Super charming art style, love the run animation!

barelos 2020-04-20 02:39

Nice art. I really love how you set up the interactions. It is such a simple solution for a complex problem to just make the character magnet to a building, you imminently understand where you are and the object knows he has the focus. I wans't able to understand the game and so I did not end up progressing in it a lot because I kept loosing. Maybe a text with some instructions would be helpful for the first couple of actions.

binroot 2020-04-20 02:39

As cannedveg said above, the rubbery run animation was hilarious!

dooskington 2020-04-20 02:41

Nice style. I like how bouncy everything felt.

squirmonkey 2020-04-20 02:41

Well this is cute! The game play is simple, but still hectic in a fun way. A tutorial on where I was supposed to go would have been nice, but I didn't have much trouble figuring it out.

I like the art and the music, and the tiny children running around was funny too.

I had to stop playing after getting the car though, because the noise was driving me crazy.

Nice work!

polypickle 2020-04-20 02:42

Loved this! The two major secrets were great, and its very fun running around town and figuring out all the things you can interact with​

rjerez192 2020-04-20 02:44

Ran back and forth between the house, the company and the store. The model are beautiful. The background music sounds a little strange on my computer. Love the concept.

zonvoi 2020-04-20 02:45

I really like the mechanic and the art style, i spent playing it longer than i thought i would!

kromeboy 2020-04-20 02:45

Little hard to controll, but nice game when you get the hang of it.

Is there an end or it keep go forever?

pulkit-garg 2020-04-20 02:47

This is super fun and interesting

psychic-ash 2020-04-20 02:53

the screenshots look good. I got an error when I tried to run it. Shrug, could be my browser. I didn't submit a vote though since I couldn't play it.Untitled.png

sacrface 2020-04-20 03:02

Its really fun. Definitely would not show to kids! Would love for an ending condition declaring you the winner. Audio for the car is a bit loud and intrusive.

Found both your secrets: Ninja is overpowered and there really is no escape :P

mbc 2020-04-20 03:09

Nice art and mechanics - being able to go faster feels pretty good once you've gotten an upgrade. I found that the game got easier as time went on, and it was generally more difficult starting off. I think it would be pretty cool if this game was expanded to have a larger city and more interactive bits!

blackopsben 2020-04-20 03:17

@polypickle I'm glad you found them! I'm assuming that means you found your way to hell? And became a master? ;) (I realize it's ambiguous what the secrets could be, and the game doesn't explicitly tell you that you found them. I would have loved to have time to add a list of achievements/possible endings to try and find.

blackopsben 2020-04-20 03:19

@kromeboy It could go on forever. You could try to get a billion dollars! lol, but that's not one of the 2 secret? I'll just say, once you find a way to try to escape living, and when you achieve "mastery" you will have found the two "endings"

blackopsben 2020-04-20 03:20

@sacrface I'm so glad you found the secrets! Sorry about the car noise. For some reason ALL of the sounds ended up sounding worse in the build as opposed to in the Unity editor.

ishmandoo 2020-04-20 03:20

Really cute and fun!

slimabob 2020-04-20 04:31

I think this game is the perfect example of "simple, yet compelling". I spent way more time playing than I initially expected. Fun simple premise with a hilarious secret! It was very entertaining to watch all of the mini-me's running around.

gimblll 2020-04-20 05:18

Charming! Rat race of life, once I figured how it worked I immediately wanted to quit and go relax on the beach. :)

kr4sh3 2020-04-20 05:45

Really neat and fun game!

owl-skip 2020-04-20 06:35

Very charming, nice low poly style, Would have really liked all the sound, movement to gel together a bit more. Otherwise really good.

darriasart 2020-04-20 06:37

Perfect game. From the run animations to "you're already swole enough" to the style and gameplay loop. Bravo!

ofirma85 2020-04-20 06:57

Very fun and frantic game, I really like the artstyle aswell!

evolving 2020-04-20 07:24

Lovely hilarious Game))

tomeks 2020-04-20 08:27

Game jam grade music, I love it :D The entire game is a solid effort. great entry .

team-prosit 2020-04-20 09:40

@psychic-ash I solved disabling the protection for that website.

team-prosit 2020-04-20 09:41

I really enjoyed playing this game! It was a lot of fun. Especially when I became a ninja! Great job!

magnusfurcifer 2020-04-20 10:03

This is a funny game. Looks good, sounds good, the car is fun. I'm not sure what the ninja stars are for but I bought 2 of them!

robinerd 2020-04-20 10:39

Took me a while to figure out what I was doing, but I got the hang of it quite fast and realized each building's purpose. Was nice to figure out the mechanics of what to do and the different resources felt balance. The car noise was horrible but otherwise very cute and nice game! I suppose the car is time limited or something because it disappeared after a while when I bought more HP in the upper house. It would be awesome with an ultimate goal, maybe a final building that costs a lot of resources to unlock.

blackopsben 2020-04-20 11:51

@slimabob That's really encouraging to hear! Thank you so much for the feedback!

blackopsben 2020-04-20 11:53

@owl-skip THanks for the feedback. I agree. Sound was the most "after-thought" part of this for me, as this was the first time I ever attempted at making my own sounds. I would have liked less retro 8-bit sounding and more like you said, gels with the visual and gameplay style better.

blackopsben 2020-04-20 11:54

@magnusfurcifer Oh you were so close! See what happens when you get 10 of them! ;) But thanks for the feedback and for playing!

blackopsben 2020-04-20 11:57

@robinerd Thanks for the feedback! Yes that sound turned out awful! lol! It's not super intuitive, but once you have the car you can at-will toggle it on/of by pressing space when you are not in a building. For now the ultimate goal is the ninja dojo. Did you find it and unlock it's secret? ;)

dani-desa 2020-04-20 12:53

Really love the game, I was able to get out of the confined environment as a Ninjia, not sure if that is a bug. Overall quite funny and it matches the theme very nicely. A life simulator :D :D The music also keep you in the hilarious and relaxed mood. What did you use to make the music and sounds?

Overall really cool entry!

ssstormy 2020-04-20 12:57

Pretty nice progression!

I think I got both the secrets :).

The one thing that stood out for me as being a bit sore was the music. It was funky, but didn't feel coherent or interesting.

blackopsben 2020-04-20 14:42

@dani-desa Ooooh, you were pretty close to finding the other secret then! Getting out was an intentional bug, but you gotta go FURTHER out ;)

blackopsben 2020-04-20 14:45

@ssstormy yeah I whipped the music together as fast as possible by just hitting record and mashing some keys randomly with no plan. haha

robinerd 2020-04-20 14:53

@blackopsben Aha seems I have some more things to discover then! I missed the "2 secrets" part in your description :P Sounds nice

ironygames 2020-04-20 15:38

Hahaha, what charm! It reminde me of stick rpg from way back when. It's even got a little secret. I do wish there were an ending after everything is unlocked, though, some kind of closure. Anyway, very good!

pinballjunior 2020-04-20 15:43

Great art style and fast paced game play.

vex 2020-04-20 16:48

Incredibly charming.

Also, I have been through Hell, is that the second secret?

I now hunger for chicken instead of souls, so that's really well done.

johnjoemcbob 2020-04-20 17:42

Really great art, simple mechanics but super well implemented and polished, great work!

charliegray 2020-04-20 17:50

Good game. Simple to understand, fun to play. Great graphics as well.

baturinsky 2020-04-20 18:12

Great all around. Except maybe could use some winning/closure state...

jeremyfa 2020-04-20 19:15

Great entry (even though the love is fading quickly in the game :'( ) ! I love the running animation and the overall mood. Very well done!

holysparks 2020-04-20 19:16

That was pretty nice! The art is pretty funny and the game was good, just a bit easy I think? Good job nonetheless!

ps.:couldn't scape to hell :(

wongkongphooey 2020-04-20 19:35

I had no idea what to expect when I started playing this, but I really enjoyed it! Cool concept that required thinking to learn it and master it. Well done!

dhim 2020-04-20 19:41

Fun fun fun! Hard to understand what everything do, but since dying and restarting is seemless it's no biggy you can run around again and again to discover what everything do. A bit to hectic for my taste, as it is late so I didn't run around to find the two secrets. I have bookmarked it for another day :) Overall a great sweet (jammy even) game!

taran-unraveler 2020-04-20 20:05

This game is really well made! Had a ton of fun playing. A bit challenging at the beginning but it gets easier as you progress. Loved the ninja thing a lot. Saddened me a bit the fact it finished "so fast", though enjoyed it a lot. Well done!

aposs 2020-04-20 20:06

Very cool game :) The best so far. Its a little overwheling at the beginning, I "didn't get love" for 5-6 times before I really get into the game.

timo-strating 2020-04-20 21:28

Nice game, and really good interpretation of the theme

edvard-sandquist 2020-04-21 00:00

Really fun. nice game.

kunonooni 2020-04-21 00:21

So I got out through the trees and drove off the world and... so that happened.... :laughing:....Overall it was a cute little game. I got my love and energy bars maxed, got the car and of course NARUTO RUN!

blackopsben 2020-04-21 00:26

@ironygames I agree, a closure state or acknowledgement that you achieve an "ending" would be nice. Thanks for the feedback.

blackopsben 2020-04-21 00:27

@vex , yep that's it!

noucake 2020-04-21 00:27

Super fun game! :DD I didn't understand what to do at first, but it was nice to discover the mechanics!

blackopsben 2020-04-21 00:28

@taran-unraveler I'm pleased that you enjoyed it, and I guess it's a good sign if you wished it had lasted longer.

schwarcraft 2020-04-21 01:20

Really really fun! Highly addictive loop for sure!

blackopsben 2020-04-21 01:38

@noucake I appreciate you taking the time to figure it out and give feedback!

blackopsben 2020-04-21 01:39

@kunonooni YEs! I'm glad to hear you found all the game's (few) secrets! I would have loved to add lots more little easter eggs to find.

corruptor2037 2020-04-21 05:47

Very funny animations and small kids running around, good idea It would be awesome, if a real life would work like that

horus 2020-04-21 06:21

When the first kid popped out I was shocked. I fell in love with this game. The humour in it is so nice, the graphics simple. Only one thing. I hate the car noise. I'd rather run than constantly listen to the car. So you can imagine how ecstatic I was when I completed the first secret. I had assumed that the second easter egg was becoming a millionaire. And as I was cashing in the work place for $2000 dollars a pop with the energy I gained from eating half a chicken, I was soooo sad when even though I was a millionaire, nothing special happened. That was my own foolish greed though, the second easter egg was aight.

mrsilverhelmet 2020-04-21 06:21

Really fun game! I like the mechanics. It looks great as well, and I love the theme. Well done!

jk5000 2020-04-21 08:00

This is a simple and funny little game idea. Lover the arts style. The music is okay, but is also a bit messy. Overall a fine little jam game. Well done.

pke1029 2020-04-21 09:43

Really like the fast pace and fun to play. Great game!

maindric 2020-04-21 10:54

That's comical! I found the master ninja, but was the second secret that I cannot escape this hell? Good job.

laralama 2020-04-21 11:06

That was fun! But now I'm almost a little dizzy. The camera movement was probably a bit too much for me and the car noise was really bad. But I really liked the game mechanics. I also liked the graphics. The "snapping into buildings" helped a lot with playing

tari 2020-04-21 13:06

The graphics and animations are adorable! I struggled with the controls though, I couldnt get back to the love house quick enough. The mini-me that popped out of the house had me giggling :)

fat-cat 2020-04-21 14:33

This was fun, I'm not sure if there's a way to beat the game but I did max out both my meters

blackopsben 2020-04-21 15:17

@horus your feedback means a lot! I'm glad you were so thrilled and shocked by the kid popping out! haha! I wish I had time to put in more milestones/eastereggs to discover, but alas, I ran out of time. Becoming a millionaire surely should have been one of them. You were completely justified in expecting something to happen there. Also, yes the car sound was WAY worse in the final build than how it sounded in editor for some reason.

blackopsben 2020-04-21 15:19

@maindric , yep you got it!

blackopsben 2020-04-21 15:20

@fat-cat there's not a way to "beat" the game, but if you maxed out your meters, bought a car, found the secret hidden within the Dojo, and tried to "escape" then you found everything.

hcursino 2020-04-21 17:52

The second that I saw the walking animation I knew I would love this game. Made some money, got fit, kept the wife happy, made a lot of kids, bought a car, became a ninja. The whole package. Amazing entry!

thijmen 2020-04-21 18:29

Love this game! Especially the part where I became a ninja ;)

blackopsben 2020-04-21 21:03

@hcursino That's great to hear! Thank you so much for the kind feedback! Sounds like the only thing you didn't do was find your way to hell in the game! ;) (That's the second secret)

hacktrout 2020-04-21 22:09

It's true to its name, that was very satisfying! Who knew one man could single-handedly increase the population and stimulate the economy of a small town.

Great game in all seriousness. Pretty funny (especially that secret). Only complaint is that some sounds like the car engine were a bit too loud.

blackopsben 2020-04-21 22:59

@hacktrout I cracked up reading your comment! :D Thanks for your feedback! I agree the car sound didn't turn out well.

demkimos 2020-04-22 07:46

That was a very funny game. I have so many little spawns running around :laughing:. Biggest issue is the car noise which was very distracting. Fortunately, I think it bugged out and disappeared when I got too swole. For a demo game, it was worth my while. I hope you can add more stuff to do in the game.

nutriz 2020-04-22 10:44

I love the 3D style :)

cptn-b 2020-04-22 15:02

<3

the-martijn 2020-04-22 18:35

Liked the game! Was fun and addictive (before you have everything unlocked, haha)

luca-pappalardo 2020-04-23 10:26

Funny little game! I loved the ninja stuff... and the fact that I cannot escape neither through hell :D

penguinbob 2020-04-23 14:22

Nice game. I love the graphics. It did take a while to understand what to do. Nice strong game entry. Keep it up!

blackopsben 2020-04-23 14:29

@guille Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it held your attention enough for you to end up figuring it out and giving it a shot! Thanks!

eldar 2020-04-23 16:36

I liked this game a lot - I feel like it mirrors real life, if only a bit cynically xD The animations are hilarious. The banging in the love house is very ... real I guess? xD I also felt like the tooltips explained what each building does really well, and the balance was right. The one downside was the car engine sound, I preferred to walk instead.

[SPOILERS] I became a ninja and found HELL, are these the two secrets?

blackopsben 2020-04-23 20:25

@eldar You indeed found the two secrets! I'm so glad you found it enjoyable! I agree the car noise turned out awful. Thanks so much for the kind feedback!

pietro-ferrantelli 2020-04-23 21:21

Super funny entry, I love the way the character moves ahahah. I had a blast playing it, I loved the fast-paced gameplay and the graphics were super eye candy. Finally found the secrets too, now I want to make a game with Naruto Run lmao. Wonderful 48 hours solo work, keep it up !

blackopsben 2020-04-24 02:17

@pietro-ferrantelli thanks so much for the kind feedback! I'm happy you found it so humorous and that you found the secrets!

marcusnystrand 2020-04-24 13:17

The running animation is super funny and the music is somewhat weird yet very fitting! Aesthetics are pretty nice I think.

Game itself is fun for a while but gets a bit repetitive after a while. Still, great job!

blackopsben 2020-04-24 15:19

@marcusnystrand thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like the run animation! :)

hwaet 2020-04-25 05:38

that was a fun game! The movement, especially how the character sort of snaps into buidings, felt very good. That's a nice detail that doesn't always show up in regular jam entries, and you did in in a compo! So my hat's off to you. It was a good application of the theme, and it's got ninja. A++

g-a-gamestudio 2020-04-25 06:51

The game is amazing, but it could use a highscore which would help the player keep playing with the motive to beat their own highscore.

patsui 2020-04-25 07:52

Action packed management game about lovemaking, I loved it!

blackopsben 2020-04-25 20:44

@hwaet I'm glad you appreciate those touches and some would take for granted. :) Thanks for the feedback!

blackopsben 2020-04-25 20:45

@g-a-gamestudio I agree, that would have been an improvement. Or SOME way of indicating there was more for the player to do, and incentive to keep going.

blackopsben 2020-04-25 20:46

@patsui that's a hilarious description! I dig it!

g-a-gamestudio 2020-04-25 20:47

@blackopsben thank you of considering and liking my suggestion!

robowarrior1982 2020-04-26 10:05

This really perfect the game mechanics is solid. Very original with this theme ! This game its the life ! Realisation is good, very polish. i have just noticed 2 things: I didn't really understand the use of the gymroom, and when you are in a house, you can switch between car and human. But it really fun and addictive, congratulations !poe.jpg
