LET'S TRY TO CHILL

😎 This is Tanning Tatum.

He wants to get a perfect tan, but he doesn’t like people so much. And the beach fills so fast !

You will have to choose between sunbathing to be handsome or moving away to avoid the nervous breakdown, even if we are running out of space…

CONTROLS

Clic on available place to move, or don't do anything to sunbath.

If someone is near to you, you will take some damages and your temper will get darker, but you will also tan. So manage his tanning (or "Handsomeness") and his temper (or "coolness") by moving or not.

Have fun !

Really liked the voice-over in the intro, managed to sunbath tatum in the first attempt! ;)

A charming entry! I really liked the whole mood of it from the warm colors of the graphics to the beach music and the hustle and bustle sounds of the people. It really worked well, plus, the voice over gave me a nice smile. The gameplay was really simple as it is with most entries but it worked and was quite fun because it kept me on my toes and aware of the people appearing and disappering around me. I can't really say anything other than just expand it with more content and mechanics if you feel like it. Overall, very solid entry!

Like the art and the general vibe. Only problem is it feels fairly random who shows up and where so when you win it doesn't feel like a matter of strategy. Would be interesting if perhaps you were limited to a certain amount of moves or something else that would make it more of a challenge.

Cool game with cute graphics. Easy to play. I like the mood because that's mostly what I feel when I'm at the beach :D

Cool Game! It was simple fun and easy to understand and play straight away, with nice art and mood. I think a sound effect when you start getting annoyed would help you realize when something was too close. :slight_smile:

Really cute graphics. This would be a good casual mobile game. Just have to spice it up with more levels and add more features as the game progress i.e. dodging seagull poop or escaping from the wave

It's really awesome game, great graphics and audio and gameplay, the only problem is that there is only 1 level, but anyways good job :D

Wow. Cool game. Art, gameplay, voice are so authentic to the stressing vacations of the beach.

Great take on the theme! The music is perfect and sound affects are great. The graphic style and animations are really cool. It is elegant in its simplicity, but that being said, it would be nice if there were some more dynamics/mechanics that were available. Great job!

Really nice graphics and audio, it was really pleasant to play your game ! Maybe a bit easy and not so much of replay value but great mood and humor ! Good job ! :smiley:

Oof. I agree with @shell-pirate that the color palette and the art are charming, as is the fracophone anglais. I started to feel anxious myself that no one would leave my character alone. There were several times that I couldn't move; when I tried to click, Tatum would not appear. I resolved this by moving the cursor around a little bit, but the delay was frustrating.
