You must have definitely come across that classic believe that boys don't like shopping. Or even more, shopping with their girlfriends. So we based our game on this.
Imagine you go shopping with your sweetie, you're really rich and she knows she can spend as much as she likes. What could you ideally do? Since you don't want to sleep on a sofa tonight you want to keep her satisfied. That means that you keep up and pay for stuff (press space nearby the truck). On the other hand, you don't have unlimited patience. You get upset with each box you need to carry at given moment as it weights something. Also you get upset with each bounce with some other shopper or a wall.
You win if you reach the top of bar with satisfaction in the game. You will loose if your love is not satisfied at all or if you are fully upset.
We wish you a nice game and ladies, please accept you apologies for such a stupid idea behind the game.
The game was created by four students of programming art at Charles University, in Prague.
Good job! Here's some feedback: - the controls are very headache-inducing, unfortunately I couldn't play very long - mood is cool - next time please prototype your core controls first and see if they feel good - also, the game is too hard
I didn't find the end of the game. It became too hard to find boxes. But I have to admit the good graphics, mood and audio. I don't know about the controls, yes, they can give you seasickness, but it's just very subjective. I am ok with that.
Idea is fun, but I agree - controls need major reworking. I'd probably fix camera rotation too, since rotating world in top-down projection with lots of colorful blobs causes vertigo. Atmosphere is great and I liked the audio.
Fun Game! It took me a little time to check that I have to carry the goods to the FedEx truck. Its also a bit hard. It could be a bit more balanced, to have more time for a round. But I played a few rounds and got better and better!
Fun arcade-ish game, the controls are a bit weird, would have loved to just move with wasd and let the camera be stationary since it's 2d top down and there won't be any prespective issues, you can change the black cone to hide things in the direction you are going so yeah, that's my only complaint though. Good job!
It took me a while to figure it out because there was a lot to take in and I did not read the instructions carefully, but I thought it worked pretty well. It is definitely difficult, but I think that is the point. After I learned I could drop boxes at the truck, I was able to do much better. The controls are a bit unwieldy, perhaps due to over-sensitivity. I think if you toned them down a bit and gave it a bit of polish you would have an excellent entry. It is good as it is though. Thumbs up on the audio in particular.
Very nice game. Now all of us can feel like that mans which has to go shoping with their wifes or girlfriend haha. But field of view at start is too small for me.
A good idea! The controls and the screen tilting is a problem, though, as others have said. The music and sound design was great - the best I've seen so far in LD40!
I liked the humor of it and the artwork was fantastic! :-) The camera movement was a bit much and I felt like the "sweetie" moved too fast. Overall though I enjoyed your game
Cool game. I really like this project I like this voice for example "muerteee" :D It is Spanish, right?
A initial levels are little too difficult And there was no minimap where there are these things Maybe you'll try to add a minimap? And please, add more maps :D
