So polished, doesn't even feel like a jam game haha!! Graphics are awesome and I love the card mechanic, I just wish the diamonds and the energy looked a little more different from each other, cus sometimes its hard to tell. Awesome job!! :)
I love the graphics, they're so adorable!! I couldn't figure out how to make my fishing line go into the lake though, it seemed to be blocked. Maybe I was doing something wrong haha
Never have I played a fishing game where I so desperately wanted to not catch any fish, and the fish tried so aggressively to get caught!! Definitely one of my favorite entries so far, also probably the one I've sunk (no pun intended) the most time into, lol. Concept/gameplay itself is really fun and unique, the graphics are super cute, and the music is really nice! So polished too, just so many little details (the way the line interacts with the fish, the way the lower-cost fish knock off first, the way you can turn off upgrades, etc) that really bump the game from good to great. Super awesome job!! :)
I really enjoyed this!! It took me a couple tries to understand how to not die haha, but it was fun to strategize once I got it! I agree that maybe science could be given a little more power, since I found myself just selling them whenever they popped up haha. I would definitely play this if it was expanded into a bigger game, great job!! :)
Absolutely loved it, not at all what I expected!! The lore was great, kept me very invested (I audibly gasped when I found you-know-what), the art style is really nice, and it was a lot of fun to explore (though I kept getting distracted by getting the ores, I am a good little Ancadia worker lol). Super fleshed out for 72 hours, awesome job!! :)
Really great!! The branching mechanic felt really unique, I really liked it, and the puzzles were challenging but good. The graphics are also really nice to (I love the moles, they are so cute akfhskf), the only thing I would suggest is making the important tiles like the rocks and minerals a little more contrasting to the dirt tiles, because right now they blend in a little which makes it harder to look for the path I need to go. Awesome job!! :)
Excellent game, definitely one of my favorite entries I've played!! I loved the ending, definitely didn't expect it lol. I agree that it would benefit from a little more tutorial in the beginning, but I get that that's not super high priority cus of the time frame of the jam haha. Would totally play this if you expanded it into a bigger game, awesome job!! :)
Love it!! Super cool concept with the whole digging/jumping mechanic, feels really unique!! Also love the graphics, the mole is really cute hehe. Nice job!! :)
So cute!! Love these little puzzle type games, and what a great take on the theme! Great art and music too. RIP Akbarat 😪 Awesome job!! :)
Love this take on the theme haha!! Graphics were awesome, and I really liked how his arms pointed you in the right direction, that was clever! I do wish I could have moved around a little faster, but not a big deal. Nice job! :)
Super fun, just the right amount of simplicity!! Made 24 bucks the first week and then lost like 300 something next week lol too real. Great Job! :)
Awesome!! The graphics look super nice, love the whole vibe of it. The only thing I would say is that the camera turning is a little intense, made me a little nauseous but I am pretty sensitive to motion sickness lol. Nice job! :)
Super great game!! Puzzles were really elegant/simple while still being challenging enough to make me really think about it, and the art style is super cute. Great job!! :)
Loved this game!! And I'm not even a big fan of bullet hells haha. The weapons were great and really satisfying to use, and I loved the graphics and animations!! Everything feels so polished and cohesive, super awesome job!! :)
Cool game!! Particularly liked the alien sprites and the juiciness of it all :)
Love the voice acting!! Also like the mix of 2D and 3D graphics, came out really cool!! :)
Really nice game! Love the graphics and the voice acting. Maybe some sort of indication that the drill was being upgraded would be helpful, cause I never knew if I had actually upgraded it or not haha. Great job! :)
Love the mechanic of the net, felt really unique and its fun to swing it around at the fish lol! The design is also really nice and polished, awesome job!! :)
I loved this!! Was definitely tough (although I am pretty bad at platformers lol) but super satisfying to get through the levels, and I made it to the end! The art is gorgeous, feels like something I would see in an actual commercial game, and the different styles of each stage were awesome and a really nice touch! Also liked the beautiful tranquil music, helped calm my seething rage and hatred for the red spiky boys haha. Super nice job!! :)
Definitely one of my favorites of the games I've played this jam! I love the art so much, and the scratchy's stall and the fishpedia were really nice touches!! The way the hook is controlled by the mouse was a little tough to get used to, but it got better with speed upgrades and I got used to it. Really great game, awesome job!! :)
Really love the strategic twist of managing the tools, makes it a really unique match-3! Also found it funny that getting big combos with lots of big accidental matches, which is normally so helpful, is super devastating lol. Great art too, gives it a nice aesthetic! There does seem to be a bug in the web player, when you go into full screen and then come back out, the level is pushed to the side, but webGL is pretty finicky haha. Great job!! :)
Nice job!! love the music! Maybe it's just me, but I felt like the keys to rotate the platforms were flipped around? Took a little getting used to haha. Congrats on making a game!! :)
Wow.. what an incredible game!! I absolutely loved it. The art is so gorgeous, the music is great, and the story made me ugly cry quite a lot, lol. I really connected with the game, you guys did an amazing job, good luck with the Steam release!! :)
I love the graphics, the fish are so cute!! Maybe you could make the fish do more air damage, because I ended up running over a lot of them to get the air tanks lol. I got to 143! Great job!! :)
Love the concept, really unique!! I also loved the little dialogue bits you added, they were a really nice little funny addition! I do wish there was maybe obstacles or collectibles that I had to deal with when digging, as I feel like that would have added an extra layer of challenge and made me think more about when I should dig over rather than just relying on the meters. My high score was 620 :) Awesome job!!
@maxr00 Oh my gosh, thank you so much for telling me! I totally thought you just needed the exe, i can't believe its taken me this long to figure it out hsfjhdglks. I just updated the file on itch, you're a lifesaver! And I'm glad you liked it!! :)
@metadept thank you!! Yea, I know what you mean, something about the WebGL player doesn't wanna recognize the mouse at first, but I found that hitting escape and then clicking back into the window helped fix it! You could also try refreshing, but the downloadable version should be working now anyway! :)
@lakshyaisagod ahhh thank you so much!! :)
@william-corrin thank you so much!! It's amazing what staying up till 4am gets you lol. And thank you for the feedback! I didn't have time to playtest so it was hard to gauge the difficulty of the puzzles :)
@theseusinabottle thank you so much!! Music is definitely my weakest skill haha so that's really nice to hear!! :)
@crocodiletuesday thank you so much, glad you liked it!! I'm pretty sure I had that bug in the windows version too actually lol, something with the character controller that I just didn't have time to fix (plus, you're right, its pretty funny akfhskdg) :)
@boclow thank you so much!! glad you liked the puzzles, it's pretty tough to see them from an outsider's perspective when you're making the game and you know all the answers lol so that's good to hear! :)
@yamzho thank you for the feedback! if you're having trouble picking up items in the web version, try hitting escape, then centering your cursor on the dot in the middle, then clicking, this will lock your cursor in the center so you can pick up items correctly because itch doesn't automatically center the cursor :)
@wongkongphooey Thank you so much, that's what I was going for so I'm glad it came across! :)
@vimlark thank you so much for playing it on the stream!! The plant ascension part was really funny too haha :)
@kroyisyork-games thank you!! I love escape rooms so that's kind of the vibe I wanted :)
@skelleroznik Ahh thank you thats great to hear!! I like playing puzzle games like this but I've never made one so I was a little worried about the puzzles haha :)
@secret-magic-404 hahaha I get that!! It's always really satisfying to actually escape lol, and thank you so much!! Luckily the technical aspect wasn't too complex so I spend could time designing the puzzles, glad you liked it! :)
@linus-lindberg wow thank you so much, that's super nice to hear!! :)
@blockerz Thank you so much, I am definitely tired now lol!!
@webox Thank you so much, and thank you for downloading it, I know you were asking for web games haha! The clicking bug has to do with itch not centering the cursor automatically when it gets locked, but now I've uploaded a fixed version! And thanks for the feedback, I wanted you to be able to go back to memories in case you missed something, but it does get very messy lol, I can work on it! :)
@weirdybeardyman Thank you so much!! I don't wanna spoil anything in case someone is reading the comments before playing it, but they do correspond to the answer to a memory of an object in the room! :)
@icarusdev thank you very much!! I am the same way haha, it actually isn't time-based, the game ends once you solve a certain memory puzzle! :)
@lrvstudios thank you so much, and nice job!! Yea, the web version had a bug with itch not centering the cursor, but I've released an updated version that fixes that now! :)
@lmb Ahh thank you!! I've been wanting to participate in a Ludum Dare for a while and I finally felt like I had the skills and time to give it a shot! :)
Very much enjoyed the floppiness of it all, very realistic eel simulation lol!! Also had a bit of a hard time pushing the buttons, maybe adding in some wasd movement controls to move the whole eel could give it a little more control while staying just as flappy? Awesome job nonetheless! (Would also like to point out for no reason in particular that I am not an eel in a human suit, I am very much a human person, thanks)
Love the graphics!! You guys really captured a very dream-like atmosphere. Important message too. Great job!! :)
Loved it! Graphics are super cute and I like the variety of enemies. Took me while to realize that it was left arrow to attack and not left mouse button lol, so maybe that could be specified? Super great job!! :)
Great game! Loved the sound effects and the way the drill is like a little house haha! :)
The graphics are very pretty, I love the animation of the seed falling into the ground and the plant starting to grow! Very nice vibes :)
Awesome! I absolutely loved the graphics, pixel art is beautiful and I think you guys integrated the 2D and the 3D graphics together really well. Funny ending too, haha. Great job!! :)
Really gorgeous graphics, loved the super trippy/cryptic vibe!! I do wish that maybe the floor/walls were a little more visible, but I get it if that's not what you were going for. Took me a couple tries to really figure out what I was doing (first I thought it was a maze, then I realized it was time based, THEN i realized the lights reset the timer, lol), but it's a super cool concept, nice job!! :)
