Great job! Visual side of game is outstanding!

Agreed, wanted to play this game simply because visual aesthetic caught my eye! Really awesome work! The music and general cheery mood made this game a joy to play. I also loved the variety of items that were shaped the same. Keep up the great work!

Thank you very much. Agreed, @turbo-torbo outdid himself with the visuals :smile:

Can't understand the rules, i just pick up a lot of stuff and randomly use it near the totems, it's not native. But visual is nice.

Hi there,

Love the music and graphics. I like the overall idea that the island is crumbling, that looked nice. The overall game mechanic itself of pickup stuff up and using it was not so satisfying.

Good job overall though :slight_smile:

Graphics and music are great. I couldn't really tell what giving the items to the totems did, I assume some power ups. The idea was interesting and thematically came together (island, gods, totems, washed up junk etc.) Nice job!

Could not understand the rules.. art style is great

baktillus 2018-12-04 13:45

Yea we kept the rules a bit obfuscated i guess @hakansoyozen @jongjo @azamatika You're supposed to sacrifice the items that get "washed ashore" (broken lerp makes it look very strange) to the corresponding gods. triangles go to the triangle statue etc. When you do it right you get rewarded, otherwise you get massive penalties.

One of the gods doesnt do anything because we had to cut spikes and other obstacles.

Really, really adorable art style. I absolutely love the character's design. The music and sound effects are great as well.

Took me a minute to understand the rules, but when I did the game as a whole made a lot more sense. Although it didn't feel like I was actively working towards something, and there were no additionally introduced mechanics which made the game feel a little monotonous.

Thematically, it works very well (although is it really a sacrifice if you are just throwing away trash that is washing ashore :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

Great job, would have loved to see if fleshed out a bit more.

@sanjeev @captaincorgistan thanks guys, glad you liked it :)

turbo-torbo 2018-12-04 16:50

@ryan-brenner Thanks man, I like our little BOB as well :) Would have loved to flesh it out a bit more too, we had much more in mind but had to cut most of it to make it in time. Maybe we'll do that later if we find the time. Cheers!

raivk 2018-12-04 22:10

tweedle 2018-12-05 06:41

enjoyed the art style and mechanics! didn't figure out why i should jump around but it was fun bouncin' anyway 🍕

turbo-torbo 2018-12-05 09:30

@captaincorgistan thanks for the <3

turbo-torbo 2018-12-05 09:31

@raivk @tweedle thanks so much for your comments guys. glad you liked the visuals :)

baktillus 2018-12-05 10:53

@tweedle ya the jump is pretty much pointless except if you for some reason need to cross water quickly.. we meant to have spikes in the game for you to jump over :D

designernap 2018-12-05 11:03

A lot of fun here :) I like the promise of content messages and the music :D Great entry.

paul-p1 2018-12-07 20:26

I enjoyed the drawings, the idea of a sinking island was really well executed and and it made sense with the theme, well done!

evanaellio 2018-12-09 14:21

Promising game and art style but it lacks some more purpose to feel complete. Hope you had fun making it :wink:

artur-hawkwing 2018-12-18 00:56

Interesting game, and nice use of the theme. It was very quick, and I would have loved some more graphics (or even just more color)

Overall, nice job
