Very cool vibes over here, my dear PICO-8 enthusiast friend! I might look into the cartridge and check out your music, it's soo chill! Great game indeed, hats off!
Crazy that you made this for this jam, very well done! There was only one thing which bothered me, the placement of the P button is pretty far on the keyboard, it was a bit frustrating for me, but it didn't take away the value of the game! :) Happy to tried it, thanks! Oh and the animation on the plants were so coool
Hey, fellow PICO-8 enthusiast! I played waaaay too much with this game, very nice work! My only concern was that once you get the feel of it, the difficulty curve is a bit too slow maybe. It would take time to die, that's for sure.:) Very well done, congrats ont his entry
Very cool game, with obvious theme interpretation! I personally lova Dune, so couldn't skip this one. Nice work guys! :)
Hell yeah, it's so cool to see another PICO-8 entry! Very well polished, hats off! Definitely will look into the cartridge and see how you did that, crazy!
I like the aesthetics and the atmoshere! It was a bit confusing for me, maybe if you die in a cave you should respawn there and not in the home (?) It would be nice to see it polished to a final game!:) Thanks for the game
Awesome mood, great atmosphere with the music and all! I died kind of early, with 52 points. :( Nice work overall, congrats!
Wow man, awesome game! Snappy interactions, cool sound FX, overall great game with a nice idea. Perfect for a gamejam, but it would be cool to see it grow to a final, polished game! Nice work, hats off
Visually pleasing, but it was a bit confusing for me, maybe you could make a tutorial phase, if you want to continue this project (which you really should, it has a great vibe!) I know if I read the instructions it is understandable, but it would have been good to learn while playing. Overall great game, that's my only comment really <3
I became a very sad potato after talking with the horse. Thanks for the game, awesome vibes and atmosphere, great entry for this jam, congrats!
As some of the other have mentioned, I had a bit of a problem with the hitboxes, but overall it didn't take away from the value of the game, thank you for it!:) Great atmosphere!
Very chaotic game, loved it! My only major problem was that I forgot with pieces are mine and which are the opponent's. Pretty advanced mechanics, would be cool to see it as a polished game! Cheers
OK idiot, heres the situation: Your game is actually very fun to play. It has great aesthetics and athmosphere as well as great game design. Awesome submission, hats off! Thanks for the game, enjoyed it very much! :)
At least the 2nd best game of the infamous Gerappa Games! Love you all guys!
Very cool to see another PICO-8 entry! Especially one that uses mouse controls! Nice work, I will look into the cartridge files! Congrats
This game got the best rating from me so far, it is just so perfect! It fits the theme nicely, it is fun, everything matches. Good to see a game with two player mode as well. Amazing music in the intro. All in all: Just hats of man, great entry
Fun game indeed! The music was pleasant, the art was consistent, nice work overall! If I want to replay it, it's capped after 8.13 sec.:) Thanks for the game, enjoyed it!
Cool game design especially for 72 hours! Maybe the shotgun could do a bit more damage, I was surprised that one headshot was not enough.:D Would be cool to be able to change mouse sensitivity as well! Overall very nice work, congrats!:)
Oh my, oh my it's hard to find words. I played with your last Ludum Dare game as well and as a fellow pico entry creator I feel defeated! :D I'm surprised that only a few of the comments pointed out the quality of the level design and the overall logic behind the game. Maybe metroidvania means this as well, but yeah, the progress system was on spot, great new mechanics came in with the perfect pace. I can't imagine how many coffees did you take in the last two days, but it was well worth it! The athmosphere of the game is amazing. The art and the music as well, it puts together the perfect vibe. I will be surprised if I find a better entry for this jam. Hats off!
Very well polished game, although not sure how closely it connects to the theme "delivery". The graphics are nice, the puzzles are great! Nice entry!
As mentioned above by @antti-haavikko, the design idea is great, as well as the 3D effects on Pico 8. I liked how ou were able to keep a reasonable scope especially for pico. Also agree with Antti on the music / audio and the punish side of skipping planets. All in all great entry in my opinion, glad to have played it! :)
I'm checking every pico game entry for this jam and so far this is by far my fav, although there are plenty others which are great. I genuenly had fun! I understood the mechanics for the second run and from there it was pure profitmaking from those little kids, muhahaha! Ah and the particle effects are on spot!
Beautiful game, with a great athmosphere. Unfortunately the web version lags pretty hard for me, and this makes the music laggy which is a shame as it sounds awesome! So congrats on the visuals and the audio especially! :) good entry
Hey, great pico entry overall, I enjoyed it, but I was thinking is I missed something as I was collecting sheeps pretty slow. Maybe what @chum-chum mentioned above that you have to skip ship with the "wrong" numbers? And a minor issue: The numbers of the sheep in the top lane are a bit hard to read sometime, maybe try and put them one pixel lower? Anyways, great job, congrats! :)
It's always cool to see fellow pico entries. Glad that you made and finished it. The controls are (obviously) pretty hard but it is consistent. The mood is great, the humor as well, and I have to say that the description in the Ludum page is good. It is part of the entry in my opinion and it was good.:) Great job, great entry! Oh and I couldn't go near you 5:31. :D
Yes, it was a bit confusiong and hard to get the grasp of the game, maybe if there would be a tutorial phase? I know it is a gamejam, don't get me wrong!:) Nice art, good vibes also. It would be nice if you would keep working on this in the future!
Pretty challenging for me at least, it took a bit of time to get the grasp, but it was worth it. The hitboxes (pun intended) are a bit punishing, but this is what makes is fun as well. Maybe you could work on the camera, but thats a minor issue for sure. The fact that zombies don't come until you pick up the first crate is cool, because the player can read the tutorial. Maybe if you place the text a bit closer, the player can read it more easily as it is off screen now. Anyways, great game, congrats! :)
Very interesting concept, I love it! It's nice to see a somehow RPG-ish game at this jam and you nailed it! Minor issue: If played on full screen, the text is a bit small, but this is really not much of a problem.:) Well done!
Crazy audio 5/5 for sure! Nice job overall, weird to say, but I had fun. We were thinking about kind of the same concept, but let it go in the glad. Glad that someone made it!
Very good entry, gave me APE OUT vibes for sure! Suprisingly polished, especially the camera handling, nice job! The visual style is well choosen, fits for the game. My only problem was the difficulty curva. The tutorial phase is perfect in my opinion but after that there is a level with 8-10 enemy running towards you and it was a bit hard suddenly. Anyways, this is a very minor issue, all in all amazing game, hats off!
The controls are a bit punishing, but the idea is great! It's cool that you made a 3D game playable in browser, the performance was smooth. I had fun playing it, but again it was a bit frustrating to fly. Otherwise awesome game! :)
Ha ha maybe I'm too tired, but this game literally made me laugh. Amazing idea, well executed. I liked the crowds reaction the most. (Seriosly?!) Thanks for making this weird game, had fun! See you next time hopefully
It's always great to see other PICO-8 entries! For the last ludum dare we tried to make a somewhat similar, linear story-based pico game, and there is surely a lot, we can take from you here, thanks! A few ideas that came up during playing: I know, how hard it is to make something visible in pico, but the progress bar (healt and energy and stuff) at the bottom now does not really let the player know about its state, as it is not really visible. The screen shake is cool, I loved it! Overall it is a very good job, congrats! Oh and I liked the ocean pert, where I was trying to find bugs by walking off the screen, but it turned out it was a feature! Hats off! <3
The football field looked awesome, and it was a cute idea to get into the heart as well.
Wow @catbutt how did you manage to collect 1100? Well done, I was only able to get 794$ Thanks for the feedback, we are aware of the hitbox issue! :)
Hey, fellow Pico-8 enthusiast! Great entry! I love how you were able to stay with a reasonable scope and that you were able to finish the project as well as polish it! Yes, the controls are pretty punishing, but that's the fun of pico in my opinion! I'm glad that I played with your game, nice solutions with pico! Cheers
Overall great game, I'm glad I've found it. My only problem was that the hitboxes are a bit weird, and for this, the punishing when falling down is a bit too harsh in my opinion. The conrols are smooth otherwise, and it's a nice touch to make the sound of the characters like in Celeste. Great entry, nicely done
This game is very cute! I like to see these type of games on gamejams as its grabs the core purpose of jamming. Little scope, but polished feel. Nice audio as well! :) Good job
This game is exactly what I'm looking for in a gamejam entry. Perfect scope, nice athmosphere, just some good vibes. Congrats, nice job
Wait... Is this game inspired by some real world events?... Well for the first 4 playthrough, I was not able to collect a single dollar.:D But after that, I got the feel of it. Good scope, quite polished game for a gamejam! Maybe turn down the hawk-sound effect just a bit! Also the texts are funny, not only in the game, but on the Ludum page as well. All in all, nice job! :)
