I am back to try and beat my dad for the second time! I didn't quite make it last time, but I am trying just as hard. The fact that I'm competing against real game developers like Notch makes it even better!
Dad's still forcing me to do my homework and to go to bed on time, so I suspect he's getting nervous.
Thank you to all who tried this game and gave feedback!
This is a pretty cool game where you are a mouse and have to avoid different obstacles like tomatoes and spiders (i hate spiders...) and get as many cupcakes as you can ( love me some cupcakes!). I found the sound effects and the graphics to be really good for such a short amount of time! I wished the mouse would keep moving while i hold down a cursor key, but it was also OK to tap the keys constantly.
Excellent presentation, and I really love that you made put a working shop in there. Your games get better with each Ludum Dare and it is very rewarding to see you grow as a programmer and game designer. One day your games will inspire people, much as Notch inspires you.
I really enjoyed this game. I liked that you could save up for outfits (never bought the speed increase). I really liked the look of it and the sound effects and thought that the way it tells you your score, personal best and global high score was pretty cool.
I actually played this for quite awhile. Nice job! I like that you implemented an upgrade shop. That definitely made me play longer so I could unlock the faster speed. I bought some of the cosmetic items but they didn't seem to appear on my mouse. I enjoyed your music too! Keep up the good work!
This is really cute! I enjoyed it, especially the little cat with the hat in the shop.
When you lose, if you restart, you get stuck in the same place you died in. Which means that if you lose while on the top of the screen, the mouse will respawn at the top of the screen and likely lose again.
Oh, I remember you and your dad from last year. It's unusual but really awesome to see a parent and child both take part in a game competition! And your game is pretty cool game! I kept playing for several minutes, seeing how close I could get to the highscore. My best was 64012. :)
