A true power move, to hold the player hostage like this. I definitely laughed.
this was quite frustrating haha
I'll take that as a compliment!
How much control did i have? little. How much patience did i have.... little... hahahahaha. It was a good laugh :)
Don't fret, you're not the only one. My complete lack of patience is what inspired this game.
I had no control in this situation, i just had to watch it all. Good job.
That is the idea :) glad you liked it.
Laughed right from start, almost to the end. I just wish the music had gone crazier with time, but still, that was great!
Oh dang, that would've been cool. Glad you liked it!
Wow this is great, what makes it even greater is that you used pre existing audio. I like to think that this took you the entire jam and you didn't have time to make a song anymore.
Haha yeah, completely ran out of time. The character models took forever, and don't get me started on the difficulties of that entrance animation. I finished with only 40 hours spare.
Really funny game, good work!
Thanks!
Absolutely hilarious! This is a concept that is funny just describing it: "There was this one game in the jam that made you sit through a child's recital by holding down space bar" hahaha well done. Curious: I saw in the previous comments you generated the music? is this something you did in the game engine itself?
Also here's the game I did audio for if you wanted to check it out, thanks! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/696287#post-1639104
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I made this game in Scratch, which has some instrument sounds built in. The "music" is basically random notes that are somewhat close to each other with a larger jump here and there. It's not exactly sophisticated, it just added to the "sub-par child recital" feel I was going for.
Gotcha, well you captured the cringy-ness well!
I thought I was being funny with my flappy derpy mouth game. But here comes indigoninja, 1 entire day before the deadline and makes something funnier than I could have dreamed of. To you sir, madam or other, I take my hat off.
Dang, that made my day. Thank you so much!
Totally get that the challenge is how long you can hold the spacebar, but it makes it kind of inaccessible for certain machines or, potentially for people with certain motor disabilities. The lack of variety is a factor there too. If you go further with it, maybe have it be kind of a "simon says" type thing? So the button you have to hold/release changes periodically?
Sweet music!!! It's very realistic in terms of watching a recital, it's like hold spacebar to stay awake!!! A+++ Love those graphics too!
Thanks! I randomly generated the music myself so that's very high praise.
I'm sorry, but this is boring
I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately your enjoyment is out of my control. Hope you find something more fun.
You just didn't know how to play!
