I really liked the game! it’s easy to understand and challenging! I’m sure developing it was a lot of fun, hahaha. Congrats on the submission!

Hey everyone! 👋

I just finished submitting my entry, Route to Town, and I’d love for you guys to check it out.

It’s a fast-paced, retro pseudo-3D arcade racer inspired by classics like Top Gear and OutRun. To fit the “Silly” theme, your main objective is desperately honk at wandering cows and random snowmen blocking the highway at full speed (beating the clock)! 🐮⛄

(I noticed later that the GIF is really slow hahaha)

The Tech & The Silly: I coded the custom pseudo-3D engine from scratch in GameMaker (which was quite the math challenge under a time limit, but I already knew how to do it in some way). But to keep things “silly” and charming, I drew literally every sprite myself using the GameMaker itself.

🚀 The Future (Why I need your help!): I had so much fun making this that I’m actually planning to expand this jam prototype into a full, serious commercial release in the near future.

Since you all have that critical developer eye, I would really value your honest feedback! Specifically:

• How does the steering/speed feel to you?
• Is the time-attack difficulty fair?
• What mechanics or new biomes would you love to see in a bigger version?

If you haven’t played yet, I ask you to play! 👉 https://itch.io/jam/jerbobs-silly-game-jam/rate/4430385

Thank you so much for playing! Please drop a link to your jam submissions below so I can play and rate your games as well! Let’s support each other! 🙌

Cool, I played, commented and rated your games! Can you check out mine too? Thanks!

This game gave me a nostalgic vibe! The mix of real elements with rough 3D worked really well. Would be fun if the shopping cart filled up too haha. Congrats, great job!

For some reason this game hit me with pure nostalgia! That mix of real-life vibe with janky 3D was actually super cool! I just think the shopping cart could also fill up with products, don’t you think? haha

Really liked the Hotline Miami vibe. Got a bit repetitive because the bar takes forever to fill, but curiosity kept me going till the end (and worth it haha). Solid potential with some polish!

Really liked the game, got that Hotline Miami vibe. But the problem is it got kinda repetitive and a bit draining, probably because the bar takes forever to fill.

Still, curiosity won and I played it till the end, and worth it haha. Props on the game, it’s got solid potential if you polish it up a bit

That’s really cool! I made a game similar to this one, but using pseudo-3D technic. I’d like to invite you to play it, too. Congratulations on your submission!

Thx! Totally agree! Top Gear vibes were exactly what I was aiming for. Appreciate the kind words!

Thanks!! <3 I really think lil details like that make a big diff in games overal, so I love adding them. Super happy u noticed :D

Thanks a lot! :D Once the base system was coded, adding new biomes was pretty straightforward. just needed the backgrounds, objects, and music. Glad you enjoyed it!

I really liked the game. It’s really funny and entertaining, even though it’s simple. Congratulations! I bet it was a lot of fun to make!

hey Mefrius, thx for playing again and for the honest feedback! glad u liked the visuals and audio.

you’re right about the gameplay. it started as small coding tests while I was studying cybersecurity, then I just polished it up for my portfolio. so yeah, it’s not super a puzzle-heavy like Fallout or Cyberpunk (but I’ll def look into it!).

your point about focusing on the core loop is solid, I’ll keep that in mind for future games. really appreciate you taking the time to share! <3

Lol you were right, it was too hard. v0.2 is out now with a real tutorial + fair difficulty. Try again!

v0.2 is out! New tutorial and better difficulty. Try it! o/

hey, thanks for the feedback. you’re totally right. I originally made this just as a small side project, but the game is way too hard right now and really needs clear instructions. I’m currently working on an update to add a proper tutorial and tone down the frustrating difficulty so it’s actually fun xD

Cool idea, simple but fun and well polished. Congrats!

Excellent work, congratulations! I'll definitely be using it in my projects and quoting you.

I've looked into the game's code, and there really was a problem with the count when the tower of chicks was instantiated. Now its fixed! Thanks! ☑️

I also have the slight impression that theres something wrong with the count haha thx for reporting it, I'll keep analyzing it 🤔

Não esperava menos. Pack completinho e com muita qualidade. Mto massa, Dagon!!!

kkkkkkkk gostei muito, parabéns Dagonzin

Love the creativity! Idea very well executed, congratulations!

I really enjoyed the game! Very fun idea, and I felt challenged to look for all solutions! Good job! 

Joguinho muito bom! 

Eu gosto bastante de como esse cenário desfocado deixa a ambientação mais rica. Acredito que somaria bastante substituir os elementos do jogo por outros que colaborassem com a temática de gatos domésticos. Exemplo: Empurrar móveis pela casa, ou novelos de lã, não sei. auhauhauh

Movimentar e rotacionar a cämera poderia ser outra boa adição. Moedinhas e skins também! De toda forma, o jogo está bastante agradável e muito sólido! Adicionando compatibilidade total com joysticks já deixará mega completo para ser publicado! Valeu!

EDIT: Vi depois que já tem 3 skins, nice dms hauhua

Curti pra caramba! Eu também estou desenvolvendo um jogo bullet hell que consiste em coletar pequenos orbes. Mas a sua ideia de converter os orbes coletados numa munição ficou um suco! Muito bom!

Algumas impressões:
• Acredito que seria bom diminuir o tamanho das hitboxes para evitar frustrações. Diversas vezes morri achando que foi injustamente rsrs
• É importante deixar os controles unificados. Já que o jogo é jogado no teclado, a interface também poderia ser assim, para evitar a alternância entre teclado e mouse.
• Por ser um jogo que o jogador morre com frequência (ou foi só eu? hahaha), acho que seria bom ter um botão para Skipar a cutscene de derrota. Ela tá bacana, mas torna-se rapidamente tediosa devido a repetição.

No mais, parabéns pelo jogo, gostei demais e já quero jogar as próximas versões! +1 follower!

So much fun! I really liked it!

I really liked the presentation and the music of the game. You created a good atmosphere!

But it is not very clear what the goals are. I guess the game is not complete, right? Anyway, it was an excellent use of the assets, congratulations!

Just using the keyboard, without touching the mouse hahahahaha

I really liked the physics of the game, and how the sprites matched and everything looked really nice!

With some sound effects it would be very nice! I also missed some goals in the game, to make it more engaging. Anyway, it was a nice use of the assets, congratulations!

I guess the game is not complete, huh?  I couldn't eliminate any enemies. But a good idea on how to use the assets.

Very addictive! I liked it very much even though it was simple! Congratulations!

Hi friend! I downloaded your game, and at first I had not been able to play! Because there is a bug that if you move the mouse on the title screen, the cursor disappears!

But after several attempts I managed to start the game, and I liked it a lot! Unfortunately I died on the boss hahaha but I liked the atmosphere you created, super involving and fun! 

I'm surprised to see that your game didn't have any ratings yet, because you are very careful with the page and presentation. Congratulations for the submission, and if you have a chance, check out my game too! Thanks!

I really liked the idea and the execution! You managed to create a very engaging setting and a very fun game. Congratulations! 

I was stuck in this game for a long time hahahahahaha Unfortunately I couldn't defeat the boss.

Hi guys, I've been searching but haven't found anything about it. 
Do we have a Discord server? If so, could you please share the link? Thanks!

I really liked the idea of making the character heavier as the game went on! I also used the same asset pack, but used a different approach (I would love for you to play).
Congratulations on the submission!
