Racoocoo by Tamino Laub

[raw]
made by Tamino Laub for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

Rocco is a mischevious raccoon who regularely breaks into institutions to steal valuables like rubies, diamonds, etc. But what does he need them for? To build a house? Pay off debt? To finance his family? Nope! Our cutie does it for one thing and one thing only:

Collecting Racoocoos!

Here he is our little thief, busy at work to get what he wants.

And here is what he is stealing diamonds for, 5 different collectibles designs with one secret rare one:Racoocoos.jpg

As a team of just two people it sure was a challenge to keep the scope small enough to not completely drown in workload. But we`re both very happy with the result and we hope that you guys like it too :)

I GOT THEM ALL!!! 🐱🐱🐱 I usually don’t support robbery, but if it’s for a super cute Racoocoo, I see nothing wrong with it at all! The art style is really good, and the way the characters animate is super cute. Every Racoocoo is perfect, and the charming art really makes you want to retry the level until you have all of them!! I do, however, think the guards need to be harder to avoid. Maybe the game could end if the player touches them, or their detection could be faster. But overall, a solid, amazing, cute, and adorable game! I’m keeping my Racoocoos forever!!

A small stealth game about a clever raccoon who realized the hype around Labubu has faded — so he decided to make some money (by stealing diamonds) to fund his own line of collectible keychains combining the best things in the world: food and cats.

Such a fun game and great way of designing a cute little game with established and self-explanatory gameplay mechanics. It might just be a little bit too easy :D

This is such a fun game! I love the art style, I wish those cute collectibles were real! :laughing: Once I played through, I could take the same path each time, so it was a little repetitive. Maybe some kind of random mechanics like varying the security guard's paths could make it more challenging. Overall this is an amazing game jam entry!

@exozetart Thank you so much for playing it! We had a lot of ideas that we unfortunately had to cut, due to us already being short on time :D We originally wanted to have a more diverse enemy pool, and paths you took once getting harder as a balance for each Racoocoo giving you a different buff for your next round. Wish we could have fit all of that in but I guess that's how it is. Again: thanks a lot for taking the time to play it.

Really impressive for a two person team! The art is so clean and cute and the gameplay is smooth and I didn't run into any issues. Best of luck!

Cute graphics but lacks variety, I always went the same way to get the 10 diamonds. Also got unlucky 2 times where I got duplicates.

Hey, I've been looking forward to playing this one ever since I saw the devlog posts! The art style during the gameplay feels very crisp, and I adore the collectibles! Some guards do seem to be there right at the spawn of the stage though, which caught me out unluckily :(

Such an adorable game! I really enjoyed it. I also appreciate that it wasn't too hard; the difficulty felt perfect for me!

The raccoon is super cute, and the kitten keychains are even cuter :3

It's a cute game, I love the South Park esque movement and I'm a sucker for collectables, fun game!

It's a cute and interesting short game. but there's a problem with the game. Even without the shift, I often move faster than the guards, making it difficult for them to catch me.

Cute game! After 2 rounds I already knew the movements of the guards and how to avoid them though, so maybe add a little more complexity next time :)

Overall, good job & nice entry!

Adorable! Cool stealth concept and I thought the collection is a nice touch to drive replayability. Once I realised I could just run straight past the guards it got easy very quickly! A touch more variety to the levels and the guards' patterns would have been great but it's a super solid entry! Nice one :D

The cover art looked cute — honestly, I expected something a bit different, but I still liked the game! I’d suggest adding a bit more variety during collection or some extra challenges in the level. But overall, really well done for just three days — great job! :)
