Great work on the hand art, felt very expressive. I did find the difficulty quite high, and for some reason right-clicking when killing an enemy with a slap attack didn't regain me any health. Another tip would be to structure the level so you can see where you're meant to jump - there were a few areas that I couldn't tell what was at the bottom if I jumped. Good work though!

Developer

Thankksss , i rly apperciaite it ,the difficulty was hard bc i got used to da game xD ,when u slap an enemy ,it has to be another enemy not the one u already killed ,and the level design was uhh a bit bad bc i made it :D

Incredible game, I really enjoyed it. I found that some of the controls felt a bit awkward to try and press (especially control to dash). But the art and sound were all really good, and it was super impressive what you were able to make in just a week. I loved all the NPCs and their silly voices.

Developer

Yeah some one added the ctrl (vlosyros) but i fixed it so I've added ctrl and shift for the dash :D Ty tho 

Developer

I apparently have rather big hands so it doesn't feel awkward at all for me to press all the buttons thus I didn't really notice that it would be awkward to other people :/

Developer(+1)

me too ,but me getting used to A LOT of games i like shift now ,the ctrl didn't bother me tho :

The dash effect is cool and satisfying, Being asked to right click to heal, and later left click to flick while everything else is left handed felt a bit off, and some of the hits didn't have much in the way of feedback to the player that the rarget's been struck. I'd have appreciated a w to jump option as a quality of life thing. The audio for the guy talking and the game music were fun and atmospheric. Great job. -Rogue

Hey!

The character feels great. The dashing feels left a good impact. Maybe a map would have make a game a bit easy and hence, more enjoyable to play.

Developer

Hey! Yeah, wish we could have added a map but we were still scrambling to get the game uploaded 2 minutes before the deadline, so we didn't really get the chance T_T

still man, the game felt good to play. Respect to you!

Hey! This game is great!

To start, your character is very expressive, which is nice to see. the sound design was great too

Slapping enemies and chaining them was very satisfying and a great mechanic

Your next steps should be probably lowering the difficulty and building the stage around your characters move set a little more, a character like this struggles on small platforms or tight spaces

Absolutely fantastic

Keep up the great work

Developer

Thanks for your feedback ! I noticed the problems with the level design and difficulty but we were running out of time so I couldn't do much about them :( Glad that you liked the slap ! (That was my idea)

This was a fun neat little game, I think the biggest problem (ignoring the bugs) is that this game is bloody hard, and for all the weirdest reasons, because it's fairly easy jumping and dashing over every enemy, the reason it's so hard is because enemies can pull of some crazy nfl turn arounds and kick your ass in a tight crawl space or the block you in a crawl space (mainly with roaches) and this is probably me being not an epic gamer, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to regain health.

Now this all sounds terrible, but I'm playing as a hand trying to get my creator his hotdog ring so I really don't care because I came here for stupid and I got that 10 fold so I would say you did a good job.

also the music is a banger so that's a big plus

Developer(+1)

W ,da music is obv me :D uhh everything else you didn't like is my teammates fault xD but seriously ,I apperciaite your feedback ,btw to heal u kill an enemy u get into slap mode and slap an enemy using the right click .then u get a finger back ,i see u didn't read da tutorial >:< ,anyway the level design was rushed ,i was going to add areas where u have to 1v1 da enemies so u can open da door to continue your journey but uhhh ,i forgot to add it so.. :/ ,thanks man for ur feedback :D

it has a neat concept however the level design just makes it a little too hard with how far the dash goes alongside the many gaps and spikes, taking damage while jumping sends you into the stratosphere sometimes which is pretty funny 

Developer(+1)

Thanks man ,I didn't wanna cap the vlocity in the y direction because it was HALIRIOUS ,the game design was bad bc i made it :D If i had a little time to learn da level design then i would've made smt good but... :(

Loved the game. Great concept and lovely art. Just one thing to note is that the transition after dying is rly slow and annoying. Other than that loved the game.

Developer(+1)
