How does your game fit the theme?
Besides the very quirky play on words related to the theme, our game features a character (you) tasked with the 'gargantuan' task of dying giant tshirts while being at the mercy of random paint deliveries. The only certain thing is that you will get the colors you need, but the order and the amount are randomly generated. This means that every time you paint you have to plan your steps and adapt to the unpredictable.

haha! What a ridiculous idea! Its great and  wonderfully silly! It seems to need quite a lot of skill to control the tractor, my shirts were awful :)

Developer

Thank you for your kind comment! The tractor needs some time to get used to but with some practice you can actually be quite precise. See the cherries I did in one of the screenshots for example (not gonna hide how proud I am of the result).

Also I'm sure your shirts were pretty, don't let the giants judgment fool you. They turned out very critical :)

I think this was a really cool game! Chaotically fun or funnily chaotic, I enjoyed my time playing it! I hope we're going to see more from these developers!

Developer

Happy to hear you had a good time! We may put in some more work after the jam has concluded, otherwise you can look forward to another entry next year!

Heya, loved the game but it would have been so much more fun if the paintroll was a little less chaotic to control :) 

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Turned out to be a little to chaotic for most people. If we only had more time for testing... :'D

loved the concept of this one, reminded me of a hectic mario party minigame!! really refreshingly creative after playing a lot of games that were very similar to each other, great job!

Developer

Thank you for the kind feedback! I'm glad you liked it :)

This was a really interesting concept - in some ways the closest thing I can think of I've ever come across is the Logo programming language, and its turtles: particularly, roller up/roller down made me think of the turtles' pen up/pen down. That gets you brownie points in my book, Logo is nice.

If anything, I think the combo of the physics modelled driving and roller, the worry about paint running out, and the order combined to make the game a bit too hard (for me, at least!). 

Developer

Now you've got me reading up all on Logos turtle, very interesting! I think you are not the only one who got a little stressed out with the painting, it certainly needs to be easier to some degree. Thank you for your feedback!

Fun concept but a little hard to control. I like your take on the theme. The randomness factor really made the game unique. Well done! 

It would be great if you could check out our game and let us know what you think!

Thank you for playing! I agree that the tractor handling needs a little more refinement but it's ultimately supposed to be somewhat uneasy ;]

Really fun and silly! Captures the silly fun of some of the minigames in mario odyssey or mario party.

Developer

Glad your enjoyed it! We also thought about the Mario Party games when developing the idea :)

The giants hated my shirts, I made it with love, but they hated my shirts :(

Developer

I am so sorry, I'm sure your t-shirts were lovely, but the giants turned out a little more critical than we intended to. Don't let them bring you down! :)
