Hello

yibojiang 2023-01-10 06:31

please play the windows build instead of the web version as the web build has a bug that the number of fire rings or bananas are not spawned correctly

Its always good to have a coop in a game and this one is not an exception. One thing troubles me - I didn't get why I need an attack. It slightly slows you down even if you miss your target and it just doesn't seem that good in terms of risk/reward to use it.

Anyway it was fun, keep up the good work!

Why does this game remind me of the flaming hoop minigame from Circus Charlie?

yibojiang 2023-01-10 09:07

@fallcresthero nice feedback! Was thinking if that could be replaced by allowing the player to throw the banana as they did in Mario kart instead of kicking others.

The other idea is to keep the kicking action, but make it more meaningful, for example, the player could kick the other live stocks and thus cause more chaos in the game.

@moonlightbomber ah, didn't know the game is part of Circus Charlie, thanks for letting me know! I played it with when I was a kid with my friends. It was so hard and I could barely make it even in the first level. But yeah, our game is inspired by that hoop minigame!

The graphics and humor are the strong points of this game. The similiarity with dino run and flappy bird is bit of a turn off for me. After finishing the run i did not have a urge to try again. If the game had health system that would make it a bit better because dying would have consequences.

@yibojiang both ideas sounds great I think. Would be nice to see them in your game in the future. Good Luck!

Nice graphics and good idea. Unfortunately I don't have anyone to play with me and I think the game makes sense in multiplayer!Nice work however =)

@salvation glad you like the graphics! it's the first time our artists drawing pixel art, but they put love into that and they did a really great job!

Your feedback is interesting. didn't realize the death punishment would discourage players from playing. Kinda worried about the idea of having a health system. as 1) It might slow down the cadence of the gameplay 2) we want to make the flaming hoop jump a challenge with high-reward action.

Instead, I would make the respawn time shorter to make cadence faster. So the player feels less pressure when performing the flaming hoop jump

@korvack thanks for the feedback. as everybody works remotely, honestly I also don't have the chance to test the local multi-play after we finished it :)

I love the animation when the player steps on the banana peel XD, love the chicken and the sheep too, so funny and so cute. I can feel I am immersed into the race. The gameplay guide is really helpful for me. Feedback: from my POV the colors of the race track can be balanced a little, the lightest gray color is a bit popping out. When I start the game I didn't realize the background are aliens watching the race. Good job!
