This is awesome magnifique ! I like the style of the old movies and the whole setting. The use of the faux french is extrêmement brillant!
The unicycle is hard to control, but thats a good thing, because once you get the hang of it, it is very rewarding.
Outstanding entry!
As a french guy, this game made me smile a lot :D
Love the vibe of the game and the story telling (maybe even too much texts?).
My only grief is the WASD support: what about AZERTY keyboards? For a "faux French" game, it's so sad to forget this keyboard-layout :p
But it's still a very good entry, well done :)
Ah thanks for playing! I agree there is maybe slightly too much dialogue (certainly in the intro) I wanted to be able to set the scene properly without rushing, but it does indeed go on a bit.
And AZERTY support is definitely something I overlooked! :( Sorry! Definitely ironic in the circumstances!
Thanks again for playing, glad it made you smile :)
Excellent game with a very unique style and gameplay.
Loved the dialogues and the faux French.
One feedback is that the unicycle is slightly difficult to control.
Otherwise a solid entry made in Unity!
Loved the humeur and faux French, the style feeling like a silentois filmatique, and the unique concept and gameplay. I had trouble with the unicyquelle as well, mostly due to hitting the sides of the busking area and instantly tipping over, but I was enamored enough by the humor that I was determined to get out of debt and practice the mustache-plate-spinning. I still fell a lot, but once you get going with the plates, it's much easier to make money, so I did eventually finisheu the game! I had a real feeling of dread when the final challenge started, but I got there eaventuealleigh.
Unicycle difficulty aside, I liked that being more daring with your balance attracted more spectateureurs! The map seemed larger than was necessary, so wandering back and forth was slightly tedious, but only slightly, although it felt odd on rainy days after I could 100% Bleouf against Philippe — I'd just walk down, enter, leave, and walk back up. (It also just stayed on "Le Bleouf est fini..." after winning. Not sure if that's intentional or if I just missed something there.) The repeating drumrolls also got on my nerves eventually, but that wasn't a big deal.
Awesome job on this one. Reminded me of playing old web games as a kid. Thanque yeue foire thisue gammue!
Ah thanks for playing and so glad you completed it!
Confirms to me that while it might be difficult, it's still possible!
Thanks for the feedback. I did try and keep it as small as possible without feeling too cramped, but understand that sometimes a little extra walking can be a chore.
As for 'Bloeuf'. I didn't really make it clear but this was kind of an afterthought, and needs polish. It also finishes whenever it wants and didn't have time to fix that haha. So it can go for just 1 question or it can go for 20. Also no clear 'win' condition I know. It was more just like a pub-like pastime I wanted the player to be able to do to mix up the unicyclerreumentage, and left it like this for the jam, but understand it's not too clear what the purpose of it is. I was thinking a running tally and some reward for winning a round, like a top hat that gets higher every time you win, but as this was a last day of the jam bit of programming and I had other bits to finish, I left it as it is now.
Drum roll fully understand, I wish I could have found or created a drum roll that lasted longer instead of looping so fast, but didn't work out :(
Thanks again for le finisheur! I was until then concerned that it was infinnishablement!
Cheers! :)
I figured it was just a timekiller to switch stuff up between busking, and that was genuinely a great instinct to include. I was only hoping for a cash reward so I could get out of my 60-franc debt 😄
Truly, all of those things I mentioned (the walking, the drumroll, whatever) were tiny parts of the experience. This is easily a favorite jam game for me, it was so charming and had actual skill and growth to the gameplay! I look forward to your next project :)
Que c’est joli! This is one of my favorite so far. It’s really got a unique voice and it keep me returning for more. And just the right amount of faux francais that I can pretend to comprendre tout. Buskerons!!!
Very cool game, you really brought out the ambiencoire des belgiquement! Storytelling is really good and the music is well chosen. The balencoillrie du unicycloire is quite difficulte and le lancement the platerou (or, more accurately, l'attrapeouillere de those) seems impossiblement to me, but that didn't take much of the fun away ;)
The game has really funny settings and dialogues, I really like the humour and the style! Just that the unicycle is really difficult, we got -100 Francs debt now🤣 And it would be nice if we can skip the dialogues in the theater at the beginning when we try again:D
Love the pretend french, or proper french. Awesomicent! Didn't manage to survive the unicycle but love the graphics and vibe! :)
Nice interpretation of the theme! I also really like the atmosphere and the graphic style you created, it’s cool
This was a cute little game. I loved the challenge of balancing on the unicycle! My only criticism is that when you fall off the unicycle at the beginning, the text resets and you have to go through the conversation again. Other than that this was a great little game and is different to anything I’ve ever seen before
Funny little game with a good theme going on, graphics were simple but effective
