Haha, i love it, the voice, the intro, the messages, the fun mechanics! 11/10 in mood

michaelshollaj 2024-10-07 21:16

The intro was amazing, I saw it all, and it kinda reminded me my past xD so I killed all the roaches with passion :D great job, really fun game!!

ghatazorg 2024-10-07 21:16

I loooved the humor! Poor Yvette, Gaston, Brice, Suzanne and all the others :cry:

guiik 2024-10-07 21:25

Thanks everyone ! Don't hesitate to play again, we added an outro video :)

vjta088x 2024-10-07 21:30

I really enjoyed the cool cut scenes, also very fun. Very good job.

g-miaz 2024-10-07 21:50

The story was very very funny and well acted I loved the whole mood of your game, and the music upon it is great too! Easy and fun to play!

ulysselenglen 2024-10-07 22:34

Many good ideas, good art, funny story and acting !

oldzombie14 2024-10-08 02:33

OMG i was laughing out loud when I start to vomit! cute idea

joror 2024-10-08 16:13

The voiceover... is Great. The storytelling, awesome and hilarious. I was laughing 😂 After the intro the game twisting to squishing bugs was also quite fun. The gameplay itself is fairly basic but fun.

Well done. 7/5 mood/humor/audio

jiri-hysek 2024-10-08 16:17

Awesome, it's moody and hilarious at the same time :) I love especially noir parts, graphics, voiceovers, and music... Great entry guys!

ccollider 2024-10-08 16:19

I will say, I definitely didn't have "alcohol-fueled noir bass rampage" on my LD bingo card. Solid gameplay well presented!

kr1mzon 2024-10-08 16:59

good mood idea is nice i loved the humor

nevercontent 2024-10-08 17:08

Forget about her. She was just a dumb broad.

whyitss 2024-10-08 17:38

Hilariously funny. art is great. the best game i've seen in the event! not a single complaint.

postfrog 2024-10-08 17:43

Not a fan of the AI art to say the least, and the lack of consistent graphic direction overall was a bit of shame. However, the idea of having the screen filled with sentences dedicated to each roach you killed is a great joke, and I like the absurdity of the game's idea overall

kirass 2024-10-08 17:46

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

perro 2024-10-08 18:00

This game really stood out to me for its visuals and gameplay offered. Really excellent game. Well done!

parxer 2024-10-08 18:19

Well done! The voiceover and overall mood are especially noteworthy. The gameplay could maybe use some kind of a threat/challenge system, but I definitely enjoyed this one!

andrewkennedy 2024-10-09 00:07

Insane, weird, funny, and unique. The noir storytelling was wonderful, and really sold the absurd humor.

Gameplay-wise, it would have been more interesting if there had been more of a challenge. I realized I could just walk away to get the upright bass to respawn, and then kill waves of cockroaches pretty quickly.

Keeping a history of every dead bug at the end was a nice little touch. Good job!

zastegnushka 2024-10-09 13:33

Surrealistic and great, interesting setting, pixelart is super great

tyrannas 2024-10-09 15:20

While the gameplay itself wasnt extremly fun and quite repetitive, the mood, voiceacting, music, graphics of the "cutscenes" and humor were really on point ! Loved that "noir" atmosphere

wegpast 2024-10-09 22:10

2024-10-10_00-02.png I saw what you did there :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Well done for voicing this out ! The graphic is interesting and inconsistent at the same time. It didn't prevent me to have fun looking for the bugs and reading the fun kill-lines though :p

imberny 2024-10-09 23:48

Nice atmosphere! I'd like for my main character and yours to do a jam session XD

crozzy 2024-10-10 08:58

Cool art in the game, it was quite fun to play)

guiik 2024-10-10 10:55

@wegpast during testing I actually got this sentence with my own name haha

guiik 2024-10-10 10:55

@imberny I guess if they made a song it wouldn't be a happy one :joy:

sbeif 2024-10-11 12:43

Very funny ending, cool idea and great voice acting. The only suggestion I can give you is to try to stick to a more cohesive art style. Having a single style, even if very simple and minimal, often works better than cool mismatching pieces

nicole-a 2024-10-12 10:34

a really good entry, I enjoyed it. Great audio and humor

pierallard 2024-10-13 09:11

The graphics of the stories are so nice ! Your game is polished, you have a nice story, and end, it's playable from beginning to the end (and btw wtf is the twist at the end lol) Very nice entry !

h1de0 2024-10-14 08:23

@pierallard (french?) the game is the origin story of the superhero. What can we say, we aim at big franchises lol.

Thank you for playing ! :heart:

enderswype 2024-10-15 19:34

i can smell your french behind your accent haha Nice story telling and voice acting ! You fit perfectly in the theme

velvetlobster 2024-10-15 21:08

how did I miss this one until this moment, this is amazing omg please release it on steam and let me pay for it

Ah, the text, the music, and the cutscenes are all truly impressive. Just impressive. It's my favorite.

I watched the trailer and remember not being able to hold back my laughter at more than one moment.

I truly believe it's quite challenging for anyone to score higher than this in humor.

Great game! Visuals were a bit messy at times and I found the BFG mostly useless, but it was fun, and the cutsceners are really remarkable

h1de0 2024-10-17 11:59

@lolhopen, the BFG is useless on purpuose. You play as a drunk elephant trying to kill cockroaches in the street and the gun is of course, the worst. Glad you liked it and left a comment !

fork-on-the-table-studios 2024-10-25 00:19

This was awesome, this dark theme combined with the humor was amazing. I think this is a good example of simple mechanics used very well. Congrats!
