ah, I lost this game 33 years ago

Submitted

Only getting pink screen when pressing play (browser version) or did i miss something?

Developer

With what browser did you try? It seems to work fine with chrome & firefox.

Submitted (1 edit)

I used Chrome and this is what I see. Tried Microsoft Edge and it worked fine ;/

Developer

Weird, I’ve never seen that. Maybe you had hardware acceleration disabled in chrome?

The reversal this showed was interesting lol. Very smooth and the graphics looked nice. The lighting was really nice as well.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your comment! Glad you like it:)

Submitted

Awesome. This game is well polished you can tell how much effort was put on the player experience. Good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I tried making the movement as fluid as possible!

Submitted(+1)

Fun game! And stunning visuals. Maybe a bit too tricky for a game jam game though, but at least there's an optional speed boost to help, although an extra life would be much better. Great job though!

Developer

Wow, thank you for your comment!

I agree the difficulty was maybe a bit high. You’re right, that’s a great idea! Providing some sort of second chance might have been more useful. That way player can get familiar with the map and retry to beat it if they want.

Story is great and the art style fits the theme! One tiny thing I would prefer is a countdown before restarting the "race" because it starts immediately and I makes me lose right away.
Great job!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!

I totally agree, it’s a bit unfair to the player. Unfortunately, I missed it when developing!

Gary Come Back!!! lol This concept is really original and fun! Good Job!

Developer

Ahaha, Gary was not very brave!

thanks for your feedback :)

Submitted(+1)

You did really good on the visuals. I was not expecting this kind of game but I'm glad you made it lol.

Developer

Thanks a lot for your comment!

La cinématique du début quand il fait demi-tour doucement m'a mise au sol  xD.

Le jeu est joli et tout est bien propre, juste un petit conseil, pour les timers etc dans l'UI utilise des font monospaced pour éviter que ca "gigotte". 

Coté gameplay par contre qu'est-ce que c'est difficile et punitif ! Mais au moins ca apporte une certaine satisfaction quand on en arrive a bout !

Apres j'ai pu drifter avec un spermatozoïde je sais même pas pourquoi je suis en train de chipoter, good job !

Developer(+1)

Ahah j’suis content c’était le but recherché!

En effet pas bête! J’ai corrgié quelques trucs pour plsu tard et ca en faisait parti. Juste en changeant la disposition de mes conteneurs ca ne gigotte plus!

J’avoue que ca peut être assez dur, j’y ai joué tellement de fois que je ne me rendais pas forcément compte! Et puis c’est court pour régler la difficulté. As-tu joué au gamepad? C’est vraiment plus simple qu’au clavier!

Merci pour tes commentaires!

Submitted

Oui j'y ai joué au gamepad :)

Is very hard :D but good

A bit grotesque interpretation of the jams theme but an entry nonetheless

The gameplay was fun and the choice to add an optional speedboost in the retry menu was a great choice.

Overall a good game especially when taking into consideration that it was made within 72 hours.


i also made a game for this jam. i would be happy if you would play it and rate it

The visual is soo great! The music is a little bit buggy when you press buttons. The idea is very funny and cool!

Developer

Thanks a lot for your comment :)

Yeah, the map is pretty big to load, and the sound behaves weirdly on web build during the loading.

Submitted(+1)

This is one of the funniest games I've played! It's really well made, good job!
I would've liked more tbh

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah I had more to add but unfortunately I was lacking time!

(+1)

The game is great and also fun

Submitted(+1)

This game is the best I've played so far! It's funny, difficult and overall a great game. My critique would be that the sound gets a bit weird when you click play and there also should be a "skip cutscene" button to skip the cutscene at the start

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your comment!

Yeah the sound is a bit buggy on the web player due to a too long loading time. With more time I would include a loading screen which should alleviate the problem.

You’re right, a skip button would be nice. Fortunately the cinematic is quite short.

I just didn't understand what i just played there. The game definitely made me laugh and the gameplay was fun too.

But the fact that you only have 1 life makes the game a bit frustrating. The upgrades after death didn't really feel like upgrades either, or i just dont get it.

However, the game looks really nice and the music is good too.

Overall it is a nice game. Good job.

Developer(+1)

Ahha I’m glad you liked it! It’s a bit weirs but I had a lot of fun making it.

I understand what you feel. I originally intented to give some sort of upgrade at each death. ith the lack of time I decided to drop the idea. I felt it would have been hard to balance to not make the game too easy. I put the boost button just in case it’s too difficult but the button gives you a small speed increase which may be too small..

Thank you for your feedback!

art is really polished

Submitted(+1)

I really like the music, and the aesthetic/simplicity remind me a lot of old XBLA games like Geometry dash, neat!

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it! Thanks for your feedback :D

Submitted(+1)

Really good art and fun gameplay. The intro is pretty funny xD

Developer

Thanks a lot! I had a lot of fun making it :)

Submitted(+1)

The polish on this is really good, no bugs encountered whatsoever which is really rare in game jam games lol. Not really a game design masterpiece but still a really fun and well executed game :)

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I’m glad no bugs were introduced ^^
