Great graphics, it reminded me a little of stardew valley.
A very great game i loved it , We some little tweaks this could become a cool mobile game if you had more level and maybe a way to customise your castle and your character before the game start and i think you should make a timer in the game so people will likely play more of it to make the best time. great job
That was adorable, great work!
REALLY love the graphics and music of this one!! (I also hate crabs a lot more now :') ) Great work!
@pietptr thank you!
@retrobarbare nice idea! thank you for your feedback!
@death-is-cold aww, you're adorable! thank you!
@cybikitty thank you for your kind words! me and @davidsimon were responsible for the graphics, and he animated the crabs, so all the credit for that goes to him, haha!
Rly cool! :D
It took me a bit to grasp what I was supposed to do with the materials, but once I've figured it out it was really fun. My wife had a blast watching the crabs gang over me and not let me get up lol xD
Really liked the art, the presentation and the way that you used the theme. The only part that I feel is lacking is in the player experience side of the game, the game is pretty challenging at the beginning, when the player is learning the game, but once the player get the hang of it, the game becomes a little stale. The game would benefit alot by implementing some kind of difficult curve, but overall a great game. :)
@DanielClarc will you believe me when I tell that they used to be wayy more aggressive? :DD thank you, I'm glad you had a good time!
@susumu-asaga great feedback, thank you, sadly not enough time to improve on that
Thank you! I had a really great time with your game! :smiley:
@vectorwolf very sweet of you to say! glad you enjoyed it!
I love the art style! The game, the website, all looks great!! Nice job!
@danielmotta thank you, I'm glad you liked them! <3
P.S. I really dig the spooky team avatars :D
Nice Art! Window on itch.io is cutted, please add some height in settings
Took me a minute to figure out what to do but then I got to it. Put in some hard work for that sweet sweet victory and I only got to see the finished castle for a couple of seconds! Lovely graphics in this one. Well done!
Those damn crabs!
@praleks yep we know about that one, we will fix it later, tx
@mashas @oskanberg @praleks Thank you guys for your feedback! :smile:
10/10 graphics, 10/10 gameplay, 10/10 game in my opinion my guy, absolute blast to play
Nice concept! The art was beautiful. Nice job.
Nice graphics but you should tell in the description (at least) what are the keys to move / grab ressources. Also I found that it was a bit too long to go to the next level of the sand castle. Overall nice entry, well done :smile:
@nachtwitch daymn, well thank you!
@dafral thank you! we're glad you've enjoyed it!
@antoined73 there's a Controls button in the main menu :slight_smile: thanks for playing!
I've never been so frustrated with crabs, nice work! I wanted to bash them on the head with rocks when they burrowed right at my sandcastle.
I think if there were a bit more mechanics for the player to use this game would feel more fun. Good entry, though.
@donut-daria Oh yeah I see ! Missed it ! Mention it in your game page anyway, you never know :wink:
@arkinrev haha, mission accomplished on our part then! :D thank you!
@bustosman isn't it true about all the games made for LD? haha thanks for playing
Good idea! I have to say, I love the art!
@ulisses thanks!
It took me quite a moment until I figured out which of the objects i can use to build something. Also, it takes really long to grab enough stuff and just walking around all day is not that fun... But nice art.
I think its normal when game is hard to understand, most of the jam games is hard to uderstand, I think simple image with tutorial what to do or some text about how do that, will be great. When I enter the game first few minutes I dont know what exactly I must to do and how build the castle. I only understand that I must avoid crabs and garbage. Fortunelty after next few minutes I get it :)
- (+) Pretty nice pixel art, I love nice pixel art games - (+) Team manage to compose soundtrack and its benefits in almost every jam gam :) - (-) absence of some kind of tutorial
BTW: Zdravim ceske kolegy :)
i think this game has quite a lot of charm although it lacks a bit of tutorials explaining for example how much each opbject gives points and what do some objects do, and also the crabs stunning you is quite annoying and the waves that destroy your castle are also not that much pleasant. Game is very charming though!
Very cute game, I clicked it just for the appeal of getting to build a sand castle. A few nits to pick here however: the stun mechanic gets frustrating, especially as the player character is slow and the movement isn't too elaborate that you'd pin skill on dodging crabs. Made my play a bit slow and repetitive past the 50% mark. That aside, I've built my castle and I'm happy. Congrats, keep it up!
@hadik There's a tutorial button in the menu, next to the Start. It has every button description in it, people don't notice it for some reason, huh. Thank you for the compliments, although we didn't compose the soundtrack - we opted-out of being rated in audio. Thanks for playing!
@essence we didn't want to make it too easy, our team prefers a challenge, but thanks for giving it a try
@fusionnist thank you!
