Funny voiceovers. Also controls are hard to get.
@jiri-hysek Thanks, we wanted to make it as humorous as we liked it :) And in my opinion, it is better, when the game has a good specific humour, than average humour for all. We hope there wouldn't be much haters =D
@Anonymous Thanks, voiceovers are really important aspect of our game. To the controls, we wanted to make the game harder than a simple snake, so we hope we were succesful :)
Really interesting game. Looks great. I think the fact that the "head" of the "snake" is on the wrist makes it hard to get right. You can make games hard, but it's better if the difficulty is challenging, rather than annoying.
Best crime story ) Gameplay + voice = fun+succes
very entertaining game :D voices are good
Had much fun playing this game. You maybe could have added a shop to level up some skills. (Timer, Speed, etc.)
@gastricsparrow Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry that it annoys you, it had to be just unusual movement :) And in fact, I still think that the stretching hand would be moving exactly as we implemented =D
@quagga Thanks, we hoped that this equation would work :)
@syudzius Thanks. In my opinion, voices make up more than 60 % of the fun in the game :)
@jorbits Of course, it would be great :) At least buying more time for the timer. However, would be more speed of your hand a positive or negative? =D
I love this game so much - and not just because I am voicing one of the passersby in the game :P Seriously, I love the game mechanics, the art, the idea, it's visuals and everything else. Great work!
Awesome game! Idea, gameplay, sounds and art - all is perfect! But I don't think that fits the theme. Anyway I really enjoyed. I was in Praga for 1 week some time ago and I was happy to have this "Praga taste"! Thank you for this game
@tamail Thanks, we tried our best :)
@evgeniya-zapolnova Thanks, I'm glad we resembled your memories :) Well, to the theme, at least in czech language we say that "your life is something", if you live for it, if it's your goal, etc. And our phantom lives for collecting foreign currencies :)
Very interesting interpretation of 'life is currency'. Especially when its not about the amount, but the types of currencies that the phantom is interested in. It shows his addiction to currency. Brilliant! Also the voice overs and background sound puts the player in Paris. There is a thrill in rolling back your hand before time runs out. There is great potential in this game. Good job.
I like the very bendy arm; it's funny. I found it hard to steer though, because the pivot point seems to be pretty far behind the hand. I also had junk items appear right in front of the hand a lot.
Fun idea though. This could be engaging if expanded upon further.
@iceflakeftw Thanks! By the way, not Paris but Prague =D Yes, the thrill in rolling back your hand was for us an important gameplay feature :)
Interesting game with some well implemented mechanics. The need to balance the risk of "just one more" with the rollback timing adds to the gameplay. I found the game overall fun - even enough for me to keep going until I won.
Well done!
Hey, great game, really funny! :-)
I love the snake-like main character, this is hillarious :-) I wonder why nobody suspects him to be the thief...
I especially love the improvised background city noise. Nice touch and I always love when you see programmer art like that.
The graphics are really cute and funny as well. Prague looks cool, I remember seeing your initial background post. That was why I followed you initially and your game turned out great!
Overall a very good entry, keep up the good word, I am looking forward to your next LDs!
@ransom Thanks for the feedback :) We know about all these things since they were intended.
@weine Thanks and congrats for winning :) Yes, I also like the risk of "just one more" =D
@gonutz Thanks for your positive feedback a lot :)
This is pretty great! I really like the sounds and the gameplay, not being able to see what is in the pocket unless you are close enough is a great idea. However, the control of the snake hand is a bit awkward, since the corners are made on the wrist and not on the end of the hand. In general the personality of this game is huge, very good work on that!
