Great art style and gameplay.
The objective was a little unclear at first but I figured it out later on.
Nice Game!
thanks, the struggling IS the game 😂
Ahh! Playing this game felt like eating candy. The feedback was really satisfying. I didn't read the instructions, so I was a little confused at first as to what the objective was, but I got the hang of it. Great little game. Perhaps I didn't get far enough, but I had a hard time figuring out how exactly it related to the theme.
The more you go the harder it is, after bouncing a couple of times they start blinking and then blow out.
I love how you described, I was trying to evoke a hungry hungry hyppos feels
loved the pixel art and animation. "joyful" !
Thanks. It brought me Joy to make it 😊
I love how you went all out on the art style with music to match. Great job.
thanks levi. I m glad you find the music coherente with the art. It was more the expression of a feeling than a mature idea.
Very nice and cute graphics, gameplay is fun. It's nice to see more pico8 games on the jam. I got to level 20. At some point I didn't know why I wasn't completing the level, until I realize the little guys exploded over time, at that point I only let them stay in the paint and released them once I knew I had them all. also I was hoping I could combine colors to make things more interesting. Anyways, very cool concept!
thanks for playing, it s nice that the pico 8 community is present.
What do you mean combining? Do you mean New colors? Beige, purple, Orange?
Yeah, I mean, for example placing a guy in red then yellow to make him orange.

Very decently done with some good style! Not sure why they all want to get dipped in paint exactly, but it did become very anarchistic towards higher levels! Good work! :)
there was supposed to be a monster on later level that only wanted to eat some colors. But that s as far as I could get in 48 hours. Thanks for playing, specially since no many people reach the higher levels, did you get medals?
at first I didn't realize what to do b/c I didn't read the instructions but once I understood what to do it was pretty fun especially when I realized I can drop the guys from high above into the paint.
I made it to level 15 or so but it seemed like it wasn't that difficult. I dunno if the levels ever stop or you just see how far you can get. I had fun playing
Each level the timer runs faster and a couple of other tweaks.
Thanks for playing. I m glad you find out how to play it, think that the instructions are my weakest point
Very fun and the visuals were great! I did encounter a bug where I could not drag any of the characters but I'm not sure how it happened. It would also be nice to see a bit more variety since it did get less interesting after about 10 mins of playtime. However, I think that this simplistic nature would also make it a really good mobile game. Overall, great work and I hope you keep working on the game!
thanks for playing, i haven’t seen that bug but another guy mentioned too, was it in higher level?
Wow, simple but very fun! well done!
thanks, I hope you had a good time
Very, very good presentation, wish there was a bit more variation on the gameplay though, besides just put the person in and then take the person out.
thank you very much. That s as far as o got in 48 hours but I ll try to reiterate in the design when the submissions unlock
Great presentation and sound! I wish there was something else for me to do besides putting them in paint and then taking them out, maybe something that makes their placement on the ground more significant. Well done!
thanks, nice suggestion, I really ran out of idead at 3 am :-p
nice polish and very cool style!
i m glad you liked it 😀
The art is amazing! Very cute and fun to play with! Congratulations!
i'm glad you have a good time. Thank you :)
The art, animation, gameplay, it's all so well done! And in 48 hours? Well done! Also you could kinda leave the people in the paint bucket so they don't die, then let them out last minute when you have all the colors.
thanks, although i feel like cheating not sleeping from saturday to sunday.
I'm still undecided if i want them to explode after a while in the bucket, what do you think?
Sure, that will get rid of that problem, but maybe also telegraph it when it's about to explode too, I'm sure you'll do it anyways just tellin so my reply wouldn't be too short ^^
thanks. Will look into it
I don't know if it was intentional but I played it on my phone and it works very well with touch controls! The game play is smooth and the little dudes are cute as heck! Great job :)
Thanks :) the reason i did this game was to test pico-8 on phones, there's still some model where it isn't working but i think i'm covering the majority of brands.
This game is adorable, I love the chatter that comes from all the little people! I agree with some of the other comments where it was a little unclear on what the goal was (was it good that everyone dies at the end of the level? things like that). But as for the visuals and interaction, everything was super polished and easy to use. Great work!
thanks! I still suck at tutorials, but I m getting better.
Actually you have to dip the people to turn it to the color requested (in the lower right corner). I’ll try to clear things up once the jam is over and I’m able to update. Also, the guys at the end of the level are supposed to blow off but due to a bug on my part isn’t showing, at least you realize they where dying. 🥰
Animations are top notch, the game could have been explained better. Feeling of play is really cool, everything just works
thanks for playing, i had a hard time with the explanations, will make them intelligible on the update after the jam.
I played something like 13 levels, I didn't really get how them running around affected your ability to play the game? Kinda had to guess what I was supposed to do, although I think(?) I figured it out? The medal at level 10 was noice. Music and sound effects were enjoyable and fitting and the animation was extremely on point.
Thank you very much. I needed that input.
fun casual
