Dont Knock It Till You Try It

You have a petition that needs as many signatures as possible before the timer runs out. Your job is to knock on doors and get people to sign it. Though speed is important, your reaction time is even more so, as the amount of times you need to knock is randomized between 1-6 knocks. Once the door opens you must stop knocking, or you will punch the person and lose time in return. Once the door is open, if you press spacebar, the person will sign your petition, and your score will increase, as well as your time. Keep going until the timer runs out and get the highest score you can!

'Dont Knock It Till You Try It' is a knocking simulator made for the Brackey's Game Jam 2024.1. The theme was "whats behind the door?" so naturally I wanted to do something with knocking. I am a beginner at gamedev, with only one tutorial completed under my belt, but I wanted to get into making my own games as quick as possible. So, I decided that with my limited knowledge, I wanted to make a game where you test your reaction time and click speed by knocking on doors are stopping when the door opens. My favorite part was creating my first ever sprite sheet where the faces, hair and shirt was randomized. Let me know what you think! I will be uploading a video of me making this game on my youtube channel (MeniMeno) once the results are out!

the name of the game on the description is wrong, it says "dont knock it till you try it" instead of "dont knock it till you sign it"

For Mac Chrome users, there's a pretty simple workaround to get this (and other Godot 4 games) to load without making the browser freeze for minutes.

Type chrome://flags/#use-angle in your address bar and hit Enter, and then a settings page will load where you should see a section at the top called Choose ANGLE graphics backend.

Click on the dropdown next to it and change the value to Metal. You'll be prompted to let the browser restart. After it restarts, you'll be able to load and play this great game with no problems. Enjoy!

P.S. This also works for other Chromium-based browsers, such as Opera, Edge, Thorium, etc. If changing this setting causes you any problems with other web pages (it hasn't for me), you can always change it back the same way. Just return to that page and choose Default or OpenGL instead.

nice game

This is an awesome cute game, the only thing I would improve on next time:
 - You can spam space and click to just speed through it.
Solution:
 - Make it so whenvere you press space it gives less time, or makes you loose points :)

Over all, I thought it was one of the funnest sweet little games I've played in a while!

Great game! It makes you want to beat your own record every time! 😤

Fun concept! I like the changing background and different characters each time. I did find a way to kind of cheat by rapidly pressing both the spacebar and the mouse at the same time. Maybe make pressing the spacebar loose time if the door is closed so you can only press the spacebar when a person is available. Nice work!
