I want to know what this game is taking because I want some. Super goofy and I am all here for that was a fun game. Wacky.
This game is on at least four drugs. Which ones? I don't know.
Great job.
I cobbled most of the game together in one 14 hour stretch on the second day of the jam. No comment on the drugs.
The mechanics is fun to play with, you did a nice work.
I had a hard time getting into it, as the rhythm is a bit uneven. You barely play when you discover the controls, when suddenly you have a boss fight with new controls.
You did a nice job building a cohesive mood through the art, the sound design and the writing.
Thank you! I should add, there was no planning at all for this game. I simply just added whatever I thought made sense, and then usually never changed it from its first iteration. All of the art was made when needed, and never changed. Same with the controls, and all mechanics. I instead focused on tweaking the the difficulty of the boss fight, so next time I'll try changing the introduction to new mechanics, and avoid single sentence tutorials.
Love the humorous writing! I also dig the art style a lot, it's messy, and I mean that in the best way possible. Great experience!
Love the story it's just hilarious.
Incredibly fun and whimsical game! I'm super impressed with how much you managed to make within the time limit, good job!
That was a ride! The goofy concept is hilarious, but it's true that the rat fight with the jetpack is kinda hard, I couldn't get used to the new controls.
Thanks for the feedback! Next jam we'll probably either go for a more in depth tutorial for control changes, try keep it more similar to the original, or justbnot change them at all.
BIG ARMS! ^_^
Amazing style, animations, rat, music choice, dialogue, tools!
Chef's kiss! Perfect jam fun!
Thanks for playing! Glad to hear that you found this game fun to play.
pretty comedic game, very nice.
Nice to hear that you enjoyed our slightly goofy approach to this Game Jam!
What a goofy game, the jank made it funnier, and the personalities of the characters were super fun. I think this sort of a game shouldn't have health though, the fight against the mouse/rat was hard to control, and restarting a couple times was a bit frustrating because I didn't have time to adapt to the new jank controls haha.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. We took inspiration from hoe older nintendo DS games would go about it. And thank you for the feedback on the boss fight. We'll definitely focus on trying to make the game less frustrating. Originally you were supposed to have 6 hearts but a playtester claimed it was too easy.
Could be a skill issue on my part!
Loved the dialogue and how much personality you were able to give the characters! I had a blast.
Glad you enjoyed! If you have any further feedback please reply!
This game is hilarious. I love how janky it is without ever really feeling unfair or difficult -- the game follows its own logic, it's just on you to see if you can keep up with them. The story and dialogue was extremely entertaining, it's well-drawn... mad geniuses made this. Bravo
Thanks! We actually just opted to go with the flow for the story, since I realised that it worked best for a goofy game like this. Unexplainable things just happen. I'm also very glad you enjoyed the art, it was actually my first time drawing like that for a game.
Super funny dialog and animations, unbelievably fun to whack objects and cause explosions. Laughed audibly when the rat showed up (but can't beat his boss fight!). Loved it!
Thanks a lot! Glad that you enjoyed the slightly goofy aspect of the game!
