This is so amazingly cute! Reminds me of the soot sprites from Totoro! Hectic, fun, engaging, and full of charm/character. I want a roose dude myself.

This feels really polished for a game jam game and I loved my time with it

I had a lot of fun playing this game! Good idea and realistion!

sometimes you have to clean up, but not today xd

Couldnt really play it at the source. looks interesting tho!

Adorable!!! The little guys feel like they're straight out of a Ghibli film and that makes me smile. :)

hahah great game! the audio art and gameplay are topnotch. could be easily be a mobile game. I would add a danger icon when an cleaner its entering the screen.

Really funny, and so hard, I couldn't bring them all back :D

Well done!

The dudes are funny! But the vacuum cleaners took almost all of them. %(

I agree with Cisco, it could be a mobile game. Great job!

timo5034 2024-10-08 18:26

@cisco @yoanntsitionis Thank you! It actually does run on mobile :D

omi-kun 2024-10-08 22:44

Looks very polished!

Very cool game, well done! Your game is really cute.

I love this! Guiding the little dudes felt intuitive and easy to understand with no text at all! I was enjoying my time, then got spooked when I saw the first roomba and realized that these little guys were in danger. Very fun time!

I really like the idea. The game is well made, very nice and comfortable to play. And the design is very cute. Very cool

Those little dudes are extremely cute and finishing the level was surprisingly challenging. The only issue was that the audio was crunching (especially little dude voices), and the whole was slightly lagging in the browser. Ah, yes, and I finished with a signel dude -_-".

OHMYGOD we had the same idea!! i have this e x a c t mechanic in my game, but like, obv different

This is executed so fun! i love the idea with the lazer pointer, comments did say that mine could benefit from clearer point of interest for my lil guys-- I noticed that the baloon color and the letter blocks were randomised, but i think this game could benefit from some more randomisation, bbbuuuuuut that also could get too close into the "cheap mobile brainless game" and thats not good- maybe just more checkpoints so you can replay only certain parts? idk...

But, anyways, this was so fun! I couldnt finish the level just yet, but i had to write this coment before i countinue cause this is so fun!! Im so glad i found it this is awesome

Very fun game and impressively polished for a game jam! I had some problem with finishing the level because the laser pointer would go bananas as the height difference kicked in. I had some 30 dudes and only managed to rescue 8, even when I knew what was coming. Other than that, everything was splendid, great job!

Super cute and very polished. I laughed at the first Roomba of Death, then they ganged up and killed all my dudes!

flightless 2024-10-21 13:38

We don't talk about the Roomba incident :sweat_smile: Great atmosphere!

Well done to the team! A fantastic game. It's filled with charm and a great balance of level design and mechanics. The music and sound effects were great in tying the mood together with the visuals! The only issue I faced was that the more dudes I collected the laggier the game got, other wise great job, keep it up!

vodzik 2024-10-24 21:25

Funny little creatures. Reminds me the Soot Sprites from Spirited Away. Nice, clean graphic and funny sounds. I like this game

justmars 2024-10-24 21:31

Fantastic aesthetics and fun gameplay! The game had a good amount of length without feeling repetitive. Especially liked the parts where the dudes would split into multiple paths and reunite at a later point. Music and sounds were really nice and the graphics were superb, very cohesive in general. Wouldn't have had anything to complain, until the very end when the game glitched when the dudes were (presumably?) supposed to jump in the box but instead disappeared leaving the camera to continue forever with one dude in the score counter. But other than that minor issue, this was an excellent jam entry, very well done!

That was a really fun entry. Dang Roombas! I thought I was at the end with the box but when they jumped off it said game over you lost all your dudes? I really liked the swarming algo and the control method. Thanks for making this fun and delightful game!

I think you really explored the mechanic thoroughly here! Nice progression and so many variants with relatively few building blocks. It was really cool to see! I always strive to iterate on a game mechanic, but I find it really difficult. So pat yourselves on the back!

Though, I think I might have stumbled on the finish line 🥲 Guess I got too exited. Still had a blast!
