Loved the style! The music and Audio fit very well and I really like the feeling you achieved. The only thing I'd say is that it gets a little repetitive after a few levels, but overall, a really good game. Good luck!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Hopefully the game's just short enough so that the repetition isn't too much a problem? With a couple more days I'd have loved to make more stages, backgrounds, and gimmicks; but these things all take time, a thing I didn't have an awful lot of. :)

I love the style. It reminds me of something, but I cant recall what it is.

I enjoyed the game, it was relaxing as I knew I couldn't lose. I wanted the cheese to go flying everywhere, so flicking it towards the grators and bounce-pads were a good thing.

I enjoyed this one, good game!

Developer

Thanks for your kind comments!

If it helps, I did try to hark back to the better examples of the Newgrounds/Flash game boom; stuff like Alien Hominid has always been an inspiration visually, and combining that with the simplicity and physics play of something like Angry Birds, and that's essentially where I flicked my creative cheese (so to speak) at.

Gives me nostalgia from old popular flash games I used to play. Amazing!

I'd appreciate it if you would take a look at mine!

Thank you! That's partly what I was aiming for; people often use 'looks like a flash game' as an insult, but actually some of them looked great in my opinion, and developers could do worse than recapturing what is now a happy part of many gamer's childhoods. <3

I didnt like visuals but I loved the Idea, This seeing your cheese shredded but only a little tiny piece make it to exit is satisfying

Developer(+1)

It really is satisfying, isn't it? And the best way to score points, as it happens!

Sorry you didn't like the visuals. I've a pretty quirky drawing style, and accept that it won't appeal to everyone; glad you otherwise enjoyed my game though. <3 

Submitted(+1)

This game is so cool! I love everything about it! The art, music, gameplay, effects, everything is super polished.  Well done.

Developer

Thank you! This means a lot to me! <3

0/10 I had to harm cheese to win the game, at least it was fun though 

Developer

Glad you had fun. But I promise you, that is a stunt-cheese and no actual cheeses were harmed in the production of this game.

Just my drawing hand.

This game is awsome,  full stop.

I dig the main mechanic, though you do have to learn how it works and it'd be nice to be able to somewhat control the velocity.

Fun game with enough content to make your grand children excited about it! (Accounting for this being made iin a jam.) Honestly, reminds me of old and weird flash games from newgrounds.

Developer(+1)

Under no circumstance was I going to make a mechanic explained well enough for players to succeed at it right away; I wanted at least a couple of flubbed attempts from the average player so they'd fail, and see that they still progressed regardless, and understood that failure is progress. I feel like an easily-masterable control may've enabled players to overlook this detail, so it was a totally-conscious desigin to go with that chaotic high-powered 'flick', just to have players witness the extent to the consequences of their actions.

Thank you for your comments though, it means a lot. <3 

Submitted(+1)

Well, you defenetly achieved your design goals then

Submitted(+1)

just a solid and fun experience all around. no weak aspects of this game

Developer

Thank you, so much! <3

This game is really fun as a little highscore chaser, and the art is simply stunning! I absolutely love the feel of this game, just really good all round. Good job on this one Pens n' Pixels.

Developer

Thank you! That really means a lot to me. <3

I LOVE IT!!! I just beat the game and It’s so fun!!! The visuals were very nice! the music was fine! overall it’s amazing! It kinda reminds me of a game you’d play in an arcade!

Developer

Thank you! As a fan of arcade games myself, this is quite the compliment! <3 

Submitted(+1)

Lol, this was fun! I liked the visuals and the sound design! The concept also was really refreshing. Good job mr cheebs

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! <3

I dont really understand how to control the streght of the flick.

Developer(+1)

You don't. Just point at the thing you're flicking towards and FLICK HARD OR NOT AT ALL. ;)

Submitted(+1)

Ah thank you. Now your game is very fun to play. I love the mechanic of shredding the cheese. Very well done.

Submitted(+1)

I gotta say i enjoyed your game a lot! It took me some time to figure out the controls, because i thought i would have to drag or something. I loved the Sounddesign and music aswell as the art. It could use some particles and UI animations. However that is nitpicking. Well Done!

Developer

Thank you!

It doesn't matter if you took a while to figure the controls, there's literally no way to fail! As long as you had a good time, that's all that matters. :)

Submitted

I like your game, its simple idea and beautiful visuals.
Get in and try my game and give me your opinion.

Submitted(+1)

This was fantastic, loved the whimsical theme. it would have been cool to see a level select screen so I could try to get perfect attempts on trickier levels. That's a minor detail though, awesome game overall.

Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much! <3 

Submitted(+1)

I'm loving every bit, it's more a laid back game but a game that takes skill to do well in. The presentation is laid out well along with the visuals. Good stuff

Developer

Thank you! <3

Big fan of cheese, big fan of physics, big fan of cheesy (ha!) voice-over, big fan of this all around, really. Effective, simple, pick-up-and-play gameplay that gets to the point with a lot of satisfying presentation. 

Developer

Thank you! This means a lot to brie me. ;)

Cheese is gud, yum yum!

Developer

Yes it is! Yum yum!

Submitted(+1)

I am chuffed to bits! This game is just too briliant
Especially voice overs! haha love em! 
The art style is nice ,i like the gameplay
Didnt notice any bugs

But i think its a bit hard to spot where is the cheese when you load in the level at first

Developer(+1)

Thank you, thank you!

Had I longer than three days, I might've worked in a mechanic to show you where your cheese it, but alas; I barely finished with under an hour left of the jam; and at that had to hotfix an oversight! Whoops! ;)
