Amazing and cute game!

andidebob 2019-04-29 08:33

What a super cute game with a really cool idea and well rounded mechanics! Apparently my life is worth 75 likes, whatever that means :D

zubspace 2019-04-29 08:49

Very charming and funny idea! The pixel art is top-notch. I'll post all those selfies on my instagram for sure!

sodaro 2019-04-29 09:47

Love the artstyle and the story sorta reminded me of the movie Ingrid Goes West! The game was rather hard, I struggled with walking up to the dangers without walking into them :smile: Anyways, good job!

dodormeur 2019-04-29 09:53

Nice game ! The pixel art is really gorgeous, and the game have a really nice "feel" to it ! It is a bit too hard for me, but even though I had fun playing it, and viewing all the beautiful selfies with the different faces is really cool :D

edj99 2019-04-29 10:01

Cute little game. I really enjoyed it! The art style was really polished and nice, and combined with the music created the perfect relaxed, fun, innocent atmosphere. Taking pictures with all the animals felt quite wholesome, despite the animals trying to kill you.

corny 2019-04-29 10:34

My life was worth 44 likes. But at least I snagged a wicked sweet selfie with a spider!

The game was a lot of fun, I laughed about 50% of my total playtime! The idea was great, the graphics were great, the music fit the tone... What's not to lov-- LIKE about this one?

morg 2019-04-29 10:57

I'm really impressed by the fresh take on the theme :) It was pretty genius. The game was fun, although it was a bit hard to walk up to enemies and snap selfies with them without getting hit.

dick-claus 2019-04-29 10:58

That's very funny game, you can play it multiple times as the objects change. Really like the art style and idea :)

saladon 2019-04-29 11:05

Such a great way to use the theme :D very fun to play!

theviraldragon 2019-04-29 11:51

Wow. What a great game. The spider reminded me of adventure island.

synedraacus 2019-04-29 12:01

I really like it. Mechanics, sounds, theme fit, all just really works together. And it's in Flash, so the game must run on a toaster.

izaacs 2019-04-29 12:39

Cool. At first I was upset that this is just a platformer. But then I took a selfie. Wonderful thing, I really enjoyed taking the pictures. I like it :)

liauj 2019-04-29 14:20

Although trying to take a selfie with the bugs and animals was asking to be slapped, I always went for it anyway haha. Nice game!

pwroff 2019-04-29 15:06

I really really like the idea of the game. The visual style is pretty cool, too!

xcvzxc 2019-04-29 15:18

Fun game! I scored 117 Screenshot_2.png

shakierheart53 2019-04-29 15:27

Great game. Had a great concept and great execution. Loved the art style, it was so good. And the music just fit the vibe of the game perfectly. Thanks for making this :)

aaron96 2019-04-29 16:08

Cool game, the selfie mechanic is really unique :)

von-vista 2019-04-29 16:33

Very very cute! The first time a saw a selfie mechanic in LD44, also a good twist to the concept of life is currency. Good graphics and sprites in this one, also could use a bit of variation in the music. But overall, great execution and smooth game. Congratulations!

kiddy 2019-04-29 16:54

Life for like.PNG I really love your game.

emmy 2019-04-29 17:56

I love the art style and gameplay. Adorable!! It was hard to get the selfie without getting bit. I'm impressed with @kiddy's score! Wow!!

notb 2019-04-29 17:57

The art is SO good! Wow! I love the black kitty!!! :) great job!!!

glibjibb 2019-04-29 18:09

Really like the art and platforming, but some enemies are nearly impossible to dodge. Really cool concept with the selfies!

youpeoples 2019-04-29 18:20

This is a really cute game! I've never seen any mechanic like the selfie camera. Do more of this :)

sillyman987 2019-04-29 18:20

LOVE IT!!!

jeroenpx 2019-04-29 19:42

Super refreshing concept! Perfectly fits the theme!

gwinnell 2019-04-29 20:41

Cats and dogs are a lot friendlier in real life...! Unique mechanic, platforming well implemented and nice all round. Good work!

exploma 2019-04-29 21:36

37 LIKES!!! :smile: great game, it's hard to take selfie with cats and dogs

rossng 2019-04-29 22:03

Glad to see that someone else had a similar idea to us! Really nice implementation and stylish art.

akshay-b 2019-04-29 22:55

Cute game! It was fun to figure out how to minimize risk to maximize likes with the selfie targets. The rabbit in the bush made me literally LOL. Nice work!

victorcrafty 2019-04-30 05:48

Cool game. I love it. The graphics are cute and sounds are not annoying. I'm not sure who wants to take selfies with spiders but anyway it was funny to play it. Well don!

furtive-pygmy 2019-04-30 07:18

The art is great and I loved the gameplay. The take on the theme is good relevant! I would have liked a volume slider, but that's because I play with headphones :p

cem-adiloglu 2019-04-30 13:32

love the theme idea very creative

hechi 2019-04-30 17:25

Nice one! graphics are cute and the concept is really ingenious.

thomas-bringer 2019-04-30 17:30

I loved this game! Your interpretation of the theme is very unique, and the selfie mechanic is great. Had a lot of fun trying to get a selfie with the rabbit haha (: Reminds me of people going at the edge of hazardous cliffs to get the best selfie, your game delivers a nice message. Also I like the 8-bit style, both in graphics and sounds. The different animal enemies kept me interested - found a flying dog on level 2 though (: Overall a great game, congrats! :D

ryan-brenner 2019-04-30 17:35

Really clever concept that is executed very well. Great pixel art and music. Scoring seemed a little inconsistent, but the gameplay made up for it. Awesome job!

nico-fallosch 2019-04-30 17:43

Funy game i really like this conept Only the music is getting a bit enoying haha xD dudidudidudideee dudidudidudiduuuu xD

fm-studio 2019-04-30 18:22

@game-mon Thanks a lot for your feedback. Ouch, I missed that bug on level 2, anyway, a selfie with a flying dog should be worth so many likes 😆

@nico-fallosch Yes, your are totally right. This is the first time I make music on my own. I tried to do my best and this is the result: boring, obsessive and repetitive dudidudidudiduuuu... sorry :smiley:

anstabo 2019-04-30 19:28

Remember kids, selfies can take lives

jesusache 2019-04-30 21:23

This game brought a gigantic smile to my face, haha. Great idea, and fantastic execution. The moment I realized the photos were created dynamically I fell in love with. I personally liked the music :p

oivin-f 2019-04-30 22:30

Entertaining game with an interesting concept. I feel the variety could have been a little bigger, or maybe give more special unique things to hunt that perfect selfie with. Was killed by a levitating dog. Great job finishing! Feels pretty well-rounded and polished

luma 2019-04-30 23:24

i really like your bright and pixel style!! i believe its loosly tied to the them but you do you. the game was great!

bar 2019-05-01 00:36

Pretty interesting take on Pokémon Snap. Well executed overall.

jamesolivermusic 2019-05-01 08:21

Killed by a chicken! Nice work. The music could do with some variation, but fit the graphic style very well. Great job!

jofersgames 2019-05-01 13:38

lovely idea :) great job :)

julienlussiez 2019-05-01 14:31

Nice concept to risk is life for likes. It fits pretty well the theme. I liked the art style. I like the idea to explore the level to make as much a selfies as possible.

firellon 2019-05-01 15:04

The idea is lovely!

The world of your game is the world of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hide

https://extralifereviews.com/2017/01/01/dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde/

Everything wants to kill me for some reason :(

Otherwise, the best satyre on the modern world I've seen on LD so far, keep it up!

daniel-moreno 2019-05-02 07:32

Great and clever idea! This fits the theme perfectly. I like the graphics too, but maybe, they are too saturated, everything looks so vibrant and it could use some contrast. Good job, overall, I had real fun!

jin9310 2019-05-02 11:06

Truly nice idea and combination with the theme! Also I find the message behind as a big true nowadays and for younger generations it might be even bigger truth than we can imagine! Great job!! Love it

persegan 2019-05-03 11:00

Very interesting implementation of the theme, I liked how you had to manage a risk / reward factor in order to get the highest score

miltage 2019-05-03 12:37

Is this game set in Australia? Why is everything trying to kill me? Even the chicken?! Also that rabbit is terrifying. Looks like a dude in a rabbit suit hiding in the bushes.

Thank you for this commentary on the state of our vacuous "like" culture. Graphics, art direction and platforming mechanics were all cohesive and made for a pleasant gaming experience.

ithildin 2019-05-03 19:10

Brilliant take on the theme, with great graphics and catchy music!

One detail I really liked how often you had to risk your life foolishly to take a picture as opposed to standing by a flower, a good bit of commentary.

Congrats, you've nailed it!

tricky-fat-cat 2019-05-04 13:51

Amazing idea and realisation, very unusual view at the theme. Well done!

johnnysix 2019-05-06 12:49

This was super fun. Great job for 48h. Great concept too. Hilarious that every animal attacks you, even the chicken. I managed to find the meaning of life.

ld44db21.png

Bonus points for grahpics, particularly the pixel art duck face. :smiley:

mika-la-grand 2019-05-08 19:54

Innovative concept, but pretty difficult. I wasn't a fan of the music, but I could mute it so that was nice.

microwerx 2019-05-09 06:05

I enjoyed this entry. This was a nice social commentary on Facebook. I liked the graphics and it went fine with the music. One of the most polished LD games I've seen this go around. Great job!

joe-bustamante 2019-05-10 20:10

Ha, this was pretty cool! I thought the concept was interesting and a cool take on the theme. The graphics here are awesome, and the dynamic selfies really gave the game some life. I was pretty impressed by that! The music/sound effects were good, but I found myself muting the game after a few minutes just because it was a bit much. The actual mechanics of the game worked pretty well though - I like the risk/reward of trying to get selfies with enemies (I guess they're just animals haha, but here they're enemies). Overall, this was pretty fun. I'm definitely a fan, well done!

randomhuman 2019-05-15 20:07

Fun game, great concept. I like the challenge of trying to get as close to the enemies as possible wihout getting hit, it is certainly a unique challenge. Music and art are both really great, they have a lot of energy.
