The intro was interresting, but a bit long, and due to no skip, it took out all replayability.

Had difficulty understanding when the medic died. Sometimes I got the deathscreen but continued at the same place after a short time.
Extremely polished game, it looks so good! Only issue i had, was that I was not able to cancel my actions (played in browser).
@harry-alissavakis Ah, I see. Also, small levels that introduces the mechanics would be great, the starting text introduces way too much to remember.
Beautiful game and eggcelent take on the theme ;) Was able to pick it up quickly, but I was not able to get all medals, eggcelent challenge (ok I'm out).
Very pretty background and the game fits the theme. The wood and water drops really fast and you can't move the fire fast enough, so it became more just avoiding water than grabbing wood. Losing health over time would also make sense.
@ssh-randy if you got rid of things that killed him in previous rounds, then you figured it out. The "assassins" are on a tight schedule and will drop the mission after some time (as the intro voiceline says). Or you could just, *cough*, dispose of all of the assassins ;) You will be notified on success.
Thanks for playing!
@kostasvs After he dies, open up your notes (press TAB), to see the cause of death and time of death. Then find out who kills him and try trace the steps the killer takes.
(One death might not leave a note, seems like we forgot that. You should follow your target to discover what happens to him)
@ryan123rudder Thanks!
We had an idea of putting a picture of the VIP on the notes but we didn't have the time.
Nice movement & controls and lovely soft music. Would have been cool to see a more creative take on gameplay other than point and click shooting. The game also lacked some feedback in terms of response on hitting enemies and knowing if organs when were attacked
Good job finding a game idea that fit both LDJ and Nordic Game Jam. It is a nice little challenging game.
Great idea and well executed! There seemed to be so much going on. Is it meant to be played mostly in pause mode?
Cute animations, good music, and good idea. The horizontal movement was unexpectedly high.
Great take on the theme, nice complete game with visuals and sounds. The "enemies" seemed to take a many bullets to kill, and I was unsure what causes "helpers" to spawn. Also, alot of "helpers" spawned, making the game easier over time which feels weird.
Interesting game! I was not fan of the pace of the game, everything was going so fast that it was difficult to understand what happened in the game and stop sheeps from going off to die. Did the sheep destroy fences, or did they randomly get destroyed? Anyways, good submission, and nice to see a different engine being used.
It seems to be a web build, no? The itch page is only linked as "The Game on Windows". Maybe also add the link under web, so people know they can play it in browser :)
Great idea and nice environment. I was not able to use 1-5 for potions, and it was weird that you could have more than 5 potions ready.
Smart take on the "keep a flame alive". At first I was confused why you would simply drop the flame when you died, and thought that made the game easy, but now I see that it was used to get through difficult terrain. Music would also have helped, but we can't do everything in Jams. Good submission!
Wonky grappling physics are always funny, good game! You should probably not link the itch link under WEB build, as there is only download options on your itch page.
Nice game and great idea. I spent too much time and couldn't complete the game as all plugs had been destroyed.
Nicely put together. The interactions in the room was a good idea. My plants never seemed to need water (the drops never got smaller?), but I watered them a few times anyway. Did better plants/pots give more money per second? If so, it was difficult to see.
Great ascetics, straight forward gameplay and piles of paintings. Great submission!
Thanks for providing a Mac build (had problems with webgl for some reason).
I'm having issues starting the game on the itch page. Tried Safari and Chrome
Only issue I had was being unable to pick up a block and place it in the same place again, otherwise a nice little game!
Brilliant! 8 inputs is hard mode! You could make it even more challenging (not that it is needed) if you were "punished" for pressing wrong keys.
Thanks @rhanzoc and @oller125 . We just made the Itch page public. Give it a look!
Purple gang here, screw Mike
What a crazy ride :D Felt like the best way to win was just pointing and shooting in the same place, so it quickly got a bit repetitive. Love the multiple "Get back here" if you loose!
I didn't really understand how to "finish" each level. Maybe it just me not understanding mathematics :D First two levels were very fun to play around in and the game looks great!
Very cool to have the song and "attacks" synched! Finally got to the end but I was fat and got stuck :(
Interesting idea! I wish could rotate around to more precisely place items, I had to do a lot of extra jumping to get items where I wanted.
Took a bit of time to understand, but I slowly got the idea! A bit hard to control and a laptop (Mac in my case).
Why is there a human motorboat in my ear? :D Cat games will always get extra points!
From the start it was a bit difficult to execute the mechanics. Maybe an easier start would have been better. Very unique take on the theme tho!
The arrows around the player is really well made!
A bit slow gameplay. I didn't really feel like it was challenging to put down things. But it was easy to play and the music is cozy
Didn't quite get it. I kept going into minus space (0/-12 for example).
Wow, pretty and polished and on point on the theme. Level 1 was a bit difficult for me :D Ekstra 1000 points for kitty!!
What @gwen-dekker said :D
