Fun idea, love the graphics! It seems a bit too easy to hide on the edge of the screen!

navrcl 2019-10-08 14:38

Controls are a bit clunky sometimes but overall, it's really nice and funny. Good job!

evepto 2019-10-08 14:42

I like that you have made a store to it and they talk, it makes the game much more fun

alexsogge 2019-10-08 14:44

Nice and fun idea.

citsua 2019-10-08 14:49

Funniest game of the jam I've played so far!

Really lovely game ! I made it by a narrow margin : 2019-10-08 16_52_26-Falling by dizzy_dalvin.png

Pluses : - Good controls and simple mechanic. Great idea to make the player rotate and lose control when hit - Good game feel (slight screenshake) - Funny and unexpected dialogues ! - Great graphics and music

Possible improvements : - I might have missed something, but it did not feel like the falling hearts were healing me

Overall, great game !

@citsua I'm really happy to hear you say that! We wanted to make a game that was story based, but also wanted a game that was fun to play overall, so that's what Falling ended up being! Thanks for the comment!

madeasterbunny 2019-10-08 15:08

@jlv That swordfish was willing to go the distance to get you!!! Thanks for the comment and feedback! The hearts only progress the story... We should have used another item since it's confusing...

madeasterbunny 2019-10-08 15:10

@scott-steffes Thanks for the comment! Sometimes the objects on the screen get a bit too hectic, so we opted for a smaller amount of them. We'll defiantly keep that in mind though for next time!

madeasterbunny 2019-10-08 15:12

@navrcl I'm glad you enjoyed it! A lot of the objects in the game are physics based, so having some clunky controls seems to come with it...

madeasterbunny 2019-10-08 15:13

@evepto Thanks for the comment! We wanted to have a fun story that would explain why our main character was in the predicament he was!

madeasterbunny 2019-10-08 15:14

@alexsogge Thanks for playing the game! We hope you had a fun time playing it!

grangerer 2019-10-08 15:35

Loved the game. Quite short, but plays real nice.

madeasterbunny 2019-10-08 15:50

@grangerer We're glad you liked it! We had plans to make it longer, but didn't have enough time to implement it all... Thanks for playing!!!

nikita-lozhkin 2019-10-08 16:47

Nice! But not hard

gamebuilder 2019-10-08 16:54

Nice work! I love the retro graphics and audio.

t-bo 2019-10-09 07:56

Nice game ! Cool pixel art and funny obstacles ! Good job ! :clap:

savvy-community 2019-10-09 09:50

Really fun game, and nice pixel art!! But maybe there should be something to prevent from hiding at the right and left edge of the screen? :)

madeasterbunny 2019-10-09 12:16

@gamebuilder I'm glad you enjoyed the sprites and music! @saki-m worked hard on the sprites and @dizzy-dalvin was up until 3 am finishing the music!!!

madeasterbunny 2019-10-09 12:18

@t-bo Glad you liked the art and obstacles! We all thought toilets were funny, but the gigantic hot dog was all @saki-m's idea

madeasterbunny 2019-10-09 12:20

@savvy-community Thanks for the praise! Yeah, the corners were overlooked during production, so we'll keep that in mind for next time! Thanks for your constructive criticism!

whomakeworse 2019-10-09 13:07

I really like the starting of the game, a little bit clunky

euler-moises 2019-10-09 14:37

First I would like to congratulate you. Pixel art and chiptune really hook me. Now for the technical comments: The story begins with a funny story line: "i cant believe my home blew up im stuck here with nothing falling to the earth". So we expect pieces of the house or things from the sky like planes or birds to appear, but they appear toilets and hot dogs. A little crazy, isn't it? I really love pixel art, but be careful with the finish. Respecting the size of pixels in art generally makes your work cleaner and more beautiful. The soundtrack is very well composed. There is a small hiccup when the music goes loop (a quarter of a time). Beware of looping to avoid tripping. I missed SFX. They are sorely missed! The commands are simple, basic and quite satisfactory.

Congratulations again!

This is our game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45/soundscapes

jason-lothamer 2019-10-09 14:45

It's cool that you made a story with dialog and such! Good job!

madeasterbunny 2019-10-09 14:53

@euler-moises Thanks for the comment! We planned to make the story more coherent at first, but decided that the theme was already weird enough that we mine as well have fun with every aspect of it. We'll keep in mind all of your points you brought up while we create our next game.

madeasterbunny 2019-10-09 14:54

@jason-lothamer Thanks for your comment! We hope you enjoyed your time playing it!

zimennik 2019-10-09 15:32

Almost died in cutscene :smile: Boss music is Awesome!

madeasterbunny 2019-10-09 15:42

@zimennik It needs some fixes for sure, but hopefully you had fun! I love the boss music too! @dizzy-dalvin did a great job on it!

sillyman987 2019-10-09 15:43

Nice, i think?

madeasterbunny 2019-10-09 15:47

@sillyman987 Nice!

yomissmar 2019-10-09 18:56

Loved the weird obstacles haha, really funny :) it's the kind of game I could totally play going in the subway or in small breaks. Nice job!

rodrigo-denubila 2019-10-10 12:22

Very simple game, but very well executed. The dialogues are really funny and you did a good job with the art. I laughed so much when I first see the giant hot dog :laughing:

actual-potato-69 2019-10-17 14:55

Simple and well excecuted1 Good Job! I wanted it to be a bit longer though! Good job nonetheless​!

glaciereclipse 2019-10-26 11:10

I really like the dialogues and the art of the game! I did feel the game-play was not really challenging, and the obstacles were appearing at very random places where you couldn't really dodge them. The boss fight was the only moment I felt I had some interaction with the game. Overall I enjoyed it, it was short and sweet!
