@danman9914 Maybe you are not activating the "running mode" by pressing an arrow twice. The ingame tutorial is a mandatory improve! And yo can reset by pressing Return or R! Thanks for playing!

Wow. It is a surprise to see so many problems with the controls. It is true that the game is not as polish as we would like but the main problem seems to be about start running when a danger appears by pressing twice an arrow. We choose this mechanic from old school beat-em-up, since we thought that it was a common way to do it, with the exception of only using it when you are being chased (gazelles only run when they have to!). Unless the lions comes from a bush, where you have very low reaction time... but pay attention! if you are careful, you will see it before the lions start chasing you.
Using the rhythm to run faster is more complicated and it is a tricky challenge that we wanted to include into the game.
We will have all your comments in mind for the next ludum... or for the final version of Savannah!!! Thank you very much for playing it!!!
Good idea. It is very relaxing. I would be awesome to see more fishing mechanics or something like that. Well done.
I love one thing that we never reach: Everything works like they should! It's easy to play but Grall Axy requieres some concentration beacause in one momento you can forget the commands a lose some seconds. Nice entry.
As everybody is saying.. I liked the final words. You also put a effort doing it even if it is not literally a videogame. Nice job!
Lovely. The concept is great, the music fits perfectly and the gameplay is fun. Maybe a bit slow but fun. With more additions, like small ecosystems when you mix tiles in a specific way and things like that, the game can grow a lot and be very very fun.
Good work!
Good game. The random generated world is a nice feature. Would love to see more events.
Awesome game. The graphics are great, (I love how the rest of the planets go to the sun), the control is easy, the physics are very natural. I really like the possibility of changing the options (reload time, physics.. the random feature is great). I enjoyed a lot and it is the kind of game that you can play with a friend for hours. Very good work.
I only miss a "vs npc" game mode.
Mechanics are simple but the game is fun. You have to be aware of all the guests and be fast moving them. Nice job.
Yeah! Great job! I felt like playing Broken Age. I like so much that everything fits and you play like you always do. Cool, cool, cool.
Fun and as gamesplushames says, the fast-paced style make it very interesting. I felt that you had to be a bit lucky with the powerups (sometimes you destroy a lot without receiving anything) but I enjoyed a lot.
That is an example of an simple game with simple graphics that you can enjoy a lot. I really like it. My record was 1710. Great work.
Very fun. It is easy to play, You level up your skills so you have the sensation of progression, the graphics are more than enough. Very good work. Congrats.
Very well done. Easy to understand but the puzzle is great and the levels are very well designed. Great job.
Good game! The color mechanic is great. I really enjoyed. At the beginning I didn't get why the houses where pushing without touching but when I saw the different colors, I realized that the don't need to be in contact. Nice job!!!
Great card game. The gameplay is not explained but it is very easy to understand. I miss a button to deselect the cards in the card selection/setup screen. I enjoyed it. Nice job
Great game. The game looks like a finished game. Everything is smooth, the idea is great. I share the opinion of all the others. Congrats! Completely amazing
Nice game. As you said in the comments, that type of tutorial/tips would help but with the limited time, it is complicated to add everything. The smoke when you put the magnifier helps you to get there and use the magnifier not like an object but like a tool for you. I think that the first level is great to show how the mechanics work. Overall is a good game.
Link down? I doesn't work for me :(
Great game! Fun, nice idea, nice gameplay, nice music. Very well done.
Crazy idea... What do you think about something similar to "crypt of the necrodancer"? Maybe with a point system, extra points if you move with the music or something like that.
Good job!!!
Simple and clever. I forget the rest of the world while i was trying it. Plim plom plom plom plim. Really like it.
Great game. The graphics are cute and very well done. I loved the transitions between worlds, there is a sensation of improvement and progression, it is very easy to play. Congrats!
Great Idea. The game is simple but very very fun. Great concept!!! Well done :)
The implementation is great. Nice graphics and idea. The sensitivity is a bit high as mindtricks says and I figured out the color combination but I don't if it was luck or I missed a hint.
Nice job!
Nice job. It is simple but fun. I like how the world is destroyed with the meteorites. Good job.
I appreciate the twist in the theme, and I really love the voices. Our game is storytelling type, you should try it.
I have some issues before i understand the mechanic. I wish it was everything faster. I think in the main characters as a retired Zangief with a lot of free time xD
It's pretty demanding. Picking fuel is at the same time the way to survive and the way to put your ship in danger. I think that it could help if you can refill with another item the energy reserves. And my personal record is 377 km left!
I can imagin myself playing it in a Gameboy Advance (a advance wars spin off?) I like the recharge mechanic and the details like the speed down when you are shoothing. Easy to play and fun. I only wish the spaceship have more animation.
Thanks for the feedback!!
@KabalaTrance We tested a lot that mechanic and that was what worked best. It has to be a challenge and in this way we penalize more the number of balls. Because you know, the more balls you have...
@CremaGames thanks! We enjoy it a lot thinking about the concept
Gracias y buena suerte! Conociendo Mobsferatu, tenemos muchas ganas de probar vuestro juego :D
@elitegoliath Hey. Thanks for comment! Maybe we can help you to see the theme. Our idea was to work the theme from the mechanic and the concept.
Mechanic: To pick the money you have to shoot balls. More balls means more money from the machines, but at the same time, more balls means more chances to be stunned, lost time and the multiplier so... The more you have, more difficult it is. But it totally depends on you :)
Concept: The second way we try to touch the theme was with the plot hehehe. More loot you have, worse is the jail they send you, so it's harder to score.
@6smith You make us sweat! Captura.png We really love you enjoy the game!
@ryusui the amount is random based on percentages, yes. Maybe you are throwing few balls... or too many! If you try to pick up the money without being stunned and you will get more money!
Thanks for all the feedback!
@reizoukin Yeah. All that you say sounds so good. A multiplayer mode would be hilarious!
The gameplay is great. The concept is really fun. The theme is included... Very well done. I love the "catch" mechanic and the most important thing. Very fun to play.
Great work!
The game is very coherent: visuals, mood and graphics. And the music is great. We always love to find games that work so well this category.
SOME IDEAS: The main character is too "static". I see a knight with a cape, so I would like to see some animation when he walks. We know that one weekend is not enough for all these details but i'm thinking that the hero could be a statue or a stone-made hero (a golem?) so you don't have to worry about that.
Good job, guys!
Nice entry! I was a bit confused with the mamazon (loved the sound hahaha) "requirement" as other people is saying but I realized that I was getting boxes with each rabbit. I guess that the 5 is the max number in each mamazon ship.
The only thing is... I was burning the rabbits but not fast enough. I was losing power and I don't know how can I be faster.
Great game!
Lovely. I love dead cells and I was expecting something great as usual.
And yeah, It was more than great. Great Job.
Lovely. Very cute.
And the most important. Very fun.
The only thing I can say about the game is that sometimes I had minor problems attacking with the sword.. But that is all. I loved all the rest. I enjoyed a lot increasing my money thanks to those greedy thieves hahaha
Great game! The style and mood is great, but the most important thing. It is very enjoyable. The controls are a bit difficult to dominate but I think that is an addition so you have to improve and you get more points every time you play. Lovely entry :D
I didn't realize I was bigger until I start to roll hahaha. Fun game.
Maybe some arrows before the rocks appear would help. Sometimes you don't step the bouncing floor until you see the rock because you know that it is coming but since you don't know from where, maybe you don't have time to avoid it.
Nice idea!
Lovely!!! The dungeon generator is also great. I enjoyed a lot! Nice work.
Great game! I have lost against the final boss :(
Easy to play and easy to have fun. Good job!
I enjoyed a lot this game.
The attack mechanic is great. It is worth to try hit the green part. Nice job
I love the idea and the animation when the enemies breaks is great. Very enjoyable.
The only thing "to improve" that I can suggest (you tested and played it more times) is the movement. Maybe an asdw movement + hitting with the mouse would be easier to control, but I saw it as a challenge and I really like it.
Great work
It looks easy... And at the end I was running and very into the game. When you make feel like that, it means that the game is working. Nice game!
I has some problems taking the objects I don't know why.
Well done
Fun! Nice entry!! It was difficult to see when the people was looking at me with so many.. but, that's the point isn't it? It is difficult to steal.
I loved the hand effect and the hand in the main menu hahaha
There is one thing a I really like it. This kind of games usually uses lines and you switch from one line to another one with just oone tap. This is not the case and I enjoyed a lot more than those kind of games.
Good job!
I enjoyed a lot the game. Easy to play and have fun. The enemies were fantastic.
I think that my UI crashed (the bars were not moving)
Great game!
Great game! At the beginning was easy but after a while so many balls started to drop! Very fun!
The art is lovely. The mechanics are great. Wonderful job!!!!
I love those control mechanics where playing becomes a challenge!!
