Neat character designs. Like the idea and how you've animated without spriting them.

I like it, it ran really well. I would just recommend some kind of volume option in a small ESC menu. Cheers :)

Nice game like a fast paced guess who where you throw people down a well..

Game looks very nice! Please don't name the file LDjam44.zip, it leads to confusion. Would have been nice to have start and pause menus with quit options rather than the esc to kill, but it's not a huge deal. gameplay was alright. I do like grab and throw mechanics, it would have been cool if there was a little more skill to getting people into the hole, maybe they could break out of your grip and you'd need to regrab them, or the target could be harder to hit. sound was nice, good job.

Love when something runs smooth; solid smoothness!

Great graphics and atmosphere! Loved how simple and charming the gameplay was, good work team!

style art of the game was what pleased me and enough congratulations for the game.

@deathbysnail that made me woah as well :)

I love art style and overlay polish

carlsonandpeeters 2019-04-30 06:28

Best graphics I've seen so far. And I love how the gameplay ties into the art, making it fun to search for the needed character. Only complaint is that sometimes people would walk into the well on their own and I'd take damage which didn't feel fair. But really great stuff!

Very nice graphics, convenient control. Very easy to play ( The theme of the competition is poorly disclosed.

If you understood that music is being fed up. Why not changed? But made a shutdown button. It's weird)

AMAZING graphics!! The instructions were clear, and I had a fun. I think you have a really good jam game here :D

Hahahah! It reminds me of throwing Cuccos on various Zelda games, the npcs actually behave kinda like chickens - I guess it would be a twist to have the player be a chicken :thinking:.

Only issue is suicidal npcs dealing damage to the player when they kill themselves.

Nice pixelated graphics; if they where animated to have a walking effect, aswell as the dust, it would add so much!

dodormeur 2019-04-30 08:00

Nice game, really like the art :)

ryano 2019-04-30 08:29

Bang on theme! Good for a laugh. Nice job.

Great idea! Awesome graphics and music, would be made better if you fixed the suicidal NPCs jumping into the pit and killing the player.

sir-daniev 2019-05-02 01:23

Nice twist on the theme. Loved the art how you made the animations without using sprites. Good game and good job. :)

Cool little game! Took my one failed try to figure out, what to actually do. The art is amazing, looks very polished and professional. The gameplay itself seems very simple, but it's working. Would've been cool if there was something more going on gameplay wise. Picking up the guys was a bit imprecise at times and I had to readjust sometimes and press space again and again. Also, the npc's seemed a bit suicidal ;) They quite often just ran straight into the pit. Poor souls.

pablotitan 2019-05-09 06:02

Did you created all the graphics on your own?? Amazing then! :D And yes, there is no static feel when you added those little movement effects without animations. I like the mechanics too and dislike the AI behavior and sometimes controls, but when polished it could be a great game! ;)

multiplexor 2019-05-18 11:24

Awesome art, the game looks beautifuuul!

The mechanics are also interesting, but sometimes RNG was a bit infuriating (if many spirits appear next to the hole and they just throw themselves in).

Overall a very solid entry! Good Job!
