How did you implement the theme?
Fantasy world where you got isekai'd (yes, very original I know) in a previous life and ended up as a bucket. That can push around somehow. You're in a pretty peaceful place, but that's also far away from the wizard (wow fantasy element) who can help you.

How did you add the special object?
You...play as a bucket.

This was awesome! Super well made, a ton of fun. I think this was one of the best submissions to the game jam! Thanks for the game! (Also I played to the end on Mobile and it worked great!)

Developer

Oh, thank god, I had no clue if the game would even work on mobile! Thanks for the feedback - I was pretty surprised with where this placed, but I guess from the feedback it tracks, haha :3

I really liked the difficulty of the game, it wasn't too hard, but definitely not easy. I would've liked to see some variety between obstacles and more audio would really make it more fun to play. I really like the movement though, it's really well made!

Developer

Yeah, variety was a bit hard to make as I was busy for 3 days and the first 2 were all just getting movement & things down! I would’ve liked to implement stuff, but the game didn’t really have a map, so I kinda just had to get that out. Audio wise, that was actually a scramble on the last day, mostly because I’m not very smart, hehe. I might consider making a better version of this and call it Bucket Simulator 2 or something, we’ll see. Thanks for the kind words :3

The game is really fun, I liked the Getting over It feel, at one point I got stuck in a ditch and I spent 10 minutes trying to get out lol. Great job!

Developer

Was it the ditch with the two platforms on either side? That one is a bit hard to get out yeah. The main inspiration is in fact Getting Over It, so that’s epic. Thanks for the kind words :3

At first I was like, man I don't like this type of game. And then I played it for 15 mins trying to get past the steep hill with the first sign. Good job, I think it works pretty well!

Congrats! Thanks for playing, I hope your thoughts on foddy-likes (I think that’s the right word, feel free to prove me wrong) have been swayed well. Thank you :3
