This game is done impressively well, I love everything about it. One thing to say is that the different characters are a little tough to figure out in the beginning but once you figure it out it becomes addicting.
Fantastic aesthetics in this game. The color scheme was nice and cool and the way the camera moved with the character was very fun and made me really want to go fast!
hehehe. I had a good time, the sound effects are spot on.
The game is interesting for sure haha, poor Carl. I do like the multiple different nightmares he can have but it gets repetitive.
I like the charm this game has, but at times the audio was a bit much. Those ghost guys are great (:
I had a good time playing this, the visuals really make the game.
Hehe, at first the controls are very confusing but after a little bit of practice I found myself having some fun. Very cute.
Great game, the style is really effective and the concept is very easy to understand yet makes for some interesting puzzles.
I played this for a while and found it a little bit text heavy. There was a lot thrown at me at once, but once I did get into the gameplay it was nice (: Also, my broom moved off screen at one point and I could not recover it, haha.
I'm impressed by the amount of time you put into characters in this game-
Works how you say, go some strange collision problems though.
I loved this game, mostly because it's true. The art is also wonderful.
Really great game! The gameplay was addicting and I liked the pace of it.
I love this! The music is awesome, really makes me feel like I'm stressed out haha. The visuals are perfect and the visuals are very effective.
This game works really well! Very fun to play and frustrating at times, the music is missing but the audio you do have is effective.
Really cool! Loved the style of everything and the bit of lore was interesting too. The camera effects were nice but sometimes were a bit blinding in the sky. Controls were a bit confusing when I was trying to turn in the air.
@Spinaljack hey, thank you! So the only thing you choose in the beginning really is color, everything else is random. And yeah, those were place-holder screens, we will upload an updated version with those taken out because it gets annoying to accidentally click on them and they don't serve much purpose (:
@jhandsy @fixedgerald Hey thanks a bunch!! and out of three characters you can get you actually get a different jump height with each one.. I know the bunny can triple jump so that may be a bit over the top, we will play around with it to see if we can get a better balance.
Thanks so much! @la-mecanique-du-plastique It seems like the goals we had when we started this game were clear to you and that's very exciting. Ideally in a non jam version it would be paced a bit slower with more direct relation between Flurpie evolution and environment exploration.
@philomory Thanks, and yes! that's definitely an issue we were discussing while creating the game. I have an idea that if your status indoors (tiredness and such) affect your performance outdoors (slower, weaker) then you would have more reason to go back and spend some time with your Flurpie. Hopefully we can play with it and find a balance, thanks for the feedback!
@xavier-indie-gamedev wow thanks a bunch! and the and the answer to the pet sim game is.. no sleep at all haha.
@king-kujito hehe, that's so nice, I appreciate it ( :
Hahaha, I had a good time playing this. The music was fantastic, kept wanting to play just to listen to it. The intro scene was nice, maybe a bit too long and with too many random characters, but it had some good humor. Gameplay was nice, got overwhelmed with sound effects from being spotted too much at some point though hehe. Nice job!
Wooah, this is very cool! The art is so nice and moving through the tunnels is very satisfying, I guess I wanted more things to smash through haha. The gameplay was super surprising, new, and fun to me.
wow! This was so good, the puzzles were interesting and gave me a lot of satisfaction to figure out. The little chat dialogue was a nice break in between levels too. Great job!
This was a great puzzle game! And the graphics were super nice as well. The mayor was nice, he was included just enough to be a good break from the levels.
Hey, this was a lot of fun! The mechanics worked really well together, was fun to try and beat my score.
The models are real cute and the outline shader is a good touch but dang it was complicated to play and my rush strategy did not work out :)
Solid game, the flashlight effect was good, music was nice and sfx are always a plus. I'd explore trying to take the game deeper, hehe
This game has super appealing pixel art but some of the effects seem like too much, they distracted me a bit. I felt like there was some hesitation when I would decide to attack and it would be unclear what I was doing. The atmosphere of the game is my favorite part, I love how the environment and characters make me feel.
Interesting game! Very cute. The little revving up noise was bothering me after hearing it so much. My favorite thing about this game is definitely the graphiccs ( :
Love this so much! There was such a nice ramp in difficulty I couldn't help but want to play over and over to get better. The art style is so nice and effective for this, and the animations make every move feel satisfying. Scoping the vertical surfaces felt particularly fun. Amazing!
Innovative combination of mechanics, I really got into the flow of the game after a bit but I was never really sure why I would lose. Blue and Yellow only was my strategy.
So great! Missing things could get frustrating at times because the walking was slow, but all of the puzzles that were implemented were fun and interesting to solve. Plus the graphics and audio are just so well done and thought out.
This is nice and controls well enough! Did have trouble with the block retrieval at times. It seemed like I would run into things when I was pretty far away from them, causing the block to disappear. Pretty cool though! Definitely tried topping my score haha.
Simple to play yet challenging, nice job.
I liked the feel of this game! Attacking was very satisfying and the audio felt like a good match for this game. The main character and enemies are all super cool looking and I was enjoying demolishing them. Walking around was the trickiest part, but once I got used to that it was fine.
after getting used to the controls this was a blast! Was very disturbed by the music for sure haha, definitely felt very uncomfortable while listening to it. The art is so lovable and contrasts with the bleakness of the situation in a very interesting way. So cool!
So impressed that you finished this so fast, and the mechanic is pretty fun to boot.
I love this so much! I love the feeling of checking out each new game, being somewhat aware of what might happen and yet not at all. Loved the consistent style throughout as well.
This is pretty addicting.. keep thinking I just need to try one more time to get that higher score. The art is really nice, and the hat tower is done really well, I like the fact that you put effort into including lots of different hats and palettes, makes it feel fresh. Sometimes I would get disappointed because it seemed that I could never keep my hat tower for very long, but maybe I just need to get better haha.
Graphics are super cool and interesting. I think that once I got a hang of the controls I was having a good time doing all of the jumps and flips.
The mood was perfect in this game. I also loved the little effect of fluffy always being a bit ahead of you, gave me more reason to push forward. Susan was nice (:
Oooh, this is very relaxing. Would be fun to have a neverending zen mode. Just chill out and make cool trees for a while. Really nice job on the ink style, and the little blossoms at the end are the cherry on the top ( :
haha wow, didn't know what I was getting myself into. Found myself sort of zoning into it, felt very fun to play and all of the feedback was satisfying. The graphics are just so cool as well, great job!
woah, this game is so good! really love the unique concept. When you're at the end and the momentum is pulling you every which way I can tell that the theme has been nailed. The art made me super happy and so did the sound, so solid, great job!
Super cool game, difficult but I found myself trying over and over to complete the levels. Great job!
Cool game! The shooting felt nice and rewarding, though you did have to click a lot. The music was really cool, set the mood nicely. I'm always a fan of a good sci fi western theme.
just wanted to thank everyone for all of your feedback!! Very helpful to hear ( : Going to be trying to review all of your games soon as well.
Those pesky babbos. This art style is to die for! literally, those babies seemed to really love trouble. I don't know where all these babies come from, I don't want to know. Was a really funny game, great work!
This game is pretty amazing, hard to think of anything bad about it at all. I loved the phone calls, played a few times just so I could hear more of those haha. I fell for the bagel donut thing and I don't know how to feel about that. Great job!
Nice mood in your game, felt very spooky. I also really liked the look of the 2D art and drawings of the guy you have, those are super cool. Had some issues with controls, getting around took some getting used to. I liked the scene at the end that showed you which ghosts you had missed and gotten.
Artwork was super cool! Made the mood super cool, sort of Tim Burtonish. Had a good time listening to the tunes and stomping/picking up spidey dudes.
Hehe, I love how this game turned out. I kept playing just to see how full I could get the room. suggestions: if there were little patterns/rhythms to when you had to strum the guitar/click the key that would make this more engaging for me ( :
this game looks super good! There's so much polish in the visuals and I love it. The visual effect of the thirst is super cool and so subtle, I like how it takes me a second to realize what is happening. As for suggestions I think that maybe you should make it obvious if you have already drunk an enemy's blood. Maybe get rid of the green blood whenever you're done drinking.
wow, this is cool! I really loved the physics of the ground, was very fun to bounce against it over and over. One thought about the controls- For some reason when I'm in the air I expect the left and right arrows to take me left and right so that I can slam into the ground wherever I want. Fun game, great job!
The art of the game looks very nice and polished. The character is super nice ( : suggestion: I thought the jump felt a bit too floaty and odd to control.
Had lots of fun playing this game, everything just seems so well thought out, I especially liked the graphics. It was very satisfying to kill enemies, the feedback on that kinda stuff was awesome.
love love love the graphics, I just love the simplicity and clean look of it, feels very polished. One suggestion is that I have a hard time avoiding obstacles even with the up button, they just come too fast for my reaction time. You could maybe zoom out a little so that you can see what is ahead of you a bit more.
the art is so nice in this game it is just a joy to look at! The mechanic is also very interesting and fun, after awhile I got quite used to the controls since the key combo you had to press never changed, would be interesting to play with that! For feedback I feel that the word bubbles that were popping up were a little bit distracting since I was pretty focused on the gameplay, minor things though, great job!!
Couldn't wait to play this game it just looks so good! It also plays just as well as it looks, you managed to get so much juice into this game, every little action feels so good to do! Some better way to restrict unwanted sacrifices would be interesting to see, just throwing them away from the pit got a little hard to handle at some points Truly an amazing job, great game ( :
That music was amazing, kept wanting to play just to hear that tune haha. The mechanics were fun, the combat felt nice, it was a very clean game ( : the art is really fun to look at as well. A little bit of bugginess but not too much, great job!
ahh, what a wonderful game this is! It's so charming and the world is so fun to be in. Lot's of little details that make this game so fun to experience over and over.
Hehe, great concept. The art was so nice and this game looked and felt really polished the whole time I played it! ( :
@local-minimum hey, thanks so much for letting me know! I was having trouble during submission hour getting my game page to update so I just fixed it ( :
and that's a really nice idea for the bed, we actually planned for going to bed to end the game but it could be nicer to let players stick around afterward.
Thanks so much for playing! We didn't "finish" as much as we'd hoped but thought it was a fun little town to vespa around in anyhow ~
This was so wonderful, I really loved experiencing these little memories. The voice acting was great, the art style was beautiful, and the whole thing flowed so nicely. I only got a little confused on which direction to go a couple times, but on the whole I knew exactly where to go from some of the camera and dialogue cues, so smart! Thank you for the game ( :
This was exactly what I was hoping for when I saw it, and more! Everything was so satisfying to do, from digging to being eaten alive. The UI and controls were super slick and easy to use and I always knew what to do next. Audio also fit perfectly, all I want is more of this! (':
Art is incredible, love the style so much. It was an interesting challenge to try to get the correct items, I had definitely overestimated my memory skills haha.
Wow! I really love the attention to detail you have put into this game. The feedback on every feature is super good, I love the bit of recoil with your shots, the bits of screen shake, the sound effects. Everything that you've done really make this game feel grounded and fun to play!
This is one of my favorite games I have played, it is so fun! I kept trying to think of the best possible fishing mash up game and I think you have found it.. the gameplay got a little repetitive but I found myself just needing to try oooone more time. One other piece of feedback is it seemed like I fished up the ballman about 5 times in a row or something haha, maybe it could be less likely to get the same fish if you have already caught it? Fantastic job!
that was a super fun game! found myself getting distracted with trying to progress in the game, though I will say my finger is a bit tired after all that clicking haha
@Dj-Depressive Oh, I definitely need to tell you we were a team of two! @niclupfer does the code all while I do the art so it's not as crazy as it seems! haha, I wish I could have done it all on my own. I am just extremely flattered by what you've said, you are too kind! We've done quite a few jams now so we are getting quicker at it haha.
I am super excited to play your game, from what I have seen there are some really interesting differences that I am excited to discover! Thanks for being so so nice :')
@Chikoness thanks for all of the feedback and kind words! : D I see what you're talking about with the camera. Could I actually ask if you were using webgl or the windows build? I think that the webgl build has some issues with the camera facing you are talking about, I will look into it.
And also about the randomized cooking technique, originally we were going to make sense of it but it was so funny that we just left it in. Love getting whisked nuts and a scoop of egg :' )
@Fran-Segura yeah, that's a good point! we talked a bit about having it to where maybe if an enemy bumped into you you lose some of the ingredients you have collected. I believe we decided to go with no effect because we wanted the focus to be on scared veggies that don't really have any power over you, and also for the fun of the chase without interruption. Thanks for the feedback! ( :
@Carvster Yeah, I could definitely see some improvements being made on the instructions. I thought we could have a little note on your recipe that tells you to return to the counter when a recipe is done, that would be quite helpful. I think it's a lot to learn at once, especially at the beginning at the moment, thanks for your thoughts ( :
@infinitycore yeah, we got some feedback on it also being too easy so it's going to be interesting to find that balance. It could be that some of the ingredients are harder to hit since they are so small, so maybe we need to up the time for the harder ingredients. Thanks for the feedback!
@Hisfantor yeah unfortunately we haven't fixed the sensitivity issue in the web build, but it's way less sensitive in the windows download! sorry about that ):
The concept is super clever! Was super neat to try to plan out my strategies ahead of time. Eventually though there were too many enemies to think about so I just powered through to the end.
Difficult to get the hang of at first but after a while I was just having fun trying to brute force it haha. It works super well and you have polished it up really nicely! I'm impressed with how fun and silly it is, great job! ( :
This game was really fun! I think it's my favorite tower defense style game that I have played as of yet. Chilling out and fishing while a hoard is coming at you is great fun. I also like the mix of trying to focus on fishing and keeping an eye on the zombies. (also I love how long the clam noise goes on haha) it came out great!
Hey Brandon! I really love what you did with the concept haha, I wasn't quite sure what you were going to do after our meetup but it came out fun! Something to be improved on is how the enemies attack, I get a little frustrated when they can hit me from four sides but I can only attack left and right. Makes positioning pretty difficult. Awesome work!
Hey, I get to see my twin game! haha, actually exciting to check out where our games were similar and different. Both had utility backpacks made out of cookware, that cracked me up. Kudos to whoever designed that avocado frog, that is a genius enemy design. Overall I had fun exploring the different things I could do, checking out all of the different enemies was my favorite. As for feedback I think it's already been said that there is a scope problem, I always have an issue with that as well. Maybe you could have thought "What is the core of this game" and then structured your other elements to support that rather than spreading yourselves so thin ( : That's something I usually keep in mind, for a first jam as a bigger team you should be proud of what you got done! Sometimes it's harder to coordinate with a bunch of people in the chaos of a jam. Great job!
I always enjoy these types of games because they make me want to play over and over to get as far as I can. The first time I played the game I had a hard time locating the bars that you are supposed to press the keys on. I think a brighter color would have helped those to stand out more. Surprisingly fun little game, good job!
Hello there, what a game! haha, really love the concept, anything to do with chickens and I'm sold. And today I learned that eggs come from the butt, sweet. I liked the two genres you combined together, it made for some interesting moments but in the end the controls made it a bit tricky to perform well. Great job!
Wow! This game was so lovely. My favorite thing is how you chose to do the perspective and water, it was so clever and pleasant to look at and something I haven't really seen. For feedback I think that I'd say the controls were a little tricky to get to do what I wanted some times but it wasn't so bad, thanks for this game ( :
