How does your game fit the theme?
The game's a minigame collection where you play as an animal. If you lose a minigame, then you die or "meet your end". But, you can then reincarnate as a completely different animal with completely different minigames. So your end is a new beginning, and the new beginning is a new set of minigames.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all the code (albeit with another person helping me playtest) and assets, with two exceptions.

1: A hooting owl noise. That sound was uncredited in the actual game, but you can find it here.

2: The font. That beauty was made by Somepx and is called Futile Pro!

OMG this is soo fun lol. Very quick and entertaining from the start til the end. I love how he shoot the dog like a basketball into trash.  Regarding the Theme, I couldn't make sense. other than that Game Design is solid. It is fun, exciting on what to come next. It absolutely deliver those things.


I saw how you review other games and you are giving a really good feedback, do you mind if you can review my game as well please? I appreciate it.

Developer

Glad you had a fun time! 🧡

I probably rambled a bit during the "how your game fits the theme" so here's a short version.

Basically, losing a minigame and dying ends the current game you're playing, but you can click reincarnate to play again, only you'll be given a new creature and a new set of minigames at the beginning. That's basically how the game ties with the theme in short, human-length words.

I'll definitely see if I can get around to reviewing your game!

That is a really fun game! I was laughing at some losing screens! Why are you treating the dog poorly? xD

Developer

Thanks for the comment! 🧡

I'm happy to hear that you found the game fun and that you found the game funny!

We do not talk about what the dog has done...its actions are unspeakable and irredeemable. 👁️

Very nice game. Had a lot of fun playing it! Maybe add some more time for reading the introduction of each mini game. Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the comment! I probably could've added more time for the instructions, but it was a fine line between making the instructions readable and making the instructions non-intrusive on the actual game.

So glad you found my game fun! 🧡

Twisted! :-) Nice one, really funny, great sound, nice range of mini games, great reincarnation fruit machine! How did you make the 8-bit sounds?

Developer (2 edits)

Thanks so much for your comment! 🧡

The 8-bit sounds were made using a program called RFXGen. I just generated sounds and adjusted the sliders to my liking.

The actual 8-bit music was made in Reaper using a plugin called Magical 8bit Plug!
