Great work! I really liked the tyre swinging mechanic.
Nice game! my friend couldn't stop launghing and said it was the funniest thing they've ever seen. I've really enjoyed it.
haha! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Very creative! I did not expect a Lakitu simulator in this Jam but I'm glad there was one.
Nice game
Nice Work! I would like the bar in the mini game to react more direct - it feels very floaty ...but I love the slingshot ability to traverse quickly
Amazing entry!! Right on point with the theme! congrats
This game is very well done and original, the mini game to repair cars are bit hard for me but i'll just say it's a skill issue, good job on this game mate !
Check out our game Bad Guy Routine if you got time !
Totally won the game when I figured out you can just hook up to the cars! I really enjoyed this - it is a really creative entry to the jam. :)
Instructions unclear: blew up every car in the race.
Seriously though, nice presentation. I couldn't figure out how to fish the cars
Edit: Replayed it and like the concept and gameplay. Difficulty is too high at the start because it is hard to manage every vehicle. Once there is one or two left, it becomes more managable. GG
Haha, thanks for playing!
You can fish the cars by raising and lowering the bronze bar with LMB, try and keep the moving tire on top of your bar until you fill up the meter on the left!
That's a cool idea! Very nicely handled. And the music is great. What's missing is a restart button.
Congratulation for your game! Very cool concept. Not easy to save everyone but I tried and improved myself at each new game! The main music is ultra catchy, I love it! 😁
Thank you for the kind comment on the music!!!
Very nice game! Had a TON of fun playing it!
I had some trouble understanding how it works at first but I think I figured it out after dying two times! :D
I liked the graphics and music, very fitting for the game!
In the end I just played with one car left and grabbed onto it which was real fun bcs I didn't have to follow it manually! But I don't know if it was gamebreaking, bcs the car didn't get off the tracks anymore!
Also the endscreen said I saved 3 cars, but I didn't so somethings off there!
But it was really fun, great game!
And also thanks again for your comment on our game!
I am glad you enjoyed the Music and aesthetic! Thanks for the feedback as well
Actually very enjoyable! Though the gameplay gets a bit repetetive (maybe a couple minigames instead of just the 1). Grappling all over the place was very satisfying.
Thanks for the feedback and good idea. That could help it out.
I got a 569 score (is that terrible? 😅)
The fishing mechanic was a bit hard for me to understand at first, but once I got it and understood that I could propel myself using the tires on the ground, the game became very satisfying and addictive!😀
Great job!
Great game Idea! XD
I love it! Definitely a unique take on a racing game. Never thought about playing as the lakitas but somehow you made that really fun in and of itself. The only thing I would say is that it would have been nice to have a dash or a slightly higher movement speed because it was pretty hard to keep up with the racers. Great game all around!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! If you missed it, you can actually perform a dash by hooking onto the spare tires throughout the map! You can also hook onto moving cars to speed along behind them! I wish I had time for a full tutorial.
Ooo, I did miss that. I was wondering what the tires were for. That would help a fair amount then, I'll have to try it again just to mess around with that too.
Hey guys, this is my completely justified and totally not joke review of Lakitu Simulator 2023. The racers all thanked me. This would never happen, as Lakitu is never thanked. Very unrealistic, 0/10.
Jokes aside, this game was very fun and I could play this for way longer than I probably should if I let myself. GG
You're right, should've made some angry sounds haha. That would be cool to add as a random chance event
Haha I accidentally grappled onto one of the cars and drifting behind it was so much fun I did it for a whole lap! Really enjoyed the gameplay, definitely laughed when the stardew valley fishing mechanic popped up! Great take on the theme and grappling around was very satisfying
Haha! Sweet! The best way to get around
omg yessss I was hoping someone would do something like this! It's almost like a fishing game but you're fishing the dumb racers out of their doom, I love it.
The gameplay is solid and the art is adorable and charming, what's not to like? Very good job, I enjoy it a lot!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Aw man. This gave me another idea for this theme. You have to be lakitu as the 3rd person camera and keep mario in shot to win. Good one.
That's a really good idea! I wonder if anyone else did that
