for some reason i had alot of trouble placing pots. they wouldnt drop
@jcmonkey sorry, there's a bug that if you get too close to the back wall it won't drop because it thinks it's blocked. I usually take a step back and it works. Thanks for playing
@silkmeloni thanks for giving it ago
beautiful execution of both theme and mechanics! thanks for sharing your game had pretty fun! :smile:
simple yet intriguing game that took me half an entire play time to get used the actual mechanic - placing sand in the pot so things don't sink under. I actually don't have much suggestion other than more levels and more floor pattern designs, so good job!
also I got 29650 score
What a great entry! I appreciated the volume sliders at the start, I'm going to need to do that on my next jam game :sweat_smile: Overall a well polished experience that made great use of the theme. I think you could really expand upon this concept and make complete game a lot of roguelike players would enjoy! Keep on making games \o/
Amazing game, a great idea implementation I had lots of fun playing it Thanks for the amazing entry :smile:
Got 30050. Everything vibed together pretty well for a nice, cohesive experience. Solid entry!
What a pretty visual on this game! I'm happy to chill with it!
Cute little game! Loved the music and art, and the concept of the sand rising. In my opinion you could increase the sand rising speed a bit to make these pots more worth their effort. Thank you for submitting it to my stream!
Really well put together game. I'd almost want more time pressure, I got 32200 and barely broke a sweat! I really loved the particle effects! Well done!
Nice looking and surprisingly enjoyable game! It's really funny that there's no motivation to pick stuff up apart from the player's greed.. which works pretty well, haha
Thanks for coming to my stream! Here's a recording in case you'd like to refer to it: https://youtu.be/1s0mnrLO_ak
Very nice entry, I liked that I had moments of chill and moments of rushing. I think that made a good balance.
I've never seen any game with these mechanics, it's amazing ! SO cool, very well made :) Love it. The only thing I would maybe suggest is adding waves of enemies of some sort, as you have the combat mechanic ready anyway! But overall, this is a very very very fun game and I really enjoy it. Bookmarking this ^-^
That is a nice concept for a game! Very unique and well executed. Love the cartoony style. I couldn't get my controller working in the browser, but that could have been my bad. Some (particle) effect when picking up coin would be nice. I feel the pace of the platforms should also speed up more, because when I finished I didn't really feel like being pushed to the max. But really nice game, good job!
@bauke-regnerus thanks for giving it ago. I tested real quick and verify at least my ps4 controller works. I did have to make sure to click on the game to have focus on it. Sorry that feature didn't work for you
The basic idea is cool and innovative. However, the controls are a bit too clunky (it's very easy to accidentally place the pots beside the sand instead of below) and playing feels a bit too much like a chore. I believe the game would be more enjoyable if the pace was increased.
@lbrande thanks for your feedback. Much appreciate it. Sorry the controls didn't work all to well for you. Thanks for playing
Really enjoyed this one because I could finish it. That is rare for me so, thanks. But seriously, I loved the vibe of your game. It was really fun, would love to see it developed into something more.
Neat little game, love the concept, the music was nice and fit the atmosphere, and I managed to beat the game (after getting squished on my first attempt). Great game!

Epic! Great game, good job!
Wow, this game is amazing! Absolutely love the artstyle and gameplay. Everything feels so polished. Please keep on making great games, best of luck!
This was so much fun! It was a total blast to play I love the unique design you came up with for the theme. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449896005?t=03h29m05s
Simple but fun game, really enjoyed the music. The character reminds me of Wind Waker, really cool.
Fun little game! Would love to see faster sand fill and throwing the pots to make the gameplay feel a bit more hectic! Overall though, nice job! Very well polished!
Lovely little game! Would be nice to see this developed into some kind of infinite run with breaks to get upgrades, maybe some overworld that sees you taken into different tombs/dungeons to get ever more valuable treasure diamondInTheRough.PNG
@drentsoft it's like you read my mind! Thankd for playing and for almost getting a perfect score!
Hello Drums,
Thanks for hanging out with us in stream. First off, I loved the graphics in this game really well done and fit the theme you were going for. I think that there could be improvement in the UI. I was not a huge fan of the font, I really don't think the font supported the style that the game was in. Also the light blue color I am not sure about as well, maybe sticking to the warm color palette would have helped a bit stylistically.
The overall gameplay was really fun but I feel like something was missing. Maybe having an enemy on top of filling up the pots with sand. Super solid and well polished for the jam. Great work :D
