How does your game fit the theme?
The concept of the game is that you only have 20 seconds to hide before being found, therefore there is a 20 second count down every level.

I really like the general concept and direction of the gam. I think that if it was a party game it would be very fun to play with some friends. The only thing is that sometimes it’s really difficult to move the objects how you want but when you achieve to move them how you want and pass the level is very satisfying :)

Developer

Thank you, someone else said this game would work well as a party game which I had never considered... Maybe it's time to finally learn how to make multiplayer (or maybe not πŸ˜…)

Also yeah the object movement might be one of the jankiest scripts to ever grace the Godot engine, so I think I better rewrite that too lol

Fun little game! Controlling objects was tricky but that just made it more rewarding when you got things perfectly lined up.  Interesting concept!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

i love it it was so fun , but the object grabbing was really hard (and a bit glitched sometimes)

Developer

Yeah this is the most common complaint πŸ˜…

Not heard anyone call it glitched though, however a few issues I've found do come to mind...

Either way I'm really glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted(+1)

when i release the mouse click sometimes it keeps following the mouse.. also id like it the grab was stronger since dragging the heavy objects was slow

Submitted

It was fun. I stuch on the 3rd level. IMHO colliders are not fuctioning fine.  Sometimes when I push object at it's corner it works, sometimes not. Even in the same conditions! Maybe you should reconsider collision system to more simple?

Developer(+1)

Yeah pushing object with player doesn't really work, you can only really move them by clicking and dragging... This is a limitation with Godot's physics as it doesn't really handle moving colliders very well, but I'm sure it is fixable on my end. Another thing to consider when I inevitably make version two next week πŸ˜‚

Nice game had fun playing it. Good job

Thank you :)

Pretty fun premise! The character art is very amusing and the controls felt pretty intuitive. Good job :D

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my game :)

Submitted(+1)

GREAT ONE! I really enjoyed the object movemet! I think a lot of the fun came from not being able to control teh objects precisely so you end up panicking and just throwing stuff at the wall to try and get something to work. Great and silly!!!! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the game :D

Submitted(+1)

Very great gam. Not the same at everyone, the object control is kinda controlable for me, just move the camera and you’ll able the control the object easier. Great job, and the test lv is too easy need to be harder XD

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, shockingly the test level wasn't really balanced... at all πŸ˜…

like everyone else, i think the idea was good but the main issue is the physics/movement of objects. the art and audio are good and the story is decent but its very hard to control the objects and move them where you want, because of multiple things:

  1. there are no shadows or way to determine if your object is in the correct location when mid-air
  2. its very slow to move objects and they all have the same weight. make most objects lighter but things like beds and closets stay the same since those can be heavier.
  3. its hard to rotate objects easily. you could try adding a way to rotate objects like scroll wheel while holding an object to rotate it in the direction that you hold from.
  4. the camera can't go very far down. it's my biggest complaint about the game since it has multiple downsides. it's very hard to look at your hiding spot/setup from other angles so it's hard to tell if it'll suffice and win you the game. it also makes it harder to move objects in most directions and prevent them from going super high up.

overall most things about the game are pretty good like audio and visuals but the execution for moving objects wasn't the best and needs some work.

Developer(+1)

1 - I never considered this, so I'll definitely implement some kind of "shadow", whether that be literal or not

2 - The speed of the objects was made slow to mask even more jankiness with how its programmed lmao, it would appear I'm destined to make a version two of this anyway so hopefully that jankiness wont be present, fingers crossed.

3 - this was something I considered adding but wasnt sure how to implement it within the time I had, but yeah definitely something to add

4 - this was honestly a huge oversite that I didnt really pick up on myself during playtesting, but is actually a really good point (that isnt very hard to fix loll)

But yeah I think I've got a shopping list of things to add for a second version after the jam. Thank you for playing my game :D

Funny idea, it is a bit difficult to control the objects, but a good start! I enjoyed it :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you

Fun idea, I struggled with the physics a bit, and at times I thought I was hidden enough so was surprised I got caught, but still a good take on the theme.

Developer

Yeah I think a better indicator of what counts as hidden would be a good QOL improvement... I've definitely got enough ideas to possibly make a version two of some kind

Submitted(+1)

The game is really fun. I like it .And yes, the physics is unpleasant.

Developer

Oh well πŸ˜…

Submitted(+1)

I certainly humbled myself here… But the concept is silly enough that I’d play something like this co-op with friends. I’d just need time to practice! Love the mashup of hide and seek with tax fraud. πŸ˜‚

Developer(+1)

thanks a lot, I didn't even consider the possibility of multiplayer but that would be really fun... maybe I'll figure that out eventually πŸ˜…

Submitted

Spent more time with this than I thought I would given I was frustrated with the physics, but it ended up being fun. Maybe someway of controlling them a bit more depending on your camera angle. Great job regardless.

Developer

Yeah at the moment moving objects works based on the direction the camera is facing so to move them horizontally the camera must face straight down... Probably not the best way to do it πŸ˜…

Submitted(+1)

I bit tricky to get the objects to move as you wish. The idea is great :)

Developer

Yeah πŸ˜… It works based off of the cameras plane but I realise that probably isnt the best solution... Tempted to make second version after the jam using a different method

Submitted(+1)

That sounds nice, I'll keep an eye out for that new version :)

super clever interpretation of the theme! also fun to see another game with physics :D

Developer

thank you :) I'll give your game a go now!

Submitted

please make the game playable

Submitted(+1)

I like the gameplay and idea, but the physics are kinda goofy. I wasn't able to beat the office level, it was too hard πŸ˜…. Good game good job :D

Developer

Yeah I must admit the physics isn't great, I'm tempted to try and rewrite that mechanic after the jam ends to see if I can do better with more time πŸ˜…

Submitted(+1)

still fun though, great job :)

Submitted(+1)

Loved the idea!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks 😊

I'll check out your game once the rating period starts, it looks really interesting!
