Interesting HR breakout. I like the graphics.

Not really sure if there is an end goal so i played until around 35k points, pretty fun gameplay and really cute graphics, tho the sounds were kinda annoying

Now this is just ridiculous. Who ever heard of a rabbit designing video games? Poppycock! Expect a strongly-worded letter in the mail.
In all seriousness, this is kind of a neat game. Sort of a strange, ever-changing game of breakout. I'd suggest giving a bit more space for the gameplay though, it feels a little bit cramped as is.

:laughing: I have no idea what's going on in this game, but it's a nice version of breakout. Well done!

An interesting take on breakout, I like the art! Unfortunately most of the time it was a little chaotic for me and I didn't really know what I was doing - in the end I even won somehow though :P

I love the japanese voices and the anime style special moves :D perfection - Min'na ganbatte!

Hilarious game! I'm not sure I understood what I was doing but I won :laughing:
Generally the concept of hitting the wall closest to the character to make them more effective is pretty clear. But it's hard to see what's going on with them as I was focused on the lower part of the screen. And I didn't remember the meaning of the icons so it was as if there is just 1 type of icon. As I think they are kinda doing the same thing?
Anyway it was fun ^__^

I appreciate your game loop! Despite the lengthy instructions, I can directly get to the game with the simple mechanics. The rabbits are also cute btw!

Really cute! I like the art a lot, and the visual flair was phenomenal. That being said, I think the game was a bit too hectic to really care or notice the different kinds of blocks. I just mentally lumped them all under "if I hit a block, I'll boost my morale."

すごいですね！
たくさん楽しかったです。キャラクターデザインはかわいかったですそして音楽はよかったです。

Fun take on breakout, having the special moves be tied to hitting the top in certain areas was a good idea. I feel like there should be more of a penalty for having bricks pile up, I felt it was safe to ignore an employee for a while to just boost a single one.

TheGamerASD7 Oct 2021, 13:03

Cool game, I like the idea.

EstellaD7 Oct 2021, 14:55

The gameplay is so addictive and easy to understand. Like a real game company :P

Furfel7 Oct 2021, 16:26

Absolutely funny, especially the sounds but also that "can be solved by (HR)"

I didn't fully understand the essence of the game, but it was interesting and fun for me.

Mathiouza8 Oct 2021, 00:46

It was cool, but I think it lacks a way to loose? SFX was a bit odd too ("shoo shoo shoo" x) )

Other than that, the core gameplay is well implemented and the art is cute and works well.

Great job!

JoshuaRabbitauthor8 Oct 2021, 01:25

@mathiouza Thank for playing. For the way to lose, if three rabbits are on strike it will lose（though this version is a bit easy and it is hard to lose）.For the SFX, I try to create them by mouth（pa and shoo）, it maybe better if I reduce the frequency. Thank for your advice!

MaxguN9 Oct 2021, 20:55

That's a fun game. I must admit I had some trouble understanding what was going on even though I read the instructions, I think the scale for the game is a bit too big and the ball goes too fast to take time to process what's happening.

I find your take on the theme very well done and overall I had fun so very well done! :thumbsup:
