Very well made, good job guys. I really enjoyed it! :D

This game has forced to sweat on the bosses. Strongly done. To say that humor good is to say nothing.

finn-truman 2019-04-30 12:29

@itsjustjord Hey, Jord! Thanks for playing it, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll be sure to return the gesture later today when I'm home, scratch my back and all that! :smile:

Funny xD

bakenshake 2019-04-30 13:20

This game was really funny and felt like a jab at the millenials (said as a millenial)? I enjoyed the dashing and whatnot, though. It was fun and silly!

kai 2019-04-30 13:25

@bakenshake Thank you! It was more of a jab at pretentiuos rich kids than millenials, we wouldn't throw ourselves under the bus. XD The important thing is that it was fun!

victorcrafty 2019-04-30 16:38

Cool game. And pretty funny.Liked it

nate-prince 2019-04-30 17:34

i couldnt stop playing it bosses are fun and hard to you master them. the tutorial level reminded me of cuphead lol. you could of took it in a puzzle platformer and made the jump and dash cost money and you have limited cash to spen each leval. but its one of the best i have played so far

kai 2019-04-30 18:11

@nate-prince Thank you!

jofersgames 2019-04-30 19:38

Fun game :)

refraction 2019-04-30 20:13

Good effort dude, I really liked the personal touch of the getting hurt sounds and the personally recorded music (But dude, tune your guitar xD). Excellent use of the theme and very humorous! The character felt a little floaty and the game was quite easy until you get to the bit where there's 3 guys shooting at you, I was just screwed every time.

Good effort :)

evil-as-shit 2019-04-30 20:15

Great job, smooth gameplay with lots of humor. Awesome job on the voice acting!

kai 2019-04-30 20:21

@evil-as-shit Awww, shucks! Thank you! I'm both cheap AND shameless!

finn-truman 2019-04-30 20:22

@refraction Thanks for the feedback!

But, 3 guys shooting at you? You mean the pit of prefects at the start of the game? I hope you made it past that or you've only seen a quarter of the game! You wouldn't have fought the first boss either!

kai 2019-04-30 20:22

@refraction Sorry about the Uke not being tuned. My hearing isn't so great!

refraction 2019-04-30 20:26

@kai oh a Uke! Sorry for my ignorance there lol. And no worries dude, you did a great job!

refraction 2019-04-30 20:27

@finn-truman I didn't :( I really suck at the game haha, I didn't rate you down on my inability to play tho xD

finn-truman 2019-04-30 20:28

@refraction Duuuuude! Just jump over and dash past them! You neeeeed to see the first boss at least! The bosses are where the effort went!

kai 2019-04-30 20:36

@refraction If the levels themselves aren't for you, Boss Rush takes out the in-between parts completely.

refraction 2019-04-30 20:53

Alright, I'll give it another shot :P

boxedmeatrevolution 2019-04-30 20:57

The Naruto boss "special ability" made me laugh. This game really hits the mark with humour! I thought it was well written and the voice acting was consistently funny. As for gameplay, it was fairly simple, but felt good. I liked how you could "arc" the money, and the controls were responsive. Overall it felt polished, creative, and well put-together! I enjoyed it through and through, right to the credits!

finn-truman 2019-04-30 21:01

@boxedmeatrevolution You played through to the end?! That's awesome! We don't know of anyone else here that's done that! Thanks dude!

matthew-mcclure 2019-04-30 21:02

Pretty cool game! The graphics and story were great, and good idea on the boss rush mode.

refraction 2019-04-30 21:04

@finn-truman alright I played again and got to the second boss this time who nuked me as he ran across the screen lol :P Pretty cool little game, that pit with the 3 dudes in is definitely a beginners trap!

kai 2019-04-30 21:05

@boxedmeatrevolution Thank you! I really enjoyed your game, too! I had a LOT of fun recording and editing the "WOTOTO".

kai 2019-04-30 21:07

@refraction Boss Sasky will Naruto run you to the ground. He's certainly a difficulty spike.

raffe 2019-04-30 21:20

YOOOOO This was a hilarious game! The humor might offend someone, BUT I LOVED IT. Also the cut scenes and bossbatless felt really good and EPIC. Movement and animations and shooting also felt very nice. I don't know how you managed to pull a game like this out in this time limit! Such a good job on every aspect. Best ratings that I've given so far!!

kai 2019-04-30 21:43

@raffe Right? Finn really did a fantastic job programming all my rubbish into the game! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and yes, it might be offensive to some. I hate writing safe dialogue, it isn't as funny. XD

cozmic 2019-04-30 21:51

Pretty funny indeed, like others already said. I would've liked an info to press space durcing dialogs, not that it's really needed, but it would be a nice info

stanislau 2019-04-30 21:54

Really cool!

peppsen 2019-04-30 22:32

Even though this game was amazing considering the time you had, I'll give you some honest feedback. Keep in mind that some stuff is just my opinion and I'm quite critical.

Controls were great and core gameplay aswell, I really enjoyed the shooting mechanic. Enemies were quite dull and I ignored the ones I could, I would have liked the parts before bosses to be more focused on jumping and dashing. The dialogue scenes didn't look as good as the rest of the game. In my honest opinion, I would have enjoyed the game more without dialogue. The first two bosses were really great. It took awhile for me to finish the last boss though, so long that the gameplay went from fun to quite frustrating. Maybe you could have added a checkpoint after the first part of the last boss or maybe you wanted it to be hard, I just don't like hard games. The sound was quite funny at times and I liked the music for the second boss, otherwise the sound and music could have used some polish. Sad to see that some parts were without music, like the tutorial, it could have used some music. But considering the workload you had, I understand that you didn't really have time for that.

Overall it's quite a good game, with some polish I'd play it again!

valid 2019-04-30 23:56

That is a fun game! During those boss battle I was definitely having to put some work in. The cutscenes good and the humour was enjoyable. Im shocked at how much was packed in with all the little time.

petsanah 2019-05-01 00:01

Fun game :smiley: Check out ours https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XFSbhKocyvwqDW0tOq1j41F7w9XhiHjo

zesix 2019-05-01 06:12

Really fun game. Had to play it a couple times to get a feel for the last boss, so the sudden spike in the difficulty felt out of place. Otherwise though, great entry!

finn-truman 2019-05-01 10:08

@cozmic @stanislau @valid @petsanah @zesix Thank you for playing the game! These were fun comments to start the morning with!

finn-truman 2019-05-01 10:11

@peppsen I really appreciate you taking the time to leave just honest feedback! Comments like this one are the best!

I definitely agree with you that enemies are dull, and we knew this when we submitted it. But most of the effort went towards the bosses themselves, and we think this was for the better. Though I am a fan of the alley level because of how it looks and how it twists on itself.

I'm sorry you didn't like the dialogue. We were honestly very pleased with it. The tutorial is lacking, but it was a last minute effort, and I forgot to mention how dialogue worked. I was also meant to allow you to skip dialogue by holding Ctrl, but forgot that too.

The last boss is difficult on purpose. We think he's tough, but fair.

max-torn 2019-05-01 12:45

Interesting game. Everything went, but a dubious decision with graphics. In general, all like it, well done

poffle 2019-05-01 17:20

Nice little game! Graphics were simple but plenty of variation. The bosses were fun and it was just fun to spray money around. Cutscenes were pretty funny too! Great work guys!

spiffy 2019-05-01 17:24

Loved it. Best part is making it rain!

riddhee-dutta 2019-05-01 17:37

Nice story nice concept and indeed a great game.

kai 2019-05-01 17:45

@poffle @spiffy @riddhee-dutta Thank you for the kind words! It really means a lot to both of us and we're glad you enjoyed what we managed to make!

mamoniem 2019-05-01 18:19

Funny game.

I assume the dash sound effect is actually you performing it, right?

-m

finn-truman 2019-05-01 18:21

@mamoniem Glad you enjoyed it! Yep, all music and sounds are original!

kai 2019-05-01 21:51

@mamoniem Yep! I'm the sound effects guy! The Professors earthquake sound was also me.

quasar47 2019-05-02 18:48

Nice game, it was realy funny to read the dialogues x) I had a bit of trouble adjusting to the controls though, snce they're only adapted for the right-handed. Hence, I had a lot of trouble getting past simple paltform sections at the beginning. I really like the art style, and I'm impressed to see you implemented a dialogue system, given the time we had for the jam. Nice job guys ;)

spirits 2019-05-04 19:20

I enjoyed the game, well done!.. The second boss was the best one, in terms of difficulty and coolness. :thumbsup:

miltonnh25 2019-05-04 23:01

Great job one the game. It was pretty funny and I really loved the sound effects for everything. I felt like the boss fights were the highlight of the game especially the last one. During the first level it was a bit difficult to see some of the bullets with the yellow on top of tan and it would have been nice if there was also some visual feedback when an enemy got hit in addition to the audio. Overall a very funny and well put together game.

finn-truman 2019-05-05 07:19

@miltonnh25 Thanks for playing the game, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I agree that the bullets are a little hard to see at times, but our focus was mostly on the boss fights, so that slipped the polishing stage.

erikkire 2019-05-06 17:55

Haha, very funny! Graphics, sound and gameplay are all good. Just lacks some overall polishing from being perfect I guess. The boss battles are great but the levels are a bit simple maybe. However, the humor is what is best with this game, looking forward to your LD45 submission!
