The game is really fun to play, but maybe it's a bit too easy once you got the trick (Wait to be at least 10 000m away from the rock -> date finished 100% of the time). With a bit more traps, maybe some sort of events ? Like assassin lady instead of a date, lady crowds because the MC is such a dandy, etc ...
Jokes aside it was a great game, and definetely the best game I've played so far. Voice acting was hilarious and the execution of theme was perfect. Thank you, for creating this awesome masterpiece!
* the logs kind of blend in with the road
* the jumping feels sluggish
* waiting for the character to get back up after hitting an object is slow and frustrating
* the dating game dialogue choices and voice lines are banal
Also, the game gets boring once you realize the strategy of just running away from the stone for a long time and then going on dates after you've gotten enough distance.
The jump timing is a bit off, and character does wake up slowly. But it still is quite playable.
Keep up the good work!
Love the voice over 10/10. Quit your job to do this full time
Really clever mash up
**Improvements**
Being able to jump off the road needs to be patched
Could improve graphics, but good for the time allotted
It's difficult to see the log in the road. Needs color contrast
Falling down was very slow, and if you hit a rock, you go inside. Fix the mesh collider or have him fall before the rock.
- You can no longer jump of the road.
- The logs i much brighter now.
- You jump a lot higher now.
- When you fall you get up again much faster.
- You can no longer jump through the rocks.
I don't think any of this fixes really changes the game, but I hope it makes the game a bit less frustrating to play.
And question for you @travis-spuller : How do I quit a job when I am already unemployed?
At the beginning I thought it was a bit cringy but when the sound effects came in and they were also your voice I found it funny. The compliments were quite funny and I had to laugh at some haha. "Your eyes are so blue and I like you too" or something like that :D
Besides your humour and audio, I also enjoyed the graphics. They were simple but you could cleary differentiate between everything.
Only grip I have with the game is, that the stone is getting faster and faster without you being able to do anything. Maybe if your date-score goes up you also move faster? That would make it harder to dodge obstacles and you would not die after a specified amount of time to the stone because it gets to fast.
Anyways great entry, keep it up :)
Thank you for the feedback.
Voice acting is funny and well done. Runner gameplay is fine.
The mix with the dating is ok but not very interesting gameplaywise. It is funny to listen to the dialogue lines but there is not much choice to be made (or I didn't understand the lines effect ?).
After my second date (or 3rd) the boulder was going so fast that I couldn't start a new date anymore (or I would have to run for a lot of time I guess). A bit frustrating.
What I liked :thumbsup::
* Stunning Humor
* Hilarious voice, funny comments, nice to listen
* Good tutorial
*
What can add :new: :
* Skip the button in the tutorial
* Maybe replace a stone with the running crowd of competitors men
I would be very glad if [you rating my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/last-stand-1) too:mag:
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.
