Love the idea of different minigames for different stats! I think making game harder(maybe by making stats decrease faster) woulb be a good idea

vishwah 2021-10-04 14:02

Dude you UI is not responsive half of your UI is off the screen did you check the game after you built Tip: In your Canvas select Scale with Screen size

chacawott 2021-10-04 14:27

@vasuka thanks for your feedback :) stats decrease faster every 60s, but maybe it's too long you right. We'll balance this point this evening happy that you're enjoy our game ^^

chacawott 2021-10-04 14:31

@vishwah, yes we check the game after the built of course, but we noticed just this morning this problem on an other computer. We'll fix it this evening after work:) We hope you'll retry the game after that... Thanks for the tip ;)

Nice little game, although I noticed the bars still going down, despite almost flawlessly doing the minigames. The little 4 key memory game seemed properly balanced, but it would've been nice for the other minigames to have been a bit faster. Had fun :)

I like the design of Groudou. The minigames are cool, though they're incredibly easy and it doesn't seem to ramp up in difficulty (or it's very slow at it). I love the voice acting, ha! Very fun. Nice work.

notapollogising 2021-10-06 19:26

lol this is a very creative entry not the most polished but I honestly think that gives it a lot of charm, very intriguing game. I enjoyed it. Also the minigames were decently done.

bridgefromtv 2021-10-06 19:27

Really cute game! I love the creature and the idea. I could do with a little more guidance in the minigames, like a little pop-up tutorial to tell how to play each one? And some feedback when you refill the gauges successfully would be helpful too. I like the music you picked and laughed out loud when Groudou went Super Saiyan! xD Really cute game and good effort!

Too much delay after Space Bar battle.

magicstunts123 2021-10-06 19:30

Love that voice acting! The idea with 3 different minigames is cool. And the recovery option makes the game a bit more forgiving(which is not a bad thing because the bar gets more difficult too). I like it. :)

chacawott 2021-10-06 20:04

hello @kimberly , thanks for your feebacks.The bars decrease faster every 40s. Point taken for the difficulty, there several of you said that some minigames are too easy , we'll try to balance this at the end of the rate. Happy you spend good time with Groudou :)

chacawott 2021-10-06 20:06

hello @100th-coin thank you very much for your feedback, the difficulty increase every 40s and when the bars are too low, but we'll try to balance this at the end of the LD. Happy you have fun with Groudou (and his pretty voice ;) )

chacawott 2021-10-06 20:08

@notapollogising thank you so much for this nice review from the bottom of Groudou's heart <3

chacawott 2021-10-06 20:13

Hi @bridgefromtv thank you very much ^^ It's suppose to be a sound to notice you that you succeded , but it's maybe not loud enough, we'll fix it. Noted for the tutorial, it's a very good idea. Happy you like Groudou and his evolution ;)

chacawott 2021-10-06 20:15

@alex-chertilin thanks for your feeback, sorry for that, we'll try to fix it after the LD. We hope you spend a good time anyway :)

chacawott 2021-10-06 20:17

Hey @magicstunts123 thank you very much for this nice review <3 happy you enjoy it and spend good time with our sweet little Groudou .

It's a neat little game. A bit like the tamagotchi.

juniora 2021-10-07 19:47

really liked the game concept! a light Wario Ware vibe with the manic switching game modes, curious on how you went about the brain game mode

13x666 2021-10-07 19:49

So it's an accelerated Tamagotchi kind of deal :D Switching between different mini-games to fill the progress bars is a fun take on instability. I could see an issue with the green minigame design: once you switch to it, you have to wait for the first arrow to reach the line, and it takes too long for how dynamic the game is. You're pulled out of the loop and have to waste time waiting while the other progress bars keep falling. I think making the games more “immediately accessible” would be beneficial.

The voice acting was impeccable!

chacawott 2021-10-07 20:01

Thanks @tosmaster :)

@juniora thank you your review, we're happy you spent good time with Groudou :)

Thank you for your feedbacks @13x666 we'll try to fix that at the end of the LD, happy you like the Voices ;)

alyd-asmar 2021-10-07 22:08

Nice little game :smile: it's fun to play once or twice, the sounds are funny, and it fits the theme, well, perfectly. I see someone's already mentioned the green minigame issue. So sad I couldn't get to 10 000. Untitledd.png

codeman1010 2021-10-09 21:34

I could not figure out the blue potion, but that is likely my fault, great game though!

chainsawmcd 2021-10-12 18:26

I love minigames. I struggled to get the blue one to work though. Thanks for sharing!

simonl 2021-10-12 18:41

The game was a round package, the music was not bad, the graphics were not bad, the game mechanics were not bad as well. But on the other hand were all sections not exceptional either.

You did well on the balancing though, the game felt challenging and got even more, the further one progressed.

All in all, I'd say solid submission :)

loiclegrosfrere 2021-10-13 02:16

I have some difficults to regen red and green bars, as I can't be faster than the game ! (I think ?)

animawish 2021-10-17 22:36

please don't be angry groudou, i'm not very good at DDR :sob: nice game! choosing when to switch between the minigames was an interesting tradeoff.

chacawott 2021-10-19 18:17

alyd-asmar 2021-10-20 21:29

@datadazer I just tried to hit 11,000 again and omg you must've hit that bar so fast :rofl:

datadazer 2021-10-20 22:29

@alyd-asmar I had to lock up my elbow and force the feeling in my arm to shake reflexively lol. That Groudou sure mashes spacebar fast!
