Soooooooo cooool graphic! And great mood)
I love the art style!
THE ARTSTYLE BRUH. I love it, very creative. Gameplay is okay, only problem for me is that the music doesn't suit the game. Great job and congrats
I love the art style, and the mood is awesome :)
Yes I've got my 5 fruits, let's go home ^^ Really good game! The draw is original and consistent. Gameplay is simple and efficient, I like it! Thanks for your game!
Cool idea to actually draw the assets.
I really like the art style!
WOOOOOOOOOOW we need more of thoses graphics ! That's a 5/5 artstyle !
Really great art and graphics! I found the music a bit too upbeat, I think that something a bit more eerie and ambient would've suited the game and especially the threating messages in the second level a lot better.
Also, I think your game would have really profited if the camera was not as close to the player. At the moment, I could never really have a look at the fruit or the whole surroundings, because I was walking around so fast :smile:
Nonetheless, a really beautiful entry, thank you!
So good! Such a cute game. I loved the art style and interesting character designs. The second time around collecting the fruits got to be a little repetitive. Idk what Craplex is talking about but I loved the music! Warmed my heart. The character walked a little bit too fast, I think it would have been better maybe if the camera was more zoomed out so I could get a better sense of the space. Great work!
There's a good idea for the theme here, repeating the same level, the scribbles on the ground which indicate a darker world. It's a shame, I would have loved to know where this could be going. The handdrawn graphics are great though, well done!
The sudden shift in tone was quite unexpected. Pretty neat, hopefully you'll be able to finish your game next time around!
So in love with the art style! Would definitely love to discover more about the world and the story - the messages on the ground are so unsettling in the right subtle way.
This is super nice!! The art style is very unique and the movement and gameplay feels really smooth! Good job!
Fun to explore, the fruits should maybe be colored to make them stand out. Overall a fun little experience :)
The art style is awesome and the lizard is rad! good job overall!
Love the art style! I do wish the camera was a little further back though - you've clearly made some amazing art for the environment, it's a shame to only see little bits of it at a time!
I wish there was a little more, too - the messages in the second level really got me hooked. If a post-jam version ever happens, I'd love to see what gets done!
I love the graphite style, and overall mood. that would be nice if you could add different sprites for the character :)) I started to stress out when the mood changed, the "LEAVE" startled me and I expected bad things to happen haha. really good job for a first LD, keep going!!!
Very nice graphics! I found all the fruits without even noticing most of them, I think they could have been smaller, so you need to be closer to fruits.
It reminds me of Zeno Clash :D Very cool mood P.S. don't touch my fruit! >_<
Love love LOVE the world you crafted--the actual art, the papercrafted medium, and the neat story hook with the writing in the sand. Was really looking forward to learning more about the world, so sad you all ran out of time (I think me and 2000+ other people feel your pain x_x)
Really loved the mood. Thank you for making such a cute game. Kinda refreshing compared to most of the other deep and dark games made for this theme.
Thank you everyone for the kind comments!!!!!!!
The mood was amazing! the graphics made me feel happy, and i loved the ominous messages on the second level.
@mrhassansan Thank you!! Time ran out truly fast >.> @wizard-sino Thank you so much!!!!
I didn't think anyone would actually play our game, let alone so many people. Thank you everyone for your kind words! We are truly grateful. <3
I like the unusual approach to graphics. Specifically, I like the use of the texture and tone of the paper))) I don't know if it was conceived this way, but I got stuck in a plant and did not get out)) And in general, an interesting and unique universe!))
@valentine-skachkov Thank youu! I might have missed a spot on the collision, I'll check it out to see where i have missed it! Thank you for playing c:
the levels look awefully familiar :) the art style is pretty cool. Some mechanics to make it a timed search or to extend the exploration side would make it a bit more exciting.
There's a missing collision spot bottom left of the map (inside the plants), i was able to go under and walk all the way to the right, under the map, and was not able to get it back 'till i restarted the game
@cinderblade @valentine-skachkov Thank you so much for pointing out this bug! We will make sure to fix it. I hope you enjoyed the game nonetheless :).
Love the artstyle! I liked how the mysterious writing would appear. I wish I had a lizard to drive around.
I loved the graphite drawings and how they were integrated. And the design of the main character was really cool. I do agree with some others that the music maybe doesn't fit. My main complaint is that I also got stuck into clumps of plants and had to restart to get out! All in all, though, great drawings and game!
I looooooove the art ! You did a pretty good job
@kinart Thank you so much! Been eyeing that bush for a while now! The feedback is really helpful! :) Thank you for playing! @nyanpierre I'm happy you enjoyed the game!
wonderful graphics and a cute story, thank you!
I liked the visual style a lot! It felt kind of strange for the mount to not block player movement, but that's a nitpick.
The fruit(s) had different pieces of art, right? The camera was so zoomed in / the fruit so big that I often just stumbled into them and noticed I had picked up fruit by the counter going up instead of seeing fruit and consciously going to pick it up. I think a slightly more zoomed out perspective could have been nice, but I don't know how well that works with the art assets / art pipeline.
When those messages started appearing on the second round, I actually got a bit scared ;)
Great aesthetic, cool little game!
Great original graphics! Very nice small game. I would be looking forward to more diverse gameplay for that great graphics in the future. Great job, keep it up!
Cool hand drawn art. I wish there was a little more "juice" to it. This should be pretty easy to animate in unity, just adding a little squishy-ness or bobbing while walking. It would also be cool if it would flip around like Paper Mario. Maybe even making the fruits floaty, or squishy.
The game is super simple, not a problem, but a couple design choices would help some things. The camera is very zoomed in, and the fruits are very big, so I was usually walking into the fruit before I could see what it looked like. I'd suggest scaling down the player, and the fruit, and zooming out the camera FOV.
"Deeper and Deeper" wasn't well represented, but it's better to make *something*, than nothing :wink:
I tried to walk through this doorway up here, and it seems to have brought me outside the play area.

Still, the art is very nice, and it's cool to see some hand drawn artwork like this in a game. Even the little bit of existing story is good! Good job on the entry!
@ismael-rodriguez Thank you for playing the game! We both kind of have zero to none experience in unity, thought about the animation even made few bobbing ones but kind of scrapped them last moment to just get as much of there stuff done. And the paper Mario thing would have brought a lot more life, sad I didn't think of it in time.:D
The camera and fruit size was pretty big oversight we noticed once the game was already submitted. You cannot also see the drawings themselves very well.
Thank you for the feedback its really appreciated!
@mykola Thank you! Will definitely work on a project with this kind of graphics in the future! @battlerager Thank you for playing! The camera is the bane of my existence :D @sand-gardeners Thank you!!!

God I published it trice >.>
@battlerager Thank you for the feedback! In our haste to make the enviroment we forgot to put collision on the mount :D.Definitely a zoomed out camera would work better. Hopefully, for the next build we will fix this issue, I'm still wondering if moving the camera counts as a bug fix or not? Anyway thank you I'm glad you enjoyed our game!
@ismael-rodriguez Thank you for the feedback! We did consider animations but we had some trouble with them, the camera will hopefully be fixed in the next build as for the theme... We had more levels planned, ultimately the idea was that as the character you go deeper and deeper into the sketchbook, eventually running out of pages. Sadly, that idea was a bit too much for us at our current level :D. Thank you so much for playing and leaving such a thoughtful review!
I really loved how you used your own hand drawn art in the game. I really can't say I felt anything like I was going deeper and deeper though. Just changing levels. Well done guys and thanks for sharing! :clap: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1003785681?t=2h22m40s
The artistic style is extremely pleasing to the eyes. And the music is fun. I wish there was more!
I really like the graphics. Maybe the fruits could be different, more colorful or something like that. Nice game :clap:
Original graphic style. Unique atmosphere. But I would like to see more gameplay.
Congratulations on the game, I feel that something in the project was missing, maybe the team had a very big idea that in the end didn’t have time to execute, so they had to cut a lot, the art is very beautiful and the game is very promising if it’s worked with a time greater than that of a Jam, where they can include more elements and mechanics, a big hug to everyone, and I await your evaluations regarding my game.
Would like to see more variations between levels, but I love the graphics! Skills
Hand drawing anything is an incredible task! let alone doing it in 72 hours, well done!
Great work, thank you.
Love the lore and world building; the art style is also so good.
Good job!
Nice short game, like it! Great art style (hand drawing effect and paper cut) with chill soundtrack, that create a really cute game. Your game reminds me Pinkmin, I don't know why, maybe the mood and this miniature universe. Maybe some footstep sounds would be great and also using "faux-fixe" for some objects like character, I don't know the name in English sorry. Maybe you know it: in 2D animation, when you create 3 frames loop, you basically drew the same thing but the tiny difference in your sketch give nice "rough sketchy" animation. Anyway great job for a jam! :smiley:
great art style! I think if you fine-tuned this, added animations, this could be a fantastic commercial game.
Very cool art! Music is good too.
I know you said that you fixed a bug where the player could leave the map, but I was still able to, on level 2. Once outside, I couldn't get back _in_ though.(Screenshot below - yellow arrow points to where the break in the "barrier" was)
Good entry!

@saintchristopher777 Thank you for playing! Ahhh I thought I hadn't missed any, Thank you for the feedback its time for another fix :)
i really like the hand drawed art. Having no experience in unity makes this a really impressive first game,specially being made in the short time you get during a gamejam.
I want to see your future games, after you got some more experience with unity. Stick to this art style, it's working and is very charming!
@duck-reaction Thank you! Our tiny game reminding you of Pikmin is high praise! Thank you for the tips as well! :)
@his-games Thank you! We will actually continue working on this game so who knows! :D
@roidz Thank you so much! We have a lot to learn so I'm happy to have people cheering us on <3.
Great entry! I really like the art style and think with some further iteration and work you could make it into a distinct style (main feedback is consistent scaling). Keep up the good work and making games
Amazing. This was a solid entry. The art is clearly stunning, and really is what drew me in. I also thought the background music loop was solid. As others have said, sure, adding some sound or a bit of animation could be nice. But, overall well done :)
Lovely little game with delightfully cosy art! I think some basic animations (even just making a wobbling walking one) and some more sounds could have made it even better! BUT its still a great game :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:
EDIT: Also, the lizard is really cute :heart: :lizard:
Amazing artowork, music and writing. I really enjoyed the text on the sand and hoped there would be more! I really like reading all the easter eggs in Portal 2 or L4D, so big ups!!!
Cute graphite! Think, I hear Uriah Heep's Wizard in the tune. Nice scribble). Very honest devs here, keep up a good creative job!
GLORIOUS art style, some of the prettiest I've seen in this jam. I wish you had made all the font hand written too, it's the only thing that clashed. There's obviously not much gameplay here, but the world was very evocative. Very nice work!
Incredible mood and art!
I was really hooked by all the weird text on the second run, too bad you didn't have time to finish it but awesome job already on everything that is in here!
Thanks for the experience 💕
Charming Hand-Drawn Art Style.. Works out really nice of the Environment (thick-line Cut-outs). I was thinking that the dark-substance were at first another domain to explore (swamp?) but it's the boundary of the level.. Was very curious to see what lurks beyond that Gateway (Top of Level).. Curious if you have tried Blender3D - And in particular to the Grease-Pencil? The Environment style reminds me of the comic artist: Carl Giles
Cozy!
I'm impressed by the amount of individual art assets you drew and edited for the game! We were scanning pencil drawings too, but it involved less editing since they were mainly static backgrounds.
I think the map bug might not be fixed because I just got trapped in the border drawings (HTML version). It happened when I was in the top left corner, near the rocks, trying to walk through them because I thought there's one more location. But luckily it happened during the first level, so I just restarted it. :) The second level looked very promising and I would really like to see more!
I love games in this style! It's very cute! I would love to play more and have more interactions. :pencil2:
The art is so cool! (And the paper ground is a nice touch). Very relaxing gameplay and atmosphere :) Maybe some form of highlight on the fruit to make it a bit more clear would be cool.

Lovely art and solid game, congrats!
Stunningly beautiful!
I was going to play some more Danger zone games, but your game totally lured me in with the aesthetics! I love the hand drawn art and the paper cutout feel to it. The mount is especially cute.
The guitar tune is also very nice and adds to the mood enormously.
The game itself is very short and left me wondering - where is this story going? Cause it is quite clear that someone does not want me in his forests and meadows! :grin:
tbh the artstyle is the only thing that stands out. The game itself is kinda boring. Maybe a bit more story would've been nice. Overall its an okayish game with aaaawesome graphics ♥
Hey watched a stream of this and thought it was really cool! Would love to see more! Reminded me of a cereal box game I got once in Canada called Tlon: A Misty Story, the developers went on to do incredible things!
As promise, I finally had time to play your game on stream :) Here is a link to the correct place in the video: https://www.youtube.be/watch?v=Sx1MQ445u7k&t=3850s
This was such a nice and different game, I really enjoyed your graphical style. Too bad the story ends so suddenly, I was getting into the mystery and suddenly... game ended ^^
Congratulation, this was really a wholesome game.
@frozenfire92 @quoclon @itsisaac @cebula @ardorugus @doot @untitled-studios @kotzi @francisco-lucas @exilegl Thank you!
@pat-cleaver Thank you! Originally we were going to have the menus be hand-written but we ran out of time :D
@acronaut We had more levels planned but ran out of time. We are going to expand this game a lot so you can keep an eye out on our itchio page :). I've heard about grease-pencil before, I've been meaning to look into it. Carl Giles? That's high praise, thank you! :D
@ynneblack Thank you! The pesky collision bugs took a while but I think they're finaly fixed, I hope they didn't ruin your experience. Thanks for the feedback! :D
@fabula-rasa Thank you so much! Now I feel bad for diverting your attention :D I've been playing danger zone games a lot these last few days, there are so many great games that aren't getting any attention.
@karo Thank you so much for being honest, I think so too :D Hopefully with more time we can make something more substantial.
@ferocious-industries Thank you! We will work on a game with a similar art style in the future, keep an eye out on our itchio page :)
@togis Thank you for streaming it! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Really simple game where you can only move. Some story behind all of it could benefit to the overall game experience. Also, I didn't really like the music since it doesn't fit the game imo. But OMG the art is super wonderful 5/5!
Too bad the game was over after the second level, I think this could have been developed to an interesting story. Also cool graphic style! Would have wished some simple 2-frame animation of the main character when moving. On the technical side: I saw you already fixed some collision bug, but I still managed to go outside the map :sweat_smile: It was somewhere on the top right
I absolutely love the hand-drawn art! That's really neat. The sound gave it a nice, relaxing atmosphere as well.
