How does your game fit the theme?

Hilarious and beautiful art, I’m super impressed you put that all together during the jam. The custom cursor and the mouse-over sound effects for the buttons made me laugh out loud. Soundtrack is perfect for the game.

I must admit I didn’t totally figure out how best to fling my owner at things, but I tried spinning, and that seemed to be a good trick. I managed to get the camera stuck in one of the sets of buildings for a bit, but then I launched a car halfway down the block so all was forgiven :D

an absolute blast, I love the concept and the execution. no idea how you managed to keep the camera that smooth with all the spinning shenanigans on screen!

my only critiques would be that I'd like more to destroy 😅 and a bar for health would've been easier to see than a number.

10/10, the only game I've ever played where the highest DPI setting is the best

Love the concept! It was a bit laggy for me, not sure why. Overall great work tho :)

Submitted

ParisDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Thank you so much for playing sorry that it was a bit laggy for you we did make sure to optimize our 3D meshes but because it’s a game jam the performance isn’t amazing on some devices and there’s lots of ways we can improve that so thank you for your feedback! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ ♡

I love how dorky this game is. The soundtrack really fits, a bit loud tho.

Im glad you like it!! Sorry about the sound, Mute button worked in engine and not in build :/ we didn't have time to implement a proper options menu 🙈

ParisDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks so much for checking out our silly game! sorry about the audio being too loud and not having a way to adjust it in-game we will get that fixed post-jam! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ ♡

Thanks! haha yes that’s very true I feel like it can fit both into “Out Of Control” & “Joined Together” looking back at past themes, that was not intentional though!
