Nice game! and so cuteXDD

Good - Solid game with high polish - Great graphic design matches well with music - The sacrifice mechanic is quite unique and forces players to think a little

Could be better - Not sure how the join/unjoin mechanic worked

very cute, even when they die! :smile:

briskimj 2018-12-06 02:06

This fits the theme perfectly.

nkrim 2018-12-06 02:07

Very cool, would've loved to see more levels to explore the mechanics and their consequences more, but it's still great fun and very interesting.

jesse-santana 2018-12-06 02:09

@nkrim Thank you! Yes, we would love to have more time and go deep on the levels too. We will probably work on this after the jam ends and we get some feedback!

jesse-santana 2018-12-06 02:15

@kambing Thanks for the nice feedback! You don't know how much it mean for us, we loved doing this \o/

And actually there is only an "unjoin" mechanic, there is no "join" (not through the player). When we first thought of the mechanic that was something we had in mind but it was too difficult to make it understadable (like: would we make the player click both hands to join them? would we make it by distance? would it be clear for the user?) So we decided to not implement it. Maybe we will think in a good way to do it later. If you have a suggestion I would love to hear it!

So cute! I found the controls a little annoying with their bodies blocking me, but other than that I had a good old time! XD

kambing 2018-12-06 02:21

@jesse-santana one suggestion I have would be to make everything snap to an isometric grid, so that you can be precise with the movements. (think Snake?) Theres many times where i dragged something and it accidentally exposed a poor candy to the wrong line and it died.

jesse-santana 2018-12-06 02:22

@briskimj Thank you so much!

jesse-santana 2018-12-06 02:23

@angelnm Hahahah! We tried to focus on the "cute" (it is style we love hahah) <3

jesse-santana 2018-12-06 02:24

@abso Oh my god, thank you SO MUCH for the kind words!! Of course I'll check it out. =]

This was a great little puzzle game! Concept feels pretty original. Art is cute and music fits great too. Would probably make a great mobile game. Definitely see potential here.

justinmullin 2018-12-06 02:55

Hah, the animations and everything are so great! Dragging the candies around feels great, though it was a little strange to me that I couldn't get the chain of candies into the goal all together, and had to drag each in separately. That's a minor thing though. Apart from the fact that I'm now guilt-ridden about candy murder, I'm quite pleased with this little game. Bite-sized puzzling, not too long, and well polished. Nicely done!

cute af lol

it was morbidly funny to watch all the other food smile and laugh while you burn one in a frying pan. congratulations on the first jam together.

gizmolo 2018-12-06 04:32

I like the idea, I think with more levels you could really flesh out the mechanics. Although I thought it was a strange game at first, the tutorials were really helpful. Good music, cute art, and a fun mechanic. Job well done.

I am sick, I feel really satisfying when killing these little cute things, the hands pop out feeling just too good

pudding 2018-12-06 05:28

Controls can be weird at times but otherwise an amazing game with amazing art!

daltonleavey 2018-12-06 05:51

Really great! Simple but challenging. Dragging the candy around looks and feels really smooth. The color palette and art style are amazing! Hate watching those tasty looking little cuties get left behind but sacrifices have to be made haha. It was a little short and having to drag each candy individually into the winning area was a little annoying but very awesome stuff. Great work!

purpledartfrog 2018-12-06 07:46

Really cute game and well polished :smiley:

So cute!! Love the art and music, and the idea is also pretty interesting. The animations are amazing, they give an amazing touch to the game XD The only thing I would add are more levels xD i need this game.
