very cool game, I love the cutscenes and the humor used in the game, the mechanic is a little bit frustrating but I really enjoied the game

Submitted

Freddy shrunk the mad scientist to the size of a molecule. That's What I Call Victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But you used the word mad from Alimad. 

I totally liked the mechanic. But was it intentional? The gun was so powerful but by just inverting it's mode every click actually limits the player to his skill. 

Interesting cut scene, sounds too high. The game itself was frustrating in how the drones kill the player, could not get even the first mountains trial of a lot of spikes. Controls did not feel good, the jumping up the mountain felt tedious, though there was interesting try with the momentum with the character.

Developer

Yo! Ya gotta use the gun to move around 😅 TRY LEFT CLICKING! The movement is meant to be horrible lol.

Also what do you mean cut scenes were too high? Like drunk? Or high pitched? 

I'll have to try again then! 

Sound volume on the cut scene ;)

Epic cutscene, the funniest game. but...unfinished yep. The music loop too repetitive I wasnt sure how to use the game, it just seemed to kill me more often than not, didnt seem to hit the enemies. If you can explain about how to play it, I can come back to the game and try again.

Developer

THank you for your feedback!

Yeah so you have this gun that you are supposed to use to move around! Try left clicking instead of moving around.

I spent 10 seconds making the music, I was literally scrambling to finish, it was intense. School started the same time the game jam started lol.

So basically when the gun shoots a grow shot, mass leaves the gun, causing the player to take knockback.
But when it's shooting a shrink shot, the mass goes back into the gun, causing the player to lurch in the direction of the shot.
That's the idea anyway, It's obviously not a finished game :') I could have added a bit of explainer text.

THanks for playing!11

Good job Datapotato!

Submitted

what a cool game! the cutscenes were awesome (incredible voice acting)  and the controls, while they took a bit of getting used to, were surprisingly fun. i really hope to see more out of this game someday :)

zoo wee mama! is that my favorite gamedev/comedy/animation/button-maker-machine-unboxing youtuber datapotato? cool game! tbh, the "game" part felt a little rushed, but the cutscenes absolutely made up for it! the mad scientist reminded me of gordon ramsay. nice!

Really cool game! Loved the funny cutscenes, I enjoyed playing!

Submitted

This is a great ideia, will love to see a bigger version of the project. Love it

Developer(+1)

thanks so much! Yeh, i did run outta time, but the idea is there, phew!!!

My plan is to add puzzle elements in between the fighting and parkour, so i'm pretty hyped too ;)

thanks for playing!!!

Submitted

Absolutely love the cutscenes and voice acting. Though I'm a bit confused that the player has a gravitational gun.

Developer

right yeah thanks so much!
the gun... ok so it's a shrink ray, but every other shot shrinks and every other shot grows (to preserve density)

So basically when the gun shoots a grow shot, mass leaves the gun, causing the player to take knockback.
But when it's shooting a shrink shot, the mass goes back into the gun, causing the player to lurch in the direction of the shot.
That's the idea anyway, It's obviously not a finished game :') I could have added a bit of explainer text.

Awesome cutscenes, not sure if it was intentional but once i realized i could basically fly clicking above and below me i loved the movement.

Submitted

Me too! Speed runners gonna go wild lol

Developer

Thank you1!!

yes the movement was intentional lol, here's an explainer blerb:

Each cutscene was a cinematic masterpiece and the movement system was actually kinda fun 11/10 game.

Submitted

Took me a bit to realize I should be using the gun to traverse the environment, but once I did it was actually a fun, unique movement system. The cutscenes were *adorable*, huge fan of them! Overall, cute game

Submitted

I had a hard time getting over the hill. Good cutscene.
