Wow nice game! Music sets you up for a meditative pastime. Model is good too! Great work! This seems like the most unexpected ending=)

bitluderrb7804fr 2024-04-15 22:25

Yay, that was fun. And the model is cute and scary at the same time, I love it!

It's a little diamond of Ludum. Perfect mood, bravo!Everyone need to see the final of the game! Not so easy understand how to use it, but it possible.

Very good game, you really think you're putting together a figurine. The feedback is worked on and the interactions are smooth.

yoyoj 2024-04-16 11:01

Hey, nice game and cool visuals :) bit complicated to have the good interactions

fenix131113 2024-04-16 11:03

A very good atmosphere, and a funny video at the end🤪

sstyles93 2024-04-16 11:03

Very nice mood and graphics, interactions are quite hard. You probably should increase the size of the "cutting zones". But the game is overall very nice and the idea is fun and gives me a nostalgic warhammer effect ^_^

tracex 2024-04-16 11:07

The ending made me laugh, great game!

gamesplusjames 2024-04-16 11:08

This is a fun idea! Great job :)

kekluck 2024-04-16 11:08

That was a lot of fun while still relaxing! Insane mood, and great overall polished feeling. Great job!

A very atmospheric game. The assembly of the model is coolly done. There are minor inconveniences in the management. And so a good job

I was expecting some animation at the end but it was WAAAY more awesome.

roman-dubrovin 2024-04-16 12:08

Until the finish, I thought it was not a fun but rather relaxing game + a simulator of mess on the table=) But in the end, I was laughing=) The end is fun, to be honest=)

Really nice music and graphics, some of the phycs where getting in a way of me getting to some stuff on the table, I felt a strong urge to have a trash can somewhere. The most rewarding summoning screen ever! :D I even got some of the French narrator's words I actually really appreciated the little cute Godzilla and how nice it ended up to be. Would be cool if you can paint it pink to be in full fashion for the final movie :DD

This is awesome!! I don't know how you managed to create such a piece of software in 72 hours. The game crashed for me as I picked something up to move it out of the way so I didn't get to finish the kit but I will probably return to this some day to do so.

icebell 2024-04-16 22:21

Such a nice game, and a beautiful and fierce kaiju! The instructions clipped through the table as I dropped down the info, but luckily I could manage without! Great job!!

kirass 2024-04-16 23:05

I really liked this game! You guys are great!

albatross 2024-04-16 23:51

Great ambience, music, and mood! It took a little for me to figure out how I worked, but I was intrigued by the realism.

pusheeneiro 2024-04-17 14:58

Great idea

mololo 2024-04-17 15:04

Awesome game, I love how unique it is and the graphics are so good as well. I didn't expect the ending, so funny :laughing:

tesskallet 2024-04-17 15:37

Magnificent! I love simulators, but this is beyond all I know! Wow to overall, rated 5 star to all categories *_*

sariiger 2024-04-17 15:41

Such a relaxing and fun game. Great job! The ending killed me :joy:

blueanoli 2024-04-17 15:43

Godzilla is such a cute little fella ♥️ The ending made me laugh! Great music too! Trés bien!

francois-dervaux 2024-04-17 15:44

@tessKallet, Thanks for your support, it was a big risk for us to choose a type of game with so many interactions. Even if it's not perfect, we're very happy with the result. And seeing everyone so enthusiastic has got us thinking about making it a real game.

pokopish 2024-04-17 15:51

Very nice cozy experience! I really loved the theming on this one and the game works well. Only problem I had is that my instruction manual disappeared under the table, but I was able to figure out what I had to do anyway.

oblivioncreator 2024-04-17 15:59

This game has the worst control scheme I think I've ever experienced, and I love it so much for that. The ending had me (and the people I was in a call with) in hysterics the entire time and I don't think there's any words adequate to describe what experiencing this game blind was like.

tellatells 2024-04-17 16:00

I love this - fun idea and chill vibes, but I could imagine this getting hectic in it's own way as models get more complex and you have to sort through all your pieces. As someone else suggested, a trash can might be nice to help de-clutter and avoid layering issues. I would 100% play a whole game of just making cute little models if you continue to expand this beyond the jam!

koosalagoopagoop 2024-04-17 16:10

My favourite jam game so far for sure! It's so peaceful, graphics are very good, I wish there were tons more models to assemble when I've got time to kill. Super well done!

jack12342 2024-04-17 16:11

Interesting idea :)

tevasliutauras 2024-04-17 16:22

I share the opinion that this is an absolutely amazing idea to be developed into a full game! The jam version is a bit rough on the edges though, being halfway through a build and having the instructions or a piece clip through the table is a bit rage inducing :D. Don't get me wrong, it's still amazing what you've managed to accomplish a great jam entry!

bry 2024-04-17 16:43

Really unique experience. Well done all around!

drgcandle 2024-04-17 16:51

What could be more exciting than making models? Of course, it's creating models within video games!

coderaurus 2024-04-17 20:38

Quite janky on the controls but otherwise a nice experience. I like the model and the relaxing soundtrack.

Good work!

0x0961h 2024-04-18 09:38

Few nitpicks can be said about this entry really (like my instruction yeeted through the floor and I just built it all up as is, the "Destiny-like" slow "hold for action" snipping process, and the fact that empty spruce can not be removed from the table), but damn it's so well-made and in general just a pleasant experience with a very funny end cutscene. Good job, guys! :smile:

smidgens 2024-04-18 13:20

Neat, relaxing little concept. If you wanted to, you could totally expand this into a full game with all kinds of different kits and variations. Good job!

Control wise it might be nice if the cutters were pinned to the bottom of the screen so you could just drag them out, use them on your focused item, and then they'd just snap back to the bottom. Might also be nice if you could drag the plastic frames out of view once you've emptied them (zoom out and throw them into a bin?). The controls were definitely a little touchy but for me it had mostly to do with those two things (failing to select the cutter or accidentally selecting an empty frame).

deformhead 2024-04-18 15:14

Very well polished game, great art and idea, good job!

(FYI, it's a little perf-consuming for my mid-range PC : MS Surface Book 2, 7 years old)

gabriel-bissonnette 2024-04-18 16:28

The concept is awesome! Gameplay was super fun and minimalist, I liked the simple environment. Nice interpretation of the theme too! gg

whiteseason 2024-04-18 21:56

Very cute game. It has been already said, but a trash can somewhere or maybe sorting boxes would be welcome. Also, I think that it would be best if how to use the scissors was also explained inside the game, I was a bit confused at first, before I read the description on this page. But overall, a very fun game!

andreadbx 2024-04-18 22:27

Incredibly cute game, loved the idea!

jeanne-rossat 2024-04-19 07:59

Nice game ! I had real fun playing it. Love the design of the kaiju ! The interactions were sometimes quite tedious and there's room for improvement on this part, but man, they are still very impressive for a Game Jam project ! I sadly wasn't able to finish my kaiju baby because the game suddenly crashed on my part... Its dark powers were too much to handle on my browser, it seems :c Thank you for this treasure, good job everyone :muscle:

asfdfdfd 2024-04-19 19:47

For some stange unknonw reasons those meditative games REALLY UNCALMS ME. ARRRGGHH. Anyway, it's my problems. Nice entry!

aby 2024-04-21 01:33

I would have loved if the frames weren't convex (like you could click on object behind those), and if there was more feedbacks like an animation of the clamp. Other than that, very unique and relaxing gameplay. The music, warm lighting and colors really set the mood! Amazing game overall!
