I think I never laughed that much on a jam game. Good job. I could watch those bananas move all night x)

hi, there's a lot of game here, impressive that you were able to add so much in so little time. Though the fleshed out tutorial makes it easier to understand what's going on, there's a little too much going on sometimes, making it hard to grasp what I should be doing (apart from propelling banana-folk to their demise).

Apart from that, kudos to the humor and the vibe of the game altogether.

A mix of pegle, pachinko and management. Liked it :D funny as hell :P

There's a lot of really cool ideas here, and they're all working together in surprising harmony. There's just a lot of interesting parts to the mechanics, and it creates a fun experience. It helps that the art is funny and the music is easy to listen to. I was also very surprised at the comprehensive tutorial. I didn't have the time or energy to implement a tutorial in my own game, and is one of the major problems people have had with it. It's very impressive to have so much game done. Super cool folks.

This was very funny. Reminds me of the '90's some how. :)

One of the best LD games I've played in a long while! Also, wow nuclear reactor plinko is hard!

I really have nothing substantial to criticize here.

Thank you for making a game that is both political and funny. It is very complete, the interfaces are successful, the tutorial is very pleasant, the gameplay effective. It's complete, clean, important. Thank you for this great teamwork

Holy cow! Great music in this one, too. Really fun, really polished. Thank you for making use of the CIA guy from the Dark Knight Rises, too.

Excellent writing! The graphics, music, and theme all work together nicely. Great job on putting in a tutorial. There's enough going on in the game that the tutorial really helps.

It's a funny game. It gets pretty hectic and hard to read the dialogue though. Overall a great one.

landosystems 2021-10-05 01:51

@timschnibbins so glad you caught who the CIA guy was :smile:, I was afraid it would fly under everyone's radar. Thanks for playing!

The coloured text is soo cool, I love all the different things it does!! I also really like the music.

Gameplay wise there is a lot going on, but the junk, I mean... ammo flinging is amazing haha. Although I'm pretty sure I just murdered a banana, I did laugh while I did it. This *might be bad* >.>

The angy banana mob made my night, so thank you for creating this masterpiece! The dialogue part is really well done, it looks clean :3

I had to let it explode at the end, and gotta say, it was worth it. NICE JOB everyone \o/

Great narrative design!

Props to using actual bananas!

acidicdonkey 2021-10-05 08:14

This game described in one word, is art! i cannot fault this game its beautiful!

octahedronsoftware 2021-10-05 09:04

Nice graphics, music, sound and humour. There was only one thing that bothered me, I would have liked more of a response when successfully hitting a cooland rod.

arthur-mairs 2021-10-05 09:05

VIVA LA POTASSIUM! I loved this, it was super fun, and hilarious! I enjoyed the overall look of the game, and the mechanics!

tayteus 2021-10-05 09:16

It took me so much time to read all we need to understand. But finally it was fun ! I liked the humor ! ;)

cituchi 2021-10-05 09:36

very interesting to play, rough graphics, cool idea and an interesting solution to the topic. Bananas are super!) Asuka did her best)

pythorogus 2021-10-05 11:28

Pretty fun to play and to watch, interesting managing and angry birds gameplay xD Loved it !

duskel 2021-10-05 11:29

Music, ambiance, humour, it's a fun game ! :D

jepjoh2 2021-10-05 11:31

Your references are out of control!

Awesome game

alex-belikov 2021-10-05 11:40

Hey you did a good job with this game! Very enjoyable and fun! I wish instructions were simplier though)

heho 2021-10-05 11:49

really funny game, had a great laugh playing it.

alexascher 2021-10-05 11:55

A very strange and hilarious game. How did you even come up with this? This is a really good job, thank you guys!

yagovictor 2021-10-05 18:03

I really liked the idea, I found it very interesting

goddoesplaydice 2021-10-06 11:48

Very high quality and well-developed game. I didn't understand how to save the power plant, but it was still interesting to watch what was happening. The music and graphics are very good. The creators even came up with a small story describing what is happening.

rumor 2021-10-06 17:01

Awesome game - little bit of Peggle, little bit of Angry Birds, and a whole lot of originality to bring it together. The humor and style are top-notch, too!

kraghan 2021-10-06 19:14

Honestly : Perfect ! GG to the team :) Nothing really relevant to add, it was fun and I had a great time !

strangeryann 2021-10-07 16:31

That made me giggle - loved it ^^#

I got this far on 2nd try landoHS_ld49.png

Love the humour and graphics of your games - keep it up :slight_smile:

Only extra thing it could use is a **retry** button on the end screen :wink:

Keep it up yall :grinning:

I’ve never had more fun being set up to fail at running a nuclear power plant, and I don’t think I ever will.

It didn’t seem like it was really possible to do a good job of keeping the reactor rods down, but it was hilarious to try. So many extra little humorous details thrown in – the bananas for gauges, the fact that occasionally a banana would get launched into the reactor (and the sound effect), even the banana guy that walks out the door when you click Exit…

intodarkness 2021-10-08 10:33

Very funny game. I love it . it really respect the theme . Good Job !

lelulagames 2021-10-09 01:52

This was pretty amazing. It felt so polished. I kept running out of money, of course, but that's okay. I loved the banana hammock.

rayredd 2021-10-10 07:11

So much content for a Jam Game. Incredible. Really funny and you nailed the fun mechanics.

rewzu 2021-10-19 13:20

Very humorous and fun art style! Graphics and audio are great! Quite fun mechanics and narrating. Great job!

dreamerflow 2021-10-21 09:28

Great and funny! good work!

solah 2021-10-21 11:41

Very great game! It is hard but really fun! The sounds and musics are great it was cool to have a real tutorial to understand everything, well done!
