Ludum Dare #51compo
Bunny is going places
this screenshot pretty much describes how to play the game:
- WASD to select the direction to jump to next - ideally select the spawned platform
- hover with your mouse over the vegetable that's displayed at the bottom of the screen
- fail one or the other and you loose a carrot (it is used to create a new platform)
- fail when out of carrots, and you return to where you started
- succeed enough times (counter at the bottom right of the screen), and you go places
this is what it looks like
the embeded version was made post-compo and has a few fixes:
- fixed two typos
- changed one gameobject sprite sorting layer
- game doesn't reset after the ending anymore, since it would bug out
- fixed the bugged bird positioning
+ added a "story mode" - this is a LD thing - in case you want to review the game quickly, this is an easy mode to see the whole story. it's the same game, it just starts with three variables set differently.

Wow, this is very polished for a compo game! Love the art, animation and music. My brain really struggled with the multitasking in the beginning, but eventually i got the hang of it hehe. great job!

Omg the music ! I was dancing during all my playthrough ! I loved the take on the theme, I relate to the struggle x) The difficulty went up way to fast for me personnally but it was ok because it was interesting to see how I quickly learned to deal with it. Like at the begining, I was so bad, yet at the end, my eyes/hands coordination was so quick ! And I am not even talking about the fact that my hands were both doing different things ! Humans are crazy. Anyway... Awesome game ! And omg hot bunny was so hot !

Okay I actually laughed out loud. :D
The game is so simple yet challenging, and perfectly implemented. I'd like to have that kind of idea once in a while, and have enough time to publish a polished game too :D
Music and visuals are gorgeous, everything feels perfectly consistent. I only feel like it was missing some additional "crazyness" that could have come from more sound effects. Also, I would have loved a voice over for the "Bunny is going places" line!
The level of polish is incredible. Awesome entry. Good job!
(Just so you know there is still one typo in one of the final texts - "guess" is written "gues")

This game is deceptively difficult in a very good way. On paper the mechanics seem super simple but it's a challenge of hand-eye coordination when you actually start to play that's implemented perfectly. When the player loses it never feels like the game cheated them but rather that they misplayed.
Like others have pointed out, the track layering on the music is super impressive and not something you usually see in an LD game and adds a really nice layer of depth to the music outside of just a simple loop, the music is also super well composed in general. The fact that everything happened exactly on beat just :weary: absolutely amazing and made the already really good background track add to the gameplay experience even more.
The graphics were really well done, super consistent and fit the lighthearted mood the game was going for perfectly.
The dialogue and little details show a really strong level of care and polish and led to a really enjoyable experience overall.
Honestly one of the best LD entries I've ever played.

People already said what's great about the game... Loved the story! So funny! That reveal from dark bunny got me laughing out loud! Good job!

I kind of have quite complicated feelings about this game.
This game is really really well polished! The art is so pretty and the music layers so well. It's so nice that The story is so absurd and meta it's really funny, I had a good laugh. I really loved the overall vibe of the game, chill and funky and just overall really pleasant!
But the gameplay kind of felt abit frustrating to me. I won't say it's a problem of the game, but rather it missing the mark for me. I think the concept of coordinating the two actions is interesting, but sometimes it felt like I failed not because I was confused but the game just didn't give me enough time. Starting the hot bunny section it just felt too fast for me, until I realised I could actually move the mouse to select the vegetable after I press the right WASD button, which at that point I felt kind of cheated and resorted to spam tapping the correct directional button and then moving my mouse after that. I won't say the gameplay is bad or poorly designed. Others have had fun with it and I can see why, but for me the frustrating parts of the game just felt too much for me.
Anyways, still a nicely made game :)

I don't want to sound rude but... is it just me, or is hot bunny pretty hot?
No, but please do be ensured: My sides are with the dark bunny by now. Incredibly funny story completely sold the game. Not that the gameplay itself wasn't awesome in its own right as well, quite to the contrary. I was overwhelmed by navigating bunny and taking the 'good' vegetable just enough so the game never stopped feeling fresh and engaging.
Fantastic game, would/ will recommend!

Everything about sound and art are exceptional, you rocked! The gameplay were very difficult to get used to, then I ended up getting a little frustrated hahaha ! But congratulations on the game, the dialogue was very fun to read!

Liked: visuals, music and setup! Lovely humour! charismatic characters!
Solah7 Oct 2022, 07:49
What a great game! Love the music and how much effort you put in the dialogues to justify that you did not take a 10 second loop. Was hilarious too!
Well done!
Well done!

This is one of those games where you want to exclaim:
- "Oh my God, I don't believe that one person did it in 2 days!"
This game has nice graphics and animations to the beat of the music. Excellent musical accompaniment. Funny story, unique mechanics! The game is polished - I didn't notice any bugs.

graphics are cute, gameplay is relatively easy but the humor is here!! the game itself is super polished. i don't know how many rabbit-seconds i spent playing, but quite a few haha

How is this a compo game? The art is super cute, the music is incredible, there is a fun and humorous story... The effects are cool, like the lava place has incredible lava... AND the core gameplay loop is tight. I really liked the fact that it kept getting harder and harder, but at a nice pace. Every time I managed to "bunny going places", I felt really good and hyped about it, very rewarding.
I have played quite a few of your past entries, but this one is my new favorite. Seriously impressive, and a ton of fun.

Bunny definitely went places. :)
What a weird little game! I liked it a lot! The graphics and humor we're absolutely the highlights for me, and I also liked the music (and the way it changes when you go to the bunny-going-places-verse), but the game could definitely use some sound effects to give more feedback to the player (unless that's also part of the bunny-going-places lore).
Good job!

Aw cute, love the art and music, really impressive work for compo!

Very, cute game. The music is super catchy, I'm sure it'll be bouncing around my head for the next few days! Really great writing, the humor really helps give it some nice polish and quality, and makes for a very memorable time.
There's a good difficulty climb here, but I think I stayed in each 'level' too long. Maybe if the level's had a bit more variety. Regardless, the mechanics are very "rub your head and pat your belly" and it was satisfying to get better at it.
I wish the theme was present a bit more, but the meta-humor makes up for most of the loss.
Great job!

Wonderful use of music, very polished and funny! Innovative mechanics, at first I had no idea what I was doing. I had to read the description to understand. Could not go back from dark bunny, way too fast for me. But I had fun, nice job!
JUSTCAMH13 Oct 2022, 13:42
Very fun game! That music is such a bop, and whilst I didn't get the mechanic initially, I quickly learnt and was beating challenges that felt insane but were perfectly beatable. Everything about this game is a vibe, love the casual story and everything bouncing around. And the ending was nice (not cringe). Awesome game! :heart:

Sorry, I couldn't understand how to play. I tried jumping on the platforms and to the indicated vegetable, but kept losing carrots. It seems that sometimes you don't have a platform to jump to and moving in the direction of a vegetable makes you lose a life. Cute sounds and graphics though!
Bogden24 Oct 2022, 19:42
Cute, fun, and great story!
Loved the presentation, but not sure how I feel about the core gameplay, haha. Great entry nonetheless, well deserved top 10 in humor!

First off, the "Bunny-Is-Going-Placesverse" Looks amazing. the screen transition is great, and the *track layering*, oh my! Everything moving to the beat is a wonderful touch, and I love the stretch-squish in the animations. Each of the "islands" look great, and I love the details, like the abacus, or Dark Bunny not dancing at the end. ha! Ah, and the bird not flapping the wings bit. I love it.
The difficulty picks up in just the perfect rate. You really nailed the difficulty curve on this game. The final level actually caught me off guard with how tough it was!
I'm a big fan of the music. I know I mentioned the track layering already, but man that slaps. Also, that bass layer? Ah, it's amazing.
Honestly, what a great game.
