The Golden Saucisse by BrokenMatcha

[raw]
made by BrokenMatcha for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

Hello :v: This is my first Game Jam, this was a fantastic experience! I did everything on Twitch, it was a lot of fun to share with the viewers the development of the Game :o:

It's a Die and retry :v: I hope you have fun playing the game!

Here is the pitch:

You were enjoying a beautiful day on your boat, eating a tasty hot-dog, when your sausage suddenly dropped out of the bread and fell in the water.

As you are very hungry, you quickly put your diving suit on and jump in the sea to try to get your sausage back.

But hurry up, your precious piece of meat may lose its flavor if it stays in the water for too long!miniature_game.png

These lil' fishies are way too cute!! :o I really like the mood of the game. The mechanics are simple enough to be enjoyed, although a bit confusing sometimes (What does the starfish do? Should I avoid jellyfishes? Do I have a health bar?). Also I think I managed to beat it twice, but there doesn't seem to be a winning screen? It was still fun overall.

I really liked the art, especially those sharks with that sadistic smile on their face. The game is must must harder than I thought it would be when I first looked at it, the rockets that can be launched outside of the screen are a bit frustrating, and I thought that the "up" command felt really heavy. Overall I took pleasure trying the game, nice job :D

Good job here. I saved my sausage and that's awesome. Love the arts, easy to play and relaxing. I would love to have a "damage indicator". Don't know what hurts you or not.

The art is very cute, definitely my favourite part of the game! I managed to pick up the sausage, but I wasn't sure what to do after that, if I had to do anything. If I had to suggest an improvement, I'd say make it a bit clearer what's going on to the player.

Very cute game. I think I need a little more info about what the items around the map do. Does collecting fish do anything? What does the starfish do? It definitely needs a win screen as well. Great job overall!

Great work! I was able to save the sausage and felt myself get better at it with each run. I would say that it is a bit hard to avoid obstacles when swimming up and I had a bit of trouble figuring out what to avoid but the game was really enjoyable.

Le titre "golden saucisse" et tout le pitch du jeu sont tellement idiots, mais ça m'a fait beaucoup rire. Le jeu est simple mais bizarrement fun. Très drôle !

Le jeu est vraiment mignon! Il manque un peu d'instructions (j'étais un peu perdue je l'avoue) mais sinon c'était une petite expérience sympa :o

Loved it, I didn't understand right away where the finish line was, though. It took me several tries but I finally got to save my sausage, hurray!
Overall, a funny game!

Did take me 3 times to understand what the game mechanics were about. :face_palm: And then after 5 more times, I didn't managed to get the sausage either. :face_palm: :face_palm:

But the sprite are great & the overall is rather nicely done. :thumbsup:

***"Sausage is good, Sausage is life, Sausage is golden !"*** - *someone who love sausage, probably*

On a side note, the game is really cute ! :smile:

The game miss some more "obvious" feedback when you get hit by stuff and lose time on your timer. We need some run to fully understand what's going on.

Beside that, on the overall, it's a nice, fun and cute little game. Especially these fishes~ :fish: :tropical_fish:

Good job on your first gamejam ! :tada:

Simple but a good entry for a first game jam, gg !
There is enough different elements to keep this interesting, but i found it very difficult to go out of the water once you get the golden sausage. Keep up the good works !

A nice take on the downside platformer ! I really enjoyed your cute art and fun music. And having to get out of the water after getting the sausage is a great twist ; the true strength of your game lies in the player immediately understanding that without a text prompt !

Strengths :
- Cute visuals
- The thrill of having to go up
- Good balance and controls

Possible improvements :
- Not a lot of interactions with the sea fauna

All in all, great job !

Great game it's very fun ! I liked the character animation it's super cute ! The conccept is so funny I loved it ! Un grand bravo, le jeu est très facile à prendre en main et le fun est immédiat. Peut-être que pouvoir s'agripper à un poisson pour quelques secondes afin de descendre dans les profondeurs avec lui peut être marrant mais je sais pas si c'est dans l'esprit du jeu. Bref, un grand bravo !

@shin0nome merci !
On peut le faire j'ai fait un poisson turbo ^^ mais il est pas toujours facile à trouver parce qu'il bouge pas mal ^^

merci beaucoup pour ton retour !

Cute visuals and music. Simple game idea but a very appealing implementation. Like the idea that you're not "killed" when touching enemies, just punished. Good job.

Le style graphique est très chouette. J'ai eu quelques problèmes pour éviter certaines torpilles que je ne voyais pas car trop à gauche/droite de mon écran. Je verrai bien un feedback qui met bien en évidence qu'on perd du temps quand on se fait toucher, car ce n'était pas clair pour moi au début^^. Le gameplay fonctionne bien: c'est simple et efficace, et c'est très cool d'avoir un système de scoring :)
Bien joué !

Very cutely animated. I like the style. The background music was cute plucky but the SFX were mixed too loud in some parts and a bit repeative.

The game controls as well were arbitray and my fingers were cramping up!

Overall good effort and congrats on your first game jam! :D

Nice game!

Super cute drawings, nice music and nice animation and audio on interactions.
The controls felt a bit messy on the way up, I was not sure if I was supposed to spam the up button or not?

Thanks for the game I had fun!
