I really enjoyed this game and the concept in general, I'd never have thought to use TTS for audio like this but it totally put a smile on my face, if I have to complain about anything it'd be the segment with scaring away the birds dragged on and didn't really end at a clear point (there were still many birds left when the curtains were pulled) but that's really minor :)
Hope to see your work again another LD :D
I love this! The text to speech audio works really well, the whole experience was super thematic and immersive! I think one thing that wouldve improved it for me is if there was sound effects too in the bird swatting scene? To show clearer feedback that youre hitting the birds.
I had a great time playing this, thanks for your entry!
This was a very endearing experience. I didn't realize that you could control the puppet at first, so maybe a prompt in the screen indicating the playing to try moving around until they give input would be a nice addition. The presentation is definitely unique among the games I've played so far, and it's used to great benefit to tell your story.
Love it!
Thanks! @pauljs @profan @amar-ravi @kyle-landon I supper new to coding with unity and unable to implement enough thing on this Entry.
Thanks for the feedbacks.
That was a weird experience, I kinda got dizzy from the puppet jumping up and down and ended up pressing two keys to flail my arms around to scare birds. The concept is cool and the visuals were on point though. Good job
That was an interesting experience; more akin to an interactive artwork than a game. That's definitely not a bad thing though, I'd like to see more things like this.
On the whole, great presentation, good storyline, and I second people's comments about the text-to-speech adding to the experience.
I kinda laughed when i heard the TTS voice, but afterall it is a nice addition. The graphics and the sounds are nice, the game overall is fun. It's a bit underwhelming how ultimately, in the bird scene, the easiest way to scare them away is leaving both torches at the bottom, same position, and just walk around
Such a creative new take on the topic! Feels really fresh in a sea of rather similar games and i would love to see this game developed more. The only thing that threw me off a bit was not being sure about the keys to use so maybe it would be more clear to add a prompt in the beginning somewhere. Well done!
@schmalex thanks, i'm thinking on post jam version soon. Wanna try to extend some thing. hope you will be back.
This was really nice ! I felt like actually watching a puppet show. Well done, thank you for submitting this !
Hey, why did you lie? I was able to run the game on Firefox \s
Seriously tho, the game is kinda great! I love the storytelling. I'll definitely see the post-jam version, but ping me when you make it alright?
Thanks for feedbacks @truechips , I don't know. This unable to test this on firefox. Currently im working on something and try to delliver asap to you guys.
Really really funny and somehow really innovative submission, I loved it (:clap: :clap: :clap:)! Felt amazing flailing my arms about in absolute joy, and while it's a short and simple game, it's already up there with the other games I've played just because of how well it works; something about *"Text-to-speech"* voices really get me good! :laughing:
I would've liked to play for longer, but I loved it, great job! :beers:
Original concept! Didn't saw another puppet show for this jam I can imagine the guy behind the scene haha
Cool game!! I really liked how the hand puppet moves and feels, and the whole experience was really fun. What a unique idea for the jam!
Nice combination of shadow play and video game. The movement of the character is really dynamic and realistic. You made me feel the charm of shadow play in your amazing show!!! Worth more than 1 doller, I'm sure.
Really unique game! I cannot say this is the most fun game I played, but it is a surprising experience everyone should try! Would love to see more interactions in a futur version :)
A funny and pretty well made game. I'm personally not a super fan of the text to speech voice over, but it does work okay. But the visuals is good, and I overall liked the story. So overall a good jam game. Well done.
what an original game! the theatre scenery and the puppet show is a really good idea.
the gameplay was kinda minimalistic tho, since you can just wave both arms continuously to frighten all the birds.
however, this is a game as i'd like to see more, because it is really unique.
so many surreal harvesting games this round! i found that i could just keep both torches running and clear away all the birds, looked so funny! good job with the puppetry visuals!
Not what I expected. And that's a great thing. Awesome work.
This is fucking hilarious i loved it! :laughing: I cant say anything about it more than that.. Its simply perfect... And the i swam through those fields of watermelons, my symphony of moves, my grace, my... It was art...
