I love the graphic style that you choose, almost reminiscent of a yarn type look. The gameplay was overall pretty fun, simple, and entertaining.

gevernus 2020-10-05 12:43

Nice spin squirrel. Game is simple but art is cute

dominium11 2020-10-05 12:54

Loving the artstyle, its really simple but looks really good!

chris-fagan 2020-10-05 12:54

@nate-wert thank you for playing! My wife did an excellent job with the artwork and I'm happy to hear her fabric idea was well received.

chris-fagan 2020-10-05 12:55

@gevernus thanks for playing! Simple and cute is what we were going for :)

letterafterz 2020-10-05 13:06

What an awesome art style - really loved it, such a delightful little game. I only survived 40 seconds, that pesky pillbug broke me.

chris-fagan 2020-10-05 13:12

@dominium11 thank you! I'm really proud of the job my wife did on the art.

chris-fagan 2020-10-05 13:13

@letterafterz Thank you very much for playing it and leaving us your feedback! Glad you liked the art style!

40 seconds? Wow nice job - that's higher than my wife's high score :)

axeltherabbit 2020-10-05 14:59

Super cool graphics

thecze 2020-10-05 15:01

5 stars for the graphics! All in all a very solid game, nice smooth menu interactions and no rough edges. Great job!

chris-fagan 2020-10-06 06:31

@axeltherabbit thank you! My wife did such a great job!

chris-fagan 2020-10-06 06:32

@thecze Aww that'll make my wife so happy! She worked really hard on the art, and it's so lovely to see the nice comments about it. I'm really glad you enjoyed the game. Thank you very much for playing it!

deedz 2020-10-06 08:29

Great Game, adding it to the the playable list. Good Job Couldnt get very far but I'm curios what the record is. Is it beatable?

chris-fagan 2020-10-06 09:35

@deedz Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it :) My record on mobile is 69 seconds, my wife got 37 seconds. On PC I've had around 150 seconds. I'm sure there is someone out there that can beat these scores!

chocolat-endive 2020-10-06 13:19

The artwork/graphics are great! The squirrel is super cute. The mini-game is simple, but flawless. Some kind of highscore screen could be a nice addition!

heho 2020-10-06 13:20

the graphics are well chosen and fit very nicely together. Great Style.

duanra 2020-10-06 13:26

The graphic you chose is original, i like it ! The gameplay is classic but it works ! ;) Nice job !

geegaz 2020-10-06 13:34

Loved the art ! I think the lack of visual clues or clear distinction between the objects and the background made it a bit hard to navigate at times. But else, good job !

chris-fagan 2020-10-06 15:23

@chocolat-endive Thank you so much for the kind words! We wanted to do a high score system, but unfortunately ran out of time.

chris-fagan 2020-10-06 15:32

@heho Thank you very much!

chris-fagan 2020-10-06 15:41

@duanra Thank you very much for the kind words!

chris-fagan 2020-10-06 15:42

@geegaz Thank you for the feedback! And thanks for playing. Glad you enjoyed it :)

andriirinah 2020-10-06 20:20

Hello, really liked the style. Great experience. Good job!

chris-fagan 2020-10-06 20:43

@andriirinah Thank you!

eugenik 2020-10-06 20:59

Feels like a complete game! Very cool!

nikolai-shkurkin 2020-10-07 03:21

Awww so cute! :chipmunk: Yeah I agree with everyone else that the art is really spot-on. I think I mostly got hit by the blue spikes... they can be hard to spot moving so fast. Something simple like placing a glow are shadow around the flying pieces as well as showing an alert on the screen where the projectile is coming from could be a huge help.

Also, thank you for giving our game Boomie multiple shots @chris-fagan while we figured out our crashes :smile: Cheers!

etrealjunior 2020-10-07 10:10

I liked your game my congratulations, I also did one if you want to know, and give me your feedback I am very grateful, this is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/resurrection

spyranteros 2020-10-07 19:43

A simple game with great art and well polished. It is so lovely when couples make games together!

klaus-peter 2020-10-07 19:57

Wouldn't the point of the nest be to protect the sqirrel from wind and weather? :smile:

chris-fagan 2020-10-09 15:11

@eugenik Aww thank you very much! I'm really pleased with the scope we set to achieve something well polished!

chris-fagan 2020-10-09 15:14

@nikolai-shkurkin Thank you for the kind words about the artwork! We were super happy with how that turned out :)

Those are some fantastic suggestions for improving the readability of the projectiles... I wish we would have thought of those last week haha.

You're welcome! Great game jam all around :)

chris-fagan 2020-10-09 15:16

@spyranteros Thank you! We always have a blast making things and being creative together, this seemed like a no-brainer to join!

chris-fagan 2020-10-09 15:17

@klaus-peter You're not wrong... :)

chris-fagan 2020-10-09 15:18

@etrealjunior Thanks!

saunik 2020-10-09 16:16

Simple, easy to understand, very fun ! My favourite part of the game are the graphics ! They look very cute ! Great job !

etrealjunior 2020-10-09 16:59

Hi all right, I love meeting other users who use the construct, I really liked their art style reminded me of some game games I saw made with blender, I have an observation that can make your art become more immersive, try to distance the elements using the shadow as a base, many times they don’t know the power of this tool is huge, I’ll be following you on the itch, if you want to know my games made in the construct I recommend seeing the vox_venture that I play with the feeling of depth, and also if you want to evaluate my game I am grateful, a big hug.

merzlot 2020-10-11 15:57

Very cool graphics! And very fun game overall, good job!

olima 2020-10-11 20:33

Easy to understand but fun gameplay, nice art style and thumbs up for the title!

teronk 2020-10-12 11:19

Really cool, was actually thinking to make a similar one like this in the beginning :D Well done!

chris-fagan 2020-10-22 12:08

@saunik Thank you very much :)

chris-fagan 2020-10-22 12:09

@etrealjunior Yeah I really enjoy using Construct - I think it's such an underrated engine! Thank you for the kind words and feedback!

chris-fagan 2020-10-22 12:09

@merzlot Thank you!

chris-fagan 2020-10-22 12:09

@olima Thank you for the kind words! You're the first to mention the title haha

chris-fagan 2020-10-22 12:10

@teronk Thank you!

arron-fowler 2020-10-22 12:53

This is a really class entry. The art style is perfect. I really enjoyed it. Nice to play as a non Hamster rodent too.

sli 2020-10-22 20:37

This was fun. A little challenging I think, but yes pretty fun. Maybe you could start just a little bit slower. I liked the graphics. Over all good job!

chris-fagan 2020-10-23 09:22

@arron-fowler Thank you very much for the kind words! We need more squirrel games!

chris-fagan 2020-10-23 09:23

@sli Thank you! Yeah varying difficulties and more of a difficulty curve were things we would have added if we had more time for sure.

hectora 2020-10-24 02:54

Cozy fall vibes~

papaver 2020-10-24 11:09

Cute game, with a cute title and cute art! And quite hard! :open_mouth: The blue pointy things were quite hard to avoid, since they are not very well visible. I would have liked to be able to restart the game with key in stead of mouse. I missed the impact sound of the purple ball, so I was hoping for a bit that it was increasing my health, but it wasn't. :wink: Well done!

revanj 2020-10-25 12:57

Thank you for the awesome game! The aesthetic of the game certainly got some feels to it. Though when I was playing the game, the long hit-box of the squirrel made it so hard to doge everything. That's just a part of the game, I guess.

likirus 2020-10-26 12:42

Very nice and beautiful game, and I love squirrels, so you had me there ;)
