The Carpenter by Valentin4311
Have you ever dreamt to play a unique Carpenter's life? By creating your own house and sliding an infinite slope on your little smooth plump butt?
Harvest some materials in the wood with his unique butt sliding technique. He may use these to build the dwelling of his dreams and to have the best place to rest ever.
The game runs in two phases. First, we made a resting space where you can contemplate the view of the carpenter's house and its evolution as you go along the game. Then come a very punchy runner game where you can collect resources and stuff, avoid obstacles and BLOW UP EVERYTHING IN YOUR WAY LIKE A WRECKING BALL!!! (yeah, told ya, it's a unique technique guys :wink: the legend says he was Miley Cyrus' coach)
As you play, you will have to run several games to collect enough materials and upgrade your house to make it at your image: sweet and cozy.
Now, take a quick look to our screenshots and let's play the game!! :smile: Don't forget to share your best score, to see if you're more badass than an on-drugs game dev, playing almost 3000 games a day to make this game :stuckouttonguewinkingeye:
Have fun!

The game ran great; no gameplay issues. The controls were a little rough for me, with the speed of the racing (I found that when I needed to zig left or right, that the acceleration to get going was a little bit too sluggish. And then, when I DID get going, I often flew further than I wanted).
Good job! I can tell a lot of work went into this one.
Here is my best score! I bet there isn't anyone who can beat it 8)
We understand that some points can be unclear, especially around the "build your house" gameplay, so here is some explanation:
Gathering resources when sliding downhill allows you to improve your home. Your house is built automatically when you visit it, based on how much resources you possess. The more resources, the more pleaseant and cozy your home will be! And of course, you start with nothing.
Hope this helps some of you :)
Vraiment super cool! L'ambiance est chouette et CE MODZIT CANARD !!
J'ai mis un peu de temps à voir les flèches boost au sol, peut-être trouver une broutille pour les rendre plus visible?
Bravo à toute l'équipe :slight_smile:
Keep up the good work!
The pitch modulation whenever you hit a boost arrow was an interesting effect, I can't tell if I like it or not but I think it.....sort of works out especially considering the backing saw pads which kind of give it that analog warmth? not really sure.
Wish there was a little more to the gameplay here, but even then, it's pretty enjoyable. Honestly the music alone makes you want to keep sliding down that infinite hill haha.
The collision is wonky somewhere, I was able to slide across water a couple of times. The controls sometimes feel like they are not listening to me, but that's very hard to nail down so I won't hold it against you, just giving it as feedback.
Overall, the game is pretty good.
Had fun playing. Impressed by how much you made in such a short amount of time!
In my opinion you could have removed the building part as the whole game is pretty much collecting the materials.
Overall a good entry, i wish you best of luck for all your next games as well.
