Really well polished game, nice art style and animations, overall great game!
Apologies, I forgot to add animations to the exceptions list! I've updated that. We got our animations from Mixamo.com
We are glad you like the game though!
Eh, it doesn't really matter, it's a jam where you can use pre-made assets and you did, which any of us could have also done
Wow this feels so polished, every detail feels just right. I especially like the different movie titles, it made me laugh, Fast and furiously 44. This game really gives me a papers please kinda vibe.
Glad to hear it! We enjoyed making the titles as much as people love reading them!
Nice work, we also did a video store sim if you want to check it out.
Haha, this one was a cute spin on the theme! The VHS reference crossed my mind early in the week, too. Your take on it is very well done! I like how the shelving and genre distinction affect the gameplay.
I miss Blockbuster. 😭 Aside from a couple bugs I noticed (losing VHS tapes on the ground and being asked for tapes I didn't have), I really liked this game! The concept was really cool, and I liked figuring out the most efficient way to organize the tapes. Great job!
Block buster was amazing! Glad you were able to figure out an efficient method of tape organization! You've met one of our goals we wanted during development!
I love everything about this game! It's similar to the game I made. I had a lot of fun trying to manage all the tapes and keep customers happy
I like the idea, and the execution is great as well. The game looks excellent and the audio after inserting and retrieving VHS tapes adds to the experience. I do think the player should have some freedom to move around their workspace, and dropping VHS tapes on the ground and not being able to pick them up is somewhat frustrating. In spite of this, I really enjoyed your submission! Great work!
I agree with you, that was unfortunately something I forgot to change. I was either going to increase to lower limit view, or make the tape drop into the drop box if it fell.
We're glad you enjoyed the game nevertheless!
Nice I like it ha its funny how we came up with similar ideas and yet they are all different from each other I really liked your menu and cinematic camera that was real nice
Thanks, I was actually surprised when our 3D artist (Hipster) said they would rig up some camera work. They apparently have background in cinema! It was really awesome to experience!
I like it... possibly because my entry is quite similar in concept :D I like the art style in your game, it's got a nice feel to it and the design is very consistent. The little animations and sounds are nice touch
Really fun and intuitive, especially liked the names of the movies! It was a little annoying when customers would come in asking for tapes that hadn't been returned yet, since once you're out of candy there's no way to calm them down. Still managed to finish the game, and enjoyed playing!
Thanks! I try to make tutorials and designs as intuitive as possible. Unfortunately we had issues balancing the customer needs with the returns. I'm glad you were able to finish and enjoyed it though!
nice game!
I really like the concept! very good game :)
A simple and entertaining game, better than many others I have tried. The camera is a bit rough though.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! We noticed the camera felt a bit off in the Web Build, so there's an adjustable "Camera Speed" setting, maybe that would help!
Nice ambient and aesthetic, the music suit well the game! Just a little bit confusing at the beginning X)
Glad you enjoyed it even with the confusion!
If you could, I would love to get your feedback on the How to Play screen so I can improve it tutorial designs in later games! Kinda something I love doing ^_^
Funny interpretation of the theme. Good visuals, easy to understand gameplay and great music to rewind tapes to. Nice one!
Glad we could give you a good laugh!
No doubt , the best BlockBuster simulator ever made!
Blockbuster was a great time! So why not make a great ode to such! :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
ahahhahha it is so clever! Very good! Keep working on it! I will follow
Hey hey! I'll see you in future posts hopefully!
Don't forget to follow the other team members if you haven't already! This was a team effort after all!
Team information can be found in "More Information"
It was fun playing your game! I like the art style. If you like this idea, keep working on it! Awesome job submitting a great game to this jam and I hope you improved your game making skills. If you have time, please check out my game :D
I know at least the programmers shared knowledge and broadened each others skills greatly. It was an awesome learning experience!
Glad you had fun! I'll be checking your game out for sure.
I loved it !! Took me a bit of time to understand how to play, but once I got it, it was great !
Good take on the theme, original, good audio and graphics ! I wish there were more levels and all !
Glad you were able to get a hang of it!
I would love to get your feedback on how we might improve the How to Play section for future tutorial designs! I love improving my skills to create a great tutorial! :D
