Now this is an innovative idea. Who would have thought of using your prison as a blunt force weapon? Love the shaky text, the feel and movement of everything. It was a little difficult to figure out the ramming technique, but I think with some practice I'd get good at it. Which is really what you want. I am not sure what kind of feedback you could add to make it easier to dial in the bashing aspect.

guilloteam 2023-10-02 22:26

@lelulagames Thank you very much for the feedback! Glad you liked the game!

velvetlobster 2023-10-02 22:38

WOW. Simple mechanics well executed and fitting to the theme! Amazing. Even with a Leaderboard. So cool. No comments or improvements. Fun little game that I will come back soon.

guilloteam 2023-10-02 22:46

@velvetlobster Hey thank you ! For the leaderboard the server had a crash so I just restarted it, it should work now ;)

victor-perotto-pioner 2023-10-02 23:46

I loved the idea of ​​the leaderboard, it made me play several times in search of first place, otherwise the game is very well balanced and fun!!

anciententity 2023-10-03 05:37

Really enjoyed this one! Unique take on the theme. Congratulations on the game and good job!

abdul-zakkar 2023-10-03 05:43

This game felt so complete!! So much work done in all aspects, art, sound, vfx, even leaderboard, you guys are talented and quick! Very nice and unique idea.

henrik-ganard 2023-10-03 05:43

Cool game. I really liked the mechanic. It´s a nice chaos after a while.

avi 2023-10-03 05:47

Really fun game! Nice concept and STUNNING visuals! Was a bit confused by the beam power up.

Great job also on the leaderboard! Did you guys use plassion for it?

pauljs 2023-10-03 06:30

Neat little game! I like the theme interpretation!

teme 2023-10-03 06:57

Wow! Amazing! Was waiting to try this ever since saw the concept on the front page when scrolling through. Great animations, art style, fun gameplay. Just all around great! And all in such a short time!

ebrietas 2023-10-03 06:59

Wow, best art style and very fun gameplay

tkap1 2023-10-03 07:26

Diagonal movement would be nice. Also faster dash charging

gerald-t-mccoy 2023-10-03 08:54

dude this is great, this takes me back to the days of xbla games, the movement system is really inovative, the visuals are quite unique and the combat is really addictive, think i'll play more of this game.

lastuck 2023-10-03 09:36

Very cool! One one the best ideas I've seen for the theme and the visuals are neat!

pierre-marie 2023-10-03 09:45

Okay, so far the best game I've played on this jam. We'll gladly play again!

matthartley 2023-10-03 09:55

Amazing game! Very polished, great graphics and audio and a innovative idea. Great job!

isiodae 2023-10-03 11:52

Soooo cool ! Was impatient to see Guillotem's game :D it doesn't disappoint ! The take on the theme is really fun and inventive, the artstyle is amazing, the music is great ! It is challenging to avoid enemy attacks while in your cage AND stomping on them, it is really fun to play !

surune 2023-10-03 13:12

Good idea, great graphic, and perfect game! I think you can sell this on somewhere, so cool!

bumble 2023-10-03 13:51

Making the limited space a literal limited space but also the game mechanic is a twist I have not seen yet, very interesting and definitely fun!

From the scores in the leaderboard I can deduct that there are many jammers who played it definitely more than once - including me - and I think that is the best praise a jam game can get :D

madjackmcmad 2023-10-03 14:20

Good job team, I'd type more but j_revel is here in twitch watching me so he gets all the feedback direct. GG.

krrtolkien 2023-10-03 14:23

Awesome job. Innovative, polished, right on theme.

genka 2023-10-03 16:56

Congratulations! it`s a very good job!

falestress 2023-10-03 16:57

Ce jeu ! Trop beau ! Le concept est génial, original et marrant ! J'ai adoré, il coche toutes les cases ! Il y a rien a dire vous avez géré ! comme d'hab ! :D <3 Des bisous la team !

guilloteam 2023-10-03 19:30

@falestress Content que ça t'ai plu !

boostas 2023-10-03 20:31

Impressive game as always! Loved everything

orinta 2023-10-03 20:38

I loved it! First of all, the concept itself, the progression, especially loved the visuals!! I really enjoyed the music, reminds me of carpenter brut (but thats good) :D

donitz 2023-10-03 20:45

Super polished and great looking game! Good job!

phillip-scott 2023-10-03 23:06

This game looks and feel fantastic great job, love the twist on the theme

anton-zhuk 2023-10-03 23:31

Loved it, so polished!!

coderaurus 2023-10-04 05:26

Clever take on the theme! Aesthetically pleasing with wreck-o'clock music. Sadly the leaderboards seemed to be down again.

Good work!

jrevel 2023-10-04 07:22

@coderaurus Thank you ! The leaderboard is still working, but it looks like some people have some texts that disappear in the menu, and I have no idea how it happens... It does not seem to happen in the windows version though.

coderaurus 2023-10-04 07:27

@jrevel Hmm, interesting. As if any dynamic text isn't working..

honest-dan 2023-10-04 09:33

This has an original mechanic. The title screen I didn't realise it was a top down perspective, but once I started it made sense and the original way to move around felt fun to explore. The distance it travels is just slightly misaligned with the indicator which was a little annoying, but just a minor gripe! Good juice!

badcop 2023-10-04 09:44

this game is very fun and innovative

i really like that i can do a quick dive to the other side of the ring as a dodge

bauke-regnerus 2023-10-04 10:02

The level of polish is just insane. The art looks amazing and is complemented by the particle effects and audio. The concept makes for a new experience, quite innovative. Awesome job.

decentsauce 2023-10-04 16:38

This is my favorite game I've played so far in this jam! Great game feel and the game is very polished. +1 for big woman.

arthur-othy-gares 2023-10-04 17:09

Really good polished game ! I had a lot of fun to play.

little-doctor-games 2023-10-04 19:33

Incredibly fun and polished game. The tutorialization is equal parts effective and hilarious. Squashing enemies is super satisfying and it's impressive how much enemy variety there is in such a tight package. Thanks for bringing it to the stream!!

mr-lazy 2023-10-04 19:46

awesome work bro!!..all with this effects and sfx..i dont kno whow you pulled up all these weight in this short period of time..you nailed it(theme)

doot 2023-10-04 20:05

This is an absolutely crazy good level of polish for a jam game! Plus a very cool game idea. Great job team!

coleslaughter 2023-10-09 18:58

[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1945057375?t=02h42m44s)

I love the simplicity and immediately-engaging you've built this game around. And the amount of polish you were able to jam into this is seriously impressive!

kankje 2023-10-09 20:08

Quite an unique idea and very polished! The artwork is great and the music and sounds fit the game really well. I had a lot of fun with this one, great entry!! 😍

viktorthegreat 2023-10-10 22:21

I love the art direction and character design. So fluid!

buzzybee 2023-10-14 15:18

This is really cool! Loved the art and the gameplay and the leaderboard was a really good motivator to try to get a higher score.

geckoo1337 2023-10-14 21:04

Amazing game with a gorgeous aesthetic and a solid gameplay. The main idea is really interesting - unusual and the realisation well done. Controls work well as expected - simple, but clever. Of course, when there is a leaderboard online, it's always a plus. I had fun playing. Maybe it could be better on a mobile device. You deserve more good ratings. Thank you for the fun. I wish you the best ++

Thank you everyone for your great feedback ! We managed to get the 16th place in the overall category, which is by far the best rank we got in Ludum Dare, and it's all because of you !

We have a discord where we talk about what our team does, game jams and game development. Please come in if you want to see more about our work or want to talk about game jams in general ! I'd also love to see what you all do next, I'd be glad to give feedback on your next games :) https://discord.gg/fkE66TRTHC

When we are not doing game jams, we work on Midnight Blood Rush, our first commercial games. It comes from Count Down Dracula, the game we made for LD48 ! It's a fast paced action roguelite, where you play a vampire sucking the blood of his enemies ! The steam page is here, adding it to your wishlist would be extremely helpful for us, as it is the only thing that gives visibility on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2502310/Midnight_Blood_Rush/
