Great game, the slingshot mechanic is great fun.
However the "nav beacons" / wayp-oints might need some sort of arrow or similar to make them more recognizable, it took me a few attempts to understand that.
A very nice concept and the basic feel is pretty spooky already. One quality of life suggestion would be to somehow mark the comment-able stuff, i.e. give them an outline/glow when the cursor hovers over them.
Very nice way to incorporate the theme - full marks for it. The atmosphere is also very moody / spooky, I like it.
Very nice art style and theme. The drive controls are a bit yank though - or I didn't manage to get the hang of them :D
@fupi Thank you for your feedback! LΓΆΓΆp cat only tells you what to cook for the tutorial flow, otherwise its about watching your catstumers and what sushi they take - the speech bubbles only give you a rough hint. The money only gets updated when the catstumers leave, so its intentionally delayed from you making the sushi.
Very nice concept and fun to fiddle with the orbit. A simple score / stopwatch would be a nice touch to compare the piloting skills among friends.
A nice concept with cool graphics and good sound design. Also really liked the minimalist visualization of the map. Some custom art for it to tie in better with the overall style would be neat.
Very cool concept and good progression between the levels. The sound effects / dialogue is a really nice touch as well :D Loved the twist with the tic in the light bulb.
My only real complaint would be that the grey pins are a bit hard to see.
A nice game overall - I was almost sad to kill the enemies since they look kinda cute :D
Very nice graphics, sometimes it got hard to actually fend of all the monsters at once when I tried to outrun them - but maybe my strategy was a bit off :D
Nice take on the concept, even though controls were a bit confusing at the start :D Cool path-finding for the missiles though. The control hint on the start screen needs a bit more contrast for me... Maybe making the sub move slower would make it a bit more immersive.
Very nice visuals and a nice game loop :)
It would be a nice touch if you could try to aim the potions jumping out to hit the speech bubbles :D
Very nice graphics and music. It's a pretty neat concept.
Either the world generation messed up sometimes or I managed to overlook the hole to the next layer at some attempts. Also no water for me sadly... But all in all a solid base.
Surprisingly I wasn't mad when the miner exploded on falling down the shaft too fast :D
Overall very nice, the graphics look pretty neat as long as they are coherent. Maybe some separation between the "+ x resource" and "tank low" messages would be helpful - i.e. show the warning to the side or something.
Very impressive submission!
Saw the progress post on Saturday and was looking forward to actually experience it myself :D
The puzzling difficulty is very good in my opinion for a concept game.
Nice take to help the rabbit escape. Very nice introduction, I felt connected with the meme rabbit deeply :D
The controls are a bit hard to get right though - seems like the rabbit is a bit drifting in a sense. Also it happend a few times that I ended up in a dead end, which was a bit annoying since I basically had to kill the rabbit by digging than.
Very cool take on the theme, cute graphics and catchy sound.
Unfortunately I couldn't quite grasp what the yellow line that appears is about. Apparently it doesn't move further down after grabbing a blue star... Is that intentional?
Thanks for the reply @mahjoub. Indeed I completely overlooked the shop π Maybe a more "in your face" hint about it would help.
Very cute idea which gets stressful faster than expected :D
Such nice cat models and noises though
@natethegreat To ease your mind a bit: At least you're not actually killing the penguins when changing the specialization of a tent/house - you're "just" evicting the ones which don't fit the new setting :)
@bmacintosh The late game is definitely unbalanced as it stands - in our attempts after the deadline it took about 30min to build the monument when extracting the maximum amount of ores from the well. Nice to see that it could captivate you so well until than still :)
We're planning to continue working on it for a more polished (separate) release though, which will definitely address this issue.
After getting some actual rest, we just pushed an update that fixes the problem with the mouse cursor sometimes activating the wrong building when zooming out. Hopefully this makes your village management easier to handle :)
Thank you all for the great feedback! :) Indeed much of the QoL features are planned for a post jam version, including adding more for the late game.
@duck-reaction Did you possibly notice a pattern when the building placing would not work? In any case, you can abort the placing with your right mouse button.
Very cute graphics - still appreciated the cat even though they could not get blood soaked :D
The animation are very smooth and a nice touch to have the adventures indicate that they are about to attack - a dodge roll or similar to counter it would be a nice touch.
Overall a solid result! ( And bonus points for a fellow Godot-dev ;) )
Mooooo!
Its a nice base idea, really liked the house connecting mechanic and the beautiful moo sounds. Also a nice idea to integrate the stats UI with the world. The (un)happiness of the cows didn't seem to have an effect - or I managed to speed run it unintentionally :D Maybe some emotes for the cows would be a nice touch.
A very nice take on the theme and very well executed :)
Maybe for future jams considering a web export would be nice, as that makes it nicer to play tha game than having to download it, which Godot nicely supports.
Incredibly cute deep-sea cat.
The life counter in the bottom left seems to be broken unfortunately, it always showed 2 (instead of 7 :P)
A nice idea with cool art - sadly I have to repeat the previous comments about being too bad at it :P
Are there multiple levels if you'd manage to beat the shielded devil?
Maybe having the bullet de-spawn after 3-4 bounces like in Wii tanks would be helpful to not have to chase it that violently...
Very nice frog boi, fun to play with the physic mechanics πΈ Especially loved the encouraging voice over :D
The graphics are beautiful, especially outer space.
Took some time to get used to the alternative movement but once I had a feeling for it, actually felt really nice. Very cool spin on the theme and nice space vibes.
Looking forward to see you try our entry as well :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/toad-towers
@chikentear Sorry to hear that :/ Could you try again with a recent version of Chrome or Firefox please...? Are you getting an error displayed or does the loading bar just stop?
Also note that contract work is chaos, so sometimes you need to get lucky to get all the modules you need ;) (What cards spawn per stack is fully random)
@weirdybeardyman Thanks for the great feedback :) In some levels you're a bit at the mercy of the random number generator, yes - but you can always restart your attempt via the pause menu (esc-key).
For the loading animation: In Godot's Export settings you can configure a "custom HTML shell" where you can customize the Web page "around" the game. See also [our shell file source](https://gitlab.com/green-game-17/toad-towers-ld49-freeze/-/blob/main/src/game.html) and the [Godot docs about the shell](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/platform/customizing_html5_shell.html#doc-customizing-html5-shell) for more details.
Thanks for the music suggestions, we'll definitely look into it more to get rid of the lagginess.
@surfa The delete function unfortunately doesn't show you what module you're going to delete (we finished it literally a minute before the deadline :D) but it should remove the modules regardless.
Try to build an unbalanced tower or one with holes, the earthquakes will make it unstable ;)
Thank you all so much for your great feedback so far πΈ
@greenxenith Sometimes your frog client slips you a card which they want you to use directly - marked by the message above the preview, although a more noticeable effect for it might make sense.
Nice concept and the controls feel pretty smooth.
Unfortunately I managed way too often to "mash" containers together and than couldn't only drop one and pick no new ones up π
unshipable.png
Also I can relate way too much with the pain of trying to export Unity to the web :D
Very cute concept, especially loved the start animation and the water movement - might have failed my first run by looking at it :D The music is a banger as well
Maybe a way to drop the house while having it "on" the cursor would be nice. But pretty cool concept overall.
Nice twist on tower building - rockets are always a plus π
Peaceful and cute :sunflower:
The rage I felt against the printer after multiple play throughs was completely accurate :D
Very cute graphics as well, great fun overall
Love the party room :D
Neat concept, my only gripe is that pre-placed rooms should maybe be somehow marked so you don't try to remove them and wonder why nothing happens π
Very nice clicker with stunning graphics.
Maybe the continue button from dialog should be in a different place then where you spam click to collect from the tree π
Very cute concept and good writing :thumbsup:
@cikyt Thanks for your feedback :)
> the pigs sometimes do not run on
If an adventurer pig sees a trap being placed, they will remember that a trap is hidden in that tile and avoid it - which can soft lock the adventurer, as they are too afraid to walk further.
Cool concept, I guess guarding the island against destruction is not an easy task, which explains why I struggled so much with diving back up :D
Very fun concept once you get the hang of it :thumbsup:
Very nice graphics and can relate to the concept way too much - 10/10 :D
Hey @ruruie, thank you for your feedback, glad you enyojed the overall concept :)
We've just added a tutorial to our game page, please have a look if you'd like and let us know if it clears things up. (We're also intending to add an in-game tutorial to the extended version soon.)
Thank you all for your great feedback so far π¦π
We plan to add more in-game information (a tutorial and a travel log) as well as adapt the selling of items at the same station in our extended version soon - stay tuned for an update ;)
Very cute cats, needs some cat memes in between :D
Really enjoyed the stylized look and felt like a solid core mechanic. Was kinda stumped that I had to click on play in the character selection instead of just [space] or smth :D
Very cute graphics and love the flare effect - the movement was a bit too fast for my taste, but overall its very impressive for a first game :sun_with_face:
Great entry, the minimal design and snappy physics really work well together :thumbsup:
I definitively was not expecting this gameplay :D
Very cute art style and nice little game overall.
Very cool "retro feel" overall.
The plane controls nicely, but somehow I actually enjoyed it most to see it crash :D
Sometimes its a bit hard to know which houses are in the foreground and which are in the back - maybe the background ones need to be a bit more faded / muted in colour?

Thanks for your feedback :) We definitively can't deny that overcooked was a big inspiration for the basic concept of our game :D
@snory : Once a seagull picks up a packed order they need to deliver it, either to the train or the truck, they can indeed not drop it onto the floor. That is by design to avoid players forgetting about the last step. We used Godot 3.5.2 and GDScript, as the web export for Godot 4.0 for 3D games is not fully completed yet. Hopefully for LD 54 it will be ready ^^
@angiemon : We've just delivered a fully loaded train of bugfixes (22 up to now to be exact, you can see the listing in our [GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/greenopal-studio/youre-doing-crate-ld-53-freeze/-/compare/993a9b651db8611ff5a93c65f749ceb2e0d518e4...main?from_project_id=45638190&straight=false)). This also includes a fix for packaging an already packed order - thank you for the note :) The power-ups bind to the seagull until you use them and only afterwards you can pick up a new one :D You need to activate them by pressing [R] / [P] / [Ctrl] / (Y) / (β³).
Unfortunately we did not have enough time to setup a custom environment and post processing effects - we played with adding a cellshading / toon shader. Also maybe adding a sort of call-out to make identifying items and handling units / packaging material easier. We'll let you know if we beautify it more in a post jam version ;)
From the initial screen the art looks lovely :)
However when playing the web embed on ith.io the bike seems to not move forward... The tire pivots when pressing [Left Arrow] / [Right Arrow] but no movement I'd love to give it another try if you could look into the web export version.
Oh I see, thanks for the hint, now I figured it out ^^ Maybe rather write it like "Constantly tap the [Up] arrow..." or similar :)
Apart from that bump in the road it's a neat game, the controls feel very appropriate to riding a bike indeed.

I really liked the art style and the music. Together with the torch light mechanic it sets a great, spooky mood
A nice entry overall :)
Great execution - even though it is "just particles", the art style is very cool, I really enjoyed exploring the sapce.
Lovely art and the physics / swinging of cups is really fun - and oh so satisfying to push everything into the trash can at once :D
A small bug I found: If there are multiple identical orders and you prepare the drink once, all of the identical orders are marked as completed.
Very cute take on the theme, really enjoyed the graphics and retro feel to it, keyboard controls are a nice touch.
Guess there was a reason I never got my fox driver license :D Rage quit after getting 400$, guess Wizard school has to wait until I find a different job...
Awesome work, the graphics are fantastic. Tricky controls, but I guess that is intentional, definitively can feel getting better at it.
A short way to summarize my experience playing it: AAAAhhhhhhhh Its just missing a never ending loading bar in the center of the screen :D
Pretty creative take, loved the aesthetics as well.
Nice arcade game, very cool art ^^
Not sure how well it fits the jam theme - I guess you're expanding a _limited space_ :D
A nice take on the theme, I enjoyed it. The music is very atmospheric.
Some additional SFX of the ship flying / slowing down to get in orbit might be nice.
Also an option to "re-shuffle" your cargo after flying to a different planet might be helpful, otherwise I sometimes had to cycle across all the planets to get more space π
Thank you all for your comments, great to see that you're enjoying our game so much :rabbit2:
@pichiiparu In fact _all_ assets were hand painted in acrylic paint and then scanned for the game - you can see some more details in a [Behind the scenes](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/rabbit-reporter/rabbit-reporter-behind-the-scenes) we posted the other day :)
A fun spin on the theme, could be fun in a jackbox type local multiplayer setting ^^
(A side note: While I appreciate that you mention the use of midjourney for generating graphics in the credits, from my perspective it would be better to be more open about it on the ldjam page or perhaps even opt out of the graphics category, depending on if you modified the graphics yourself or if they are directly taken from midjourney.)
Creative spin on the jam theme and cute graphics.
Sometimes the "carrot detection" (to prevent the tile on which the carrot is currently sitting from moving) did not work and the carrot would fly across the screen after closing the map π
Nice twist on the theme, very groovy music and love the art style.
Sometimes I "clipped" into an asteroid and had to wildly grapple around to get unstuck, but only happend like two times in practice mode.
Great interpretation of the theme. Loved the graphics, really cute sketch style.
Cute sprite art and I'm always a fun of puzzle games ^^ The block puzzle fits the theme well for sure
I'm not sure if it is a bug or if I'm overlooking something... How is my little Acolyte supposed to use the left idol block...? Screenshot 2023-10-04 220556.png
Really nice game overall, love the graphics and the fun dialogue (dialogue based games unite :D)
Unfortunately I was not able to find the lighthouse initially without the map here... Could you maybe add a dialogue option to get a hint about where it is in-game?
Also the camera "swinging" a bit when you change your walking direction is a bit dizzying, I'd prefer to manually control it rather.
Very nice game, really liked the graphics. The explosion seems to be overpowered, but because of that I really enjoyed it, after I got beaten on the 2nd night at my first attempt.
Unbenannt.png
The variety of monsters was cool. Could definitively see this expanded into a bigger game.
For me the 5th night never ended, is that intentional? (It is called the endless night after all :D)
Very good execution of a solid take on the theme - really scratched the logic puzzle part of my brain. Beautiful graphics.
The game said I did a good job <3
Took me a moment to realize how to connect the demons, maybe a live preview of dragging the line might be nice.
But an interesting concept overall - and congrats for being one of the first submitted games :D
A nice take so summon chess pieces.
Overall a nice mechanic.
Maybe a little hint when trying to do an illegal placement to explain why it is blocked would be nice. (From my understanding you can't place a new piece if it would be possible to take another piece in one move)
I think this is a great basic premise to explore it more in a bigger game.
First of: Really impressive tech art and graphics, just beautiful β¨
I'm adding to the chorus of taking a while to figure the mechanic out π
Here's my hypothesis of it for anyone that's stuck: - You click and drag your mouse to define an "edge" along which a molecule gets split - The split molecules then get accelerated away from the "edge", on a perpendicular direction - The blue molecule spawns above / left of the "edge", the red molecule spawns below / right of the "edge" - The blue molecules are charged positively, the red ones negatively - If any two molecules of the same color collide, they combine to a bigger molecule of the same color - If any two molecules of different colors (red, blue and white) collide, they form a combined (i.e. bigger) white molecule - Red molecules score negative points, blue and white molecules score positive points
I think a short hint at the beginning of the game / after x tries with a 0 or negative score would really help. Maybe even something vague like: > Try to consider how molecules move after splitting - your mouse drag does not control them directly.
With a bit of tweaking and maybe a tutorial level at the beginning this feels like it could become a very solid mechanic!
Thank you everyone for the kind feedback so far, the red pandas loved to hear it β¨
@labcatgames @cheesepencil Sorry to hear that you you got stuck at the beginning. Are you sure that you collected all collectible items? The first constellation is rock and moss, as indicated by the grey line in the star view :)
@labcatgames @cheesepencil That's odd - so after you clicked and dragged to form a connection between item stars and clicked on the blue "Confirm Constellation" button at the bottom nothing happend? There should be an animation of the cave wall to show you if the constellation was correct (runes sketch lights up white) or not (runes sketch flashes red).
Thank you all for your feedback so far :love_letter:
We've just added a little tutorial to the game description to explain the mechanics. Unfortunately we were unable to add it in-game in time :/
@patomkin There is a cartridge hidden under the scrap north of C.A.T.-B.O.X. to unlock building rats, which collect the scrap so that the monkeys can salvage it. Unfortunately the monkeys only work on scrap which was collected by rats, not on scrap which ruby the raccoon collected - so sorry for the confusion.
@mullenratte Thanks for your detailed feedback π
We added a full dynamic soundtrack to the game, so it's unfortunate that you didn't get to hear it :/ On which platform and with what browser did you play the game?
Thank you for your feedback @the-quinnzite-mushroom π
There is indeed a win screen - in your screenshot you can see that some butterfly bots are still hard at work :) Once all plants are all grown up there is a win screen.
Very cute drawings, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the bees buzz all over the place.
Good implementation of an idle game :yellow_heart:
Very nice take on the theme with cute graphics.
I enjoyed the gameplay. Unfortunately sometimes veggies got stuck on a tree at the edge and I spent half my time on trying to rescue that single one π
Really well done game - great art and music and I loved the "mini-map" at the top
Really nice entry - I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the dungeon on my own, actually enjoyed that there were no hints.
Maybe the torch could have been slightly brighter, but I guess medivel torches aren't that advanced :laughing:
Here's [my map](https://static.jam.host/raw/f77/c2/z/6c4a4.png) (can you tell that I'm not the artist of our team? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)
Really polished game, I enjoyed the "sketched" art style.
Unfortunately there is a rendering bug when opening the game in Firefox :/ Opening it with Chrome works fine though. Untitled.png
hey @mrpoopybutthole, thanks for the comment - we just pushed an update which should fix that problem :sparkles:
@antoine-bodin Unfortunately we didn't manage to implement hints on how to get what effect in the Nekonomicon, so it just relies on trying out different ingredient combinations. The quests are fully randomised though, so if you start a new run, you'll get a different quest.
Well polished game, the ambient and adaptive sound track really added to the flair of it.
I saw multiple fish dodging my Submeowrine by directly crashing into a wall, maybe they could be a bit smarter with their swim-path-finding :laughing:
Really great game, everything fits together perfectly :star2:
The "rating" of the forged painting unfortunately feels a bit unclear - does a red x mean that the part was completely wrong / just placed wrong / not cut out well enough? Or maybe I'm just complaining because I'm bad at cutting them out :laughing:
Very nice concept though and great execution!
Pretty art and a fun concept which you implemented well.
Unfortunately both here and on itch the embedded game is very small, making it hard to recognize things and to read text/money amounts.
@solvenoff @doridie Thank you for your great feedback :duck::yellow_heart:
Also thank you for snitching on the duck buyers - we just pushed a fix, so you can sell each duck only once :laughing:
The undercover police ducks are very good at being undercover indeed - but they can be spotted. Take a close look at the animation on the police screen, it contains a hint :eyes:
@ira-baciu @lehmy @eggnisi Thanks for the quacking feedback :duck::yellow_heart:
Sometimes a duck is too far away to reach it for collecting - you can only collect a duck if it is highlighted when hovering your mouse over it.
Great concept, really nailed the unsettling atmosphere π±
