The game is fun to play. I liked dropping the water balloons and aiming at those walking by. I dropped it on the wheelchair person twice, just because, and noticed "oh shoot, don't do that, that is bad". Then I got the gameplay flow. After a bit I wanted to see what happened when I lost, and loved the police car rolling in. I wanted to drop the water balloon on the car to do even more chaos. Perhaps you could implement a system based on being chaotic;

Otherwise the game is nice, the artwork is simple but nice, the animations flow well too. maybe a bit of cleanup is necessary to refine them

Hell yes guys, this is sick! I fuck w the characters design, and when they run off it looks really silly. The only complaint I really have with the game is that it never seems to get harder. Like if the people sped up, or if more grandma's were spawned, or something like that, I think the game loop will feel a lot more engaging. But other then that this is still a fire, silly little game

I like this game quite a bit. It has a very easy to understand game loop and the art is really cute. I really enjoyed the animation and the feeback for when the balloon landed on the people. I think maybe in general the UI needs to be more visible and maybe adding an addional person that gives extra points or some kind of other feedback would make it a lot less repetitive.

Also I am really unsure if you actually "cast water balloons" - I feel that you could have gone way more interesting with the chosen theme!

Great job tho, it's really clear to play!

Thank you! I get what you are saying. The initial idea was to make sprites that look drenched as well, but we settled for a particle effect instead which ruined the theme lol..

The good

  • I like the overall design choices you guys made, I think that the charachter looming above all smiley was super funny
  • I like the charachters movement and how they run off when they're hit 
  • I also enjoy that the charchters

The Bad

  • I think with only a few hittable NPC's you spend a bit of downtime watching the old person and waiting for the lady. that downtime really takes you out of it.
  • maybe i'm impatient but I played for a couple of minutes and no mess ups and I still didn't win. Is there a win condition?

Thank you! And I agree, there should be more NPCs to keep the player engaged. And no, there is no win condition. Your score increases as you hit the walking NPCs, but hitting the wheelchair lady lights up a beacon, and three beacons spawn a police car and restarts the game.
