Awesome gameplay and a very good aesthetic, I'm very impressed with your art design direction.
Congrats!
Thanks for playing and your feedback!
Cool game! Really interesting concept and memorable art style :) There were a few bugs (mostly mentioned in the comments, also couldn't seem to get back from the credits page to the menu page), but overall a really fun experience! Congrats on your submission!!
Thanks for your feedback!
I didn't notice the broken button in credits page before. But I pushed a build right now which fixes the menu button in credits and the bug where keyboard input wouldn't work anymore.
I love the idea of a bug party! I had trouble keeping the ingredients inside the shaker in the cocktail game. The lighting bugs slowed down too much to be playable on my browser :(. The memory game has a nice twist to it, it was my favourite!
Very unique game overall, definitely worth playing! Well done.
Thank you for playing and the feedback. I'm glad you liked it!
Yeah we switched around some ingredients for the cocktailgame in the last few minutes, which made it much harder than anticipated 🙈
Also, I'm looking into why the lightning bug game seems to slow down for some people. Hope I'll find the reason. Thanks for pointing it out.
Really awesome art, but I ran in to some bugs that made it impossible to play. Name entry was broken - I tried the light up game thing a couple of times but the game slowed down and my controls didn’t seem to work, and so I tried the cocktail mixing thing and I got stuck with a drink glass I couldn’t seem to do anything with.
I tried a different browser, and maybe its me not knowing what’s going on, I really wanted to explore the game as the art style alone meant this deserved a play. But alas, the wrong kind of bugs prevented this.
Thanks for your comment!
I'm sorry to hear you encountered these bugs... I tried to investigate your observations and noticed a few things. I wrote a list below with a few things that might help if you're willing to give it another try.
Nevertheless, thank you for leaving a comment and for your kind words about our art :)
Great artstyle! Probably the most unique I have seen so far! The pseudo 3d -ness and the animation is incredible. I also liked the letter cutouts UI! Difficult but fun!
Thank you for the kind words! Nice to hear you liked the style!
Crazy Game! Loved the visual style and concept! the cocktail challenge was well - a challenge but damn I still had fun!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game. I found it kind of difficult though :D
Thank you for playing. Glad you had fun!
The minigames could surely use some balancing 😅
I really like the artstyle :) I guess it is only on browser but I wasn't able to move on the lightning bug game. Cocktailroach was way too hard for me XD. I love that the bugs move on the memory one! Really fun :)
Glad you liked it :)
I think somebody on our team had this issue too once. Which browser did you use?
Thanks for playing and the feedback on the minigames!
google chrome (:
Interesting idea, I really had fun playing it!
Although the menu is a little too hard to use with all the random letters and color, but I guess I can get used to it.
Nice one!
Thank you for playing, glad you had fun :)
True, the menu texts came together in the last few hours and they could really use some more work to make them more readable. Thanks for the feedback.
nice artstyle, fits together really well. Would have liked that the minigames, apart from the memory game, get more difficult over time for example the bugs move faster and lose more energy or in the cocktail game it starts slow and gets more flooded and chaotic with more rushing guests.
Thanks for playing!
That's a good suggestion, this would have definitely made the minigames more engaging!
Definitely very challenging gameplay - I though the artwork and overall direction was great, very unique and stands out. Big fun of the art choics made.
I played both the cocktail game and the sound matching one. For the cocktail game I think making the size of the ingredients smaller as well as the cup, utilizing more of the screen space would help with the controls - I do think that having the bugs on the side asking for their drinks makes for a beautiful visual element but perhaps making them smaller to give users a better experience would improve that bit of gameplay.
I think this overall style and theme interpretation has a lot of potential, and I would love to see what you all can put together with more time and iteration. Great job guys, kudos on all of this work, from the font chosen to the wording of things.
This was a very good stylistic decision, y’all deserve a pat on the back. c:
Thank you so much for playing and the thorough comment (and the compliments)!
Also thanks for the good inputs on the cocktail game. It's alway hard to see issues with the game design when you're playing it all the time while developing, so hearing what people playing it for the first time think about it is tremendously helpful!
Glad you liked the art style. It took a lot of time from having the idea until we got the assets together to test if it would actually work. Nice to hear that it's appreciated :).
Initially I was like "oh, a memory game!" then the bugs started moving and I was like "oh no!" I died shortly after haha, fun!
Yeah, when the bugs begin to move it gets really hard to remember the right sequence.
Glad you had fun!
This is such an innovative theme interpretation! Very creative! I was a crap cocktail maker, but fortunately a better dj
^^ it seems like the cocktailroach is a common difficulty. thanks for playing!
