Went from: "Aw, I will take care of my pet rock" when clicking the cover image to "Okay, I'm going to carefully drive with my rock and avoid traffic" when reading the description to "Crash all the busses!!!". Not at all what I expected when first clicking on the game, but it was a lot of fun! Well done! :D
Just look at that face - the desire for chaos in the eyes, you should have known xD
Unexpected fun is always great - have a nice day!
Also if you want a cute game you just need to play your own. The aesthetic, both visually and acoustically is great! I look forward to playing it with the brewing implemented too.
This was entertaining! It had me laughing. Very fun and silly to crash and mess around on the street. I even caught some air a few times! and then ran off the world and fell to the infinite abyss of blue.
Critical success! I would like to claim all credit for the "features" that you encountered, they were all planned from the start and not broken at all..... I'm so pleased you were able to have fun
despitewith the bugs - great to hear it got you laughing.TetherGeist is awesome - It was one of the first games that caught my eye when playing some submissions after the jam. The art, music and the way it plays are all great. I need to play through the full thing at some point.
It's obviousely unfinished even by the jam standarts, but it's kind of funny.
Couldn't buy any polish - DIY store had been destroyed by a high speed boulder.
The goo physics in Googun were pretty fun to play with too - I had fun completing it.
Great work and effort on this one.
It's absolutely a "wreck" but I mean that in the best way possible. It's so fun to just ram your rock all over creation and cause massive destruction, I'd suggest you keep working on this and change the whole premise to just causing as much chaos as possible with your "chained Pet Rock" because that is the most enjoyable part, and I can enjoy it even with the bugs and glitches!
Great effort, great job!
Thanks for the feedback - we are continuing to develop the game to make it more playable while maintaining the chaos. The health system is going to be tied to the destruction you cause so it will absolutely be a key part of the game play moving forward.
Glad to know you had fun!
I have played some Gooman too. It is a great little puzzle game - I love the sounds the goobs make xD
(Also I played the game before ratings ended - Just haven't got round to saying hi to people who left comments)
The physics are quite unstable on this one, specially the rock flopping onward and backward. Most of the time I lost notion of were the rock was, would be nice to have some sort of rope or indicator.
Nevertheless, it was a fun experience. Reminds me of those "ragdoll" flash games. The art, while simplistic, was good and colorful. And +1 for the submission description, made me laught.
Good job!
....yeah, a rope was planned but we didn't have time to implement it. Glad to know you had fun with the derpy physics!
Good idea, I had a lot of fun with the physics and I managed to get off the map haha, I think that with a little more things that you can interact with it would be much more fun than it already is, great game :D
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it! (we would have had more things but we ran out of time, still pleased with what we made though!)
Fun little "sim" where there's not really any goal, but you get to just have fun with the physics. Interesting idea!
There was supposed to be some more gameplay but we ran out of time. Thanks for the feedback though! I'm glad that everyone has still enjoyed the game even in its simple state!
This game has so many glitches but is on my top list from this jam because it is so fun. I think the glitches make the game better. And watching the buses flying around was very funny. There was one glitch that was not as fun though: you could jump over to the other side of the freeway. So maybe add some busses over there too or something. But overall, a really good game.
Wow thanks for the high praise! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The main reason for all the bugs is that the 1.0 version for the jam was built 5 minutes before 7pm so we had no time to playtest the new changes (this was because a new script that was supposed to randomise car models ended up breaking everything so we had to revert changes which took a while to implement, therefore not allowing time for bug fixes). I think the main problem was simply the fact that this is mine and my brothers first 48 hour game jam but we've had a ton of fun making it! After the voting period is over we'll release an update with the main game breaking bugs fixed and a few extra features, so feel free to play that when that releases!
Yeah, this is my first game jam too. There are defiantly a lot of things to learn from it but I am looking forward to the next one. And I too was having issues with running out of time. I think I procrastinate for some stuff for too long.
I've started playing your game and it's really interesting and fun! I've bookmarked it so I can come back to it tomorrow to finish and rate it as it's almost 3am in the UK and I should probably sleep.
Cool! Let me know what you think of it.
Looks very cool, but it seems there's no goal. But crushing into buses was fun
Yeah that was due to us running out of time. We had a goal planned where you'd gain points from smashing the boulder into cars, and lose lives when crashing your car. Thanks for the feedback! (We are adding to the game so it will be updated once the voting period is over)
I don't understand but I think I like it
I don't understand but I think I like it
I don't understand but I think I like it
i am so confused but i love it.
Hahaha I think this comment sums up the game perfectly! Thanks for the feedback!
haha the idea is hilarious
Thanks!
This is really fun in its own way, very special game indeed :)
Thanks!
I love how simple the game is, while still being fun! I like how you can just ram into trucks and send them flying, super great idea
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!
Simple and very funny! Making the car fly around hitting the side of the road is quite entertaining
In that case I'll show you one of the bugs that happened during testing that we found funny!
Funny game!
Thanks!
There is currently an issue with the camera that isn't a problem in Unity. It's broken in the build for some reason and didn't have time to fix it.
Turns out I just forgot to change the viewport settings in the itch.io submission page in my rush to get it submitted!
