Oye pues no está nada mal. Aunque todos los niveles sean el mismo visualmente el cambio de dificultad se nota. Enhorabuena!

Un gran juego de una semana hecho por una persona. Buen trabajo. Aunque como artísta la parte gráfica por chatgpt evidentemente la odio jajaj.. pero entiendo que al estar solo te viniera bien de apoyo. 

Buen trabajo! :)

Developer

Thanks for the comment :) hahah totally understand you not liking the gen graphics - but I didn't want to spend time on them :P

It was a lot of fun! I was surprised that the enemy also goes all the way to the wall 😁

Developer(+1)

Hahaha martha used to climb all the way up before I moved the background so there was more floor showing! She's a wild one for sure

You used the Jam's theme very well in your game

Developer

Very fun and innovative game! Love the concept.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much :) 

I made sockballs as a kid and had sockball wars whenever my mom just wanted me to clean up my laundry :P 

Submitted

AAHHH Martha runs away every single time so I cant hit her with those sockballs, I had so much fun playing, great game!

Submitted

Sockballs + throwing them to Martha. W game! ahahaha

Man... You created a compelling villain with Martha! I was VERY mad at her as the levels progressed haha. Great game! Really fun, really silly. I like to imagine your actual landlord's name is Martha and this is a fantasy of yours.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words :) I had a blast putting this together - and we all love to hate Martha!

Unbelievable that I don’t pair my socks at home, and now I have to do it here...

Developer(+1)

Sockballs are the only reason to pair socks! 

Submitted(+1)

Hi, I think it's a great idea that fits the theme like a sock ;) and the gameplay is very satisfying. Congratulations for the good work

Developer

Thanks for the kind words and the pun <3

Quite a nice game! Martha was a bit frustrating at times, runnig up the wall and all, but the idea of finding sock pairs to pay the landlord was hillarious. Also the game is quite clean and polished, so congratulations for this fine submission to the jam :D

Developer

Thanks so much for playing the game and your kind words! 

You definitely nailed Martha on the head - I need to tone down her movement patterns a bit so it's less frustrating and more about skill :)

I liked the game, it's entertaining, and the sounds are very well placed.

Thanks so much :)
