Weird, but fun!
It's really a funny game that matches the cover! It is difficult to select what one wants to take when one has too much object stacked it's difficult to bring the precise objects to the helicopter! But I love pushing all this mess outside! And people pay for it! The music is repetitive it's a shame, the graphics are nice! The sound effects in the mouth goes well, Good idea!
@robowarrior1982 Thank you for your feedback. And yes, there is a reason why I added [F5] to mute music.
interesting game :) got a little sad that i accidentally pushed some garbage out and got fined and lost all my money ;___; but its pretty fun!
The damn town shouldn't be so angry about me accidentally selling some radioactive material; one mans trash is another one's gold; isn't it?
I absolutely love the idea and execution here; I haven't seen enough physics based space shortages and this one delivers. A way to see Helios requests without physically being next to it and a window on the first floor might've been nice; I never found the time to actually remove trash because I would have to get everything up first. I love the throwing, it basically never failed me and quality of life stuff like the picking up indicator help a lot in extinguishing frustration.
I gotta say though, you should be ashamed for the voice lines on the throwing. ( It might have increased the Humor rating though, just saying.) Great work!
@peringo, I definitely agree with having some way to see what is being requested without being near the helicopter, that should've been obvious for me to add! I would've added a window on the first floor, but it would've conflicted with the raccoons coming in and I didn't want to have to do too many workarounds. As for the voices, that's @torqid for ya. You don't want to know what she was naming the sprites. :smile:
Thanks for the feedback!
Very fun little game! Loved the assets and mechanics~ Just have the same complaint as @peringo , I the house was too big to actually be able to go back and up and throw the garbage in a reasonable time, or even to the helicopter, I just sold everything worth something in the first floor, rarely going for the helicopter and was able to survive up to the 3rd month :smile:
Cheers!
Maybe one of the funniest games I played on this jam, very god job!! At the end, when all stucks on the house is annoying, maybe if it is easier to throw off the trash the players could survive more time. But really I wouldnt change anything of this game, its very good finished. Keep on it!!!
Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D
Hey. This has been an intense experience for me. I have really been moved by the crying girl on the title screen, obliged to sell her preferred plush to pay the rent. I might be seing to too deep into the game; but that mix of sadness, with the fact that we are tearing any valuable things down, the aggravating struggle to pay the rent, and the accumulating garbage... Wouha, that's a terrible downward spiral, in great contrast with the bright colors and cheerfull music. Very dark experience actually, sometimes not too far from reallity. Good job.
