Jeff is having issues controlling his appetite by Ittai Manero

made by Ittai Manero for LD34 (JAM)

PLEASE, READ THE NOTES AT THE BOTTOM BEFORE PLAYING! :)

You play as a weird little monster with two-button eyes who has issues controlling his appetite.

ARROWS to move around

SOME NOTES:

After all the hard work I couldn't finish this thing at all and also there is a lot of bugs and stuff I couldn't fix on time. Please don't look for an ending, you just can move around and interact a little bit with things.

The story was supposed to be way more ambicious and I guess next time I will try to stick to a simpler idea.

I thought on submitting anyway, because this was my first LD and I would love to get your feedback. I only hope some of it is enjoyable enough for you, guys.

This was done on Clickteam Fusion
All the art was handmade by me
Music made with Bosca Ceoil

I was looking for the ending for a while. My mistake for not reading your notes earlier haha. Great idea! Clean art and functionality. I liked it :)

15. Dec 2015 · 03:21 UTC

Fun game, seems like the full story would have been interesting. I really like the main character and the art in general is impressive. The music is good too. Unfortunately, I could not reach the end of the first level. Is the trash can in the toilet supposed to be searchable?

15. Dec 2015 · 03:22 UTC

Sorry, after reading again, I realized that there's no ending. Still a very interesting game!

Thank you, guys. I'm sorry that I couldn't finish or at least give it some sort of improvised ending. But I spent too much time in the last hours trying to fix really annoying bugs. Some of them could be fixed, some not. Thank you for your nice comments!

While I'm a little bit sad that the player is confined to the living room and bathroom, I think what you've already accomplished is pretty impressive! The art looks great, and the humor is spot on (there are a few grammar errors here and there, but it's not a big deal). It didn't quite hold to the theme, but congratulations on completing it anyways!

Thank you, WolfkingW! I had to leave out a third room that was already done because I had no time to implement it :(
But I'm so glad you liked it! Even with the grammar errors (english is not my mother tongue), so it means a lot to me :)

15. Dec 2015 · 04:19 UTC

very nice, love the art, it is a big shame it was not finished, you should continue work on it.

Thanks, blohod ^_^ I will!

15. Dec 2015 · 12:43 UTC

It's a real shame it is so short. It's beautifully put together. Nice little tune, great humour, impressive character animation and good environment art in general.

Well done to both of you, and keep rocking ;)

Thank you so much, Roninfight! Well I'm only one person, haha :D But thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it, man :)

15. Dec 2015 · 20:38 UTC

It's a shame that you couldn't get the story finished, as the art is amazing, the music and atmosphere are great and the dialogue is hilarious. I really hope you continue this in some form.

15. Dec 2015 · 20:41 UTC

Well you win for graphics my friend! Great humour: it made me laugh. I can see this will be amazing when you finish it. lease finish it :)

15. Dec 2015 · 20:43 UTC

What an incredible little game! The art is fantastic, and the humour is brilliant as well (the conversations with the skeleton is the best)! Keep up the good work - I look forward to seeing another piece of your work!

15. Dec 2015 · 20:44 UTC

Was soo disappointed when I realized it was over, would have loved to play more! Humor was spot on (it felt kind of Lucasart-esque) and animation was superb.

It's so great having your feedback, guys! I will definitely finish it somehow. I will update the entry with a link to the finished version, but I can't promise when that would be. Soon, hopefully! Thank you so much for playing my game!

15. Dec 2015 · 21:27 UTC

Wow! This has great potential! I really want to see how this game continues!

15. Dec 2015 · 21:39 UTC

Thank you! :D

15. Dec 2015 · 21:56 UTC

Nice art style.

15. Dec 2015 · 22:00 UTC

Fantastic art, game has some funny elements to it to, its a shame you couldn't finish though, but very nice game :)

15. Dec 2015 · 22:03 UTC

Uhh... nice Art. If i would ever make an Adventure i would choose exactly this kind of art, mood and humor. Very sad that it´s so unfinished atm.

15. Dec 2015 · 22:25 UTC

What a style !

The game would be much more enjoyable if it was narrated. The art and mood of the game is very good.

15. Dec 2015 · 22:51 UTC

Wow, really nice concept! Please add puzzles and some voice to the character, even gibberish words would fit. I'd love to play this as a full game.

🎤 Ittai Manero

16. Dec 2015 · 00:09 UTC

Actually I thought about adding gibberish words! I think it is a nice idea. I will give it some more thoughts :D Thanks!

16. Dec 2015 · 00:11 UTC

Jeff is having issues running on my laptop c': Maybe I'll try later.

16. Dec 2015 · 11:08 UTC

The art is amazing! It's a great sampler, you should continue. :)

16. Dec 2015 · 13:58 UTC

Man, your graphic and idea are so good!

🎤 Ittai Manero

16. Dec 2015 · 15:54 UTC

Thank you guys :D

16. Dec 2015 · 16:47 UTC

I really liked the art, an option to skip the dialogue if you already read it would've been nice.

🎤 Ittai Manero

16. Dec 2015 · 17:08 UTC

Thank you for your feedback, Juin! You're right, I probably will implement that option!

16. Dec 2015 · 17:12 UTC

really nice work !

16. Dec 2015 · 21:10 UTC

The art is amazing! Also I think it is very funny :D
Good job for your first LD even if you didn't finish I had more fun with this than with some other games :D

🎤 Ittai Manero

17. Dec 2015 · 02:12 UTC

That's pretty cool to know, thanks :)

17. Dec 2015 · 12:35 UTC

I loved the game, specially the graphics! Upload it to itch.io also.

🎤 Ittai Manero

17. Dec 2015 · 13:13 UTC

I'll do that, but I prefer to wait until it is complete ^_^ Thank you!

17. Dec 2015 · 23:32 UTC

Ahahahah, we also had the idea, initially, to develop something about a button-eyed kind of monster ;)
Congrats for your drawings. I liked music too, and texts are funny. I'm sad you couldn't finish it, I bet I enjoyed the ending :)

Looks great, would love to see more.

19. Dec 2015 · 21:10 UTC

great graphics. I wish you would have finished it! I really hope for a post jam version of this!

19. Dec 2015 · 21:15 UTC

this is nice little adventure with very suitable comic style and the humor :)

24. Dec 2015 · 03:23 UTC

Sometimes i too look into a toilet bowl. And i remember the time i was in flap jaw space, doing a summersault over hairy kairy rock. I need scissors 69.

The mood of the game is perfect. Nice sounds, graphics, and the story.. is short, but very interesting. Nice entry ;-)

I made a small gameplay video for your game! I loved the art, too bad that the game ended up unfinished.

Great graphics and very ambitious project. Walked around trying to eat the various things. Generally nice written dialog, but it would have been nice to be able to skip forward with space when you happened to repeat something.

Thank you, guys! Hope to finish this little thing soon and update with a post-jam version with all the bugs fixed up. Your feedback is very appreciated!
