Very cool game! I love the audio and the overall feeling. Also great artworks!

pfeyffer 2021-04-26 17:45

Hahaha, excellent game! Basically, you get a fantastic and funny song and a little game as a bonus.

codeforjoycaro 2021-04-26 17:46

Stylish game art. Simple but tricky game play. Audio is efficient. Well done.

hilkojj 2021-04-26 17:47

The music was very amusing haha! Also, the art is stunning. Great job.

It was kinda hard to avoid the obstacles, made me think of flappy bird. But I wish it was a bit easier because I died many times :P

Poor rabbit :D I really like the comics feel. Music fits theme nicely. Good Job!

varalta 2021-04-26 17:49

I like how gameplay art and music comes altogether.

I really like the humor that comes with the vocals in the music.

The music is great! Also the sound effects are really effective -- that chord fits perfectly in the music.

Something that happens here on my end is that the music doesn't loops =/ so when it ends, it stops, but game still plays.

Besides that, great work! The mechanic are interesting -- gameplay is challenging -- and art sets a great mood with simplicity but style!

Congratulations for this Ludum Dare game guys!

Best regards,

Caio Varalta

Thanks for pointing out non-looping music @varalta ! I did a last minute change on the audio handling, which broke the looping. I have now uploaded a version with looping music.

@codeforjoycaro I was thinking what kind of a game I could make in a day and Flappy Bird was my first idea! :joy: We only started making the game on Saturday!

Thanks for playing!

The music is great, love the story. Not sure what the seashells did for me. The music also didn't appear to loop, besides that, quite good.

locustjin 2021-04-26 18:01

I love the graphics and mood and play, but mostly i love MarmaidBunny heh :P

zondarg 2021-04-26 18:03

Wow, that was great! Got rescued by the Merbunny at the end. :) Very good music, the lyrics are really funny (and fitting too!), a rare thing to have music with lyrics in the jam. Steering is ..not easy.. and often the space between rocks is blocked by a car or a shark and its impossible to continue. And yes, the Music ended after a while and then only the jazzy brass stabs remained. :) Amazing entry! Good job! :thumbsup:

apaphy 2021-04-26 18:17

very cute art style and charming music. the two button gameplay was super addictive! sometimes the levels would generate unfairly, but considering this was made in less than 72 hours, it's quite impressive!

bidentworks 2021-04-26 18:17

Top notch artisitc direction ! The song is amazing, the cutscene hilarious, the good ending so darn cute, the art to die for. The gameplay is not very innovative but it is fun to play ! I love how it drag to represent the resistance of water. The randomizer of level allows for multiple playthroughs. Overall really fun gameplay.

I would advise removing the cutscene upon replaying. Seeing it once when launching the game is perfect. Having to skip it when replaying is a hindrance.

Once of the most polished games from this jam when it comes to looks and sounds. Nice job !

joonamo 2021-04-26 19:53

@bidentworks Thanks for commenting about the cutscene. We had a long (in jam terms) discussion with @noke about having it between the plays. I guess she was right after all! :grimacing: Thanks for playing!

dhim 2021-04-26 20:41

Nice game, i also made a fall through game!

* The audio is so warm and funny! I was laughing out loud all the way down. I'll play again just to listen to it * The color palette is so nice! and the artworks are beautiful.

It sometimes seems impossible to go through though...

harrison-dunn 2021-04-26 20:52

Spectacular. The art direction is standout. But that track is also amazing. When I saw the landing page and noticed the bunny had concrete feet I busted out laughing. Well done, team! I was able to 'win' with 216 points. Controls felt a little wonky with the small hop/slow down when you change direction, but I got used to it after a bit. I think my favorite bit was the horn SFX on fail and at the start.

hiddenulf 2021-04-26 21:54

Loved your game, music is amazing and the aesthetics omg

jorgeblanco 2021-04-27 00:52

Great art and sound. Really felt "complete". My only gripe was the limited control you have over the player character. Given that you are maneuvering in a small space, tighter controls would raise the skill ceiling and make the game even more fun!

mlho7 2021-04-27 01:58

Very nice one, that song! simple, efficient and funny, well done.

cambosouph 2021-04-27 02:02

Stellar game! The audio is so much fun it brought a smile to my face. The art style is impeccable. I was terrible at the game though, I died so much but that could just be me!

cinderblock 2021-04-27 02:12

It may be a bad day to be a bunny, but its a great day to be a game jam players. The soundtrack is honestly amazing. The comic-style story telling is brilliant. And the game idea is nice and simple. Excellent all around!

Edit: Also "The cats own all the pizzerias in town, it's a cover operation but they make some really good pies" is probably the best lyric ever written.

andreia 2021-04-27 04:28

I love the art and the storytelling! A bit hard for me, I died quite a bit. Felt like I wanted the controls to be less sensitive, but maybe I just need to practice more. Really nice and polished game, gj!

binaryprinciple 2021-04-27 04:55

One of the best I played so far! The art style goes very well with the music and give so much personality. The grim hummor and the excellent controls! I don't know what to add, it feels so complete!

seng-yong 2021-04-27 11:15

the art is really good do hope for a twist in gameplay as similiar games can be easily found

wobs 2021-04-27 12:18

ooooh I love the art style and the theme! its so creative :D

also the music is an absolute banger! Such a great little game overall!

bqq 2021-04-27 15:58

Everything comes together so well in this one! I really want a prequel comic book in this style of the bunny running into trouble with the cat mob :D

szymon-ogd 2021-04-27 18:04

I really like it! Great mood and sounds. Hehs.

filgru 2021-04-28 23:33

Woooow!:))) What a funny idea for a game!! I love this song, it sounds so close to Tom Waits' style :) Graphic style is awesome, I like that only few colors were in use. It makes everything's very clear and easy to understand. Very cool logo and title of the game. This short comicbook introduction is cool, but I wouldn't repeat it every time when you start over. Maybe I would add some more animations to all characters :) Overall, very positive impression! Congrats!!!

boxedmeatrevolution 2021-04-29 01:03

The song is fantastic, the game really entertaining.

mmkalll 2021-04-29 14:25

Love everything about this game, 5/5! Good luck beating the highscore :)

nerdingfreak 2021-04-30 15:27

Love it.... can't get the song out of my head

nikolaj 2021-05-01 00:45

hilarious, love the music, fun mechanics, beautiful art! Also, twistedly cute.. ha! great job

tucan 2021-05-01 14:07

I really like your game! The graphics are awesome! The music lyrics are hilarious! I liked how it randomizes the level every time, as feedback there were sometimes where a shark was generated to close with the debris and the rocks so it made too hard to avoid. Great Job!

fadrikalexander 2021-05-01 15:26

The music and the graphic are top notch!! well done, although the gameplay was not perfect it's not even challenging with obstacles that can't be escaped from maybe having a way to slow down a bit will make the game perfect.

reblys 2021-05-01 18:33

The gameplay is very basic, but the general atmosphere of the game made me smile. Very nice art, and funny lyrics x). Congrats !

rewzu 2021-05-01 18:37

Amazing art style and music - it is fantastic! Such a great mood! Game seems very polished and fun to play. I've found one issue though. It sometimes happens that obstacles spawn so close together that it is very hard or even impossible to avoid them. Other than that it is really good ~~pie~~ game!

joonamo 2021-05-01 18:47

@rewzu there's no pie here, only fish and various debris! :pizza: :fish:

tigermouse 2021-05-02 18:59

A fun little game! I really love the unique and distinctive art style - great work!

leonardo-coyado 2021-05-02 23:29

So fun to play! loved the graphics!

jormarysky 2021-05-03 18:01

If it were not fiddly controls, this would have be first 5/5 on all categories

joonamo 2021-05-03 18:30

Thanks @jormarysky ! Maybe give it a few more tries and you'll find even the controls are 5/5? :wink: Anyway, glad you're enjoying what we made!

zimny11 2021-05-03 20:37

Awesome! The whole story is so cool and the song, ah! Great job!

ivan-nosov 2021-05-04 20:39

Greate song!Cool intro comics.

mrtroy 2021-05-06 14:39

I've gotten rescued, but I still have this hilarious song looping in the background!

"Bunny has crossed the cat mob for the very last time"? I think not. 😏

One major complaint I have is placement. Sometimes the seashells are put in location where I can't possibly get it or worse yet, sharks are place in the only possible passing. Other than that I really like this game.

3079 2021-05-06 14:43

Very cool game. The art is great and the music is even better. Gameplay is fun but it's quite hard to controll the character and the obstacles are almost unavoidable sometimes but it steel feels fair and fun and I guess it adds to the replayability. I was also able to consistantly clip through the wall by pressing an arrow button rapidly against itbaddaytobebunny.png

joonamo 2021-05-06 18:50

@3079 you must be a button mashing machine! I thought I had fixed that bug, but apparently not. I'm just not as good at rapidly mashing arrows. Thanks for playing! :rabbit:

vesper 2021-05-08 21:38

That song is my new favourite thing. Honestly you guys did a great job, the intro is so simple and yet it adds so much to the game.

I would have liked it if the collision sensitivity was just a hair less finnicky. As things stand it feels more luck than skill based (some of those car/shark/outcrop combos are genuinely unavoidable) so that became frustrating after a bit. But also it's definitely a game that rewards many, many play-throughs, and for a JAM game the difficulty balance was pretty impressive.

Overall I had a lot of fun (and only swore at the computer several times :wink:).

rhornbek 2021-05-09 19:05

This is hilarious. The music and the art are fantastic. Sometime it seems like the way the level generates it is impossible to get past some areas, and the controls make it difficult to be precise. With a little bit of gameplay polish this would be a 10 out of 10. Fantastic job!

tsuba42 2021-05-11 13:38

One of the few jam games I actually managed to win! Sometimes impossible, due to sharks or cars blocking the path, but great graphics, mood and music!
