How does your game represent "Slick"?
You have to be very slick to get into the party, and be very slick to eat all the people at the party without the other guests noticing.

I like that the game feels like an experimental project from the PS2 era. I mean that in a good way, that it feels creatively nostalgic in modern times. Something about the aesthetics and the way the camera feels reminded me of those days, but the fixed camera did fight against my mouse as well. So it was tough to navigate and also figure out exactly what to do. I found the mask, got put in jail, but I thought that was the goal?
The goal is to get into the party. Do you know why you went to jail?
Fixed camera angles were super cool! Flushing the toilet was very slick. The double jump mechanic was real fun too. Nice job!
You didn’t get into the party, did you?
The premise is intriguing and it's pretty cool to be a talking bear. The fixed camera angles are a nice touch and make sense with the retro 3D look. However, the the angles themselves can be quite inconsistent. The camera would also swap between the fixed angles and an extremely sensitive player-controlled camera quite often, which was a bit jarring. I also had some trouble figuring out what to do, but I may have just missed something. I definitely see potential with this concept!
Try exploring the area. Do a sweep. Good luck!
Like the aesthetic of 3D polygone, make me think about " Tales from the peak " vibe in a way. I wish i could have dig more but I got stuck couple of time by the first " secret door " in the leaving room. It would not completely open and I would get stuck.
Excellent! Yes, the door can be reset if you press E to interact with it. (or the gamepad equivalent of interact)
I like the bear animations and the fixed camera angles in the courtyard! It took me a little bit to figure out you could double jump, platforming as a large bear is a fun idea.
Thank you for playing! I am glad you discovered the mechanics naturally!
I should mention that in the instructions as it may not come to mind for all players.
Couldn't make it inside :( the mask up above would not respawn after I got the "jail" ending for searching the dumpster. I even tried restarting my browser and the mask still won't respawn.
Overall, very cool idea! I liked the direction it was going. I didn't love being punished with a game-breaking bug for exploring/interacting with the world, but overall I would try again if the bug was fixed!
Thank you for making this and submitting it! If I'm able to get inside, I'd love to leave a more helpful review!
Interesting. if you refresh the page or quit the application and relaunch it should respawn. Let me know if you are able to make it in.
Good luck and have fun!
Love how the bear is rigged and animated like a humanoid! It made me chuckle. The first game in the jam that I've seen with fixed camera angles in 3D space. Made it feel unique
Thank you! I appreciate that.
I just wish I had thought of that sooner, so I could place the cameras and trigger areas in better places.
I was sent to jail and when i reset the game to try again the mask didn’t spawn so i got softlocked in the starting area. Still the concept itself was very intriguing!
Aah! Good find!
Will have to test that out when it unlocks. Did you refresh the page or quit/restart the game?
That should set everything back to a clean state.
yeah when it happened, i just closed and restarted the exe and everything was back to normal!
I think this game is a lot of fun. Thank you for helping me achieve my dream of frontflipping all over the place as a bear.
Did you spawn back inside the party? :D
I loved peeing as a bear but going to jail was sad
Yeah, I should have put a toilet in the jail. Then I wouldn’t have to make the janitor work so hard at the jail. 🤔
Very funny game, just needs some polishing!
I made sure those toilets were squeaky clean! But I gotta go to the store to buy some more glass cleaner for the windows.
like many said the camera is not very nice to me, but the models were good looking and the party was fun, I left before I got to eat anybody but i decided I'd roleplay as a vegan bear
Don’t feel bad. I also leave parties before eating people.
I was so worried I wouldn't be able to flush the toilet BUT I DID. 5/5
Worried you wouldn’t be able to flush? What did you drop in there?
The bear character looked cool and was fun to play as but the starting area was a little rough. I got jailed so I didn't get to see the party... Funny game
Yes, it was a mistake to change the camera system in the last hour of the jam. CURSES!
I was really confused the whole time and didn't seem to find the mask, but that's a skill issue I think :D
A bear doing a frontflip? That's in my mind the most important feature.
Great concept, even though I had some problems with the camera at first :)
Thanks for giving it a good go!
You might want to use the toilet, sometimes things float UP. You never know!
This is a hilarious concept for a game, I love it! The visual style is really cool and the models looked great.
I felt like I was fighting the camera a lot, and it took some time to figure out what I was supposed to be doing at the beginning. Other than that great job!
Thanks for playing!
I threw in some fixed cameras at the end, and I realize, I needed more time for testing those out better.
There was originally only a 3rd person, but it would go through the walls at times.
Really enjoyed the vibe of the game and laughed when I got thrown in jail. Had some challenges with the camera, I assume you had it in fixed positions to start due to the fact that it would have otherwise been blocked by the walls? That's always a challenging problem with this type of 3rd person perspective, potentially instead you could make objects that are between the camera and player transparent and use the 3rd person follow camera in all situations? Thanks for making this, and great submission!
Thanks for playing!
Yes, I had originally had a 3rd person camera, but then like you said, the camera would go outside of the walls etc., and I wanted it to be more “cinematic” so I threw in some fixed cameras here and there in the end.
Managed to get inside the party but couldn’t find a swimsuit. Seems like they’re having a good time though!
You should talk to the swimmer. He knows about swimsuits. :)
Cool party. Took some time to get in , but when I did, the music was popping. Really liked the visual style and concept was clever. Well done!
Thanks for playing! You might even say, you have to be pretty slick to get into the party.
