Nice art and sound effects! I'm so used to reviewing time-limited and stressful games on here that it felt weird to not really have a score system.(I mean it in a good way, it fits the intent of the game). Oddly relaxing considering the end of the story haha. Great job for a compo game! (et coucou camarade français o/)

Wow I had to double check this was a compo game! Impressive work! I admit it was a little hard for me. Everything was said in the previous comments, not much to add. I do see how it matches the theme tho. Great job!

AL - A Choose Your Own Adventure by starvingindie 2018-08-18T09:58:45Z ♥ 3

Super fun!! The graphics and music are gorgeous. I love the concept, really immersive, happy to see story-driven games in the jam! Bonus points for the humor.

Just a thing I noticed: I could see the different URLs for the choices when hovering them (bottom left URL preview on chrome), some of them where labelled "death-eleven" and such. It's only a detail, but you might want to make your URLs a little more cryptic if you want the experience to be 100% blind ;)

Great job!! I really enjoyed the experience.

Super simple (in a good way) and fun game! Graphics are really nice, the tiny sprites managed to make me hungry haha. I like the fact that you can still "fulfill" orders while not having all the food. It's a clever way to make the player strategize between earning points and making room to avoid the gameover.

Tho at some point a lot of food look very similar in shapes and colors. It's nice to set a few traps for difficulty and challenge, but it gets a little too overwhelming right now. (but as a pixel artist myself I understand how hard it is when you have so few pixels to work with 👍 )

The music is fitting and enjoyable. Super fun and polished game overall!

The crackings in the armor and the shine on the sword when it's ready are really nice feedbacks ideas. Tho I didn't understand the enemy were charging a ranged attack at first. Had no problem with the controls, took a couple minutes to feel at ease. As an artist I would have liked more polished graphics but it's simple and fits the music, and it works, and that's the most important. I enjoyed the game overall :> It's a clever and well done idea.

The pixel graphics are gorgeous! I like the mechanic of having to balance between surviving and creating ressources. I agree with everything that was said previously, I think you aren't far from making the experience more enjoyable.

While the font matches the art direction, the text was a bit hard to read, and too much info to fully grasp everything when time is running against you. An ingame tutorial phase would have been nice, or maybe implement features/builds gradually as the player progresses through the level. But I understand you did what you could within the allotted jam time :> Overall it looks promising!

Art and music are great! Love the RTS feels. Didn't get a really high score (2591) but I admit I'm not skilled enough to try and grind for the highest scores :'> But I had fun nonetheless. The only big complain I could make is that when you wanna place a building and misclick or have an enemy go on the cell suddenly, you have to re-pick the building in the menu, losing some precious seconds... Great job overall!! :>

Really like the graphics and music! Nice mood also, lots of Don't Starve feels :> Everything was said in the previous comments, personally I admit it was hard for my poor attention span to hold without fail for 6min with just these mechanics. But you have an interesting concept, I hope you'll continue it postjam! :>

I really like your take on the theme! Also as a fellow artist I love the painting style and colors. A bit of trial and error at the beginning to figure out the different enemies and their "weaknesses" but I found the idea very clever. Would love to see an update in the future with more challenges :)

Catching Sushi! by kokirisandfriends 2018-08-15T11:50:51Z ♥ 2

Super cute art style and animations! I like your interpretation of the theme. I agree with the previous comments, a timer would be a great addition to spice up the gameplay a little bit. Feels very polished overall!
