Love this idea such a unique game and a good take on the theme too.

Well that's a fairly radical solution to such a problem, and all I can say is: "Shit..." - It actually made me laugh out loud when I accidentally shot the poor lad!

Other then that, the main issue with the game is that it's repetitive. At some point I just ended up actively trying to shoot the son instead of the bad things. I think it could be improved with a side objective like an easter egg hunt or some extra targets.

@vectrex28 Thank you for your feedback, we thought about it. But unfortunately there was not enough time for additional materials.

I feel like the game becomes a little bit repetitive after a few tries, but overall is an interesting idea. I laughed with the "shit" hahahaha

"shit" ahah, well it's only a son, funny point of view of the theme, well done.

This game is a very clever idea IMO, it made me laugh a few times. :) would kill my son again 10/10

poor son can't have a break.. Even his birthdays sounds like an ambulance. looking good in his 50s though. It would be fun if he had to call his father sometimes, even though he's always busy. Or if he had friends in his house with all the props to shoot at. But seriously, your idea is great I would say that voxel furniture and pixel fireplace add to inconsistency, don't you think?

volkolak 2022-04-05 11:35

@dangribanovsky Thanks! Indeed, there would be more time, we would like to add more cool features, maybe even add a storyline. We decided to add a fireplace to dilute the atmosphere in the apartment a little.

Love the graphics and his funny walk cycle, its a pretty unique game, I'd agree with the others that it gets a bit repetitive though. My favorite part is the sound design. Good job.

Never saw a game with such a idea, looks great. Great game.

jk5000 2022-04-05 12:56

The idea is fun, and I did have fun trying the game. It's really difficult hit anything else but the son. But overall an interesting jam game.

Great game. I accidentally shot him.

vitor-milioni 2022-04-05 16:17

Honestly i wasn't expecting it, but it ended up being a really really fun game, it's simple, straight to the point, and very very funny. It's not the prettiest or best sounding game here, but it made me laugh, i had a very good time. Would love to be able to adjust the sensitivity though, and from what i saw he only carried things from left to right, would be cool if it was random, or also if he could be carrying healthy things and you had to identify if you had to shoot first, and then hit the shot. But i digress, great entry man, congrats!

Really fun and simple game, but maybe too slow for my liking. Ended up killing him just because. +1 for voxel bong.

liubovp 2022-04-06 09:47

It's fun

taran95 2022-04-06 16:38

really fun game but maybe a bit repetitive. Well done!

jesse-martin 2022-04-06 17:41

I shot him it wasn't an accident, second play through denied him a cake for his 80th, he was in excellent health through. Gameplay gets a bit repetitive

mrevilguy 2022-04-07 01:00

Snipe shooting a glass bong out of someone's hands through a window is something I never thought I'd do in a video game. Excellent work. Also liked the atmosphere, music, and graphical style.

senso 2022-04-07 18:06

Nice scene you got here funny story. Did make me smile :)

krakadushka 2022-04-07 18:07

Wow it is a really good idea, I like it! To be honest it is the most unique game that I have seen in that jam. I really like the theme implamentation in your game. But yeah I agree with upper comments in a point of repetative. So I think if you add some extra tasks like choices (shoot it or shoot smth other), or maybe main character should sometimes look in other windows so it would be more interesting. But still great job!

ldp 2022-04-10 17:14

The concept here is really funny and smart. Unfortunately it's hard to go very far without just staying at the same position and shoot every object with the good timing. But it's a really strong basis if you'd like to continue the game. I can imagine, more windows with different things to shoot, more complex "routine" with several characters that make you "learn" how everyone is behaving. There's definitively a great potential with this idea!

easyluckygem 2022-04-12 08:49

Nice idea! Fits the theme perfectly. Fun and intresting game. Great work!

bruhohoho 2022-04-12 15:24

I absolutely love the humor here. The graphics are also very good, and the audio suits them well. As a result, the mood of the game is really great. Last but not least, this was one of the most unique games I've played so far. It's really cool that you've taken the theme in this direction. Overall, two thumbs up :)

yusovv 2022-04-13 18:30

Very funny and interesting! Good job!

specturnal 2022-04-15 11:31

Yes son is finally winning, age 80+ with good health :joy:

I wonder if there is a different ending, cause I shot every birthday cake by instinct :laughing: love the candles spell "LD" for the 50y/o cake, cool easter egg. It was too repetitive and time-consuming for me to play another run without shooting any cakes though, but I gotta say this game is very unique and a lot of the interactions are smooth and satisfying.

4ahizon 2022-04-21 01:24

Cool idea of a game. It reminds me of a game called SpyParty but instead you illuminate bad things exposed to the son. Very fun and hilarious game. Good job

andale-visser 2022-04-21 12:19

Not sure if it was just my system, but the controls felt overly sensitive and the reaction time of the gun a bit slow. The idea was really innovative, though. Thank you for a great game!

xjcl 2022-04-21 12:53

I like the idea and the graphics, and how you can fully move around and even shoot into the second window if you miss in the first window

It does really need a difficulty ramp, with the son going faster for example or consuming smaller objects. Also the health is confusing -- it stays on "excellent" after your first slip-up and is "average" right until the son dies, just putting X/7 would be less confusing.
