Really enjoyed it! Controls felt good knowing what it was, dialogue was entertaining and I really like the "cutscene" camera and the opening bit. Successfully made the spaceship feel like flying again.

Boxelda hehe. Really cute intro animation and the music/effects too :3
What an adventure.. There is something really satisfying controlling this. 3D platforming can often turn frustrating but this was just super chill. Enjoyed the little characters and minigames too.
I am happy that I impressed my space ship!
There was a lot packed into this for 48 hours of development. Controls were solid, dialog was charming, and the mini games were interesting. Not really anything negative to say. Solid entry.
Cute and interesting game, you even implemented a nice story ^^
loved every moment of this, super impressed you pushed this out for compo. the dialogue was all fantastic and the art was super cute, really great job :3
This is one of the rare arcade games that I have been able to finish. Lots of very nifty little things, very pleasant gameplay, difficulty but not too much ... Very nice balance, well done
"The spaceship is impressed..." This is a great example of how even simple textures and shapes can be made into a charming little world. Great difficulty progression for the platforming and I appreciated the well placed checkpoints. The only weird thing was that when I showed up to herd the space cows (or whatever they were called) it said I had herded all 5 so I guess they herded themselves?? Not sure what the gameplay was there. Other than that though the game was fun and I enjoyed your humor. I will be checking out your other games and I look forward to what you make in the future!
My favorite game so far. Loved everything about it. I could just stand there listening to the music in this cute world. There was humor all around, the drawing thingy surprised me as well. It was brilliant and I wanted more of it. I have to ask tho, do you know who made the music, was it you? It fit the game perfectly.
@pixelydian yeah lol they jump randomly so sometimes they do end up herding themselves... i found that having to herd too many was frustrating so i tried to stay on the side of too easy rather than the alternative. i'd prolly fix this up more given the time.
@betamorfosis i'm glad you had a good time! i did in fact make the music :D. the only stuff not made by me i think was the skyboxes, those are from free asset packs. i would have made my own crappy versions if i had the time.
I followed you on Twitter/Youtube to keep track. What you made with the music is unreal. Another thing that was really cool is that I'm a strong believer that you can do brilliant things with basic geometry if you get the polish right and the gameplay is quite fun, especially in 3D. And your game was just like that : crazy enough yet simple so it's enjoyable and music and dialogues made the mood. Good luck for your next games :)
Funny intro sequence! I like it ) Intro music is great, reminds me of some demoscene works. Character & NPCs designs are cool. And oh god, I love the humor in this one! From cowdogs design, to Fartist :) Very nice game, I was very glad to beat it

*slaps roof of game* This bad boi can fit soo much good content. 5/5
This is a very complete game for a jam for sure. Cutscenes, awesome music, and the gameplay was really fun and had enough slack in the amount of jetpack to not get frustrating at all. Amazing entry. fac.PNG
@magnusfurcifer yay! im glad you had fun. and thanks for sharing your drawing, it is beautiful đź’–
One of the most fun game I've played from the jam so far! really enjoyed the art and dialogue, just the right length too, great job :)
Nice little game here. Played it to the end, still trying to conjecture how a Spaceships needs a banana :smile: Amazing music.
very nice game! i dont know what more could be said
This was great lol. You walked a really fine line between "clumsy unstable controls" and still being responsive enough that it is fun to play. I really loved this. I had hoped to make something more like this but came up very short. This is great, excellent job!!
That was fantastic. The mechanics are unstable, but never unfair, which is a really good combination; every time I fell in the lava it was my fault, rather than the game. I'd love to see more of this.
The game is very funny! Simple platformer, but made with love for games!
wow. amazing. I like the idea for the controls a lot ("jump" for a while until landing and "jump" again). I did not know this kind of control before. Reloading the jump normally is triggered by time passing. Yours is better! And the mixed in "Unstable" controlling. I was very nicely surprised by your minigames!!! I enjoyed it and played it ... until I got 4, ... I did not find the 5th part :-(
@itzemii thanks for playing! i have no idea how you got 4 parts, there should only be 3 🤔
I thought I got 4: cows, painting, tic-tac-toe, guy at right before jumping... and it said “one more” Still, enjoyed your game!
It was great! I particularly enjoyed air dribbling the cowdogs into the lava >:)
very fun game, never outstaying its welcome! Playing as the clumsy box was weirdly intuitive and the forgiving jetpack made playing really fun! If there's anything to complain about it'd be how hard it is to draw dicks with the cube :P
Impressive work, thank you for this gem!
I really liked how you operated with the camera - very rarely does anyone do it)) Also +rep for text-animation skip feature) I enjoyed the game, well done!
Very fun game, very complete! Had a good flow; time spent covering the same ground was quick enough to keep it challenging and fun. Camera angle on the vertical spinning section was a little unforgiving as the character did not move with the platforms out of shot, but easy to recover from and learn so learning curve was good :)
Very fun platforming with smooth controls, well done. I like that there was also an introductory cutscene to set up the story. Impressive polish.
Great game!
Moving as a cube and using a jetpack was fun. I really liked the dialogue system too.
Great job! The dialogue was amazing :smile:
The word to best describe this game would be "innovative". It has very innovative art style and innovative locomotion! And they both worked good! I haven't seen something like this before and it made me happy.

like everyone else has said, very cosy and fun world to exist in, i originally found tumbling the cube around to be a little awkward, but with the forgiving nature of the jetpack, it was no problem at all.
i did find herding the smaller cowdogs a little frustrating, luckily a couple of them had already herded themselves.
a pleasure to play, probably the exact right length. ;^)
Hey there! This game was really amazing to play! Thanks for joining us live!
I finally had the time to come back and rate everything I played so far!
