A nice lemmings style game.... It lacks some gameplay stuff to be completely fun. For example in level 3 it is non-obvious that clouds can be hit. and the offlimit areas are not clear. And sometimes the little guys accelerate too much (I managed to get a floating point exception once, after surrounding the entry with clouds.

Kind on lemmings reminiscent i can really spend a lot of time bouncing the little grossinis in the clowds and not get bored

My favorite part is shooting the little men in suits around the sky :D seriously, it's a good game!

How to finish the 3th level?
The README is not very helpful in explaining how to play the game.

Interesting game. It reminds me of the old-old lemmings.

at some moment (with a lot of clouds and some very high-velocity grossinis) the game was stuck for a couple of moments and then raised some overflow exception (i couldn't see, the console window was closed fast)

anyways, this is the last game i get to rate (by chance) and the first that i rate with "exceptional". kudos!

Quite challenging!

very fun and difficult

I only liked the first level and didn't manage to delete the clouds in the later ones, which
seemed to be necessary?? readme wasn't up to date either. hm... maybe just the level design
wasn't good, but I couldn't get into it (also my friend here is complaining about the music and I
couldn't turn it off)

Ooh, bouncy lemmings. Sometimes I thought it was a bit hard, but the idea is original and great. The intro was quite fun, too.

4 3 4

funny game :D

A fun bouncing Lemmings game. Some of the mechanics were confusing or surprising (clouds can disappear?).

3 3 3

+ Nice menu
+ physics inspired bouncing games are fun
- About half of the levels are very hard.
- The game itself isnt as nice as the menu.

Great use of the theme. I love the wackiness of throwing grossini around! nicely polished production too

This was a very cool game and one of my favorites. Everything just works and it's very fun to play. Also very addictive.

Neat game! I was really impressed with this game from a technical and gameplay standpoint. Nice stuff! I didn't really enjoy the somewhat sexual and derogatory humor (like David Hasselhoff) -- it's really not my bag. However, from a game standpoint, I did enjoy playing through it, and after enough tries I was able to beat all of the levels.
It's very hard to control the game -- unlike something like Lemmings where I can anticipate what's going to happen, this game was much harder to do that with, and it felt like a lot more of a trial-and-error kind of game rather than a puzzle game. Still, it was a lot of fun, and I'm thankful that you had a level select option, or it wouldn't have been fun at all.
The cutscenes were very well done, and I was impressed with the production level of the game.
All said, very well done!

Very cool. Some of the music was a bit odd.

Interesting game, like the concept, although the physics and level design don't feel as fun as it could be. Shows a lot of promise.

3 5 3

I didn't really get into it myself, but the game looks and sounds really nice.

1 1 1 yes

Exception :S

Very nice entry. Reasonable difficulty, but could use better level design. I just wonder why
the music does not loop or why not another music starts playing after the first one stops,
though.

Grossini is a classy guy.

Very high production values indeed. Nice graphics, menu, cut scenes, music, sound effects. credits. My compliments! The game was also fun to play and I will get back to it again to get through various levels.

One thing you do need to fix is the accompanying documentation. You did not adjust the README.txt at all, for instance. I was also wondering about the license of the music - there was no accompanying license that I could find, though from the jamendo site it is probably some form of creative commons.

I can't see anything wrong with this game.

Excellent work! Thank you!

Good stuff. The audio side of things is great, and I don't have much to complain about the visual
part either. My biggest complaint is about the game's tendency to crash very often, and the
second biggest about the gameplay: while the idea is innovative and fun, the levels get quite
hard very quickly. A more Lemmings-like approach with perhaps a short countdown timer before
the guys start falling could be good, and scoring based on how much cloud material or time was
used could be a nice feature too.

Excellent game!!!

Very funny voice for Grossini. Love the cloud concept.

I really liked this game. Nice music, a good idea and good execution.

3 4 3

Nice production values (intro was funny!) and use of the theme, but didn't really find the game
all that fun. After the 2nd or 3rd level, there is a level where the exit is all blocked out in a
triangle?

Really nice looking. Oh wait it's just a lemmings clone. hehe.

2 2 2 yes

The game didn't work for me. It crashed at the beginning of every level. Here is the console output:

sin numpy
30 1
21.0 1
201.0 3
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Aborted

4 3 4

Cool, but hard.

Interesting game, reminded in some ways of the lemmings. I was a bit to slow to be able to complete the later levels.

Bizarre. Who is that guy?

Took me a while to finish. On the ones with two spawn points it seems the best way to go is to work with just one. Also, in the unbuildable areas it sometimes let me build really short clouds.

I'm not sure how it fits the theme, but most levels have the door above the spawn, so I suppose that works.

Had a few crash problems. The debug messages in the console app seem to be causing crashes. Full screen doesn't work either.

Nice and entertaining game. I got a good laugh with many Grossinis bouncing around in strange trajectories and finally hitting the door. =)
