I clicked for the cute "cuddle fish" 'cause I like puns, and cute things, AND cuttle fish, which made this one seem pretty perfect.
Then I found out it was a guess-the-word-I'm-thinking-of game and cringed a little... But, for one of those, this was well done! Especially for the time frame. You included words that were close to the right one, like "basket" being close to "bowl." A few complaints though.
For one, when you miss one it's possible to get the one you just missed a second time. That shouldn't happen unless it's the very last one; otherwise, the one you just did should be locked out of the order.
For another, it seems like sometimes you can lose life by selecting something, but it turns out to be the wrong thing. And maybe this is just my imagination, but it seems like you lose time with wrong guesses. Neither of those should be in the game.
Anyway, the categories were fun and fun to play. My favorite was the man crossing the river. "Oh, thank you!" If only I could figure out how to "Shade him!"
So far I've tried parasol, tree, cloud, awning, SHADE ITSELF, house, tent... Even mountain. I was like, "Well that horizon looks pretty bare, maybe a mountain would block the sun enough?" But nope! And I lost life for trying!
A game about making the right crazy guess in time should encourage crazy guesses, instead of punishing them like that. Overall though, I liked it a lot. Good job.
Fun little game! I thought it moved a little slow with six seconds between each round, but otherwise I had fun with it. Music was great and the sound effects made me laugh.
I really enjoyed this little game. Some of them were to easy to guess but others had me thinking for a little bit. Maybe its just me but I kinda enjoyed destroying that village with the water. I also enjoyed the animations, it added a nice humorous effect. I would say they only problems with it was not enough scenerios and options for each scenerio.
The countdown could be shorter. Maybe three seconds. And I never figured out Save Them! Ohhhhhh a dam! Also, you can upload a Post-Ludum entry if you wish. Just keep the original links so people can vote on the Jam version.
Pretty cute and fun game! The art isn't amazing, but you kept the theme throughout the game, and it has its own charm. I think you absolutely nailed the little human sound effects, they're really fun!
I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to save the picnic though. Any combination of insect/bug spray/repellent didn't seem to work, and a net or water only made it worse :( Also, I don't get why we need to wait 7 seconds between stages. Any specific reason?
Apart from that, kudos to getting synonyms. Alarm instead of clock, handkerchief instead of tissue... Good job!
But I can't start your game in Linux: ./cuddle fish: error while loading shared libraries: libXcursor.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
@picxinet That error is probably because the game is in 32bit and the library it's trying to use is 64bit. I'll upload a 64bit version, but in the meantime you can try to install the 32bit version of the library.
Need to have an online dictionary open since I don't know all the english words lol. Interesting take on the theme, makes a very hectic game. I think the waiting time in between is too long tho.
Awesomely addictive game, love that it's an interesting spin on WarioWare and I love seeing the cuttle fish transform into things. I just wish there could be a couple more options sometimes :) But I understand the challenge is in figuring out the word to use.
cool puzzle game.
