fun beat em up, some of the toys seemed a bit indistinguishable from the background really liked the accessible controls

A game that's super stress-relieving to play!
RRRReally fun! The soundtrack is also quite interesting.
When under a lot of stress, you just feel like randomly kicking someone over! (Of course, this can't be done in real life.)

I had time first to know what to collect but when got it then it was fun. Some issues to run game directly here and to re-focus on scoreboard input field after taking focus away from it. Also once stuck on a shelf without way to release myself. Overall polished style and clear goal!

Pretty fun but game has problems with inverted WASD movement
LizzieAauthor8 Oct 2025, 06:00
@basic-eagles Thank you for your feedback! Yes we made the choice to rotate the movement to match the isometric environment. It can be a bit tricky to handle so you also have the option to play with your mouse

love the doodle art style!!! time count down makes the whole game so exciting:) maybe could add more people getting in the way, my way to collect the figurines is so smooth, I bet it would be more fun if there are more obstacles. overall, good game, love it

The art and animations are great! The isometric layout took a little getting used to with wasd, but not too much. By the end I was just PUNCHING.

Cute blitz of a game, although the colliders could use some work given the isometric perspective.

@hexyvexy Thank you for playing the game! Yes the colliders in this perspective were challenging for us. We didn't succeed to do exactly what we wanted but we learned a lot :smile:

I like the artstyle, but controls are a bit unintuitive in the perform, but tutorial is original and simple, good job!

The art is gorgeous! Everything fits together harmoniously and looks very stylish. The only thing that slightly breaks the immersion is the technical side, a bit rough around the edges, but should be easy to polish. The objective is clear, and kicking people is very satisfying. Great game!

Good job! I like the art. Overall the challenge was mostly in finding the figurines and there wasn't a lot of need to actually fight anyone. I sort of wish there was more challenge with the other customers. I like the end screen art and the sort of paper doll style in the game. It was a clever way to get a lot of character into the game.

@diralf Thanks for your feedback. We're gladd that you liked it!

@bryceltaylor Thanks for your comment! It's true that the customers don't try to block you but punching them give you more points at the end ;)

Love the style here, the art & music combine for such a whimsical vibe! My favorite part is the muscled fist that absolutely demolishes all who stand in the way of obtaining these definitely not copyright characters. As others have said, it'd be cool to have some added challenge with the customers! Great work!

It's a very simple and enjoyable game. I loved it. Plus, you can just hit people, even if they're not in your way 😊 It also has really cool art.
I hope you'll continue to improve it; some animations would be great. Good luck!

By the way, if you like games with a slightly strange and surreal atmosphere, you can also check out our game 🥴
