A hilarious game, that was really fun to play. The mechanic was easy to understand and the music fitted well. Great work ^_^

Submitted

The concept is very cool, and the music very groovy

I love the direction you went with the theme, it's hilarious! It's crazy how complex this game is being a one button game, it's easy to learn but difficult to master.

Developer

Thanks, I was kinda worried that some levels were too harsh, glad you liked it.

Submitted

I love this mechanic! It can get so challenging, but it's just about finding the right angle and getting the timing right. The game itself is super quirky, in a good way, and leans into it. Hilarious stuff. Well done, awesome entry!

Thanks! When I got the original idea I decided to intensify the absurdness to the maximum because well, the main idea is pretty silly :P

Submitted

Probably the funniest one I've seen so far in terms of game idea, and it has a pretty easy to understand but hard to master mechanic behind it. It's pretty good!

Submitted

Very unique and innovate game mechanic. I didn't think it would be fun but it's really good once you get into the behavior.

The humor in it is great, the art fits the game well. I love how the silly males move and have hearts for eyes when they're "on". That's a great way to signal to the user what's happening btw.

I really like this game.

Congrats on an amazing game!

Hahaha, glad you liked it! Yeah, I tried to make the differencies between pheromones activated and deactivated as clear as possible, because even I got confused by it a from time to time.

Submitted

Ha, I loved how silly the premise is! Especially how it's presented through the tutorials. Great work!

Submitted

That's was THE most WTF entry I've seen till this point X) (not in a bad way tho...)

I thought I had seen it all but here, there's a really GREAT take on the theme! The controls are really simple (that's one button lol XD) but the game gets trickier as you go through the levels!

It was really well put together and the backstory behind was really funny X) (that was actually the wtf part). Great job dude! :D

Developer

Hahaha thanks, glad you liked it! I wasn't sure what context give to make the player understand why would they guide a pterodactyl with pheromones, so in the end I just went for the most random story I could think :P

Submitted

The most weird stories somehow end up being the best ones sometime X). That was fun! :D

Submitted

I love the 1 key control style of this game. Great job!

Submitted

I enjoyed every second of the game. The controls are very simple (one key) but the level design is great and made use of everything that's available. There are not a lot of games featuring Pterodactyl, pufferfish, text boxes and time travel at it's core. What more could I ask for?

I'm not sure about other browsers, but Google chrome seems to be flagging the downloaded file as malicious. You might want to find ways to prevent that.

Great job on the jam!

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked it! About the file being flagged as malicious, I think it happens with a lot of Unity games, weird...
