Welcome to Prankster Island, Although you want to leave the prankster on the island think otherwise. They'll do whatever necessary to keep you here: -They'll spike your food with dodgy poison which will make you feel sick. -They'll plant explosive inside trees and stone that may explode on hitting them. -They'll place invisible traps arround the island that will kill you.

Prankster Island is an ambitious game developed in 48 hours that unfortunately suffers from severe stability issues, with multiple users reporting frequent crashes shortly after starting. Players noted slow character movement, repetitive visuals, and unclear gameplay purpose. Despite these problems, the music and visual style received some positive remarks. Feedback suggests focusing on a smaller scope and ensuring core functionality before adding features.
Game immediately crashed after I opened it :\
Yeah, it runs reaaaaal slow then crashes. Managed to cut down a tree, but the other times it just crashed before I could do anything.
Well... yeah... hardly stable :/ Sometimes, it even opens with no objects in. Not sure the hit detection even works neither, didn't manage to hit anything. Is that a loop freezing the whole thing? it forces to alt+shift+delete
Try to have a smaller scope next time :) Think MVP first! Minimum Viable Product. First have the most basic functions work and only then add more things (easier said than done, I'm also a victim of the same thing lol)
I'm getting the same issue as everyone else; the game keeps crashing a few second in. Considering that I can't really comment on much, but the music is nice and the visuals style has a sort of simple goofy charm to it.
Sadly the game is unstable, crashed on me several times before I called it quits. I lie the concept you were going for though. The character movement is a bit slow and the grass tile is to repetitive. I was able to use the ax and knock down a tree, then collect the wood. Didn't really see a purpose for collecting materials though.
Wow so this looks like a very ambitious game for 48 hours. I was able to open up the crafting menu before the game crashed and it appeared to have a ton of items. I wonder if this is a loop that the game gets caught in and not a memory leak? In my experience memory leaks crash the game but your game is not crashing. The music still works just completely freezes and I have to Task Manager it. Have you been able to fix the bug since the JAM ended? If so let me know a place I can try it out.
EDIT I've never been on the discord channel so I need to jump on there. I live in Hawaii so my times are all messed up compared to those on the mainland. Ill get on tonight tho and see if there is any activity
hey Dustin yes we were very ambitious and we payed the price. we almost finished the game but for some reason i did not work, me and toemking are working on a similar game but it will be a platformer you can expect to see the game's development at the gamemaker discord.
Sadly the game crashed four times (on four attempts) for me. I had to ctrl+alt+del just to close it. :( I was able to play maybe 10 seconds each time before the crash. It seemed after I chopped a tree it would always freeze.
