A great entry with great execution, nice work! I enojoyed exploring and figuring out the world around me :)
A beautiful game and some ingenius innovation. I have no words, I enjoyed it a lot. I also am a math lover and major, so this tickles every bone in my body <3 :D
Things I enjoyed: the character movement and control was crisp and felt very natural and reasonably forgiving. I also liked the varied cast of characters (though barely noticed a difference between some of them coz I whizzed through once I figuered out what to avoid). The audio was good, nothing mind blowing, however it did suit the game as a whole.
Things I didn't enjoy: I could not find any good way that this linked to the theme, nor did it contain much playability which is disappointing for such a great character and solid movement. I didn't understand anything I was trying to do at first, and there were a few graphical tears in the screen. Also, it seems I made it to the end but I didn't even notice that it should be the end (I walked there by mistake) and so that could be telegrahped a lot better.
Overall, a good entry with a lot of room to make it more full :D
I enjoyed this, even though I got stuck a couple of times in a room that drained oxygen but no spiders remained :( But all in all, it was a good narrative with a good level of exploration. I found the movement controls overly sensitive at first but good thing there's a setting for that.. Overall, great work :D
Am I missing something or is there no audio at all? Definitely think you should be opting out for audio in that case 😃
No idea if I did well or not, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I usually enjoy rhythm games but something about this was a bit more challenging than usual. Not sure if I can give you anything new in my feedback but I wanted to make sure you knew that I thought it was gorgeous and well done!
Also, how much art can one human make in such a short time?!
Fun, interesting but very chaotic in maybe not the best ways 🎩 I think the art and sound is done well (although like another commenter, many art styles in one). But the playability and the controls are quite complex and not super smooth! I don't understand the point of the fruit but that might be because I never made it to the end, and also ... what is happening every 10 seconds?? XD Love it though - very cute and amazing for a first jam :D
This is one of the best ludum dare games I have ever played. I am blown away. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece.
I absolutely adore it and can't think of anything to critique except MAYBE the lag on some physics processes (very rare, but I got to around 180 score in 4 or 5 plays and it happened maybe 3 times).
Amazing work though, wow. I'm blown away
I loved the uniqueness of it, and I'm mega impressed with what you accomplished ALONE. Kudos!
I did find it super difficult to understand what everything was doing but that seems like the spirit of it.
Chaotic but simple concept! I feel a little sick after jerking around with the camera too much but it does feel intentional so I respect that. I was NOT a fan of the squeaking turning noise, it was very off-putting. Otherwise I loved it and nice work!
This was a genuinely enjoyable play! Thank you for your hard work and congratulations on the result you produced! I particularly loved the countdown over top of this insanely peaceful music.. it kept playing in the background while I was "working" and alarmed me because I thought I had put on some ambient music!
Look at what these jams do to us :D
I loved it a lot! Completely random, but very well executed. Thank you for the experience of wobbly penguins :D
@julia-zhu the interaction key is F - I just found it (had the same problem as you..!) good luck :)
Very gorgeous art and music - and the game play is simple, subtle and well executed. Nice work!
It seems nothing is uploaded here or on itch :(
I enjoyed your game and found it quite unique for what I thought was going to be a standard "let's go deeper in the ocean" game. Very nice!
This is a top 10 game in most categories from me. I absolutely freaking love this, and I know you will do very well. Very, very well done. No other words. Only tears.
i love the idea, althought not the most original concept? that being said, a fun play and love your characters :D
I found the controls INCREDIBLY challenging, but the concept is cute, the story is cute and I can see this being a very fun project. Has a lot of potential, but almost finishes too soon!
Is the loop, the fact that the game is never loading :(? I waited 10 minutes so far :s
Very clever game design and fun story and art! Nice one :D
Very unique game, very well designed and implemented. Gives a very good challenge and I love the style and vibe. Nice one! It's somehow a little complex but after a while you get it.
I like everything about it, except that the green and yellow are slightly too similar for me, so I struggle on the quicker levels there :s. Otherwise, awesome concept and idea!
This may be one of the most exciting simple ludum dare games I've ever played. Nice work!
The game is nice to play, but I would have liked some form of scoring system for those who don't make it to save the flower - alternatively you could make it clearer when the flower is growing so you can feel the tension when you're about to win vs about to lose. Interesting physics and the sounds were not repetitive which is always nice, although I agree the volume could be reduced and sound effects be added.
Survived 72 seconds on my first try but it gets a lot harder, very quickly! Is it meant to be that you can pick up the logs by accident instead of letting them go onto the fire? I assume so, interesting mechanic!
Walking immediately around the fire annoyed me a little bit but it didn't detract from the experience, it actually added to the challenge. Overall a very fun little game :)
I finished the game, it took a really long time but it was relatively enjoyable although. It did crash as soon as I won so I could not even explore my creation :(
A really fun game to play all the way through, although I really think it could be improved by having a timer taken and number of deaths on the final screen. This way you could have some reason to play through more than once :). The only rating I struggled with is graphics, because I can see you tried really hard to keep consistency and style but your tutorial screen is drawn in mspaint and it hurts my soul.
I loved the game, although my only criticism was that the "end score' was about how long you kept him alive for but you could stand there for quite a while and he wouldn't die. There wasn't an obvious way to know how long you had until that happened? Otherwise, I could have played this for a long time!
You rated and played my game, so I thought I should check yours out and I'm so glad that I did !
It was very creative, fun and easy-to-learn hard-to-master mechanics. The rhythm genre worked so well for the theme and it might just be the game I've rated highest so far! The only thing I will say is your Hard mode instructions show the medium difficulty on the top left corner but it only confused me for about 3 seconds. Props for the Art (very unique and funny) and music syncing to the play.
Frustratingly difficult but very very unique
I got frustratingly stuck on level 4 but I'll tell you one thing, very very innovative. I love it. It's a very clever puzzle game - nice work.
This is really cool! I would love if there was a "time completed in" score system where it showed how long it takes you to save the turtle
I like the game but I got all 3 pieces of equipment and then I'm kinda stuck on what to do next? Is there a scoring/timer system to record a person best? Is there somewhere else I need to go? Am I missing something?
The game is very creative and the graphics are nice though.
the controls are relatively unresponsive (like a little laggy) but the concept and graphics are nice!

Solid and decent challenge! I would love a bunch of new challenges, maybe in the way of different maps/paths options! But this is still very impressive for the time <3
Btw I played on both mobile and PC. I would say it works perfectly fine on PC (but no restarting, which is a very nothing missing feature).

I loved it a lot, I have no feedback beyond that except incredible game loop feeling <3

A game all about great vibes and energy - simple yet still interesting gameplay loop. Came for the vibes, stayed for the vibes, nice work :)
