Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at the playthrough again in the future here's the VOD timestamped to your game
Thanks for having me
The different worlds are so fun and they fit the theme really well! I was struggling quite a bit at first but feeling the improvement after a few retries was really satisfying. A really cool idea with a great execution!
Very entertained game! Got to 88 place :)
Pretty fun game! Intuitive, with charming art and just the right difficulty. As others have said probably the biggest improvement would be to distinguish better between foreground and background plus some small UI adjustements. What can i say more? Animal crackers/10. Also if you have time check out our game!
The background music is chosen perfectly, liked it!
The only thing I missed is the quick restart button to bypass the game over and leaderboards screens.
Also, would be great to blur the background a bit, so you can easily distinguish obstacles on your way.
Thanks for sharing your game with me!
Thanks, yeah that disco song is a banger. Totally agree with you on the background too, wish I would have caught that before hand. Added some better contrast or something.
Sorry, you missed the retry button. There is one on the gameover screen but yeah the leaderboard pops up first. Maybe I should have changed the ordering around or had it all just on one screen or something. I'll definitely keep this in mind. Thanks for letting me know.
Appreciate the constructive feedback and thanks for checking it out :)
A simple and fun game! Leaderboard is a nice touch
Thanks for playing and for the kudos!
This game is so fun! Great job, the art looks amazing, and the leaderboard is a nice touch!
Glad you have fun with it. Super glad you enjoyed the art too. Thanks for checking it out!
A simple yet fun game to play! Has a lot of replayability value due to the leaderboard! Great work.
Thank you for the kind words :)
This game is actually really good! It's so much fun and the game feel is great. Trying to beat my high score is super addictive and kept me coming back. The art is awesome too. it really reminds me of Pizza Tower. Great job!
Thanks a lot! Means a lot to me. Really glad you enjoyed it and for the Pizza Tower comparison. That game is great! Thanks alot for playing :)
Nice game! The artstyle is cool and the platforming/ auto side scroll was nicely done. Good job :)
Thanks! Appreciate you checking out the game :)
A solid auto runner. The leaderboard def had me replaying a few extra times. I enjoyed the backgrounds, maybe a little too much bc I kept getting distracted haha
Great job!
Appreciate it! Thanks for checking it out and happy you enjoyed it.
Very simple mechanic executed perfectly. Leaderboard adds so much to this game, it made me replay this more times than I want to admit to. Gameplay is, as I said simple, yet very satisfying and coin collecting sound is also tempting me for that one more try. So, yeah, very good job and nicely polished game! :)
Thanks alot! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
It's very fun game to play. I was bad and too ashamed to put my name on the leaderboard lol Great work :)
Lol, I'm very happy you enjoyed it :) Thanks for playing!
Very fun game! It was a brilliant idea to add a scoreboard. It makes the game much more fun to play. Pretty polished too. I would have liked the option to jump with other inputs than spacebar, like W, Up arrow and left mouse button for example. Good job with this game.
Oh, that's a good idea, I should have done that. I'll keep that in mind if I ever make something like this again (which I most likely will). Thanks for that. Very happy you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing!
That was fun. I suck at the scores but i got 94! It would be nice if the game only remembers the highest score. Nice job
Yeah I need to implement the leaderboard to replace the highest score. I've been manually clearing multiple entries, keeping the highest score, at the end of each day, so the multiple names go away. But definitely needs to be done right when it happens. Its a custom backend service I created, so it'll take some tweaking.
Super glad you had a good time with it. Appreciate the compliments and the feedback :)
Love the game, love that you are a married duo! Relationship goals :) I really enjoyed it, and I wish I had more eyes so I could look at the character and the art at the same time.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that you checked out the game. Glad you like it. Yeah, we're a tag team duo over here lol. We figured if we can conquer Overcooked together, we can do anything XD. This is our third game jam, and third game, really, period. We're still learning a lot, but it's been fun.
Dude this game's great!!! Really addictive and I love the Pizza Tower vibes (if that's the aesthetic you were going for haha). It's really cute u and ur wife worked together on this :)
Honestly I don't think I have any criticism, the controls are very very forgiving with coyote timing and adding a leaderboard is GENIUS but unfortunately I don't think ChickenSlayer29 or his 2 other attempts are ever gonna land in your top 10 haha. I couldn't even break 10k, the greek mythos part always messes me up, tried three times and ended up getting 9300 and 9200 lmao
Great job guys keep up the great work!!!
Thanks :). Yeah, this is our third game jam now, and third game for me, period. So we're still learning a lot. Really glad she's able to find time to draw, she has a wild imagination as you can see lol.
Appreciate the compliments, comments like these make us really, really happy to be creating games, albeit small ones :)
No problem! Keep it up guys :D
Addictive game! I liked the fast pace of the game, made me want to keep going. Also, how cool that you and your wife worked on this together.
Yeah, and thank goodness too. If it were only me, it would have just been squares and cylinders lolol. This is our third game jam now, so we're learning a lot. Glad you like the pace of the game and had a good time. Appreciate you checking out the game :)
nice take on the theme, i loved the disco vibe on the first level! and its so cool that you have a leaderboard!
Doggy disco is the only way to disco lol. Thanks for checking it out and playing!
Cool visuals and audio. I sucked at it though - dominated the Leaderboard as Bob with many a 0
Lol I just saw all the Bob's in the database XD. Win by numbers is also a good strategy lol.
Very glad you liked the visuals and audio. Thanks for checking it out!
