Mine record :D My optimal strategy was to just collect bugs and not return the tongue cause I will lose precious time. Overall cool short game,really love the "Amanita Design"-like art design. (If you want your game played, just give ratings to others :D )
Super nice handdrawn graphics! Also the animation of the thounge is nice! The game itself is quite easy once u figure out to just spam the left mouse click and only right click when you have a lot of stuff sticking to you. Some more levels would be nice, only saw 2.
Like the art and sound so much ♥️ So nice that you included the tutorial in the game.
I couldn't reach the places behind the triangle obstacles, I did it only once and accidentally. It would be nice to have a bit more control over the tongue and still have randomness to keep it fun.
This game was a fever dream, and I don't really know what I was experiencing.. except that I thoroughly enjoyed it and played it till the levels repeated! Thanks for making this :)
@aret24 What a great record ! This is one of the best strategy indeed haha ! Thank you very much for the reference,we also love Amanita Design :'D !(and also the tip given !)
I would've loved to be able to reach a lot deeper with the anteater tongue, with maybe a mechanic where you have to balance going deep against retracting the tongue (to prevent insects from escaping ? or to relieve the weight of the insects ?)
Nice work, really like the music and art which works really well together. Gameplay is simple but the style is the focus and it's a real stand-out from the games I've played so far. Great game!
Loved the hand drawn feel. The music was a bit clipped in places but fun and atmospheric. I thought it could do with a bit more variation though as it was a bit monotomous. Maybe have it tied to the timer so you can tell when you are running out of time
This is some very unique art!! The interpretation of the theme is incredibly original, you did a great job!!! THe main thing I found weird was understinading the tongue at first, making it a fully connected rope could help with that. Super original idea!! And your first JAM ever!! WOW that's amazing!! Congrats!!
@hidjy Hi! Thank you very much ! Your ideas to improve it are really interesting, we'll keep it in mind ! (we had few options like those but as the time ran out we wanted to focus on releasing something at least playable, but how cool would it be to have all those new things haha !)
@felixmreeve Hi !! We're so delighted to know you enjoyed it, thank you so so much
Nice short game, but I have problem with the fonts (a bit hard to read), the bouncing mechanics was too fast for me to control at first, but I eventually get a hold of it. I wish you could have extended the level 😄 Overall it fits the art and the mood were beautiful, but maybe you can use a vertical perspective to fit the theme "deeper" more, the tongue mechanics was promising but has few opportunities to shine.
Good game ^^ It's original drawing. It could be interesting to limit the number of captured insects. Sometimes when I click to much the tongue is crossing the walls. Otherwise great start for you first jam, thank you for your game :)
Played a few rounds and got to about 35k points pretty often. The graphic style is pretty unique and a welcome change to the average entry. The music does also help to get me in the right mood for this game. Some of the levels felt unbeatable before I understood that I can press even after the tongue is already on it's way. I was expecting more of a minigolf like control.
To me it looks like the gameplay and controls should fit the mobile platforms well, may you should try exporting your game to Android.
did u smoke anything while doing the art? heh, I love it. the randomness for the level seems to play a huge factor in doing high score. played for a while, enjoyed it while it lasted. really nice effort for your first jam. congrats!
The visuals are quite trippy - so cool :)! The tongue controls seemed a bit wonky - it didn't always go where I would think it will go. But the game is a nice bit of fun nonetheless. The music fits the overall atmosphere nicely.
I liked the variations in levels, it definitely made replaying more interesting. Overall, it's a fine jam job.
I really like the art style, and the music fits the game perfectly. The gameplay itself is also quite fun despite it's simplicity, I enjoyed bouncing my tongue around and building up a massive clump of bugs. If you were to extend this it would be nice to have some more challenges - obstacles that knock some of the bugs off your tongue, for example, and maybe some powerups to collect.
Possibly the highest score in this game yet!? I love the aesthetics of the game and the main mechanic is fun to use. Really impressive work for your first game jam. Congrats on making something so compelling! It would be fun to make the R click have some sort of impact on the players decision making (maybe it scores only when it comes back to the ant eaters mouth). Sometimes the spawning of the cute bugs is inside of the collision barrier of the bouncy and sticky barrier which makes it impossible to get if they get in there, for the player this feels a little frustrating. One way to stop this is to make a collision check when the bug spawns and don't spawn it in case its inside the barrier, I hope that helps! Congrats again
