I just wanted a burger!! Hahah I agree with the camera being a bit too abrupt though. Otherwise its a fun little game.
Neat game! The graphics are so cute!
That was really fun! Great concept and addicting :smile:
Very cute! Tamagotchi vibes :)
Amazing concepts and graphics! The game was very aesthetic and fun to play. I only wish that the game would pause once I open the recipe book and that the ingredients were labelled.
Such an amazing game as expected! I loved it! Very captivating and addicting to play :smile:
Excellent work! The dark theme with the music sets an interesting mood along with the parallax. So even though you didn't create those yourself, the eye for composition is there. I could definitely see this being something great because of its interesting concept.
Cute graphics!
Cool stuff! You have a great concept going on. The dragon on my head is so cute. Must protec!
The concept is cool. Definitely has potential, just needs a bit of cleaning up and consistency. Good work!
Really loved the art! The old man's voice was amazing :) Great vibes overall
That was great, good gameplay and addicting!
Nice concept, that was fun! Tutorial a bit overwhelming to read but other than that cool stuff!
Intense! Love the music and the concept. Took me a couple tries to get into the groove but totally worth it!!
So cute! Great work on the art and music. I love the mood, it's got that lighthearted feel!
Great vibes and beautiful art!
Love this and love the way it makes you think. Reminds me of some of the games I used to play on Miniclip! Excellent how you didnt even need to explain what each character does because it gets engrained into the users head after a couple rounds. Very cool!
Very cool game! It was immersive and easy to learn. Great job!!
The gameplay and graphics are well done! Needs some music to add to the mood.
This is really fun! I love the mechanic :smile: Really forces you to stay focused. Great challenge! Also the little transition from menu to game is cute!! :heart:
Very cute! I love the concept. Doggo is so cute :smile: The sound effects were a bit loud and scared me the first time haha Looking forward to your future games!
Hell ya! So smooth, great transitions and you got the Western feel down. Great gameplay as well. You guys did amazing. I love it, very impressive!
Simple little fun game, this would be a great typing game for young kids who are starting to learn!
Fun and addicting game! I wish there was a play again button on the death screen instead of having to going back to the main menu.
Great job!! Keep up the good work. You have great potential :smile:
Very challenging and fun game! The controls were easy to understand without any instructions and the story mode is interesting!
A fun little game! Was definitely hard haha I like the camera distance in the new version, adding some music and sound effects for the coins will add more to the experience. I see great potential for this!!
@whydoidoit @geri @kitjenson Thank you so much for the comments! @shugor We wish we could have made the gameplay longer and more challenging too and it made me realize what a slow programmer I am haha! Definitely got a feel for the time span now though!
@finntastico ah thank you so much :smile: I just uploaded the web version if you'd like to give it a try. (Best to play on full screen!)
Hey @picusbgames Thanks for playing! *spoiler* The plank is under a pile of sand, use your tongue to remove the sand! and yup I agree, animation could have been a lot smoother by giving it more transitions though i'm hoping to learn rigging soon! Same with the tongue, it was just a mess haha How does fixing bugs for this event work, are you allowed to just reupload the files with fixes? If so, i'll get that done asap!
@picusbgames Oh sweet! Thanks for letting me know :)
@slimbun **whispers** theres a plank under a big pile of sand, use your tongue to get rid of the sand! Thanks for playing our game!
@abyss Thank you so much for the kind words! Yup, these demons usually had long tongues sticking out! I talked a bit about it in my devlog if you'd like to check that out (link in my personal note) :) I'd love to come back to this game and make it a real thing at some point!!
@linluk Thank you for playing and watching our video :smile: Haha I was hoping that wouldn't happen to anybody! I definitely know what I need to fix for that bug, thank you for letting me know! (Just pretend its a cape for now :stuck_out_tongue: )
@jupiter-hadley Thank you for playing!! Everyone seems to be getting stuck at the water part haha. Theres a raft under a pile of sand to use ^.^ Regardless, thank you!!
@gustavo-christino Thank you for a detailed analysis! Much appreciated and thank you for the kind words!
Catchy music and lots of fun! Great job!
Very cool concept! We enjoyed playing it! I'll have to work on some more custom levels :)
Haha interesting concept! Very addicting :smile:
Cool stuff! I like the take on the graphics! That was intense!!
Hahah I love the randomness of the combination IT + Tamagotchi! Very clean and fun to play :smiley:
Good stuff! Lots of gameplay and addicting!
Cool little game. A bit of consistency in the art would have been nice but love how the chicken looks :chicken:
So lovely! It's amazing how relaxing it is. The aesthetic is beautiful too. I could really see myself playing this in real-time to check how the fish are doing, that would be so cool.
Cool stuff! I enjoyed playing that, the puzzles were great and I just loved the concept. Would love to see it on mobile!
Cool game! Really nice atmosphere to it! Controls take some getting used to but I did like them!
Haha that was dee-lightful. Great dialogues and well thought out great puzzles. That last one almost threw me off :D Awesome work, had lots of fun playing all the levels!
Really awesome concept, love the twist you gave to traditional fishing xD Great submission!
Beautiful graphics, lovely atmosphere and just an awesome experience in general. Super polished!! Great entry!
Amazing game!!! So impressed that one person can create something like this in 48hrs!!!
An awesome game with lots of variety to keep you on your feet. Really feels like I went on a whole adventure in less than 10 mins. Amazing job with the art and atmosphere. The peaking animation was so cool!
Very nice game! Loved the athmosphere and the game concept!!
Loved the concept! It was interesting to see all the different types of things the words would trigger! The music is a bop too :smile:
Really cool game! Nicely polished, it was really satisying and addicting to play. Really nice music track as well! Amazing work!
@isabelle-szeto Ahh thank you so much :smile: Going for some wholesome vibes haha
Thank you all for the kind words!!
@pune007 Thank you!! and I have no idea what he is hahah just a random character I came up with xD He's just a little plant whisperer :)
@anchorlight Thank you so much!! I was definitely going for something lighthearted!
@blue-pin-studio Thanks for checking it out! @ursagames Haha thanks so much for playing, I was hoping to be on while you played but it was getting late. Enjoyed the playthrough! :D
Thank you all for the kind words!!
@francisco-lucas haha it was definitely unbalanced at some parts, so happy you got to complete it! Will be checking your game for sure!
@chtimy Apologies for the bugs. The zoom level of the browser really breaks it, maybe you can try zooming in/out to see if it looks right. I will try to upload a new version if I have time :)
@vixenmink Aww thank you so much! This was my first solo weekend jam and I dont consider myself an artist so I am very happy to hear this <3
That was super fun! Loved the art style and the game is just so polished! Really impressed by how much you got done!
Really cool game, the concept was easy to grasp and addicting to play! Great atmosphere too!
I loved this so much. It really is refreshing to play a slower paced game with more depth. It was also raining with thunder outside while I was playing, really was just a vibe. Very touching story, made me a little emotional thinking about a similar personal experience. Loved the aesthetic, such a wholesome game :)
Awesome game! Very addicting and just love the vibe in general!
What an awesome concept! Great job all around, I had a lot of fun :D Loved the song!
Really cool game and great polish!! I feel accomplished everytime a cellar opens haha Nice art and music as well! Great work :D
Love this! So cute and what a charming art style. It's awesome that you went for a local multiplayer game! Very polished as well :) Will give it another play with my sister soon!
Really interesting game. It's got the addicting factor! Loved the ambient music as well.
This was a great, solid entry. Beautiful art and colour palette. I love cute and horror combos in general so this was perfect for me :) 3 tiny creatures so you nailed the theme as well. Great variety in the gameplay while keeping it clean and easy to pickup controls.
Such a unique art style, love it! The fleas were a challenge to control but thats all part of the fun! Great stuff :)
Heyyo!! Had fun with this one. So satisfying having them burst into a million particles. As usual, a very slick, compact and polished game. Love the tiny details where they change faces as they get hit and even just the variety of faces. Love the ending guy haha! Good job team :)
@barryrichter @imberny Thank you so much!!! Appreciate the kind comments :) @flipsy Unfortunately just didnt have time to do most of our audio touch ups and general polish. Definitely noted for next time! @seth-funk Appreciate you playing and leaving a comment Seth~ @meru Hey Meru!! Nice to see you here, glad you liked it. I gotta play your game, the art looks amaze!!!
Awesome stuff! I like how you all set the tone with the bit of intro. Took me a while to figure out that I could pickup the mouse hahah but I loved the explosions, its so unexpected but adds a lot! Great work!!!
Very lovely! Love the minimal colour palette and the charm that comes from it! A good amount of world to explore and very cute characters. Wonderful work :smile_cat:
Nice game! Really cool aesthetic you got going there and nice narrative that sucks the player in. The guitar mechanic is indeed really unique. Poor Logan, hope he'll be alright!
Love the concept! Would be super fun as a multiplayer game! I played your game on stream today (ManishaGameDev), just dropping a comment + rating now :)
Hahaha even though its supposed to not be a rage game, I think I accidentally raged xD Sweet concept and cool controls and great map! I played your game on stream today (ManishaGameDev), just dropping a comment + rating now :)
So cozyyyy! Very peaceful with a good amount of challenge! Thanks for dropping by my stream today (ManishaGameDev). Just leaving a rating + comment!
Love the well concept!! Tricky with not being able to survive the big drops! Cool platformer though! I played your game on stream today (ManishaGameDev), just dropping a comment + rating now :)
Nice Work! Bit confusing at first but once I got the hang of it, it was a great exploration game! I played your game on stream today (ManishaGameDev), just dropping a comment + rating now :)
Very trippy and I do like the visuals!! Wish it was a bit more clear what to do. I played your game on stream today (ManishaGameDev), just dropping a comment + rating now :) Thank you for your patience while I was playing haha
Love the cutie crab! Awesome concept of getting rid of a whole row to go deeper into the sand. I played your game on stream today (ManishaGameDev), just dropping a comment + rating now :)
Loveeee! Its too ADDICTING! but im still bad at it hahah!! Played your game on stream today (ManishaGameDev), just dropping a comment + rating now :)
So fun!!! Very addicting and a great challenge. Very nice levels and the last one was a really good challenge. I didn't stop till I completed it (I played it on stream [manishagamedev])!! You already know what the feedback pertain to: scrolling was a bit tricky and cursor. Good stuff!
Nice concept with the mama duck and her ducklings, love that you got your family involved as well!! Tank controls were a bit tough for me in this context. I also didn't expect pools of red for my little duckies T.T
I liked this a lot. A great atmosphere and plenty of little tasks. The coordinates were a fun take. Love me some Morse code! Congrats on a solid entry!
Good entry to your first jam. Congrats! Controls are a bit tricky. Hope to see your entry again at a future LD :) -manishagamedev
Fun game! Great levels, upgrades and a fun shooter! Pico-8 games are always super cool! The story is awesome!! Like I said, I'll give it another try off stream to make sure I reach the last level and beat the boss!!!
