Really enjoyed this one! love the art style with the music

Really well made. I love the this idea for the theme. Art and music all fit together too.

likurio 2022-10-04 20:39

Awesome graphics and idea

cornflowerblue 2022-10-04 20:39

Fantastic art.

chillertyp 2022-10-04 20:42

I didn't want to give another game 5 stars in all categories... but I just did. Just awesome. Who made the graphics? I want to become friends with this person. DM me on insta @chiller.typ

I can see why there's no rating for music (quickly searches through Caravan Palace music collection and similar) Fits the graphics though - very Warner Bros - and the game is pretty solid. Quite enjoyed this - just when you think it's getting samey another trap pops out - well done.

Call off the rest of the rating period, we've found the winner...

Seriously this was soooo good! Like I'm honestly skeptical that this is the team behind Cuphead just smurfing in a jam for the weekend. Art was super impressive, sound design was excellent, gameplay/difficulty was perfect.

Well done by the whole team. I usually try to think of at least something to suggest as improvement, and I'm coming up blank here.

This is amazing! I can't believe this is a jam game, has incredible art and a really unique idea that is very well executed. If I had to nitpick one thing is that the jump is a bit floaty, but other than that, very solid game.

lord-blackheart 2022-10-04 22:32

fantastic artwork!

msplanlos 2022-10-04 22:33

You captured the artstyle so perfectly! Great game, very addicting. (:

nobuna-no 2022-10-04 22:39

A very impressive entry where the theme has been embraced in more than one venue. Really professional presentation with no encountered bug. I take my hat off to you. Being able to hop on the clock was a surprise that made me smile, thank you.

chris-plummer 2022-10-04 22:39

I spent a few minutes grooving out to the menu track. This is an amazing project. Well done!

mikesalyh 2022-10-04 22:47

Amazing graphics, sound, and theme use!! Reminded me of Cuphead. The gameplay was pretty hard though, I had a tough time getting the hand into position. Thanks for the fun submission! :)

velaachlorine 2022-10-04 22:47

this is quite outstanding for just 72 hours. the red hazard lines kind of clash with the art style a bit but it otherwise stays consistent thorough and doesn't break the immersion. i like how the clock dude's animations are synced up to the music, it's a nice touch!

fiat-ventus 2022-10-05 03:13

Really fun game! The style kind of made me think of Felix the cat and cup head. Good use of the theme and the music matched well.

josephldooley 2022-10-05 04:02

Really fun game, got to 30 I think!

n-feofentov 2022-10-05 07:09

Super cool concept and graphics! Everything is so consistent: 10 seconds timer and overall clock-world cartoon setting. Game is difficult but fun. The only issue I had is that rotating hand counterclockwise is kinda counterintuitive (lol) but it seems to be the only winning strategy sometimes.

Also it would be super cool to match the ticking of timer to the music. It matches ocasionally and it plays perfectly. You could just start new 10 seconds timer with 0.1-0.5 seconds offset to match music rythm and noone would notice.

Great job!

dp3rucha 2022-10-05 07:33

The art of this game is magnificent. It reminds a lot of Cuphead. The mechanics are fine, but maybe a little more accelerated movement of the player and enemies would have made it even more fun! Good work!

loki-drams 2022-10-05 17:59

Very good game ! the graphism are super and the game is easy to understand, but become hard fast !

my best in normal is 17, and in hard, is just null x)

good job !

joror 2022-10-05 21:50

Neat graphical look and feel! The music also stands out as an excellent choice. The gameplay was simple, but effective. Some alternative items / boosts / goals would have been good to spice things up

Well done!

fabula-rasa 2022-10-05 22:28

The old-timey aesthetics are great! Both the graphics and the music are superb and go together very well. It gets frantic fast :grin:

ideaspersecond 2022-10-06 01:47

This game gave me major Cuphead vibes! And just like Cuphead, this game provides a challenge, yet fair gameplay loop! Everything from the art, to the gameplay, to the music is just right! Amazing work! Clock Caper gets the highest marks from me! Screenshot 2022-10-05 182542.png

I love the cuphead style in the games. I found the difficulty well balanced. When I got my hands on it I scored a beautiful 22 points and it was a very rewarding feeling. Music, gameplay, graphics all great.

savolae 2022-10-06 20:06

Wow, your artstyle is amazing! Also a very creative idea for gameplay, good job!

justaroom 2022-10-06 20:48

Extremely impressive. The art is amazing, the sound too and very polished. No complaints, genuinely an amazing jam entry. Good job

rendow 2022-10-07 17:30

Best looking game I have seen so far, and the soundtrack is a banger. The only suggestion I have is to make the jump feel better (as another comment already pointed out). Very good game overall, well done!

weine 2022-10-07 18:29

Very well done, stylish and challenging to play. I like the balance of simple mechanics and challenge progression.

itooh 2022-10-08 16:48

What an incredible aesthetic! Succeeding to accomplish that in a jam is incredible! Discovering each animation is already tremendously enjoyable.

The game itself is neat too. I had fun finding different strategies. In the end, my best score was 11. The randomness of the next position created some unfair situations, and sometime the hitboxes weren't very precise when it came to verticality. But those are small nitpicking, overall it's very much enjoyable. Great job!

william-baker 2022-10-09 02:06

love the art style!

mrbamboo 2022-10-09 16:06

Perfect note ! I had only 12 points but enjoyed the game !

yword 2022-10-09 16:54

Awesome! It's very fun, innovative, and the graphics and artworks are truly amazing! The music and sounds are fitted perfectly too! And my best score is 39.

blue-pin-studio 2022-10-10 01:53

Wow this is possibly the best entry in the entire jam! Great work everyone involved. I love all aspects of it :D

unless-games 2022-10-10 13:40

Cool game idea and a really polished execution!

My suggestion is to make the character push faster towards the edges of the level. By intuition the clock-hand should be easier to turn if you push the tip, but right now it is the exact opposite since you can cover more angles in the same amount of time if you are pushing closer to the center.

I think the spiky clock hand shouldn't hurt you if you are colliding with its bottom at the center (or have it have little spikes around the base to make the safe area more clear).

Anyways, great entry!

2022-10-10 17:13

Very good game, impressive quality on all levels GG !

doraemon 2022-10-11 04:31

Love the art and music choice. Amazing game and easy to play. Great job guys!

fuzzybut 2022-10-11 14:20

I'm obsessed with this track! Amazing choice and theme. The graphics are sooooo good too - like others say, it reminds me of Cuphead but is definitely it's own game. Extremely impressed!

One gameplay note - My high score was 37, but for that run I found that it was much faster to not dodge any of the obstacles and just take the penalty hit because it's a little difficult to jump/dodge. Then while stalled from the penalty hit, I was safe to absorb the other 3 obstacles that were about to hit me too, so it was in my favor that the penalty hits don't stack haha. My high score when actually trying to dodge everything was around 12, so I think I'd suggest a change in movement mechanics to make it easier to dodge if you're encouraging the player to do so.

Really awesome job!! Thank you for uploading your game, and congratulations on your entry!

kushimoto 2022-10-13 03:41

A truly creative idea that is genuinely fun to play. My favorite game of the jam. Bravo!

ominusgalaxy44 2022-10-13 21:20

fun game, very well polished too

chingle 2022-10-14 02:30

Holy hot damn, the graphics looks excellent! It's like a secret lost level of Cuphead :smile: Definitely one of the best visuals in the jam! Superb work by the team!

candlesan 2022-10-14 10:44

Really love the way the music, art and sound FX and fonts all come together to make a very consistent style. Good job on the creative direction!

ganny 2022-10-14 10:59

Loved the graphics. Great entry!

dreamerflow 2022-10-16 21:36

Very nice game! great transitions and art, remember me to mario party mini games, i like the mechanics to, I see only a collision problem with the red hand clock, awesome job, I enjoy it, congrats!

tamasik 2022-10-17 12:12

Really liked old school cartoon graphics.....First few round were easy but lost after few min....

kitkii 2022-10-17 18:53

Such an amazing game with great music and artstyle direction the whole game seems so polished its amazing what you have done in 3 days. Your team has done something outstanding today.

khadia 2022-10-21 22:44

Wow! This is such an impressive jam effort. Great job on the looney tunes retro cartoon aesthetic. Really great take on the theme too, pushing the clock hand around the circle was a clever core mechanic for an arcade-style game like this. I thought it would have been nice to be able to jump over it (maybe you could but I failed haha), but is a neat feature of the gameplay as is. Well done!!
