can you submit this game on itch.io? looks like I can't open the website you uploeaded. The game looks cool from screenshot.

ohfiddlediddle 2024-04-16 00:35

@alxje Thanks for the support! Yeah GameJolt is being a bit weird, I have uploaded it to Itch.Io as well!

I will be sure to play your game and leave some feedback over the next couple of days :)

alxje 2024-04-16 01:40

I don't know why but this game dosen't run properly from itch.io, maybe you can upload a excutable file on this site?

ohfiddlediddle 2024-04-16 06:15

@alxje hmm that's a bit scary. When you say it doesn't run properly, exactly whats happening?

Regardless, I added a Windows Build as well. It's untested but should be fine (except there is no quit button, because it was designed for web build only haha)

ohfiddlediddle 2024-04-16 07:08

@alxje, alright, I came to the conclusion the webbuild just can't reliably perform as needed. So I have removed it, now it's Windows Build only.

Thank you!

The game seems to have bugged after I failed the fish game then the banking game on round 2 of each game. I saw both the green overlay and the red failure one and it just sorta faded to black and never recovered. Neat concept, I was laughing a ton.

alxje 2024-04-17 02:52

@ohfiddlediddle Glade my feedback helps you

ohfiddlediddle 2024-04-17 03:56

@tinykidtoo Thanks for the feedback! Do you recall when the red/green overlap began? And yes thanks to you I realised there is an issue stopping the player from reaching the ending. I will release a hotfix update for that shortly. Thanks!

crazy a** stylish game!

zagony2613 2024-04-17 06:06

Probably one of the funniest and most creative uses of the theme I've seen. I love the voiceover, and especially the lore of the RedGreen Fish Co.

fenix131113 2024-04-17 11:26

Very funny game love it!

By far the best game I've played so far. Only person I couldn't save was the one in the car the second time round. Real fun!

A game that is so artistic that I dare not draw any conclusions easily (even though I gave it a very high score hahaha)! I have always liked such works of art (I think they are different from ordinary Tittytainment-games), and I think these types of games are full of experimental (and occasionally just right critical), worthy of the title of the Ninth Art. I've always wanted to make a game like this, and I confess that I've been incredibly lucky to be inspired by your masterpiece. A tiny suggestion, I wonder if you would like to add some subtitles properly, so maybe it would be more friendly to non-English native players like me~

Awesome idea and well thought out! The voice over narrative made the games so much more enjoyable and I have rarely heard it in jam games. Had a couple of laughs and a lot of fun.

alexis-brochec 2024-04-17 18:33

Wow amazing game. The concept is great, the mood is great (a lot of humour as well as some little political barbs)

ohfiddlediddle 2024-04-18 04:28

@patrick-pang thank you for the high praise, I really appreciate it! I often try to make games with voice acting, and not having subtitles is always my biggest disappointment in my voice acted game jam games. I think because you are technically allowed to bring existing codebases into the jam now, I think I will create a subtitle system outside of the game jam so I can help make the game more accessible (without losing hours in the game jam itself).

ohfiddlediddle 2024-04-18 04:28

@usenrame @zagony2613 @fenix131113 @johnkoop @ekkiiiii @alexis-brochec Thank you all for your amazing feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to play my game!

megh-menghani 2024-04-19 17:45

Amazing game, it was really immersive, had fun, 10/10 for sure

fabula-rasa 2024-04-21 11:54

Quite a unique interpretation of the theme and a fun game to play. It's very cool that "Restart" option restarts after the orientation, this way you can try out different scenario without clicking through that one all the time.

The atmosphere is very nice, and the voice acting is great. I liked the subtle humor and the worldbuilding. I sort of might have caused a big pileup on a road :wink:

@fabula-rasa thank you for the nice comments! I came up with the idea of the restart skipping the intro/orientation, after having to hear my own voice thousands of times in a row haha.

baluj 2024-04-23 20:14

I like the concept and it's a good game. Good job!

wisstopher 2024-04-23 20:56

Absolutely incredible, one of my favorites and its gone in my hall of fame folder for this Jam. I was laughing throughout. Well done!

beeb-gamecodecompany 2024-04-28 23:29

Pretty cute game, I think the intro went on a little too long but good variety with gameplay, decent voice acting and humor as well. For some reason I thought this was a compo game, I would've lost my mind if this had been compo since there's no way someone can make this in 2 days lol.

loukpro 2024-04-30 09:30

Really good game and I liked the fact that there were plenty of games. Also I liked your voices ;)

josang1567 2024-05-02 08:28

Good game, i really love the mini games

Voice acting junkie reporting in :eyes: At the moment of writing this comment I've only collected four endings but was already bursting with the raging need to post a comment and thank you for this little gem. Games like this make me remember that the "humor" category is there for a reason!
