Ludum Dare #47compo
Knock, knock... Boooooo
Knock, knock...
Honestly, I didn't think I'd be joining this Ludum Dare. Thankfully, I was able to carve out a few hours on Sunday to piece this micro 'game' together. Knock, knock... Boooooo is what you get when you have less than 5 hours to create a Jam game.
Relive your childhood with this classic knock, knock joke. Can you break out of the loop? Do you want to break out of the loop?!? Yeah, you probably do. Be patient and I'm confident you can succeed!

Developer Notes:
Overall, in 5 hours I'm happy with what I've accomplished. Is Knock, knock... Boooooo an instant classic? Probably not. But, if nothing else, it shows the power of quality development tools. In just a few hours, I was able to cobble something together that isn't too terrible.
I learned some new (to me) Unity techniques, made my first Shader Graph shader, and brought a new game into the world... I'd call that a win! I'm looking forward to checking out everyone's submissions :)

104 seconds to break out the loop :sunglasses:
Very weird but funny !
It lacked gameplay but it was too short to get bored :wink:
This is actually a running joke in my house with my kids (although we do banana and orange). So now the kids come up to me and say knock knock. When I say who's there and they say banana I just glare at them and they laugh.
I really loved the music and the way that the green cubes disappear. Cool stuff.
Good luck & I hope to see you again in the next jam! ^^
@nethead - Glad I could make you laugh. Thanks for playing!
@tulipekoni - Mission accomplished! Thanks for playing!
@apbakeware - Thanks for playing and for the color blind feedback! The orange square does have an "O" written on it to make it stand out a bit more.
@wakobu - Thanks for playing! The game definitely doesn't have much replayability :laughing:
@fabdynamic - Thanks for playing and the feedback!
@minibobbo - LOL! I apologize for robbing you of 114.89 seconds of your life :wink: Banana and Orange are most certainly the classic duo for this joke. But, drawing a banana is far more time consuming than drawing a square :laughing: Also, it's fantastic to hear that this 'joke' is still alive and well in today's youth! Thanks for playing and for the feedback.
@dudum-lare - Thanks for playing and the feedback! Truth be told, green was a late addition to the game. To the point that @minibobbo made, the original color was yellow to represent the classic banana/orange version of the joke (though, I still had no intention of drawing a banana). The yellow and orange squares were a bit too similar in color for my (slightly) color blind eyes. Thus, green stepped up to the plate!

It has a pleasant style. Good that you didn't drag it out too much.
I would have liked being able to pick a green block a bit earlier before they all settled down, but that's not a big issue, really
@lyje - Thanks! If I had more time, there may have been some extra time to make it into a more proper game with maybe a puzzle aspect or two :)
