Very well done. The art direction for this game is on point. Everything goes so well together and it feels really nice to beat up the meatboys coming for your macaroni. Great work!

The game is really good but the music is too loud I wanted to mute it

Good game! I like it!

The "macaroni mechanic" is pretty cool, never seen that before. The game looks great and sounds great. Punching up and down would be a nice addition. All in all, well done :)

Wow this game was amazing, super fun! The concept was easy to understand, and so was the controls. I loved the graphics and the audio, and destroying enemies was sweetly satisfying. I especially liked when projectiles were being fired at Mac, forcing me to move him. Well done, truly a gem of a game right here.

The art and audio were great! I thought the idea behind it was pretty funny. I struggled with placing the theme though. Seemed like attaching a theme to a game idea more than creating a game based on the theme.

The Maccaroni's jumping around was hilarious. I liked the punches, though I wish that they were in the direction based on WASD (or the arm followed the mouse in 360 degrees).

Overall, pretty good start to something! Keep it up!

Stabbed and killed the macaroni by mistake, laughed really hard. 10/10, would play again!

Nice job!

prox276 2020-04-20 17:18

@brice-mahier Thanks! You can't kill the macaroni. I thought about adding that feature but it turned out to be too annoying. There must've been something else that killed it. :)

Only being able to punch horizontally made playing pretty hard. Apart from that, it was very fun.

My goodness , what a game!! This is honestly really cool and the graphics looks amazing. The sound and the music is spot on and basically I didn't find any problems with the game at all! At first it annoyed me, that I had to start again whenever I would die, but that's what kept me engaged and made me play the game even more! Great Job, fellow game developer, this is definitely gonna be in the top 10 games of this Jam!

@nikkrope Thank you so much! I would be greatly surprised if it'd be in the top 10 but I'ts nice to hear you had fun with it! Thanks! :)

Threw the noodle at a baddie, lost instantly. Amazing, love it!

Love the idea, what about unlocking players or new macs? as progression prizes.

prox276 2020-04-20 20:17

@binaryprinciple Good idea! I plan on making a game with simular controls/gameplay (Except without mac) and randomly generated dungeons after the jam.

Very nicely done overall. It can be hard to attack on top or bellow you. was really fun

takase 2020-04-21 10:13

Well done! I loved the game, it's very fun and beautiful.

andrew-david 2020-04-21 15:57

Great Game, Would have been better if the punches were in all directions. :-)

gal-afik 2020-04-21 17:26

This is great! I love the music and pixel art style. The game feels very responsive and smooth. Two suggestions: a restart button would be awesome, especially considering the difficulty, and I would add a sound effect to indicate that the player is within range of Mac.

bernard-bumblebutt 2020-04-21 17:32

Really fun, was only able to punch in one direction though.

le-slo 2020-04-21 22:34

Very well done game, my only complain would be the use of the mouse buttons for attacking and grabbing, but not for the attack direction, having to place the player awkwardly to the sides of the enemies (although you did think of that spawning the enemies at the correct places and also with the size of the board), I think that an inconsistent input method, using space could have worked better. Apart from that, excellent polish to the sound and art departments, great job!

Oh no, meatboys want to eat my friend Mac!

I like that you can't get killed, only stunned (and while you're stunned they kill Mac, so you die too :) ). Also, great use of screenshake and sfx

really addicting game. only managed to beat level 3. The music is really catchy and the punch animation is really satisfying!
