How many TV remotes does a guy need. And why does he put three slices of pizza down into hi couch? Anyway, great concept, this is short enough to work as a mini game, but with enough replayability to keep yo busy for a while. The art looks good. Not too fancy and not bad at all. Really good.

Awesome game! I really like the interpretation of the theme in this game!

Played this with my wife. It was a blast, very creative. Nice sounds too.

andreia 2021-04-27 05:25

@j0ye Thanks! You can never have enough remotes and pizza under the couch ahah We wanted to have more item art to make it a bit more diverse but didn't have time to get to them. I guess it creates funny stories of someone who hoards remotes?

Thanks for playing @kameia! And Thanks @jacobrutter I am happy both you and your wife had a fun with this :)

Could just be me, but I could fingure out how to pull out the phone! Haha. Cute game and nice sounds.

I liked the hand animation and graphics very much. could not find the mouse

chunkish-campino 2021-04-27 11:01

Nice idea! But a bit hard to pick up things. The physics is a bit too sluggish :D

prerak 2021-04-27 11:10

Great concept :D The controls felt fun and the sound gives out a very different vibe making the game more better Also kudos to you for the difficulty selection creativeness

pedrohph 2021-04-28 03:22

Wow, considering the amount of pizzas I found you will soon have problems with cockroaches on that couch! hahahahha

I liked this idea. I have complete all the 3 difficulties and I had fun with it! Good Job! :smile:

Nice idea and funny quick game. It is quite frustrating taking our the heavy objects - it really reminded me when you want to take something out of a "deep place" and you can't quite get the grab on it haha. Thanks

mrscythe 2021-04-28 09:28

Love the idea with trying to find objects in a couch. :grin:

LOL it is a really fun game :D Good thinking man. Very cool and humours interpretation of the theme. I love when people think outside the box. Good Job. PS: Unfortunately at my first try somehow I pushed one of the necessary items down the screen, and assuemed I wass gonna find it at a lover level location. Nonetheless it wasn't a great issue.

This is a really interesting play on the theme :) The mechanic is really polished and quite fun, with the limited lights, the hard to grab objects, choosing the correct part of the sofa, + the timer and difficulties Overall it was fun, despite my usual aversion to putting my hand in the couch >:)

As frustrating as a carnival claw game! 10/10 Will lose things again.

Such a clever concept. Well done!

pedro-miranda 2021-04-29 12:22

What a great idea! One of the funniest game I've played so far!

Nice mechanics as well. Couldn't get my stuff several times untill got the hang of it.

Very well done, congratulations!!!

ds-nahogara 2021-04-29 12:33

What a cool game! IT is real fun, it is quite hard to grab things at first, i think making the hands collider bigger could help but at the same time makes the game more challenging!

Fantastic little game! :smiley:

The concept of the game and the graphics were pretty cool. Especially the UI was well designed and told me what I needed to know. For me, the grabbing mechanic was way too hard. Even on easy-mode I needed 5 attempts to get what I need. Speaking of easy-mode, I love that you put in a selection for difficulty. That's almost always a good idea and I'm thankful you implemented it.

vaincil 2021-04-29 19:22

Ha, I can’t seem to be able to get those keys! Nice idea, good job on making this a complete game with a great menu, several difficulty levels and all. It looks great too. I have to try that again with a mouse though, it feels impossible with the touchpad!

dhim 2021-04-30 07:06

Excellent fast paced game!

Everything is there, the music set a fast mood of stress to find the items, the theme is there as you go deeper and deeper in the couch! The grabby grabby is just like a claw machine, impossible to get right and completly frustrating (I don't know how much is on purpose, but I love it)

Kudos for the super nice menu, difficulty selection and player customization. I thought At first it would be the couch color... ( you could also add a customize couch (buy a couch) and customize the shirt color).

My only complaints is that going out of the screen to get out of the couch usually lose the focus on the web version. Maybe recommend full screen, or somehow capture the mouse.

andreia 2021-05-01 05:42

Thanks everyone!

@vaincil Yes, it's super difficult with the trackpad. I play with that too on my MacBook and thought the game was very difficult but for mouse we found it was super easy, this is why we ended up adding the difficulties actually to try to improve it and make it balanced in more cases within the time we had ^^

@dhim Thanks for the suggestion! I added it on the itch page :) Couch colors would be great! I actually had a blue, red and yellow that I made to choose which color looked better, should've kept them all as options ahah

joonamo 2021-05-01 09:25

For a first time, a game that was actually more fun on my trackpad than with a traditional mouse! The slippery control was so much fun with a large trackpad and made the experience so much more enjoyable. The music was spot-on and really made me feel I was running late.

Nice job and thanks for a web build!

noke 2021-05-03 03:12

Hilarious and innovative use of the theme! Music fits perfectly too!
