This game is my absolute favorite for the obvious but unique gameplay as a marionette.
I feel the game is far too limited as just a autoscroller platformer. I wish you would have expanded upon the style of a marionette play. Make it more RolePlay focused. Like make big gestures to convince a crowd of people, bow down before the king, swing your sword to slay the dragon! etc.
The last thing I might want to suggest is to try experimenting if this game could also work for mobile/IPads. And see if your game could work on those markets.
A really fun and quick arcade experience. The presentation is fantastic with lots of polish! The audience dialogue is a really nice touch.
Really nice job in this game. Very charming too. Controlling the character by the strings is very good
I thank you for playing my game. And I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the controls.
This is so charming! My favorite jam game so far! I got a rating of 88
Thank you! And great rating! I appreciate you playing my game.
EXCELLENT one of the best games i have seen so far for the jam
Thank you! That is some high praise. ^_^
Great mechanic, was fun just to watch the lil guy dancing around! Limbs as an indicator of health is a great idea, if a little tragic haha.
Was there anything you originally had in the design that you didn't get time to implement?
Thank you! I appreciate you playing my game.
To answer your question: yes. I would've liked to implement an actual story with narration and maybe even a boss battle. Aside from that, some other aesthetic changes, like animating the audience and adding more enemy variety.
I love how the loose limbs indicate your health. Some collectables would make it more engaging as you avoid enemies tho. Good job on the physics of the string and the controls are really responsive!
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. I shall rate your game too.
Very nice idea, one thing I think would make this feel a lot better, is to add more sound effects to action on the scene, gameplay can benefit from audio feedback. Besides that, it is very good, responsive and glitchless.
Thanks for the feedback! I went ahead and rated your entry. :)
