rock-e.png

Adventure game about saving small world on asteroid. Hero Rock-E Blabloa is facing a difficult task of saving his home asteroid. We hope this game will make you laugh or at least smile a little, we laughed a lot. For the first time, we tried making music, voice overs and graphics so...(One programmer who can't even sign properly and game designer whose biggest achievment on field of art is stickman). Story playtime cca 10-15 minutes, but you can explore our beautiful world. Btw: More will come. Thank you and enjoy playing :)

All the stones and rocks jokes are on point i loved The Rock one lmao. The controls are super weird, why have two different buttons to interact? It was weird going from Space to Enter when you can use one for both actions as you cant do anything while talking anyway. Also the controls in the over world are inverted as you actually move the rock world not your character i found that pretty anoying. "Oh my Volcano!"

Impressive amount of content for a game jam!

The rotation being "backwards" on the overworld screen was a bit confusing, but yeah quite an impressive amount of voiced and drawn content for LD :)

Well, this game was bonkers, haha. Made me laugh a good few times. The voice overs were a bit mixed, some really quiet some really loud but they definitely added to the experience. Graphics were a bit messy but I love the way you guys made everything animate. Nice work!

This game is so funny :D, really nice graphic and voiceovers, sometimes jokes are a little bit too try hard but that's ok :P, great game, had a lot of fun playing.

Good overall game, the only issues I had playing was the backwards control on the world and the audio volume was not consistent (goes quiet in some areas and really loud in others). However, it was a fun story which I was disappointed I couldn't continue. Great job :slight_smile:

Craziest came in this jam. I suspect a lot of substances were consumed during the making of this game.

I liked the voice acting, funny game, and I'm a fan of the art style! Well done!

Well, this was fun! Very different from any other games on here - you've put a lot of thought into the dialogue! loved it! And yes - I did laugh a lot! :-) I liked that when I pressed right and went left - I like the unexpected!

@mrspeaker Thank you, our first "music" try :)

@sachos345 I thought that two buttons could prevent unexpected skipping dialogues. Sorry for inverted movement on asteroid but we found it as "funny weird" mechanics which fits the game.

@pietptr Thank you, but most of time took voiceover and "singing" :)

@max-cahill Same answer like for @sachos345 it has to be confusing :) and thank you.

@poffle We are really happy that you found it funny :). We know about bad voice volume but we just had casual gaming microphone which every time tried to reduce noise (and our voice with it) and we didn't have enought time for master every part. Last voice acting ended about 15 minutes before deadline and we still didnt have outro.

@szczebel1995 We are glad that you've enjoyed :)

@thedoodleguy Same as @sachos345 and @poffle sorry for that :). I hope we will continue on that with real graphic designer, sound designer and pro microphone (but better microphone will show our bad voice more and more :D), any feedback like this will motivate us :)

@bemmu Almost whole jam was without substances :D. Only part when we needed it was singing Kumar and Harold :D but bottle of RUM was enought :D

@officialcodenmore Oh my Volcano! Thank you! It was our first atempt to "make graphic".

@bunnery Thank you, we are genuinely happy that we've made you laugh :). Also since we lack graphic designer we had to work on something else other than graphics :D

Rock-E did it for me! I thought there was something crawling on my monitor a couple times tho... Seems like a lot of fun was had making this. Well done! I wished I could get between the houses a bit faster, but the starry background made up for that mostly :smile:

Gneiss game. The graphics are great - lots of subtle animations and details. The audio is also good. The voice acting is a nice touch and some of the dialogue is kind of funny too. It's fun walking around and interacting with stuff. I don't understand why the controls are reversed when walking between buildings, though.

Initial interaction frightened me a bit because oof the voice acting. After some time exploring the planet I got used to it and it fits the vibe of your game. Love all the movie references you put in your game, you score great on humor!

This is a really nice jam game! I like the graphics I'm quite a fan of pixel art... and 10/10 for the sound in this game ;)

Nice game. Cool that you added voice acting even if the mixing was a bit off. Graphics and the world were weird but wonderful.

Really well done, I myself am quite the fan of rock puns, you guys blew me away, really!

So much content and voice acting made my head dizzy! How did you manage to do this co fast? :D I am really impressed!
Rocky-rock jokes were really enjoyable and *singing* in shop sounded like you havee enjoyed creating the game :p Definitely one of the best entries on this edition of LD!
Only two things were a little bit frustrating: space and enter keys are a bit too far away from themselves for comfort and movement speed outside building was a bit slow. But the whole game is brilliant! Good job!

I really like the whole concept and what you implemented too. Voices are super funny and really gives a good mood to the game. The little puzzles were also very cool, I think it has potential to be a bigger game with more puzzles and things to discover. I'm also impressed about the many things you implemented, including the instruments and flowers animations, I mean... nice touch. I have two comments on how I think could be improved. First, add more feedback, it doesn't have to necessarily be animations but graphical things that let the player know that whatever he or she is doing has a clear effect. The second comment, moving from one house to another becomes a bit annoying if the character moves so slow. Overall very good game, you are crazy haha.

Very fun game with superb voice acting :P
The art also had it's charm (and the animations are great) and it's just super funny. Great job!

Great mood, and very fun to play! I love the voice acting and random jokes. Well done!

Loved the jokes and most of the voice acting (some was a bit high pitched for me). Game reminded me a bit of Space Quest which is something we don't see much anymore. Not bad little game.

You guys did a great job with world-building. I really enjoyed all of the small animations that you put into each scene, such as the flowers swaying in the wind and the rockroach in the store. Your characters were richly developed. One minor gripe is that travel in the world was a little bit tedious. I don't have a suggestion for how to improve it. =)

Great graphics for such a short time! The whole concept was great, with all the world (asteroid) building and the rock jokes. Sounds like a lot of fun to make this game and record all the dialogue.

Not bad. I could really hear the Czech accent :D … Some sound balancing would really help. Also, movement on the overworld was quite slow.

Cool! Impressed by the amount of voice work that was done for this.
