Really fun, despite my low level of English
Nice work, the style is very nice and the theme is in, did you made the music ? I will probably come back later to try all possibility.
Nice job all !
Best entry so far. GJ.
I absolutely loved it! Beautiful game, beautiful idea. You've done brilliantly!
This game is great! Everything about it is great the start cutscene, the art, the relaxing music and especially the humor.
Hey ! i really enjoy playing your game. That was really fun. I lost i'm so sad ! But never mind. This was cool. I think you know but there was some bugs when you have to click. When you selected a text, sometimes you broke the window and you don't want it (idk if it's normal) and when you click on the bell, it don't work. I clicked many times but nothing XD !
Great game! I really like the concept of a low level demon send to harvest souls and the art is beautiful! I failed a the 5th guy ;(
Daaaaaamn, best game so far ! Such an adventure time mood ! Love it ! Cheers !
BEST GAME ! I Loved the art style !
The scope of this game is super impressive. The amount and quality of art and writing is unparalleled. And a very clever, unique idea in a sea of uninspired action games. Excellent job!
Very nice graphics, Fun idea ! well done !
I feel bad for the grandpa ashes now! So cool! Much graphics! Very wow! Bien joué à toute l'équipe
Wow this game is so cute at every levels. drawings are amazings, music and sounds are nice. Narrative games aren't my kind, but I liked this one. BUT PLEASE, MAKE THEM ANGRY FOR RINGING DURING AN HOUR (or maybe I didn't ring enough?) Congrats, it's far from the best i saw today !
One of the funniest game here and elsewhere ! nice work and nice questions !
Very nice art and music! I never seemed to disturb people breaking their windows while talking to them haha.
@cyriaque yes, the music was made by our friend camille (@illustrason on twitter) :) that's a real flute and guitar, almost no vst here.
Super fun, the art is beautiful and fluid! Stunning work, wow 5/5
Super Fun to play....
Haha super fun and polished ! Music is awesome and graphics too ! Just 2 things : - Let the player skip the intro if he want to restart the game - I got this bug when restarting : restart.png It seems that the scene does not restart correctly.
Overall super nice entry, good job guys !
@antoined73 Oopsie, thanks for the feedback. Yeah we didn't have the time to implement the "skip the intro". It was intended, but we ran out of time. The assets for two more characters were also ready.
Fantastic! I especially like the graphics and sound. Had a bit of a problem selecting different contracts. Great job overall!
its very cute but porlem sovleings a bit hard when doing thses kinds of puzzles it might help to hight inportent dialogue to help push the logic along other then that its its nice
This was a lot of fun! The door opening and closing is a really clever way of showing the people's reactions to what you say and your overall progress with a person and created a lot of tense moments for me where I knew: If I screw up now, it's over. I also liked how each of the clients had a different way of revealing what their desires were. The grandma that secretly wanted to dominate the world was definitely a highlight! :D
Nicely done! Art style and music stand out, it fits the theme well. Nice experience overall, thank you!
Hilarious, beautiful and with surprisingly amount of dialogue and options. And the intro is just amazing. Absolutely love the long scroll of salesmen with you at the bottom :D Failed pretty spectacularly so trying again now. Oh, and I lost my mouse cursor after restart, seems to be a bug.
Poor demon, never seemed to be able to push the door bell! :D Great into!! Nice idea and I really loved the dialogues and the way of how you showed how people felt about the demon – facial expression, doors closing and opening, ... Nice design! Agree with contract selection being a bit clumsy and somehow, I couldn't escape the fullscreen on my mac. Overall, I had a lot of fun playing this game. Great job guys, I'm happy!
Love the adventure timey style artwork, the chill music, the snazzy intro! Nice mechanic with the door opening as well. I think the UI could be a bit more refined as I feel that trying to select the right contracts was a bit challenging. The dialogue seemed to be a bit mixed up as well (eg for the kid I asked him about games but he seemed to think I was asking if he'd be interested in more money). Great fun though.
@thesunshineraven Thank you for your feedback. About that doorbell issue, are you using firefox ? someone already told me about it but i can't seem to reproduce. Cheers.
@tbaudon I'm using Safari on a Mac. I always had to break something, either a plant or a window to get people out. but it was kind of funny this way and I thought it might be intentional :) I didn't mind it that much
This game is awesome :) Wish it was made into an actual game, I would pay money to play this. I just wish there were more things to interact with, but given the time constraint, I get why there aren't more. Artwork is awesome, music is really pleasing too. Might just be my fave from LD44 :)
Funny art, funny dialogues)
This game is super lovely and really nice! Didn't think it was possible to make a super good game with the theme of this jam but you guys totally did it! Indeed a bit sad I am not able to restart the game properly or skip the intro but it is understandable to have some flaws in the game when you have so little time. :smile_cat:
The graphics are amazing, I wish there were more people to take their soul, it fell too short :(
I got fired but it was very fun! The characters seemed quite interesting. Some of them were hard to read but with some more focus definitely solvable. I liked that there was two way mechanic, first get to know them and open the door then you can guess what they want. The art is also nice, simple and fitting the story. I especially liked the boss and there was some nice humor too!
Very funny game ( XD I love the references on the list in the cutscene XD ) ! I love the narration and the music is awesome ! Amazing job ! :clap:
wow i really love the art style of this game its very cute! such a cool concept, id love to see a bigger version of this game some day.
Fantastic! Even though I was fired!
I finally beat the game after 3 tries, so much polish, just awesome !
I love the cut scene animations, great job!
Wow, amazing graphs here. Your game just look georgous and gg fo the polish of it. Well done !
the idea was enough to sell me (haha get it) but to top it off the selling mechanic, writing, art, and music tied everything together perfectly! i think this is one of my favorites, good job!
Very good entry. My initial playthrough I got a bug where it split the screen in half so everything was getting cut off so it was hard to play. I also got the blue screen issue that the user above showed. The game was unforgiving, you couldn't even get one wrong to win and am still working to win, but the interactions are funny, the artwork is great, and enjoyed the music.
Oh my gosh I love the theme music in this game. I found my self humming it along. Seriously there is so much charm packed into this cute little game. And the intro animation and title screen are superb quality. Looks like that of a full title release.
I totally failed with my first customer and I think there was a slight bug where when I picked choices for dialogue I could accidentally break the window haha, but it was easy to work around.
Thank you for making me laugh and have a really enjoyable play through.
Really great mood and aesthetics.
Okay, but the fact that Michael Scarn (Threat Level Midnight?) was on that list made my day. The animations and voice acting of this were hysterical and fun. It fits the theme perfectly, in my opinion, and was fun to play. I did have some issues clicking the right option in a couple of instances, but that was the only thing I noticed. Great job here. Would love to see more polish and more interactive options. Maybe some proc gen responses or people?
Ooo, I was writing this as I was going to restart (I failed first time), and I also go the blue screen bug the previous commenter mentioned. Also yes, an option to skip the intro would be delightful.
The character design in this was great. Liked going further and seeing each new door open and seeing who was behind it. Good use of the theme and the written was really well done in adding humour.
Pretty cool... loved the soundtrack, fun to play. I too would have liked to skip the intro, also I found I couldn't click to start the game on the second run through, I had to reload.
loved this game
Really great entry, guys. This is so polished, it's remarkable. Love the music and art. And the humor element is absolutely there. Excellent excellent work!!
I had a bug with yellow stripe. It disappeared by refreshing the page
Man, what a charming entry! Loved the audio, theme and character animations. I did find I was able to advance with the same dialogue multiple times, which seems like a bug with your dialogue tree, but otherwise I absolutely loved it.
Lovely game, maybe it can be a bit more forgiving. I got quite a few right, but getting all five right is a bit too hard.
Awesome graphics, the art style remembers me of some cartoon netwoork animations like adventure time...
The UI/UX is also delightful, i can feel the feelinig of scrolling through contracts and folders, and smashing the bell door is fucking juicy and amazing...
You could add more ambience sounds and some changes, like unique ambience sound comming from inside the house, muffled by the door with maybe some funny subtittles and onde you see the character oppening and closing the door you can hear it's sound constantly muffling as a feedback of your progress in the dialogue ....
Since you have some time before you get fired, you could add some kind of day/night cycle to give a clue to the user of the timespam before being fired ...
The ambience sfx of the main menu have some fire sparks and i think that would be nice to add some particles to the intro menuu and enhance the sfx ...
Great game!
I love love looooove the personality of this!
Each of the character designs are all unique and fun to interact with, it was always a nice surprise to see who would open the door next. :) I also like how there were different way to get the person to come to the door. Either by knocking, ringing the door bell, or just breaking the freakin' window. xD
The gameplay itself was also really clever, although most times it just turned into a guessing game as to whether or not the person at the door would take it well. It would also have been nice if there was an immediate "offer deal" option once you discovered the person's wish. Then you could avoid repeating a bunch of known "safe" dialogue options while waiting around for the final deal offer.
Other than that, I love how polished this is, and how absolutely delightful it is to interact with. Awesome job!!
It's obvious a tight team cooperated on this. Extra kudos to whoever was in charge of.. uh.. being in charge.. or facilitating the creative process.. or whatever you kids call it these days.
A great production! Felt a bit harsh at times when first coming to a door, as if you mess up the question they just close the door with no way to correct it, felt a bit cheap in a game that's otherwise rather linear. The selection of contract was also odd, accidentally took the wrong one as it switched at the last second. Other then that, the game shines with personality, the arm/poke interaction is awesome and brings again a great feel to the character your playing. Great work!
Je viens de capter que t'avais participé ! Vous allez tout défoncer avec ce jeu, bien joué :)
This game is soo good! I love the bossa nova music. It's so pleasant and fits the mood so well.
It's also a fun premise and there's all these little details that really make the game stand out. Incredible job!
Love your entry. Graphics mood and humor nothing to say more that I have lot of fun with it. Keep it up team!
I tried it really hard, but i got fired anyway, and this was okay, because it was so much fun :'D
What a complete delight, such a hilarious pleasure at every turn. I am an indie dev/writer, but first and foremost I work as an actor/voice actor and do voice direction and casting as well. If you're interested in having voice be a part of this project or future ones, please get in touch. You can listen to my demo reel here.
