Found a bug with some of the dialogue and the end of the game and will be uploading a new build momentarily!

kirill-venzhin 2017-12-05 03:36

awesome graph, but game so' muddy( whatever, gl!

goplite 2017-12-05 15:20

There is only .exe file on both links, no data folder, can't play game.

piootrek 2017-12-05 20:57

Check your Itch.io there is only .exe file it's not enough to run your game :(

serpentworks-games 2017-12-05 23:31

@goplite @piootrek :0 OH WOW I will go fix that! Thanks for letting me know!

jack-maxwell 2017-12-06 02:14

Text and UI is rather simple, I suspect that you were rushed and had to make something quick haha. Its a very fun game and an intresting concept. Great submission!

serpentworks-games 2017-12-06 02:39

@jack-maxwell Haha yeah I left it for last if I was going to make it fancy, and the text I originally used was unreadable, so I had to go simple. Thanks for the feedback!

thristhart 2017-12-06 03:58

super charming! all the characters seem like fun guys. :mushroom:

serpentworks-games 2017-12-06 04:21

Thanks @thristhart !

z4zion 2017-12-06 07:37

Nice Art!!!!

2017-12-06 22:49

Alright, making this in 72 hours is honestly impressive.

juxipolo 2017-12-06 22:54

I kept wanting to just hold the mouse button and keep moving towards the pointer. a little bit of feedback when you click on the mushrooms chasing you would also be nice.

serpentworks-games 2017-12-07 00:07

@maksim-nikolaev Aw thanks! To be honest, having assets I didn't have to make myself helped XD;;

@juxipolo Yeah the game does lack decent feedback, visually and soundwise. After the voting, I'm gunna polish it up with some better player feedback. :)

professor 2017-12-07 03:03

Interesting game. Thanks for sharing.

tinykidtoo 2017-12-07 03:17

I thought this had an interesting story. But I feel very confused. Like I was on mushrooms or something.

sorlok 2017-12-07 03:52

Very interesting! I made it to the end, but it wasn't always clear how my choices were having any effect. I liked the limitation on using too much magic (i.e., taking more damage). The look of the game was quite good too. Neat storytelling!

wheffle 2017-12-07 22:46

This had me laughing out loud. Fantastic dialogue! I enjoyed my playthrough, although I feel a little bit bad about incinerating so many mushroom people. Oh well.

fangzhangmnm 2017-12-08 06:00

The music fits the game world very well-- all of them are non-understandable and mysterious. And you showed me how powerful voxel can be in fast-making a world. Good job!

blazen 2017-12-08 06:05

Great graphics and music, very original.

serpentworks-games 2017-12-08 07:07

@professor You're welcome!

@tinykidtoo ;-D

@sorlok Yeah it wasn't super clear how the choices would actually affect things. I'm glad you enjoyed though!

@Wheffle YES! Maximum hilarity achieved!

@fangzhangmnm Thanks! I didn't use any voxels to make this! Just modular 3D assets :3

@Blazen Thanks!

ted 2017-12-08 11:59

Funny, with good art. Really liked the approach into town and the weird story. Nice one!

wakka2 2017-12-08 12:22

Very humorous game. Loved the art of the town and the music and the writing of course.

simonhutchinson 2017-12-08 23:48

Neat! Not at all what I expected from the description, but much funnier. Great job with the art, especially in such a short timeframe.

It needs some music!

cliff-lee-cl 2017-12-09 03:46

Good job with the scripting!

I would say that the gameplay mechanism needs to be polished more. It seems that the main part is the dialog adventure game but adds additional parts to fit the theme.

serpentworks-games 2017-12-09 09:08

@ted @wakka2 Thanks!

@simonhutchinson I swear it's got music! XD I'm glad it was funnier than your expectations!

@cliff-lee-cl You know, that's a really good point. It's definitely lacking something, and had I not decided to try to create a dialogue system halfway through the jam I would have put into place some other mechanics that I'd been prototyping the day before. It's something I'm looking into to expand and polish on outside of the jam. Thanks for the honest critique!

gwolf86 2017-12-09 12:03

Interesting take on the theme. The dialogue was well written and full of funny references. The game outside of the dialogue didn't really seem to do much. It looks like quite an ambitious project, so I can understand why some elements are missing. I'd love to play a later version of the game though, once you've finished adding in all the core features you wanted. It's a really creative idea.

cg-fred 2017-12-09 14:40

Very nice and charming dialog. Would have loved to have some SFX on the magic you cast in the dialog :) Very nice graphics. The music was maybe a bit too heretical for the game, would recommend a softer more adventure type of song. Great start of a good game!

ciaranw 2017-12-09 18:05

Nice game! I know you didn't make the art assets but it is still visually well put together!

The script was pretty funny actually, and I enjoyed playing though. Could probably have done with a run through a spell checker as there were loads of spelling mistakes, but obviously not the end of the world. It was nice to have (what appeared to be) a branching story too.

Good game!

lazard 2017-12-11 15:24

Great, I had fun playing through ! Graphism is neat, the music is nice and the gameplay is really fun ! I'm sure you will -magically- ascend to the top with this game ;)

hiki911 2017-12-13 20:07

really funny game about mushrooms =) GJ!

tvance 2017-12-13 22:37

Pretty good adventure game for a jam. It looks very nice. The music doesn't seem to match the setting/mood though.

goat-toaster-games 2017-12-14 06:30

Haha the dialogue was fantastic. I love the graphics, though I wish there may have been a bit of animation going on with the player and mushrooms. Would've been great to see them actually flailing! Music was very fitting too :)

robert-newman 2017-12-17 01:16

Is the mushrooms a hint? do they help the game take on all new meaning lol

Love the music and really fun game

sgadrat 2017-12-26 16:39

The music is really good at putting the runaway mood of your game, graphics are cute and story telling is really nice. Maybe the game could be a little harder, I succeed on my first run filling almost nothing in the magic bar and losing very little health. It is clearly a really pleasant short-story anyway, thank you for sharing!
