Simple and well executed game. I feel like it is better played with friends as by yourself it is fairly easy (And I think it was designed that way too!). Good job and good luck!

Thank you for the praise!

At first we focused on designing it so that any player could play with ease at first. But we wanted to ramp up the difficulty later by doing a few tests. Unfortunately, time got the better of us and we coulnd't deliver more difcilty options.

It took us a good while to decide which game we would be making.  But we think the time spent was worth it.

This is cool, Took me a few goes to get the hang of the controls. Neat concept though and it starts to get pretty fast which makes it tense.

Interesting idea, it is hard to go where you would want so it would probably be fun to play in a group

We aimed to make a fun game to play with friends, but we also wanted to let players play solo if they liked.

This game has a great & unique idea! I think it could easily become a huge multiplayer game with some polish. :)

Fun little experience! I took a while to realize what I had to do, but after a while I got myself trying to stay longer and longer  and having fun with it.

Good job!

Reply

The endless nature of the game was born from the intention of offering solo players something to work toward as we couldn`t finish an AI clever enough to challenge the player.

 We are really glad you enjoyed the High Score mechanic!

Fun idea that I'll have to grab some friends to play tomorrow. What would make it more interesting to my was if I had some bumper physics for knocking my opponents into the soap like in Mario Party's Bumper Balls.

We had many ideas on how to spice it up, but since we were a small team we tried to deliver at least the bare mininum. 

We are still deciding if we will expand it, but we will definitely take your suggestion into account! Thanks!

Great concept! The art works well and you have made a lot from a simple game. Impressive creating a multiplayer game for a jam nice job!

Thank you so much for the praise!

We wanted to make a multiplayer game to challenge the ONLY ONE theme, as we thought not many people would do it.

The game's concept is pretty cool! 

I played this in single player mode, and like other comments mention, I found myself standing still most of the time (the difficulty took way too long to ramp up).  I felt I didn't have much to do, except dodge the incoming soap. When I started the game, I thought I would get scored on how many other germs I could save, but apparently, they were just there as decoration. It'd be really cool if you had abilities/powerups to herd them around and save them!

I feel that with some changes, this game could become really fun. Cheers!

Thanks for the tips! Since this was the first Game Jam that we completed a game, we tried to keep it as simple as possible, just so we could deliver a complete product. We might come back to this game later to add those changes.

I really liked the core concept of this game. Would love to see how this mechanic could be incorporated into other types of games as well. 

I ended up just standing still most of the time but that's just good rng!

We actually got the inspiration to this mechanic from a raid boss mechanic from Final Fantasy XIV and visualized a game around it. 

We considered standing still as something to work against, but time contraints got the better of us.

Thank you for the feedback!

During development, the arrow visibility issue actually came about. But it got postponed until there was no more time to do it. Sorry for that. 

We will strive to improve gameplay in future games and in this one if we expand it in the future.
