I'm impressed by how polished this is. The gamepad controls worked well. It seems like it would be tough to use the keyboard. The attacks should maybe be telegraphed more, but overall it's a good effort.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback ! We had planned an attack animation for the painter but at the end, it was cut during the development time... So maybe in a post-jam update !

Really well done, it feels very polished. I had to laugh on the "finally awake" start, hope this was intentional :D

Gameplaywise, i loved the controls, being slightly out of control when cleaning. Felt really good overall, with a challenge in optimizing - few games accomplish that i think. The setting is also cool, just makes sense. The one hitbox announcement (triangle in one direction) is a bit short for me. But the effects were very good, the on-the-head was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one - again appropriately challenging. 

Awesome :)

Developer

Ahaha it's not even intentional (maybe my subconscious mind made me write it...). Thanks for your feedback, I'll look into the hitboxes, it's better when they are in player-side.

Wow, that's a good game you got there, really love the art style!

Gameplay is lacking, but your artistic vision isn't, clearly an inspired work, I like this.

The art is really polished, colorful and all, I like that !

Good job !

Submitted(+1)

a really cool game! great feedback, well polished and nice sound design. The game is also insanely pretty! my only suggestion would be to make it possible to clean while clicking because controling WASD while pressing E feels kinda weird, but aside from that i really, really liked the game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! Yeah the controls need rework, the space bar or a click is a much better choice you're right!

Submitted(+1)

Loved it, the art style and the effects are awesome. Great work!

Submitted(+1)

This is very well made, not the most original game-play but It does give the boss fight mechanic a new spin that makes up for it. The presentation is as mentioned by other superb and the assets are really appealing, could feature in a released title. ! Really good job, genuinely impressed !

Submitted(+1)

Excellent art design. Expected for an art game i suppose haha! Really nice concept - if i had to be picky i would say there may have been too much out of control - there were too many layers of out of control on top of each other and i was enjoying just cleaning paint! 

Developer

Thank you very much ! Maybe we can add like a zen mode for the ones who love to clean !

Cool game, I love the art <3

Submitted(+2)

Wow nice presentation! It's so chaotic! I would like that the difficulty would increase over time, i found it really hard at the start. Nice work to the team!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind words :) Yeah the game really needs a overall balance, making things start slowly for a frenetic end !

Submitted(+2)

Very unique and defined stylistic choices, overall is a very nice experience, good job.

The art sytle reminds me of untitled goose game, I LOVE IT! and the game reminds me of A hat in times Bosses, Its like a combination of alot of amazing games, GOOD JOB!

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! They are indeed amazing games ! :rake in the lake:

It is really one of the best games I played in the jam!

Submitted(+2)

Nice and clear atrstyle. I really liked the idea that you move when you clean, so you sometimes must decide between cleaning the room or dodging splashes of paint.

Developer

Thanks ! I am glad you felt that way with the controls ! :D

Submitted(+1)

This game makes me go YES!

Submitted(+1)

love how out of control it gets with the paint and how the screen goes upside down!

Submitted(+2)

I really loved this game, the art, music and general atmosphere combined pretty well, also having less vision and inverted controlls made it a wonderful challenge, and a good implementation of the theme, although I miss seeing the 6543$ sure it was an awesome piece of art, but not as much as this game.

Developer

Thank you ! :) Maybe I can get the Painter to send you the painting... 

Submitted(+2)

Love the aesthetic on this one, and all the drawbacks of receiving in the face what is probably lead-based paint. It looks life a day in the life of someone who worked on the set of "Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross.

Submitted(+1)

This is a wonderfully original take on the theme. I like how you managed to keep mopping things up interesting with the control reverses and the different paint splattering patterns!

I wonder if the player should need to hold down E to clean. It seems like he's a bit harder to control when he does, which I like, but it's not very pronounced, and I wonder if it should either be a big contrast in movement, or just have him always cleaning. Regardless, great job, you got a solid rating from me!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words !

The idea was to create two movement mode, one to clean that is harder to control and one that is easier. So you need to alternate between them (cancel the cleaning to make a quick full turn...). But this idea fails in the end, and players only use the cleaning mode so you're right about the contrast that needs to be bigger !

Submitted

Totally! I like the idea of the contrast, I think it adds a nice layer to the player's behavior.

Submitted(+2)

Great looking game! Feels like a homely little art studio.

Just to let you know, first time I played, I managed to end up back in the menu? (by clicking in the centre of the screen), and it didn't show me what controls to press until I restarted the game. I think having Q/R/Spacebar as well would be good keys to listen for, E felt like an odd choice.

Developer

Thanks for the feedbacks, I will look into this bug 🐛

Yeah you're right about the controls, we were playing with a controller during the jam and totally forgot about the keybord controls until the very end...

Submitted

I feel your pain! I have to remind myself to do audio every jam :X
