Very fun game! Well implemented mechanics, and you made good uses of the soundtrack!

Very fun game! Well implemented mechanics, and you made good uses of the soundtrack!
Good ideas, it still lacks a bit of polish and tutorials but it has a lot of potential!
The game has a very strong art style and is very moody, I liked it a lot!
@huntrox Thanks for the feedback! The final boss is quite... experimental I would say. We didn't have time to properly implement it haha
Amazing game! Responsive gameplay, great items (except that fairy :p ), and beautiful art! Congrats!
The game got the basics right, the shooting and moving mechanics are nicely done! The music is pretty good too! Overall, it lacks a clear goal and depth, but it is promising!
Really cool game! Cool gameplay ideas and music :D
The game looks very good, and while there are issues with balancing, it shows potential! It could use a bit more depth too with more possibilities at the beginning. But the AI character is pretty cool and shows a simple but adequate AI. Lots of potential overall ;)
Beautiful game! I had some issues with the camera, but the art and overall feel of the game is top notch!
The main character is cute, and the gameplay mechanics are intuitive! It lacks some music and a dash mechanic could be useful, but otherwise a really good finished game :)
Great tribute to Keith. The base version would need a tutorial but I can see it was fixed in the update. Overall, damn fine graphics and music
Good game! The art is great and the gameplay loop is good! It's a shame that there is no music, since the graphics are really top notch
The concept works pretty well. The main issue I see in this game is the companion's behavior, which is either too predictable(thus too easy to manipulate) or too random (sometimes it spawns at the middle of the level?). But the enemy designs are really good! Keep up the work! :)
Good game, the atmosphere is really unique! Eventhough there are some difficulty issues, good job on producing a high number of assets in a very short time! :)
The idea is good and well executed. The graphics may be a tad too simplistic but the particle effects are great! Overall, good and addictive game
The concept is good but the execution is flawed (the physics engine of the game is pretty buggy), but there is a potential there! Congrats, you guys can make really good games with animations and polish on your games :D
Very cute game with a really good execution! Congrats :)
The game looks awesome, and I liked the beat mechanic. The ost was pretty good eventhough it could use more variety during long runs. The kamikaze drones were a bit frustrating nevertheless
Good concept, good game! :smile: The graphics are pretty sharp and there are some really funny animations! The potatoes' trajectories would deserve some tweaks in order to make the game even more fun, but congrats overall!
Really great game, great mood, an overall top notch production, I'll gladly play it from time to time. Can the fishes die if we do not feed them enough?
What a game. The game over screen absolutely destroyed me.
Really good game! The art is really super, super cool. Bonbon looks awesome :) The digging mechanic is simple but really efficient. I just had some issues where the character would not dig in the right direction, but nothing serious. Overall, a really good submission! I hope you'll make other games ! :D
Salut salut! Bon boulot les gars. J'ai discuté en privé avec @wakobu , mais je vous donne mon avis sur le jeu ;) : - Le côté artistique défonce, super boulot là-dessus. Les musiques et les graphismes sont tops! - Le concept est vraiment bien, le choix "rester au même étage" ou "descendre" est vraiment bon, ça rajoute de la tension. - Après, j'ai quelques réserves sur l'implémentation du combat, je trouve que ça manque d'équilibrage, mais bon c'est un jeu de jam ça peut pas être parfait dessus. - Pour l'instant, les pièges et les tours sont pas super utiles sur les derniers niveaux, et le soul blast reste l'outil principal pour progresser.
Globalement ce qui manque au jeu c'est de l'équilibrage et un peu de peps sur les combats. Mais sinon, c'est super ambitieux et ça c'est cool. Félicitations! ;)
The graphics and the sound design are really good; but as other people said, it still needs a bit of polish: the wormholes should be a little tougher to get to, and controls feel a bit floaty from time to time. But other than that, it's a good entry! Congrats!
@LukeTobin Thank you!
Having the right amount of characteristics is hard to reach: When you have to judge very fast (at the later levels) you have to recognize them in a very short time, so having repetitive ones helped us balancing this point. But I have to agree that having some more options! ;)
Thanks everybody for your feedback! :D @carko That's right, we wanted to test the quickness of our players haha. @chewiecb I totally understand. Basically, these actions cancel themselves, so you have to guess according to the remaining characteristics ;)
@duplicatedframe Crap, we forgot to deactivate the button. It is just hidden.
@tiago-cruz Thank you! Your game rocks btw ;)
Damn, I spent a lot of time on the game. The art is top-notch, the gameplay is really addictive! Great job! That bunny is so cute.
Pretty fun game! The main character is really cool, the ragdoll simulation makes it really fun to watch. The hazards were a little confusing at first but I eventually figured it out!
Great game! Some performance issues, but a lot of fun!
Great job!
A really great looking game, with a really good, soothing soundtrack. The gameplay is pretty simple but the experience is really polished: no bug, no frustrating situation. Congrats!
Excellent taf les gens! Les énigmes étaient nickel niveau difficulté, et le concept des différentes époques est top! Les graphismes sont super cleans aussi, franchement bravo.
Félicitations les gars, je peux pas noter mais taf super solide, bravo! Trop cool le taf sur les vagues et le gameplay est vraiment sympa ;)
Really fun concept, and really nice graphics. The UI is top notch, but for the user experience one thing would be greate: only show the current part of the truck we are using (front, middle or back). Currently, it might be a bit messy haha
Overall, a really great entry! Congrats
I issou'd a lot playing the game
The game is pretty addictive!
The music sounds nice and fits the overall vibe of the game. The character designs are really charming. In order to improve the look of the game, you should have the same scale (1pixel = 1cm for example) for every pixel on screen. Everything would be more cohesive that way and hightlight your animations, which work really well.
This one is a really good entry!
Nice music and art! However the gameplay deserved a bit more explanation: I did not understand how I am supposed to take damage. The butcher was dope tho
Nice entry! the gameplay felt really good, the sprite work is simple but really efficient! Nice work on the map. The music is a bop
The 2D assets are pretty amazing! I loved the animations on the top left corner of the screen. Controlling the truck is pretty fun once you get the hang of it. The concept and execution are ambitious but you managed to make the full game in 3 days, with a cool cutscene and a complete tutorial! Great work :thumbsup:
Great entry!!
The mood is perfectly set up. The graphics and audio synergize really well in creating a tense atmosphere. Sometimes the enemies are not really "fair" (too fast to be dodged) but it makes the game even scarier. The gun feels impactful, making the game addictive. Congrats!
Bravo pour le taf, l'écriture est top. La musique est bien fichue, et le jeu est très drôle. Très bonne utilisation du thème. Comme d'hab, très couillu comme projet.
Pour le visuel, ça manque de cohérence, et je sais pas encore trop me placer par rapport à l'utilisation de Stable Diffusion. Je suis conscient que c'était une des seules solutions adaptées à votre équipe et au projet, mais il s'en dégage un côté assez artificiel, chaque personnage est généré dans un style différent, c'est trop dommage car y a tellement de cœur dans tout le reste du projet!
Mais félicitations en tous cas, je me suis bien marré en lisant les textes
Thanks everyone for the kind and constructive feedback, it is really appreciated!
@smiley405 there's a webGL build on this page! you can play it on linux on your browser
@diego-teran and @emilyy We did not state it enough (it's on our part) but the thunder storm makes the compass totally glitchy, that's probablyu why you had this issue! :)
Great concept with a nice game feel! The game is pretty well balanced, I like dit! :)
Nice game!
I only played against the CPU and it was already pretty fun! Multiplayer must be hilarious!
Great great graphics. The AI could have used some more loving but hey, it's a jam game, it cannot be perfect
Congrats for making a great game
What a fun idea!
Great use of the theme. Using the music to indicate the payer getting closer is a really nice touch!
There are some nice gameplay ideas, for example the level where you have to rush before the wall of death happens is cool!
I would say that your graphical assets lack cohesiveness: the scale of the pixels for your characters is not the same as the one for your barriers. Otherwise, nice use of lights! :)
Bravo l'équipe, le concept est super!
l'algo de détection de forme mériterait un peu de tweaking, ça mène à des erreurs de détection et c'est dommage. Mais bravo sur l'idée et l'exécution
Eventhough there are a few collision bugs, I had a lot of fun playing the game! Congrats for the smooth animations and the audio :)
I liked it very much, the idea has a lot of potential! The judgement screen has a great composition.
Very smart use of a limited number of assets.
The idea could be extended further, with more interactivity, but overall, good submission! Congrats!
Congratulations! Great game design and polish.
I really had fun with the game!
The UI, graphics all have a great polish to them. The only complaint I have is that the tutorial is quite heavy at the beginning. It could have been great to show the different gameplay mechanics step by step. But for a jam entry, amazing work! Congrats!
Impressive result! The mood is really unsettling, the gameplay mechanic is smart and you had the right length for a jam experience. Congrats!!!
Great visuals, very stylish! Really fun writing, I appreciated the hideo kojima reference haha
@lllarso my bad for the burning platform, I screamed at the top of my lungs in the mic in order to create this soothing sound
Congrats on the balancing and the gameplay mechanics which were fun. The graphics lookes great too! Sometimes the action area of a unit would not update properly tho, but that's nitpicking! Great entry!
That's such a shame that the artowrk would not load correctly! From the screenshots, the visuals looke lovely. The music does a nice job. Since the speech bubbles are not linked to characters, it becomes hard to follow. Lots of potential, congrats for at least shipping a game ! :)
Nice entry!
The game could use some clarity. I had trouble understanding the main gameplay mechanics. But it shows potential! Congrats!
bravo :clap: comme d'hab, beau travail niveau techno, et bravo pour les assets 2d qui sont top!
