The presentation is beautiful!! Just loading it up and seeing the title screen and hearing the music made me smile. It was a bit hard to know what to do at times, though.

Very nice look! I got stuck on the "something sweet" part, since the fish guy stopped talking to me even though I thought I'd found the item. But enjoyed it a lot along the way. Game was funny too!
Wow - what a hidden gem! The drawn art is soooo cute, the voxel world/peeps are well made and adorable, the music is cute and good vibes - even the bleep bloop voices are awesome haha. I am seriously impressed with the dialogue / events system, especially in the time given - the story that unfolds and all the fun mini quests are great. That poor chicken actress :smile:
Fantastic job team!
Very pretty and funny characters! The music is also cute. Well done!
Great looking game. I got stuck in "something sweet moment". I am a little sad because I was curious about the plot
Cool game, and really charming graphics and music. It would have been great if I could walk a little faster though. For anyone getting stuck on the "something sweet" bit, there's a hint in what the churro guy says.
Pretty nice game with sweet graphic and great sound. I wonder though, why would you take churros from trash to the old lady
Wow ! I came to see your game following your comment... It's so pretty, well coded and especially damn good storytelling level ! Good Job ! Love your game <3
Very cute and lovable to play; Nice SFXs, incredible visuals and super funny lines!
I loved the game!
Overall, Miss Pumpkin is the best! :smile_cat:
Wow this is very impressive! I love the art style, the game was cute and felt complete, and the dialogue was great. This is my first game jam and I'm just impressed something like this could be made in 72 hours. I loved Lucy's final dialogue. I did a small amount of sequence skipping by just guessing a few times when I was offered a choice and then later found where I was supposed to learn the info.
That was a wild ride, I enjoyed this very much. Very charming and a great LD entry.
The art of this game is SO CUTE. Five stars for mood for me! My only complaint is that you have to stand in a very particular area to talk to the people, and sometimes, I had trouble getting the :) to show up. I love the storytelling and you guys should be proud of how polished this is!
Got stuck on needing to get the sweets for the romance quest after the kid not taking the money; I've talked to everybody (I think) but didn't get anything new.
Anyway! Super-cute looking. Good though that you've added character portraits, because for a bit I was sure that I'm playing for a red-bearded guy. :)
Loved your cute graphics. I would have loved to have the camera pulled back a bit, seemed a little close.
Also, small nit on the controls, it would be nice to be able to hit E or whatever to advance conversation rather than having to use the mouse. Seemed natural but didnt work.
Otherwise, nice job!
I really wish you could skip the slow talking animation. But other than that, really good! Cute graphics, and I loved that you could play with the cat
The graphics are phenomenal!
I love the graphics, sound and music! This game is very relaxing and makes me feel nice :) I'd like to spend more time in this little town! Nice dialogues and the plot. Great job!
Wow!This game is beautiful! I love the art, story and music :) Bom trabalho
Loved the art, it's so polished! Only one little thing: if the colliders for activating the dialogs were bigger the experience would be even smoother. Really good job! Congrats to the whole team :)
Really enjoyed this, love the cute voxel style, it was nice and refreshing to play something like this. Great job with all the branching dialogue and events as well!
The game is simply beautiful, the background music relaxing and the animations enjoyable to watch. Impressive work in such a short time!
Such a charming puzzle game, right from the title screen to the finish! I positively love the art direction for this - both the 3d and 2d art were wonderful, and they worked together well in a style that didn't make either feel out of place! The town was quite cute, and built in such a way that it wasn't overwhelmingly large or stressfully compact - it was just the right size to get the chance to feel like you were exploring without getting lost! The characters were cute, and I'd love to play an extended version where I got more opportunities to interact with each - the fisherman's interactions with Gertrude were cute! Not to mention the dialogue sounds were adorable!
The controls were easy to understand and follow, and the only glitch-esque issue I noticed was briefly trading places with the chicken man during his dialogue. The puzzle was also good to follow - I never felt like I didn't know what I was trying to do, even if like a few other players I struggled to get something sweet for Gertrude. This was mostly difficult because I checked the center garbage can and got a notice that nothing was there - it wasn't immediately apparent that the garbage cans weren't all different checks, so potentially some dialogue like 'There doesn't appear to be anything of interest in *this* trashcan' would go a long way to helping that confusion.
Ultimately - great work, and a delightful story! I can't wait for Miss Pumpkin starring in the hit sequel 'Slightly Faster but still just not Furious Enough'. ☆☆☆☆☆
Cute graphics and music, and the menu and character portraits are adorable! it would be nice if the trigger for talking to someone was a bit wider so you don't have to precisely face an NPC to talk. Other than that, playing through the game was smooth and fun.
Great job!
I don't know what to say at all. This game was just awesome!
Fun little game, the graphics are amazing, the only thing i have to complain about and that a little nitpick is the angle at which you have to be to interact with the npcs could be a bit wider, other than that, an amazing game! P.S. Sound design was on point! Drink water hydro homies!
I absolutely love the look and feel of this! Its quite impressive how much game you got in this, well, game. In especially liked the fruit lady :smile: Once I got stuck and didn't find the churros in the trash, maybe a little bit more guidance would be good here. Also it would be cool if you could use SPACE as alternative for ENTER.
Amazing work!
Hey, nice adventure, comrades! Very cute micro world and developed characters.
Wow! So polished, so nice! It lacks some feedback like when something is added to the inventory. The angle at which the "Interaction icon" appears is a bit narrow. Other than that everything is perfect. The writing, sound, music, graphics - everything's great. I loved every bit of it. The only thing I missed is how the girl ended up in the chest. But I think it's the story for another time.
@sarafilipa Hey, I promised to play your game so here I go.
So first of all, that title ! The plot chickens ! That's a high-tier pun ! Love it !
Second, Miss Pumkin is gorgeous ! Vin Petrol is so lucky to have acted alongside her ! To think they where an item at some point... What a lucky chad !
The game was funny, cute, and beautiful. I like how the road wraps around the voxel and I love the blinking traffic lights.
A full adventure written and put together in a game jam, that's impressive. Lots of good puns too.
Now for some criticism : If you can use "i" to open the inventory, it would be cool to also be able to close it by pushing "i". That was my very "eye-opening" critic... (get it?) I got stuck at the "something fresh" like lots of people. I checked the middle trashcan (blue I think) but found nothing at first. I only thought of checking the green trashcan because I read a comment talking about it. Finally, it would be a good idea to put invisible walls between the stands, since I slid in between two of them more than once. Overall, very few minor issues.
Apart from that, it was really fun and fresh (not like some churros I know about) and I had a blast.
Is this style voxel? It is a the most beautiful scene I have seen in the jam! On the other hand, these characters are so cute.
@stone-studio yes, it is voxel, made using MagicaVoxel :) Thanks for the comment!
I mean, the tittle alone should earn a trophy for best pun in LD48 (as far as I've seen). And the games follows the expectations as well! Really nice game, some great dialogue (including the pompous and rant ones xD), just missing some music and effects made for the game to really top it all. Really great job!
Great dialogues, amazing UI, graphics and music (even though it's a short loop, it's still a nice one). Cute characters and interesting story behind them. The puzzles were also nice. Thanks for the experience.
The voxel-style is really unique, the only game with this graphical style that I've seen this jam! The audio matches the tone perfectly and the dialogue is very well written. Excellent job!
