You probably already noticed, but I get a 404 when trying to play in browser "Uh oh! If you're seeing this error, it means I can't find your index.html file.

This usually means you created your .zip file by zipping the entire folder, and index.html is somewhere like MyGame/index.html. If you recreate your .zip with index.html file in the root, this error should go away.

See the embedding guide for more details. ludumdare.com/resources/guides/embedding/

404 Not Found"

I cant play in browser

We are aware of the brower's problem. It's going to be fix soon, thank you all for your feedback. Actually, the windows version is working well if you want a back up !

I cant play in browser too

climbing-dolphin 2023-01-10 12:14

I'm sorry that you can't.

Did you get a specific error? And did you play on itch or on this page?

Trying to use cards doesn't seem to do anything on the HTML version, no errors just nothing. Nice theming though :)

herryfabien 2023-01-10 15:47

I like the ideas here ! The combinaison of puzzle and random drawing is perhaps not the best idea and not having score or time to do action tend to just find a safe place and then stack ressources

cievers 2023-01-10 15:48

A very intersting combination of mechanics, especially when in level three things escalate! I did encounter an issue there where the sleepy time card did nothing, and I clicking retry was the only thing that responded :(

Seems to be working for me on itch, Interesting concept. Took me a bit to figure out what all of the things in the world are, and it wasn't very obvious how to start moving right away, but before long I was collecting cards and avoid traps and collecting (harvesting) those carrots. Nice work!

flaming-aardvark 2023-01-10 15:48

I love the graphics and the music! The gameplay is interesting, but can sometimes feel a little repetitive. I'm not really sure why I would ever want to use the back in time card. Fun concept!

miyukiew 2023-01-10 15:49

The game does load for me on itch, but I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do. The art style is pretty cute though. It's what attracted me to try out this game :)

climbing-dolphin 2023-01-10 16:17

@pixelated-pasty Did you try to move after playing your card? Perhaps you didn't notice that they give you moves?

@herryfabien yeah. That's the biggest problem of the game. We didn't have enough time to fix that. It's too easy to get free carrots at the starting point, but fixing that without adding more features would have an negative impact on the rest of the game. We choosed to let the possibility to do it, but it's not encouraged, as it makes players skip the real fun of the game.

@cievers well that's unexpected. Hopefully levels are shorts and it doesn't makes you lose that much. I'll look at a fix for that. Thank you for the feedback.

@doug-graham we definitely need to explain the different traps and enemies lol... I'll add that to the description of the jam. Thanks!

@flaming-aardvark back in time can save you from a tricky situation. However yes, it is indeed not the most useful one...

@miyukiew Just click play at the top of the screen, next to your carrots amount. It'll open the shop and you'll be able to buy cards and then play them. It's not that clear i have to admit.

I was able to play the browser version on itch.io. Loved the art and sound, and the idea of using cards to move and complete the puzzles. Nice work~

bartalomew 2023-01-11 09:31

great art and music, the overal mood of this game is super nice. big fan of the turn based strategy game direction you went to. as others wrote, it's not super self explanatory, but once you get it is fun!

artofluba 2023-01-11 19:38

I really wanted to play this cute lookin game but none of the controls worked in the browser (LD and itch.io). I tried restarting, I tried unplugging my PS5 controller... and just.. nothing worked. Clicks, WASD, arrow keys... sadface.

brainles-etertainment 2023-01-12 20:39

It is pretty tricky to play in browser, but anyway game looks cute.

pulni 2023-01-15 18:35

Very nice game - looks great and the gameplay is interesting! I would've loved to play some 15 more levels of it! :slight_smile:

Things that could be improved in my opinion: - The retry button that I pressed 5 times by mistake as I wanted to leave the shop... it really shouldn't be that easy to restart a level :smile: But also, I kinda did it by instinct, so I'd say the leave shop button should be made more "attractive" - Obviously I'd love to have more cards, levels and gameplay elements!!! It could be quite an awesome puzzle!

dfaouaz 2023-01-16 11:56

Nice card game! Loved the idea and the little pirate bunny! Nicely done, great job!

pinchazumos 2023-01-16 14:44

Really like the concept, the art and the music. Not sure I was playing well though, as I got killed by a bear trap and kinda expected to either avoid it by not ended the turn on it, or be able to undo my death with the back-to-the-past cards. Very nice anyway ;)

autumnmnmn 2023-01-16 16:21

I like the idea, the theme is used well! It's an interesting concept, I found myself playing the game longer than I thought I would. The game overall is quite simple, but it uses its simplicity well. The only problems I have are the user interface and user experience design. The UI was extremely difficult for me to navigate. And placing that bear trap in the very beginning just made me scratch my head as to what I was supposed to do. Could I have walked around it? The only path leading went under it so I thought I just had to walk over and hope that I win the 50/50.

Quite solid entry, Also I love the pirate rabbit :3

@andreia @bartalomew @brainles-etertainment @pulni @dfaouaz @pinchazumos @autumnmnmn Thank you all for your feedbacks, they help us a lot!

@artofluba i'm sorry you couldn't play. It seems that the web version doesn't work on some devices...

artofluba 2023-01-19 18:42

@climbing-dolphin Its on my PC, running windows. :)

climbing-dolphin 2023-01-21 17:10

@artofluba Hmmm. Thank you for that information. I don't have any clue to solve that but I keep it in mind.

youngartifact 2023-01-23 21:11

Nice sound, nice graphics, nice gameplay. Keep it up!
