Good gameplay, graphics and sound effects. Was fun to play.

Pretty cool game! Hilarious concept because I think it's actually pretty accurate with what's going on right now. The controls and objective were clear. The UI and menus are very clean! The voice over work sounds incredibly professional. All the music tracks are bangers for sure! Haha. Things got pretty intense when the infections got out of control, the intensity felt pretty fun. My only complaint is that I occasionally felt like I had no control over landing the toilet paper into the bin, sometimes the physics would make the rolls bounce off the wall or edges of the bin and land outside of it.  Other than that the gameplay is actually very fun! Great job!

You beat it! Nice! Thanks for the awesome comment!

Very nice game, had much fun playing! I especially liked the start screen, the music and sound (voice over!). Although it would be of limited use, I would like to have the ability to throw the toilet paper in all moving directions, so it would be possible to throw it in the bin from above and below.

Wow very cool. You did a lot of smal things to make the game feel nice. And one thing design wise is absolutely grate. You don't need a timer or something simple like that to make the player go fast. The fact that the dangerous cubes get more over time by infecting each other achieves that in a very very elegant way. Good job.

Yet another toilet paper game, but it's unique!

Developer

The world is definitely at carrying capacity for TP games now lol

Very nice idea, the game looks great, it´s polished...but the audio steals the show, awesome job! Only nitpick is that I don´t like using WASD+SPACE, you could´ve used the arrow keys or a different key instead of SPACE, but this combination is a bit weird to use for me.

Still, I enjoyed it and the sound guy deserves a rise!

Developer

Thanks! Btw the arrow keys will work also if that is more comfortable for you.

I like how the menu looks and the audio sounds, with the voice acting, it all created a great mood! In the game I wasn't sure at first how to collect paper and then I finally realized that you need to throw it

Wow, the audio was so good, I didn't expect the voiced count down. Sadly, the main menu looked better than the game itself. It definitely needs some details here and there, grey cubes aren't visually attractive, at least in my opinion.

The gameplay was fun (past the frustrating learning experience, wondering why the tp doesn't go in lol ) especially once you master the throw and can yeet the paper across the city! 

I think 10 days is too long for the content this game has, maybe a week would feel better? Also when there's more people you have to wait for their spawn longer than you play a level, I think you should speed this up.

Overall, fun experience!

Developer

Great feedback thanks for playing, once the game jam rating period is over I think all of your suggestions are worth addressing for sure.

I always make a point of not looking at screenshots before testing an entry and I admit I expected something completely different by the game name ahahahah.  Nice game! I liked the minimal b/w style and the music was nice too. Throwing the toilet paper in the box was difficult at the beginning but soon I mastered it. XD   Unfortunately I was not good enough to complete the game, but that was fun. Well done!! :)

A fantastic game, The only problem was the perpective of the view that sometimes I got confused trying to guess if the paper were going to enter or not. Is very original. 9/10

Controls were a bit floaty, but other than that it was a fun game to play. Good music, hits the covid mark, but I didn't get where "a lot of" fit in. That last part, though, is kinda immaterial because as a standalone game it's playable and entertaining. I liked it!

9/10

Nice game with nice graphics and smooth movement.

The disadvantages only that movement is very smooth and sometimes it's really hard to pick up the paper. Also, some decorations on the background would be awesome for that game, grey color is looking great but empty.

In overall game is very good

Great game! I love the infection mechanic it adds a nice layer of depth to the main gameplay. My only complaint is that the movement isn't snappy enough for a faced paced game. great work!

I think it be cool if the games actually stop, once the game is over

Theme, music and feel is really nice,(especially like the menus and the 3-2-1) the character controls were too "floaty" to make the gameplay as enjoying
