Is there any chance of a HTML5 / webgL version?

Funny little game with a surprising amount of difficulty later on! The comic at the beginning was a nice touch, but I felt really bad for the poor guy- he didn't sound like he was having a good time!

Good job!

Whelp. This was way more fun than it had any right to be. Kudos! The game works well, plays a little rough, but that's forgivable. I love the pc's design. Isaac-y, but with a nice personal touch. Good job, guys!

@ekin thanks for the review I am planning on farting for quite some time in the future

@tongueenvy Thanks :D, the humour is maybe a little crude but I hope it fits well with the overall aesthetic. The character is stuck in a vacuum so maybe if you put him in a pressurised chamber he would look more normal :D

It's a funny game, the mechanics works great, maybe you can put more speed for rotating the character when we have to move him, exsept of that it's near from perfect ! It's just bad that it don't really fits the theme but, nevermind :p Good luck for the future :muscle:

My colliders wasn't working so the game was pretty easy. But pretty fart idea :D Good luck.

@corentin-sabiaux thanks for the review :) , I was hoping that naked dude blasted into space was enough to communicate the start with nothing theme, but it was really tricky to come up with something that screams the theme loudly.

@yolziii thanks for the review, the humour is a little rough but I hope it works well enough

@baski damn :D what platform were you playing on ? maybe the webgl version will work better :D

@hartvichio I played webgl version :D

@baski @hartvichio I just played the webgl version and it played fine (tested on levels 1-7), colliders working and everything. Weird.

Can you confirm this behaviour on any of the other versions @baski ?

Yeah i can :D

@baski I meant if this happened in any of the downloadable versions. But I've tried this on the webgl version and I still cannot get out of bounds. :slight_frown: I assume this is the first level. I've tried every seam and every face of rocks and also the way from the back to get out of bounds, still no dice. :confused:

@sprotex it is webgl version. Just go down

Funny game) In the future, you can add enemies from which it will be possible to fly away: the police from the space prison)

That was cute and funny. Like @tongueenvy I also really liked the player character design. There's something oddly satisfying about starting each level staring at someone's butt in space.

I also enjoyed that there were 2 ways to play each level, each with this own challenge.

Nice tiny butt.

If you look past the farting in the space you gonna find a surprisingly challenging and well polished game. Amazing job!! The only problem I had was that after level 5 every time I pressed on next level the game would take me back to the menus, but other than that it worked fine. Good job.

@hcursino thanks for the review :), yeah thats a known issue :D but as it wasnt neccessarilly game breaking we prioritised other issues to complete the game on time :).

Haha, a nice small game. Art looking solid with extra love given to fume particles and oscar worthy voice acting. Good entry, great fit with the theme.

Heheh... it's a funny game! Despite I don't think that the game fits the theme, it might become a really nice game for mobile if you add enemies and other challenges.

@rodrigo-denubila thanks for the feedback :) coming up with something original that screamed start with nothing was pretty tricky, how was it for you ?

Hi @hartvichio actually this was my favorite theme when we are voting, so when the theme was revealed I already has an idea to follow.

I think the game you guys developed missed just needed some improvements to fit the theme. The character in the game starts with nothing, indeed, but it keeps with nothing until the end. If we grab some itens during the gameplay, like parts of astronaut suit, or food that increase the gas and make the character go far with the fart, woud be more interesting and would fits more with the theme.

Hey fun game! I liked the Mini-golf+fart (minifart?!?) concept! The execution is preety good too. Nice job!

Apparently in that prison the prisoners are very well fed, since he was able to collect so many cans of beans :smile: Nice game!

Really polished and enjoyable for such a simple concept. I do wish the player bounced on hitting a wall, though - being able to make bank shots would make the gameplay a lot more fun, I think (and open up new realms of challenge!)
