Thank you so much for playing and the kind words. I've never done this much art for a jam game, and it was my first time tackling sound.

Your feedback is in line with what I've heard pretty clearly from commenters and watching streamers. I realize just how important it is to teach the mechanics of the game in an in-game tutorial. A lot of players didn't realized hitting Bam launched the barrel into the air to take out the red zookeeper, but you could also time your BAM to bounce a barrel off the opposite wall so it stayed on its current platform, so you could take out a zookeeper you just missed on the ladder if throwing again wasn't an option.

If I update this entry, my first task is building in the tutorial, then desyncing bam and throw cooldowns and adding keyboard controls! But I've definitely learned, whenever my next jam is, I need to think about how I teach the player to play in game from the start!

Thanks again for playing and being part of the community.

Thank you for playing, and your score is still a crazy good run! Third best I’ve seen. 

He's just looking at his nose! Ha! From all the feedback and watching some streamers and YouTube uploads I see just how vital it is to build-in an in-game tutorial. I agree about tweaking the red zookeeper jump so that they jump a little sooner, and I'd give the player more ability to bam sooner to launch the barrels into them.

Thank you for the feedback and for playing my game. I appreciate it!

Thank you for playing and the feedback! I do need to make gameplay more intentional to prevent spamming. One thought is to have the powerups expire and place them in spots where you need to bam, so that way you have to choose whether to let your barrel explode on the zookeper, or jump over them and into the banana and vice versa. Some wave tweaking will help too.

Thanks again for giving it a try and your feedback.

I appreciate you playing!

Thank you for playing and for the kind words!

Thank you for playing!

Shhh. You mean, “CB.”  I don’t want Nintendo sending Chris Pratt after me!

Thank you for playing.

Thank you so much for playing and that’s a solid score! I definitely should have gone with keyboard controls. And glad you liked the sound! Did all the sfx with stuff around the house. 

Windows build does full screen but I couldn’t solve the HTML full screen issue in GMS2 by the time I realized it didn’t work.  It’s on my list of things to learn so I can improve next time. That’s what these jams are all about and I’m happy to be part of this great, creative community. 

I can definitely tweak the difficulty curve and teach the player the core mechanics in game. That's for a post-jam update, but thank you so much for playing and leaving your feedback.

Thank you so much for playing!

Thank you so much for playing and rating! I can’t want to check the full video. You played a couple of my faves from the jam. Thanks for recording it. 

Watching you play and narrate was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for that. 

So the key to the red zookeepers is that you throw the barrels ahead and right before they jump you hit BAM and it launches the barrels into the air and takes them out. 

I never really made that clear through gameplay, which would be the best option, but I saw you read the description and it’s not there either, but it is in the how to play image in the description, which you missed. 

All excellent lessons for me I wouldn’t have learned if not for your video. You’re awesome. Thanks for being part of the community!
