i like the game and art but im just missing sound
Cheers- seems a common complaint- I’ll have to dust off my composing skills for the next jam :)
Me eat candy and look at pretty colors. But it can be distracting too with so many beautiful colors! This is a really good game, pico-8 looks really coool
Hah- thanks!
I enjoyed this one! Highest level I got was 27, but I loved how it picked up speed as you went. Is it normal to just have sound when it starts? I loved the pixel animations as well.
Thanks! 27 is pretty respectable :)
Yeah- I didn’t have time to do any sound design for this jam, so you just get the in-built sound when the PICO-8 player starts.
Enjoyed all the color! Just needed some fun, fitting music and sound effects and it'd feel really complete!
Thanks! I’ll have to learn how to compose :P
The candy bouncing around like it did made it feel more luck based than skill based around candy 30 or so.
Cheers- although 30’s a pretty end-game score; so you’re doing well :)
pico-8 games look always cool, and i agree, the background here especially. makes it harder though to see the already small candy.
i enjoyed it. 🙂 sadly there is no sound or music. 😢
Thanks! I know what you mean - I realised too late that I’m not good at drawing 8x8 candy :P
omg how I love pico-8! Good job Tom! Cool game, the background effect is SOOO NEEEEAT!
Hehe- thanks :)
It was a hard game, fun to play for a couple minutes. The visuals, although nice, were a bit dizzying. It would be beneficial to have more feedback for collecting candy, like some particles, a screenshake, an effect on the character. That would make it clearer that the candy has been collected. Congratulations on the game!
Cheers :) I really wanted to capture the frenetic experience of the sugar rush. All those sound like great ideas to have added though- soo much jam, soo little time :)
Scored: 27. Not much I guess...
The idea of the growing background is really cool and the project is nicely executed as well. Great sub.
Thanks- glad you liked it! 27 is pretty good - I wanted it to be short and sweet- so anything around 30 is pretty epic :)
I really like the background, loved the candy, and I hated the vegetables. I think a highscore or skin feature would be nice to make the player want to continue playing. But overall a nice experience.
Thanks! Cool ideas for extending it- there’s never enough time in a game jam!
