Funny idea, love the glasses on a pen
This was super cute lol. I love this. The premise is simple and easy to understand, the artwork (esp a pen with a mustache) is fun, the music is simple and captures the vibe, and the game loop is modular so you can create more levels easily. To top all that off, it seems you did this all on your own. Amazing job - one of my favorites!
Thank you!! Yes I did all on my own except the music. Was running out of time so I just got a freesound.org loop but next time I definitely want to do my own music :)
Thanks for the submission. This is a great first game! I had a lot of fun playing it. The music and art were also quite good. I also appreciate the people who went the forge route instead of the forge route, if you know what I mean.
Going forward, it would be great to have more levels (and more types of enemies), because I wanted to play more of this delightful game.
For a first game this isn't bad at all! Solid execution, which tells me you didn't let scope creep keep you from finishing. A great job!
Thank you! Yeah I tried to stick to be realistic with my time and stick to my Kanban as much as I could :)
Congrats on your first GWJ! Looks like you learned a lot about the engine with this game. I love the character designs, and the premise itself is really funny :D
Nice work!
It was a blast! Happy to be learning about the engine. Cheers for the kind comments :)
Cute art style and funny pen guy :))
Hi, this was a fun entry! I really enjoyed the dialogue and thought the way you presented it looked really nice. I had a lot of fun with the mechanics when I reached the actual level, though I did find myself marking the tile above where I expected based on the player position. Other than that though, it was great. You should have more confidence!
Yahoo! Glad you had fun mate! Yeah that bug and others brought my confidence down a lot but everyones kind comments such as yours is really heartwarming and I'm really excited to do more of these! :)
I love the interpretation of the theme and find it quite unique as well, playing as the pen and having to avoid enemies that can kill you instead of just being a guy forging signatures. Really impressive first entry :D
Thank you thank you! Yes excited to do more of these now :))
It is fun! I could see this concept developing into a great game.
