the character select is so cute, and the head drill is such a fun gimmick, i love it 10/10

Cool game. Very unique vibe, and the map feels big and diverse. The head drilling mechanic is unique and an interesting take on combat. Great work!

I loved the visuals and the music fit them very well. Interesting gameplay idea, and it's probably good that the game is so forgiving with what counts as a square. Combat could get a bit frustrating when some attacks are very hard to dodge though, and some enemies move around faster than I would like given that I have to draw around them.

Absolutely love this game! I got 300 mo and finished the boss. I think I explored the entire map but probably haven't revealed half of the secrets... This reminds me of Sylvie RPG, but I think I like this game even more than Sylvie RPG (especially the control and graphics style). Great job done! I hope to play more of this kind of games!

Really tricky to draw around the enemies but really cool idea and I love the art and music of it!

My favorite entry so far. It was innovative, funny, and clever in all the right ways. Really the type of game I play jams to find. Thanks so much for sharing this gem with the world :laughing: It almost made me late for work...

@qhboiboi I'm glad that you think that it is both cute and fun!!

@the3rdhunter I'm so glad that it comes across as unique and that the map feels big and diverse despite the time constraints!!

@absolute-garbage I'm so glad you love it! As you know, I have really loved your past two LD games!! And I also love Sylvie's games, so I'm glad that this reminds you of Sylvie RPG.

@youcarryoats I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much!! But I am glad you were not late for work :-)

Such an innovative and charming entry haha! Combat was fun, quests were a blast, I lost it when I had to recover the soap for the giant haha. The enemy attack patterns were a tad too fast/unpredictable, but the overall experience was a blast! Great job!

This was pretty awesome! Character creation screen, hidden messages in the ground, it was just fun exploring and finding easter eggs (It's 4:49 A.M. :3). The art and dialogue are adorable.

The battles are challenging in mostly a good way. Most random part was defeating the tiny demons, because they move around a lot faster than you can aim with your dig tool. I enjoyed fighting the larger bosses, dodging attacks is rewarding with the limited movement you have. The game's really forgiving, it's nice that the only downside to losing HP is having to walk a bit.

Almost got 100%?

Great game! The cute graphics combine with the tone of the dialogues to create a very weird vibe that I really enjoy. The drilling mechanic is very clever, and getting upgrades feels very rewarding.

I feel like the goon fights were missing some kind of indication of how much health they had left ? At one point, I was trying to beat a good that killed me over and over until I realized that health was (maybe?) restored each time I died :sweat_smile:

Apart from that, I ended up spending a lot of time trying to find all the buried secrets. Love it!

This was so cool, the audio, visuals and tone all fit together perfectly and the game has such a great atmosphere. It's so sick seeing a game with an intentionally low res style look so good, I feel like it's really hard to do :)

The combat is fun and I really enjoyed exploring the map, you did a great job hiding secrets around so that it feels like there's a lot to discover.

googlypoo 2025-04-11 02:28

The animation and atmosphere is delightful!

I felt I was missing something though as the enemies were very tough, I couldn't kill a single one. It felt very hard to avoid taking damage. Digging up secret items was fun, though. Cool game :sunglasses:

definitely cool ideas here and Baba is Me vibes! (=good)

Hi, first at all that's a great game.

It feels very polished, and as much as I don't like adventure game such as TL of Zelda, I liked travelling this little world and discovering its secrets. I liked being stuck wondering what could help me, then finding somewhere else exactly the upgrade I needed.

However... I have to say the treasure at the invisible wall was inappropriate. Seeing my character butt-naked had me laugh, but him fully naked is clearly out of place. I saw that the golden statue in this game and your previous game has full nudity too, so it seems like it's something dear to you.

You may keep it there or not, but you should at least put a disclaimer before playing or in the submission page. For you it may be be just something funny or trivial, but for some people it's not.

It won't change my rating as I liked the game in many aspects, but the game would be great and funny even without this.

Cool game, I liked the random character at the start and the unique digging, although it was difficult to get the enemies with it.

discofish 2025-04-11 14:25
