I hope you decide to make a phone version of this game. I can see myself playing this while sitting on a train.

Good luck and well done ^^

So bizarre but allot of fun!!

Nice idea, I would add more work on the seal physics to make it feel more soften and elastic (more seal). Anw, I had fun jumping on top of other seals

Thanks everyone for the feedbacks!

@thesand Ha, I think a phone version would be a great idea too :)

@huynq This is the first time we ever use Unity, so there is still a lot we don't know. Definitely would look more into the 2D physics aspect like you said.

TEN OUTTA TEN. The dialog and audio really makes the game!

144 points! Is that good? Special Move 3 was insane, it looked like my seal was phasing between dimensions and he became unstoppable.

I think this fits the theme really well, it was a good simple game jam idea and make me smile a lot! :smile:

Unique take on the theme! Was fun to play, great job of embedding the glitchiness into the game mechanics.

@ekkiiiii haha yeah.... we "embedded" all the glitchiness into the game mechanics. Thanks for playing!

It's a strange one! Love the sound effects and the ridiculousness of the idea. I'd like to see some animations for the moves. I didn't see the point of jumping because I just ended up on top of all the other seals and it made it harder to push them off. Also, the 3rd ability makes the seal glitch out a bit (intentional?).

I had fun. 10/10 would seal again.

Interessting idea :) Background movment is very nice! Maybe indicate that your special moves are on cooldown.

Really fun and hilarious game. The audio was well done too. First one Iv'e given full humor marks for. Good luck in voting!

This is great. The hit boxes of the different attacks seems a bit wonky, but it is a nice selection of the special moves, which all seems nice and powerful. The game was very fun.

@dagothig Thanks for the feedback.

@seconddimension around ~100 points is the average, so I would say that you are doing better than the mean :)

@nekoballs Thanks a lot! The audios were definitely fun to make, especially all of the sfx were all vocalized by @MiggyG.

@unit684 Thank you for the feedback. We didn't really have much time to polish the game due to school and such, but we will definitely going work on polishing the game once we have more time.

@wujood Yup, parallax background is always nice :)

@schizoid2k Thank you!

@saxops1 Sure thing! Thank you for playing our game.

@daniel-conway Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated!

@pete Thank you for your feedback! This is the first time we ever try using Unity, so there are still a lot for us to learn. Definitely will going to fix the hit box detections to make the game seem more fluent.

This is really good for a quick amusement, and very funny. I'm not really sure what you could to to expand it into more than two-minute experience, really, but for what it is, it's quite good!

Actually, no, I take that back. Semi-cooperative, semi-competitive, local multiplayer! That is, all players on the same team, trying to keep peasants off the island together, but each getting scored for their own 'kills'. If you can't work together as a team, you all lose, but you're still trying to beat your friends' scores. "This is a cooperative game, but I'm winning!" _That_ is what could take this beyond a two minute "Hah, that was silly" into something you'd play repeatedly.

Also at that point you could add different royal seals (King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Vizier, whatever) who had different abilities. I take it back, this could be awesome :stuck_out_tongue:

Although admittedly, adding all of that would be a ton of extra work.

It is so funny))) I got rid of 77 seals! I like the sound and graphic as well.

Silly little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)
