This seems like a nice, well-polished game for a 48 hour jam, with good gameplay, art, and music. I think it fits the theme of the jam very well, too.

Pancakes are better then waffles :(    Anyway I liked the game idea very much. Maybe make the arena a bit larger, so that the player has more time to react to an enemie. The graphics looked nice and I had a great time playing the game.

Good job!

Clever and challenging! I wasn't very great at it, honestly, but had fun trying to improve. Enjoyed the simplicity of the mechanic. +1 for waffles.

That was pretty hard! I got to 200 points after a few tries. Tripping enemies was pretty fun, but I kinda wish there was more room to do so since the blue spiders and green mushrooms tended to stick to walls. The art gave the characters personality and the music was alright. Not sure if waffles are greater than pancakes though.

If you want to make and argument for the versatility of pancakes due to their ability to create things like crepes I think that's fair.

This is cute! I like to trip my enemies xD

Sorry I couldn't play your game because I didn't accept the license agreement, I don't have a clear opinion if waffles are actually better / greater than pancakes :(


Joke aside, interesting concept for the game making the enemies trip and killing them this way! Really cool. Not sure if anyone brought it up or if you know, but I got a fatal error when an enemy hit my green character (Variable greenish.trip_timer(100005, -2147483648) not set before reading it. at gml_Object_greenish_Step_0) just in case you want to look into it.

Really cool concept and a lot of fun! Very original idea as well, good job on this game!

Fun little game, it could be improved a little bit though.

I think the main problem is how long it takes to kill an enemy, having to basically wait with the rope on him isn't that fun, i think if you one shoted every enemy it would probably be more enjoyable. And since you're making the trip, maybe do something like trip them and then having to step on them to really finish them otherwise they get back up. 

The enemy AI is also a bit clunky but tbh my game suffer the same problem, it's really hard to do a good enemy AI in under 48hrs :)

The graphics are very simple but honestly it has a little charm to it.

Overall a fun little game, hope this can help you improve the game :)

Surprisingly fun! The art was on point and the concept was easy to grasp. I can’t wait to cooperate with a friend to trip enemies.

Well done!

Surprisingly difficult game with a neat concept executed perfectly.

Submitted(+1)

Fun concept and neat execution. I did crash the game once with a "Variable greenish.trip_timer(Lots of numbers, lots of numbers) not set before reading it. at gml_Object_greenish_Step_0",  by tripping an enemy before it had spawned, but other than that, works well.

It also has the thing where running diagonally is faster than running cardinally. Combined with the arena, I believe that the strategy would be to place each bloak in opposite corners, controlling the bloak on the side the enemy spawns in, running diagonally around the enemy, and defeating them before another spawns. This is much easier said than done.

All in all, Great Work! I could see someone getting very good at playing this.

High Score: 250

Love the art style and sound design! I especially love how the red guy face plants when you trip him XD. And those spider guys are tough! Fun little game!

Great concept! I could imagine this having a good multiplayer mode too.

Developer

I agree with the multiplayer mode thing. I thought about having one after the 48 hours. I still want to do some updates some point after the jam and I'm probably going to add a multiplayer mode then.

Oh this is a nice game! Music and art are nice too.  You must really like waffles.

Developer

I fancy myself  a waffle man indeed.

The game is beautiful! The license agreement gave our team a great chuckle, overall a very fun polished and adorable experience!

Developer
