[REQUIRES GAMEPAD]

In kappetalize you play as a hobo trying to earn some sweet sweet cash! Because you can't have a life without money. Collect money from various items in the town, or rob the civilians. Be careful tho, the police does not tolerate violence.
Deposit your money into the bank before the timer runs out. The hobo with the most money in the bank when the time ends win.
The 3 of us set out to make a fun, crazy party game where the goal was for homeless people with no "life" to get one by becoming rich. We spent a lot of our time fixing the physics, particle effects, sounds and creating an “alive” world for the players to interact with, while our simple graphical design made it easy for us generate a lot of assets to place in the world.
We had a lot of fun over these last couple of days and we are all very happy with the result and the amount of polish we managed to create in this relatively short amount of time.
The game supports 1-4 players using controllers (btw unitys input system for multiple controllers sucks)

* Start - skip cutscene, join game, start game (after everyone has joined), Restart (when game has ended)
* A - Jump
* X - Punch
* Left Stick - control character
* Right Stick - control camera

Remember, money is heavy! With a big bag of cash you will become very slow. But you also hit harder!

Please try it out, even if you play it alone it is a lot of fun! And watch out for the cars on the road, they hit hard….And fast

Hilarious opening montage and nice graphics. Walking felt a bit sluggish but interesting concept. Keep up the good work.

I could play alone, but actually, after that amaaaaazing intro, I'm way to pumped to check this out with friends to prematurely spoil any surprises. I'm hyped! You'll hear from me.

Another multiplayer game with beautiful graphics. Great job guys.

Looks cool! Pity I can't play it without gamepad.

This is amazing, so much character! Saving this to play with some buddies. I remember couch co-op with 4 pads being a nightmare to setup, when I did a similar thing ages ago. Well done my dudes.

This is genius! I'm playing alone, but I can see how it would be a whole load of fun with some friends... The physics are a little buggy - I managed to ragdoll up in the air and land behind the bank and couldn't get out for a while... but actually I think in multiplayer couch play this just adds to the fun. Really enjoyed this - are you continuing development?

I gotta get some friends to play this with, super fun! Ragdoll physics are always a great source of humor

Really funny game. I'm amazed you managed to integrate multiplayer. Though I'm not sure if it really fits with the theme. Also the graphics are great, specifically the opening cutscene is AMAZING!

This looks so cool! I loved the trailer, the look and feel are so fun. Sadly on my laptop without a controller so I wasn't able to launch the game, but I tried. (generic x-input error). Either way, based on the presentation and other comments, you guys clearly pulled off a great game.

Funny)
I did not immediately understand that I had to play on a gamepad.

@vertuga32 Changed the description to make it more clear it requires a gamepad :) Thanks for the feedback.

Amazing job guys!!! First game I've played from this jam, great way to kick off the live stream!!!

Successfully lured a tailing cop into the street and got him run over by an armoured car, which then dropped all its money. 10/10 would be a dangerous money-grabbing hobo again.

I LOL'd hard. The animations. All the artwork. The movement. LOL. Just the camera doesn't work well (it rotates the opposite way compared to 3rd person games). All my colleagues (at an AAA studio) were pretty impressed. Jättebra job, killar!

Such an awesome game! It's a perfect couch game to play with friends, which you don't see a lot, so great job!

@pcmaster Tack! We are students reading our final year of Master in game and software engineering in Blekinge, Sweden. So it means a lot hearing that people in the industry are impressed with our game
lidborn2 May 2019, 10:20
@pcmaster Thanks a lot! A nicer compliment is hard to find

What you can improve:
* add cpu when you play alone
* add multiplayer on internet
* refactor the control movement, I was not comfortable with that and so I lose a bit fun

I had only two problems:
- Movement is slow and boring and too clunky even for this game type.
- The cop glitched out and was flying around the map.

Love to see this release as a full game with different maps.
