It flows really well and I find the art super appealing. There's a lot of games with this mechanic in this jam but this one feels really good and is lots of fun.

fav game I played so far! amazing gameplay, level design, music and humour. Got stuck in some places that I think were a wee bit unfair to solve (the multiple bedrooms final part, and the ending) but this is solid 5 star material.
I like the controls and the feel of it, good job! art is nice, I would have enjoyed more fish sprites or a bit more variation.
Fantastic design, as others have stated the way new mechanics are introduced is simply amazing. After finishing and I saw the highscores I immediately wanted to give my try at speedrunning it!
Really enjoyable, great job! maybe you could slow down the drills at the end because right now it's really hard to dig down faster than them, cool mechanics though
really feels like being chained to an egg and falling down a pit
beautiful art! gameplay is also fun. I loved the level designs that used the world shift mechanic in an intense way.
Fascinating game, i definitely enjoyed going through it. There's something about it that made me wish it were longer, which means it's fun!
thanks for making this! the graphics could have been more polished and I think I would have liked something different than choosing the levels to play in the menu, but the level design itself had something going. Does the final level keep track of the time or is the ending just like that?
adorable art these animals are just 2 cute
@nick-barrash I have absolutely no idea haha, I guess there's only one way to find out! @guimoliveira You probably finished it! An ending screen would have been more appropriate. In the windows version the game just closes itself so it makes more sense. @shnigle-shnagle thank you!! I wanted to make a bigger and more exciting overworld where you could go deeper and deeper so that it would have fit the theme more, but it was too late already.
Thanks everybody for playing B)
absolutely GREAT graphics it looks adorable
really really cool, I love the concept and all the little details! this rocks
Crazy good level design, really challenging and smart. Superfun! Doesn't fit too much with the theme but that's okay, I still loved it. Also the fact it's a looped map was cool.
Damn, the music here rocks HARD. Really nice job on that, I figure it took you some time! Also pretty fun gameplay and text, the artstyle is not my cup of tea but it's not detrimental to the game. It was also challenging but in a fair way, it's my fault but I died way too many times at the final boss fight ahahhaha
SUPER FUN!! I loved the colors, the level design and the feel it has. I was interested till the end. The music is stylish and it's obvious it was a game crafted with care. Only thing I have to say is that the controls felt a bit sluggish at the start, but maybe it's my browser that has a problem since I played teh webgl version. Congrats :)
C00l ga_me!! The glitchy parts are the ones I liked the most, especially those at the beginning; it's a nice take on the theme. The new version with the fixed jump worked fine and I'm pretty sure I reached the ending. I'd also say that the animations were very polished and the pixel art style looks good (maybe there could have been some more details in the background but, of course, it's still a jam game so time is limited). One super small thing I'd like to say is that the animation when you hit an enemy confused me, because the main character flashes red and it looks like he just took damage.
Super fun and really cool mechanic, I honestly had a great time and replayed it a bunch of times ahahha. Nice job! Also the music transitions when the psycho mode hits was dope.
Let me just start by saying that I would istantly play a longer version of this, I'm a total sucker for these comfy cute text based games. I had a lot of fun going through it and meeting the various characters, I feel strongly represented by Fronk :^). The humour was spot on and the Stacy part had me laughing irl, also the mood was amazing and the pixelated art too. My only small complaint is that I get what you were going for with the super pixelated font but sometimes it was hard to read.
very pretty graphics and mood - as others have said, I got huge yume nikki vibes from it. I didn't expect the world to be so vast!
Really cute game, the graphics and music reminded me of Pixel :) Veru superb, I only wish there were more maps.
Thanks to everybody that left a comment, I'm happy to see people enjoyed the mood! I do agree that I could have thought of a more forgiving way to type the text, and yes, some of the vids were a bit too long (when programming I had lost the sense of rhythm and timing lol).
@ryusui yup the game should end on white noise, I have a guess about what it could be that made you skip, I probably borked something in the code :^)
@ismael-rodriguez hey thanks for giving this a shot! I'm sorry but yeah the game definitely got stuck. One would think that a simple idea like this would not be that difficult to code but I have definitely messed something up somewhere :/ the phrase was supposed to be "and i am writing the best novel" but for some reason it didn't fully show up. Thank you very much anyways!
I really liked the artstyle here, very beautiful colours and mood! Unfortunately the game was kind of buggy for me, and even when I understood what I was supposed to do I kept encountering problems; also the game seems to always end in the weirdest moments... But the idea was cute and I can't stress enough how much I love the artstyle!
amogus
don't think I get it. I even waited for the timer to end but it just started counting negatively. Cool stuff with the infinite scrolling illusions though.
@mooncalf wow that really puts it into another perspective, pretty smart take on the theme!
damn the video pixel art cutscenes are amazing, love that style!
best LD50 game I've played yet!!! i love everything about this, really. spectacular job with the humour, the setting, the ending, the art, the vibes. easy 5 stars :]
really really liked this take on the theme, the concept immediately made me want to play it ahah. i'd say it's all very... solid.
came for the joint-smoking crab in the feed, stayed because... i got crabbed.
very cute and polished, perfect idea for a gamejam. good job on the pathfinding by the farmer too, it all feels very smooth.
very cute cutscenes :) i liked the weapon progression, made me want to get as many blue dots as possible to get stronggg fast
what can I say if not FRESH. but really. it's so so fun! and the art looks amazing, this is super polished!
@ronanrory i am very very happy that you liked the game so much, this really means a lot <3
@papabirb you are definitely right - the orb sections could've been done better and the time window's a bit too tight... i also was not aware that there are issues with the audio, thanks for bringing it up, i'll pay attention to that next time!
@hekateras yup I realized that I should've designed it to be a bit more clear, sorry about this ! you just have to enter the aura and swim back up before the timer ends
really cute art (and concept) - could've added a "you lost" screen if all the socks run away 🧦
very great entry, I especially enjoyed the pixel art (also the cool transitions between scenes) and the sound. pretty fun way of doing a point and click game!
super clever and well done... had a really good time :)
cute! there were a couple of bugs, like the pizza-client making the dialogue pop up over and over when you confront him. the story made me lol

nice game, very solid! i especially liked the art and the aesthetic.
concept is really fun and the couple of lines of dialogue too! it was frustrating to get stuck on the obstacles but the levels themselves were cool.
cute art! i do agree that the tutorial could be clearer, it took me a good while before i understood how it worked.
really cool idea and graphics, i'd love to play an extended version of this. good work!
really cool aesthetic with the glitchy billboards! though i wasn't a big fan of the soundtrack i must say.
This game is my favourite out of all the ones I've played for this game jam!! incredibly cute, original, love the combination of puzzle mechanics and story. amazing job.
