Nice difficulty curve.

When everyone was running around the desks I thought was quite fun, dodging and diving!

Nice, simple animations; they work really well.

A nice little game that got increasingly difficult over time.

I think I found a way to break the gym level by standing behind the other kids haha.

Great artwork, I love my goofy little character whos just doing his best keeping his flour alive.

Good job on the game, I enjoyed this a lot!

Good surprise! Easy to understand and pick up, which is a good quality in a game. Nice work!

Nice game with simple graphics and gameplay. Cool idea behind it. Good job!

"It's gym time !" *strongly throw every ball to the same kid* Haha had a good laugh playing your game, nice entrey overall, the hitbox of our character is quiet punishing though :smile:.

Nice game a bit hard :p Just on little stuff to say: in the playground the kids can pass trough obstacles and not me with is disturbing at first and prevent me to to use them as cover.

The "hide behind the kids to escape the balls" exploit is definetly on my to-do list post jam hah

Lovely graphics and atmosphere. I though felt sorry for the dude while at gym class - this is regular tough schooling...

The controls work great (though I had some hitbox problems in the third level) and the game gives the atmosphere of really caring for this flour in such a crazy situation.

Keep up the good work :)!

Love it! Just the right amount of challenge. Art style is so charming!

sophiemae0 2020-04-22 19:01

I found it annoying that the kids and balls on the playground can pass through the tires while my character could not. The art style was simple and consistent which was really nice and the Undertale esq playstyle was a lot of fun! Great job, congratulations on a fun game

Cool game that manages to stay interesting by changing up each level enough :) It would be cool if they threw the dodgeballs in your direction but maybe that's too hard. The animations were cute and perfect for the aesthetic. Great entry!

Pretty fun ! It remind me of a bullet hell but in a friendly way !

I really enjoyed this game. There were a lot of subtle things that felt polished that made the game feel nice to play. The ease in and out of collisions and movement made input responses feel butter-y smooth!

Something about the walk cycle too. Don't know why. This game was cutely charming!

I'm pretty sure it's been brought up, but even using the gym hide-behind-kids-like-a-coward cheese didn't save me my first play through!

Great job on this friendly bullet hell from parenting class!

Very fun! I didn’t realize at first that we lose "flour points" when we get hit (I thought they missed or something), but then I managed to win at my second try. The graphics are very cute :)

caeonosphere 2020-04-25 06:45

Clever idea for the theme! Those damn kids run around like their hair is on fire... managed to win with 60 flour left in the bag. I certainly appreciated the changes in scenery; some sound could have really completed the scene!

Haha nice job, I had this same idea because I had to do this in school too, but in the end I went for an egg game instead. Well done, you made a nice simple but effective game, the gameplay is hard, maybe the levels go on a little bit too long, and it would be nice to have some music, but I think you did a great job of the art and animations and made a nice little game.

Cool, I just think that the hitbox for of the balloon for the gym class are too big (ar i am too bad maybe) Nice game anyway ! :) (sorry for bad english)

aryanjumani 2020-04-25 13:39

Really fun game! Had a nice time playing it! Although this game does support bullying(gym time) where everyone throws the ball at the same poor guy :P. Anyways really great game. Would have been much better if some music would be present!

Really novel idea that was executed really well. I'd agree with other comments about it being a tad too hard (I think it's mainly the hitbox around the player seeming to be their entire body rather than a circle centred on their feet which is what you'd expect from that perspective), but this was thoroughly enjoyable.

bloham 2020-05-01 20:29

I like how you reused your mechanics and assets! The stages get more and more difficult, what is really nice. First I wondered why you have lives in the first place, but in the 3rd level I needed it! xD It also has a nice style and the changing environments help to keep this little game alive! I like it.

josh-riley 2020-05-03 22:07

Really fun, I think you're character art and shadows are very strong. The only thing that was a little frustrating at times was the hitboxes being a little bit too punishing. A lot of the times I lost hitpoints I felt like I didn't actually get hit.

n8 2020-05-09 12:13

Really like the art/animation. The hitbox was slightly larger than I thought it was (but maybe I need to stop playing fast and loose with my flour baby!). There was a nice balance in your speed and the enemy speed though.

Very nice word done in two days. Esy to play and understand. The graphics are also well made.

GG !
