Use of the limitation
Cuteness Overload is a Doom-like where you show your cute pet to people. It is so cute that they EXPLODE from cuteness, in a quite spectacular way. Make people explode from cuteness, and try to reach the grand finale of the game! Everyone explodes, it's chaotic, try the game.

The art is top notch, great work. Really fun as well although sometimes a few too many particles for my pc.

Developer

Yeah, too much particles for mine too, tell that to second coder ahah

Make this steam game, PRONTO lol

That was hilarious. I loved the art style. The people still look like zombies and they probably deserve to be blown up with cuteness!

Submitted(+1)

Making people explode has never been so fun and cute! The art is amazing and the feedbacks when someone explode are nicely done, you just want to keep blowing them up. And there is a DOG, I can't dislike it.  Very nice game! 

Submitted(+1)

The art and the particle effects are so well done, I almost forgot I was making peolple exploded for a second! The dog and the duck are SO cute. I really loved your game, very nice concept.
(I downloaded the windows build and it worked perfectly)

Strange I started playing and it crashed and said the game was unavailable?  I won't rate it based on that though. So far really liked the main menu and scene transitions.

I think the duck and dog were amazing and I would guess the rest of the game looked great too but I was getting the same graphical glitch everyone else was. Seems like a cool concept though and the music and sounds were both good and funny.

Developer

Hey, it seems the graphical glitch only appears on the web version, please try the desktop!

echoing the same from the people below on the web build this is what i ended up seeing on my end. Using chrome, like the duck though! too bad my duck isnt nice like that

The pet is cute! I like this game, reminds me of my cat :(

Submitted(+1)

Similar to others, once the game was started and I picked my duck the game crashed! I will try running on windows later since I want to play!

Submitted(+1)

This was an absolutely wonderful concept, I love it so much. I felt oddly compelled to seek out the cat lovers whenever I spotted them, they had to be converted to my duck!

The art style is gorgeous, and a perfect fit for the game. I also loved the web page :)

I had the same issue as Manbo below with regards to the web build, but the Windows build worked absolutely fine. If it's any help I'm using Chrome.

I'm not sure if its just me, but I had a few buggy issues with the web build - some buttons not working (especially on the main menu after a game over), as well as the main scene being super streaky.  I'll include a screenshot. Anyways, as far as the game goes, I thought the concept was interesting. The artwork is really well done, music and sounds work well together. And hosing nerds with cute pets is super fun! Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for the heads up! The web build is buggy, we added it for Mac users, as Mac build don't really work, I strongly advise the desktop version!

Gah, I get "damaged file" when I try to open this on a mac. I really want to play it! I really want to explode people with cuteness!

Developer(+1)

Hey, I've looked into it, it seems like a Mac OS limitation that we can't really account for. We just pushed a browser-based build if you want to try the game.


If you still want to try the desktop verion, there is a user-side fix for this, run this command in terminal

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine Path/To/App

Aha! It's, uh... it's pretty buggy (hard crashes the browser, which is just unusual, and I can get it to freeze in desktop program form), but, uh... I'm still giving it full marks because, look at my avatar, I'm 100% the target market for this game, and your style is just incredibly smooth. Those black paint wipes are gorgeous. Is that a prebaked animation, or are you doing that in code with splotches? I love it, I really love it.

Dogs rule!

The black paint transition is a compute shader with a texture. I didn't create it though

Submitted

Beautiful stuff. Dogs rule!

Adorable! Good way to use the theme overload.

What a cute concept and art style! A "show-your-dog-em-up" wasn't the kind of game i was expecting from this jam. Really original!

Submitted(+2)

Really cool concept and I really enjoyed the art style! It was very satisfying to explode the people. Good work!
