Bye¡Buddy! by Lenny92

[raw]
made by Lenny92 for LD 43 (JAM)

Help little buddies to come back home, their mother is really woried... But beware, even if Bye¡Buddy! looks like typical platform game it might be tricky one! The sacriface must be made to let mother see at least one of her children. Learn controls during the game and master it to lead home as many buddies as possible.

Hope you gonna like this! Made by two during their first start in LD 😉

Fun concept. Although a bit confusing on how to get one ball. I would say you pick the one closest to the mouse. But in the end it worked just fine. Had fun playing it.

Innovative idea. I like how the map / level goes. It's both a platform and puzzle game which I found interesting.
There is a short (very simple) music at the begining and then nothing, which feels empty.
Hoever, the map / level is well designed and the coloring and overall graphics are nice.
It is overall a very good job for just a few days of work :)

@jeunegen Hey! thanks, yeah we discovered that music is not in a loop when it was to late, we assume that we made 80% of the game during the last 10 hours ;)

@stlunatick Hello! We're glad that you enjoyed it! Did you found secret walk throughs which I hid in the map? ;)

Fun game to play and interesting idea. A lot of my little guys got stuck in the floor but aside from that I had fun playing. Nice graphics too!

Neat! The jump physics could use some tlc, but it was a neat concept. I really enjoyed it. Managed to make it to the end with only 1 buddy left.

Very nice!
I managed to finish first level with 3 survivors.
Level design is pretty challenging but still playable.
The only problem that I had was situation when half of my buddies was left outside left side of the screen, while other run forward beyond rite side of the screen... probably the camera should zoom out in order to fit all the pack on the screen.

Liked the physics and character control very much.
Great take on the theme! Well done!

Very cool concept and good execution. I like the puzzle part and smooth gameplay. Also, it would be interesting to see if some bouncing can be used with these mechanics. Anyways, good game!

First: Graphics were awesome!

Second: Love this type of gameplay. The level was very well designed and the challenges were the right amount of difficult. Managed to get home with 4 buddies :P

Third: There should be a way to sacrifice buddies if you click on them. One time I got a buddy stuck and couldn;t get him out so the camera zoomed out so much I was barely able to see the rest of the buddies.

Great game ... good job!

Fun concept. Nice physics and mechanics, sometimes it gets a little confusing when lots of buddies get stuck, but I really had a great time finishing this game :)

Solid little game. Sometimes the camera didn't pan out entirely but it was a neat concept.

I really enjoy this type of the games.
I think that it would be interesting to see it as a hand-held or a mobile game, though!

Nice take on the theme. The camera tracking looked a bit weird (by the time I finished the game and didnt see what balls went to the finish line haha). Maybe dividing all of the living balls positions and getting the position based on their center of mass would result in a better. Also zooming out if needed. Of course this is a feedback for possible future versions, I know time is short hahaha
Good job!
