That's some pretty nice game mechanics to combine the darkness survival with some kind of tower defense with the torches. Well done in this short amount of time. I also like the atmosphere. But some (even very simple) background music could have improved this even further. Also the difficulty curve is somewhat off after some time, but we all know this is an issue in game jams, right? :)
@szkocka This screenshot is amazing!
@warrrkus You kind of have to build a "level" which suits the theme. You can totally build a melody with a ball stuck in a loop. But yeah, it might not be obvious.
Nice game Idea and cool puzzles! The start has a bit of a steep learning curve but if you stick to it, it's worth it. Probably the time control should be on a button as well as others mentioned.
Impressive, that's a lot of text lines that have been written. The humor is great! The game is so surreal, I love it being this kind of different.
Nice atmosphere and the music is very good and fits into the mood. I just would have missed being able to jump on spacebar, but that might be my preference.
Good small game! I like the music and sound effects and the graphics are nice. Some more content would be nice.
That's a very finshed game, I like it. Sound, graphics, animations and gameplay are really nice! I just missed a dodge meachanic. The antibodies were a bit too fast for my taste.
Really nice game. It's a nice physics- and alomst puzzle playground. But I would have loved to be able to jump on "space". Maybe it'S just my personal preference.
There it is. Two of my favorite genres combined with excellent art style and moody music. The start is ab bit too "hard" in my opinion since the time you have to figure out everything is quite limited. And I also think that the growth rates are too fast. Maybe reduce the requirements of the villagers and let the plants some more time to grow. But anyway, this is critic on a high level. Very nice job done!
Unfortunately the game does not run properly on my pc. The window opens but then nothing happens. Would have loved to take a look at the game.
I tried running this on Windows 10. Running it from the command line also does not work. My installed Java Version is 1.8.0_171. Since the window is not responding, full-screen does not work either. I hope this information is helpful, but maybe other users are more lucky.
Yes, this is the window title. The command line output is:

Nice idea and super cute graphics! I wish there was more content, but anyway: good job!
I like the detail that you lean a bit to the side when jumping or sliding. This feels good!
Nice first game! But it's pretty though. There could be more variety of enemies, but we all know the deadline for the compo does approach faster than anticipated.
Thanks so far for the feedback! Today I noticed the negative gold bug myself, but I think I should not fix this after the deadline. Also I think the game balance can be a bit odd after some timed played.
@Victrola-Sage Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions! For the first time during a jam I had about enough sleep and I can really recommend that! It makes you so much more productive the next day. I made the music myself. I was not really satisfied since it's very very simple, but I am glad you liked it. I totally understand that the clicking can be very stressful, but actually there is a state of the game (if you level up the characters properly) where the game if too relaxing (poor balancing). ;)
Some more comments on the bugs:
- If the button text is not displayed, try to refresh the page and reload the game - The gold bug can be avoided if the enemies don't get too far to the cabin (I know it sounds crazy)
@ja-viera Thanks for the comment! About the progress I agree. I was working on this game alone and in the end I did targeted for about 5-10 minutes of gameplay since time was running out. The genre should be a mixture between horror, tower defense and clicker game, but in the end the horror aspect was a bit short.
Nice idea and art style. Unfortunately the jump controls are a bit imprecise.
Nice work and I appreciate that this is very well playable for a game jam game. Some instructions would be helpful and some kind of overview map. The controls are very satisfying and I know this can be very tricky to achieve.
