It was satisfying pushing the art out of the AI's way. Also good sound design and artstyle. Nice work!

It was satisfying pushing the art out of the AI's way. Also good sound design and artstyle. Nice work!
nice art, great music.
It was a bit difficult to understand without a ton of reading.
Great sound and art! Creative gameplay, actually took me a bit to get the hang of it and show the AI who's boss. <3
Ahh, definitely controversial! I lost some paintings to the AI when they got stuck at the back, but managed to beat it regardless. Love the AI voice lines by the way, great job!
Very unique! And culturally relevant haha. A fun take on the AI debate :D Loved the art as well!!
Duh duh dududuh duh duuuh!
Good work on that unique game. Nice controls and voice acting.
TO THE GRIIIIIINDER!
Really cool game, great job, sounds design was great and gameplay was solid. Great job!
Wow! My absolute favorite! Visual style is great, music is so funny! And also creative game style. Topic is very actual. Fantastic game, I have no idea what to improve.
Great visuals, audio and the overall idea.
It was also fun to play, but I think the gameplay could use a couple of tweaks. More specifically, I was able to win fairly easily with the following strategy:
1. Let the AI pick up all the poop and ignore the actual artist. I did let a few good images slip as I was getting familiar with the game, but it didn't hurt much in the end. 2. When AI picked up all the poop, I had two good images left on the ground. However, the AI always seemed to target the same one. 3. Move the one image that AI always targets near the artist, so it's within your reach. 4. Let the artist bar fill up. If the mechanical arm starts to move, push the targeted image out of reach and get back to the artist. If the image gets too far up, just push it back down so you don't have to move as much. 5. When the artist finishes, just deliver the painting quickly. 6. Repeat steps 4 to 5 until you win.
Maybe it could have been done only with steps 3 to 6, I haven't tried - but I think you could solve it with a few tweaks, for example: - make the AI select the image at random - let the images disappear after a while and spawn new ones at random - punish the player if he doesn't deliver artist image for too long
With that, the gameplay could potentially be brutally difficult, but also I think very fun. Perhaps also consider Co-Op support? :wink:
Anyway, great work on this one! Definitely one of the best games I've played so far.
Maybe a bit confusing how everything works but the art style and the audio really works on your game. Overall a cool game.
Surprisingly polished ! Really loved the voice lines and the general goofy take on a pretty sensitive topic. The music was hilarious. Art and animation was consistent with the vibe and really neat.
Gameplay was pretty clever, but my only gripe is that it can feel a bit repetitive after a while, and maybe somewhat slow... I think i'd at least increase the fill speed of the artist's bar ? Or, you know, maybe she should just use AI since it's faster !... wait.
@mvasko2 You had the AI target the poop? Or did you put the poop under the arm yourself? Cause if the AI targeted the poop that was a bug lol, not supposed to happen :laughing: Thanks for the nice feedback tho! The gameplay was hard to balance for the gamejam, but If we ever revisit this game, we'll look at your suggestions for sure!
I really suck at this game lol. I played it twice and didn't do great. I guess I am not sure what the requested art description at the top left has to do with the actual art on the floor itself? Just flavor, or? The art and sound was fun, I'm not sure pushing around blocks on the floor got me that excited, but the experience of playing it as a whole was certainly entertaining. Good work!
@yahel-dooley Actually the art description does not matter, what matter is the amount of art piece needed for the IA to complete the request. Our first idea was to make pieces related to the prompt words, but the scope was too high already considering the time we spent on animation and sound design. But it's definitly something we should go for in case we decided to work again on this project!
I love the art style and the music. This inspires me to try making myself too. I liked how multitasking creates a chaos on the field. I think the previous feedbacks mentioned it too, but the arm kept targeting the same painting. Making it choose an art at random could be a nice touch. Great work!
I like the art, it gives a cartoony feel and depth to the game, the controls are tight and responsive, good physics there, items don't get stuck up , the mechanics is straightforward and the instructions are presented to be easy to understand, the gameplay is challenging, since the mechanical arm readily gets the artwork and does not pick up the crappy one. The player has to decide if , to go for the artist, or push the good art so as not to be picked up. Good balance of challenge and fun, This is a well made game, I enjoyed playing this one! congratulations! keep it up!
Great topic! Clever application of theme and fun mechanic juggling the deflection and encouragement/transfer of the real art. Sometimes packages seemed to get stuck at an edge so I couldnt move but was super satisfying to nudge the poop into the AI arm. Had a lot of fun, nice work :)
Great idea, I loved the artstyle and the very nice soundtrack + the barks of the AI! I didn't really understand from the introduction what to do with poop art, but as I never received any poop art, that didn't matter. :shrug:
I think the AI was very easily tricked as it always chose the same art piece to harvest, maybe some randomness would've made that more interesting.
Great game overall!
Good job! Art is cute and it's really fun to play! I'll wait for more games.
I loved the Statement, this is Art. Awesome entry
Funny game! Love the art and audio
I love your unique take on the theme and how you introduce an interesting topic. The game's gameplay art and bgm and all the stuff depicts your idea really clearly. For a even better gameplay I'd like the player have an ability to pull the artworks from the edge and corners of the room since it's can be very hard to move them when they get there. Great job anyway, congrats on finishing this.
Really cute game. I loved the background music :smile: I beat the AI!!! :muscle:
Took me several attempts to understand all the mechanics and UI, but very well done! :) Art style, music and AI voice lines are great! ^^
It was fun, though it didn't fit the theme. Anyway, good job!

@ng-vicious No, I had to do the actual work of replacing the good image with the poop. Once all the poop was gone, however, I noticed that the arm always targeted the same image, so I moved it close to the artist so that I could help finish the painting while having an easy time sabotaging the AI.
The art it's cool, the kazoo music is fun ! The concept is fun too. Really, good job ! Does it have an end ? I couldn't reach it.
I think that ai's are only seen as better because they draw what you want. At the end is it possible we can see the art that was made?
First, the music wont stop looping in my head xD This was really well done -simple game play done in a unique, creative way! Really liked the art and the starting menu -smart how it teaches you to stand in an area to start the game -great subtle design there! Really nice work on this and the dialogue had me laughing -awesome job!!
Thats interesting entry! It was too easy for me, after I put all art in one pile and just push it up and down from the arm, but concept is good. Really liked art and audio!
