How does your game fit the theme?
The town in the game is constantly overrun by earthquakes, with no possibility to predict where the next one will occur. We stuck with the idea of shooting around the houses because this way, the player is not able to have precise control over where the houses exactly go. The pacing of the game is quite fast, you need to react quickly, before the houses have already been turned into flying debris by the unpredictable quaking grounds.

Did your team create the art for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

Did your team create the audio for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

I love the visuals, and the gameplay is definitely one of a kind, 
I did notice that when I wind up and release with the house colliding with rocks on the background the house breaks instantly before launching, not sure if that is by design though. Either way this is a really really well done and great game :D

thank you so much for the feedback! yea, we kind of thought it would be a good idea but in restrospect it kind of feels more annoying than we though it would, so we'll probably take it out after the jam :D

I dig the art style, I really do. Minimalistic, yet pretty and elegant.

I had some fun with the gameplay, though I think, that short amount of time in which houses need to be rescued and them being sooo very fragile makes it a hard one. Very solid, nevertheless :)

Developer(+1)

thank you for the feedback :D also you are absolutely correct about that, the houses break wayyyy to fast ^^

This is so great!!! Super original concept and the execution is really well dont! Love the art! That first move where I accidentally flung a poor house into it's neighbor made me feel so much wonder and panic! Fantastic!

Developer

thank you so much!! this is such a great thing to hear :D

I love this idea! Very original and fun, even tho all of my actions seem to always result in a destroyed house. xz

Developer

A very clever idea - I honestly don't think I've seen/played anything quite like it - and the presentation was excellent.

thank you so much!! this is such a nice thing to hear :D

Very original and well made.  The only feedback i have is i think that the win condition perhaps could be tweaked to make it more interesting but everything else was good. 

Good job!

Developer

thank you so much for the feedback! :D

Most unique setting I came across so far. I do wonder why I lose after having only 6 houses? Does each platform needs at least one house? It felt sudden.

Developer

we kind of decided that you'd have to keep 6 houses standing, otherwise it gets too easy and is no fun anymore, but you are 100% correct we should have mentioned that somewhere :D

Very unique idea, cool art!

Developer

thank you so much for the comment! we are glad you liked it :D

i really like the models + world design! also enjoy how hard it is to not destroy a few of your own houses with the slingshot at the beginning, really adds to the out of control theme :)

Developer

thank you so much for the kind words!

Sehr nettes Spiel.  Die Optik gefällt mir sehr gut und das Gameplay ist auch witzig.

Die Collisionboxes könnten etwas kleiner sein. Ich hatte manchmal das Gefühl, dass meine Häuser zu Unrecht kaputt gegangen sind.

Insgesamt aber ein sehr schönes Spiel. Gut gemacht =)

Developer

Vielen lieben dank für das Feedback :D  wir hatten auch ein bisschen das Gefühl, dass die Häuser frustrierend oft kaputt gehen, aber naja^^ beim nächsten Mal wirds besser :D

Hey, very funny and original, I liked it! At the beginning you have very little space to move the houses, but when there are few it becomes very intense and fun, good job!

Developer

thank you so much for the comment! we are glad you liked it :D

This game makes me go YES!

Developer

thank you so much!!! we're glad you like it :D

I like that it encourages a diversified strategy where you try to spread out the houses as much as possible. The catapult movement is a little unpredictable though. Needs a bit of time before the game over screen shows up (to show the player which building was destroyed), otherwise gameplay was tight, and the amazing sublime 3D modelling work that went into this is really a sight to behold. Great stuff!

Developer

thank you so much for the feedback! we really appreciate it :D
