This is hilarious. Concept, audio, gameplay is all great

jackaljk 2022-04-04 19:22

Thank you @jared-lomangino!

Wow this was just terribly silly and I couldn't stop giggling :laughing: Well done!

lobo-iberico 2022-04-05 20:14

hahahahaha very good game.

That all the sounds are with the voice makes it very special. Very funny, and for God's sake, let no one drink more lemonade!

mcmuniz 2022-04-05 20:18

Really silly which I loved. Overall the gameplay was simple but it did what it needed to really well. I think the only thing I noticed was that it was sometimes difficult to tell exactly when a house fire was extinguished, but that's a pretty small thing. Good job!

wondry 2022-04-05 20:22

ha ha ha, audio and idea are hilarious

fireslash 2022-04-05 20:24

Love the concept. The dialogue is lovely and the voice acting is on point.

Around the ~5m mark the meter starts requiring constant clicking, which was the point I sort of stopped since it aggravates my wrist; but it looks like you can just hold the- uh- *divine rain* over a single house and basically never lose; so the the final boss more that than the fire itself.

Great work!

jackaljk 2022-04-05 20:45

Thank you guys for the feedback!

@lobo-iberico they do get their warning!

@mcmuniz i agree, didn't have time to make it better tho

@fireslash yes that's right, I realized it and decided not to fix it because that is sooo delay the inevitable :P

jcmonkey 2022-04-05 22:47

for some reason when i played it i wasnt sure the fire went out because it naturally did, or i pissed it out. maybe some more feed back when your actually putting the fire out.

hartvichio 2022-04-06 09:15

I don't really know what to say. It is funny and has a game loop. So good job, but the humour is very specific :D

jackaljk 2022-04-06 19:07

Thank you!

@jcmonkey agreed, thought about it but didn't have enough time

@hartvichio i'm not sure whether you liked the humour or not haha

yetanother 2022-04-07 00:11

The aiming system is neat and easy to use! And I definitely laughed!

ani 2022-04-07 00:28

Haha, I didn't expect the voices! It's hard to tell if you're putting out a fire or not, but I did my best!

rickylee 2022-04-07 15:22

Not sure what to say xD literally lost for words...

mathglo 2022-04-08 19:30

I have NOTHING to say. I never laughed so hard playing a game jam HAHAHA. The music... the game... EVERYTHING. Great entry!

s-onoe 2022-04-08 19:43

I laughed so hard at the voice. Gameplay speaking, I found the first person perspective great, and I can see you put quite some effort into building the houses. One thing about the beams is that the area of effect doesn't quite match its physical end. Maybe try to do some minor edits. Overall, well done!

bionikmonster 2022-04-08 19:46

"BUT WAIT DON'T DRINK IT'S NOT LEMONADE! TOO LATE " OMG That's gonna stay in my head for days :'D. Love the concept + the audio is so fun! Nice job I had fun.

Managed to hold about 5:15 min.

jackaljk 2022-04-08 19:54

Thank you @yetanother @ani @mook @mathglo @s-onoe @bionikmonster! I'm really happy I could make you laugh :P

@s-onoe you are absolutely right about the area of effect vs what it looks like visually, I should have paid more attention to that

pio 2022-04-09 02:07

Haha, this was so funny! Great audio!

smdg 2022-04-09 11:00

Nice game had fun playing it.

dusho 2022-04-09 11:05

well that was something :).. really funny.. was some crazy clickfest at the end

hmightypirate 2022-04-09 21:17

XDDD! I wonder what the rival god i eating to throw that hot stones. I cannot stop laughing with this game.

milq 2022-04-09 21:38

I have laughed a lot! The truth is that I love this type of game that uses your own voice because it gives a lot of humor. And on top of that I had fun! Great game!

candlesan 2022-04-10 08:12

A very unique take on the theme. I can tell you had a lot of fun making this game and you weren't afraid to throw some laughs in for the player from every angle. The setting, the dialogue, the music - it's all done in good fun.

bjornstahl 2022-04-10 08:16

Well this was certainly a quirky little game, well done! Only improvement i could think of was a bit more reactiveness on hitting a house or make the extinguishing faster. It takes a couple of seconds before the fire dissapears so until then you are unsure if you are hitting or not.

jackaljk 2022-04-10 09:00

Thanks to all of you @pio @smdg @dusho @hmightypirate @milq @candlesan @bjornstahl!

histoka 2022-04-10 15:57

I like to pee on humans, that was fun !

m2tias 2022-04-10 16:24

Alright... Everything seems to work just as intended. Lots of voice acting is always cool! Graphics are great as well! Nicely done!

ossi 2022-04-11 19:20

That was hilarious! It's always nice to have voice acting in game jams, they're very few and far between. Good work!

honest-dan 2022-04-12 17:46

A very silly game, was a memorable experience! I like that you put expressed your humour in the game, both in premise and voice lines.

jackaljk 2022-04-13 19:06

Thank you @histoka @m2tias @ossi @honest-dan!

sacredbacon 2022-04-14 01:49

Great effects, super original, and quite fun. Cool that you had dialogue and an a cappella back track. Great entry!

black-flag 2022-04-17 21:42

Very funny game! The audio was great and a very interesting concept! I had some trouble with aiming, with the pool appearing not where I was hitting if that makes sense, that might have been intentional to create some extra challenge though! Overall, I had a lot of fun, great game!

jackaljk 2022-04-18 08:41

Thank you @sacredbacon @black-flag!

@black-flag yeah makes sense, it should happen very rarely and didn't have time to fix it, sorry about that. Glad you had fun!

olafstromberg 2022-04-18 14:17

Nice art and a simple concept easy to get the hang of. Addition of voice and the music was a good touch. Childish concept though.

bigbazwa 2022-04-19 00:14

Ha, funny voiceovers!

cubanfrog 2022-04-20 14:36

A fun concept that does quite a lot with quite a little -- it's simple but effective, which is the sign of a successful jam. Disliked the mashing mechanic though, having slight accessibility problems -- something to consider for your next project!

jackaljk 2022-04-20 19:08

Thank you @olafstromberg @bigbazwa @cubanfrog!

@cubanfrog i really appreciate your feedback, what specific accessibility problems did you notice?

binaryprinciple 2022-04-21 16:17

The dark humor adds a lot of mood to the game, like a Postal+Black and White crossover. The mechanic is simple but for and the controls quite friendly. I would have like a small parabol on my "fountain" but that's nitpicking. I would recommend a sound when the houses get completely destroyed. From a fellow god theme LD dev, well done!

jackaljk 2022-04-21 19:31

@binaryprinciple thank you and I'm glad you noticed that crossover, it was intended! Haha in a parallel universe this game could definitely be called "Divine Fountain". Agreed about the sound, I tried making something but didn't like the result and I was too exhausted to keep trying.
