You Shouldn't have taken that love potion! Now the whole town wants to take you for their own. If too many of them manage to grab you, you'll be crushed under the weight. Luckily, if you're disgusting enough, it will break the spell.
Get the cans of beans to gain gas to fart away your pursuers!
##How to play: Use the arrow keys to run around town and find cans of beans. Press space to fart off any people attached to you. 6 people attached will cause you to be crushed! Clear the town to win (or go to new game+, where the suitors get speedier).

Notes
This is my second Ludum Dare entry, and things went a lot better than the first, but still not as smooth as I would have liked. I definitely need more practice, but I'm happy with how everything turned out, despite it not being particularly amazing.
Funny idea, good difficulty level. I didn't realize I could fart before the fartmeter was full, that cost me a few tries :) I would've loved to see ragdoll fysics on the people who got attached to me, but that's just eyecandy. More importantly, I needed a meter to know how many people could get attached to me before I got crushed.
Thanks @bart-huylebroeck ! I actually spent waaayyy too long trying to get the ragdoll physics to work, but I couldn't make it happen, so I scrapped it, unfortunately. The people meter and explaining that you can fart before a full meter are both ideas I wish I though of :)
Thanks @vizitas ! I thought about a second chaser of some sorts, but couldn't put together any ideas that I thought I would be able to implement in time :(
Great idea! You managed to fit the theme, create a fun game and make it playable without (as far as i noticed) having bugs or a broken game. Well done! I liked the simple animations and the simple artstyle aswell as the sound effects. However I did not like the sont since I don't, personally, think it fits the game. 7/10
I really enjoyed the experience and laughed several times. It's a really relaxing and funny game. :)
I didn't know that you can fart, and when I farted by accident hitting space, I laughed even louder. But it seems to be a core gameplay mechanic. I tried it again and I'm not sure what you can do with the farts. Will try again. And I guess the pathfinding is A* with dynamic updated waypoints. I really like it.
The visuals and music were pretty chill and the gameplay was laid back but is it wrong to wish that a game mostly about farting would have more depth to it? :grinning:
Funny game, it's an interesting idea to fart away the pursurers.
The chasers are not posing a serious threat though, I would recommend to make some chasers to do a tackle towards player when get near to make player more aware of the surrondings.
Had a lot of fun playing this on stream. Had some laughs from the farting. I only hope that you recorded your own farts for the sound lol.
I only did new game+ twice, but the ones chasing didn't feel like they were going any faster than before. Not sure if it's a gradual increase in speed on each NG+ you do or not.
@manbeardgames I'm glad you liked it, but I'm sorry I missed you play it on stream (had to sleep at some point, unfortunately). I kind of hastily put the newgame+ mode in about 20 minutes before deadline so I didn't get time to balance it properly, and just went with numbers that felt right, but I think you're correct in that it's not enough of an increase.
Nice work! The art, animation, and music are very nice, and the sound effect for the "sudden interest" was cracking me up. Of course the fart was a pleasure to behold.
Controls felt smooth, and game was mostly clear except I did play one game assuming left click was fart and I had to fill the meter before using it, dunno why.
Nice short play length was right on point to showcase without overstaying the welcome. Impressive amount and quality of 3d assets for a solo-compo, too.

UPDATE:
I did it! I am really disgusting. New Game+.
I realized the music is fundamental for the relaxing feel of this game, so it would be good, if it would loop.
Cool game. I like the way chasing mechanic is implemented, taking sharp corners pays off.
Good job!
@lawrence Thanks! I'm happy with how the chasing came out. A little bit slippery, but I think it works
@josefnpat Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
@abilean Hhaha, yea, they definitely get quick! Thanks for playing!
(BTW, Loved your entry!)

The farts are just from my mouth :( haha
