Safe to say I'd make a terrible teacher XD
Really polished gameplay, whacking a student feels really satisfying! Audio is nice, and the game fits the theme really well I'd say! All the animations are really nicely done, and really silly! Very much enjoyed playing this one! Keep it up :D
also caught this one staring at the wall lol
Yeah, they aren't the best cheaters either... :)
Very funny premise! I also really like the presentation the animations are really well done. using the ruler feels so satisfying lol, I definitely whacked some students just for fun.
The gameplay loop is addictive i played quite a few rounds to see if I could catch every single cheating attempt. some of them can be really difficult like the phone or the seat switching but that's what makes it fun
Glad you liked my animations! It's definitely where I struggle the most in Blender. But I guess I'm learning bit by bit :)
Excellent entry, really liked smacking the s*** out of my students
Liked: I love the concept and simple design of the game. You pick up quickly what you have to do. The voice acting is goofy and entertaining to listen to.
Could Improve: Buffer time for catching cheaters. It takes a bit of time to find a cheater and then them just finish cheating. But it's supposed to be challenging so I like it either way. Sometimes the whacks don't register.
Additional Comments: It is so fun just to go around and whack the students even if they are not cheating XD. I loved the design choice to talk to the principle just so you have an excuse to look at the student sheet. Overall I can easily picture expending on this with the students getting more and more difficult to catch after each success. Amazing work
Thanks for the feedback! We didn't play test the game with other people, so the difficulty might need some tweaking, yes... Though, I'm glad you still had fun :))
I loved ittt!! it was super fun<3
Banger game. Loved smacking the students. Audio pretty nice as well.
Great game! I got fired tho :(. I would like you to give the teacher a firearm instead of a ruler as that would likely make them behave better. just a thought. Well done on the game!
Ngl I second this. Sometimes i saw someone cheating but couldn't get to them in time to whack.
Cool game
Awesome lil game very fun! One of my favorites of the jam so far. The little rayman looking guys are great.
Feel free to check out our game too: ;)
This is by far my fav game I've played so far! Funny and original!
I think you would enjoy our game about little creatures who make funny noises!
Really fun!! You did a great job with the animation and sounds, and the menu and game page are so charming too! I think it'd be great if the time count was part of the hud
This game is pretty epic. The main thing I adore is the mechanic of switching seats. It gives you something to do while looking at the principal. I would've thought about making it an option whether the locations are randomised or not. I understand that for players like you guys, who have played it a lot, the mechanic is more fun if it is always randomised, but for new players it feels a bit meaningless relearning the roster each round when there are already so many other things to keep in mind. I feel like for beginners it could be a very simple permanent growth element. Defo make it an option though, don't force it. Defo.
Thanks for the feedback! I struggled a lot with the switching seats thing as well, that is why this cheating has more time to catch than other cheats, but I can understand the problem.
I'll check in with the team and ask their opinion about this, and later, depending on their thoughts, we'll put in the option to make it more easy!
This is game is so goofy I love it. Great use of the theme, impressive!
This was extremely fun and unique! But I ought to expel all these lousy, cheating students! The voice acting was also really funny and charming as well. My only complaint is that the running feels a bit slippery, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Amazing game!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback and I do agree that it is a little slippery for my taste as well
I'll tweak this later on!
That was a fun time ahah. I laughed out loud when seeing one of the student play the animation to cheat on the other student behind him but he was at the alst row and just looked at the wall. Great work!
HAHAH
i just keep hiting everyone
Fun game
This was so fun! The animation and noise whenever I would whack a student was satisfying :DD Would have loved seeing a timer and more clarity if we whacked cheaters or just poor "honest" students ^^
Thank you for playing! When you whack a student, it emits red stars. When you hit a cheater it emits green stars. But yes, in hindsight, it might not be that intuitive... Maybe different Sounds, like a buzzer or a "ding" would help!
Really fun and extremely silly! Def a good gameplay loop too!
THIS GAME IS SO FUN! Its so satisfying to whack students!
This is a really interesting game. I really like the art style it has very funny looking characters in a good way. The feel for the game is really nice. Well done!
