fun playground of sumo physics.

fenix131113 2024-04-16 17:58

Interesting idea, but i can walk only by pressing "D" button.

aleal-dev 2024-04-16 17:59

W key does not work for me to move forward, so I had to play moving backwards haha. In any case I think it is a very original idea and quite a relaxing game. Nice work!

After summoning 7 sumos the game dropped to 1 fps lmao, really fun premise

speedphoenix 2024-04-16 18:05

Ok that was fun

Why isn't the sun a sumo too thouhg?

Fun concept and good effort for the jam! A couple points for improvement: - It felt like the camera/character roataion wasn't being scaled by deltaTime maybe? Sometimes it would spin super fast, sometimes slower, feeling like it was tied to framerate. - The selection menu after clicking would be a better user experience if the mouse started in the center each time, rather than keeping the same position where you last released it, as you can then flick a known distance. That more intuitive the controls feel the more I can get invested in seeing how quick I can destroy stuff! Also same for me, only S and D were working for movement.

I like the idea of the game! I can walk back and right, up and left don't work. Framerate drops as well, at least on the online version. Breaking things feels good though, so I had fun doing that :).

Edit: I see the comment on the page about the web version now! I'll give the desktop version a try.

I like idea of a demolition company that uses sumowrestlers to destroy buildings XD

gabriel-chan 2024-04-16 20:51

Interesting game! It could be optimized a little better, I often found myself lagging with a few sumos summoned. Mouse sensitivity was also very high, so I wish there was an option to change that. Overall a fun game!

10/10 best skybox ever

winie 2024-04-16 21:04

Destroy everything !!!!

mr-esport 2024-04-16 21:08

If you get into it, there's actually a few easy combos for greater destruction :eyes:

pandalk 2024-04-17 17:52

@fenix131113 @cresceda we had a tiny problem with the controls not being set properly, it's now fixed !

@speedphoenix the secret lore about this game is that it's in the teletubbies universe B-)

@gabriel-chan @shardykins the speed of the camera is a problem we have on the webgl build, we couldn't solve it in time, and probably shouldn't have put it online, the game plays way better in the build version (still lags a bit if you summon too many things, but far better than the browser version :p)

It's an interesting concept. Good job!

thomas-gelman 2024-04-19 04:39

This is an interesting concept! Hilarious how much you can lag out the game by spamming sumos, and it was fun to find the optimal way to destroy certain buildings, good job!

trasevol-dog 2024-04-19 11:32

Fun little experiment! The game does start to lag after summoning a few sumos in quick succession. You could push this in an interesting direction with objectives and a sort of goat-simulator vibe.

nomus 2024-04-19 20:54

cool game, fun to experiment with different build and can be extremly laggy when you summon 500

best score is 16690, what is the best possible one ?

I also find it funny that the developper is the only one cropped halfway on my menu

pandalk 2024-04-19 21:28

@nomus I think you have the highest score! the best among the people I know was 13k :p

that screen was made in about 10 minutes at the end XD it completely breaks in 4k too :p

markwu 2024-04-20 04:10

really relaxing to destroy things. the graphics are nice. love the baby face of the sun!

diadem-games 2024-04-20 10:52

I really fun, but my framerate dropped sharply after destroying a dozen objects or so :D. Also, the "adaption" of the theme is really creative!

spex130 2024-04-20 19:50

Fun times! Simple mechanics, lots of joy in all the destruction!

Feels like the camera controls could have been a bit better, the camera would snap to the direction I'd swiped to after I released the button. Made doing multiple summons pretty difficult because they're based off your view, but also your view changes each time you summon.

Very fun, nice job!

busisen 2024-04-21 10:05

had a really good time with this game, always have a sweet spot for demolition type games, and this didn't disappoint. it's a fun take on the theme, and I kinda dig the simple artstyle. great submission :)

digitaliliad 2024-04-21 19:21

Hilarious! Nothing like punting a rolling sumo into an inflating sumo to really feel like you're alive. A few more optimizations and this would be a household name, in my opinion. Great job, team <3

ogma-badparenting101 2024-04-21 19:51

This game made me happy - thank you! What fun!

ungarblapp 2024-04-21 20:07

Great fun demolition game, good sense of humor the graphics are cool and the time limit really works for the gameplay. This could def be developed into something longer! Great Work!

Thanks for dropping by the stream here's the VOD for you if you want to rewatch

Neat little tech demo! I just wish I could launch the sumos even faster, almost like a cannon.
