Really amazing...
yeah, this is going to win presentation for sure.
Haha we couldn't possibly expect to win with so many great entries! Thank you for rooting for us though :)
This is so chaotic, holy crap! If there were a game that would define the theme the best, it would be this game, the situation gets out of control in the blink of an eye. The game was so hard! Nice game, I love your videos by the way!
Thank you! Glad you found it to be so fitting :)
This is a good idea, and with the right execution, it could be entertaining. Unfortunately, in this state, it's not fun to play. The kids seem to behave completely randomly, switching states with no tells. It's hard to see where you are if there are too many kids crying in one area. It can be tough to tell which child you're picking up. It might need extra 'juice' to make everything feel good. The sounds are irritating. It definitely fits the theme.
Noted! Thank you for the feedback and thanks for playing!
No problem!
Wow, these kids hate each other
They don't mean it. Some of them are just a bit aggressive :D
This game is very well made, and I don't think anyone will want to have kids after playing. (haha) I love how some children just decide that they want to be on fire. Fantastic game, as per usual!
Haha the fire is sooo intriguing. Let's play with it... Oops :D
I truly felt out of control while playing this, I felt fine in the beginning but near the end of the day almost everyone was fighting. My final score was -4762 lmao. Despite the chaos this game was surprisingly fun to play because of it's atmosphere and polish. Could use some more balancing but other than that well done!
Wow that must be the lowest score I've seen yet... uh... congratulations? :D
Yeah with a theme like this it almost feels like you can sort of get away with a lack of balancing. For a different context, we'd surely have to balance it differently!
Thank you!
I love the premise, but darn poor Mark! Love the visuals and fitting music. I did find the game quite difficult, but that's prolly the premise with my whopping -1356 high score!
Yeah I'm quite sorry for Mark but he seems to take it fairly well.
Haha your school day must've been an absolute disaster! :D
Waw. The game introduce the "Out of control" theme so smoothly, and so strongly. I love it.
The sound design, visuals and gameplay work together for that goal, that's really nice.
Wew. Thank you!
I was not warned that this is clearly a horror game :D, but brilliantly done as expected super fun and beautiful
Being a teacher can be quite scary if things go out of control! Glad you liked it :)
Hey I think we might have went to the same primary school.
But on a real note, love the graphics and music, the controls are a bit finicky tho, a more magnetic grab mechanism might have been useful.
Haha, cool (perhaps a bit concerning?) to see people's experiences mirrored in this :P
We could certainly have increased the grab radius at some point, yeah.
Can see this games art is done by BTP beutifull gamer and very fun Gaeplay trully Out Of controll
This game is absolutely beautiful XD, I'm pretty sure a couple of the children died :O
I promise, they were all just knocked out o.o
ok, that makes me a feel a little better (just between you an me, I started hiding them afterwards just in case)
Haha oh right you can still pick them up after they're knocked out! Didn't even think of that but that's cool, lol
I like this game. It fits theme perfectly. Art & sound effects were amazing. I don't know how I did it, but I have the best result in first play(900) whene I was just leaning the mechanics. Nice game.
Not a fantastic score but could definitely be way worse! The score can go faaar into the negative :)
Thank you very much for playing and your kind words!
I'm a big fan of your amazing graphic style, it's cute, colorful and unique :D
The theme music was fun to hear. The art was definitely made by Noa. I can guarantee it. :D
Nice Game :)
Yes, Noa's art is really something special! Glad you liked my music :)
I like the sound effects
Thank you so much! I spent nearly the full second day on audio :)
nice job yaen, jonas and noa. pretty fun game, but suffers from a lack of communication to the player on what to do, and the objective.
This. I had no clue whatsoever to do.
I think the goal is to grab kids and toss them when they're speaking?
if you finished a level, it showed you.
oh lol hello harshdev, I didn't think I'd see you here XD.
hey ron.
