Finally got around to playing this and it did not disappoint. You weirdly captured my exact mental image of Dave and Barney, and I love how you just sat there while the kitchen was on fire. Looking forward to checking out the sequel soon!
Hey Amy! As you know, we had a lot of fun playing Hoofield on stream, thank you for this! 🥰 I wrote short descriptions of all the submissions for our blog, let me add this here:
Hoofield is a wonderful love letter to Powerhoof, a studio that is best known for its dungeon crawler Crawl and the 2D adventure toolkit PowerQuest, as well as the famous TV series Seinfeld.
This is such a satisfying game that we actually managed to complete in the short time we had. It throws you right into the Sitcom-feeling and leaves you with a lot of sympathy for its limited cast of characters – like PowerHoof's Dave, who really just wants to relax for a minute after releasing their latest masterpiece. But will his neighbors let him?
Thank you for the wonderful summary of your experience with the game, it's greatly appreciated! SucculentBacon and I really enjoyed watching you play the game on stream. :)
I just love how it feels...like jazz? It brings that vibe from early LucasArts games where the dialogue wasn't polished as much, felt way more natural and humorous. I would have loved more descriptions for the various objects as the ones that are there are pretty funny - a larger world might have alleviated this perception but for a game jam, it's definitely memorable!
Thank you very much for the very kind words, Simon! Never thought our silly little game could ever get compared to early LucasArts! Sadly we ran out of time to add more descriptions, and there was some placeholder stuff that I'd like to polish a bit more, but I do agree that part of the charm is its roughness. :)
Had a lot of fun with this. Reminiscent of some of my favourite puzzles in Monkey Island. One of the few times a game's dialogue has been funny enough to make me literally laugh out loud (which led to some concerned looks from my parents who I was visiting).

I just gave this a play. Very nice!
I was shocked by the swearing all over the place!
But loved the running. And the recipe.
Bravo!
That's just how Aussies speak, cobber! Fair dinkum!

Hah, thank you! We had a lot of fun making this silly little love letter to Powerhoof. Hopefully we'll be able to make more of this someday!

This brought back a lot of Senfeld memories. And for people who know Powerhoof games, it's a treat. Really sweet work in the jam. :)
Thank you, I enjoyed your video too!

I like it to be about game developers :D Cool game
Thank you!

Thank you, Steven! Your games have always entertained me in the past as well. :)
