Pretty fun. The mini-games were programed well and were responsive once I got them working. The art style is nice too. My only problem is that it's sometimes hard to figure out what the controls are, even when the instructions work (EX "Turn the crank" doesn't tell you how to turn it), leading to unsatisfying losses. This could have probably been solved if more people on the team play tested.
It would also be cool if the mini-game order was randomized.
I'm not really sure how this follows the theme of the game jam, though.
Thanks for the feedback :D
Firstly, my team thought it would be more intuitive to turn the crank the way it is in the game (clicking on it and turning) instead of it automatically turning because there was already an arm that moved with the mouse. I'm making a new build for when the voting period ends, and I'm trying to incorporate all the feedback I received.
Most of these bugs are due to the fact that I played very long sessions with few breaks to rest, so I couldn't think properly about solutions to the problems that occurred.
Oh, and about the theme? It's included from the beginning when you click play... Like, every time you finish a mini-game, their brains grow and evolve as a species, going from the Homo Sapien era to the modern era (having to pay bills).
QUANTOS MINIGAMES. Levando em conta o tempo da jam, o jogo ficou com muita coisa, e foi uma idéia bem fora da caixinha pro tema. TIveram umas partes bem engraçadas e em si é um jogo muito divertido (também é muito legal ver outros br’s na jam). Na inha primeira run, devido ao fato de ser na build web, algumas coisas acabaram atraplahando minha gameplay e não conseguir ser um macaco tão esperto, mas no fim consegui virar um homem sabichão.
Uma dica, o nome do minigame e os controles aparecem atrás da cabeça do macaco, exceto no primeiro minigame, mas da pra jogar tranquilamente mesmo assim vendo os controles na pagina do jogo ( English: One tip: the minigame name and controls apper behind the monkey's head, except for the first minigame, but you can still play without any problems by seeing the controls on the game page)
Obrigado pelo feedback, é um bug da versão web, se você tentar a versão de Windows baixada não ocorrerá este problema :/
I love the art here. The WarioWare style mini games are always fun, and the music plus the art definitely makes this whole experience a fun one. Nice work!
this is really charming and funny, clearly a lot of heart went into it, love the art
had fun playing it, good job and good luck !
really liked the art and gameplay, reminds me of mindwave! but like others said before, that text bug made it a lot harder. overall though, this game is really good! good job!
Yeah, apparently this bug is only in the web version... Whenever I make a web version of my games, I have a problem like this, which is really annoying, but that's life. I added the names and instructions for the Mini-Games to the description; if you want to take a closer look at the game, it would probably be more fun than without it, lol.
Oh, and thanks for the feedback, it's good to know you liked the art. We literally had to send it with 30 minutes to spare because the animations were TIME-CONSUMING haha, so thank you!
(ps: I couldn't remember the name of the game, so I had to use what I remembered off the top of my head from MindWare, which made it a bit more original lol)
Nice mini game variety and also nice art. I was confused with a lot of the minigame's controls, especially the unclog one and the keep it up one. Unclog used A and D, but keep it up use the arrow keys so it just fell flat immediately while I was spamming A and D. I also felt like the game could have used a little countdown before each mini game because sometimes the minigames would end in less than a second because I can't react in time. But the game was still pretty fun and I enjoyed it anyway. Good job!
Oh no, I forgot to put A and D in the Balance, sorry about that, I guess... And the mini-game ended in a few seconds? The "INDUSTRIALIZE!! (Turn the Crank!)"? I really don't know how that happens, because most of the time I play it doesn't happen, maybe I should review the code when the voting time is over... Sorry about this bug :/
Anyway, thanks for the feedback, I'll probably pay more attention next time :)
i assume the text with instructions being behind the monkeys head was unintentional as it made the game probably harder then intended since you don't know the controls, but i really like the art style and the minigames were fun and imaginative definitely could see the Dumb ways to die influence. i was unsure as to how much the Theme of Growth came into it other than Big Brain, but overall a very solid game good work.
P.S if you wish to enable the Full screen Toggle button on Itch its under Embedded options - Frame options - Fullscreen Button
You guessed right... For some unknown reason, when exporting the project to HTML, Game Maker strangely messed up the depth layers and the instructions ended up behind the Gorilla, which wasn't the case moments before I compiled it on my Mac...
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to pay more attention to that next time I try to export to HTML, lol.
LOL we definitely didn't steal the idea from Wario Ware and Dumb Ways to Die, we would never do that, hehe, thanks a lot!
