The game has some minor bugs, nothing that bothers too much the gameplay.
Also, I felt like I was in the Madagascar movie!
Lol basically madagascar with reverse motivation.
nice game, i like the interpretation of the theme, would have been nice if the elephant had a special mechanic, too, but it's already a very neat little game. good job
Thanks for playing my game. Glad to know you enjoyed it. Unfortunately i didn't have enough time to complete the elephant but that will change post jam :)
I thought this was a realy wonderful little game! As others have said, the jump was a little hard to predict – the box at the very start was a really nice tutorial, but I couldn't manage to jump on the elephant, which I think was how you get to the button after releasing the elephant from its cage? But that is a nitpick, the game felt really calming and I actually felt a bit clever when I realised you could knock down the mast and jump on the deer to get to different buttons. Great to see that you're still working on it too :)
Thanks for the encouraging words :) Sorry about the clunky movements. I've made some changes so hoping the update will be better.
No need to be sorry, 48 hours is really not much time after all. Look forward to seeing the update at some point! :)
I loved the game , the problem was for me was the rabbit jump in the start , i figured out what was the problem after sometime , and the second was sometimes rabbit glitched out , but with some time i think you can fix this , looking forward to have a finished game on this title :D
Thank you for the genuine feedback. The game had lots of bugs. I'm working on it. Hope to be able to make a better game in update.
This is a really nice idea and a great play on the theme. I struggled a little with the jump on the rabbit, as I couldn't climb that first box, but managed it in the end. I'd love to see where this one goes post-jam. Would love to see more animals and have the whole zoo escaping!
Thanks for the feedback and great to hear you look forward to it. Sorry for the junk controls, i'm fixing it right now and hope that it works out better.
Its a nice puzzle solving game, as a improvement suggestion , i think you could let the player move the camera more freely, and maybe even zoom in and out, but its a cool game idea !
Thank you. I've started working on the camera hope to make things better.
Looks nice, but there is lack of restart button, I definetly needed it :D The puzzles are nice too.
Thanks! glad you found it NOICE. you can press R to restart. Clumsy me forgot to add that in description :(
It took me some time to figure out how to time the rabbit jump right, especially with the awkward camera angle, but overall I enjoyed playing the game and liked the puzzles :)
Thank you for the feedback and glad you enjoyed. really sorry about the jump and display angle. On to fix that. Hope second time will be a charm.
With a bit more time, this could turn out to be a really sweet game! Nice work
thanks for the encouraging words. I'm definitely finishing it. Hope you'll try that again.
Your welcome! I'll keep an eye out for it!
Interesting idea. But I wish the camera was like how it is in the main promotional image. Also, it would be nice to see some more detail like trees and grass. But other than that a good game.
Thanks! Unfortunately due to time constraints couldn't add a proper camera. Will fix that as soon as possible.
Definitely some difficult but interesting approaches to the puzzles. Though unfortunately a locked camera, especially at the weird angle it was at definitely hurt the controls a lot for me but once I got used to it and figured out that the controls are all just flat directions it definitely helped.
I feel like maybe a more zoomed or closely locked to the animals sort of camera might help with that, possibly a toggle? One big thing for me though was it felt like the elephant was relatively useless ability wise. Maybe adding some sort of "pick" up ability could fit? Although that does sort of trivialize a lot of current puzzles in the game so it may not work.
Puzzle wise though it was fun to figure them out and find the different ways they interacted.
thanks for the emmaculate and honest feedback. I'll put more effort and improve the game.
P.S. "interesting" game you have there. will check out soon.
It was really fun, but the camera ruined some of the fun a bit.
Thanks for the feedback. Really sorry about the camera. I'll improve it as soon as i can.
Cool puzzle game! I liked the way the level teaches you how the game works by showing you immediately that you have to jump on things to move forward, the game then proceeds to increase the difficulty of the zoo puzzles all involving jumping on stuff and moving it around. <3
Thanks Chris. Appreciate that. Will check out your game too.
