Had some problems with the hitboxes but the gamefeel is amazing, so satisfying, love the art and the music. NICE END :)
I was having issues with the hitboxes as I waved the bat around the bear but it wouldn't connect for some reason. Playing on a Mac in Safari. But when it did connect, it was satisfying watching the bear lose its parts and collecting the candy :)
Edit: I gave it another try and WOW, I'm so glad I did! Though a simple physics simulator with a simple game loop, this game is quite deep. The music, the crunchy SFX, the well thought out progression, the increasingly chaotic particle effects and grotesque bear's appearance had me hooked. I got to the end (it wasn't that difficult) but the ending actually gave me goosebumps (I won't give it away). This would make a great mobile game. Fantastic experience and I'm glad I did not pass it up!
Hey, I think the hitbox issue is due to the speed threshold. The bat needs to be moving fast to hit. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to make a proper tutorial explaining that
thank you, I gave it another try and updated my rating/commentary :) Well done!
Soooo GOOD! One of my favorites so far
Love the art and how satisfying the piñata smashing and candy collecting felt. No spoilers but the ending was perfect
I like this game too much...am I a bad person? haha
Nice graphics and music. Solid execution.
Nice graphics and music. Solid execution.
I really like the physics and graphics! I just feel that the hitboxes should be a bit more clarified, or that there should be an option to make hitboxes visible.
It's impressive how you managed to make this simple idea satisfying and addictive! The physics, the art and the sounds make it feel really good. Well done!
I would love to face a little bit of challenge but maybe it's not supposed to be that kind of game i guess. Also, I'm not so sure of the theme interpretation.
Overall, really fun game!
I would have loved a pinata party like this when I was a kid!
This was just plain fun - and the art style and overall presentation was just so slick. I was also really impressed with the performance as well, really great job! Also really nice to see the theme used so well, very creative and fantastic scope!
What an absolutely amazing experience! This was a joy to play and extremely well executed. Very nice mix of upgrades, and it felt like the loop was really dialed in. Congratulations!
Super polished, played until the end. Lost sound towards the end as lag incremented; it even added to the experience as an apocalyptic tone, with the bear turning more and more creepy. Well done!
Absolutely amazing, the physics feel perfect! Great variety of artwork, well balanced gameplay, and fitting music. You did a great job of hitting that creepy vibe, it felt reminiscent of Berry Bury Berry. This is my favourite submission so far!!
Pretty good. I like these little incremental games. Lots of juice!
Theres no way this is one of the least rated games today, its so great on every aspect it doesnt even feel like a jam game! From how the piñata came back creepier each time, or the awesome feedback, the sprites, everything was so good! Congratulations on doing such a great, bugless game in only 8 days!
