This game was sooo good! Enjoyed it a lot! Great artwork!

slimbun 2020-04-21 13:43

Very cool game! Very polished, I couldn't stop playing

dooleus 2020-04-21 13:46

Super adorable. Lots of fun. Great job!

kristian-kurktchiev 2020-04-21 13:46

this game is a MASTAPIECE 10/10

marco-schneider 2020-04-21 13:48

Great visuals and nice humor

sanjana 2020-04-21 13:51

I love this game and I'm gonna go back to playing it after leaving this review

lairinlair 2020-04-21 13:51

Looks like you created a great game, MAN! Im in love with the art the expression on the character and on the sun. The voices were great and very funny too. It should have music since the beginning in my opinion. THAT'S THE CLUE. Congrats again, and thank you

fat-cat 2020-04-21 13:51

I loved this game so much! The artwork is so beautiful, the music fits really nicely and all the speaking sounds are funny and sound good. This is my favorite LD46 game so far!

philip-sawyer 2020-04-21 13:53

I wasn't a huge fan, the character moved too slowly so it was kind of boring. But I like the art and the concept.

slam0 2020-04-21 13:58

Nice artwork and style. The ending was awesome :smile:

desertmaw 2020-04-21 14:04

Nice to play, funny and reminded me of old browser games.

trozeman 2020-04-21 14:11

Wow!! Ending a very cool 😎😷 great job!

larryv 2020-04-21 14:12

Woow, nice game. The flow to it felt really good, i never felt lost, and i always had an idea of what would come next. The visual were super cool and the music and sound effects added a lot to the game. Thanks you for making my morning fun.

joewolf 2020-04-21 14:23

The little world you have created is awesome! Love the song at the end as well!

merpui 2020-04-21 14:45

Nice concept! The art style, music and humor fit well together :)

sanjana 2020-04-21 16:02

I keep trying and I might just be oblivious but I'm not able to figure out the cave part and move forward

EDIT: nevermind, I figured it out! I love then ending!!!!

inflamedgums 2020-04-21 19:34

Awesome, really liked the visuals and audio! Also, the game has a very nice atmosphere, and MAN is a relatable and charming hero. On a personal level, I think he deserves better than the sun, who treated him very poorly throughout most of this. I'm just glad he found a way out of this abusive relationship in the end.

Really well-rounded game. A smart piece from every angle. Lots of work in such a tight space of time, well done.

Thank you all so much <3333333

piggles 2020-04-22 13:19

@inflamedgums I'm glad you realized the subtle hints not many people get that it's a real deep game.

runrajrun 2020-04-22 20:27

Artwork is awesome!

auxc 2020-04-22 21:31

You got a lot done before the deadline! I think the game really has a unique spirit, thanks to quirky characters, humour and quacks(but seriously, good job with the audio).

Also, the ending was straight FIRE!

curleyrach 2020-04-22 21:37

The games got a really nice feel to it :) Love the art and the sound worked well. Good job :D

grtodaro 2020-04-22 21:37

Very fun! The art is awesome ;)

nakami 2020-04-22 21:37

Everything is good in this game I love it there is a sort relaxing kindness that the game give me thanks you for this experience.

Just a tiny little think is that some times at certain position you can see a one pixel wide line between background sprites.

mrchippy 2020-04-22 23:57

@runrajrun @grtodaro @curleyrach Thanks :) @auxc We were working on it pretty franticly right up till the deadline :o @nakami I tried to fix those gaps a few times. Idk if it's an issue with gamemaker or me not aligning them completely.

ridderfar 2020-04-23 13:38

I really enjoyed this! I love the art and aesthetics, the humor, the simple gameplay.

korteh 2020-04-23 16:35

wow great little game. Love the graphics, it looks like indie games from late 2000s

jelch 2020-04-24 02:30

This game is great!

splitpainter 2020-04-25 09:05

Love the graphics, the ducks are so cute. I think the concept is original and cool, plan to make polish and publish it post-jam?

mrchippy 2020-04-25 12:30

@ridderfar @korteh @jelch Thanks <333

@splitpainter I'm glad you luck the ducks c: We don't have any set plans but we were talking about making a post-jam version. There definitely some stuff that could use that in it.

sydney 2020-04-27 02:16

I absolutely loved the art style. It was so enjoyable and the animations were cute.

space-nomad 2020-04-27 11:24

awesome style, great sounds, amazing worldbuilding. although the controls feel uncomfortable. i think making the character move a little faster would improve this a lot

erkberg 2020-04-27 19:35

A pretty amazing game all around! Love the artstyle and animations, the music and especially the sounds are great too. The game is also quite funny :) Only minor downside, as others have stated, is that the horizontal movement speed feels a bit awkward. Also, some 1-pixel-lines kept popping up, maybe due to compression? All around I really enjoyed spending a few minutes in this little world you created, great job! PS: I kinda hoped that I could give the worm a fish to eat :D

mrchippy 2020-04-28 15:05

@sydney Thanks :D @space-nomad Thanks, I'm going to take a look at the movement speed if I end up making a post jam version.

@erkberg The worm really wanted an apple.

gameovermexico 2020-04-29 02:49

Nice work, but I have a glitch whe I hv the apple and give to the snake and the screen frezze.

mrchippy 2020-04-29 11:22

@gameovermexico sorry to hear that :c does it seem like a consistant issue?

andidebob 2020-04-29 13:25

Such a fun experience, I loved everything about it, the voice acting, the art, the simple yet effectful animations, even the controls felt fair. If there is one thing I would have to criticize it is that it is over too quick. I want more adventures of MAN and even though the ending might suggest otherwise, I am hoping for a return of MAN!

madewink 2020-04-29 14:05

Nice game, I like playing through it. :purple_heart:

piggles 2020-05-01 12:24

@andidebob I agree.

ctrble 2020-05-02 13:33

This was really incredible! The art, music, controls, story, all was very well done. There were a lot of small touches that I really appreciated, like the item UI and evolving music. I liked this one a lot.

r3d3r 2020-05-09 16:48

Love this game looking forward to see more content in the future :D

r3d3r 2020-05-09 17:03

that ending though that was a funny ending xD I am looking forward to see more contents in the future :D

lilkrit 2020-05-11 11:47

The ducks killed me. (figuratively)

papaver 2020-05-15 17:30

Very cool. I like how much content you created. Congrats!

kypello 2020-05-16 05:34

Amazing, possibly my favorite out of the games I played

mrchippy 2020-05-16 13:02

@ctrble @r3d3r @lilkrit @papaver @kypello Thank you all :D

kr4ft3r 2020-06-13 10:59

Very nice, was enjoyable to walk through, even though the challenge was minimal. Well thought-out monologues and graphic style in particular.
