Liked it, fun little game, wish I had more time to play right now :/

ddionisio 2013-04-29 18:20

omg, this game is awesome! I love the art and color scheme! Lots of details all around the village. I see there's a cameo of a little known soap bar in the game too ;)

jimmylord 2013-04-29 18:23

Fantastic, really enjoyed it. The jump for the underground feather was a bit too precise given the ease of the rest of the game. Loved the visuals and smooth platforming.

fabienporee 2013-04-29 18:26

Very pretty. Maybe I wish there was a bit more to it than collecting stuff scattered around, but hey, this is nonviolent and humble and cute so that's okay!

patacorow 2013-04-29 18:33

Thanks everybody! And Fabien, we went for the 'collection' gameplay because we believed it would be minimalistic. :)

edocentrique 2013-04-29 18:34

It's very very good I sincerely hope that you'll make more of this !

adventureislands 2013-04-29 19:01

Very well done game! Very solid overall, the controls were good, the music, sounds were nice, the world, characters were funny and interesting.

The only thing I didn't like were couple of very precise jumps needed to get some feathers like the one underground. but other than that, this game was awesome!

mushbuh 2013-04-29 19:01

It was a fun game, but not very minimal

free_napalm 2013-04-29 19:04

I really liked the mood in this one. It felt like playing a jolly level in an early Spyro game.

galman 2013-04-29 19:30

Excellent game! I love it! It's fun, amazing graphics, lovely music and the mood is great. 5/5 :D I read all the dialogs, I found some weird bugs(passed through walls) and talked to Alfred the dog :)

Thanks man! Means a lot to us. Good luck with your game, it's great!

gravitygames 2013-04-29 22:49

I must say, this is probably one of my favorite entries yet! The graphics and sound have a quirky feel to them, and the stage is well designed for the most part. The only real problem I see is that it doesn't fit the theme well...

HelkeGames 2013-04-30 09:47

Love this game :)

manabreak 2013-04-30 09:50

Absolutely fantastic! From the first seconds onwards, I had a smirk on my face and I really wanted to explore around. This is a game I will definitely come back to!

fullmontis 2013-04-30 09:56

This is so charming! You did an amazing job at the graphics. Still, even though it was fun to go around the town the fetching quests never appealed to me.

er_dos 2013-04-30 09:57

lol "We've been raising potatoes in this plot for years!"
Really nice little game, graphics/music/mechanics are all really nice. I like the little interactions you have with the inhabitants!

aceria 2013-04-30 10:13

Aww, that's adorable. I love the random people saying things.

BIRDS! :D

Not particularly 'minimalism' though... But then again, this is a game jam and so everything is going to be fairly minimal - it's not your fault that the theme wasn't much to work with!

ludipe 2013-04-30 15:33

Wow, absolutely amazing, I love it. My favourite game so far on this edition. You did a great job! I just wish it was longer.

chman 2013-04-30 15:45

Fun game, although I'm not sure how it fits the theme. The controls could need some work, the jump isn't very precise. The flying part feels great though.

patacorow 2013-04-30 16:38

For anyone wondering about the theme, we went for a minimalistic story, characters and design. Sorry we couldn't do it right :P

soerensen3 2013-04-30 17:00

wow! amazing game. and it fits the theme i think with it's gameboy graphics and sound quite well!

freezx 2013-04-30 22:05

Fun game :D

potentialing 2013-05-01 04:15

Absolutely adorkable, I love the atmosphere this entry has, and the dialogue is quite humorous. The song is ridiculously catchy (I don't even care if it's fakebit, that's an awesome composition asdlkgjdflkgh)

The theme definitely worked for simplicity, and I loved the direction you went with it. Amazing job with this Jam entry, this is getting a high score from me. Hope you consider polishing it up post-compo!

nanolotl 2013-05-01 04:59

Really great graphical style and atmosphere. The platformer physics were fun too. I only managed to find 9 feathers though...

ilovepixel 2013-05-01 06:53

Great graphics and gameplay I enjoyed all way!

ryusui 2013-05-01 07:08

The only problem with this game is that there isn't more of it. Love the NPC banter. :3

pixelfan 2013-05-01 20:35

Very pretty and funny, i like it the sounds the graphics, the gameplay GOOD JOB!

adipson 2013-05-04 08:31

very funny congratulations !

pierrec 2013-05-04 08:38

OooOooOoohh this game just feels so good!
I whish I had it on my gameboy as a kid
It's just a simple platformer but...I don't know...it just works!
I can't find the last feather though...I guess I'll never fly :(

dew 2013-05-04 08:49

Lovely Art!

eggdestroyer 2013-05-04 08:49

I'm impressed :) The game looks gorgeous, is very simple yet satisfying to control, and put me in a good mood as it's so super-fluffy and colorful :) It's not super innovative and the King should be more accessible to prevent any pointless roaming, but that's nitpicking.

icecliff 2013-05-04 09:20

I wasn't too much of a fan of the graphics tbh, that was what lost me. The gameplay was pretty decent!

patacorow 2013-05-04 09:41

@Pierrec try looking on top of houses and underground ;)

imagnity 2013-05-06 11:42

A true 5-star entry. Really enjoyed this one. Bravo! :)

patacorow 2013-05-06 13:24

Thank you so much!!

martianwatts 2013-05-07 05:29

I love it! Mainly the art, good job

floko 2013-05-07 12:17

Nice graphics and good pacing. Great job =]

drkrunk 2013-05-08 17:20

Pretty fun! I liked it.

kill0u 2013-05-10 11:31

Cute game

lotusgame 2013-05-14 12:12

What a cute game ! I like every aspect ! The only criticism I can make is that the game is too short.. I want more :)

kibertoad 2013-05-14 12:26

Little birdies and bench on a cloud were impressive little details. Overall, nicely polished entry that is enjoyable and has great atmosphere. Thumbs up!

lorancou 2013-05-14 13:45

Great game ... Give us more levels :D

orangeez 2013-05-14 15:53

Simply wonderful.

ohsqueezy 2013-05-14 18:02

Yay! :D Cute and fun!

m-gryko85 2013-05-14 18:25

Just amazing. I don't know where to start. Graphics and music are excelent but the best thing is the feeling of clear joy and fun while you play this game. Great job!

sylvain-p 2013-05-15 00:04

Well... really nice and cute game...and welle polished too...but not in the theme.

madball 2013-05-15 09:27

Great! The game is very detailed. I think you can extend it.

kefir 2013-05-15 22:15

Really nice little classic platformer! Somehow it reminds me "Mickey's Safari in Letterland" from NES. Really good job! Not really fits the theme IMO, but it doesn't make this awsome game any worse :)

The last digit of PI is BAWK!
