It was fun. The art approach is really nice.​

sageware 2019-10-08 01:59

haha! You start with no clothes. That is genius. Very nice graphics, especially the backgrounds. Loved the item pickups. Great sound. Played through all three levels, nice balance of difficulty as you progress.

flashviper 2019-10-08 02:05

Very smart game. Needs more fighting moves.

soyrandom 2019-10-08 02:06

great game, nice art style. There is a couple of bugs: pants and radio don't restart after game finished neither the health bar

nithin 2019-10-08 02:13

I liked the idea and the art. I didn't really understand why the monkeys needed a fallback animation for so long but it was fun

bainerd 2019-10-08 02:13

Art was nice, could use some additional animations. Good entry!

jason-porritt 2019-10-08 02:14

Really liked the art style. Unfortunately, I repeatedly got stuck on or between monkeys and couldn't jump or attack. Really good interpretation of the theme and I could see this going much further with more time.

sgalasso 2019-10-08 02:26

The designs are just great, nice game ! Good job :) A bit two short

slimabob 2019-10-08 03:53

Loved everything about this game. The art was charming, the story was funny, and the music had some real bangers \m/

Short and sweet. Good job everyone!

lauryn 2019-10-08 05:13

The animations were awesome, I love how you unlocked punching by getting pants. Good job :)

vsquitiro 2019-10-08 05:18

Ah, this was really fun! Was thinking, oh it's so satisfying having pants, but then I got the BOOMBOX! The music was already great but then it really amped up!

drgrognak 2019-10-08 05:25

This game has great style! Loved the graphics and the quips, but did wish for a better fighting system.

zenpj 2019-10-08 05:35

Short, but super polished! Nice work!

corentin-benoit-gonin 2019-10-08 05:38

The game itself may be a bit stiff but I loved the art style!

vaibho 2019-10-08 05:52

A Short Game but with awesome graphics and sound ! Nice Work, liked it.

fireslash 2019-10-08 07:16

Art and music were lovely!

The combat felt lacking in depth and mechanically slow, but I didn't hit any unexpected bugs and was able to clear the game without incident.

scalliondelight 2019-10-09 08:34

@soyrandom thanks for pointing that out. i've fixed it along with a couple other bug fixes.

pleyad 2019-10-09 09:06

Nice Game! Cool Concept, Art and Music! What would've been nice is a fighting system with a little more variety, maybe something like a dodge/block/charge attack. But these features would've probably been implemented if there was more time, so great job! :D

dani-riwez 2019-10-09 09:19

Loved the artstyle! I wish the combat was faster and a bit more fluid but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

nocity 2019-10-09 09:37

Good looks! :eye: :eye: I like the progression. Fighting feels weird at first because of the long recovery time on enemies but it makes sense once you try to learn the timing and juggle two enemies that surround you. Collecting the radio made for a rewarding moment. I like this short fighting game! :smiley:

gamejuv 2019-10-09 09:41

The combination between music and gameplay is awesome. I like the art and the idea in general!

denissobolev 2019-10-09 20:37

So bored. Fighting with one button? No way!

changemewtf 2019-10-09 20:47

This game FLOWS. The music is spunky and silly, there's just a dash of dialogue to help set the mood. Combat is a bit of a spamfest, but the animations are distinctive, and I want to help this Luchaboar get the rest of his stuff back!

ladypossum 2019-10-09 22:08

love the art style, reminds me of old 90s click adventure games like spy fox :D

tiptoe 2019-10-09 23:15

Nice art style and music! Gameplay could be more rich.

cdunham 2019-10-10 00:45

Cool game, though the gameplay could be improved if there was more than just the one attack you could do. If there were more clothes you could get that added even more to the gameplay that'd be even better!

kellmen 2019-10-10 03:58

Enjoyed the graphics, the humor and the bumpin' music after I got my stereo back! Good start to what could be a fun little side scrolling fighter with some more abilities and progression.

paulhocker 2019-10-10 04:09

it was great when the stereo was picked up -- rockin -- thanks for making this game

smitto 2019-10-10 04:34

Really liked the art style here, I don't see this kind of late 90s cartoon aesthetic in games very often. Liked that the boombox remixed the song, and the boss monkey was an absolute baller. I think tweaking the knockback for enemies so they're not stunned for quite as long would do a lot to improve the flow of the combat. Great work!

zmvl 2019-10-10 10:12

Liked artstyle After i jumped over violet monkey my attack button stopped working, so i jumped over to the boss screen, then been beated up with no able to hit him

paulsams 2019-10-10 10:17

Well, it looks cool. The idea itself is of course delusional (it’s not bad, but I didn’t really like something, but the topic is not forgotten and there is a little humor) and the combat system is not very clear, and this iron sound when you kill someone (?) is not very suit. But I think that in the future you and the team will be able to make better games). Good luck to you! And yes, forgive my team member, I really think that he’s not on purpose.

oakwarrior 2019-10-10 10:25

Nice! I liked the art, the sound was very cool too (music is nice). Has some really low-brow but funny humour, too :D

Also... Big Dong? Really :D

scalliondelight 2019-10-10 13:44

@zmvl before jumping over the violet monkey, did you beat up the other two monkeys or jump over them? I'm not able to reproduce this bug, so if you can provide any extra detail that would be awesome. I also wonder if different browsers might be rendering things slightly differently -- can you tell me what browser you're on?

zmvl 2019-10-10 13:48

@scalliondelight firefox yep beated, but jumped over violet monkey and lost ability to punch

raomer 2019-10-10 18:59

A short game, but fun! The art is way cool and fits the theme of hte game. :)

blitzcloud 2019-10-11 02:15

You know it's gonna be funny when you see puns on the names of the game summary

konomizure 2019-10-11 02:29

Niiice game, pretty art, good music, nice idea, but the animations are juuust a little bit off. Mainly the animations of when the enemies get hit. But if you speed up all the animations a little bit, the game would be really awesome!

scalliondelight 2019-10-11 17:16

@konomizure you're totally right, i'm playing with the speed of animations now and it does feel quite a bit better with just a slight bump to speed. that feels a little out of scope for a post-submission update though, but noted for when we develop this further.

purrseus 2019-10-11 20:56

I'm especially fond of the audio, the soundtrack is really good! The whole premise and art direction are also really swell. The fighting system is a bit on the simple side and could make use of a bit more work. On the other hand the experience is short enoguh that it does not get dull.

Short and sweet game. Leaves me with a warm feeling, with that great presentation and humorous setup :)

kuviman 2019-10-12 06:32

A little tutorial would help. So you can't jump over the final boss, so you need to take little damage before him, because he traps you in the corner.

kaeveris 2019-10-12 12:11

Cool game, nice sounds, great art and animations! But I got stuck quite a lot between monkeys and couldn't jump or hit them :(

evgeniya-zapolnova 2019-10-12 19:03

Nice art and animation! I liked that I can complete this game even though usually fightings are too difficult for me.

nikolay-zapolnov 2019-10-12 19:11

Wow, cool graphics! It would be great to have the game a bit longer (for example, just add more encounters of the same enemies). Also, I think cooldown for enemies after attack should be a bit shorter. I really enjoyed playing this game.

hcursino 2019-10-13 06:42

Amazing art, nice music and cool characters. The enemies damage animation take too long to finish which makes the fighting a bit weird, but other than that I enjoyed the game. Nice to see a neat beat them up made in such a short time. Good job.

gonzo13 2019-10-13 23:45

It was fun! Great sound. Good game.

PS: I met such a stupid monkey :smiley:

scalliondelight 2019-10-14 00:19

@gonzo13 monkey surfing is a valid strategy

kaizo 2019-10-14 05:12

Fun game, but fighting was a bit odd. Art is good too.

amerigo-gazaway 2019-10-14 06:58

Controls are a bit weird but love the comic art style and music. That Boss theme slaps so hard!

ahistyap 2019-10-14 20:18

Very cute art style! Maybe need a little rework on the animation, because it feels clunky. Great game overall. Nice work!

rodrigo-denubila 2019-10-15 13:13

The art is very nice and the music and sfx are great too. I liked that the punch is disabled when Chorizo is without pants... hehe I missed an way to restore my life and I think that controls are a little bit slow, but overall is a good game.

stark 2019-10-15 16:14

Very good idea with a music and a missing music box.

realitycheck 2019-10-16 23:40

Nice game, and I really like the character graphics. Music was popping and the animations were good - really liked how little piggy covered his bits in the beginning.

Fighting felt a little bit off, and it seemed all I had to do was mash the button and I would win. So some work on the combat system could really help the game out. Also, it was too short :)

Great game overall. I had fun playing it.

bungalow 2019-10-19 00:41

Really cute art and music, except it definitely needs a lot more feedback. Snappier animations, more impact-y sounds, particles when hitting or getting hit and camera shake. All of these are definitely needed, but other than that I enjoyed this little game! Awesome job!
