I like that kind of game where you should balance. But controls is quite hard at first time, as other people said. And I can't really understand where should I fly and what to do with bananas and black fruits.
@interpol, thanks. We should have explain better, but in our defense a description is on the page ;) Still this is something for us to remember next time
I'm a big fan of swinging games so I liked this game. The control is a little finicky though. I would have liked if you could swing back and forth with a little more power, and moving up and down on the rope was really inconsistent. Also, if you had made an animation for the swinging monkey, even if it was just a static pose it would have really made this a more complete package. .I love the paint brush style for the monkeys. Not really sure how this game fit the theme, I guess in that the more fruit you have the harder it is to hold all of it?
Hey guys! This is the best game I’ve played so far. I’ve spent a good 30+ minutes because of several reasons, first of all I like the game as i told you but this is so addicting. I really want to get those 20 eggplants/bananas but it’s real hard.
Anyways the graphics looks reeeeeeaaaally good, i love it. I spent like 5 minutes just looking at the character dancing in the titlescreen.
Concerning the audio, the music was cool it reminded me of the plant vs zombies soundtracks somehow.
Overall I LOVE this game very much. I had an amazing time playing it. And I’m definitely going back to play this game tomorrow. Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!
Nice intro haha ! Really loved the graphics, sounds and voice ! Cool effect when clicking on option or play, but maybe, it yould have ben better if buttons where on the sheet itself instead of popping a menu ? Concerning the game, i thought it was too hard and i experienced some bugs with the rope (sometime i was attracted very fast). I was also frustred with the fact we can't walk, even a little.
Looking at the video the swinging looks so easy, but I couldn't get the hang of it. I either retracted too fast or swung to rapidly to lose any fruit I had. I did managed to jump around in the air a fair amount by jumping on the actual fruit I had gathered - I don't think it's designed to allow that though? =) I love floating islands so that part I enjoyed.
This is fantastic! Well done on the narrative elements in the beginning. The gameplay could be more responsive although it is definitely on the right track. Keep up the good work.
It really took me quite some time to get how to play ! There could be work on the gameplay, to get it to be more accessible/fluid/easy, in accordance with the light tone of the game ! What I really liked was the sound and especially the music (reminding me of the great Banjo-Kazooie), as well as the tone of the game, and the intro cinematic, that builds up the game !! Well done, you could very well continue your work and polish the game mechanics, it would be really cool ^^ GG and go see our game ;-) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/the-darkest-light
I loved the art, loved the sound, the idea was really good. As many others, I also had trouble with the controls. Retracting the rope just the right amount was really difficult. I also died a few times where I'm not sure I hit anything at all.
Oh, and the intro gave the game a really luxurious feel :)
I really like the level graphics, so cute :) And the fact that you made an intro to explain a story is also very cool. Anyway, one thing I've noticed is lack of "swinging" animation, which is quite funny btw.

Music and sound were nice too
Take care of the controls too ;)
The music is good, funny and relaxing.
Wish we had time to do something like that for our game.
Controls were a bit wonky, but a fun game nonetheless!
