!! This game must be played with sound !!

123 Soleil! is a short game we made together with my kids. We decided to mix a the Platform Game genre (a video game genre) with the Statues genre (a real life kid game genre). As we are french speaking we chose to use the 1-2-3 Soleil! variant of statues.

Controls:

  • left/right arrow keys: move
  • space bar: jump

Credits:

  • Elijah: design/art
  • Leeloo: sound
  • Dad: design/code

This is adorable! It is also somewhat hard, you're teaching your child the right stuff :p
Félicitations, c'était vachement chouette ! Ça me rappelle de bons moments dans la cour de récré ;)

This was awesome. You did a great job of getting your kid's drawings into the game and looking great! I am inspired to do the same with my kids now!

Vraiment chou, l'animation de la, du, hum giraffe-cntaure androcéphale m'a beaucoup fait rire, et alors les bruitages sont vraiment mimis. J'ai eu un flash-back douloureux au moment de la défaite mais ça vallait le coup. Etmine de rien c'est une approche bien maligne du thème, donc ce sera 5 étoiles là dessus pour moi !

This is, at least for me, the absolute best kind of Ludum Dare games. The idea is simple, new and fun. The graphics is cute and very friendly. The voice acting is so adorable. And most important is this game made because it is fun to make games, and not to win the completion, or at least I hope so. Well done.

Probably my favorite game so far! I've always loved the 'kids art' aesthetic, so the graphics are A++ from me. The sound is also very adorable, now it just needs some cool music!

I really enjoyed the idea of using a child's art in the game and I'm thinking of doing the same with my daughter ... she's going to be crazy. Too bad I could not play the game right. It kept rebooting right at the moment.

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

I hope you continue with the project.

@cristiano.m.garcia Thanks for trying the game out! Did you played with sound? If you didn't this could explain why you felt like it was rebooting. The game cannot be played without sound!

I actually already played and rated your game. I play & rate the games with my kids. As they don't (yet) know how to read I only use the rating system because they can understand it. Actually it's quite fun, we have lot of arguments about how many stars we should put in each category (they usually complain I didn't put enough). Anyway this explain why I didn't left you feedback, and my bad Karma.

What an amazingly cute game! Made me completely fall in love. The graphics, the sound, the concept; it's all so lovely! Would love to see this in a longer, more challenging game. Please tell your kids they did very well :)

1,2,3, Soleil! Nice game, with cute graphics and sound effects. :smile: I had fun playing, although for some reason after a while the movement got frustatingly slow... :turtle: But when I refreshed the browser, it was all ok, and I managed to finish the game. Bravo! :balloon:
