Lmao at the guy's flowerpots. Pretty fun concept, and good execution! I can only imagine having to record the voice sound effect though lol

musaspacecadet 2022-04-05 07:17

well when the my phone starts falling ,there ain't nothing i can do about it . this game is nuts (in a good way) and fun

golin 2022-04-05 08:25

@ordineu @musaspacecadet Thanks for playing!

zombiebust3r 2022-04-05 08:32

This gives me flashbacks to those moments where you frantically try to stop your phone from falling but ultimately fail hahaha. Great game!

dogesquad 2022-04-05 11:23

Haha it was so fun (and relatable). The theme incorporation is fantastic, the art and sfx are neat and the gameplay is solid (tho it gets a bit boring fast). Well done!

ironcutter 2022-04-05 12:33

Really fun, I'd like to play a mobile version... I could probably just launch my phone for that

raul-pla 2022-04-05 14:24

Great game!

golin 2022-04-05 16:28

@dogesquad Indeed, I actually thought about this problem before so I added dialogs and different obstacles. But everytime you fail you have to start over and due to the difficulty, most players could only get to around 1000m, so it's very frustrating. Like I made a outer space ending if you reached 5000m but nobody could get that far. So maybe I should made it into different levels or set check points.

Of all the games I've played on LD50 this one probably made me laugh the hardest. Well don't.

edudelm 2022-04-05 17:41

Great game! Such a funny one too. The only catch for me is that the background made me feel a bit motion sick. But it's a great concept and execution, well done!

weewsa 2022-04-05 17:45

It is interesting and unusual, but over time the gameplay gets boring.

arhidavid 2022-04-05 18:47

Very relatable! I love this take on classic pinball machines. My score is 479.

kaljal 2022-04-05 19:05

Time to buy a new phone. Neat idea btw goodjob

shawn-beck 2022-04-05 23:55

I'll never unsee this common struggle as just IRL pinball now.

artilor901z 2022-04-06 05:00

Interesting theme! It really lead me to think of the relationship between me and my phone. Impressive

fredrik-rosell 2022-04-06 10:18

What a smart and simple theme! Well done!

evilsock 2022-04-06 10:25

Interesting Game and Cool Art. Congratulation with game!

fusionnist 2022-04-06 10:30

What can I say, this game feels complete. Fun, simple, works well, looks good and even has a bit of story elements. Goof stuff!

roitchie 2022-04-06 11:30

Laughed at the dialogue of the NPCs. Very interesting game and one of the more unique takes on the theme i've seen.

dusho 2022-04-06 18:07

unity webGL build seems to be stuck at 90% loading - I think I had the same, fixed by ticking compression fallback in build settings

jean-francois 2022-04-06 18:30

Stuck at about 90% too :/

allax 2022-04-06 18:30

Great game! Fells very polished. The only thing missing is some background music. Ducks broke my phone

lichead-studio 2022-04-06 18:35

This game is so well made that i cant imagine how you managed to polish it in a short time

pipelinks 2022-04-07 05:16

web build doesn't seem to be working for me ]: the loading bar gets stuck at like 95%, i don't have windows so i can't really play it, but i'll definitely give it a try if you ever fix it!

tsugumi 2022-04-07 05:37

I really like this game. Web version didn't work for me though. I had fun playing the Exe version.

-- The building is 1700m in height.

-- Two arms feel weird, which is funny in performance.

-- Consider adding an online leader board? I'm curious about how high people can go.

golin 2022-04-07 08:01

@dusho It worked! Thank you so much for the tip! @tsugumi Yes I should have made an online leader board but I realized this after the jam so sadly I can't add new features now :( (or maybe I can as long as I mark it…?) @jean-francois @pipelinks WebGL version fixed now!

jean-francois 2022-04-07 09:50

@golin thanks :) very funny I like the idea

pipelinks 2022-04-07 13:18

fun game! managed to get all the way to space on my second attempt, loved all the extra obstacles on the way there!

flipflop77 2022-04-09 12:21

haha the random guy falling down was great. the humour was on point! the game was well developed but i kept fumbling over my own hands and thought maybe some lame-happy elevator music would have been the cherry on the cake. Great stuff!

Hello! Thank you guys so much for playing my game and giving feedback to me. I had just added a leaderboard to my game. So why don't you play it again to see if you can do better than others?

hawkin 2022-04-12 01:33

This was too hilarious. Pinball but with floppy arms and a precious device? Falling potted plants and people?? Too funny. I appreciated the full attention to detail you put in, as you even got to airplans and space and asteroids. I got to the end, so maybe it was a bit too easy? But that's 100% fine for a game jam so that I could appreciate everything you added :) Great job!

Gess it's me drunk trying to scroll on reddit during pee time :). Simple but fun game, sometime physics is a bit weird but hey, I'm drunk anyway ^^. Keep coding !

sonictimm 2022-10-08 16:07

Deceptively fun. Took me a while to figure out I could double tap the arm buttons for more power, but I do risk knocking the phone out of the gameplay screen and losing it! LOL at the concept and the execution, great job. Also, I'm really impressed you added a working leaderboard! Once I read thru the comments I had to get inf.

A safety glass saves the day in these situations.
