Nice visual and the dragging torch to take photo at certain angle mechanism is decent, I guess, even though I don't know what exact angle am I dragging at, nice work!

Thank you for your comment:) I’m glad that you enjoyed the game:)

Well, what can I say... "cute"

Such a cute idea! Cavemen wanting the perfect selfie, lit by the torch, is a brilliant take on the theme, I loved it. Great to play another OXTAR DEV game!

Such a fun premise! The request cards are really clear — Granny Granite, "Aim RIGHT," and the orange target on the angle bar told me exactly what to do. And even my failed shots looked adorable in the stone frame with the tiara, sparkles and wall torch. One note: on my setup the angle kept staying at 0°, and I couldn't tell how far I'd dragged — showing the current angle live while dragging would help a lot. If you have a minute, I'd love your thoughts on any of my entries: Torch Duck Parade (lead a growing line of ducklings), Torch Topple (knock blocks out of a torch-lit tower) or Pop Chain (one tap to set off a chain of sparks)!

Thank you for your feedback:) I didn’t even noticed that it’s not showing the angle:/ I’ll work on that:) I’ll check your games too:) I have more games here as well - if you would be able to check them out:)

I've genuinely never played anything like this, haha. The sound and the art are excellent — I'd love to know how you got assets of this quality, honestly.

One small personal note: the character reuse. I know reusing is a normal part of getting a game done, but the designs are so good that seeing the same ones come back stood out more than it would in a lesser-looking game. Said with respect, this is a great entry.

DeveloperSubmitted

Thank you for your feedback:) I used chat gpt to make them:) and I agree - there’s not enough of the characters - but I was planing to do couple games anyway, so I was afraid that I will run out of tokens before finishing the games, that’s why you have only 4 characters:) but I will make it bigger:) I’m glad that you enjoyed it:)

I disliked this game initially.  I kept at it, figured it out, and instantly appreciated what you were going for with the design.  I worry others may hit the back button on their browser before pushing past those first 20 playable seconds.  I think you have something clever and fun, it may just need to better explain to the user what is happening from the start.  Good luck and thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your feedback:) I agree - I should put “how to play” page to make sure that the rules, how to play and the goal are clear - I will work on that:) Thank you:)

The game plays feels very hands off.

Ok... I played the game but... I did not get the goal. What do I need to achieve?

The graphics are really nice and I liked the style of the chars <3

I would be happy if you could play and rate my game too :)

DeveloperSubmitted

Thank you for your feedback:) The goal in the game is to set up the torch in a correct place, as accurate as you can, which will give you the most amount of points:) After couple round you see how many points you collected and “what is your title” in a cave man times:) game is simple, hasn’t got any complicated goal:) I’m glad that you like the graphics:)

The topic is open, but the game is very simple

Really fun game! Just played it in the browser and left you a 5-star rating ⭐.

If you have a spare minute to try my cheeky pipe-puzzle game (Poop Sponge) and leave a quick rating, I'd really appreciate it!

Love the art and the torch-drag idea. One blocker in Challenge mode though: I can't get any points.


I played it in Chrome on desktop, 7 shots over 4 runs. Every shot came back "WRONG FILTER!" with +0 pts, even when I hit the target:

- Cave Gangsta, -50° to -26°: I hit -33° and -38° and got Cave Gangsta both times. "WRONG FILTER!", +0.

- Stone Age Swag, 25° to 49°: I hit 36° and got Stone Age Swag. "WRONG FILTER!", +0.

- Off-target shots (-52°, -14°) also gave +0, so it isn't flipped either. Nothing scores at all.


The HUD stays at Score: 0 / Streak: 0 into round 4, and there were 0 console errors. So the angle picks the right photo, but the check that decides "correct" never passes. My guess is the photo's style and the requested style are compared in two different forms (an id vs a name, say). Printing both values on release should show it.
