Cute little game, you pulled a lot together! I wasn't able to get up the little slope to get into the cave, but I did collect a full collection of the base Colormon. Cheese kept kicking my butt though, and still eludes me! Loved the really catchy overworld tune in the game.

>walk three feet in a cave system

>somewhere, a new piece of cheese mutters "not today, witch"

This was pretty impressive. You really fit a lot in in a small amount of time. I only wish the walk speed wasn't so slow. :P

I choose you, Annoying Orange! It felt like a genuine adventure was starting.

It's always great to find new pokémon games, it's a small and wonderful little game with great and funny 3d-models and atmosphere. Playing this made me feel joy.

The gameplay is simple and pretty fun. I love the atmosphere. Maybe a bit less fights. Overall a pretty fun little jam game.

Is it just me or doess he walk really slow haha. Love the game <3

@lexgear @popertots I knew I should have added sprinting :sweat_smile:

One of the major plans for the game that was not quite reached was to have color mixing and color pairing to summon new ColorMon. Color pairing a TomatoMon with a CheeseMon was meant to create a red yellow type PizzaMon, or color mixing a TomatoMon with a CheeseMon was meant to make an orange type OrangeMon. Creating all of the models from scratch and working on coding was a lot more difficult as a novice so it didn't quite get realized all the way but I am happy with how far it came!

It was a really sweet game but I agree with the sprinting XD It just felt like I was being attacked with every step in the first few minutes and then not at all after that, that was a bit off. But Cheesemon was great, I laughed very hard when I saw it.

Very trippy :D The name customization in the beginning was a nice addition!

It's a very cool concept. I wish the mixing was implemented (that sounds super fun), but we all know that's how it is in the game jam - always too little time :wink:

The jrpg battle system is nice and fun. I wish the battle screen didn't rotate all the time. It seems unneeded. And my witch walks veeeeery sloooowly - I guess she's not in a hurry to get anywhere :wink:

Would be nice to see your ColorMon collection somewhere. Cheesemon is the absolute best! I wasn't able to walk up the slope to go into the tunnel. But I guess that might be a purposeful limitation (or a bug?).

A pokemon like game is a very fitting concept for the theme of this jam! There is a lot to love here, I especially love the ambition, but I feel like there are a couple of missed opportunities. For example, when you get to choose your colormon, you don't get to see it, which is a shame. The battles also don't yield any sort of rewards from what i've experienced, so it's usually the best to just run after fighting every monster a couple of times. I did like the game overall, it has some really nice tunes and the visual style reminds me of YIIK, which I still think looks awesome. Good job!

martenj 2024-04-17 13:25

A little pokemon like game "catch" me everytime! The Idea and mix up of different game elements is solid!

p-man 2024-04-17 19:58

I got impatient with the repetitive battles, but maybe this is just not my genre. Cute atmosphere! I like the colour theme.

It is an interesting twist in the Pokémon formula, and I liked the 3D graphics. I think the game has a lot of potential

jamesdev 2024-04-20 03:39

Great entry! I noticed the walk speed was framerate dependent though.

marleeeeeey 2024-04-20 11:26

Very interesting idea about food battles)

floke 2024-04-20 11:33

This has defininitely interesting graphics :D Quite fun, sadly it crashed when I entered the cave. I haven't really understood where the color comes in

Also the world is very tiny but that's probably due to the time limit :)

timo654 2024-04-20 16:43

One small thing I noticed is that it would probably be a good idea to have a max length for the names. beemovie.png

Hi, this is the quacking game guy :)

You made a nice little game!

The graphics are nice, although the overly saturated colors are somewhat hard to watch.

The music is cool :)

I don't know if there is any goal to meet, so I just went into the dungeon and run around.

I will put the video on my youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@standanovak

Have a nice day!

Quite fun! I like the style to it. Definitely could use a bit of a faster walking speed, and I'd love to see this game remade with the mixing mechanic!

Fun game, made me want to boot up my old Pokémon games. Only recommendation I have is being able to run, or increasing the movement speed. Overall very enjoyable though.
