I hope you have fun with my game ;)

edit: i've updated to figure your comments, -added a chrono -changed the language to english (maybe there is some mispelled sorry about that)

The game feels a bit too simple in my opinion, but it really fits the theme!

Also, I didn't understand the language in the game, please make it in english :)

Well, I don't speak the language but it was easy enough to work out what to do. The graphics and sounds are effective. Gameplay is rather too simple though, as far as I can tell it'd run it's course after about 30 seconds and replaying didn't add much. Also the way walking works is odd, it feels as though it makes you take a full long-stride step if you even tap in a given direction, and I think I'd find that very frustrating in a more complex game.

The game has a run time of about 15 seconds. That is after you find out what the game wants from you. As an English speaker, I can say that if the game just throws text at you in a foreign language it isn't much fun trying to find out what is happening. After I found out what was going on the game felt a bit lacking in the.. well... fun aspect. You are thrown into a room with the only thing to do is pick a seat. There seems to only be 1 or 2 left and after you pick a free seat you win, You get an abstract point and you can play again.

I liked the graphics and sounds but the game was too simple. If you added a timer or maybe other characters trying to get to the seat before you it would be more fun.

Fun game overall but could use some polish

vekstr 2018-08-14 12:15 ♥ 1

It's so fun when you get into that trance frantically trying to find the empty seat 😸

But the game gets monotonous after a while. Maybe make the other people walk to their seats while we search for the remaining one?

@vekstr thanks for the cool idea but i'm too bad at scripting ;)

thanks

This is a nice idea for the theme. It's relatable and interesting. The only thing that I think you could do to improve this game is to work a little on your movement behaviour. It becomes difficult to move precisely because you just move too quickly. Well done on the solo jam though!

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

chaitae 2018-08-15 14:31 ♥ 1

Cool concept, the music kind of got annoying because it restart every time I chose a seat though.

Added a HTML5 version ;)

Nice little game! Maybe it is a bit hard to aim seats at the last row cause of controls in web mode.

My record is 17 !!

farfadet46 2018-08-19 20:31 ♥ 0

hehe nice score :) mine is very low XD maybe 8 !

reax 2018-08-20 02:22 ♥ 1

Very nice with a HTML5 version. My best is 5. How on earth did you get 17?? 😆

anastasiats 2018-08-20 19:23 ♥ 1

Nice game. A bit repetetive, especially the music, and there is no difficulty added each time, that's unfortunate.

Never played a game like yours before :). Good job for creating something new! Even though it is a very simple to understand game, I initially went and clicked on the child, instead of finding an empty seat, but after that I figured it out. One thing that I did not particularly like was that the brightness was pretty dim, and it made the game pretty hard, but I guess that's how you wanted it to be :).

thanks for your comment @luca1152 and @anastasiats it's the first time where i made a game to the end :)
