There's so many perfect little details that make this game feel super polished---how the question/options menu is written, the choice of objects in what other objects, the little popcorn sound sliders... all in addition to great gameplay, art, and sound. I especially love the writing design and how it helps create the tone of the game.
After my first round through the objects I still hadn't figured out what the death slider in the upper left was about, so I experimented until I found out you could smother yourself.
Super fun and delightful!
Thank you for playing and sharing this detailed feedback! I’m glad the silly menu writing struck a chord for you haha. The “smothered by popcorn” slider probably doesn’t need to be there - it was part of a different direction I was originally going with this game - but I just thought it felt a bit absurd to leave it in…so I had to :P
Super fun concept... this feels like it's meant to be on mobile. The gameplay loop is tight and satisfying, and the art/sound combo gives it a really polished feel. I think with a few more level variations or evolving challenges (like obstacles or enemy types), it could be seriously addictive. Definitely one of those "just one more try" games. Great job!
...and again the art is lovely ....i'm inspired to make my next game with similar art :)
Awww thank you for sharing your thoughts! I’m definitely going to have to add some more levels and complexity to this one :) Appreciate the art comment - i love a good sketchy style when time is short in a jam. So fast to throw together and somehow it is still a vibe haha. Cheers!
Yoo it was super fun. The art the sounddesign everything. If you would just add some obsticles as we play to make it harder that would make it even better. GJ
Lol, I actually made obstacles as part of my dev time and then ended up leaving them out. So it is interesting to hear this suggestion! Thank you for playing and sharing your thoughts!
Very well executed! Nice art, sounds, cool concept... A little more level variety and this game is 10.10
Thanks for your feedback! I have so many more level ideas, including but not limited to, “make a sandwich.” The world isn’t ready XD
The game is fun, I really like the idea, simple and effective, very good work.
I liked this game a lot! I agree, it would be a lot of fun on a phone
Aw thanks for playing and seconding the phone thing! It currently sort of works on mobile in landscape, but it would be cool to learn how to develop a mobile game properly. :D
A neat game, i like the idea, with more level variety that's a game I would love to play on my phone.
It was really fun!
This is great encouragement to spend more time developing this one, thanks! It does *sort of* work on mobile currently if you turn to landscape, at least on my iPhone. Might be time to add mobile developer to my stack of hats, though... :)
Thanks for playing!
