What a lovely game! The graphics are awesome and level of polish is very high (for example how seamless you continue the game after death) :thumbsup:

What a lovely game! The graphics are awesome and level of polish is very high (for example how seamless you continue the game after death) :thumbsup:
Excellent! I love the art style and the music. The gameplay was so smooth. Aside from a couple glitches when holding the stones and jumping, everything was spot on. It's amazing how much polish you got in one weekend. Very impressive work!
Your game is perfect! The graphics, the sounds, the style, the vibe... Amazing! :star::star::star::star::star:
Really well made game. Everything looks fantastic, the art style is great. The characters are funny. The intro really creates a fun mood. Good gameplay mechanics and pacing too. Great job.
Visuals, audio and gameplay are very well done! And the intro provides a nice "backstory" to the game (+mood, +humor). Nice work!
Absolutely superb! This feels really polished, incredible work for a LD jam. Any crits (small) have been made already, so all I can say is well done! :thumbsup:
This is the first 5/5 game i've rated, nothing i can say. Super game.
That art style is so cool!
What a stylish game! Good Job!
Wow! very polished and well done game, the art is superb!
Good music, a bit repetetive though. The mecanics where good, it was fun to play. The art was very nice. I like the borderlands style outline shader. Also It's werid that you can just click on Levels>End to "win" the game^^
Good puzzle game, good graphics, good level design, great audio (even if it raped my ears on start), it's a SOLID 5 stars on each category for me (not kidding, I really loved playing the game and I'm sad there were not more levels). Do you plan on creating more ?
This one was lovely! I've played a ton of LD games these past years. And this one would be on my top 10 list. Polished, engaging and fun!
Another masterpiece by the creator of Blow the Hen Down? Sign me up!
I found a bug where sometimes you can grab objects that fell underwater. Amazing game though!
I loved it! The mechanics are great ; music, visuals and humor serve each other in a perfect way.
There are a few bugs with physics, the worst one being that it seems that I can't pick up the tables a second time in the last level, so I had to restart multiple times.
Last thing (that's very minor), I play with an AZERTY keyboard, and was happy to see that you used Unity InputManager, but once in the game, I couldn't use any rebinded key (Z nor W). Did you do something like *if (Input.getAxis("Vertical") != 0 && Input.GetKeyDown("W")) {}*
instead of
*if (Input.getAxis("Vertical") > 0) {}*
?
@rolly Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I do 😔, I'll fix it in the future!
@nickzangus Haha game was so awesome that I can't be mad at you for such a detail :smile:

This game is a work of art! Loved it!
This is an super amazing little puzzle game, with great sense of humour. Well done.
Loved the game especially the art style and music...Got stuck in the room with floating tables...but awesome puzzle design nevertheless...
OMG! This graphics style! Very original and funny game :D
I played through a few levels, and it's a very good game ! I will totally play the rest of it when I will have time ! 😁
The art, music, mood, mechanics, everything is well thought and wonderfully executed.
I completely understand the motivation of your characters, I would totally do the same for beer ! 🍺
Cheers from Belgium guys 🍻
Wooow! Great! :D
Looks and plays great! Always love to see good puzzle games in a jam, and first time I saw a 3d take on the repeated suicide puzzle/platformer. Amazingly polished, noticed a bunch of fine movement tricks that really make it feel satisfying and rewarding (since it's more of a puzzler than a platformer, things like slightly going up the walls if you were about to miss a jump was really nice). Only issue was sometimes it switched back to my guy holding the switch down too quickly when i failed and i ended up running off (particularly in the last level), but besides that it was flawless.
Wow! How did you do this in the time given? Excellent puzzles and beautiful graphics the art style was great! The puzzles were challenging the gameplay was smooth, the mechanics were good, the entire thing was well polished.
A Really Nice Looking Game! .. I had alot of fun playing it!
I loved this one! The music was amazing, graphics well done and the humor and take on the theme fir very well! I did not notice any major bugs either. Great job!
Pretty enjoyable game, last puzzle was a bit finicky but overall I quite liked it :)
Very cool art, and the irish music touch!!
Wow! The graphic and the level design is fantastic!
Oh wow this is great! The gameplay is great, it looks and sounds great and the edge detection looks awesome!
Congrats!
lovely game
Awesome game, especially art style and puzzles (I am surprised that the last scene can be solved differently). Also, I liked the way how you managed the theme. Great work!
I really enjoyed playing your game! The humor & the mood are set up really quickly with the music and the fun introduction by small potato men, it's lovely :) Also I love the details for the Menu.
Mechanics are introduced progressively and I well balanced, each new room is fresh and relevant.
Graphics are crazy for a game jam! Textures are simple but it works very well, I'd like to see more :D The music is a bit repetitive (especially for a puzzle game ^^)
Solid game, congratulations!
This is an awesome game. The art is terrific, the controls make sense, everything is responsive. I found a few of the levels pretty challenging, and I got myself screwed up enough to require restarts, but you provided that capability and an easy way to jump between levels, so that was no trouble. Music and interface are great too. Very, very good game.
I Had a blast playing this, excellent game for a Jam
Amazing art and animations! Hilarious puzzles mixing different mechanics! Table, rock, bombs, columns, etc. mixing with the "beer guys"... ;D smart and good design. Awesome for a Ludum Dare competition! Maybe you can polish the game feel at jump, die, explosions,etc. and add more sounds. Congrats! Amazing work!
beautiful art, love the music and the sound effects. Great job.
Absolutely amazing work. Thanks for the fun I got in this game. It's difficult to believe how could you finish this game for 75 hours. Good luck!
A great game in every single aspect! For my taste I'd prefer a different setting, I felt bad when stomping poor guys:d I think this can grow into a full game, seeing how polished it is for 72 hours of making I wonder what would it be if spent more time on.
good game 5/5!
Very nice entry! I really enjoyed playing it, and I liked how the puzzles could be solved in different ways.
Anything for the beer, right?

Can't really say much about this game that hasn't been said before. That it was made for the jam is already a marvel, since it does look like some games you'd find for sale around. With mechanics that are easy to understand and a lot of quality of life to avoid frustration, this puzzle game is a thrilling hip ride. Great music, lovely graphics and witty humor. Certainly one of the best all-round games in the jam.
It's a shame that tables were only used for one puzzle, but I guess that had to do with time constrains more than anything. There's certainly a lot of potential if you ever decide to further develop this. Puzzles with bombs and tables would be fantastic.
Astonishing work there. [My team](discord.whalesandgames.com) sends you the best wishes. Cheers! :whale:
Great game, I love the art style and the kind of puzzle with multiple solutions. The Irish theme was funny and the sound effects were good.
wow, super cool game! The mechanism fits so well to the theme. And the toon shader is great. And I am wondering if it could be made into an immersive sim game in the future. Since the physics of every object is offering different function, some for its weight, some for the length, and some for the floating...So I feel maybe every level may allow more than one solution. However, this is just a little personal thought. :P As a work in the jam, I feel this has already been a great piece of work!! Good job!!!!
Very polished. And it was very fun. One of the most interesting entry I think.
Extremely well done. This is the first game I've rated five scores in any category this jam.
I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't an ending cutscene, but oh well. Time constraints :P
Great game! Pretty good art style, it's everything very integrated. The puzzles were interesting and the gameplay was fun, very well done for the little time we all had!
Funny interesting puzzles and a great take on the theme. Impressive amount of work in 72 hours!
the style is fantastic
I absolutely love the art style and music! The gameplay is interesting too with a good grip on the theme. There are lots of different mechanics but too few levels to discover them fully. I would have loved more levels!
Did you know...
wat_how.png
... that you can walk on the wooden beams on the walls? Was that intentional or did I find a glitch? :-)
Using this "technique" I finished the last level with only two boards :-)
This is a great game! I love the art, these people look so cute and I love the animations in the intro! This makes for such a great mood and atmosphere. The music does the rest, it really feels like a unique little world. A really awesome creation, you have my biggest respect for this!
One minor issue I had was the mouse sensitivity, it took a little to get used to because mouse movement is so sensitive. Moving my mouse one inch to the side rotates me 360 degrees, lowering the sensitivity or making it settable would be nice. This is always a thing in 3D games where you control the camera.
The gameplay was fun and interesting, I like these kinds of puzzle games. Also, the theme was nicely incorporated, I killed a lot of those little rascals in the process :-D
Another positive thing about your game is that I did not have to read the instructions at all. I never read the instructions and I think a game must be made in a way that I do not have to, either. The way you did it is exactly right, you have a cool animation sequence to tell us what to do and then you give us the right mouse button image and tell us what to do at just the right time. The hints that the guys give us, they are really small and fit the mood, yet they convey all the necessary information. Really great design as well, introducing new concepts one by one.
This is how it's done, great game, you can be very proud of yourself!
PS: I want to let you know that while I am writing this review, I am still listening to your cool intro music :-)
Such a well-polished game!! So much was great about this game: graphics, music, sound effects, level design, game mechanics... the list could go on. Love it!
Wow, such a hilarious puzzle game! I love the artstyle and the whole Irish atmosphere of the game. And those rogues are so cute :D Amazing!
Cool game is so funy the mechanic and the graphics are amazing good game
This game is quite perfect, especially for a development time of 72 hours! Graphics are very appealing, physics are fun. And the theme has been realized in an original, fitting way. I'm really amazed what some people can create in such a short time. Really an entry worth playing. I will recommend it.

Sketchiest jump ever! Awesome game i love the outline/pastel shader makes the game feel one piece
Awesome puzzle game! Loved the art style, and the puzzles were challenging and fun to solve. Liked the music too.
Amazing core mechanics, audio, graphics, humor. This entry definitely deserves top marks!
My favorite for now!
Great work! Saw this around on Instagram during the jam, love how it all came together! Sacrifices must always be made in the name of beer!
Best game I've played this LD! No doubt about it. From graphics, through music to gameplay itself, this game is a masterpiece. It doesn't feel like a jam game at all. I bet this will be one of the winners.
Loved every second of it! Nicely done! :clap:
Very polished game. Congratulations. Characters are sweet, i like them
Really nice graphics! They reminded me a bit of Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers! I just wished the game was a bit longer, because I was having a good time and sacrificing the buddies was fun. Also, the limitation of just two buddies alive felt right as a means of balancing the game.
I hope you continue working on it and make a longer game, it has potential!
Wow, level design and artstyle are great, very well done.
superb. love the level design. the artwork. the song. one of the best.
I really loved the art style in this game. The controls and the interactable objects were fantastic. I was hoping for a little bit more beer down there. Amazing game! More levels, please.
Beautiful art and interesting puzzle platforming mechanics! Haven't played anything like this in a game jam before. Great work!
So nice game! :v: Nice mood greate art style, and fun gameplay!
Very impressive - everything was fantastic :)
Wow! The graphics on this game look fantastic. Unfortunately, the right click on my mouse doesn't work, so I'll have to skip this entry for now. Five stars for graphics, humor, and mood though!
The textures are lovely. The shaders are lovely, too. The gameplay is innovative... This game is great! Maybe the best put together game I've played so far.
Wonderful game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/3-5x0DQqrYk
The controls were a little awkward at times and lead to a bit of frustation. However, that aside it was a fantastic game. Graphics were one of the best I've seen and the puzzles were well thought out. Really liked this entry.
Just WOAH. This is the kind of game I could play outside of a jam. Excellent work !
I love the art of this game, I also follow Bodie's work and I think you did an excellent job. The itch.io page is pretty good too :)
Excellent job. Very nice music and really interrestin puzzles
Great game! Funny concept and lovely mechanic. Art is wonderful!
This is GREAT!
Awesome game!
The pool of dead bodies left behind from all my failures was a nice touch haha. Well done! Great game!
Feckin great!
Fekin great game! Puzzles are very well done, and I love the shader used for the characters. Bit of an Irish murder Portal.
I played a lot of LD entries in the last 3 weeks but this is the best one. Straight forward, understandable, well working physics, clever puzzles, fun music. :stars: :stars: :stars: :stars: :stars:
Nice work! Took me a bit to wrap my brain around the gameplay, but once I did I found the puzzles quite enjoyable to work through. The open-ended nature of some of the levels was pretty fun too! Props also for for making a physics game that "just worked" and was fun to work with as opposed to blowing up in any number of inane ways that physics games tend to.
(Thank you for opting out of the Audio category like a good LD citizen! :D)
I beat the game, hand down most polished entry I played during this LD so far, it feels like a professional entry. Every aspect of this game is great, art, music, gameplay, humour. If I have to nitpick and give any criticism, I guess the camera could use some slight tweaking, it was sometimes hard to get a proper angle for a good view to solve some of the stages. Perhaps a freelook or overview mode could be added where the camera isn't locked to the player.
That's one beautiful game. Both fun and challenghing to play. Great combination.
Wow, what a gorgeous game entry! The art style is charming and the graphics are beautiful, the music wonderfully emphasises the humorous mood, the puzzles feel fresh and new. All around excellent!
It is a really interesting game for sure and the graphics are quite enjoyable. The puzzles were good and it made me think a little to be able to solve them. You have a really good learning curve and that's a big plus for this game. Good job and keep up the good work !
Really cool graphics! I love the humoristic setting you went for, specially since the theme is most often used in a more gloomy, gory setting, your game really stand out because of this. The gameplay is simple and fun, well done!
Awesome game! I loved the spirit, the mechanics, the characters, the graphics, the sound, ... cool work!
Great game, lots of fun. What keeps it from 5/5 fun rating for me is the mouse sensitivity as pointed out above and mostly that when one buddy dies and you are switched to another buddy (e.g. already standing on the button) I'd very much prefer that the switch-to buddy will ignore any input for a little while so I won't keep running off the switch into the water, sometimes even before camera is fully adjusted on switch-to buddy. Not sure if it was on purpose, but I think that at least wait for the camera to move would be a large improvement.
I also finished the last level only with two planks each on one side of button pillar because I've thrown both of the tables in the water and couldn't pick them up or move them so they were totally useless for me. But still I was able to finish the level, so I guess you achieved some non-linearity, whether you wanted or not. This is great, I felt really smart when I managed to finish the level even when I wasted both tables :)
Your game is great all around, was really fun (and challenging enough) to play, the graphic style and models were just stunning and animations were full of character (especially that dance at the end!). Really great work!
I loved this game. Thought it was pretty fun and an entertaining idea. The big aspect of it that really set it apart for me from other games like this is that the people stayed holding objects when you switched and would be crushed by the objects if you jumped on them. Other games where you can use multiple people they just tend to be a somehow immovable force once they're locked down, I like that this was a little more 'human'? Got to the end I loved how many levels there were and they were all fun!
It looks like a very fun game but for some reason I wasn't able to move the character at all!
One Concept I Liked: * I liked that the game has good, realistic animations that fit the mood of the game.
One Concept I Disliked: * I disliked the fact that there are no hints or clues to use when stuck in the game. I wish there was a YouTube walkthrough or something to help me when I get stuck.
Great puzzle game! It forced me to think, even it's 2AM here, I was determined to beat it!
A common idea, but the best execution of all I played!
Guys, where is Nick?
He didn't participate to the last jam did he?
Hi @mircea123 I'm sorry but this time I didn't make it. I was completing another game and I didn't want to leave it and launch myself into a Ludum Dare marathon! (https://www.nickzangus.com/trenchrun if you want to take a look of my new game :slight_smile: )
Oh.. Glad you are alive, Sad I didn't get another chicken game.
@mircea123 maybe the next time!
