What a unique concept: Ratatouille's Remy as a gambling-addicted deadbeat dad with Tony Hawk skills. I'll have what the developer took to come up with this, please. Or maybe this is someone's elaborate way of remembering their 12-word Bitcoin key phrase?

The world-building is weird, done with a lot of "dirty" and "toilet" humor, but the visuals match that style completely. The characters are drawn with thick cell-shading, giving a nice cartoony feel. The music was funky, with an exceptional slapping bass.

The skating is fast and easy to pick up, and the skate park is nicely designed. My biggest suggestion would be a real tutorial area to learn the tricks, or to buy them one by one in the store. As amazingly fluid as the gameplay was, I had no idea what the hell I was doing or why it worked.

The other part was the gambling side, with a simple slot machine that has an extremely high chance of giving a return on investment. This makes it possible to buy everything in the store.

But you buy all that swag and then only see it when you go down the toilet or get shooshed away, not in-game or when you pay off your woman. Behind all that fuzz, it still mimics daily life for most people.

All you need to do now is commit to the visual style, add arenas, and create a bigger story about needing to pay off some criminal over an X amount of days to raise the stakes even more. Do I pay child support, the criminal, or gamble? Based on the feedback here, there should be massive potential. 

We're glad you definitely noticed he was a scummy deadbeat father haha. The original idea cooked from one of our devs saying we had to make a game about a deadbeat father needing to pay child support from there everyone was on board to make it a reality.

Spookto and DNBaldwin definitely cooked with the visuals and audio!

We had the tutorial etched in to be done on the levels of the toilet/washbasin/toilet roll handle/floor but didn't get enough time after finally getting slope skating/grinding rails in sadly but this is planned for next release when uploads unlock again.

We wanted to have the win rates high for the jam but definitely agree that the values should be tuned down for release!

The swag not showing correctly was a bug because we originally didn't plan to have it in on jam close but one of the devs had 40 min to try to get it in and did 'good enough' to help get the idea across haha.

Thankyou for all the suggestions, most of these we have etched down and have planned to roll in but we will definitely add the extras we don't have! The initial pass was going to have several outfits, each day another illegitimate child would show up increasing the amount of child support you had to pay, you would eventually have to earn enough cheddar to pay a lawyer to sue baby mama so you could win the game. There are a lot more outrageous things we have on our whiteboard and we will start dropping the plans after the jam has finalized.

If you enjoyed the game and want to keep up with the updates then definitely make sure to add it to your collection!
