A good start! When I play it, my first thought is Robotron!!!
I have no fucking idea what I just played, and I love it. Deliciously surreal.
Not really horny, but wonderfully surreal. The soda 'mothership' that shows up at the bottom of the screen is a nice touch.
I really liked the aesthetic and simple gameplay. The background and music were trippy but fun and oddishly soothing. Over all it was a fun short game, nice work, :3
everything about this is incredible
i'm at a loss for words
also now i really want a soda. probably a huge sponsorship opportunity here
This game had my complete attention as I wandered the psychedelic wasteland, collecting soda to fill my meter, wondering what possible conclusion filling the bar would lead to. I'm not sure what kind of conclusion it was, but I feel like a sequence of levels and cutscenes in this style would make for a fun and captivating game. I enjoyed collecting soda while it lasted.
Yes, my number one complaint with my own game is that there isn't enough soda collecting. It's far too brief.
It's got a unique look to it. I generally like the direction of the sound design. I think the ending is too different both in terms of looks and audio from the rest of the game. This can be made to work if it's a something you encounter multiple times throughout the game, but it comes off as abrasive after the buildup on the previous level.
I just think it's too short right now. I want to see a rich, sprawling universe in this style with all sorts of encounters, twists, turns and events.
Fair criticism, will keep in mind. What you described is pretty much what my big main project is right now (but more story driven and given a lot more context), and the abrupt ending to this was an epic last minute teaser for it. You see, this, as well as all my games are in the same massive Chimp Developer cinematic universe and MM SODA is an important puzzle piece to the canon.
I procrastinated on this game jam and needed a big cryptic deus ex machina for the soda level I made
The real question is, can you find all the secret messages the ambiance has encoded in wavelengths inaudible to the human ear?

Look at the title of your game,
The key's to use its fullest name.

I knew at some point in my life I'd have to solve a series of riddles, but I didn't think it'd be this soon.
I believe in you!
Well it's been a week and I'm kinda officially stumped. I guess I'm contractually obligated to sign over the rights to my game and The Chimp Developer Cinematic Universe per the Riddler's Code. Maybe I never deserved such an asset to begin with.
How far did you get? I'll give you a hint.

Ah, I got as far as the third paragraph. The website you used is probably a good hint though.
I think I'm unironically down with this game's aesthetic. If you somehow turned this into an ASMR video I think I would actually watch it. Maybe there is something horny about soda. This needs further study.
Funny you should say that... my most viewed video on my channel is a soda asmr video I uploaded two years ago that somehow managed to rake in 2k views just with nsfw in the title
