the voice acting was fanaminal
I really liked the well-performed voice-over instructions - it meant I didn't need to keep checking the game page. I also really liked that it did something really different with the theme!
I think it's safe to say there is no other game like this in the jam! I guess the title should have clued me in, but I was still super caught off guard (in a good way). This could be a hilariously morbid concept to explore in an expanded project. The controls are a bit difficult in the current version--the decapitation/bowling power bars move so fast that it is hard to time them properly. Overall, though, good job!
the bars move too fast due to an error on my part, they are frame rate based meaning powerful pcs tend to run the game faster hence making the slider much faster. Apologize you ran into this bug
This game made me laugh out loud it's so unexpectedly dark and hilarious I adore it!
Great job!
I like the concept of the game. It's simple but you managed to combine the dice theme in without relying on randomness which is cool.
As others have said, the meter is a bit too fast to really get a lot of enjoyment out of the game. I think if you slow it down a bit and make it trigger immediately you'll have a neat little game.
I really appreciate the voiceover tutorial, something which I haven't seen too much. It's also nice that you can turn it off.
Regarding the theme, I think if you had made the people dices instead it would've fit better with "rolling the dice".
Good job!
Funny and dark game! I chopped off a good head the first time around, and bowled a spare! Pretty proud of myself B) This was a really creative take on the theme, and the voiced guide was great! Just condescending enough to make me try to bowl again! Great work!
This on was really different and I loved it for that! Great job with the just general sillyness of it. Only thing I thought when playing is it could use like a real bowling scorecard with frames and whatnot or like a strike streak counter or something like that but I know jam was only 48 hours so understandable that there wasn't something like that.
Anyway, I found the game super cool! Great job!
I didnt realize I had uploaded the wrong file! thank you for pointing that out in the stream! sorry for the inconvenience! Thanks again for playing the game!
Wow what a whacky game! This is definitely going to stick with me. Loved that the quality of the chop influenced your bowl!
A very unique take on the theme. I laugh hearing all those voice lines while chopping the head of people and using it as bowling. It's silly yet very entertaining. Great works!
This is one of my favorite games in the jam! It's very simple, but it's really silly and entertaining, too! Great work!
Thanks for submitting your game to the stream, here's the interview;
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1539804369This is hilarious - great use of the theme. The voice acting was also a cool addition, and something I don’t see often in game jams (also glad to see a transcription for those who need it!). It was also nice that getting a “bad head” didn’t immediately disqualify you, and you still had a chance. I found the bowling a little easy, and I wish there was a more complex system behind it, but that’s understandable since it’s a jam.
Good work!
Good game, fun voice acting 👍
Good work.
Really funny interpretation of the theme 😃
Also, that voice acting is hilarious.
As a wise man once said: Goood job-eh!
Hilarious take on the theme <3
Though the head goes way super fast at the highest power.
Really unique concept! :) and the way you interpreted the theme was really clever! zThe only problem i have is, of course, the slider speeds. if you put the code for the sliders in the Update() function, i recommend putting it in the FixedUpdate() function, that way the sliders will be the same speed no matter what. Other than that, very unique game! :D
This was a great game. The voice acting was really good + the concept is just something I never would have thought of but works. The meter was maybe a bit too difficult to line up but that might just honestly add to it
Hilarious! What a take on the theme of "Roll of the dice". Nice job. Also the voice over added a lot of fun and quirkiness to the game for sure. Definitely satisfying to get a full power bowl and get a strike! Would love to see the bowling expanded with some interesting lanes. Great job!
Unique and creative game ! I enjoyed it !
I never knew I liked bowling until I played your game
