I'm a thnake!
Made me smile :-) Great fight sequence!
Thank you, I'm always happy to make someone smile!!
Legit made me laugh. Fantastic use of knife rat. Loved everything about the fight scene. 10/10
Thanks so much!! I love the knife rat so much, I had to use them. Always happy to make someone laugh!
KNIFE-RAT!
I am the richest T-Rex ever.
Hooray for money!!!
I should also mention: I really like the way the rat and snake are both super chill and friendly with each other, right before fighting to the death. Great comedic effect.
Thank you!! What's friendship about a good ol' fight to the death every now and then, right?
That fight sequence is fantastic! I can't decide which is my favorite thing about this game, the rat pulling a knife on the snake, the endings or the "we'll wait a minute" bit.
Thanks so much!! So glad you liked my little bits throughout!
This is fantastic! My favourite detail is “Okay, we’ll wait a minute” followed by precisely one minute of waiting - though I’m not sure it makes sense to circle back to before you’re asked what kind of animal you are rather than just a “It’s been a minute. How about now?” line. The fight sequence is amazing and I love that both possible endings actually make solid sense in the context of this bizarre setup. It’s very polished for something this crayon- and kazoo-y!
Thanks for your kind words!! I'm surprised it came off relatively polished honestly with how fast I did this, so it's very nice to hear that! I'm also glad you enjoyed the fight scene, waiting for an exact minute, and also the endings!!
As for the waiting, you're 100% right, that doesn't make sense because that's a good ol' bug. It's supposed to be skipping straight to the fight sequence, like clicking Yes does. I'll get that fixed up!
oh so I laughed outloud when the fighting started soooo that's a success. Fun little experience and I replayed it again just because I enjoyed what you wrote!
Thank you for your kind words!! I love getting to make people laugh, it's my favorite thing ever. I'm so so glad you enjoyed it!!
Definitely the most upbeat (and lucrative) fight to the death I've ever experienced!!
- The species input and how it was used was a fun surprise!
- The assets seemed perfectly chosen for a smaller game scope—I thought the wall & floor background, the textboxes, and the close-up focus on the two animals all came together really well (along with the off-screen audience and other SFX!)
- I love how you used some of Adversus's great edits (the rat's sprite change gave me a good laugh!)
- The Yosemite Convention(!!)
- I enjoyed getting to pick "No" repeatedly (I would have loved to see more different responses to it, but it was already fun as-is!)
- An interesting little twist, too!
Well done putting it all together in a super short time!
Thanks for the kind words, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! I'm glad someone enjoyed the Yosemite Convention and species input jokes, I was super proud of myself for those ones when I wrote this in the middle of my nonfiction class lol. And I'm glad you thought the asset choices were great!! Adversus's signs really do pair amazingly with text to the point I could use it for all of the buttons and the textbox, and I got the whole idea of this game once I saw the knife rat on the expansion pack thread and went "omg wait I could cook with this and the snake"!
I'm also glad you enjoyed picking No! Yeah, a stretch goal of mine if I had the time was adding more dialogue for that where the poor Rat and Snake would get progressively madder each time you clicked on it, but alas, I didn't get the chance to expand that joke.
