Really cute and funny! Last level is a very nice touch :)

The level of polish on this game is incredible, especially for a solo project completed in just 48 hours! The sound effects are excellent, the gameplay is smooth and intuitive, and the design, while minimalistic, is stunningly beautiful. Amazing work!

I love the idea, made a simple game mechanic way more interessting by adding a nice touch and waaaaaay too cute sounds, well done!

Funny idea and great execution. I was really surprised by the title & the resolution from the description (that it's about the importance of commas). Also the sound design is doing a good job, with not too intrusive but rhythmic music and the sounds that the comma makes when thrown :)

Overall, good job!

Fun and cute!

Very funny and cute game! 🎮✨ I liked the original idea and its excellent execution. Simple mechanics become much more interesting thanks to cute sounds and stylish design. 🎶🎨 I was especially impressed by how well everything was done in 48 hours! Excellent work, the game left only positive emotions! 👍😊

The sound are cute! And the idea is so good. Adding a "," to change weird words. It's so funny!

Hey, very interesting concept, it's really polished and I can see this game translated to many languages using typical phrases from each language or country. Gj!

That's a fantastic example of how to make a simple idea into a really nice and interesting jam entry. Game jams is not just about making new mechanics, it's about making a nice short experience, and you achieved it with great success. Good job on it! I absolutely love it!

I love everything about this! The idea is so fun and humorous, and the execution is perfect. Even though the last level didn't make perfect thematic sense with the rest of the game, it was a fun tongue in cheek way to end it. Great job!

This made me so happy! I was really invested in the game and enjoyed playing it a lot!

jacobwinters 2024-10-07 20:24

The apostrophe level. The semicolon level. *The music/SFX sliders in the menu -* `Music [---,---]` *- the handles are commas.*

malenia 2024-10-08 00:14

I love the weeeee! the final level is truly perfection; and this is a good way to teach grammar to people, I would give a game like this to a class of first graders if it had more levels. my only suggestion is to make the invisible walls visible so i dont smack the boi

okshirl 2024-10-08 04:02

This is such a fun idea, love the little sounds and voices coming from our little guy. I think it'd be great to be able to see the last parabola you fired at so you can make small adjustments :)

Interesting mini game! I love the funny audio and admire your great imagination!

jack-d-taylor 2024-10-08 12:40

Great game, finally someone cares about commas! :D

Love the visual style, sounds and overall concept

johncoffee 2024-10-08 13:04

That is a great game, the theme is felt throughout the whole. I liked the programming reference at the end. It fits together really well as a small rounded out package.

mrantoinest 2024-10-08 13:09

omg i love it ! Already one of my favorite Jam games of this Ludum Dare ! Simple and funny, good job !

crozzy 2024-10-08 17:24

An interesting idea of the game, I liked it and it was quite interesting to play. Fun)))

sudocoffee 2024-10-08 17:34

This is a lovely little game, the different yells were really cute, and the jokes are on point (or on comma). There was a nice difficulty curve to the aiming, especially once you had to start aiming between lines.

Also, I see someone has an opinion on the Oxford comma ;)

kirass 2024-10-08 17:44

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

rachelftech 2024-10-08 18:18

I enjoyed this! Very polished feeling experience. Funnily I was actually considering a similar idea in the brainstorming phase :smile:. Great work!

arcadeeleven 2024-10-08 21:10

Nice idea, and very minimalistic style. Well done !

vidarn 2024-10-09 18:39

Loved this! Such a great idea, and very well implemented! I'm impressed with how funny and varied each of the lines were. Great stuff!

thesand 2024-10-10 19:41

What a great consept, you should really continue with this and make it a complete game! Such great polish form art, settings page and music/sounds. You did an amazing job with this one! Love the last level with the programing word! Skärmklipp3.PNG

I'm jealous of games like this. Everything is just right here. The idea, the sound, the graphics and the humor. The concept is simple, but with the different levels it offers just enough variety to be challenging and motivating. Perfect.

sockenpuppe 2024-10-11 20:11

I love this so much! Who would have ever thought that a comma could be cute? Well, it is! Very much so, especially in combination with the sounds it makes.

Humor was on point! The phrases you used really showcased what can happen to their meaning if there's a comma missing. What was that saying again? Commas can save lives haha :)

fabula-rasa 2024-10-14 00:12

Superb, just superb. Finally, a game for the language nerd in me :books: I adore this concept, the theme interpretation is truly unique and the implementation rocks as well. Everything is well-polished, even Georgia font is very fitting. Pure perfection. Thank you for this gem.

captandrey 2024-10-16 22:27

simple and good! "unusial" last level was great) i also like funny comma sound design, im sure it was a lot of fun recording it

manamat 2024-10-19 03:05

Had so much fun playing this game! Love the apostrophe being the tiny little creature and the last level was a nice touch! The title made me curious to play this game haha

baturinsky 2024-10-19 16:02

Sounds are great, graphics is neat, but more variety in gameplay would be nice.

madbarron 2024-10-19 22:17

Great entry! Nice and simple. Entertaining, surprising, funny, and it looks great! Congrats :)

invader 2024-10-20 12:33

This is a great example of how commas can save lives! Really enjoyed this cute and fun game.

philstrahl 2024-10-21 01:42

What a great and original take on the theme! Loved also the charming "Wheeeee!" sound effects! Thanks for submitting!

This game is wonderfully clever. Minorly envious I didn't think of it myself. Compliments to the chef👌

dp3rucha 2024-10-22 09:48

Lovely game and imaginative idea. GJ!

empyreans 2024-10-23 18:54

Amazing, minimalistic game and in terms of scope to the jam, I think this is an exceptionally brilliant idea!

I love a well cooked game developer! :smirk:

Man, this game is awesome! I know I am late to the show, but after playing your LD58 game on stream this just caught my attention and it did not disappoint! :-D

This is so funny, very very nice! The end is just perfect.

yoav-kagan 2025-10-10 15:33

@gonutz Wow! Thanks for checking it out :)
