The characters are adorable!

Nice concept and artstyle! I followed instructions but i think game didnt started properly

looks cute but I couldn't seem to control anything :(

dinobobbo 2024-10-08 04:24

@thatscooljack thank you and yes! In the instructions there's a known bug - you have to click 'Host Server' and then click 'Stop Host' and then click 'Host Server' again to get it to work! Not sure why it's like this as it doesn't happen in the unity editor itself :( I hope you can give it a go!

Its painting style is very cute! But no matter how I operate, no small man follows my operation... I don't know who I am anymore

@haogege thanks for the feedback! That is the intention of the game :)) it makes more sense in a multiplayer game where everyone has to figure out who they are controlling and to avoid giving that information away to the other players by pretending to be an NPC.

You also can accidentally grab yourself with the crane! So there is a good chance you knocked yourself out ^__^

@mitsukoy thank you and yes! In the instructions there’s a known bug - you have to click ‘Host Server’ and then click ‘Stop Host’ and then click ‘Host Server’ again to get it to work! Not sure why it’s like this as it doesn’t happen in the unity editor itself :( I hope you'll be able to give it a go!

I had fun! I'll continue playing this game

Very cute graphics and characters! Very cute! but I didn't understand what to do in how the gameplay goes..... But you guys are great

The idea is cool, but my character got stuck after I pressed the bullet. The graphics are cartoonish and cute. for jam trying to implement servers is a strong idea. Well done!!! But for the flaws, 7/10. Next time please emphasize during the jam on the playability of the build!

@oduvanic thank you! Yess if we had more time I would have loved to flesh the concept out more to be more clear - it's basically a deception game where no one is told which character they are, but you have to find out on your own and then discreetly take out your opponents! If multiplayer was working, the goal would be to eliminate your friends before they take you out, since the NPCs can only pick up batteries but not launch the crane themselves :)

Thank you so much!

tavevil 2024-10-10 04:03

Love love love the character design! apparently I'm not very good at posing as NPC..

but I had fun regardless!

Good job! really hope you guys are able to fully flesh out your ideas for this down the line

Super cute but I didn't understand how to play :'(

thyoi 2024-10-11 12:37

Doing multiplayer on gamejam is definitely the most ambitious goal. You guys have already done a great job!

@ghatazorg Thanks for the feedback Ghatazorg! In the instructions and comments there’s a known bug - you have to click ‘Host Server’ and then click ‘Stop Host’ and then click ‘Host Server’ again to get it to work! maybe give it a go again and see if it works for you!

I didn't get to try the multiplayer but thats super cool. Fun little game almost feels like something to be in Wario Ware or Mario Party!

john-wuller 2024-10-16 23:14

Fun concept, but it seems like you need more than one person to play. The concept reminded me a lot of Panoptic. It's a fun game if you have more than one person!

Very nice graphics. But the game has a lot of bugs (characters moving upside down or not at all) and I couldn't really play.
