This looks absolutely beautiful (and the music and sounds are great too). I did struggle to know what the objective of the game was (keep them on the log or coax them off the log?), I think some instructions (even on the LD page) would go a long way :) Still really fun and amazing achivement!
This is one of the best-looking game I saw during this LD. It is simply amazing how well done graphic are, and the music... so good. Some instruction would be nice, but it was quite easy to figure out what to do. At least I think I know what I spouse I should do :) I find a small bug. Sometimes, just after placing first fruit, llamas start drowning, but the game never ends, and the timer is still going. Overall great job!
@guntrip I have updated the page on how to play the game. Thanks a bunch for your feedback.
@zimny11 Thank you so much, couldn't playtest a lot on the physics, we got more carried away with art assets ;)

I think this might have broken the game, the llama is just chilling on a pear :). Otherwise it's a fun premise and the graphics are lovely.
Fantastic looking game, with a fun and simple gameplay loop that fits the theme very well. I also ran into a bug where a Llama fell off the log but didn't die, though it was quite amusing to see him just chilling in the water surrounded by pears. I'm not sure, but I think the bug might be caused by 2 Llamas falling off from the same spot at similar times
One of the cutest things I've seen all day! Beautiful logo and pretty art. The gameplay loop is very simple but really pulls you in once you get into it!
On another note, I think we encountered the same bug as @matt-heinrich
Keep up the good work guys :)
Such a cute little game!
Very cute game and cool graphics. Made fun of the bug. Llamas scream that they are drowning, and one is still standing up to her neck in water with an imperturbable muzzle.
Graphics are fantastic, well done on those. Gameplay is good too, physics are well done. Good work!
Nice artwork. Music and graphics really on point. Struggled to figure out what the game was about, but had fun with the wierd physics of planting fruits in and under the water. Thanks for the game.
This is sooo cute! I absolutely LOVE the sound effects of the llamas pwaa-ing into the water, and that bouncy orchestral background track fits so perfectly (I wish it had just a sliiightly smoother loop)! I honestly thought that the clock at the top made it clear that the objective was to keep the llamas on for as long as possible, so that was communicated well without being explicitly mentioned. I did, however, encounter the bug that other people have noticed where a llama fell into the water and just floated there, possibly because it was on a fruit or something.
There was one thing I found interesting but wasn't sure if it was intended to be a part of the game! While dragging the fruit around, I could impact the raft and the items on it without having let go of the fruit. I eventually started just dragging a pear over and pushing the raft around back and forth just for fun. I suppose that this creates enough chaos that it wouldn't really need to be patched in a perfectly-functioning game; in the end, I used it to knock over the llama that was floating eternally just so the game would end.
One small suggestion! Perhaps you could implement a scoring system beyond just seconds? Right now, if two llamas fall off immediately and one stays on for two minutes, you would get the same score as you would if you completed the objectively harder task of keeping all three llamas on for two minutes. Maybe you could have some kind of multiplier for each second you stay on the log based on how many llamas are still on it? Just a thought!
Overall, such a cute game. Incredibly polished graphics, music, and sound design—and so wonderfully adorable! Great work.
The art is so cute and polished. I loooove it! :smile:
Overall a really solid entry and a very fun game. Well done. :D
Very beautiful and cute game. Music, art and llamas animation are perfect! But gameplay could been better. For example, you could add a levels progression system, additional mechanic, different types of llamas, fruits, logs etc.
Nice art and music! I experienced some weird physics stuff, suddenly log just flips or drowns and that's it. I also managed to bug the game by placing food in the middle. The log sunk but the game didn't end. Good job, I wish you could control the llamas a bit more.
@lunacyecho Thanks for the detailed feedback. Yes, we try to address the bug and reupload soon. Our days jobs took priority :( We couldn't look down on the design, that's why we left it as sandbox and figure any mechanics out of it.
Great graphics, cute logo. I've also hit the bug with lama standing on water like it is Jesus Lama Christ or smth ;). Good job, hope you will push fix soon :)
Great work! I think this game is a good example of gamejam submission. With a simple mechanism, polished art work and sounds. Each component harmonized with other component and make a good game feeling. In my case, I usually think too much about logic and end up with a logic-only game.
I love this game and was able to survive for 79 seconds. :) Good job!

I survived about 2 minutes before I was too curious and had to see what happened if they fell off. Is there a difference between the different fruits? Like, does the pear do something the apple doesn't? From what I could tell, they were all the same, had the same mass, etc. I think the game needs to get harder over time, like what if every time a llama eats, they become heavier, making the raft even more unstable. Overall, this was a fun game! Nice work.
good music, good art, good job
I believe I have found a fun bug, you can lift the platform with the food

The aesthetics and art are very good, I would love to see more mini games for my friends Las Llamas xD good job!
Graphics and audio is amazing. The llama cry makes me laugh every time. I encourage you guys to keep working on this game and improve it a little bit, maybe with some more levels and challenges. It's very fun to play and the mood feels so nice!
It`s soooo cute! I didn`t see any bugs. Grats!

Jokes aside that was interesting but I don't think the game was ending. Loved the art and sounds. Great idea that needs a little more work.
