i haven't played anything as funny this jam. i was laughing during the whole playthrough! absolute cinema!!!
I got stuck for a moment in the journalism wall, the joke was pretty funny, the acapella sounds and the music where funny too, a fun game after all, cool game!
First of all +1 for for the self-made music and sounds, this kind of things always makes me smile.
On the gameplay side, the first big wall almost made me drop the game at first tbf but i refused to be called a video game journalist, so i got good.
It was really charming and funny, but I'm also very curios on how a polished version of the punch to climb idea would look like lol
lol, the punch movements were not even planned tbh, I was just messing around trying to make the combat feel more weighty by adding recoil when you hit an enemy, but then I said fuck it and enabled it on the walls as well
it’s funny how things develop in the heat of the moment XD
thanks for playing!
i liked the fights, there where nice. with own mechanics n stuff :)
Hmm, I am really not sure how should I rate the game on the audio scale, on one hand the self made sound effects are very creative and charming. On the other hand, listening them for a longer period of time ^^'...
Overall it was a fairly interesting game. The combat system is kinda cool, and I do enjoy the boss mechanics, even if I am suffering from serious skill issue. I however absolutely loved being crushed by manga - which then pushed me under the stage, and to my upmost pleasure I found out I can just walk all the way to the end of the game from out of bounds. And even the back ground music seemed to account for that
On a more serious note, it's an interesting game for sure, with a lot of charm. Even if at a certain point I started wondering if maybe too much charm ^^
lol, you’re not supposed to listen to them for long, trust me as I had to listen to it for 2 whole days while making the game, it was maddening XD
I chose to leave floating under the ground bug, I love the feeling when you find a bug that completely un-hinges and breaks a game, and I couldn’t bring myself to remove it, there is even a proper way to do it without glitching though walls, it’s a feature :P
thanks for playing my game!
Loved the selfmade audio & sfx, added a lot of charm.
the juice too. it feels very "gamejam-y", I recorded & played live- here's the vod of me playing & beating the game. Along with much more feedback than I can possibly fit in a quick comment.
hahahaha, thank you so much for playing my game! this is amazing XD
there is a couple of checkpoints, it’s just when you beat the game you reset, but you’re such a gamer you completed the game without needing them anyway
and the .rar was just a mistake when I was zipping up the files, didn’t notice until the submission time was over.
lots of useful feedback, thanks a lot, and thank you again for playing, watching it was very fun!
Happy the feedback & blind play vod is useful :D
Best music/SFX in the jam hands down!!!
boom tish baboom baboom tish!
I found the tone of the game to be really funny, and the music both for the main menu and during gameplay had me smiling. I unfortunately am so comically bad that I was barely able to pass the wall of journalism, so beating Joey was way above my abilities , regardless I found it really enjoyable and would love to see more of it in the future.
don’t worry about it, the joey fight is basically the bulk of the game play, at long as you got to experience it I’m happy <3
thank you so much for playing!
I love the interactions and dialogue between the characters! The fight with Joey was super fun, and I loved his anime-inspired attacks.
I wanted to keep playing even after I reached the end.
Also you had a very creative interpretation of “music” and sound effects. :D
I have never touch a musical instrument, this was the only solution XD
and I loved making the funny dialogues and the little secrets here and there, and I’m so glad people seem to like them so much :)
thank you for playing!
Funny game! Very charming. While there are def ways to improve it, I liked the overall design a lot. Great dialog XD you made me laugh!
Happy you enjoyed it! it was a lot of fun to make
the most funny game in jam
<3
10/10 infinite hole
much hole, such infinite
funny game, fell down during the first stage and got stuck. I like the idea of the overall gameplay
thank you so much for playing! the game is based on janky physics, so that was bound to happen. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
you can restart from a checkpoint if that happens and you shouldn’t loose much progress. (it will save even if you refresh the browser, just incase someone wants to come back and continue 😘 )
Passed the Wall of Journalism after several tries & experienced the best part of the gameplay (the combat). Preferably to add impact sprite/animation once the punch hit the ground to indicate the ground is punched
oh I didn’t think of that, great idea!
Very fun, i liked the combat
this feels like what game jams should be all about: wildest ideas put into a boiling pot and pouring it into a game!! i smiled throughout the whole experience. fighting Joey was my favorite part. oh and one more thing: ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!
I got inspired and had to turn it into reality!
Happy you enjoyed it as much as I did making it :)
Pretty fun game! the art was a bit jarring but the combat was fun!
I tried my best XD, I’m not much of an artist.
Totally understandable! To be fair, im sure the art in my game isnt the easiest on the eyes either lol
Oh man, this game was hilarious XD
Não dá pra jogar no celular
Unfortunately didn’t have enough time to implement the controls on mobile, sorry about that.
