Thanks!! (⌒‿⌒)
I hope you can rate my game also ! It will be helpful for me:)
Graphics and controls were really nice. Good job
Thank you!! (◕‿◕)
The graphics and music are great. I played for about 6 minutes and i think i didn’t got any breaking news…
The controls are very good too!
Please, rate my game if you have the time!
Thank you!! (✧ω✧)
You can select a piece of fake news every 10 delivered newspapers, and you can monitor the total number of delivered newspapers on the top right corner of the screen, near the newspaper icon. We're aware that it is easy to click on a piece of news too quickly before reading it, so my advice is to be careful not to spam-click on the screen when the counter is close to a multiple of 10.
By the way, your game has a nice soundtrack.
Cool Idea!
Thank you! (✯◡✯)
Nice game! I had fun playing it. It took a bit to get used to the throwing but it was nice once I did.
Good job!
Would love it if you can rate my game :D
Thanks! We'll try to improve our skills even more (◕‿◕)
your idea is so clever!! :-) i like that you can spam throwing different distances to get into the target even outsight of view range. i would like the fake news to be more frequent. It's quite the chore to get to the really interesting theme related bit of your game. Other than that, (very) good work!
Thank you!! Sorry for the late reply, but the last few days have been quite hectic, and we couldn't do much more than upvote.
You're right; we should have made the fake news selection more frequent (or made the player choose the first piece of fake news right at the beginning of the game).
Thank you for playing and enjoing our little game! (*°▽°*)
Very interesting game, I love it! The gameplay is very well done!
I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^
Thank you!! (✧ω✧)
i like the art i do with tho it was a bit easier to aim the mail mby an indicator where it will land. other than that it was fun
Thanks!! (◕‿◕)
I really liked the artstyle and the journal throwing mechanic. I think it's a good starting point to start working on a bigger game after the jam! Good job!
Thank you!
Yeah, we know it's more like a demo now, but we're happy with the result; we wanted to try something different (for us, who develop since very few months) and we're glad it's been appreciated :)
Thanks again for playing our game!
(Also, I love you game. Wow.)
I really like the concept. I think you are definitely on to something. It would be cool to see how the articles you pick could give you power ups but also backfire depending on how the people you deliver the news to react.
Oh, we had so many ideas in mind, and so little time! As you can see, right now the world is a bit unpopulated; putting people in it and making them react to news or even affect them in some ways was something we really wished to do!
So thank you for your suggestion and for having the time to play our game! :D
The animation of the player is very impressive! Cool game :)
Wow, thank you! We were experimenting new ways to animate sprites, and we're glad the effort is appreciated!
Great animation & really solid controls.
Thanks a lot, for your comment and for taking time to play our game :)
Cute game with nice aesthetics. I felt like Postman Pat driving around in Pallet Town. In terms of gameplay, it was a little difficult to figure out how to turn but once I got the hang of it, it felt quite natural. Also, what is the purpose of the heart-meter?
Overall a nice looking game and thank you both for the experience.
If you got the time, feel free to check out our submission as well: OINK
OH, now I see were my mind took unconscious inspiration for the player sprite O____O
Besides that, thanks a lot for playing our little game! The health bar is used when certain fake news become true, for the player to get hurt. But you're right, it kinda seems underutilised for the majority of time. Maybe showing it and hiding it according to necessity might have helped players to focus on the gameplay :)
Again, thanks for your comment, we're happy you liked this!
I wish I would see how the fake new is picked up by the people and how the influence the world - but maybe that's for a bigger game. Nice work! :)
thank you!! We hope that one day we'll be able to make broader games within the deadline （*＾ワ＾*）
The animations are really clean. I absolutely love the legs moving and the paper flying in the air. Really solid stuff.
The long range throws were quite hard to hit, but satisfying if you ever did!
Thank you!! We're really happy that you appreciated something that we strove to implement! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ𓇼
Some assets were made in Blender: e.g. the bike, the postman and the newspaper.
Regarding the newspaper, only its rotation was animated in Blender, but the shadow is a one-frame sprite with a lower alpha and z-index that is projected along the throw direction. The parabolic motion was scripted following the physics equations. To be honest, it took longer than I would like to admit, but I think that my general physics I professor was right: physics is easy, once you've solved a [similar] problem.
The leg movement was made in Blender.
Greate game, I love graphics
Thank you! We really appreciated that you took your time to play our little game o((*^▽^*))o
I loved playing this game to the end! Amazing art style and very good game design.
Thank you DerpiestDude! We can't believe you played this to the end!
This warms our little hearts of programmers and pays off all the effort we put in this :)
Super cool concept! Took me a while to get to 10 newspapers, so would love to see the news top choose sooner if possible, but love the concept of pick your poison.
Driving was a bit hard, would love to have a break or something, but besides that was fun. Super cool art as well. I can't believe how much you fleshed out the map in just a week!
Thank you so much, voxvirus! :D
Yep, you spotted exactly the two things we're also unsure about. The progression is a bit slow, especially for the first minutes of gameplay (10 newspaper are too many for the first twist of the game). We'll definitely make these milestones easier and quicker after the evaluation period ends.
The second thing was the movement: we know it was quite an hazard. We wanted to reproduce the feeling of riding a bike - slow turns and no instant stops - but not all the experiences work in a videogame. We really needed a good and honest playtester like you in the development phase ;)
Again, thanks a lot for taking time to play our game and having the patience to express your opinions. We're really happy you enjoyed it and you had fun! :D
Of course! And ahhhh that makes sense! I'm excited to see what you do with game if you continue to work on it!
Love pooping newspapers
Ahaha thank you! We're glad you took time to play our game :)
