Great Game. The art style is unique and almost psychedelic, the enemies and obstacles are unique and interesting. It was easy for me to understand and hop right into without any prior experience.

Great Game. The art style is unique and almost psychedelic, the enemies and obstacles are unique and interesting. It was easy for me to understand and hop right into without any prior experience.
Really cool game. The controls and combat were a little clunky, but the incredible graphics, sound, storyline, and concept made up for it. Great work!
Incredible game. It was really fun playing on my pen tablet. I had a great time. Great work!
@AfroAnt Thanks for playing! If you shoot an object, the object gets pushed away. Shooting outside of your bucket can also be used as a movement and recovery option. For example, you might shoot downwards as an extra jump.
Coins serve no purpose other than being a collectible.
As far as movement goes other valid options include wall sliding and wall jumping. Sorry if it was frustrating!
Very cool mood and gameplay. I love how new mechanics are introduced. The explanations makes the game easy to play and understand. The auto generation could a little work. I spawned in a tiny hole one time and had no other choice but to kill myself. Other than that, this game is incredible! The concept is great, and the execution really follows through. Keep up the good work!
Great Game! There are a few bugs, but overall I really enjoyed juggling all the different tasks desperately trying to keep my drill alive. I couldn't make It past level 48 and it was a little hard and confusing at first, but once I got the hang of it, it became really fun.
I agree with @the-neon-shark 's points. The sound track and visuals are incredible.
It took me a while to notice the limit to the amount of fuel and water at the top right. I didn't realize A lot of the time I was collecting water or oil without it actually filling the amount of water/oil I had. Some indicator that my water/oil was full might've been helpful. I had a great time playing this and I'd love to see a full version of this game. Keep up the good work!
This game is amazing! The sound and visuals really stand out. The level design was well done and the controls were basic, but felt very smooth. Great work!
Best game I've played so far! I love fighting the enemies while trying to keep the bus stable. Everything feels very clean and polish (besides that one time I glitched through the floor of the bus). Super fun to play, and the art and music were amazing too. Really incredible job!
Outstanding. All the elements fit together perfectly. This game is really challenging, but after almost an hour, I finally beat level one. I also beat the crater relatively quickly. Maybe I'll try the desert another time. This game seriously felt like a finished product. Incredible work.
Pros: I like the concept. It gave me space invader vibes, but with a cow. I thought it was an interesting mechanic that milk is your health, jumps, and projectiles. It made me want to use my jumping and shooting sparingly which made for interesting gameplay.
Cons: While the audio sounds like you were under attack, It’s definitely not something I’d put in my spotify playlist haha. The graphics could also be improved upon, but I'm sure you did what you could given the time restraints and built in limitations of pico-8.
Overall I had fun playing it! The concept of a cow protecting the city was pretty funny and I liked the milk mechanics
As an american, I didn't really know who I was fighting, although I figured it was some sort of politician and still found it funny. I really liked watching the different attack phases, especially the dancing one. It might've been nice if you bounced off eachother when landing hits. I felt like a lot of the game was me trying not to run into Theresa after my attacks. Other than that, great submission.
Absolutely love the aesthetics and interpretation of the theme. Maybe some kind of warning symbol where rocks were going to fall would've been nice. Different types of obstacles would've been cool too. The game felt a little monotonous after playing for a while. Other than that, solid submission.
Incredibly fun game! I loved all the upgrades!
Playing this game was an absolute delight! I loved timing the piano drop and watching the actors improvise! This game’s humor was outstanding and like someone else said, the models and assets used really fit the mood of the game. I'd love to see different levels/shows should you continue this game. I seriously had a blast playing. If this game were to become a fully fledged thing, I would play the heck out of it. There's a lot of replayability seeing how the narrative changes as you switch out the props. Overall outstanding submission :)
Cool concept.
Very challenging game! The parts that went straight vertically upwards were especially hard for me. I liked the parry/reflect button a lot once i got a feel for it. It took a while to get used to everything, but I had fun playing once I knew what was going on. Someone else said this, but I also wish the beginning levels were easier. Overall, this was a pretty cool submission.
This game is pretty funny. I loved looking at the visuals and I thought making the horse move like a chess horse was a pretty clever idea. Great entry.
This game felt so good to play. The visuals were some of the best I've seen in a game jam and the music did a great job of setting the feel of the game. If I'm being really nitpicky, I'd say the sfx felt a bit jarring at first in contrast to the watercolor-like visuals and peaceful music.
I liked seeing all the new blocks that were introduced. I also really liked the levels that started off balance. It might've been nice if platform blocks acted as platforms while they were falling. Currently, you cant pass through them, and they act like a full normal block.
I wish jump height was increased by a bit. It's hard to hurdle towers without timing your jump near-perfectly. It might feel better if the base jump was higher than the double jump. Also, don't know if this is intentional, but the character respawns normally when i fall off the platform, but the level restarts if i fly too far to the left or right. Overall, I really enjoyed playing this game. Great work!
Cool game. Good take on the theme! I like the way the game progresses. I especially like how platforms start to disappear as you go on. Of course after you get past a certain point it gets repetitive. Maybe if you introduced another obstacle or platforms moving in different directions. Other than that, I had a fun time playing! Great submission.
Came here from Aarimous twitch stream. This game looks so amazing! The title screen really draws you in and the tonal shift to the gameplay was super funny! Feels smooth and complete. Really well done!!
Solid pico8 submission. A really cute little platformer. Reminds me of the metroid games with the new abilities you unlock. Love the graphics, especially the backgrounds. Great work!
The concept of this game is really funny. I absolutely love the interpretation of the prompt. The graphics and music serve the game's overall mood and feel really well. I love all the audio. My biggest concern was I couldn't figure out how to get past the first day. I definitely think a tutorial of some kind would serve this game well. Despite that, I really like the idea of managing the resources and I just love the overall idea of being in charge of carrier pidgeons during wartimes. Nice submission!
I absolutely adore the artstyle!!! Seriously great work!
Audio and Visuals work really well for the game. I wasn't able to beat it, but great submission regardless!
This is really an incredible submission. It took a little time to get started, but once the game picks up speed, it's really fun! It reminds me of those tycoon type games. I could definitely see this game becoming a cookie clicker type mobile game. The only thing that bothered me a little, is I wish i could scroll across the screen a little faster. It felt a little clunky trying to quickly move from one side of the screen to the other. Also first opening up the game felt like I was just waiting around for someone to want an envelope. Once I got past that phase it was super fun to play. The game feels very polish and well done. I love slowly earning more money and delivering more and more expensive things. The graphics and music for this game are also incredible, and serve the gameplay exceptionally well. Overall, a really awesome submission. Seriously great work!
Great game. Love the deckbuilding aspect! Seems very polish and customizable. Controls are straightforward and gameplay feels natural. Love the card art and all the graphics too! Overall great work!
Love the story and concept. The art is really good as well, though I wish there were a few more animations. I think even a two frame walking cycle could've gone a long way. A solid foundation for sure and still quite impressive for a 3 day project. I could definitely see this being a sick game with a bit of polish.
This game is actually so cute!! The audio, dialogue, characters, just everything works together so well!! I especially loved all the unique characters and backgrounds. The music was also really nice. Just good vibes all around. Great submission!!
Nice game! Game looks very clean and polished. Love the graphics and especially the "squishiness" of everything lol. Audio also fits very nicely and serves the game well. Cute little puzzle platformer. Great submission.
I absolutely love the art! The style and mood of this game definitely has potential!
Cool idea. I only ended up releasing one of the girls then stopping, because the game was really laggy for me, that's probably just my computer though. I really like the idea of telling a story like that through a game like this, though I wish there was a little more interaction, because the majority of the game was just clicking and reading text. I had fun playing regardless though! Keep up the good work!
Not bad at all! I could definitely see this as a mobile game. Good submission.
Solid submission. I really like the idea of sending out explorers and building up my map. Took a bit of time to figure everything out, but once I knew what I was doing, It was pretty fun! Great work.
Idk if this is just me, but the game was cropped weird on my screen. I couldn't really do anything :[Screenshot_233.png

Straight off the bat, you can tell this game is going to be good. From the graphics, to the pacing, to the audio, everything just feels right. The dialogue is really good and the game and all the aspects of the game just fit together really well. The game just felt so peaceful and polished. Like watching a movie. Seriously great work.
My only concern is I kept getting this error message: Screenshot_234.png
The game worked fine despite the error message. Maybe it was just my browser. Great work regardless.
