Enjoyed this, was unexpected. Loved the drums, I felt anxious very fast as the items began to pile up.

Great music and aesthetic! As the creator of one hoarder game to another, I was entertained to see what a different direction you took the 'hoarding' idea in. Cool gameplay loop. I felt like the hallway was a bit too long, but other than that it was fun!

Consider your game tested on Linux, all seems good! The graphics and music were a great combination. I wasn't sure of the win-lose conditions, but liked the overall feel of the gameplay. Good job

Good Job! although the neighbours could wait a little longer

@finnthepirate @feingehacktes @celsyum we are aware that the rabbit is a bit too fast (it's a rabbit!)we'll slow it down to make it easier :) Thank you for playing. @hellpug we found fun to be overwhelmed and having to climb all the stuff because after all nothing bad really happens. :) @bcvery1 you don't 'win' you can just survive as long as you can (or see if you can reach the ceiling with your clutter). We'll make this more clear!

It's pretty funny!
Inferture

The music and aesthetic fit well with one another and it was pretty funny ! ^^ That's an original use of the theme as instead of trying to get away from the state of having nothing, you try to get back to it

I loved it, keep it up !

Not a bad game, altough i glitched out of the map by just having objects under me and jumping on the edge of the map, its a good game tho keep up the good work!
🎤 Tommyflower

@wansou thank you for playing and thank you for the feedback. We'll fix this!

The story was humorous and nice. The art was awesome. Your game's music makes the player more excited. The concept was nice and the game was really polished. I enjoyed it, keep up the good work.

@wansou I can't say I haven't anticipated this, but thank you for taking the time to hoard objects under your feet to try and flee this high-security simulation/prison!

A nice concept that was penalized by bugs. I got the satire of the game and it was a nice touch that stuff kept coming and you had to get organized. However the ctrl pickup didn't work so I had to use the mouse in order to play. This made the controls very clumsy and took away from the experience. I also broke the game when a new package was delivered and i tried to unpack it at the same time 😕

I really liked playing it! Really fun concept and the game was awesome and addicting. However I found that as soon as a certain bugged packaged came through the game would halt entirely and nothing would happen in that game again and I have to restart. Overall really good, just that one bug :). (bugged package below)

Yeah @Herex thanks, I'm trying to nail it down as it happens from time to time!

Edit: Well... Renaming prefabs in Unity sure has its downsides.

For me it was a little too short. But this is a very well made game! Good submission!

Wow! A surprisingly large dictionary of items, and a novel concept. This game really makes you feel like the player character. Sometimes you just receive 3 pianos in a row, and that's a metaphor for life.

I was kind of disappointed when I didn't bounce on the trampoline. I mean I know it would've been absolutely unnecessary extra work for you to implement it, but I still wanted to. :smile:

Really cute graphics! Sometimes it's hard to get over through large objects, but gameplay is so fun!
🎤 Tommyflower

(@kessutinnu omg now I want to do that too! :D but I kinda managed to ride the bike. In the next release maybe!

Fun game! Really like how it looks and the audio is great. Jumping over my own growing pile of stuff is really fun.

09. Oct 2019 · 17:37 UTC
Haha, this one is really fun! Exelent cute style and story (poor mr.Racoon!). The music is great and makes you more nervous (which is good in this case). I didn't manage to play it long time, large objects too quickly block the way. But anyway, nice job!

@daria-toni @bocodillo @bryvox @vaibho @inferture @finnthepirate @bcvery1 @scott-steffes @hellpug

Thank you all!
For this game I had two main goals. One was give the listener the "taiko feel" having almost no knowledge about "taiko grammar". Glad you felt the music coherent with the aesthetic/graphics.
The second was induce in the player some sort of frenzy without becoming too distressing. Hope I succeeded...

@kessutinnu

To be honest, I tried to jump on the trampoline myself... :-)

Nice game! Original take on the theme, very well executed. I just did not understand how I'm supposed to get rid of the bigger objects, apparently there's no way to pull them or jump over them. Anyway, great entry overall !
RealityCheck

An entertaining game. Got very hectic as stuff started to pile up and no one wanted them. Had a bicycle that I had to jump over every time I went to the door and back.

The drawn artwork was really nice. Too bad the contrasting art style of the objects didn't match the other excellent art. Also noticed a little problems with the transparancy as you can see little borders along the edges of the character sprite.

The idea was great, though, and I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay. Great work.

That is one adorable raccoon. :)

I really love the aesthetic and music of this one. The absurdity of all of the things that could arrive in the mail was really fun to unpack and discover! I did find myself sometimes stuck when two large object were next to each other, effectively preventing me from pushing them towards wanting customers. Other than that, though, I had a lot of fun trying to manage the space and discovering new things in the mail.

Also thumbs up to the cutscenes :thumbsup: The surprise at the end especially got a chuckle out of me. Nice work!
Ioleoso
10. Oct 2019 · 07:56 UTC
@zoglu thank you!

For the big objects: while being near to them you can hit ctrl and the Raccoon will start pushing it (to push you have to move Mr. Raccoon in the direction of the object).

10. Oct 2019 · 09:49 UTC
@realitycheck thank you for playing. I also like to ride that bike to get to the object I need :D I'm aware of the difference in style for the objects. The time was very short to draw them all but this is at the first place in the post jam polishing list.
🎤 Tommyflower
10. Oct 2019 · 09:52 UTC
@coleslaughter thank you so much for the feedback! I found myself discovering new stategies to play my own game :D big objects are a pain if you don't move them immediately :D

Legit made me laugh! Great job on the graphics and audio. The cinematic sequences were also done well. I thought it was a great take on the theme. My only suggestion would be the ability to drag the large items rather than just push. Great job all!

Hahahaha, I loved the concept. I was wandering why do you had a jump button at the start. Boy, did I needed it... The music is amazing, much fitting for the gameplay where you had to rush to do things. You got a solid gameplay here, very simple yet effective and fun, everything a jam submission dreams for.
