So fcking weird, well done! Really got the whole vibe set in stone in every aspect. It also looks so good!
Very good dress up game. It took me a few times to complete the game. And I really like how you start with the clothing that goes in the middle.
Some random thoughts:
I think it would be better to just be thrown back into retrying rather than having to drag the mouse all the way over and click new spin each time.
Maybe the leaver could have been pulled by clicking anywhere. (basically streamlining players getting back into the game)
Also that I only got one chance at new spin plus! After failing it was back to new spin… that felt quite unfair.
But all in all very solid seriously spinning game.
I love this idea with the clothes. I went with the throwing knives but confetti instead of blood. The visuals and music are excellent. The hit boxes are a bit tough, I made it to the top hat. Music reminds me a bit of broken social scene for some reason.
I hadn't thought about this video in years, but the Daniels (Everything Everywhere All at Once) did a music video where hunters shot clothes onto nudists. If you haven't seen it look on their Vimeo page for JoyWave - Tongues ft. KOPPS. It's a bit NSFW so I won't post the link.
Anyway, fantastic submission!
This game kinda hypnotized me. My only suggestion is to have a key that immediately restarts the goblin spinning after you lose, because having to press a key and then click to start again gets a little tiring after a while. Otherwise, it was a truly surreal experience. It made me feel many feelings, but I'm pretty sure I liked it!
Very impressing visuals! I know you already received this feedback but having some room for one or two mistakes would be nice.
A very simple and weird experience in the best ways possible. The design for the goblins is grotesque in such a way where I can't stop chuckling about how stupid they look and the sound effects they make (namely their strange grunts and howls) add to this feeling greatly. If I had one thing this game could have done better it would be to add more gameplay, as I got really invested in this silly little project and wished there was more to offer after the first dress up! Spectacular stuff :D
this felt very fun and surreal, but i think you should make it so you have an abillity to miss 2-3 shots, because now the game is very ahrd
Oh my. Well I'm glad the game is more wholesome that it initially appears from the exterior! Clap Clap to Miss Albert for suggesting dress up.
It goes almost without saying that the visuals are excellent. I played on web and Firefox had an aneurysm trying to load the game, however everything worked flawlessly on Chrome. I really appreciate that you've made everything yourself and all aside from the goblin during the jam itself. The whole vibe, clothing and jingle stitch together nicely and keep it light hearted.
I couldn't quite workout if I missed anything and I needed to complete extra spins to see more? But I think I saw everything. My only critique is that I would want more! It is a simple and short game, of which I appreciate, because overly long jam games are often long for the sake of it. I do feel unfair in asking for more content for a jam of such a limited time, but I did want more :D.
Overall; it's a delightfully weird experience, that's probably one of the more unique takes on the them. Thanks!
Thank you so very much for your kind words, I think I'll have to make some more content with this as a base whenever I get the time to! No need to feel unfair I only take it as a compliment! I'll make sure to check out your game as well as it seems really interesting, I love theme and tone already but I usually need full concentration for more strategic games which I take it as! Peace
Lmao! This was such a fun experience. A couple things I would've appreciated would've been a crosshair for the aiming and the round automatically restarting instead of going through the main menu again. This was a serious deal though! Great work!
Got him dressed at least once! Goblin model is incredible. Maybe wish there was a way to keep going in a round, even if you miss your shot. Perhaps an accuracy percentage or # of shots used to get him fully dressed as a score to compete against.
Hahah thank you! Yes some more gamification would probably lift the game a lot, for the "score to compete against" I have the NG+ mechanic but I don't know if that's too vague. (It says +1 for each time you make it and it spins faster for each win until you lose and go back to the base level rotation instead)
Haha how did you even think of this! Love the beautiful peaceful music as the goblin is getting tortured lol
Super cool idea with great execution, especially the art and music. It was also pretty fun to play.
I can think of better ways to get dressed - the visuals are fantastic and you've nailed the atmosphere
I always love a good flesh monster.
Also, this goblin man looks very dapper.
