Love it. Reminds me a lot of Katamari Damacy.

Cramming such a long title together in an aesthetically pleasing way was a bit of a challenge.
I realized a while back the word is actually "chindouchuu" but screw that, I'm going with what the cartridge says
I also realized I have to work all day tomorrow. Oops! Hope we get that extension, or no compo entry for miconazole.

[miconazole]

I sat down and wrote down everything I have left to do. The list is... longer than I thought :S

But hey, at least I have a title screen now.

[Chubysnow]

It is coming along pretty well, look at all of the people who want you to finish. Keep trying dude.

[Inanimate]

This game is seriously beautiful and sounding great. Best of luck!

[miconazole]

Well, this is as much as I'm going to get done before the deadline! It feels a little... unfinished, probably because I haven't really sorted my colours out and everything blend into everything else a little. But I guess it's too late to worry about that! I hope this lives up to your expectations :V

Now with that said... I spent so much time creating graphics the past couple of days I haven't really tested a whole lot, plus this game is actually pretty damn hard to play alone. So I'm gonna to seek out some friends for some last-minute testing, but in the meantime here's the demo:

-- link removed, look below --

And here's a request for all of you: if you film yourself playing this game with friends, I will draw portraits of all of you as onion-heads. This is a multiplayer game, guys!

[miconazole]

Actually disregard that, here's a slightly updated version with some minor bugfixes: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2907197/Tamanegi02.zip

Good job on this game. The graphics were very fun to watch. Unfortunatly I found it quite difficult, but I'll see how it plays when I round up some friends.
Oh, also, if possible, I'd love to see a fullscreen option.

[miconazole]

Yeah, I was a little torn on the difficulty. While testing it alone I turned off the collision events for two out of three onion heads and found it fairly easy. When I turned them on I found it impossible to finish (well maybe I could have, I didn't spend that much time trying). When I played with friends it took us 20 minutes to clear the level which seems excessive for such a small demo, though a good part of that was us adjusting to the controls. I might turn down the difficulty in the future, but for now it could be a good thing since it pads the play time a little (lol). In any case it is designed to be very difficult for a single player, so sorry :V

I uploaded a new version that lets you switch between screen modes with F4. Can't be bothered updating the version number, though I did squash a minor graphical bug while I was at it.

i manage to play 1 man but its really cramping having one hand on DHL and the other on SGK, so to mention they're crossed

Damn onion dude kept slapping the barrier

[miconazole]

Guys, is the difficulty TOO ridiculous? I now find it pretty easy to beat it alone, but I fear I've fallen into the game creator's trap of thinking everything is a piece of cake due to having playtested everything a million times. I'd especially like to hear from anyone who has played this with others.

[deathtotheweird]

ya its pretty hard. but im playing by myself.

love the graphics and music/sound effects though.

[J. R. Hill]

Oh man this really came together well!
That title screen is like my favorite title screen of all time.

[moonmagic]

Well done you! This game is absolutely delightful, and makes me feel happy even when I try to play it by myself.

[Toadsanime]

Games looks absolutely stunning, I'll be sure to download it now and give it a go, even if I am on my own at the moment.

And if you're sticking to that offer of drawing people as onion-heads if they upload a video of them with friends playing the game, I'll definitely do that at some point.

Make it so the 3rd Onion still has a button, but instead of contributing it just does something silly, like give the horse a mustache or something.

I loved this idea, but of course I guess it's impossible now unless you randomly implement this anyway where a random button causes this to happen.

[gingerbeardman]

Really like the look.

Could do with more animation, and save points (I've struggled on and only got to the third hurdle!)

Good work, though.

[miconazole]

And if you're sticking to that offer of drawing people as onion-heads if they upload a video of them with friends playing the game, I'll definitely do that at some point.

Oh, I've already made good on that promise. If you send me a video I'll definitely draw you :V

And I guess that settles it, I'll tone down the difficulty in future releases. Sorry guys!

[QuaziGNRLnose]

i dont think youve fallen into that trap, although maybe its because im used to playing games that do, *cough* NES&SNES 3rd party games *cough* and my own games.

i never really did enjoy games that are just a walk in the park, winning something frustrating makes it oh so much more enjoyable.

[Melly]

First of all, mighty charming graphics you got there. I imagine this game must be great fun with two buddies, but alas I don't have two buddies with me right now. I'll be sure to try and get an opportunity, though my friends don't tend to like this kind of game.

I'm not sure you know, but you can jump 'over' the fence, or at least jump at the right time for all onions to avoid it, but it's sometimes impossible so I don't think that's an issue.

[miconazole]

Haha, yeah, I noticed that, though I was hoping no one else would. Sadly, one of my friends did... and you... and probably plenty of others too. Whoops. Right now the horse gets an additional speed boost when it begins to jump, and I'm getting rid of that in the future because it's annoying rocketing halfway across the screen every time you jump. Plus it makes clearing pits too easy, when the allowance for that is generous enough already. So hopefully this'll also make it impossible to simply jump the horse over barriers, otherwise I'll have to edit the sprites.
