Very nice artwork and unique gameplay!

Nice job, definitely a unique take on the theme. I liked the art, especially the subtle animation of the kangaroos, it really made them feel alive. Also fun sound effects, though if you're going to have the same thing played a lot recording a few different variations and playing one at random can go a long way. 


I'm not personally a huge fan that the entire game basically comes down to random chance though. I started the game then realized I should probably read the description first, when I had finished that I had accidentally gotten 3 of the 4 statues then spent like 3 minutes trying to get the last one and make it back to the tent.

Very cool game! I love the art and the idea of hopping from one kangaroo to another! I think the game could be a bit better if you got the choice to choose what close kangaroo to hop to, but overall great game that fits the theme very nicely!

Cute game :) Loved how you all incorporated the theme into the game

Love it :). The theme implementation is brilliant and it was super fun to play :)

The sounds are great lol

The idea is great too, an Australian bush specialist rides kangaroos.

However it was a bit confusing at first because I couldn't see a player in the kangaroo that I was riding, and it took me a while to remember to read the description of the game lol.

Actually the graphics with the kangaroo carrying the player are ready, but I did't have time to integrate them.

We even had the character standing alone, idle and waiting for a passing kangaroo.

Master piece! Took me a moment to figure out how it works but unless i got it, it was an amazing (and made-me-frenzy!) experience! That st….id kangooos turned away 3 pixels before they hit gnaaaarrgggghlglglgl

Love it!

Thanks for your feedback!

I agree the randomness can be frustrating, but I could not find an easy way to correct that :)

No need to correct that! Part of the game. Good as it is
