Fun and cute game:). Art style, gameplay, and animation are great!

Very cute art style. The icon grabbed my attention right away from the submissions list.

I ended up at a high score of 800 after a few attempts, the controls were a bit tricky to get a handle on and occasionally you would just have to smack it as hard as you can and hope for the best lol

Great art and well done!

Developer

Thank you!! I'm glad that you liked the icon! It was one of my favorite things to do :)

First off, the art style was incredible! I struggled a bit with the bouncing control and ended up just pushing them around together and then rushing at the flowers, but I like the concept. Good job!

Thank you so much!! We'll work to create even cooler games in the future hehe :)

Aaaand another great game! Enjoyed playing it - it was so much fun stretching the "bond" as much as possible and then let them bounce around like crazy. I also like the artwork a lot. A tech question: How did you implement the "wobbling lines"? Are these made out of 2 separate images? Or is there a way to make one image wobble like this? I really would like to hear your oppinion/rating for our game as well - they both are kind of similar.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your kind comments!! We made the wobbling lines (I like to call them lines that are free in the wind) by animating an image using four frames. For example, if you wanted to animate an apple with those lines you would draw it out and use onion skins to draw on the next frames. Don't worry about getting the frame to match the one before perfectly because then you will lose the beautiful wobble! I mostly always use four frames for things like the characters' faces and three for big complicated things like the environment. I don't recommend using two frames because it usually looks too jittery! We will definitely check out your game as soon as possible :D!! If you have anymore questions about the animations just let me know!

Really lovely art and a fun idea, too! I loved how crazy it could get bouncing around! Great work!

Thank you so much :) We're happy to see that you had fun bouncin 'round :)

I love the artstyle, super cute!! I like the concept of "golf-ing around" your partner, but it seems a bit unhealthy :P

Developer

Thank you!! We're glad you like our idea. You're right though.. maybe they need some counseling 0_0

I really love the look of this game, but I think a little polish in other aspects than the artstyle would’ve done the game some good - even just a couple simple SFX and better collision on the environment would have done a lot. I still had a pretty good time with this very cute game, though!

Developer

Thank you :) We are definitely going to include more SFX in our future games. We will work on polishing things up too!! Glad you had a good time :D

The icon for the game reminded me a lot of how adventure time looks. Anyways, the art is fantastic, the music is cool, i just wish there were some sound effects, and also the game is a little buggy. But all around i say you did a great job!

Developer

We are both huge fans of Adventure Time and it definitely influenced us! It is really cool that you noticed! We are looking forward to exploring sound effects in our future games :) Thank you!!!

Of course!

Cute but takes a loooot of time to get right. A lack of instructions really sets this back. 

Developer

Thank you so much for stopping by!! We will keep your feedback in mind for our future games :)
