Can't restart the game :( Funny gam though!
Thanks for playing @trypants! Added a restart button at the end screen.
The artstyle is really good wow! I love the concept, and with the time given to make the game, I'm really impressed. It's an engaging game, but it would be cool if you added a little more variety to keep things fresh. But it's pretty cool!
Very funny game! Simple premise executed well. It wasn't clear at first that the game was like a rhythm game but it made sense very quickly. Gets tricky sometimes when some target-speech-bubbles appear fast and slow at the same time. Good job! (I will decline on sending the screenshot as I don't drink, but do treat yourself a beer, it was fun.)
Easy to figure out the funny game mechanism, can be quite challenging when two different color bubbles appear together.
You probably considered this but maybe assign three different keys for different color bubbles would make the game easier?
And very interesting endings, I wonder how many different ending are there?
I raised $524,230, after many attempts. Sadly, real VCs don't give you a second attempt.
That was pretty fun. Despite being ordered RGB, I constantly ended up switching the wrong direction at the wrong time and failing to talk about the right thing, which kept me on my toes. It seemed like once there was a green and a blue arriving at the same time, and I talked green then blue (*maybe* the blue had just passed the green when I did that, but I think they were both close enough), but only the blue registered :(.
Great audio!
Fun little game, I was able to raise more than 200K, which seemed pretty good considering I knew nothing to start with :)
It's too bad the game is sometimes unforgiving when 2 bubbles were triggered at different speed on the same track, making it pretty much impossible to yell out the 2 words to not lose a heart.
Otherwise I loved the little graphics and simple gameplay. Great job!
Like some other commenters mentioned, it was hard (maybe impossible?) to not lose a heart when 2 different coloured bubbles appear at the same time in the same location. Otherwise it was a fun game with a cute art style and funny theme. Nice work!
Love the funky music and the animations. Harder than it looks to just spout buzzwords all day! Wish the buzzwords showed up for longer, or maybe went into a permanent place on screen, because they're really funny but I didn't always catch them. Some combinations also seem basically impossible, so needed a way to earn more lives. Great job.
Pretty good game. It is classical but with good humor and graphics, good job :)
Hi, I thought this was fun, simple yet innovative =) Now my space key hurts though, haha. It worked up a bit of stress in a good balanced way. I loved that $100k lets you live for a few months in San Francisco, I remember having to pay a fortune for the hotel when I last went to GDC!
Here was my best score: score.PNG
Nice work!
A pretty unique game for the compo, and I loved the sprite art for this too.
Finally got some time this weekend to catch up on LD and play some games. Thank you to everyone who played my game! Extra love to you to take the time to say hi and leave a comment!
@jordanvang Ah totally agree. I planned for upgrades and 3 different stages but ran out of time... Oh well there's still the next LD!
@burnedkirby You are good at this!! Just treated myself a beer so thank you! And stay disciplined and healthy :D
@keith-wang Yeah I started mapping 3 keys to 3 colored bubbles but that made the game too easy :) Figures you need to be flustered and hectic during a VC pitch meeting. There are 5 different endings to the game. Glad you liked them!
@jimbly Thank you for spending time with my game! I tend to just think that it's the VC's loss after those failed first (and only) attempst haha.
@karlipoppins Thank you thank you! Just wanna let you know again that your game is awesome, and that everyone should go check it out. Yeah whenever 2 bubbles of varying speeds arrive at the same time I just had to spam my keypresses to get through them. Could definitely make it more doable, but alas didn't have enough time to polish.
@yeomsley Thanks for playing! I found I had about 60% chance to get through that situation by quickly tapping my space key and changing color at the right time haha. Definitely don't recommend it.
@marchmain Great idea! Having large and colorful texts being generated and slammed onto the background could be very fun to look at. Ditto on a way to earn more lives, but I was having trouble figuring out a fun and logical way to do so.
@solah Haha thanks for playing!
@imphenzia Apologies to your space key! That's a great score! There's one more silly ending for finishing over $1mil but I definitely won't ask you to abuse your keyboard for me. And yes, what a crazy time it is now to live in San Francisco.
@kirbloid Thank you for the love!
Cool game ! It's a little bit hard, but the concept is really fund and I laughed a lot.
Good job :slight_smile:
