One of my personal favs on this jam. It looks like it was made with picoCAD for PICO-8, I love it!

Developer

Thank you!!

This was such a creative take on the limitation and very well executed, plus the animal crossing style sfx are so cute! Well done!!

Developer

Thank you!

Wow, this is fantastic work! :D

Things I loved:

  • Use of the limitation is soo inspired, such a fun + challenging experience!
  • Aesthetic vibe is 100, super polished execution! You went waaay harder on the graphics than you needed to (its black screen most of the time!!) and it is so appreciated
  • The helpers like bars for facing/angle + the scaling name UIs were a great addition, felt about as close to playing a similar game IRL as you can get I reckon :)

Things I'd love to see:

  • Some guidance on that first round would be good, wasn't sure exactly what to do as I hadn't realised I could move! Just some white text on screen like "use WASD to move around the field and listen closely!" would be grouse
  • As great as the fewer number of audio lines was for distinguishing vocal differences,  it'd be nice to have a few more lines to keep things fresh! 
  • Personally I'd love to be able to skip to the 3rd level, as the first 2 are pretty rote once you've played a couple of rounds and I found myself getting impatient to get back to the "good stuff" :P

Awesome game, i loved the artstyle and charaters you used and the idea of avoiding the person you're not ment to hit by their unique voice was very well thought out

Developer

Really great game, very fun mechanics and really nice art too! (: I got a little confused by the text popping up because it moved around so much, but good to have it for people who aren't able to play with the sound!

so fun and cute! and despite being a single mechanic i love how much you expanded on it and how much polish and charm this game has. it can get quite difficult but the text indicator helps alot. though maybe you can have an option to turn it off  for those who'd like to try playing without? overall so cute and good!!

Developer

thank you for the feedback! I'll add a toggle for the textboxes!
