First few times I played the A+D mashing wasn't working but I could use them to walk. But it started working after some restarts. Love the art

Simple. Fun! I don't know how the detection works on some of these things. I tried to stray far enough but even Daryl is getting dragged from someone OUTSIDE the screen. I feel that shouldn't be.

Other than the bug of A&D sometimes not working when mashing before a few restarts, the game its job very well!

@blackopsben Thank you so much! @james-gillespie Thank you so much for playing! I'm sorry you had to experience a bug, should've given the game more vigorous testing @fiakaiera Thank you so much for playing, the detection works by random time intervals between 3 and 10 and then Darryl goes to the closest danger area :)

cute turtle, my finger are killing me though :)

This was very fun! It's quite short, but that probably due to the lack of time :wink: I had to open it twice (I think there was a small bug that prevented it from loading - could be on my behalf though...)

Graphics were really good, but for some reason mashing the buttons didn't do anything to save Daryl so he died every time :(

I really liked the game. I did have an issue with not being able to save Daryl as well. It seems like it wouldn't register the key presses. I liked the art quite a bit.

Cool game. Nice graphics. Fits the theme. Good job!

i like the name as well, good idea

Cute idea and cute graphics. Interesting that you control Darryl while also kinda passively protecting him.

Really liked it.

Simple but really well implemented. Trying to find the optimal way to walk around the dangers to have time to escape took me some time but finishing it was very rewarding. Cute visuals as well. Great job!

I like turtles! Cute and simple little game. Button mashing worked for me. I liked the sprites although the crab sprite not having black outlines breaks some consistency. I wish there was some sound as well.

me: "no, no don't do it... want did i tell you" :D

Darryl would not survive long in the real life! I managed to beat the game after I switched to using two hands for mashing the keys :)

Fun game! The graphics were great, and the animals were cute :) Good job!

natalie-sodomkova 2020-04-25 18:51

cool!

The game is idea simple and fun. The graphics is pretty good, but the game really needs some music and/or some sound effects. Sadly the fighting system did not work for me. Overall is this fun little jam game.

Nice idea!

I thought at first you had to repeatedly press the opposite direction of where Darryl was going (to prevent him from going there) but once I understood how it worked, I managed to save Darryl in a bit more than 56 seconds ^^

The graphics are nice, though I'm not sure I understand what the pile of rock next to a thermometer might be (trash ?), but overall a cute little game. I would have loved some audio as well :)

Overall a nice little entry, congrats!

Well done! The graphics are really nice but some sounds and music would make this game even better. I also didn't really like how it fits in with the theme since your pretty much just keeping the player alive.

Overall it's a great entry!
