm was kinda annoying at first but after a few minutes i was actually singing along with it. i'd probably do a beatbox of my own for the music next LD! i made it to the mayor but i don't know how to defeat him since the balls can't hit him. the graphics are pretty nice and fits the artstyle and mood of the game. it would be great if there is a health bar and some of the ui disappears when playing full screen on the browser. the teddy bears are also kinda dark. if you give it a nice outline it would stand out more to the player. overall, great job making this game!
Hey! Sorry for the wait, I've covered your game here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SIZhon4MYE
That background music was hilarious, well done! Thanks for sharing your game with my stream awhile back. Your game was played around 4:41 into this vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/299401837
@martintristan Yeah, maybe I should have been more explicit in the rules that picking up toys slowed you down. The jumping might have also been inconsistent due to weird collisions, but I think it was partly based on velocity. You had to jump on the Mayor's head to defeat him, I understand if either your volume was too low or my enunciation was not the best, also if you just jumped on his head once, that might also have been an issue. You have to jump 10 times. Thanks for playing.
@inventroom @ursagames Thanks for streaming my games. @inventroom Working on polishing and posting a new version. Will be able to jump with the thumb collision. Yeah people are split on the audio. Trying to mix the level of sounds so everything can be heard and the background music is a little quieter. @ursagames happy you liked the music.
So first off congrats on making a Comp game, thats a serious undertaking. The graphics while simple were consistent and people tend to think awesome graphics that look like they ae part of multiple different games trumps simpler graphics that are consistent so good work in that regards. Everything fits with the theme and you absolute madlad even added a voice over tutorial! Color me impressed.
The gameplay is clear tho what makes the mayor show up, and what that even means isint. The controls are solid and the audio....God the audio, is such a wonderfull masterpiece of memes that frankly, it makes the the first game I rate 5/5 in humor. Its overall a solid simple platformer with some bugs (I do a crazy high jump sometimes out of the blue) and I still dont know what those yellow things are (I think toys, i collected them regardless) and there seems to be no reason to avoid the tenis balls as there is really no visual feedback, no health bar and time didnt go down for me.
Still overall good work on this Comp game.
Scary Hand/10 would pararaparara/woosh! again.
Join our discord and hang out with gamers and devs: https://discord.gg/amwhTDX
@dreamingdice Yeah it was not obvious that getting hit with the tennis balls set your speed to 10 and your score was based on speed below 10, so if speed was 6 you would get 4 points. Yeah, was able to put 30 hours into this and really wish I could figure out animation, to add a little more life to the game. I also am not sure what causes the crazy high jumps, I think it is a weird collision that might cause a weird speed reading allowing a crazy jump effect, not sure if a feature or a bug, depends if people liked it or not. The Mayor shows up if you get 20 points, it is a simple boss level fight and if you defeat him, you get the you win screen. I am amazed that the yellow things did not read as sorry pieces and toys, most people saw them as enemies, probably should just have the teddy bears and add a border so they standout, like someone suggested. Yeah the hand was going to be the villain and the teddy bear was going to be the main character, but the story and idea morphed. Next release should have a health bar and you can kill the bad guys. Thanks for playing and I am excited to see where I rate in humore.
Cool! :D +++++
@andrei9 Happy you thought the game was cool, if you have any negatives or what you thought was cool, that would be a lot of help. Thanks for playing.
