I love it, 10/10, amazing, perfectly challenging and actually quite tense, will be playing more :)
This was good fun. Caught myself chanting "where's a pig, where's a pig, where's a pig!" after spinning around and not seeing one right off the bat.
I found it a bit difficult to tell where I had to land for it to be 'valid', a few close attempts felt like they should have worked but didn't, but the timer was lenient enough to give a few attempts in a row.
The leniency of the animal hitboxes was something we tweaked throughout development, especially for the ant. If this wasn't our first game with Unreal, we definitely would've had time to tweak them a bit more. Ultimately, we decided top stop where we did due to time and not wanting to make the game too easy. I'm glad that timer was generous enough to compensate for this - that was another mechanic we spent some time dialing in. Thank you so much for playing!
Played this for much longer than I expected too- and there is much more to find. I was pleasantly surprised by small details that I noticed, and also love the soundtrack and how it progresses.
High Score: 285235
Town musicians of Bremen the game :). Very fun for such a simple concept. Keep it up!
Wow! I had no idea Town musicians of Bremen existed and never heard the story before. Subconsciously manifesting a German fairy-tale was not something I expected to do during a game jam. We even programmed in dynamic music where each animal adds an instrument to the track and is "a musician." Had we heard the story before, we would have definitely made some substitutions for the animal roster. Thank you so much for playing!
