Best boomer game!
Congrats, guys! Technically paramount, it does not feel like a jam entry, so polished! The idea is extremely funny too. Amazing work.
thank you very much!!
Ahaha ! A new genre: FPF ( First Person Feeder)!
If only old people here in Italy were able to play the game, maybe they will avoid to go outside...
Dovremmo fare un gioco simulativo di cantieri per tenerli a casa ahhaahha
eheh, mi sembra una cosa fantastica... se hai bisogno di un folle che ti segue in questa idea, conta su di me!
Wow. This game is beautiful! 11/10 on the graphics and animation. The concept and style is really nice, definitely reminds me of something I would expect by Pixar. The composition within the title screen was beautifully arranged, could easily be a wallpaper background. The controls and objective were very clear from the get-go. The music was nice and complimented the game pretty well. The sound FX weren't repetitive, sounded nice and natural. I can definitely see this being a VR or mobile game given the simple controls and mechanics. Although I don't feel like the cane smacking mechanic provided value to the actual gameplay (I found it more efficient to just feed the animals every time instead), I think it's still valuable simply because it's hilarious, with that said I would've kept it in the game if I were building it myself too. The energy meter was a nice touch because it prevented me from just spamming different food all over the place, but at the same time it almost felt like the energy meter didn't exist once I started carefully selecting food to throw out (energy regenerated faster than animals would arrive and didn't make it too punishing to occasionally make a mistake).
Overall a beautiful, simple, and fun game.
Thanks a lot for the detailed review! We are considering whether to expand the project. Yes, feed the animals is more efficent that kick them! If you want, you can try this build POST-JAM (not consider it for evaluation): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LVQmYiqNhZyHh_iTYnPR7OJwQbZioW7i
In this build the game is more balanced and the cane is more efficient!
Old bench guy, Boy. Feed the birds and what have you got? Fat birds.
Loving the style of this game, well done!! 😁🐦
Thank you very much!! ❤
This is seriously hilarious, I don't get how you guys managed to get a game that is so good looking in such a short amount of time. Loved it.
Thanks for playing the game and the nice feedback <3
