Fun game! Was a real pleasure playing it. Love all the pop culture references.

This project has game-playfulness dissonance, the first I can recall. It also could be an issue with French culture, I tried so hard to understand it but looks like it is just not my cup of croissant

Loved the meme-ness and absurdist humour! I could see the main ideas being extended into a fast paced WarioWare kind of game.

I always admire your sense of humor! The Game Over screen made me laugh out loud. I'm so impressed that all these games were made in one week; yours is no exception. Great job. And an extra thanks to your translator!

Thank you very much, you're the first to tell me about the Game Over screen, although I'm sure many have seen it :p I'm glad you enjoyed the game, there's a lot of humor in the jam's games, especially in the names and texts :) .

Wow, bizarre, random and creative.
It reminds me of Incredible Crisis!
Games like this are great to play, among so many long ones, something short and with a good theme, it's worth checking out.

Indeed. I really liked the gliding physics. It felt very appropriate that the character does not just stop moving horizontally once you stop pressing a directional button 👍

This game was bizarre and hilarious. I felt like the wario ware games. Sweet message at the end. Nicely done!

People often find my games weird, and I often find it hard to categorize them :D . The main thing is that you found it hilarious, that you had a good time, and I take the comparison with Wario Ware as a very nice compliment :)

All you have to do is steal all the friendship in the world, and maybe you'll be invited to the Tuesday night poker party :D

Really enjoyed it, made me chuckles all the way through. It was cool to invite the crane driver to the poker game as well. Loved that every level had its own mechanic.

En plus d'avoir la sélection des langues, bravo, ça évoque vraiment les jeux PAL de l'époque haha. Du coup je devais vraiment tester la version française. Saloperie d'accents qui refusent de s'aligner avec le reste des lettres ! x)

Tu es français ? Ou du moins francophone ? Merci d'avoir vu que le grutier était convié à la partie de poker de l'épilogue haha :D

Yup, Normand. C'est pour ça que ça m'a fait rire de voir que le français était une option :)

Funny! 
This game has fun, mini games, parodies, humor, life risk missions :D, gameboy adds, a deep plot, and very original music :D....
It's wonderfully made to have a good time. And I really enjoyed it, no doubt.
Also I appreciate the time you took to explain your process on the game's page.
Congratulations for the hard work and for making us laugh!

Is it funny ? But this game is based on a Shakespearean drama!!!
Thank you so much for the comment, that's exactly what I tried to convey as emotion, through the game and the music :D

Johndo21Developer353 days ago(+1)

There are two solutions, either a copy and paste of the scenes, or with variables :)

Reply
El_Papu1111Submitted353 days ago(+1)

ay, I knew it could be done with variables, thanks I just finished copying one by one the scenarios, when the jam is finished I will update my game to be in my native spanish.

Reply
Johndo21Developer353 days ago(+1)

Ah but with the mention of Brazilian pastry in your game, I thought you were Brazilian and spoke Portuguese :) . Where are you from ? I preferred to put French because we are really bad in language here, so many people would miss the story which is a pity...

Reply
El_Papu1111Submitted352 days ago(+1)

i'm from mexico, i don't really know english so everything i write i'm getting from a translator LMAO

Reply
El_Papu1111Submitted352 days ago(+1)

and another question, how did you make it possible to select options in a menu system? i see that many people from the jam made them. i'm trying to follow tutorials but it's too complicated for me. if you could show me how to do it in a picture or 2 it would be perfect. (O_o))

Reply
Johndo21Developer352 days ago(+1)

That is to say for the selection of the language, or rather when I propose to accept the mission or not?

Reply
El_Papu1111Submitted351 days ago(+1)

for language selection

Johndo21Developer351 days ago(+1)

I wanted to make you a screenshot, but my .gbsproj file disappeared from my folder, so I can't reopen the game ... If it already happened to someone ? I wanted to make some changes after the Jam, but now I'm stuck ...

EDIT: Sorry I couldn't type much yesterday in here! I enjoyed the easy approach to taking things on (like clear objectives) and the sprite work, and you did a great job making those pop songs 8-bit. I liked it!
