Very fun very well rounded arcade game! The visuals are real nice, I love how fluidly animated all the pixel art is. Your artists did a great job! The music was pretty good too, the concept / gameplay was good, and the execution was amazing
Very sad you can't do tricks on the skateboard, imagine being able to press space once more in the air to do a kickflip or smthing which does nothing aside from looking cool
The thing the game lacks most though is narrative, which, in all honesty, is a very stupid and dumb rating criteria to have in a 4 day long game jam. But alas, until we start a coup, I have to rate it on that category. The story feels pretty mid and forced, told through a singular cutscene and the description. Eh. Not the best. I mean, I'm not sure what I expect from a 4 day game jam entry from anyone, forcing narrative just means its not possible to make a perfect 5/5 game anymore, because good narrative drains so much of your time you're forced to compromise elsewhere. I hate it. I hate the new rating criteria. Honestly the rating criteria worked fine before. I expect to see a lot of games in this jam that are forced to add story when they really really don't need it (like this one), which is so bloody horrible and restricts game design freedom by far. Game devs are able to do so much more when they don't have to worry about story in a jam.
What was I doing again? Oh right, game review, yeah the game is good all around (except for narrative grrr i hate the new gmtk rules) good job teamwanna form a coup together team
