Nice work team! This is a great entry, very highly polished! The music is great, the art style is very cute. I think some block breaking / collecting sound effects would have added a bit to the experience but what you have here is great.
The core mechanic is a lot of fun - and the sounddesign is hilarious. Great entry!
@vanleiden @norris-eldridge Thanks a lot! We have done our best to make good feeling for every second spend in this game! How was yours score?
@norris-eldridge what block breaking and collecting sounds do you mean? :D
@michal I don't remember my score now, guess I'll have to play again now lol
I mean it'd be cool if you had added in some sound effects that played when the blocks were broken or when you collect the yellow blocks :)
Actually, I'm sorry @michal I do hear some sound effects in there now lol I guess before I was so focused on the music / voice lines that I missed that there were other sound effects going on in there too.
Also on attempt number 2 I managed to get a score of 92505 and I'm happy with that score lol
@norris-eldridge that is good to "hear"! :D
Loved the simple controls and the fact that the game was forgiving enough in the opening that I could pickup the mechanic and get a solid run going on my first try! The music and sound throughout the entire game was hilarious, and really enhanced the visuals as well. The "Ultra" combo felt great, really enjoyed being able to just 'let it rip' in those moments! First run I pulled off a 201,594 @ lvl 60 and I know that's good because I was told I was awesome and doing a great job the whole way! :thumbsup:
@kyleblack You definitely was doing a great job! Nice score for the first time. @norris-eldridge don't you feel challanged :P?
I really enjoy the games that focus on the fun aspect, and this one nailed it for me. a great effort, team. feels really polished and kept me playing for the last half hour.
I loved the musics its very funny. Also feel of the camera shake is tasty. It was fun !
Sound Effect is funny, This game will make me addict
Nice, was very satisfying to swing around the place.
Awesome! The game is very fun. The controls are challenging without being too difficult. The game is very polished, especially for a jam game. The audio is great. Getting the ultra felt very satisfying.
Wow. Satisfying and great game. I love the sound! The menu Music is awesome :D And the gameplay is so much fun. There is no end though? Or ist there? I stopped at depth 60 ... did I miss anything further down?
Thank you @norris-eldridge, @vanleiden, @kyleblack, @batiali, @batuoz, @kenlee, @wilsk, @saathvik and @noskro! :smiley:
And @noskro: no, there is no end unless your octopus dies, you just try to get as much points as possible :)
Thanks for kind words! We've got an info that the highest score is about 350K Is anybody who will reach it higher?
Everything about this is incredibly fun and feels so good! Found myself playing it for quite a while. I wish this is on Android so I can play this on my phone. :smile:
Really cool entry, loved the art and audio, the swinging idea was really cool, though i feel like the level design could be improved, and difficulty increased, the game was too easy for my liking, also not a huge fan of wall of text at the start, but i am really neat picking here, the game is really well made
really cool, nicely designed entry! made for a fun and arcadey experience! could definitely see it expanded in scope!
Simple, addictive, and fun. This is the perfect game. (i got to 290607 points!)
Great music and combo system! I like swinging around and being told I'm awesome :heart_eyes:
Had lots of fun playing your game. The graphics are super polished and the audio is just amazing! Great job! :D
Very solid game, really engaging to play and control takes some time to master. Music and art fit together really well, great job guys!
much fun in gameplay and very cool music
Very polished and nice game. I really liked the juice and the music in this game was top notch. Very well done. :)
So many particle effects, I love it. Good music, well done for the Jam!
Really fun swing mechanic and with all the polish it feels very satisfying. I like the constant affirmation that I'm awesome :P. I seemed to be able to lose early on but after a certain point I purposely tried to kill myself to no success.
This was fantastic! It's a great example of the fun that polishing can add becasue it took a very simple collecting mechanic and made it feel incredibly fun! Great work on every aspect of the game!
That music in the beginning is stuck in my head now. Other than that, this is a very polished game, you could probably publish this on the app market as it is. Well done :thumbsup:
A lot of fun! Really enjoyed the sound fx and the grappling mechanic!
Mechanic works very well, I loved the sound design :D
This game made me glad that I submitted for the compo instead of the jam, because this is the clear winner for the jam. Special kudos to Krzysztof for the hilariously awesome sound design.
A very enjoyable game. The audio weirded me out at first, but it grew on me quickly. The music is great. The announcer is cool too, but I wish there was more variety in what he says. But that's a relatively minor complaint about an overall *awesome* game.
On one of my first attempts I got 308397 points on depth 87.
Edit: Only just now I realized that there are 2 different soundtracks that are chosen seemingly at random. Not sure what's up with that, but I like both.
@twospaces-sg Yeah there are two sets of music in game made by two different musicians :D Also in main menu there are two random musics randomized each time you open the game

Thanks guys for playing our game. We are glad that game satisfies you. We know that there could be more content to make this game harder... but every idea we came into was too time consuming.
Some of you talked about publishing app on mobiles. We will see what future bring :D
Still 350k is the highest score :P leaderboard sounds necessary hehe.
Thanks a lot for your effort and comments!
Highly accomplished! I think the mechanics are well designed and I love the simple addition of a combo timer and an ultra mode to give the gameplay a lot of depth and replayability.
One thing I would think about if you ever came back to this idea is to cycle through different tilesets/backgrounds, as fatigue started to set in for me as I reached depth 88 or so. It would help the player feel like they are making more progress with different environments to destroy/swing around. Granted, that's not something that can always happen within the confines of the jam.
All in all, excellent work from the team.
Hi! What a funny game, I had such a nice time playing. I really liked the music, congrats on that. As a suggestion, I would say that it's very difficult to die in the game, I had to hit a lot of rocks before getting a game over. But overall, if was a lot of fun! Great job!
Wow. I loved this. Music was epic, and it just felt so satisfying getting ULTRA and blowing through everything. The instructions in the beginning were a bit hard to read. Controlling the character was satisfying, and the little verbal feedbacks were both hilarious and encouraging. This was one of my favourites.
Really bouncy, fun and polished. The audio was a definite standout, great job.
It's a bit easy, but I like it
This is great! Easy and forgiving but that's part of what makes it so addictive! Music was fun and fit perfectly with the game.
I have been gambling for a long time, and recently started looking for interesting slot machines that have a free version of the game. Just recently I found this https://top-canadiancasinos.com/free-slots/chicago/ here is this review of a rather interesting game based on Chicago, read it, it's really interesting not even for ardent players
