Lovely. Live long and prosper, floof :)
Amazing artwork, and a wonderful interpretation of the theme. It took a few play-throughs to make the mechanic clear, but I liked it.
Thanks! Did you grow some carrots?
I like the humor and the graphics & sound are amazing, but for the life of me I can't control the bike at all. I just fly off into space and can't get to where I want to go. I tried various WASD and holding shift as indicated but I seem to only go up, never forward?
Amazing accomplishment in such a short amount of time. It plays smooth and fun. Nice job! Amulet is a great game engine too!
YESS!!! This is was FUN, FUNNY, CHALLENGING, ADORABLE, all the things I was hoping for and MORE. I made $168 and exploded in flames. Will definitely play again. Congrats!!
Exciting story! Well done!
Excellent job! I'm glad to hear that Godot worked so well for a first time experience. I was able to deliver some pizzas! I got a little confused/frustrated by which obstacles blocked vs slowed me, but I figured it out. The text was very very small. Overall this was really successful, congrats.
Whoa, this was really ambitious! I had fun, but I never managed to make a burger successfully. Love the idea!
I love the art style! It seems like a really cool idea. I couldn't read the text (too small & low contrast) so I didn't understand the tutorial. Nice job!
Nice job! I found the jump to be super fast and the camera kinda springy, which made it hard, but it all came together.
Lovely game! Excellent use of the theme and an adorable character. I like the tradeoff between walking and flying. Nice job!
Great idea! Fun and challenging. I like the witch's laugh. Nice clear idea & it all came together. Nice job.
Whoa - that was amazing! I got it to fly! Such a unique and interesting concept, nicely executed. Congrats!
Parenthood sure is a challenge! Nice job :)
This game looks and feels great! Very satisfying vibe. I made 150+ links and got lots of resources. I feel like I could keep going indefinitely. Nice job!
Note: v3 revised to allow 2-4 players, over 4 rounds + links to play for free online.
Yay! I’m glad you liked it @grizwhirl! In my play testing, face up improved the mid-game strategy & dramatic arc of play. I hope more people try it out :)
Thanks for all the feedback @remco! Yes, I suspect that if you mapped out all the possibilities with 2 players, then it would be a matter of who goes first. That is the nature of an perfect information game like this. With 3 players, then it becomes more difficult to predict. Some other games randomly remove a couple of cards to prevent players from knowing for sure which cards are in play. In play testing, as soon as one player thought they were ahead, they would race to complete the 13th house, so the case where the cards ran out didn't come up - except when we tried with all the cards face down, but that wasn't as much fun. I'd love to hear more if you manage to play with more players :)
I delivered 9 babies! Nice job!
I was confused at first, until I read the instructions. Very realistic tension of getting things packed before they run off the end of the conveyor belt. Nice job.
Fancy! The embedded version didn't work for me, but the one on itch did. Exciting music and fun vibe overall. The levels all felt the same, but I had fun. Nice job!
Cool and unique art style. I found the controls pretty frustrating, but I think you were successful with the overall vibe. Nice job!
Neat idea. I wish I could see the storks flying, and I was unclear on why sometimes I had no storks that could lift/reach some destinations, but I had fun anyways. Nice job!
Clever addition to Sokoban, and the bunny is pretty cute :) Nice job!
I like the fog! The game is very ambitious, and quite difficult. Nice job!
Love it! I played several times. I had to reload the page because pressing Restart left me with 0 people, but I had a great time anyways. Excellent graphics, hilarious audio, and lots of fun. Nice job!
I got 485 points! It took me a few tries to figure out that I needed to follow the arrow to get the right house (+ points) instead of delivering to any house with the matching icon (-10 points each) but once I got that it was pretty fun. Nice job! Since you asked, the art is simple but very easy to understand. The default zoom makes it a bit hard to see clearly, but it works! If you want to practice pixel art, I recommend using a very restrictive system like the sprite tools in PICO-8 or TIC-80 to work with. The extra restrictions can help guide you to a style you like :)
Adorable pixel art! The iconography on the mini games was instantly understandable - that's hard to get right. Nice job!
Nice job! I felt a bit sluggish, but I had fun.
It was a bit stressful, but I enjoyed it. Nice job.
Fun! It feels like a matador dodging a bull. Nice job!
