very good game, entertaining and original :3
Nice game. I like the art style and the controls. The sound of falling items gets a bit annoying after a while.
Simple and neat. The umbrellas are a nice touch. I really like the controls, although I think it might have played a little better if it was portrait mode instead of landscape since that way you'd have more space to see stuff coming towards you. Nevertheless, it was actually quite addictive.
I made it past 5000!

Simple and fun game.
@naplz that was the idea, create something orignal and funny. Thanks for playing!
@owca yes, the sound of the fallen objects maybe is a little annoying, but we hope you have some fun. Thx for play!
@anaxie-studio well done! It is a great score. We made that version for LD, but we will publish in portrait soon on android. The main goal is at the ending have a game easily portable. Thanks for playing :dog:
@martinek yes, we think the same, all the mechanics are made for publish to be ported for android. Will be on the play store soon. Thanks for play!
I avoided the parasols until I got hit by one and noticed it was actually a bonus, not an obstacle xD
I enjoyed my time with this one-I always have a soft spot for games that require you to use two buttons to control a character that slides around the place to avoid obstacles. The graphics all look nice, but the audio quickly got grating personally. The music is fine, though it did start to bother me after about 3-4 minutes. The sound effects for objects falling, though, was pretty persistently annoying. I wonder if adding some randomization in the pitch for the sound effects when the objects fall off would help (though I can't tell if pitch is randomized already).
Overall, simple and fun game.
Very original and true to theme. Nice art and music. I had fun.
Perhaps allowing keyboard controls would be a nice improvement, because my wrist is sore from trying to keep Walter going over the edge!
Simple, fun swimming game! Really liked the mechanic of needing to move left or right in order to go up. Would love to see more obstacles with unique behaviors, and in general a harder progression over time. Nice work, guys! :smile:
Awesome work!
I liked this simple idea and good implementation. The controls were responsive and simple to understand. The assets are really crisp and I feel the collision was fair.
A few recommendations and notes - I think that it would have been a small amount of effort for a large amount of gain to have a few more versions of the sprites (even just rotated or colours changed) to add some variance. Additionally, a bit more visual feedback when you got hit would have been good (like a particle effect, or a quick sprite or something).
Overall, a really tight entry that achieves what it seeks to do. Thanks for submitting!
this was soo hard on a trackpad :sweat_smile:
I got confused at first. The way the controls were displayed made me think that "left click" and "right click" were "click on the left of the screen" or "click on the right of the screen", not the double mouse button. But that's probably because my game was based on side of the screen compared to the character, lol!
It was fun, I like the wacky carnival music. Umbrellas could stand out more visually as a "good" item in order to be more intuitive without having to read the description.
@papabirb same i also thought it was click "left" of the screen to go left and vice versa xD
game was fun and simple and i swear i heard some thecheeseman sounds :eyes:
Game is simple and fun, great job.
As promised, here I am. Really nice art style! I was confused for a moment with controls, but I figure it out pretty quickly. Funny game. Really enjoyable :)
I love the art style, and the music and effects were just wow, nice game :smile:
The art style is great! And the music and sound effects are well chosen (though the item falling sound does get a bit painful haha). One thing you might try is slightly randomizing the pitch of the sound effects that get repeated often. I was having the same annoyance with very repetitive sounds, and then I added one line of code before playing the sound:
``` _audioSource.pitch = UnityEngine.Random.Range(0.95f, 1.05f); _audioSource.Play(); ```
Randomizing the pitch up or down by just 5% instantly took away the repetitive pain for me.
I especially want to call out the extremely responsive controls. I was worried there might be some animation-locking or something where I can't change directions as quickly as I might want. Nope, they were perfect!
Fun game - music sounds like clown music so that gives me nightmares. I loved the addition of items, I think it could make a fun mobile game with more items, map variety, etc kinda like a temple run situation (not exactly the same though). For a game jam, it was a pretty complete package
Fun game! I loved how the art style and music worked together. Great work on putting this together so quickly!
Fantastic art and music and a really unique movement system!
Obviously the game would benefit from more difficulty over time and a greater variety of obstacles, but as is, I had fun!
My highscore:
Screen Shot 2022-04-09 at 1.22.51 PM.png
Good game easy to play but it lacks diversity in the elements to dodge so that it is less repetitive. With someting like "power-up" to recover it would make the game even more dynamic. Congratulations for this creation!
Very fun game! The interface is outstanding and I have been very hooked. It is true that I miss a little more progress in the game. I didn't know umbrellas helped me at first! Great game!
A great game with a nice gameplay loop and really repetitive SFXs. After a while i realized that the best way to survive was by just smashing my mouse and keeping my ground in the top left corner. I managed to get a score of 18974 this way and dropped only because my hand was dying.
Other than that, a really good entry! Good job!
fun game and the graphics are really cute, also it seems like it would work really well on a phone, or maybe just portrait mode in general.
really great game with fitting graphics, love how simple and fun it is, great backstory btw
we had a similar idea at the beginning, in our version we discussed a boat :smirk:
Simple but fun game! Nice audio and background music! :) I would prefer pressing the left and right arrow keys instead of mouse click.
Fun little game, reminds me of Club Penguin a lot! The gameplay was fun, the art is funny, all in all, good job!
Enjoyed it! Only, what is happening upriver?!
As other already said, some increasing difficulty could be interesting, also the music is quite anoying after some loops ^^ Keep track of the current best could be interesting to add too. But despite of all those details, it was fun ! :) Nice entry.
Nice, simple game. Really fits the theme! Once you get into it, the tempo hits an enjoyable groove. Great work!
Fun little game, I like the premise ahah
Thanks for all u guys for the tips. We are working in the mobile version, and we will implement thoses feedbacks. It of them are very important for us. Realy thank you all.
Hellow @tulio , thanks for play our game. Yeah, we don´t sinalize it very well, but we will make this on mobile version using a different pallete for bonus itens. Thanks for play!
@proxy-games tanks for play our game! we will randomize the sound in the mobile version. About your soft spot, our objective was make something easily portable for mobile, and for this we choose this input method. Thanks for play!
@gul haha, sorry about your wrist, but the controls are intended to do that :D otherwise you never will let the walterfall. We are very happy for you feedback, thanks for play!
@lectvs , I played your game and its nutts. Your game is very dense and we are very proud of your feedbacks about our little walter. Thanks a lot for play and we just loved watch someone playing our game.
@ollieoa wow, nice feebacks :D thanks a lot for that. For sure we will use that in the mobile version. Thanks for play :dog:
@ocwal kkk sorry about that. We don't think about this situation. Maybe next time we put some alternative controls . We hope you enjoied. Thanks for play.
@shreemp yeah, sorry about that. The tutorial was made in the last minutes so is not perfect. Thanks a lot!
@mlho7 thanks! your game is very impressive. I love the artstyle as I said on my review. Thanks for play.
@zimny11 haha, yeah, our tutorial is not the best one :D thanks for play!
@mhorth wow! thanks for the tips. For sure we wil use that on further versions! Thanks for play!
@quite-good sorry about the nightmares :D and yes, all the design and programming was made to be easily portable for mobile. we will make some tweks and release soon. Thanks for play!
@joshh haha thanks! One of our objectives was make something well balanced. Thanks!
@paperdomo101 wow, nice score! the biggest we received was 10k so you are very close! Yeah, we will make some aditions to the game design and we hope release soon as possible. Thanks for play!
@milq thanks for play! For sure we could make some improvement on the tutorial screen/progression. Thanks for play! Your time scale mechanic is incredible!
@zsharpfire so actually you have our best score :D thanks, I really believe your hand was dying at this point. We hope make some improvments and more sfx are on the list. Your game is awesome too!
@misfire-dev thanks for play! We will make a portable version! thanks for play! I just loved your game, for sure is a complete game for me.
@aka-black-dog thanks! we just loved your game too. The backstory is intended to be on some screens but we don´t have time :D Thanks for play
I didn't understand the function of the umbrella at first, but I soon did. It's a great game. It's simple and fun. I Can't stop playing it :D

Uma coisa que eu sugeriria é colocar desenhos representando os botões do mouse, porque de início eu também achei que era pra clicar dos lados esquerdo/direito da tela.
Hiii!
Thank you for the submission.
Cute art, fitting soundtrack (even though audio is not part of your categories, it does help set the mood, good job!), responsive controls and a somewhat addicting score chaser. I could see this working really well as a mobile game. Walterfall.PNG
I was chilling in my top left corner when out of nowhere it said game over, sadly. My fingers were tired of spamming mouseclicks at this point, I might try again later!
@wendel-scardua obrigado por jogar nosso jogo! De fato entendemos que o tutorial poderia ser melhor, e nesse ponto assumo a culpa. A última build foi para o site 5 min antes do prazo final, e foram justamente correções feitas no tutorial. A tela correta contemplava o desenho do mouse, então foi um deslize meu. Obrigado por jogar, esperamos que isso não tenha atrapalhado e que você tenha conseguido se divertir. Aliás, ótimo trabalho com sua entrada, um jogo de nes é sempre bom, e tentar algo assim é mesmo corajoso!
@kepsert thanks for play! yeah, as we know we cannot enter in audio because is not original but we take care to do the best we can. All game mechanic was designed to be portable as a mobile game, and we will work on that soon. Thanks for play!
There's a nice HC with an interesting idea. Maybe the controls could be much easier, and more understanding to what entity does what, also split into levels and some narrative on the falls (maybe around the globe). But it's just me thinking big. Overall, cool game, thanks for sharing!
