The game looks amazing and the premise is really fun. Nevertheless I think the controls need a bit more work. Sometimes the player does not jump if his ass is not downwards ( I guess it's intended but it's still a bit frustrating). Also I expected that shooting with my ass would propel me a long distance but most of the time it doesn't. I think this could be a really fun game if the controls worked a bit better. Good job!

The title. Oh man the title. I'll play this later but god this stuck out like crazy. Love it already.

@marc-garcia-penche yeah i didn't have too much time to work on the controls, if you want to go a further distance then you need to hold down "left shift" but if it still was to short then i can easily change that, the jumping could be easily change so that he can jump when he's just touching the ground with any body part. Thanks for the feedback!

fantastic, loved your ass man, did that came out wrong?!
Note unrelated to gameplay, when your controls are keyboard, it is really best if you can navigate the menu with the keyboard too. Especially in a game where you expect the player to die and restart a lot, there is no reason to force the player back to the menu each time. Simply press space to restart would do.
very fun idea and gameplay. I manage to reach lv4, it's kind of hard for me to handle the control in the beginning, after playing awhile it feels good. Time always my enemy to get the final point. Overall it's a nice game, good job.

@timeshapers Thanks for the feedback, i was going to implement restarting by pressing R but completely forgot about it due to time pressure.

@sanyingli it's kind of my fault for not polishing my controls but i'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Sorry, love the presentation, but couldn't manage controls and difficulty. Also, jump button didn't work way too often. But mechanics and idea is fun, just wish the difficulty curve wasn't so steep

@apple-dash the reason for the jump button not working is that the players butt needs to be on the ground but I fixed it in the post jam version. And I'm sorry for difficulty curve, the reason for it is that i just got so used to everything so I thought it was pretty easy.

A bit too hard for me but great game nonetheless! I think I would have enjoyed it more without the timer though.

Scene transition effect is impressive :smile: I liked your game, well done !
I enjoyed this. It was quite challenging. Difficult to time the Shift key, yet I think that was part of the challenge :) Fun!

The premise is very good, and fun. The dashing doesn't respond very well, sometimes seems like you move less than expected, but in overall is funny and very challenging.
Sacrifices must be made. The character sacrificed its self-esteem 😅
This game is one of the best I played for now. There is a fun concept with this controller, everything is smooth and polish. Personally I found this game hard but balanced, you need to retry to succeed.
Nice job !

Mixed feelings about this one. I loved the idea and presentation, but (at least for me) it wasn't very.. intuitive? I guess that's the word. Blasting away was quite hard, it bounced you away a lot vertically but almost nil horizontally. The physics are a bit off. I don't know how to end on a positive note without feeling awkward, so I'll just write this sentence! 😅
Very cool graph, it works very well ! I loved the fart cannon x) simple and polish a.f. for a jam, very cool ! very fun game ! good job !

@nnnikki sorry about the controls, didn't have to much time to work on them, also the physics might feel off beacuse i increased the speed at which the player falls to the ground, but thank you for your feedback!

@plastacier Thank you!

@angelnm the reason for it might be that i had the minimum force too low, i increased it in the post jam update but i'm glad you liked it none the less.

@budgiem2 yeah i should have probably put an option to play without the timer, altough i'm glad you liked it.

@berkin Thank you!

@justwall-games glad you liked it, i didn't focus on the controls too much (can probably be seen) so that's the main reason for the tricky dashing.

Aesthetics/juice are really good! Wish game feel was its own category.
Otherwise I had a really difficult time. Following the fireflies didn't give me much confidence (that path was really perilous). Oh well, I still love Ass Man. Would love to see more.

@hydezeke yeah sorry for the fireflies, I should have used the arrows instead and the fireflies as an background element or to indicate safe spots. But I'm glad you liked it!

presentation is v good, just some design decisions that don't rlly make sense to me, the main controls are keyboard, but then the menu needs to operated by mouse, otherwise the game feels alright to play B^))

Very challenging 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/qbVCRHP5Rcg
Sound effects and music set a really nice mood to this. The choice of few colors made this so beautiful

@astroid sorry, i didn't have enough time to make the menu navigatable with keyboard. Thanks for the feedback!

@jupiter-hadley Thanks for playing the game! sorry for the difficulty, didn't think it was going to be so hard. Guess i got to used to the controls.

@velvetlobster Thank you!
i couldnt jump from time to time.. the controls felt weird, but nice game
The level of polish in this game is really good keep up the good work
Beautiful name, beautiful game. Really nice work on the visuals. I couldn't get to grips with the controls though, and didn't get to experience much consequently. Great job. :grinning:

Wow this was impressive - a really unique idea from my ass :D Cool game.

@domkonecny to jump you need to sit on your ass, but i made it so that you can jump by touching any body part on the ground in the post jam update, Thanks for the feedback!

@owen-rees Thanks!

@haustgeirr Thank you, as i've mentioned before i didn't have much time to work on controls so they turned out kinda bad.

@neowhoru Thank you!
Very funny game! The idea and title made me have a good laugh :) Nice phisics and graphics!
The mechanics of the time slow and the rotation with the ass cannon work great. The graphics and the sound fit well together, but the movement and especially the jumping is nerve wrecking.
The title is a 10 out of 10

@alvar-gamez-zerban Sorry for the jumping, i had it so you can only jump when your butt is on the ground. But in the post jam version you just need to touch with any body part and you can jump.

@arvejeitor Thanks!, i like it too.
One of my favorite Ludum Dare 43 games, this is a jewel!!!!
I really love it, is a beautiful game.
The artwork is really awesome, the sound effects and music are nice! :smiley:
The game concept is pretty cool, nice game! :v:
The way you implement the theme is very creative, awesome! :smiley:

@myfriendtames Thank you!
A really cool game the best I played this Ludum. Super polished, really good graphics and sound. I love this minimalist art style and it is perfect how the UI is so coherent with the rest of the artwork. The puzzles are clever and interesting. I had a lot of fun playing this good job.
Really nice game! looks really well put together :)
I cant help myself laughing even in tutorial. Nice game with good pixle art style and retro music. Really good!
