Press X to Sacrifice a Bunny

Ok so the art is phenomenal, but everything else is pretty underwhelming, I'm pretty sure you'd get first place if you teamed up with a good coder, because your game looks incredible, but plays like a prototype made in 5 minutes.

There's a lot of buggy and confusing stuff, from the movement to the sacrificing mechanic itself, the game also lacks polish, because even though the sprites are really good, the animations, particles, screenshake, and juice in general, are not there.

Those poor bunnies!!! I included it in my GM48: Sacrifice compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/WwCrESwX77E

This game is good but needs more rhythm. Maybe some music. And finding 60 bunnies is quite long ! Nice work anyway ! ;)

Looks good, but there are some things you need to watch out for :

• there's not much to do, so avoid making the player wait on top of that. The sacrifice "animation" is way too long.
• the animations do not really fit with the artstyle. It would need to be either more detailed or more abstract (like moving the character sprite like a toy, jumping left and right), here it's a little weird between the two.
• moving speed is the key mechanic in the game, so it needs to be polished. But the way you did movement is adding vertical and horizontal speed. That means moving in a diagonal is way faster than just moving horizontally or vertically. Basically, with 2 bunnies, you can escape monsters if you move in diagonals.

Very nice art style and polish. Sound was a bit lacking, bushes were a nice touch, and bunnies were scarce (good thing, I think). Pretty good concept gameplay-wise, could have done with a bit more meat on its bones. But you did, understandably, only have 48 hours.

The graphics look very nice. I especially like the look of the monsters. The animation is a bit stiff, though. The audio is somewhat limited, but I think that suits the mood you were going for.

However, the gameplay is a little dull. I like the idea of more bunnies forcing you to move slower, but it never really felt worth it to carry more than one at a time. I also thought some of the bunnies were a bit hard to find, which leads to a lot of aimless wandering.

Nice take on the art! Animation was too rigid though, making it a bit disappointing, although it looks pretty nice!

I think you should have the choice to sacrifice bunnies when carrying them in order to move faster cause once you took 3 you can't get rid of them... (or at least, x did nothing)

I had a bug, i was running away from a big bunny (while carrying 3 bunnies) and when he touched me, we both got stucked and unable to move.

This game is beautiful and the ambience seems right (reminded me of a more colorful Don't Starve).

As a bunny fan myself and although displeased with your choice of theme for the game, I find the monster bunnies cute, the smaller ones even more, but I ran out of them and could not finish the game. Maybe you could work on a respawn system for them, as more sound effects and a fitting music to complete the game ambience.

Nice job!

superb graphics and effects, need more gameplay elements the game ends quickly.

Good graphics, view could have been more center to the player. Also something other than "Win" at the end could have been better.

I get the below error when I press a key on the first screen.

If it helps I'm running win 10 pro on a surface pro. I'm running studio 2 with no issue. Maybe it's a studio 1 issue with win 10?

-found the solution! You have to install the old directX runtimes. Here is the link to download and fix for anybody who has the same error. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8109

Funny, but quickly becomes boring. Nice graphics!

I liked what you tried to do with the artstyle, I'd really look forward to see how this style develops. Could've used a few more sound effects and maybe a 'bunny on you at the moment' counter. Also adding a timer to the end screen may be an idea, I keep accidentally click x on it.
