Absolutely hilarious! Love the creativity.

Hard, funny, and fun!

Difficult, but I really like the style and the originality! It would be nice if there was a "free play" mode where you could practice the controls (maybe the sack could bounce off the ground instead of causing a game over in this mode). The "record high" in the attached video is really impressive! It's cool that it's possible to master the game to that degree.

The **inevitable force of gravity** was too much for me to handle! This is a really fun idea though regardless of my *inability* to ***"hack"*** the ***"sack"*** for very long :laughing: I especially loved the record scratch music. Im sending this to a friend of mine right now who would love it. Thank you for the great submission!

Super difficult but incredibly innovative. The way the controls moved the legs is really something I haven't seen before in games.

It's difficult but very fun and nicely executed!

Loved it, the background track is frikkin excellent and it reminds me of the katamari games. Everything about it kinda reminds me of being at uni, I wonder why ^_^

Lots of fun even for a single player. Reminds me of QWOP or Hand Simulator. Enjoyed the music as well!

Oh no, the QWOP flashbacks are triggering my PTSD! Hilarous entry.

I have one important improvement request: please make the game restart on pressing space. For a game that you play with two hands on the keyboard, and have to restart every 5 seconds, it's annoying that you have to scramble for the mouse every time.

My best was 4.

A bit on the hard side, but really fun! Took me some time to understand the controls. Cool music :D

Music and graphics are great and the game fits the theme very well - unfortunately, I lost motivation very quickly, because I had the impression that the ball was often passing through the legs :/

This feels like a game I would've played on freeonlinegames or miniclip in like 2006 (which is a good thing)

While the difficulty of the game is part of its appeal, I think you should make it easier to start. Maybe have the sack floating in front of the legs to start off. I had trouble just starting the game because having the sack just drop straight down and not keep its momentum when you start was kind of hard to get used to

This game is a throwback to a simpler time...

This game is incredibly goofy, very difficult, but also rewarding when you get a good rhythm going. I felt that the sound effects were rather obnoxious, however. There isn't that much more I can say. Well, it's a very good entry, just for the humor factor! Great job!

kekondev 2022-04-09 02:16

Very QWOP-like and addicting fun. The music and the sound effects are great too. Would have liked pressing Space to restart the game instead of Enter to get back into the game faster and play more.

The hit box on the foot was a little small but I eventually adapted somewhat. The best I could get was 62 for a record high, but it says record high every time I play—not sure if bug or joke. Don't know if there's an Easter egg for hitting 420 and don't think I'll ever find out.

I was hooked with the "Oh yeah" at the start, but sadly the gameplay was not really smooth and fairly frustrating as the ball was not hit by the foot/leg when I thought it should have.

daniel-username 2022-04-09 15:10

Funny and unique concept! I had trouble with the controls though. If those were tightened up I feel like you could have a really addictive game on your hands.

nate-bit-games 2022-04-10 23:16

Thanks everyone for playing and all the great feedback!

Definitely plan on working on this further after the jam with these suggestions. Plan on tightening up the controls and adding in some hit zone markers on the feet and knees to make it more clear where you have to hit the sack and will see if that enhances the gameplay while still trying to keep the difficulty and fun factor. Any further feedback as it develops or in its current state is more than welcome and appreciated :)

That was an interesting take on the theme! It wasn't easy, but it was neat to try, well done!

Music so cool! Funny game! I like it! Good job!

goldenxd 2022-04-20 03:35

Amazing game overall!

I loved the innovation and humor in this game. Making a game funny and fun at the same time is hard, but this pulls it off really well. Definitely one of the best humor games I have played.

I think the graphics are really good too! While they are somewhat quirky, the background is actually quite nice, and the UI is well done. The particle animations around the ball and text are a really nice tough too.

The music is fantastic. It really adds so much to the humor and fun of the game. It is so satisfying when the ball is hit and the nice sound plays. Nice touch.

Overall, very enjoyable game. A lot of fun to play and just to watch! Good job, and congrats for finishing the Ludum Dare!
