like the other commenters i found it a little rough, but you don't need to apologise! congrats on your first jam, and well done for getting something finished to submit! :)
i love this! :) i'm glad exploring all the different decision trees isn't punishing, but designed in a way that lets you learn as much as you want about everything in the world.
some games have particularly special/memorable moments. the first time i threw myself into a pit of spikes and then saw my corpse the second time around was one of those great "oooooh!" experiences :)
beautiful art style, it completely suits how i would expect a game with sheep frolicking in a field to look :) the music and sound effects pair with it so nicely too!
wow, the first game i've given all 5s to this jam! beautiful presentation, mini games that are actually fun and interesting is ~really~ amazing to see, and the humour is just right! even though this game isn't similar to Theme Hospital, you've captured a different kind of humour to the same positive effect. thank you for making this :)
great animation and i love the feedback on sword swings and especially on harvest - all very satisfying! balancing stats versus your own health is a good idea! though i didn't realise the health bar was on the left hand side until i was a little bit too dead :)
congrats on your first ue4 game! well done choosing to focus on narrative when making a game in a short time with a new tool, i'm sure it helped a lot :)
the biggest suggestion to give it, feedback. everywhere! when enemies are hit, when enemies deal damage etc, getting a ding or seeing a flash on screen feels infinitely better than a number somewhere flipping over to the next digit ^-^
tough as nails! interesting choice to make the respawn cost increase as the levels get harder, but i guess that's the hole healthcare systems make you dig! loved the art, animation, and music, and especially seeing the fallen patients of time gone by ^-^
the on ground controls are tough and sensitive, but the wall jumping felt super: the stickiness and amount of force from the jump were all what i would expect from a good platformer!
i like the art, and think a bounty is a great use of theme. i managed to hit the bank and i don't know if it was a bug but the coin there respawned infinitely so i got to $30k before i quit ^-^
would be rad to have seen some sort of progression in difficulty, balanced by health pickups. the same enemies mixed with regenerating health made it easy to camp :)
what an incredibly involved game! a lot packed into this, with the world behind the computer screen in addition to your garden. i couldn't figure out how to stop my plants withering but i enjoyed the pretty art and sound :)
it's got some rough edges but there's a lot of groovy stuff going on :) the customer collection aspect is super neat, i think if there was a tighter use of space it would be really special.
the people animations are great! and the music is fantastic ^-^
cute game, very hectic! lots of bullets raining down! it would be good to have some sort of feedback when a bullet hits so you can get a feel for the hitboxes and when to dodge :)
(minor technical detail) this didn't work on firefox 56 for me, it said to rebuild with assertions enabled.
the graphics and animation quality is SO high here! incredibly adorable and high fidelity! i think the fifteen second limit for each level is a fantastic idea and being able to trade your time for new abilities makes that even better. quite a high difficulty curve though!
a cool take on the clicker genre, and goodness if this isn't one of the **prettiest** games i've seen for a while! such beautiful art, and the audio complements it so nicely too!
i liked the element of sacrificing the natural world around you to make room for your cult :)
what a BEAUTIFUL narrative game! i loved permanent changes in the world between the cat's lives, it gave a strong 'every day the same dream' vibe which i ~love~. i played the game before i read the description and it only dawned on me at the lake that on my last life, there was more to accomplish in the world, which was striking!
the graphics are beautiful and the cat's perspective on a world that could be independent of it is a fantastic setting.
things on the technical side: - grid based movement would feel nicer, but this isn't a big deal :) - with concurrent text popups, the window disappearing felt like the end of the text sequence even though there was more to come - on firefox, there's a 'click' when the audio initialises. maybe since there's no sound you could disable the audio entirely? this is probably a GB Studio thing though
lots of strong points all wrapped up together here! each mechanic was interesting and fun. the narrative gave off some 'Braid' likeness :) the controls were a bit difficult to manage (warping and jumping together was difficult and the platforming a little bit tough at times. i enjoyed this game ^-^
a groovy little game! getting some good procedural generation in is a great accomplishment :) i love the shop in relation to the theme, trade offs are super fitting and make the game interesting. combat is a little rough.
cute dungeon owls are a fantastic way to win people over ^-^
