Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • I played this together with friends, and we all agreed it was really clean and snappy. One of our group who is well versed on fighting games mentioned that the game is really snappy and responsive - using just one frame for a punch means the feedback is immediate, and it -felt- really responsive. The wailing guitars were great, and the sound was impressive. The sheer amount of art was a big bonus too. Our first all fives rating this jam!

Dude the music an sfx are top notch! Definitely feels great.  Im often bad at these games and wanted to see what would happen if/when I got over 6 successful stool punches but couldnt will myself to do it.

Would love your thoughts on Aerostat! :)

So simple and so effective!
The SFX when you punch is SO satisfying, I can't believe it. I don't have much to say, this is really good
Great job on the submission!

So good! Presentation overall looks very well polished. It's easy to understand, hard to master.

Hilariously fun!!

The crowd, the graphics, the soundtrack, everything works together to hype up the basic gameplay loop, and it works so well!

This is one of the most character-filled entries by far. The controls are a lot better and the gameplay loop is quite addicting. I said it before but I'll say it again, the music and art of this game is top notch and feels exactly like the kind of game a group of teenagers would lose hours over just to beat each other's scores. Congrats on this humorous and addicting entry!

Absolutely amazing soundtrack and gamefeel, one of my favourite games so far!

Love how the crowd gets rowdier and rowdier and how it kinda fucks up your visibility but you also don't want them to leave, lol

Solid mechanic, hilarious premise and execution, and a banger soundtrack!

I hate the stupid chair

Very interesting game, loved the presentation, SFX, and music. Bizzarre idea, yet really well done and entertaining. I`d love it  to have a highscore list, its quite addictive!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the thoughts!! A highscore list in on the, well, list, and I'll try to add it on the Newgrounds version coming soon after the end of the jam (as well as some touch controls for mobile)

Really nice presentation, and quite challenging!

Super clean presentation. I wasn't sure what I was in for based on the title and cover image, but it turned out to be quite fun. The game loop is simple, but it is quite polished and very engaging. Very cool and humorous entry.
