Very fun use of the theme!

What an utter joy!! Raccoon antics are tragically underrepresented in gaming. What has the world even given us since Sly Cooper?? The characters somehow manage to be so charming and distinct inherently and the puzzles are really cool. It's just an awesome game concept and execution all around.

Really beautiful vibes and a fun game idea! It was easy to fall in love with this world, despite it being a pretty small game. I think the core appeal of the game is the mystery and fun of connecting the tile map to the platforming level design and in my opinion that could be amplified quite a bit. For instance, the intuitive connection between a top down map and a 2D view of platforming is difficult to comprehend. Maybe the tiles aren't meant to look like a top down map, but that was the impression I got. Additionally, it feels like it might be more interesting to be able to get the tile map wrong somehow and then try to overcome it with platforming or something. Something that complicates the relationship between the two in a rewarding way. Lastly, the promise of a lava tile map piece feels like it has to then be rewarded by the platforming reflecting that. Overall, it's such an enchanting idea with so much space to explore! I hope you guys keep developing this beautiful idea.

Fundamentally, this was so cool. There were truly magic moments desperately trying to wrestle some sort of object out of a stuck corner. You really feel the theme's importance. Honestly, despite the copy's claims, the goblin seems like a wonderful homemaker!

Really cool idea! Congrats on your first jam. Many of our team were doing Ludum Dare for the first time as well and it was such a nerve wracking and exciting ride.

The art and general vibes of the game are so wonderful! From the color scheme to the main character to the monster design, I was gleeful the whole time. I found the core idea that the same monsters would swell in size to become the boss very compelling. I wish the sword swinging itself could match that in fun and tacticalness, because it sort of undermined these other wonderful parts of the game. Overall, a very impressive game!

Really loved the vibes and was immediately hooked by the combination of the concept, aesthetic and the environment. It was pretty amazing how immediately the stealth metaphor hit me and searching the house and avoiding the pest control was cool. For crit, it would've been nice to have the player goal feel a little more urgent and compelling... I don't really feel like I'm saving my buds, escaping, surviving nor that having a larger army of bugs will add up to something. It makes the fun of the game a bit frontloaded. Still an awesome job!

This is pretty much the exact tomato rain giraffe feeding game we all expected when we read this prompt, but you executed it beautifully!

The core idea of the puzzles is so smart and charming! It's really cool how essential the theme is and it was genuinely satisfying to solve the bridge puzzle. For critique, the external world could could've been completely cut. The camera was so sensitive that it made me feel a bit ill and it didn't add anything to this version of the product. In the end, I also wonder if a Wizard really is the best player character for us to invest in. It didn't feel like this was about spells. Maybe some sort of nature coded person or druid? In any case, awesome job!
