I found it enjoyable. I wish there was a web version.

nice job for your first game in Ludum ! wiun.png

ira-baciu 2025-10-07 11:44

The restart works not so good :( Can u do something about it?

8212games 2025-10-07 17:59

@lrdjj thank you! I'm glad to see that someone completed the game)

8212games 2025-10-07 18:27

@ira-baciu Hello! What exactly isn't working? I've played this game hundreds of times on 3 different computers and and haven't encountered any bugs( I noticed 'RU' in your profile — can you speak Russian language?

ira-baciu 2025-10-07 18:33

@8212games у меня не получается нормально перезапустить игру, к сожалению.Я получаю урон от коллектора и игра просто зависает. Может, проблема в моём устройстве, не знаю :(

8212games 2025-10-07 18:40

@ira-baciu Интересно... Спасибо за обратную связь! Попробуем на других компах запустить и посмотреть код получения урона. Честно - у меня 0 идей, почему такое может происходить)))

That was pretty funny haha, I had fun messing around with the debt collector, I also didn't see that g is grab, so my first play through to complete the game I figured out a way to stand the the debt collector and jump up to get the money on the balcony haha! I also had a glitch where the debt collector just doesn't attack me for some reason, that was also pretty funny

8212games 2025-10-08 10:22

@kinn Thanks for the detailed feedback! Yeah, the attack code is working weirdly and I still don't get how to fix it)

欧莫,只要一到门口,收债人就能攻击到我,是我太慢了吗,感觉那个位置必死,也没有声音,但是这种躲避抓捕的感觉好刺激,好有创意哈哈,如果来点音乐和音效就好了,很喜欢

volkolak 2025-10-08 11:40

I got it after a couple of tries. At one point, the collector got blocked by a box, assembled the pyramid, and jumped onto the balcony. I liked it, and the seemingly simple endings were spiced up with humor. Great entry into the competition, congratulations!

roberttory 2025-10-08 11:43

мне нравится , выглядит прикольно учитывая что за 3 дня сделано

8212games 2025-10-08 12:39

@5757 Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the chasing mechanic! Unfortunately, we didn't have time to finalize the audio before the jam ended, but we might return to this idea and implement it properly in the future

8212games 2025-10-08 12:40

@volkolak большое спасибо!

8212games 2025-10-08 12:44

@roberttory спасибо! Жалко, что не было времени с рендерингом разобраться нормально и вся картинка выглядит раза в 2 хуже, чем она выглядела в Блендер)

dendi-life 2025-10-08 13:31

not bad, thats cool

b0guslaw 2025-10-08 15:36

Nice game! Fun take on the collector theme. If I can recommend you something that happened to us as well using Godot: Anchor your UI. If you make the game full screen, it messes up the UI if its not anchored. I would have liked a pause menu as well, so I can pause or restart the game by myself. I like the art assets you did for the game, and bunnyhopping on boxes to escape the collector was a lot of fun

alexanrd 2025-10-08 15:39

ADDING DIFFERENT SOUNDS WILL MAKE IT MORE FUN

8212games 2025-10-08 16:11

@b0guslaw Thank you, that's very helpful advice!

skale 2025-10-08 20:12

Ok... I can't win this, haha. Nice game, simple yet fun. It lacks sounds effects and music though

schu 2025-10-08 21:44

Great use of the theme. It was fun jumping around and I found the visuals really charming

trevor-lentz 2025-10-09 05:05

I couldn't win, but it's because of how difficult it is to get those boxes to move in a predictable way. Very solid game with smooth gameplay.

8212games 2025-10-09 07:26

Thank you, guys!

eugenik 2025-10-09 08:47

The colour palette is the key, living for it.

8212games 2025-10-09 14:13

@eugenik big thanks!)

korzhik 2025-10-09 15:45

Interesting funny game

gonulgaye 2025-10-09 17:15

I like it!✨️🎉👾

boncebon 2025-10-09 17:15

I've been looking for a game about a debt collector for a while. It's a cool idea, and almost no one has used it. It could use a little more scope and possibilities to make it more interesting. Thanks for the game!

8212games 2025-10-09 18:29

Thank you, everyone!

@boncebon Hello! Yeah, we would've liked to add more features, but we didn't have enough time( The main idea in our concept was the physics and the fun interaction between physical elements, so we focused on realizing that and... kinda forgot about the level design)

oxbuddulaj 2025-10-09 21:08

nice environment, lighting and colors! any background sound (wind, humming) would make it more engaging though; sound is as important as visuals for immersion. good luck!

8212games 2025-10-09 21:27

@oxbuddulaj thanks!

taximan981 2025-10-10 08:32

Simple, quick, clean, nice work!

2025-10-10 14:10

Wow, it is a very full 3d game.

zelew 2025-10-10 18:07

good job!

kapricorn-media 2025-10-10 18:32

haha i really appreciate the vibes of this game. Simple premise, simple execution = fun stuff

paulsams 2025-10-11 16:30

Well done for making some kind of finished game. Of course, I would like to add a path finder to the collector (in godot nothing built-in or something that can be easily connected?), but that's okay. The main thing is that I'm done.

cody-raethke 2025-10-11 20:54

Nice first entry! I enjoyed playing with the physics and moving the boxes around. It would have been more fun to have a few more "puzzles" that required stacking the boxes in unique ways. It also wasn't clear to me who the terrifying red-faced person was - an angry debtor? A competing debt collector? Some sort of demon??

8212games 2025-10-12 20:35

Thank you, everyone!

@paulsams That's a good question... I believe Godot does have something like that, but I'm not sure how to get it working)

@cody-raethke That's another good question! I thought the man with the red head was kinda like a debt collector from hell)

binroot 2025-10-22 01:50

3D box physics?? Sign me up!

8212games 2025-10-22 08:30

@binroot Glad you're feeling it!)

ginger-kyoko 2025-10-22 10:24

The game looks very stylish. It's missing some cool underground hip-hop music. Unfortunately, when the debt collector corners me somewhere, I can't escape; the most I can do is close the game and restart. It would be great if I could at least push him away. But it would be even cooler if I could fight him and he could take my money, for example, and to get it back, I'd have to fight him again, or offer some kind of deal, or talk some kind of joke (this action will have consequences). These are just me throwing out some ideas for improvement after the jam. So good luck ;)

By the way, if you like games with a slightly strange atmosphere, you might also want to check out our game 😜

8212games 2025-10-24 08:28

@ginger-kyoko спасибо! Ваши предложения просто супер, но в 3х дневном формате командой из 2х человек мы еле успели реализовать этот билд) А ещё у него не будет пост-релизной поддержки, но часть графики и приколов с физикой я уже переработал для нашей большой игры!
