|+ The whole concept, crowdsurfing, a great idea in itself but you executed it so well with the super charming art and atmosphere.
|+ Seeing the enthusiastic crowd grow as more people enter and you motivate them is a great site.
|+ The addition of little things like the fun sparks when the pogo meter was high enough.
|- It wasn't entirely clear how the score/pogo meter increased or what could be done to improve it (across multiple attempts I would get the highest pogo meter at the beginning/with the fewest people).
? A really great and fun entry. It might have been nice to instead have you recover stamina by crowdsurfing instead of the beer to integrate that more, but regardless even if I couldn't see any strategy or means to intentionally gain a higher score, I really enjoyed my time with it, awesome work :)!
The game is well polished, and the idea is original, fun, and uplifting!
The art is very good, and the music clearly suits the game very well. The beer pickup sound was a little annoying, but weighing that against the good elements it's no big issue.
In conclusion: \m/
Thanks for the game <3
I didn't feel a lot of motivation to get score and didn't entirely understand all the mechanics of the game. But I felt that even without a motivation for score it was really fun to just play around with trying to build a giant ball of people bouncing while crowdsurfing through them. Art was perfect.
Great work!
Keep up the good work! :)
The good thing, you crowdsurf and pogo around to animate the crowd. It actually feels awesome and it makes me want to go to a concert right now.
Graphics were cute and polished, and the rock tune was catchy, very fitting.
A bit confused as to what the strategy would be. At first I was just hanging out up by the stage, but then I realized that people started leaving for the corners, and figured my job was to run around down there, as they seemed to run back towards the stage once I got them Pogoing. Also, does the crowd surfing give points? Or was that just a way to get out of a tight spot?
Good Job!
It felt so good to get the people to the dance floor and do the crowdsurfing :D
Very cool polished game. I had a lot of fun playing it! :)
Graphics are also very neat. The only thing is I'm not sure that I agree with the choice of music: It wasn't engaging enough I think. Still, that was a very solid game! Good job!
This would take a crazy amount of effort, but if the band got more intense the better you did, that would be awesome.
