Haha I loved the artstyle and you made me laugh with the cutscene!

Great game but I don't know if you can win, I miss some health bar or sth like that! 

Really nice jam submission! Congrats!

Very fun game! I liked the overall vibe. The concept was interesting and well executed. The only criticism I have is that gameplay was getting a bit monotonous at the end. Still, good job on the game.

I like this! Incredibly funny and the gameplay was very fun. I think having a points system where you lost points for being attacked would be good, even as just an endless mode or something. I was starting to wonder if there was an ending right around the time the ending happened, but I do feel like some sort of progress meter would be good so that people don't give up before reaching the end. Great job overall!

Thank you for your comment! That is actually a good idea and we wanted to implement it but sadly, time was not on our favour! hahaha

I love the intro sequence and the running animations the most. This is a fun sidescroller! 

I wish there was an end- if there is, I couldn't find one by trying to win OR by trying to lose. Also, I really wished the screen moved faster to keep the intensity going!

That said though, the actual game works really well. It runs smoothly, is intuitive, and has great graphic and sound design.

Nice work!

Hey thank you for playing and your comment! We are happy you ve enjoyed it :)

But what do you mean there is no end?? There is a final cutscene once the level is over!

MaxxySubmitted299 days ago(+2)

I guess I didn't have the patience to get all the way to the end. Eventually I tried to let the hero kill me but it seemed like I had infinite health so I kind of gave up. Definitely wasn't meant as a criticism though, so maybe I would amend my statement to say that I wish the end came sooner.

I thought originally that it was one of those infinite procedurally generated running games like Jetpack Joyride, so I think that's what I was expecting.

Thats okay! We were asking because we were afraid that there was a bug that prevented the end from happening!

And we get what you said! One of our fears was that it would look like an infinite procedurally game and people wouldnt get that it had an end. We were thinking of ways of fixing this but you know... game jam times are cruel, so we hacent had time to tackle that haha

This was such a polished jam game! I really liked it and I got really into it. Only thing that took me down a notch was the controllers, but that's definitely something you can improve on after the voting period, if you're still interested in improving the game. ^^

Thanks, yes we are interested in improving the game! Were you expecting an alternative with WASD controls or something similar?

Reply

Yes! I guess I'm really used to navigating with WASD ^^"

Very polished game. Reminded me of flash games that I used to play.

Aesthetic is excellent. Very impressive that you managed to make so many art assets and the music during the 48hr Jam period. Cutscenes were very enjoyable.

For improvements, I think the actual gameplay needed a bit of work. I'd suggest adding support for wasd movement and maybe using mouse click to control the direction of throwing stuff.

Overall, good submission. Well done!

We also think gameplay can be improved, and some more control over throwing stuff was thought about but cut at the end of the jam. Thanks!

The graphics and music were both incredible! I loved the goofy smile plastered to the hero the entire time as you manically throw everything you have at him, knowing it will never be enough. The animations were really on point. I couldn't find any bugs while playing, it was all really well put together!

Thanks! What did you like about the movement, specifically?

Reply

That effect on leg while moving when talking about graphical way 😁. And when hero beat and throw the villain.

The game is a lot of fun and gives me a nostalgic feeling of the flash game era. The animations are superbly done, and there is a wide range of traps available to use.

Very enjoyable game. There's a nice variety of traps and the intro is very funny.
I felt bad for the villain though, I wanted him to win despite the title of the game :'(

I really liked the art style and the relentlessness of the hero. I was trying everything to keep him at bay! I played 3 times, trying to not get hit at all, and maybe get a secret ending, because I think the villain deserved it. Alas, I could not do it. Very nice game!

There is no secret ending because we barely got the game finished! hahah

But we are thinking about adding some stuff when the voting period is over.
