Nothing too new for this one. The art was well done, but there have been many games like this that already exist.

squirmonkey 2018-08-13 02:51

The graphics for this game are pretty cute. Especially the main character, which I think is really well done. It looks like you have some like, speckled artifacts maybe from scanning them in? I think it'd look better if you did a little editing to clean up the sprites a little.

Gameplay is pretty standard, but seems to work well. I think it might help if you had the items spawn from above the top of the screen so that you have more time to react to them.

programmingdimension 2018-08-13 02:52

The art is pretty decent!

4thwallstudios 2018-08-13 02:56

Had fun! Death check is a little sensitive, and would have loved to have a button to play again (had to refresh the page)

krapht 2018-08-13 02:59

You did a lot with minimal graphics and the animation was fun. If you could turn this into mobile game it would be a fun little time waster.

mshopf 2018-08-13 03:00

Cute art, gameplay is working well. It is a bit unfair at times, but that's ok. I think your title would benefit a lot from some sound effects and or music. I love the mood the main character is creating!

nice pencil drawn artwork, absolutely love it !, the gameplay also simple and addictive, this can easily get ported and made into unlimited jumping kind of game, well done !

wongkongphooey 2018-08-13 11:52

Top marks for fun, certainly takes some skill to be good at it. Has a lot of replay value just for beating high scores. Well done!

dunin 2018-08-13 12:01

Congratz to finish it!

It's simple but fun. And I like the character style.

my best: 15.

rob-white 2018-08-13 12:32

The player character felt quite stunted and jerky to move around but the artwork really made the game come to life. Good job!

anstabo 2018-08-13 13:15

The blob is actually really fluid even with hand drawn animation, we made a blob too and it's not as jelly as this one <3. The game is simple and fun, but there's a couple thing that could have been done differently, the spawning of objects shouldn't be directly on the player it causes too much case of softlock, stuck inside mesh etc... The game feel is pretty nice to be fair, good job !

paden-shorey 2018-08-13 13:32

A few tips: - spawn the objects off screen so the player can't see them spawn - write somewhere within the game that 'r' is to restart or have a retry button - allow for players to move the items (I got stuck in a little cave where I couldn't get squished but no more items could fit into where I was so I would never die)

wieczny 2018-08-13 13:32

Art is amazing. This game make me laugh and give lots of fun :sweat_smile:

fryderider 2018-08-13 14:56

Nice one! As someone else said, you did a lot with minimal graphics.

I'd say keep going with the pencil drawn art, could be really cool. Great job!

qazikol 2018-08-13 15:12

Really cool game! The player animation looks good and melds well with player control, and the sprite switching makes those movements feel much more deliberate in navigating the smoothly moving objects.

mathiouza 2018-08-13 15:16

Really cool graphism but it lacks sounds and music... I think the game is a little too rough and the concept is quite common. It fits the theme though.

Keep coding :)

erendelous 2018-08-13 15:35

The game looks nice! And it's pretty fun to play, but it lacks some audio.

alexander-tan 2018-08-13 16:15

Its ok, would have prefered a restart button

albin 2018-08-13 16:32

@alexander-tan @4thwallstudios There is a restart button! Its R. I wrote it in the description but I should have made it more clear in-game, especially in the game over screen :D

untitled-studios 2018-08-13 17:19

The art for this game is amazing! The gameplay is a bit minimalistic, but fun. If I had one complaint it would be that the camera does not quite frame the gameplay well.

manusaiz 2018-08-13 18:10

It is a very addictive game!It's a fun game and I like the main character. My best score: 14 =) (I hope I did a good job!)

manusaiz 2018-08-13 18:10

Ah! And I like the art aswell =)

deathray 2018-08-14 02:15

home1.png Safe in my new home! This game fun for a bit, and the graphics are really charming.

judy-kim 2018-08-14 06:12

I like that the objects came in all sizes, the first thing that fell down on me was a tiny tiny clock and it was adorable haha. The blob character is really appealing and has nice squash and stretch :) I think hand-drawn stuff like this is super cool and am glad I came across this, thanks for making it!

lespaul59 2018-08-14 16:45

really awesome graphics and the animations and the gameplay is also good! The game is really challenging :)

cope 2018-08-15 02:16

Really nice game. I like the animations.

undefinist 2018-08-15 06:07

Charming art style with the hand drawn stuff! Nice concept, but feels too unfair and luck-based. Congrats on finishing your first jam! ;)

t8kk 2018-08-15 06:18

Hey albin cool concept! Occasionally the game was so tricky when i got cornered by objects and then i got a finishing blow from a falling object from the sky haha. If ther would be powerups or some way i could sometimes destroy objects would be a nice way to break some difficult scenarios. Overall fresh idea and good physics fun with unique hand drawn arts style, nicely done. :)

alien 2018-08-15 11:55

Great Game Albin!, The Graphics are really nice!. I hid under a bunch of tv :laughing: . Great Concept but could use some work. Other than that its a really fun game!

bismark 2018-08-15 12:48

The graphics and animation are really very successful. It may lack a test to avoid the "infinite part" when the character is surrounded by objects, but not crushed by them. :-)

namnam 2018-08-15 14:00

simple but still funny. We really feel anxious about being crush. I like the art style too.

shaggyfox 2018-08-15 16:03

Nice simple game with interesting art-style.

A little thing I noticed was that I had to reload the web-version to try again after failing ^^

albin 2018-08-15 16:05

@shaggyfox actually you can just press R. I wrote it in the description but I should have wrote it in-game.

shaggyfox 2018-08-15 17:44

Ah thank you @albin :) shame on me :grin:

anna-petrova 2018-08-16 12:48

Nice graphics:)

hungare 2018-08-16 15:33

I like it! I like the graphics as well, but I think it would have looked even better if the text had the pencil drawn look to make everything cohesive. The gameplay was also kind of challenging but fun. I wish there was some sound, even a simple background music, but all in all it was well done!

mza 2018-08-16 15:46

First of all, congrats on finishing the game. First thing I though was that you implemented the theme really well. The art style is also quite cool.

Thers a lack of UI and replay button but i think that's due to the compo time limit.

lndrstrll 2018-08-16 20:09

Nice game! i love the pencil drawings and the main character animation. :tv:

cobear25 2018-08-16 20:17

I really like the art and the framed animations. Lack of sound made it somewhat uninteresting though.

shp 2018-08-16 20:17

very cute graphics, you also succeeded at your goals, it is playable :)

imtehq 2018-08-16 20:18

Good looking game, not sure how the point gone up or anything but was fun to play, well done!

arron-fowler 2018-08-17 08:55

I loved it. Once I worked out what the crack was. Simple yet difficult. Great work

lastleaf 2018-08-19 13:38

I really like your art style, and the idea is great. But I think the game logic need improved. On my second try I get this

2018-08-19 21.34.24.png

wow

wildcard 2018-08-19 18:13

Nice idea to have the game spawn items to climb on. it perfectly complements the theme! Well done!

void-productions 2018-08-22 15:50

@albin Really like the art, gameplay is simple and has been done before in many games but still was decent, good job buddy. Do check our game and leave some feedback.

polyducks 2018-08-22 18:59

I really, really liked this one. The art style is fresh and new instead of the usual pixelart and the character is simple but likeable. The controls felt good and comfortable. This is currently my number one for this jam.

Please try out my game and let me know what you think!

zirrrus 2018-08-26 08:45

The art and animations of the little blob are really cute and charming :)

Fun little game!

imphenzia 2018-09-01 22:54

I liked the hand drawn art and especially the animated blob as it felt nice to control it seeing it react to the movements. The un-skippable delay after "game over" made me not play it for too long since I died quite often =)

andrei9 2018-09-03 16:47

Nice game! interesting graphics :thumbsup:
