Red pandas and drugs. A lot of drugs
Really fun art style, also loved the wave effect on the text, it went really well with the music. I was a bit confused at first on how to play the game but it was fun to explore. Good job!
Bug: Volume slider did not work in the itch.io web version
Wait this game is so relaxing...also red panda is my favorite animal! Love the music. This was perfect chill after a long game jam. Thanks :)
Well done! I loved the vibes! The puzzle was fun to solve. You had some clever and funny dialogue when chatting with the red pandas and balanced having to discover things and not crossing into frustration. I loved seeing the new islands come in, made me happy every time!
this was great! that first island coming down really intrigued me. got stuck on the second island but i did finish it! not entirely sure about resetting the items and inventory but it wasn't bad.
Love the red panda. Also the puzzles are really interesting! Great game guys!
What a cozy game with a nice atmosphere. I'm glad you added the reset because I got stuck a few times. There was one tree/bumble bee I could climb and fly off on :joy: Keep on making games!
This is a game with chill vibes, and extra kudos for including red pandas (because they're awesome). Voxel art was beautiful and clean, the audio was chill but slightly repetative. It's a great puzzle and deciphering game to work out the fruits to the symbols, and tickled my code cracker fancies. Great work, well done!
I wasn't able to summon anything, but goodness the art is adorable and I really identify with "Equally Confused Panda"!
I quite enjoyed exploring and scooping up adorable little voxel items, but I am a sucker for voxels. I was hoping to play some games that used them! So I love what you did for the models and environment, skybox, everything set a grand mood. Reminded me a bit of Katamari Damacy meets Minecraft meets Mario :stuck_out_tongue: The auto-aim selection makes everything quite easy to interact with and I love that you've included a sprint.
The premise was unique; great work on the overall concept, there was a fair bit of dialogue which was well written too. The main drawback was the opacity of the task, I wasn't able to get any islands to summon even after a few days of trying. I think considering all the work that went into the assets and vibe, it would have been good to have some smaller, bite sized tasks that train the player and then increase complexity from there.
Thank you everyone for the kind feedback so far, the red pandas loved to hear it ✨
@labcatgames @cheesepencil Sorry to hear that you you got stuck at the beginning. Are you sure that you collected all collectible items? The first constellation is rock and moss, as indicated by the grey line in the star view :)
Definitely had rock and moss, connected the constellation two different ways without any luck. There seemed to be some core aspect to the puzzle I am not grasping.
I think I grabbed all or most collectibles above ground and then whatever I clicked on the summoning screen just didn't work. I don't remember any audio or visual queues that I "did it wrong" it just went to the next day 🤷
Great job guys. The music and art fit well together. Has a load of personality. Nice one!
Cool visuals! But, in your web version, there is no collusion on one of the mountains on the rock island
@labcatgames @cheesepencil That's odd - so after you clicked and dragged to form a connection between item stars and clicked on the blue "Confirm Constellation" button at the bottom nothing happend? There should be an animation of the cave wall to show you if the constellation was correct (runes sketch lights up white) or not (runes sketch flashes red).
Nice, chill game :) Really like the art-style! It was fun to try it out, I just wish figuring constellation was a bigger puzzle. Some inventory would also be nice, to know what player grabbed and what is missing. Besides that well done!
The game feels a bit unnecessarily hard, but this amazing music puts you in the correct vibe to do it;) Seriously
The most wacky part for me were the icons on the map: you pick up the 3d models of something, in inventory there are some icons, but on map they are scaled down and I confused them a lot. I think items should just be 2d, like in minecraft, or - all have distinct colors.
Went through portal, nice game and the prize was learing about magicavoxel. Moving on... ;p
Really chill, loved the submission. Controls are a bit messy but it's cute and fun and bugfree, I stayed a while into those cute island, really nice
Very cute entry!!! The music seemed a bit staticy on itch, and it was difficult to figure out what to do for the third island. I was sure I had everything! Eitherway, super cute and I'm going to have to show it to my friend who loves red pandas!
Loved the mood and atmosphere. The art style is nice and consistent. Good work!
