I'm not sure I would call this a game as there is only one outcome - rather art. It has a great message regardless. It worked well!

Gameplay-wise, there isn't a whole lot going on here. The jump ability is *there*, but it isn't necessary to complete the game - going forwards, try to make it so that the game's mechanics more strongly inform the level design.

I feel like the camera should be repositioned so that you have more time to respond to where the money will be. As this was a Unity build, you might want to give cinemachine a try to achieve this

A much used, but truthful message. But there was so fast movement at the end there that I missed it-- what did he crash into? Either way, a fair effort mate!

Interesting take on the theme, though I feel some music/sound would have enhanced the experience!

A nice simple game, with a deep, relate-able concept. The way you packaged the source code in with the executable was a LD stroke of genius. Am totally going to copy in the future :zap:

@sodaro I want to add music, but i havent got time...

Good game!

I feel like this message could've been conveyed better if the player got to experience it through gameplay, instead of just clicking again and again. Or maybe the point was that it should feel repetitive, but then it doesn't make a very fun experience. Either way, I think you should try making something more gameplay-oriented next time :)

It was the picture of the man that drew me here. The expression pof the man fits the game very well. I did miss sound a bit. For me the running and the expression conveyed the message, and would have been enough but I understand you wanted to put an ending on it.

Fun and interesting little game. The mechanics are easily understandable and lets you slide right into the game. Great job!

Hey, nice entry. It lacks a bit in gameplay and audio but I love the graphics. Great drawing skills! The run animation is pretty funny, you can see the limbs and how you tried to make them round so you would not see that the legs are separate entities. But you actually do see it, I think this is a fun "glitch" :-)

I suppose you did not have enough time to revise the mechanics but this is still a finished entry and that is great. If you cannot make it in 48 hours, cut down on content and that is fine for LD.

Good job and I am looking forward to your next LD entries!

it was nice, sometimes game would pass money without collecting it but it message was nice and graphics too :)

eddensoft 2019-05-06 18:50

@miu Thanks a lot!
