Thank you! Sorry I made the game so long haha, you were about halfway through

Submitted

Really well made bro! It's just because I was checking a lot of games that I did not play it to the end! It is great though ^^

Developer(+1)

haha no I totally get it. Btw I appreciate the real estate you gave on your video thumbnail

I absolutely loved the battle system and screen transitions, but I’m terrible at precision platforming, so I couldn’t get as far as I wanted. Nintendo should’ve done this with Super Mario RPG. Nice work!

Developer

thank you! I hope to make things a little easier in the future

Submitted

The idea is interesting but the game didnt give me lots of joy, this game is definetely crazy :D

Developer

Well, I'm sorry for your inconvenience. Thanks for playing!

My word! The writing in this is absolutely phenomenal! I love all the little details you threw in for the world building. Right down to the intern working on touch screens for smart blenders xD The guy with his feet in the 17th dimension... the food signs... all of this just comes together so beautifully. The jokes are laugh out loud funny too. Doing a humorous take on an apocalypse is not easy and you pulled it off flawlessly. Hats off to you good sir!

The game has a professional level of polished look to it, right down to the walk cycles and background animations! Just over all really aesthetically pleasing.

The only real note I have is... while I LOVE the idea of the health bar taking one hit after dying at the platforming parts, with platforming levels of this difficulty, having players one shot it is a pretty intense expectation. I feel like it would be nice if there was an HP system within the HP system. Like maybe... Arnold has some kind of "dimensional protection" every time he falls but it has 3 layers, hence 3 hits? That way you don't have to confuse the player with 2 HP bars, but still have the main mechanic.

Also, I feel like it would be nice to have an option to rebind keys. The platforming sections had me constantly reaching for wasd/space, and I'm sure there are many others who prefer those as defaults. That might also make the platforming sections a little more doable!

But those are all drops in the interdimensional bucket compared to the massive amount of good things about this game. I definitely would love to play this more! Can't wait to see what's next for this game's development!

Awesome job!

Thanks so much for the detailed review! I totally agree with your criticisms, and honestly I'd never considered the health system you suggested, which sounds like a great idea. Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

I really like the style of the game and the design of the characters. The music fits the atmosphere of the game really well. I found the platformer levels pretty hard, but overall I was still able to enjoy the game a lot.  

Developer

thanks! I'll definitely try to work on making things a hit easier in the future

Submitted

I like this game very much. I like many of its details. The level of difficulty is much harder than I thought, but I like it! Great job!

Developer

thank you!

Submitted

I really like the premise and it was executed really well! The platforming/controls felt right.

Developer

much appreciated!

Submitted

The idea is very interesting, and the drawing pleases the eye

The characters are well drawn and fully convey their character, I love that!

Submitted

The aesthetics and feel of the game were great, the character sprites and animations were really charming and full of personality like the victory screen or the little purple guys.  The music was pretty catch too.  I was surprised at how good the platforming felt too, Im usually terrible at it but the speed and level of control seemed just right.  Only thing I'd say is maybe reset the player to the start point when getting hit instead of completely ending the encounter, especially since theres a time limit.  A few encounters I didnt feel like I had enough time to learn them because there was no opportunity to try multiple times.  The writing wasnt bad but not really for me, thats not a knock on the game though.   I did get softlocked and had to close it when trying to activate the portal behind the 2 lords though.  Good job mixing 2 genres unexpectedly well!

Thanks for the feedback! Huh, that's strange I don't think I've ever encountered that bug before. I'll look into i

Submitted

This game was hilarious xD. The artstyle and the way its put together is very silly but in a very good way! Overall I really enjoyed this game. Good work!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Hey! What can I say? The game is just awesome! I really love the silly artstyle (everyone just looks like a loser or nerd) and the fun music. The idea of implementing platforming challenges is really cool! I especially like the screaming when falling into the holes :D 

So now let me finish this comment so I can keep playing this! 

Developer

thanks so much! And I'm glad you liked the screaming, looks like my voice acting lessons paid off lol

Submitted

Thanks for this game! It was weird, but in a good way, haha. I liked and disliked that you only have one shot at most platformer levels. On the one hand it brings tension, on the other hand I just really want to finish that one level :p I did find a bug in one platformer level, the one with a big drop right next to your spawn point. If you hold the walk-left-key while the level is loading, you spawn inside one of the spikes and die immediately...

Thanks for the game! Nicely done :D

Developer

thanks for playing! Ahh, yeah that bug is annoying but easily fixed, thanks foesporring it!

Submitted

I actually played it to the end, which is kinda rare. This game is a real masterpiece, I like it so much! It feels RickAndMortish a lot. Jumping sequences are kinda hard for me though. Good job!

Developer

thanks for playing the whole thing! Yeah the dorriculty of the platforming sections was definitely something I tried to work on

Submitted

great graphics, great sound, great humor! Can't wait for chapter 2!

Developer

Thanks you!
