This game was oddly addicting. I didn't expect to play a game about Dwayne the Rock Johnson floating on a cloud babysitting children and also for some odd reason enjoy it as much as I did. The gameplay was fantastic, great job!
It's cute and a fun concept, but I wasn't sure how to manipulate the three emotions. Also, destroying the buildings dropped rocks on everyone and then people fell out of the buildings... I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with them. Still, fun and I'm assuming I'm just missing something to get a better score.
This game is hilarious! Really liked your idea!
Thanks for the WebGL upload! Delaying the inevitable societal collapse as The Rock is quite a funny premise. However, I honestly do not know what to do except spam rocks to "perma stun" the people in order to prevent them from becoming unhappy If i try playing without this "hack" the people just end up spontaneously exploding very quickly.
high score: 123! I'm not sure what happened but it was a lot of fun...how did they get guns?!?!?
The concept is really interesting, nice and fun characters! Playing it in 2D platform way was a bit frustrating as I couldn't select the ones I wanted.
Great game! It was pretty fun, and I really liked the audio! Very interesting concept as well, made for a really fun and humorous experience. I did find things a bit confusing though, I ended up just throwing everyone off the cliff that had a not so good-looking speech bubble. I really liked the game, though! Well done!
What a great idea for the game! My highscore is 101 It's hard to look for buildings and the citizens at the same time:D
It was a little unclear to me at first how I was supposed to play it, but after a while I figured it out. I really like the humor of this game
Interesting concept, not sure if there was anything I could do to make things better or if that's just the timeline you had set in the game for everything to collapse. Pretty humerous.
I didn't get the point at first but after I lost for the first time, I just wanted to replay and experiment with it. I made a high score of 172, my strategy was to separate angry/swearing/sad peoples with the normal guys and it actually worked for a time. It is really innovative and weirdly addicting. Good job! Now I will experiment with it more :v:
Really solid concept. Funny game art, and nice little gameplay loop ! :) Well done.
@karahan This is exactly what I was going for! Ideally I wanted people to play it the first time, see what did not work, why people died and correlate it with different events, eventually creating a strategy to keep everyone alive!
@blizzsuxx I noticed this problem when one of my friends was playtesting and found a similar bug, I attempted to resolve this by making people angry when a rock hits nearby them. Let me know if you have any solutions or new feature ideas!
@enjaku There are several ways to manipulate their feelings, normally negatively, whereas the best way to control them is to "eliminate the weak" or people prone to strong emotions, and wait till a therapist falls out of a building if your lucky.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR FEEDBACK!!! I appreciate it greatly and was hoping for this game to be a type of learning-esk game, shooting for a problem solving approach to get people thinking as to how they could stop a mass genocide!
Haha that was amazing! :laughing:
I knew this was going to be humorous from the moment you told me what your game was, but I was not expecting it to be this funny! After each round I was just sitting in my seat shaking with laughter!
I can confirm that the people are, indeed, very fragile. I picked up one lady and dropped her from the top of the screen; and she splatted. Oddly satisfying!
A couple notes: On my first round, there were two identical names (which I assume was unintentional) screenshot.png Also, on one round the audio for the lady telling me that I failed didn't play.
Besides that, it seemed to be not very buggy. Good job!
