The game is very interesting, the art and music are impressive. It would be even better if there were some means to disrupt opponents when collecting items from them. Also, the screen shake is a bit distracting.

Nice tutorial and animation text and most importantly, camera shake. :clap:

Oh i got some fun with this on! i would say that it was hard to get how fast you need to feed your Sumo-n
overall style and animations are adorable and silly, like it a lot :3

Fun simple game, really good visuals. Nice play on words to takle the theme.The only thing I disliked was slowing down when the floor rumbles.

Really cool setting! I like the atmosphere created with the music. For me it is spacebar and not Z to play, though. Nice project :)

My only complaint would be that there is no 1v1 mode ! :)
Good job team !

Love the look of the game! To be honest slowdowns and screenshake was a bit much for me. But I had a blast with game mechanics. It was really fun to play!

Really polished, super satisfying to pick up the humans and what a fun take on the theme! The only thing that bothered me a little was the shaking when the demons attacked each other, felt a bit excessive- but that might just be a me thing (sensitive eyes ;_;)

Really Like this one, my main problem with it was just the sheer amount of slowdowns, I found myself just wishing it wasn't slowed down at all.

As expected this game feels really great to play : there is so much juice and mood in your animation and fx!

The gameplay was however a little bit dull and samey in comparison. Maybe doing something in addition to just running around collecting little guys would help reduce this feeling?

À great entry : good job!!

Wow I love all the juice here! Honestly with just a tiny bit more work and local 4 player multiplayer, I would buy this on steam. The spiderwebs were a good obstacle and I'm sure you would implement more if you had more time. This is my favorite entry I've seen so far. Great job!

The art and animations are top notch! Gameplay is a bit simple and repetitive, but something that could easily be extended later on. Would be great as a multiplayer game with local co-op!

Fun fact: I found your game because our game Sumo & Ning got the `sumo-ning-2` slug on ludum dare, so I was wondering who the first `sumo-ning` is :D

This game is amazing; honestly, it's very well done. Furthermore, I would love to learn how to adjust 2D to 3D as well as you've done. The art and mechanics are at the same level (an incredible level). My congratulations, truly.

I love idea behind the presentation, it is superb and some of the best I've seen in this jam thus far! It was very entertaining watching my hellspawn smash the opponent's hellspawn with his belly I played a part of enlarging! With that said, unfortunately the game itself started to get old very quickly, I really wish there was some more variety and tactics in play. Despite that, I still had a great time!

Fantastic, a lot of fun. A 2 player local coop would be incredible. My favourite game of the jam so far.

Wow... Amazing graphics and presentation. There is just so much juice, I wish the gameplay had a bit more depth to it. Also I wish there was local co-op. I want to play this with my kids!
P.S. the itch links seem to be down.

16. Apr 2024 · 20:12 UTC
Fun! Good job. I think it needs some epic background music. I also think it would be cool if there were special humans to collect that had different effects. That said, amazing job! I also didn't how to close the game (ended up alt-tabbing)

Fun game! It was quite challenging to get enough people to feed your sumo monster. THe loop is a bit bland, maybe the addition of powerups would spice up the gameplay.

One of those jam games I was able to win, that's pretty cool! The mechanics although very simple, are pretty addictive, there's even some depth to it. The graphics and sounds are top notch. LIKE!

17. Apr 2024 · 20:32 UTC
Very cool - I'd have loved to do it on full screen to really appreciate the art. I found myself replaying to see if I could do a finishing move quicker. Just collecting as many souls as possible to get a giant shove. Could make a cool arcade game or mobile game.

Really cute interpretation of the theme, and nice polished feeling! As for the gameplay itself, I just held left click and released it after some time and won without really understanding, not sure if I missed something?

Very fun minigame with a impressive level of polish. Art and audio are super clean. The gameplay felt a little bit repetitive, maybe with some other mechanics to trip up the opponent it would feel even nicer

very great visual, nice sfx !! maybe it's just missing some epic music and a 2 players mode.

What a great and interesting take on the theme! I really love it, it's simple but, like you say, the few minutes you're playing are fun minutes. Really love the (3D) art, the game feels really polished, and the amount of juice is great. If you'd say that this is a fully published game, I would've believed it as well.

Great job guys, really good entry.
