very good game i really liked it
loved the art style and the use of the theme, the controls felt good and the humor was on point! had tons of fun, great game! also i think i encountered a bug,the player just disappeared:
Woah what, thanks for the feedback. Could you tell us a bit more? If you don’t know exactly what happened, maybe what was happening before that or something?
so i was on one of the ledges, i picked up one of the things that beats up the hero and threw it at him at the same time as he got to me and i was launched pretty far and i just disappeared, the hero stopped moving completely and was just walking in place while the camera moved towards the right
i was also holding right and jumping at the same time this happened.
thats basically it
This was so much fun! Absolutely loved the art!
Thank you! :)
this is so well done!! enjoy play it very much!!
The art and music in this game was great! I loved the style
Haha, bonus creativity point for abusing itch’s custom noun in the best way possible! Game was really fun and I loved both the humor and the art; the ending in particular was perfect! I think I would have liked actual villain health and a losing state, but just making sure everyone gets to see the ending is may have been the correct choice. Very good entry!
The cutscenes remind me of WarioWare and they add to the charm of the game! I also like the exaggerated movements of the characters--the throw especially felt good to use. I wonder how you push "playing as the villain" further... Maybe give the player some control over the level layout, like levers that can raise platforms or create pits. This was a polished and fun entry!
Very fun entry, short but sweet, loved it!
Loved it. Simple but very fun mechanic. Awesome game for a jam!!!
This is super cute!!!! The art is so great and the premise is funny and entertaining!
Wow, those graphics are amazing for a jam this short! The music and sfx go very well together!
Great game ! Love the cartoon feel of the art and the various traps, and the increasing desperation and over-the-top-ness of the attempts. "up" key would have been more intuitive to use to jump, especially since it doesn't seem to do anything else
Loved the feeleing of running away from an unstoppable force. Sound of setting of my traps seemed to sync up with the soundtrack, and I love players idle animation.
Only problem I had gameplaywise, was that I tought that traps, robots etc will also hurt me on touch, so I needlesly tried some pixel perfect jumping on narrow platforms with those objects. After I knew they were harmless, the best tactic was just keep pushing right and sticking to the right side of the screen. Feels like game would benefit with player having some more respect for the right side of screen, if it could also spawn some traps to slow player down.
And thus I conclude my feedback sandwich, congrats on cool entry!
Thanks a lot for the feedback! Though I couldn’t understand very well the last bit about your tactic being “pushing to the left”. Pushing what, or who? Is the villain who should respect more the left side of the screen?
oh snap, I meant the right side of the screen... I just meant that there sometimes could be something dangerous ahead of player, apart from constant danger behind.
The gameplay is super fun the sound design is great and the ending is a nice touch thinking you'll win in some small fashion (or getting away) but only to be destroyed. The art is also super polished and the intro cutscene give off a comic book feel. Overall amazing submission and amazing job. :D (but it does make you wonder what his evil plan was, is the fact his bot looks like him mean he is a clone and the real genius is enjoying life presumed dead!!!!)
He was planning on using AI to submit a game to the GMTK Jam. Very evil, trust us.
I liked the cutscene at the beginning. Really polished game overall, well done!
Bravo! The animations were so well polished, gameplay felt great and didn't overstay it's welcome. Genuinely very funny and engaging game.
the art is so polished, and you've included so much polish (the cutscenes as well?) in just 48 hours, its incredible!
I love when I see the Godot loader! Godot all the wayyy!
First of all let me thank you for such a simple and quick tutorial, I hate tutorials with tons of text to read, you quickly showed controls at the menu, and the just let it roll, perfect. I tried to do the same with my own game, no text at all.
The gameplay is super smooth and really fun, challenging and engaging, the story and art style is super funny and adds a lot. This game is gold!
Thanks for the feedback! Godot enjoyers unite!!
Fun game! Great how it is possible to jump over him or sneak below him when he is jumping to dodge him as well.
Felt like I couldn't die before the end, which is a bummer in my opinion.
Had fun anyway, great work!
Thank you for your comment :)
We wanted to add an scoring system based on how many times he got to you but we run out of time!
The idea is really fun, I wished for some kind of life system that makes you want to better run from the hero. Other than that the execution here is amazing. Thank you for creating this game!
