Loved the audio and dialogue. Always made me chuckle and really makes you want to complete the tasks to advance the story. Great work!

Nice little game, I struggled to collect things while dodging the little red balls though :)

Pretty simple game, but everything worked well and I didn't run into any issues. I like how there were checkpoints in the game and I didn't need to play through the whole game each time I died. The quest were I had to get the 3 types of resources was too difficult for me and I gave up before I could finish. Good looking art style!

Congratulations on making a complete game!

I liked the plot, the increased difficulty, the fact it was a finished product, and also of course the screaming berry bushes ;)

SFX were great and hilarious, not sure the music was completely fitting however. Good overall balance of gameplay, really struggled once the balls started flying!

An interesting game. I finally lost when the boss got me with the purple force field. I'm not entirely sure what was going on in the story, haha Definitely a different take on the "running out of power" theme.

"What is a BJ?" made me chuckle. Props for controller support, really comfy to rate game with controller! :)

Nice game ! The gameplay is fun but stressful, the story and the sounds are funny ! Jean Booby's animation's is well done, even if some graphics are better than others. It's a good use of the theme.
(It's nice to be able to play with a controller !) Bien joué !

The game was very frustating to play, sometimes you go fast, sometimes you go slow and you don't know exactly how the time works, in the trees you put the progress bar but in the rocks don't so it was hard to define how many hit the rocks woul'd take.

The SFX are nice but the Music seems like you're fight against a boss.

Overall, liked how you used the theme, with the hunger of the creature. Keep up the work :)

Great game! The sounds are hilarious, loved that you had controller support. The last part was way too difficult, and it also wasn't that clear by the end that I could feed the machine anything in order to get some power back, so it was impossible for a few couple runs. It was fun to play though, very intense and fast paced once the missiles and boss attacks started coming in.

Good job :)

Sfx are hilarious. understanding french and the french accent made them even better <3

Oh and... Jean-Bobby : BEST CHARACTER NAME EVER.

Extremely fun, hilarious, very enjoyable. The only thing I can think of is that the last level was extremely difficult and took quite a few runs but that was probably by design, and I didn't really mind because I enjoy when I have to manage my resources!

Jean-Bobby hasn't had mushrooms today, but I felt like I did as I played this lol. I wasn't sure about it at first but it turned out to be a pretty fun experience. I like how things escalated. The randomness was pretty funny too. Also the sound effects were great especially the explosion hahaha. At the end it seemed like the machine (or whatever) regained power based on how many items you gave it, making wood a really bad choice and berries a really good one. That was my only gripe really, it was hard to keep it alive and kill the bosses after the berry bushes ran out. Pretty interesting project, well done!

Fun little game with hilarious sound effects! I found myself rushing around to gather resources quickly (while dodging bullets), and the music really added to the intensity! Nice job!

You showed, that a real rpg feel can be achieved with just simple graphics and sounds.
I really enjoyed the mood while playing. This game has it own charm :)

The hitboxes felt bigger than the character art, which made dodging less than intuitive.

Very nice gameplay! You have done an amazing job with the sound too, congratulations! The art is a bit too simple but I think that you got the most important covered up :)

Un français ? Aïeeeuuuuh ! x) Good game x) I think art is the bad thing and the "real" level is a little too hard in my opnion. Anyway, cool entry :) Félicitation :)
