I keep seeing a guy on social media, wielding, one of these giant sword. Haha beautiful graphics. Congrats on a great entry!

Really nice graphics, trail when throwing the sword looks really polished and satisfying, also I liked the effect when damaging the trees

It looks amazing visually, really cute graphics, and a fun game. It's hard not to cut trees, but hey, who can stop the guy with a big sword :D

vhalenn 2023-10-03 12:11

Thank you for the support @thenerdster !

Thank you @wolkp ! It was our first game using Unreal engine and making that Trail was quite a challenge, thank you for noticing the work putted into it !

Thank you @rongon I am glad you liked the GROS ÉPÉE ! You game is a masterpiece !

The whole gameplay felt really tight, the bounces of the sword were really satisfying and it was a really fun experience. I may have destroyed the whole forest but what is an angry Mamie when the game gives you big numbers to be happy about. This GROS ÉPÉE sure felt like a GROS BOULOT, gg. ;)

@muri As would have said Mamie : "Merci beaucoup !!!"

Looks and feels really polished! Good job, great game!

matthartley 2023-10-04 12:32

Really nice graphics!

nbyrsanu9 2023-10-04 12:55

Wow, it seems as you really spend a lot of time to make such a good graphic, so atmospheric!

vhalenn 2023-10-04 20:00

@yidu76 Thank you a lot !!!

@dwarfid Nice one ! Maybe try it next time without hitting too much trees! Who knows? Maybe it's a magical sword or maybe it's the same reason as in Berserk!

@greynovembergames Thank you so much! It was really intense to animate things on a new engine!

@matthartley Thanks!

@nbyrsanu9 Thank you so much! Actually we had only one artist for visuals and two of us mostly on blueprints!

Took a swing at 'Gros épée' by Vhalenn, Shirese, and Courgette. What a delightful experience! The game beautifully integrates the concept of 'LIMITED SPACE' with a hilariously oversized sword. I enjoyed the clear objective and the additional challenge of not destroying the forests. The visuals are charming with the protagonist navigating through the vibrant forest, trying to gather mushrooms while wielding that comically large sword. Controls are intuitive, and the feedback from the community showcases the appeal and polish of the game. It’s evident that a lot of effort went into both gameplay mechanics and the aesthetic. Keep up the great work, team Petite Crème!

got to see this amazing view in my feed...sucha blooomy graphics...you just nailed it bro...good work

unbugged 2023-10-04 20:08

Graphics are nice and the music is excellent! I've never slashed around with that massive sword! :smile: The setting is also refreshing.

petr-vejchoda 2023-10-04 20:09

Great graphics and music :smiley: Enjoyed a lot. Using this kind of tool for this kind of work feel like real overill :smiley:

sozey 2023-10-04 20:11

This game is so fun! I really enjoyed the graphics and the feedback, the hits with the sword felt heavy and impactful, and honestly very tempting to chop the trees x) Good job guys!

jagman 2023-10-04 20:16

I need to know how you got into that music! I need this for my car! :D Because the music is absolutely great and gives it a great feel. Nice idea and concept, thank you guys

janinna21 2023-10-04 20:27

I loved it!

spicymarcus 2023-10-04 20:54

Really cute game, great graphics! Nice work!

bobbie 2023-10-04 21:00

the feel of the sword is great, I could throw it around for an hour and have fun the whole time. visuals are great too, and the music speeding up as the pace gets faster was a nice touch

the scoring system *is* a little confusing to me, it seems like you lose some health when you chop down a tree but that's about it. still a lot more fun to avoid chopping the trees, it just seems like you could get a better high score if you went on a chaotic tree-destructive rampage lol

rusty2117 2023-10-04 21:14

Nice graphics and simply mechanics. I didn't destroy the forest (not completely) there were trees still standing.

falestress 2023-10-04 21:49

Great sound and graphics ! So cute ! I love this chaos with all destructible objects, so juicy

Nice work ! :)

tommy-moua 2023-10-05 03:51

Great art style and music. I really like the style you went for. The gameplay itself too, it was fun just throwing the sword around at everything. Good job on adding some pretty good feel to the game!

chengnan17 2023-10-05 04:37

Very interesting games, especially the sound effects played by mushrooms, swords and trees, and the music is just right, with a very cute style.

taldius 2023-10-05 11:23

Fun little game, the game feels is pretty good and I love the cute artstyle. Good job!

vhalenn 2023-10-06 12:32

@pabloabraham Thank you a lot for your detailed review !

@bobbie Yes in did we didn't wanted to make too much of a hardcore game so cutting trees is not that a big penalty ! We found a better way to do after the jam, maybe we will release an improved game when the ratings are over !

Thank you a lot everyone !!! We are blown away so many of you tried the game despite it being not playable from browser !
