This game is really fun to play, audio and visuals are awesome.
I'm just falling, is this the norm?
@rimskypapa, yep, that's the core game mechanics.
this game is nice and simple, a very enjoyable play :) i had a bit of trouble with the controls at first but it got better. the little raccoon sprite is adorable too. nice work!
This is my highest rated game so far! No category below 4.5 stars :) I adore this game, it's so cute and the mechanics are a blast! I was legitimately laughing to myself when I would accidentally boost into a floating object, slowly slide off, and fall directly onto a bomb, getting thrown across the screen. Ragdoll physics are very fun to play with, and you got the bounciness of the walls and floating objects just right. And the art and sounds are super cute! I used the boost a lot and I think a voice line plays every time, so it got a bit repetitive, but kind of added to the silliness. I like this game a lot, really really well done!
This is good. It's novel and innovative. I found the interruptions annoying, but there's not much you can do about that
After the tutorial the obstacles stopped to appear and I just started an endless fall. :confused: But it seemed fun to play in the beginning! If I really like skill based games so it was a nice mechanic! :slight_smile:
Cute visuals and interesting concept! Ragdoll physics like these in a falling game are quite unusual!
I think it would be easier to control for those who are used to traditional game controls, if the movement keys were rebound to A/D and Q/E. This might just be my opinion, though. Well done!
@landosilva oops, that's not how the tutorial is supposed to end. Thanks for reporting that!
What you should do is to hit backspace when it introduces it in the tutorial and then you'll be able to start the real game. Please try it out, as it's quite skill-based and challenging indeed, and there is an unexpected twist if you manage to beat the game. :)
The surprise ending is surprising :smile:
I loved the graphics and the animation on the main character. The cute raccoon is extremely cute and the environment is a pleasure to look at. There are some aliasing issues, but that's really a minor complaint for a jam game. Movement feels nice, responsive and natural.
I met a bug when I ran the game for the first time. It just hanged on the second tutorial line, I could do nothing to "unhang" it. But I restarted and all went well the second time. That was on downloadable version.
It's a very cool simple game. Very solid entry!
Really fun game! The audio can get a little confusing and crowded when too many things happen (like spamming the space bar to slow down xD) so I would recommend adding some crossfade between sound events so they don't immediately cancel each other, but also don't play together all the time. Also, the swearing is kinda funny, however I feel it breaks a little too much the cute side of the game, so I think I would choose going "clean" and cute only, because the game is really really, great work with the audio and art!
Game kept crashing when I pressed backspace in the tutorial. But it froze when i didnt. For what i did play was feeling pretty good. I like the physics you used in the movement especialy the moving left and right by mashing up.
Very cute! I love your interpretation of the theme!
What a great little game! The physics were really fun if not a bit hard to control sometimes. Which makes this game because if not, it would have too easy. The music and sounds were great and the voice overs had me giggling. Yes and on the art, when using large images and scaling them down causes dithering on the edges which can be fixed by using Mipmaps on the import. But the graphics were well done! Thanks for sharing! :clap: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1003785681?t=2h32m32s
This is SO adorable! <3 I love all of it. Cute character, lovely music, neat graphics and the voice over is the cherry on the cake. Thank you for this great game.
Addition: I found an odd bug. On one of my runs I was at about 200/300 depth and then no more obstacles spawn. I closed the game at 1200 depth.
Nice game! The pastel colours and floaty physics work very well at conveying a dream-like mood. The obstacles stop at around 300m, but if you were to spend a bit more time on it and make that procedurally generated you would have a nice little highscore game on your hands.
Interesting little game and awesome voiceover !
@kapa6uh, @carolinewang, @rubenwardy, @tubertz, @laurent and everyone below thanks a lot for your kind words, we're really glad you enjoyed the game! It means a lot to us!
@peculiarcarrot, @landosilva, @totteriludum, @fabula-rasa, @waltsontanaka, @hoeleboele, @mighty-mufflon-games, @minefreak thank you so much for the detailed feedback and suggestions, they are invaluable. I carefully went through them and tried to cover most of the show-stopper issues in a post-game version of the game with bug fixes. You are more than welcome to try it out!
@waltsontanaka regarding the cuteness and swearing we fully agree with you and plan to make a child-friendly version of the game. For the jam version, we thought that it might be too cute, so decided to balance it out with some black humor. You might want to try getting to the ending of the game to discover what's behind this controversy. :wink:
@minefreak regarding the procedurally generated obstacles, they actually are there in the main game. I'm afraid that you've encountered a bug in the tutorial phase and didn't get transitioned to the main game. Sorry about that! You can check it out in the updated version with bug fixes now. :slight_smile:
@eric-smith we really appreciate it that you took your time to play our game on your stream and give us some really good feedback. Fixing the sprite import setting made them look much better! Would you mind if I add the link to your stream to the game description? This way, those who get stuck or can't play the full game for some reasons, can still see the full content of the game.
Absolutley! Feel free to use the link where you want.

Какой милый маленький енот! Он так сладко спит! Только... Почему он ругается матом? Плохой, плохой енот!
Увлекательное приключение вместе с маленьким недовольным енотом ^_^
Are you plaing with your ass?
What an ending! Neat game, I like the visuals. The music and sounds were good and funny :D. The concept is nice however the controls are a bit iffy, though maybe that's on purpose? Either way neat game! Well done!
@xpoho well done, you almost made it till the end! If you can go some 30-50 meters deeper you will find out why it's swearing and what's behind its weird dreams. :smile: Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@pnkvrt thank you very much for playing and the feedback! Yes, we started with standard controls where it moves in the direction you press but it was too easy and not consistent with the falling / dreaming concept. So we changed them to be harder to manage and more affected by the physics of falling and floating. This way, it felt more like navigating through a dream and trying to move while falling. So the iffiness is kind of on purpose. You can also do some cool and funny flip and parkour tricks with these controls. :slight_smile:
@mykola, спасибо, доиграл до конца - весьма неожиданная концовка. Енот-алкоголик и наркоман - такого я еще не помню! ^_^
@xpoho спасибо за вторую попытку и спасение заблудшего енота! Теперь у него есть шанс начать двигаться в правильном направлении!
O_O I didn't expect that ending :'D
incredibly cute game! I loved the physics-interactions especially (for example when hitting one of those cottonball-thingies!)
Very funny game with an contrasting emotional ending! Great atmosphere backed by graphics, voice and music. Nice physics which adds some emotions to the end.
Some remark: sometimes tutorial texts are behind the raccoon and hard to read. Expectation: texts are shifted to be fully visible.
Great entry!
So cute and funny! To infinity and beyond!! After a few tries i managed to get to 340m.. The controls are someway funky but nonetheless enjoyable to play. The cute voices just make it irresistible for me! Cool graphics, music and idea. Great entry guys :)
Had me chuckling, and the game is quite cute. Sound and graphics were delightful, nicely done. Having time to add an in-game tutorial is great. It looks like a lot of players expect it this LD. good work!
Cute sounds and graphics and a fun concept with funny physics! Very interesting idea and odd/contrasting ending :) Only problem I had was that sometimes bombs would spawn right where I fell out of my room into the dream haha
What a cute game and fun game and what a dirty mouth on that raccoon.
A cute and fun game. I loved the concept, art, music and sounds. Congratulations to the developers.
Well that ending was unexpected. Almost got to 200 sleep on the way down. Fun little game.
This game was one of the funiest I have played on this jam !
I like the inclusion of a tutorial, though I think some of it is unneeded. Like, duh- I'm going to be dodging bombs. The game was a lot of fun, I love the flailing limbs of the character, ha! Great job.
A bit hard to avoid obstacles or catch anything, but still fun to play. The swearing are really weird, but in the end, it's a fun and silly surprise! x) The whole atmosphere is very sweet. It was quite a fun entry overall, well done!
@trexxak, @retrome, @kaminos, @don-shinski, @universeflow, @flying-dog-fish, @yurikun, @joe40001, @hobzone, @100th-coin, @itooh thank you so much for playing, sharing constructive feedback and the kind words! It means a lot to us and we are incredibly happy that you enjoyed playing our game!
