Between the various Christmas meals, I didn't find much time to play. So I'm finally playing! It's not an easy game, and it took me a while to accept that I had to take my time and be careful not to hit any obstacles! And then, well, some houses will have lots of gifts and others none xD

Bravo again, it's a great gameplay!

My best score is very indicative of the violence that night :D

Between two Christmas dinners, I can finally come and play your game :D

I'm so glad you're taking part in the Trijam!

My best score is 119 :) there really is a time when kids will do anything to get their presents! Unfortunately, I didn't manage to destroy Christmas...

In any case, it's really cool for a first game, and especially in such a short time! Well done to you!

My best score is 54!

But I couldn't stop them - sorry, Christmas is ruined!

Well done for this game!

Thank you very much for your comment :)

I usually type blind too, so I was surprised that the game wasn't so easy. In a way, so much the better, it's a bit of a challenge :)

Not an easy last level! But Santa got the better of the evil aliens! Bravo for this simple and effective game :)

Oh, I'm so glad you're trying out your new keyboard with a game in which I'm so proud of the keyboard inside!

And thanks for your nice comment :D

At first I was all confused too. I never thought I'd have to look at my keyboard so much to play successfully. I have to say that not all the keys are there for AZERTY/QWERTY compatibility reasons.

As a groundhog appears every second, I think the best possible score is 60. Personally, I managed to get as high as 52 :)

Thanks again!

Thanks Roy4lduck :D

I love it when it's meta!

My best score is 45!

The atmosphere is absolutely fabulous! And the palette of just three colors works really well :D

Well done for creating this game on time!

Keyboarding is a bit laborious. But with the joystick, it's ultra-satisfying! I spent more time than I care to admit making everything burn :D Bravo!

The little elf up there thought he was well hidden... who did he think he was dealing with :D

Well done for creating this game!

Thank you very much! The triple barrel is really not easy to use. So bravo for going all the way with it :)

All it took was 1:27 for them to riot! Basically, I agree with them xD The atmosphere is delirious and made me laugh a lot, bravo :D

By the penultimate level, I still hadn't figured out that you could move! So it took me 11:16 to get to the end. I did it a second time, and it took me 2:41 (the last level is hard!).

The game is great and reminded me of the “ricochet kills” games I used to play when I was younger :D (and the title isn't bad either xD)

Thank you very much for your comment :)

As explained in my reply to Jiminy Snicket, I think I've solved the entity stacking bug that causes instant acceleration. So if you ever feel like playing it again, it shouldn't be a problem ;D

Many thanks for playing and leaving such a detailed comment :)

First of all, regarding the bug you noticed, I think I understand what my mistake is, and it's one I've been making for a long time. Indeed, to prevent the enemies from piling up, I used to move them one pixel apart with each tick. And on my side, everything seemed to be going well. There was sometimes a slight acceleration of the enemies, but nothing abnormal. Then when I read your comment, it clicked! I tried my game with another framerate mode that doesn't limit ticks and I got the bug you mentioned. In short, I modified my code so that it only triggers every 0.06 seconds (which is equivalent to 60fps for everyone). Logically, if you play it again, it should be fixed (I hope!).

As for balancing, I'm well aware that it's a subtle and difficult art :) I've done my best on a style of game I have no particular knowledge of. I have the impression that the game is difficult but far from impossible (but maybe that's just an impression). Personally, I'm now able to finish it by trying a bit of every style of skill combination (I'm well aware that, as a dev of the game, I'm by no means a representative player). But perhaps you'll find the game less unfair and frustrating without the bug.

In short, your comments are very positive for me, and very enriching. And I'm glad you've spent some time playing, despite the bugs and frustrations you've encountered.

Thanks again :D

They're popping up everywhere! xD

Thank you very much! I had a feeling I was going to go over 3 hours xD But i'm glad I was able to do it all in a reasonable amount of time :)

Having to move the box with the mouse is a great mechanic! It's a pity you ran out of time with the sounds, because otherwise the game is really quite accomplished. Anyway, congratulations on managing to create this in just 3 hours!

At first, I was really bad xD Then I practiced and finished the nightmare version at 3m52s from the end, with 7 lives :D

Once again, you've created a great gameplay! (and with a broken keyboard, it's a masterclass! :D)

Alone against so many ships, it was hopeless xD I scored 707 points in my best game. It was a really intense game, well done!

My best time: 36.77! I was happy to do such a good time, then I was ashamed to have burned them! Oops!

Bravo for this game!

Oh no! I so wanted to watch “A man & a cat”!

It made me laugh out loud, bravo :)

I've played a few games and can't manage more than 4min20s! Someone in the comments did 3min20s! I'm impressed :D

The game is really very beautiful and thoroughly polished! I really like the atmosphere.

Bravo !

I've also just implemented the ability to download the game. Maybe this will work better than with the browser.

Thank you very much! As I was saying to Draelent on the previous comment, maybe you can try playing it on another browser. I have the impression that the game lags especially on Mozilla Firefox, while it seems to work better on Chrome or Edge.

Oh! that was one of my fears :( I'm afraid the game is very, very resource-hungry. I've tried playing it on several browsers, and it seems that mozilla firefox is particularly slow. Have you tried playing it on chrome or edge, for example?

56 points! You've got to stay focused if you don't want to hit an obstacle :D

A very interesting concept and really superb visuals!

Not an easy task! I really enjoyed this game mechanic :D

My best score was 29, and it was intense!

Well done!

Mon meilleur score est de 199 secondes ! Bien souvent, dans des moments de panique, je perdais toutes mes vie d'affilée xD

J'ai beaucoup aimé l'ambiance de ce jeu là (et tout particulièrement le petit bruit trop mignon quand l'écureuil de gauche mange des chataigne :D)

Bravo à vous trois ! 

191 ! I made a clumsy mistake when I was too confident xD

A minimalist but terribly effective game. A post jam version with sounds and a little music would be really great. Well done!

41 dead! But I got killed quite a few times on what seemed to me to be invisible spikes on both sides. (see screenshot)

Anyway, it's a very good game, and in perfect keeping with the theme!  Well done!

I really like the graphics and atmosphere of this game :D The 2.5D works really well!

Maybe what's missing is a difficulty curve (an increase in car frequency, for example). Personally, I went up to 1000 points and then deliberately crashed into a car xD

Anyway, it's a great submission for the trijam, so well done!

It's great to see a project like this! You look so happy in the photo of you working together :)

And it's nice to see a game with different artistic styles mixed together!

I had a bit of trouble finding the key in the kitchen, but it all worked out, and I managed to escape from the house!

Well done to you all :D

Thanks a lot! I myself am quite enthralled by the rendering of this game :D

Great game! The sokoban aspect works well with this mirrored movement mechanic. Well done for achieving this in 3 hours :)

At first, even though I'd read the rules, I intuitively aimed straight for the monsters! It wasn't easy to attack by bouncing. But I eventually came up with my own little strategy, making rows of balls that always bounce up and down, to the right if the monsters come from the right, and vice versa. The hardest part is changing direction! In short, my best score was 101 and I had a lot of fun :) Well done!

How difficult it is! But what a well thought-out idea! I managed 13 points, but I can certainly improve. What's more, the game's minimalism makes it very beautiful. Bravo, I really liked it!

Very good level design :) Bravo !
