The idea is a lot of fun! I liked the pixel art too. Very good work!
Good concept. The activities could have had better execution. The painting didn't feel useful as it initially rises anger quite a lot and then when you finish painting, it goes back to the anger level you started with pretty much. The coffee feels overpowered as it is available so often and lowers anger a lot. The television is a good idea but could use a bit more variety. The game has potential.
Played this on my bf's suggestion. Didn't regret it.
The idea is interesting, it is quite well done, but I felt like I was doing nothing more than merely slowing the anger's inevitable rise, and the 10-15 seconds of "rage" could probably be shorter, but overall the experience was pretty fun, I'd like to see more of it, nice work!
Nice job team !that is a cool concept !
This was a really nice game and a cool twist on the theme. I enjoy playing the games that don't put the theme in the mechanic, but rather the story or the themes. It's really great to see something like this and the painting was really nice and relaxing. I laughed quite a bit when I saw the TV show that you get angry at. Great job!
Cool concept. The art is really well done.
Really nice idea! I hope you continue this and add more stuff to calm my anger metre!
Damn, I do love painting like that for some reason. So soothing. These types of "artsy" games generally aren't my cup of tea, but you definitely did a great job of conveying the idea you were trying to get across in a very concise manor. The best of this type of game that I've seen all day. Great job.
Visually, this game was lovely and I thought the sound worked really well with what was there.
As far as the gameplay is concerned, I feel like this game could have been a commentary on the nature of modern life, but it doesn't quite get there. It demonstrates how we basically just fill our lives with repeatable, oftentimes meaningless tasks that keep us momentarily content, but leaves out the major stressors of modern life like work and money. If you added a bit more, I could see this being an interesting take, but as it is, it feels lacking.
Good job, though, and I hope you keep making games!
Thank you for the advice!
While the presentation was very well done, I feel the rest of the game doesn't have much to stand on. The gameplay is lacking depth, especially when you can paint for 2 seconds, leave, and then drink the coffee that has instantly reappeared. There aren't clear goals or a story either, you just drink coffee until the end of time. I do like the premise of a man losing control due to anger though, and would like to see you give another shot at it!
Overall, could use some work, but I believe in you!
Loved the art, nice job!! :)
Nice game! Keep creating games!
Going with anger management for the setting is quite challenging, but I feel the execution is not there unfortunatly . We don't understand why the character is angry and how drinking coffee, painting or watching tv solve that. Especially if doing nothing make you angry ?
However the art is charming, sfx are well done and integrated. There was no bug encounter, so your code was good. Not sure if the tutorial is well placed, but at least instruction was in the game. Found it on instinct, not sure that would be the case for everyone (especially non-gamer).
Overall good job ! I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but yeah here is my review !
Thank you for the detailed review!
PAINT!
The painting minigame was nice and calming! I would have liked to see some more minigames. Great job!
Very entertaining and relaxing idea, with well executed mechanics and good visuals. Well done.
The painting mechanic was very relaxing. Overall the game felt like it could have had a stronger objective and possibly one or two more mechanics, but given the time restrictions (and the fact you made the graphics), I can understand why you didn't. Overall a neat demo.
Interesting concept. I quite liked the painting task, felt very relaxing
Fun idea! The look of the game was pretty simple and maybe I would've liked a little more audio. Gameplay wise I didn't really feel a sense of "progression" in the game so it made the gameplay feel a little pointless. A little more refinement and this could be a fun game!
