figjig 2018-08-11 02:39

this ended to fast I wanted to touch the banana

secretstage 2018-08-11 11:04

@bungalow you can! High replay value!

bungalow 2018-08-11 11:17

this is the best game ever I got to touch a banana

yukey0 2018-08-12 13:16

The banana made me smug, lol. Agree with the comment above, and I think the apple hates me :c Anyways, cool game you made while short.

What version are we supposed to rate?

jole 2018-08-13 10:32

I give these games a score of 0.5 each but wait there is 10 games that means a total of 5! Well its to late to change it now!

figjig 2018-08-13 11:08

@jole you play them all simultaneously and rate that experience

jole 2018-08-13 11:33

@figjig All right. Thats what i did!

angela-k 2018-08-14 10:00

At first I was like :confused: , then I was like :slight_smile: . I played Sacculus V: Ghost in the Sacculos, then I played the directors cut. Nice.

kr4ft3r 2018-08-14 20:21

Quite inventive and deep. It is only in Sacullos 3D that I managed to get the banana. Sacullos V is my favorite. Sacullos Open World was a shameless money grabbing hurried release riddled with bugs that made it unplayable, it seems you guys sold out.

gurkenlabs 2018-08-16 12:51

Are you even a little sorry for making this?

figjig 2018-08-16 14:18

@gurkenlabs We're sacculos for making it actually.

secretstage 2018-08-16 14:26

@gurkenlabs are you even a little sorry for playing this?

angel-felix 2018-08-16 18:58

we got a GOTY contender over here. you know... I'm not gonna lie I didn't think sacculos was gonna work as an open world game so I was honestly surprised to see you guys actually re-innovated the genre pushing it further than its ever been pushed before!

gurkenlabs 2018-08-17 18:02

@secretstage a little.

cristihkj 2018-08-21 17:19

Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D

Really love the idea, very orginal <3

merpader 2018-08-21 20:44

I have no idea what I just played but I've finally found meaning in life

omiya-games 2018-08-21 20:58

I...Well...Um...

Ya know, I always thought I liked absurdist humor a lot. There's a lot of appeal to the philosophy that we humans will always be seeking for meaning in things that clearly has none. This game series, which gives me the Soda Drinker Pro vibe is...quite a bit much for me to swallow. I mean, I guess it's a commentary on our obsessions with sequels?

I rated high in innovation, though. There's a lot of potential in the concept. If anyone in the team plans to pursue this implementation further in future games, I'm all for it.

erikiene 2018-08-21 23:14

Right... First things first - this belongs in Tate modern.

Favourite things (going beyond the fact that the whole thing as a unit is my favourite thing): - the soundtrack of part 3 (and some sequels) - the art of part 5 - the narration and story telling of Textulus - the falling through floor and going for a wild infinite ride through the absurd emptiness of it all in Open World (screencapped below)

I bow to you, great sirs, for letting me experience this.

@omiya-games

> I mean, I guess it’s a commentary on our obsessions with sequels?

There is more to it. In fact there is an infinite series of infinitely large things, and another, separate, infinite series of infinitely small things within each Sacculus.

omiya-games 2018-08-22 03:57

@s-ol So...you're saying another sequel is coming?

tannimun 2018-08-22 07:29

Mind blown! Insane game, great idea! First I was unsure which version I was supposed to play, then I realised THAT was the game. Amazing!
