a very cute game!

2021-10-04 22:24

Very nice !

2021-10-04 22:34

This game is very funny and soundtracks are awesome :) I like it

leumas 2021-10-05 07:52

Very nice game! Enjoyed it a lot :)

salaen 2021-10-05 07:56

liked it. little easy, but very fun. Love the reference.

maybe the spawn animation only once per level and not after a retry?

Anyway. 4/5

sayurinyooko 2021-10-05 08:06

Good game! It's for fun and logic of course, but it's so also about unstability :smiley:

callupe 2021-10-05 09:03

Thanks everyone for your reviews We played it after the jam and we have noticed that the respawn of the ball at each try took too much time, but it was already too late :) Happy to see you liked our game !

aknavj 2021-10-05 11:06

Nice logic game about unstability :) LOVE IT!

hobzone 2021-10-05 13:22

Nice game, cool art. But having at each level the zoom in and out of the camera to see the ball's spawning is quite annoying. Especially when you retry multiple time the same level.

megamasterx 2021-10-05 13:31

Overall a fun game! Congratulations to the team on a good entry.

lucas-kauff 2021-10-05 18:03

wow! I really enjoyed playing. nice use of the theme and brilliant level design which forces the player to have a good timing. well done

slimmerburger 2021-10-05 19:46

I could definitely see this as a fun phone game, the art was really cool and the puzzles were smart, not much more I can say, well done :)

This is such a charming game. The well-designed gorilla character in the background and the jungle music give this a very nice cohesive feeling, and gives it a lot of character to boot. It fits the theme well, with well-designed levels that must be shifted and moved around to get slime into a test tube. This is a well-polished game, and I could honestly see this as a mobile game due to the portrait orientation.

rayredd 2021-10-06 07:51

I finished ALL the levels! There are very few games I play to the end but this was genuinely really fun! Great game mechanics and super sound. Very well done!

ruofusun 2021-10-06 07:57

The level design has some variations and some nice progression feelings! Also really enjoy the sound effect of this game.

bgdc 2021-10-06 08:01

This would probably be one of the best games i've played in this game jam, the level design is well thought out and i like how you introduce the gameplay, it's very intuitive. The only improvements i would like to see is an option to turn on BGM at all times and a slider to adjust it's volume, i really like it :laughing:

2021-10-06 08:11

Ce jeu a changé ma vie

orangutanrider 2021-10-06 09:10

Really good. You could probably make this into a real game.

Something that I found annoying was how the camera would zoom in on the ball spawn every time you restart a level.

nebiros 2021-10-06 09:18

Nice puzzle game ! I always like playing with physics ! Also great job on the UI and animations

dobrila 2021-10-06 09:28

very fun polished game ! great job for bringing this to such a nice level in such short time! played till the end !

wakobu 2021-10-06 10:12

Congrats ! One of the best entries I saw so far ! The only annoying thing is that it takes to long to retry a puzzle (because of the cutscene)

hadik 2021-10-06 10:21

Percetly match theme. I want the draw as good as you. I like that audio, very good. Good and inovative game, good work. As mobile game this can be interesting, because it is very fun. Overall game is very very good, it is very good work, I love it.

brainloaf-studio 2021-10-06 10:24

Really fun puzzles with a unique mechanic, nice! I also love the sound design, especially the victory noise. The animations and 'looking through a camera' look was done super well too. Great work!

ilokimo 2021-10-06 10:34

Nice work, everyone. This seems like a full package. I would introduce half height pillar box as well quiet early in the design. While new element appeared in the levels I felt doing the same challenge over and over (and it was fun).. That was my 2 cents!

nanda-sbr 2021-10-06 13:06

Really funny ! I like it and it fit perfectly to the theme !

fancyreckless 2021-10-06 14:06

Fun puzzle game, I really like that you had kind of a backstory with a monkey, made it so much more enjoyable with background and sounds. I would love to see faster respawn time as restarting was a bit slow. Levels were interesting and there was the right amount of them for a jam. The theme was used as well.

Note: I played Android version.

hiisileiri 2021-10-06 14:36

Nice concept, but there are not much to do but balance the ball. Puzzles are not very complex while the player has only 3 block each side. For boxes there could be pistons the player would lower (or even raise). There would be more animations and feedback from successes or hitting solids. This is would be good start for the real android release, but seems to need some polishing. Fine Jam Game though, and possibility be much more

callupe 2021-10-06 15:06

@hiisileiri Thank you very much for the feedback, the blocks to destroy vary after a while but it's true that you have to go through several levels before you get a variation. We love the idea of the pistons and will keep it in mind if we continue the project.

rolly 2021-10-06 15:08

Very nice take on the theme, it is a simple interpretation, but so far for the games I played, it was the first time. And you made a very good implementation of it ;)

I would avoid a level with the same colors for teleporters, you turn a puzzle game into a "die and retry" game and it only brings frustration.

The visuals are good and the music pretty nice.

Very nice entry, nice work ;)

parttimeindie 2021-10-06 15:38

This is pretty cool, I wonder how you got it so that the ball goes in so well, I always felt I got lucky and that the ball went in with way fewer block destructions than I thought I would need.

as-you-like-101 2021-10-06 17:04

the music was pretty nice !!

lonewookie 2021-10-06 17:27

Great work! I love playing Android games for Ludum Dare! It played great on my phone! Very cool puzzle mechanics that fit the theme perfectly! I noticed a couple bugs (such as sounds playing repeatedly at one point, and the "replay" button taking me to the last level instead of the one I was on) but other than that this was a great experience. Great art too! Is this the character from Overwatch?

spudboy 2021-10-07 03:33

Played it on Android. Great job making a phone game for Lufum Dare. The background art is nice. The length of the restart animation is a problem, but other folks have said that already.

callupe 2021-10-07 06:17

Hello @rolly Thank you for your opinion. It is true that a system to skip a level would have been a good idea, especially since the frustration of zooming in and out amplifies the desire to skip the level. We keep the idea in mind

callupe 2021-10-07 06:22

Hello @lonewookie We are very happy to know that you have tested the game on Android, the experience was designed for this device. Indeed we noticed the music problem (don't say it too loudly, it's me who took care of the music integration part, so the bug is my fault aha) However we did not find the bug with the restart button. Indeed the restart button loads the old level but it allows to replay the level change animation. We will check this. At first we wanted a monkey, and finally we thought of the character from Overwatch. It's a reference and we were inspired by it but we didn't copy it (we don't have the rights aha) Thanks for your feedback

Excellent game! Good difficulty curve, too
