Really cool, I enjoyed how linear the progression was.

Really cool, I enjoyed how linear the progression was.
Real Katamari vibes. Very polished, amazing work. You should rate other games so that you get ratings.
Very beautiful graphics and cool mechanics! Great job! The drawing reminded me of Pokemon, I don't know why) Tree colors? Propeller ball?
I like the level transition. Pretty funny when you start collecting clouds, satellites and meteors.
This game may start slow, but it gets awesome fast :grin: I really liked how the game progressed, transitioning to a different point of view and extending walls of my machine. And I totally loved when it all flipped on its head for a while!
The fact that the machine moves lower and slower as it gets filled up is a very nice touch. Visuals are great and so is the music. The game is short but fuuuuuun. What more can you ask of a jam game? Three thumbs up!
I have only one improvement suggestion - it would be nice if we could actually see the height number after the camera zooms out. Maybe put it in the corner, or just scale every time we zoom out.
Funny trash bin simulator. But after certain point it laggys a lot
Actually started out quite tricky, but once the first section is over it's just so much fun seeing the random drops and events come in. Really enjoyed playing this one, good job!
Enjoyed playing it! Fits the theme very well and i liked the music :)
Nice game with fun music and good art... the only things that i didnt like was the aspect ratio beeing weird for a web build but that might just be broken for me and that it was to easy after i realized that the meteors werent even a threat ^^ We had a similar game idea in mind but ours is brutally hard ;-P Still pretty nice game! Well done!
- @ucsbdad , thank you for your feedback, we tried to make the intensity up step by step, but it was not easy ^^ - @maxathon , thanks, it's good to hear that. We gonna rate other games this week (including yours), we didn't have time last week. - @alina-baybulatova Thank you!! I let @ptitbouchon answers where comes from his drawing inspiration :p - @nikl Yes, we imagine it in the middle of the conception and we found it cool for growing up the game intensity. Thanks for your comment! - @fabula-rasa , thank you for your comment!!! it's a pleasure to hear that! The flip is an idea of @ptitbouchon I really like that, but sometimes the flip doesn't appear because of the randomness. Yes we would like to make the game short, as it is our first time to play with physics objects. For the height, we start printing a number, but we thought it was not a necessary information. We might have a end line to inform where the game ends, but the time was running ^^ - @alex-chertilin Thanks for the feedback, yes, the physics becomes "unstable" ahah ^^, no actually we didn't have time to optimize the physics computations. For example we could make the bounding boxes of the falling objects more simple to reduce the collision computations impact. - @animalx thanks!! At the beginning there was no arm of the machine, but it was quite complicated to make it growing up. The arms make the game easy, but the difficulty was not the purpose at the end :) - @seskon I really enjoy the music , it is thanks to @avzgui, it fits with this "wtf" game ahah ^^ . Thank you for your comment. - @croped I gonna play your then!! I'm curious ! Thank you for your comment, the ratio is not the ideal for landscape screen, but the picture in back ground is hand made and not really scalable, it is why we have made this choice.
The lack of context is what really makes the humor work: you are collecting random objects that fall from some weird machine and evidently cause clouds and meteors to fall down as well. I agree that on late stages it starts to get laggy, but otherwise it's really fun!
Well, some cool twists happened here. :)
Though I could use a bit more interactions with objects, like meteors explode and throw back the progress, so the player should avoid them.
Nice game! Good art ind music, easy to understand what to do
It was fun! Got confused when it switched on me but it was still super fun!
A nice game. As others have said, the transitions where cool. Good Job!
it's good game i like how you progress with your rise
Wow that was great! Didn't expect this game to take such a turn. But I am glad that I stuck with it to the end. Reminds me somehow of games like frog fractions. Very unusual aspect ratio but I think it fits the unusual game :) Maybe only complaint I have is that there could be a bit more of a game to it ;)
Fun Game! I like the escalation it takes! Kinda reminded me of the cookie clicker escalation! Good job!
- @cookie-chr, @leyamez, @yanamoe , @vetche-studio, @asencioflorian Thanks a lot for your comments!! - @areywarlord Thank you for your suggestion. We would like to add more events and balance a little bit more the gameplay, but at the same time we want the game finished quite enough fast. - @sibi Thanks for your comment, wa started by a more difficult gameplay with no arm around the machine, but as we saw the physics is kinf of random sometimes, we chose to make it easy for the jam, and not discourage players :)
Okay, that made me laugh!
The screen breaking effect was impressive. I didn’t see any seams beforehand.
A great stress test of Godot's 2D physics! The progression was fun and humorous; I chuckled when the height marker suddenly became part of my pile of stuff! I liked how the theme was incorporated both at the level of "make an unstable tower" but also the entire game being unstable, especially at the end when everything collapses. A nice entry!
Hilarious!
Wow, this is definitively the most unstable game I saw in this jam! I can even go out of the screen limit! Good concept but I felt like everything just felt from my machine. Sometimes I manage to catch a wardrobe, but it felt a few seconds later. Had fun with the wacky physics ^^
Thank you @hellequinne @marc-jones @bunnybones @jonathan-lorenz for your comments, it's really cool to read all this positive feedbacks. @jonathan-lorenz, yeah you are right, the physics of the objects are perfectible 🙂. The time was running, but we learned from this game about physics and I hope we will use this experience for next times.
Love for every creators of this jam who show kindness and constructive feedbacks.
Fun twist on the ever-popular "stacking" genre from this jam! Really fun to play :)
Nice work!
