Nice, 11 - 9 was my end score
Very fun and challenging. Good job!
Very impressive! Love the art. The audio is fantastic, and it's great to see the world you've built. Great job!
I love that the menu items have physics. Good concept!
I agree with the two above comments, but the graphics and audio are great! Good job!
Very fun game, I liked every aspect of it, except that I thought C was a strange choice for attack key.
This was great fun!
Good looking game! I got a bit confused about three or so levels in - when I ran out of honey I couldn't figure out if there was a way to reset it.
Sadly the itch.io link is broken?
A pretty fun game, died a lot but wanted to keep trying.
The scythe is an interesting mechanic, I wish there was a little more control over it other than movement.
Very interesting and unique gameplay. I wish the hand would rotate a bit more quickly, great game though.
The core game seems well polished and controls handle well. The game is short and the music is interesting.
Mushroom rotation controls were a bit wonky, but liked the game. The mushrooms looked nice.
Interesting concept. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but the progress felt really slow to me. Good game overall.
Good game, nice concept and the art and music are great too. Took me a bit of trial and error to figure out what exactly was going on.
Nice and easy to run web game. Good concept and I like the upgrades. Would be cool if it would get darker at night.
Great game, had a bit of trouble with keyboard controls in the menu and shop
Graphics are great and the movement feels good. Something about it made me want to keep playing.
I finished the game, the textures looked nice but sometimes the movement was a little bit sluggish. I noticed it more when I picked up or used an item. Good job!
Good quality game. I appreciated the tips, and the art is fantastic! Maybe I'm just bad but it felt pretty difficult.
Really enjoyed it, it felt a bit slow to get the upgrades going. A lot of fun once all the mechanics are introduced.
Fun and satisfying. Ended up clicking the buy buttons way more than the corn clicker.
Nice mechanics, got stuck on level 5
Pretty bloody. Good game and good art!
Good game, the movement felt a little sluggish at first but I got used to it quickly. Took a second to figure out what to do.
Good game, would be interesting to see something like this fleshed out in a fast pace sort of way.
This is great! Good job!
@supremekurt Thank you for you feedback! The game is essentially an item gathering game. You are supposed to gather food items before the storm comes (on a short timer). After the storm, it is determined if you harvested enough food to survive the winter.
@poietic-ruby Thank you! To be honest it’s just a walking simulator, I had the core game loop finished in about 2-3 hours and was starting on art right after that. I put around 16+ hours into art between the first and second day. I kept finding that each step was actually taking a lot less time that I thought it would. I did run into an issue with GMS2 at the end of the first day where my placed tile sets would not show. It also helps that the theme was one of my stronger ideas for a game with super simple mechanics. Thanks for playing!
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I have added v1.1 on Itch. This is an update outside of LD, and addresses the nasty sticky movement and the poorly placed UI in the main menu.
@witchgf Thanks for the feedback, yeah sadly I had changed some things right before I submitted it and didn’t realize it made the player stick to walls. It’s fixed in 1.1 download on the itch if you’re interested.
@danmerey Thanks for the feedback, the buttons on the main menu have been moved to the bottom in the latest version. A change that really needed to happen.
Great game! loved the art and music. At times the controls felt a little sluggish, but I did enjoy it. Love the lore put into it.
bug.png I am getting this, windows 10 Chrome. Sad I can't try it out.
The minimap was a nice feature, handy to see where the enemies are. The jump did feel a little floaty to me.
Unfortunately, the itch link is broken. As a grower, I'm a little sad this never came to my mind.. Great idea!
I had fun, the different mechanics of the game are nice. I was a bit confused on if I had finished a whole level. I guess I missed a fence somewhere on level two. Good game!
Got an error while trying to launch the game sadly.
I too got an error on trying to run the game in the web version.
I had a bit of trouble trying to read while defending the ghosts. Good concept!
Pretty difficult to learn and survive at the same time. Good art and cool concept!
Good game! I really enjoyed it and played through the whole thing. The art was good and the mechanic was felt new and simple to grasp.
Great looking game! It was fun, even though I'm bad at it.
Impressive that it works on mobile, good looking game. It took me a while to figure out I was losing over and over again. Good job!
Nice game fun music
Very interesting. Not much to do-unless I'm missing something?
@tero-pulkkinen ah, very true! And on point with the theme. Very limited space.
Nice game, however I didn’t last very long. The theme is well applied and the game feels smooth.
Once I figured out what i was doing, it was pretty fun! nice!
Looks and sounds great. I didn't expect instant death from a bat, however.
Pretty fun game with unique graphics. interesting concept, and it portrays the theme well.
Great looking game! The audio and gameplay are great too! I dig the manual download as well!
Nice! It looks good and it's got juice.
Graphics look nice, but I'm unsure of what i should do after my inventory was full, i just kept throwing things away.
Not to be confused with max headspace! Nice job!
nice! kind of addicting!
I got 18! It's a little difficult but pretty fun.
Nice idea, interesting mechanics! art was pretty good too
The camera was a little bouncy but once i got used to controlling it, it was manageable. The music is good and models look good as well. It was nice to see features like dialogue trees and an inventory.
Very nice! reminds me of the old browser games i used to play as a kid. lots of upgrades and features! very good job.
Pretty fun. Played for quite a while but couldnt get past the wizard person.
@uni-isnor yes, the games itch page is still under construction. Needed a bit of a break from the screen. It’ll be up soon!
@uni-isnor @2thegamechanger - the game is now up on the itch page. I'm still working on the page's look though.
@2thegamechanger yes, the spike pits are pretty tricky, I kept dying to them while testing. There is a way to avoid them all together, but it takes a bit longer.
@hangovergames yes, it feels strange and backwards. I think that’s why I chose it.
@wouter52 thanks for the feedback! You’re right, I definitely should have put a secret area above the trees. I’ll probably do that in the updated version, along with some more music. The ladder and spike area is pretty tricky.. but there is a way to bypass it completely.
Hmm. Perhaps the html version isn’t working.. I can try to host it somewhere else maybe?
As for the backstory, there’s not much that has been fleshed out fully. The character is based on a character that my friend played in a D&D game years ago.
@unentokku thank you! And dang, I never even thought of laptop play.. >.< I’ll have to make secondary button controls in the next release. Thanks for playing!
@viktorthegreat Thanks for the feedback! Yes, this also causes issues with laptops. In the future I’ll map things to the keyboard rather than the mouse.
@lovewerk Thank you! I actually feel the same way about the signs/speech bubbles. They were sort of a last minute addition and definitely needed a bit more work
@deppong Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
@fiora-the-purple were you playing in the html version? Or the downloaded version? It’s possible a mouse click may have taken you out of the game window?
@fiora-the-purple hmm that is strange. Not sure why that would happen. I’ll have to do some digging. Was it the zip version or install version?
@fiora-the-purple thank you for trying it!
@sleepyufo Thanks for playing and the great feedback! I agree, ideally I would make the levels less tight, but that was the easiest way to implement the theme. It would be cool to be able to use all those moves with space to maneuver.
Nice job! I dig the music!
Looks and feels really polished! Good job, great game!
Well polished and good looking! nice job!
Nice and relaxing after sprinting thru the jam. The theme is adapted well and the art is good!
