Raccoon Rumpus!

Fun game, though its kinda hard to find the garbage cans and its pretty dark

Really fun, well done on this! I like the idea of collecting trash as a racoon and running from dogs, you did this really well. The graphics were excellent too. Really good game!

Had a fun time playing it, good job! Me and my teammate also wanted to make a game about garbage and raccoon, nice to see that someone else actually did it!

Low poly is goot when u no have time, gj

Love the vibe of this game so fun!!

Love raccoons
The grafics has a special vibe too

Nice game! Nothing really to say just solid game loop, concept, graphics and execution :)

Raccoon jump animation was adorable! I managed to find 20 trash cans, are there extras or is the goal to find all of em? Either way cool spooky(?) raccoon game!

The Oof really hits hard when you're at 19/20 trash. Great game, my dodging skills just weren't good enough

very cute, I love racoons, but I have no idea how to outrun the dogs, they keep getting me :(

I like this game! Always wanted to be a raccoon rummaging for trash. Those dogs are straight out of CoD zombies. Scary. Love it. Love the glowing eyes on the player raccoon too. Sounds effects were nice. And I love the 3d main menu.

Heres a tip from a fellow Godot dev: use UI anchors. The main menu doesn't move correctly when the window is resized.

I liked the game design of bushes to hide in and holes to run through the escape the dogs. The dogs are a bit too fast though for my liking.

Also really liked the animations. Procedural animation?

Thanks for the lovely words!

@arianaraine Try hiding in a bush, the dogs can't get you there :)

@adrien-tremblay Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback and tip! It was our first time using Godot for a bigger project and knowing that you need to Anchor the UI would have certainly been helpful :D I Playtesting almost exclusively in the editor where I never resize the window, can easily obfuscate such issues.

The animations are all hand made, except for the one where you jump into a bush, that just wiggles the model a bit in the player's direction.

@electric-sun Well done! No there are no extras beyond the 20 trash cans, but with the timer in the top right, you can try to optimize your run and be the fastest raccoon out there.

Nice game , it fun to play! Love the Racoon!!

Love your graphics! I wasn't able to unrun the dogs :D But still I had a lot of fun playing your game!

Very cute, I would have increased the walking/running animation speed by a little bit ? The racoon feels a little slow, maybe by doubling or tripling the animation speed it would make it feel a bit more energetic!
Game is smooth and responsive, UI is funny, getting trash is fun. Destroying already found trash cans would have been great as well.

Congratulations !

Thank you all!

@gorglomux Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately we did not realise how hard it may be to locate trash cans when you already looted a good chunk of them until late into development and shortly before submission deadline. Lesson learned: play your own game start to finish and not just specific debug builds. I agree with you on the animation speed, but we also think this way the racoon has a bit of a sly and sneaky way of walking, which we liked a lot. Thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot to us and thank you trying our game!

Really fun ^^

I like how animals have glowing eyes

Very fun game, my personal highlight is the jump animation. One thing that was quite difficult is getting away from the dog in the open field, could not break LOS long enough. Cute sounds though!

Nice and smooth gameplay and a good idea. My only complaint is how big the level is, I would say either make it smaller or add more hazards besides the guard dogs (like cars, pest control, other raccoons etc.).
Also I love the raccoon jumping animation

10 OOF / 10

Pretty simple but well executed ! It's funny !

Fun game, nice art style and cool concept!

the art is wonky in some places but it lends a goofy charm to the whole thing. lovely atmosphere!

Nice graphics

there are not enough effects

The dogs are just spooky enough to create tension but not too much to break the cozy vibe of being a cute lil raccoon, had a blast great job!

We stan Racoon Rumpus! My first run I fell through the floor once and fell endlessly lol I think it would be nice to include some kind of bait to distract the dogs. Some dogs would stand by the trash cans making them take a while to access. Also, the game's kinda lonely. If there was a way to implement more raccoons, somehow. Maybe a crew or back up of some kind, that would be totally epic.

Aw I got oof'ed :(

Simple game made a lot better by the fact that it's really fun to roleplay as a trash-stealing raccoon, I like to imagine my tiny paws ripping the bags open and looking for canned fish and trinkets. The models are awesome and it all looks very nice. Great work!

I did fall through the map at one point, though I feel that's just part of raccoon life

Thank you all once more for the kind words, they mean a lot and we are definitely taking lots of notes from your feedback for the next Ludum Dare!

It's a very interesting game, but I didn't understand how to dig through the trash.

I love the cute sound it makes when it gets chased down! Although, when I zoom in the screen, the title isn't centered, and the mouse sensitivity is a bit too high，but i love it！

Had a blast playing! I agree that remembering which trash cans you've looted on such a big level became kind of hard, since naturally there's only so many identifiable landmarks you can get done in time. Maybe just having the trash can tipped over would've been a quick solution that wouldn't require extra art.

I dug the night time atmosphere and the dogs. This neighborhood sure loves their dogs. Ran well, had fun, got lucky and didn't get swallowed up by the void, great stuff!

@dankotay The control scheme is WASD to move and F to dig through the trash.

@nondev We agree that adding a visual marker for dug through trash would have helped. This goes definitely in our mental notes for a future game jam!

This was fun. I really enjoyed running around as a raccoon :D Really nice take on the theme. Great job!

Realy fun and enjoying game! Thanks!

Great game, it's fun, I really liked the graphics

Really fun! love raccons:)

This game has much trash, but not the atmosphere. Well done!

I love racoons

@nomus Same?!

love it!! very intersting to play,the racoon is very enjoyable to control, like a race car, though the dogs are a little hard to lose haha

I really love this spooky character design! I think we can continue developing the UI design. There are some elements in the middle that I didn’t expect—they’re so much fun!

I had a great time! A very interesting game!

Such an incredibly fun and cute game!! I absolutely adore it!

Loved the silly little jump animation! It was so fun to zoom around and bait the dogs away from trash cans. This racoon should consider a job in racing.

The simplistic graphics actually work in favor of the game, this was really fun and enjoyable! The silly sounds, the goofy jump and actually kinda compelling stealth aspect. Would love to see more, maybe the something like the sound alerting the dogs of your trash digging. Otherwise great job!

Nice game!✨️👾

Incredible masterpiece! I enjoyed riding dogs

Very cute game! :slight_smile: I love the sound racoon makes, when he gets caught :laughing:

I only wish you've made a more clear indication which trash can has already been emptied. It gets reaaly hard to remember which ones you haven't collected near the end, especially after multiple tries :sweat_smile:

Love raccoons, so funny game. Maybe location is too big, many empty spaces.

Kinda sus to get just an .exe and nothing else, but at least it didn't throw any warnings about trojans. Short and simple, maybe could've used some gimmick to spice up the gameplay a little. Unlike in many other games of this type, the enemies could actually catch up. Surprisingly many just leave them too slow.

@6knowledge Sorry not sure what you mean here. If you look through other entries on Ludum Dare, all builds that you have to run locally (as in: non web builds) are just executables you have to run. We were not able to provide a web build due to issues with mouse capture, and decided to rather have a good Windows/Linux build than a broken web build.
Regarding catch up: the enemies do actually catch up to you if you just run in a straight line. They start with a slower base speed but increase steadily beyond the players speed to provide a meaningful challenge.

Thanks for playing and I hope you had fun!

@b0guslaw About the .exe, what I meant was that most other games provide a folder where the executable exists with other stuff. Yes, it is possible to provide only the .exe but it just looks weird when there are no other folders / files. And on the speed, I meant that as a positive for this game, other games don't usually have that. Probably just came out wrong, but that happens.

"a horror game with chasing mechanism" XD

A very funny game with a cool raccoon, well done!

I love the silly character animations!

A cool raccoon collects trash from bins. The game is simple, but it has a nice level design, and there are even bushes you can hide in. The raccoon's sound is a little funny. For some reason, when I jumped, it reminded me of jumping on a skateboard :)

Nice idea! The animation of the raccoon jumping is just hilarious

Some things that could be improved:
- it really feels like the raccoon is sliding instead of walking. There is some timing mismatch between the walk animation and the speed at which it moves
- the camera could use some love. Being able to see the raccoon from under its feet doesn't really help and actually makes things worse when you are in a rush to run away from the dog

Overall it's a pretty nice entry, grats!

@tanis Thank you for playing and giving us some good feedback, I agree with all your points :)

Love the raccoon animations - would love to see more development of the trash collecting mechanic, if the little guy pulls the lid off and spins around inside throwing the trash out to find food etc.

Great job! Definitely worth doing more with post-jam!

Didn't get any screenshots mid-game as I got oofed too quick :sob:

Lots of dog related jump-scares!

@johnnysix Thank you for the kind words and thanks for trying out our game!

I love raccoons so much, this game is great just for that haha, good work!
