Fun little game, would be great for mobile!

goiaba-games 2025-04-08 01:24

Really love the humor and graphics of the game. Little guys with blank stares accept their fate as they descend with their office chairs into the core of the earth. Where exactly are they going? Why are they doing this? Why are their buttocks so pronounced? We may never know.

Gameplay was a little too hard for me. I swear I tried to make it to the bottom but I had to call it quits at some point. Maybe if the game had some music, more lenient controls and a score that keeps track of how far the player managed to go, the game would be more encoraging to players. T'was fun, though.

Good job!

I love the coral reef bg. The corals are so pretty! I honestly wished there was more of that environment. Would definitely port well to mobile. And neat that you got different skins in there! I wish there was BGM though

AmogusCoreWin.PNG I cannot believe I tried so hard to beat this game, just to be rewarded with another death at the very bottom!

All joking aside, this game looks smooth and perfect for what it set out to do. The increasing difficulty in each section was well done, as the last gold stretch had me doubting if I could get past it at all. A fun, little frustrating package that could be a good rage type of game. Amogus was funny to see as well. Good job!

@toppervideogames WOW! YOU MADE IT! IM SO PROUD

izzqz 2025-04-08 11:37

@goiaba-games Thank you! Nice feedback. We actually thinking about to make production ready build

tailchaser 2025-04-08 12:02

The graphics are soooo nice, love it!

2025-04-08 12:38

Love the graphics and the gameplay - nicely done

lerashimin 2025-04-08 12:40

@amberfall92 thank u so much!! I hope that we will finish this game and I will be able to devote more time to the visual :>

lerashimin 2025-04-08 12:42

@tailchaser thank u <3

The art looks nice, and the game play is simple but fun. Music would've been a nice addition. Some sort of procedural generation would've been nice too to give variety between runs.

popdaddygames 2025-04-08 12:43

You did an excellent job with this gameplay mechanic and implementation! Great job on the artwork!

Using the click to change directions mechanic is great and one of my favorite ways to do this exact game type and you freaking nailed it!

morepixels 2025-04-08 12:43

This was really cool! Didn't quite make it to the bottom but was a really fun game to play!

cherrybcake 2025-04-08 13:38

The graphics are really nice! Good work!

otsvar 2025-04-08 14:36

Одна из немногих игр на людуме, в которой качественно успели сделать ВСЕ Серьезно, и визуал, и геймлей, и звуки, при том что играть не скучно и как залипалка убить время это прекрасная игра Вы даже скины запилить успели, восхищаюсь, 10/10

xorfe 2025-04-08 14:57

It’s very hard to control with a mouse, but it has a good feel to it.

ryusohyeong 2025-04-08 14:58

The game is so funny and hard in the same time! It looks like Flappy Bird but i was enjoyed to play:)

nonumbersgames 2025-04-08 15:04

Funny character, really liked the death animation :D

While the controls were simple, they were snappy and satisfying to master. Good game, I enjoyed it!

jester1454 2025-04-08 15:11

small and funny arcade, reminded me of flappy bird. graphics and animations are very cool. the game just needs a scoring system and leaderboards! cool!

hernandack 2025-04-08 15:12

lol I know it's a neat Depths mechanic but still fun to play, looking at the sprite lol

psychomonster 2025-04-08 15:17

Hey, this is a very hard game for my slowly moving brain :) Cool GFX and +1 for the among skin. One thing, we need a highscore :)

andreadbx 2025-04-08 15:54

Fun little game! Pretty difficult, but that's the point no? :D I loved the animation when you smash onto something, it's soooooooooo satisfying, also, AMOGUS, SUS

timelost 2025-04-08 15:56

Very challenging game but the art is cool. The sounds are amazing and the restart times are perfect for this style of game. The game is just lacking some music. Overall super cool polished game.

no-firing 2025-04-08 16:00

Fun, good game 💖

sylvic 2025-04-08 16:03

The game loop is very entertaining, congratulations! Like some others have said, this could be a nice mobile game. I did ran into an issue tho, after my 5th or 6th try I started getting a lot of stuttering, but went away after I reloaded.

philocode 2025-04-08 16:04

Hey, this is a pretty cool idea - very much like flappy bird, but on the other axis. I really tried, but didn't manage to beat it, but it clearly is intended to be somewhat hard. The game also looks great, well done!

rensun 2025-04-08 16:06

I like it a lot!!!! Your game came out insanely addictive, I want to play again and again, it turned out in my view quite abruptly because of which I could not go further than the red depth, I would download it on IOS and would rububil'd in it every day, while I go to the subway, the theme by the way also revealed perfectly and the back of the characters just haha)

teist 2025-04-08 16:25

Really nice graphics! I'm not good enough to reach the end though

nsadie 2025-04-08 17:02

Very silly and fun! My boys loved it and was laughing so much. Especially at the characters booty :laughing:

mauzart 2025-04-08 17:04

I like it very much ! Would love to have it on my smartphone, and I'm a big fan of those characters butts haha I've trief to reach the bottom, but clearly I'm not good enough

nevercontent 2025-04-08 17:05

I love it when LD games are this easy to understand. It's weirdly fun too.

jack-turpitt 2025-04-08 17:13

This is a really cool entry! The illustrated backgrounds are such a nice touch and make the progression much more satisfying. The mechanic itself is a nice take on the theme. I'm a sucker for skins too. Great work!

thatfirey 2025-04-08 17:17

AMONG UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS. cool game. fun. Gets a bit overwhelmengly hard from 4th layer, but still fun, again really liked the inclusion of among us in this game, it added a lot, thank you.

hope42morrow 2025-04-08 17:59

АМОГУСС!1

pigeon-dp 2025-04-08 18:04

Super cool game, and a great idea. Loved the gameplay. It could use some kind of score tracker, though. Artstyle is :fire: :fire: :fire:

kseon 2025-04-08 18:08

the controls are a bit heavy, but it's cool cute toy

bananplyte 2025-04-08 18:23

Really cool game. Made me yell out of rage. Several times. In a good way. The best way.

kekyr 2025-04-08 20:16

Made it to the bottom. Like it very much. Cool art and sound effects. Excellent work!

indiealesha 2025-04-08 20:46

Fun game! Though it's a shame it's based on a popular franchise rather than original characters. That said, it's still beautiful and well-made—good luck with it!

kristijan 2025-04-08 20:47

Very challenging game! I'd love to see different level variations—and hopefully one day see it on the App Store. Great job! 📱🔥

joscco 2025-04-08 20:58

I love it! Takes some time to get good at the controls but then, it's very catchy. I came here for the butts and wasn't disappointed <3

dywanix 2025-04-08 21:21

Very fun idea and lowely graphics!

farzher 2025-04-08 21:25

i beat the game and just died, sadge. graphics are great, and it controls well. gg

salaro 2025-04-08 23:57

Not the little bums!!!!!!

ln404 2025-04-09 01:13

Very fun! Good job!

bad-fetus 2025-04-09 01:15

Love seeing a simple game! This is basically a vertical Flappy Bird and it works well, smart use of the theme! Pretty graphics help make it a short and sweet experience. Well done!

mmayans 2025-04-09 03:27

Super cute and very smooth game. It took me a second to understand the controls, but once i did, i had to play until i hit the bottom. The little whoosh sound effects every time you switch direction were very satisfying. The graphics were well done, i liked the backgrounds! One thing you could've done was add a parallax effect to give it a little more depth. I enjoyed playing this!

adam-gallina 2025-04-09 04:13

Really liked the art and the death animation especially was nice and snappy. The gameplay itself felt a little barebones, but it was still fun to explore the different biomes and see what came next!

thesecondleft 2025-04-09 06:38

Cool minimalistic game. Very nice visuals, and easy to understand mechanics, which however make you strain yourself in overcoming them

chiyeon 2025-04-09 08:27

Love the art style/overall presentation, and the actual mechanic was fun and highly replayable. Right amount of difficulty that required lots of practice/effort to get better at (at least for someone slow like me), making even small wins feel all the better. Well done!

quackqack 2025-04-09 13:05

hard but very fun!

cinar 2025-04-09 15:37

Great artstyle, perfect entry keep up :rocket:

onlyallygrace 2025-04-09 20:21

very addicting to play - can easily get sucked in. unfortunately im BAD at it lol but it's still fun!! the death animation makes me giggle every time. great game, hope you guys had fun making it!

monogatari 2025-04-09 23:29

Hey good job, the game is so cute ! it misses a little music but the sfx are nice. It works fine, not too hard once you got it, addictive.

ruruie 2025-04-10 00:33

Crisp and to the point.

cammin 2025-04-10 00:52

I could only get down like 3 layers, but I really like the sussy guy in this game, very good. If I could offer some feedback, it's that I'd like some more immediate feedback when I click to switch direction. But quite enjoyable.

xpoho 2025-04-10 03:11

I couldn't reach the end, but I was close ^_^

Good game!

anifan-gelati 2025-04-10 11:41

It's simple, but who says it's just bad. Me? Him? Who's there?.. In general, it turned out cool.

tenzz 2025-04-10 16:42

Hmm... yes... He is the impostor, the cheeks never lie

buni 2025-04-10 18:24

Cute game - I enjoyed it :)

alphabetasoup 2025-04-10 22:05

RIP my spacebar! This game was a ton of fun. For some constructive feedback, it'd be great to be able to tune down the force that pulls right.

chocolatedoodads 2025-04-11 01:14

yo so great, i kept on dieing at the rocky part

protzz 2025-04-11 16:47

fun idea! good job!

crow-seeds 2025-04-11 16:54

swing_ending.png

Made it to the end, was a fun time waster haha

milestone-games 2025-04-11 21:16

Fun and mega frustrating! Took a lot of tries to get anywhere. Really well executed, can see this being quite successful on mobile!

jamesgames1000 2025-04-12 02:37

I really had to scroll down here to leave a comment XD I had a lot of fun playing this. At first I thought I could spam click to get to the bottom but I was very wrong XD Great job :)

7uc4s 2025-04-12 17:46

I liked the graphics, tried a few times but did not have the patience to continue to the end :sweat_smile:

captandrey 2025-04-12 19:56

Simple and fun! I tried to cheat by spamming clicks at first, but the level design quickly shut that down — nicely done 😄

krakadushka 2025-04-12 23:21

So smooth! Very relaxing)

paulhocker 2025-04-12 23:50

such a great and simple flappy clone -- loved the artwork and the one more play vibe -- thanks for making it

borabee 2025-04-13 16:27

As a fellow developer of a single control game, I like the limitations you added here! hehe Very fun game overall to play and I love the humour of the character sitting on a little office chair lol

euler-moises 2025-04-14 12:35

A person has to have a lot of imagination to create a diver in a chair with wheels. If there was a score for imagination, it would definitely be 5 stars.

A depth gauge and ranking were missing. Even with the differentiation of the scene, a gauge would be interesting.

Audio was also missing.

But I laughed a lot with the little butt.

Congratulations

ammonit 2025-04-15 12:29

Haha, that's me on a chair with a bare butt, diving into my procrastination abyss ))) Fun game!

olddog 2025-04-17 09:55
