Nice a rhythm game! Really beats to the rhythm, lol. It freezes here to at some points. But regardless it seems to have a nice vibe going and gameplay from what I got the vibe of after over a few reloads.
GG, would like to try again when the freeze issue is solved :D
Beautiful game, loved the art, it was fun and had it's quirks. I would play this again during a bad day to cheer up. It had a sweet end. :3
The art was great and I liked the asthetics and vibe that the game had going.
Was struggling with the end of the ladder though and had to time it with jumping which I found quite difficult.
Otherwise solid game.
It had quite a bit going and was enjoyable. The art and animations were great, I especially liked the music that were quite fitting and added to the vibe. Great game C:
Simple, easy and nice art if I were to describe it. C:
to ma lady!
It was really pretty and charming game with uniqe gameplay. I enjoyed it a lot. C:
Very simple, but cause of the music it was quite enjoyable and very epic!!!
I figured out eventually that I had to go back to the shop to get more pizza, but agreed that it leading ya back there would be good. Too many ratz to run from, geez I gotta deliver the pizza, sho sho ratz. Nice pepe C:
Was a simple, but charming and cute game. GG Great game C:
It has a nice vibe going and the art was the highlight for me. It could have had more going in the gameplay area, but ya delivered regardless. GG c:
I found it quite fun. Ireally liked the pixel art and music went well with the vibe that it had going. GG Good Game C:
It had quite the personality going and gorgeous art, both 2D characters and the 3D world. I'm not the biggest fan of driving/car games that much personally, but the game seemed quite smooth regardless. I got stuck with the car at times, but the way it moved was intuitive and as expected while not that easy, so got the bad end, lol. GG Good game C:
Let me join in! Valhalla!!!!!!!,lol Nice art, music and unique take on the theme. Nice gameplay, but it sorta reminded cause of the layout a bit of a strategy game more so. GG c:
It was a great game, with an unique take on the theme. I pretty much enjoyed every moment of it and was suppried by the amount of detail with both art, being able to examine stuff, music etc., reminds me of Ace Attorney format, but more serious and making me think over ethics while I wonder which one was rifht or perhaps both in alternative universes, like an open end or Schrรถdinger's cat. Great game GG C:
Mary sure does not have an easy task. Was a bit hard the first time cause I did not check the controls properly and use her special power, but the second time around I managed with that. I enjoyed pretty much all, the jokes, art, BGM and gameplay. GG C:
Fun game and opening dialogue and unique take on the theme. GG
The drifting worked pretty nicely and controls and gameplay was nicely done. I was able to drive outside the area I was supposed to and smart screen pop up when I lunched the game, but otherwise it seemes like a pretty decent entry. GG
The art is beautiful, one of the endings was unexpected and interesting and I personally found it quite enjoyable to replay for the other endings, but a skip button or function would have been nice. Nonetheless GG C:
Nice gameplay, mood and jokes. I had fun at least and gameplay felt satisfying, while not too hard. GG C:
The houses keeps spawning one after the other, lol. Jokes aside the movements like the comment over mentioned had some minor issues, but one was able to play it despite that. Otherwise it feels like it was missing some element to make it stand out a bit, but it was fine and ya managed to deliver something in time, so that's good C:
Quite enjoyable point and click adventure. It had a nice eerie atmosphere going and I liked how the BGM added to the vibe. GG C:
Had some issues with the sound and could not hear anything at first and though it should be there cause ya did not opt of that one, but messed a bit with my sound volume and was able to hear the music eventually even when I set it back to default even when I exited and went back into the game. Duno what was up with that.
As for the game, the gameplay could have had more going for it. On the second run I got stuck at a part with a tree, even when I went back and forth and tried to jump over it from different distances I was unable to proceed. For me personally the aesthetics was the highlight, really charming and cute game. C:
Enojoyed both story, gameplay and aesthetics. It has a lot of personality going. The ending was a bit unexpected. You should expand on this and make it a full game, would like to see what happens after one of the endings that was cut short or the rest of the other one if anything more. GG C:
Was easy enough controls and satisfying throwing them into the devil mouths. GG C:
The beginning convo was funny. The graphics and vibe has it's charm. Good going (:
Graphics seemed nice and especially the interior of the spaceship and the simple animation that appers when ya lunch the mission is pretty cool. Sadly but was unable to figure out what I was supposed to do even when I played 2 of the missions that was said to work. Got like a few pacages in cargo mode, but was hard to move around and mercenary mode was confusing. WASD worked to move around, but otherwise I duno what I was supposed to do once I got to the missions itself even after messing around a bit with options, keypad and mouse. Got a picture up by accident on google that had searched up Celestial event, whatever that was. https://www.google.com/search?tbs=sbi:AMhZZivXTEcknDfMWhLvTAJP72M2xzLRb_1Nos48qrmf3u1U0bIyus6ZzefK0-xNgpj27I5ROGaZl66zUwGFAKt4VCGUz82ss_1XX6NaGnKMQe72lDYXOfKZqX2ycOD-ycoXVBOJkL-zZB0bcznW-M3FbkRgdfeWcevCnik7HGHl3aKmi90nIg1EsIS_15ZWKoqf3-RWo3cR5yY5uVAqfGcV8Nmh9oSlidrB0O9rB5sPsobUKj5yooNNaFezGC71axP1HncvZ8070QbMQgQ7m_1o42Tl4rvo1EDKoFbzBzHBG4GCN4VYkWHjiwQNs7iEhTvwoZpEJPyxOTspt8O4IwRQs-gj0a-iJRpg80vMgnLOIc1sJoJ4VBrEApr7x_1DzjnX8K_14ZIbNqR9V4Jikrn5nWmEobWUNUB_1K67w
I guess it is missing a bit and rough around the edges cause it is unfinished. Would be nice to add to the description how to play it, controls etc. and or a tutorial section in game. But otherwise the idea seems nice and could be something decent once it gets more added to it and polished. Great work! C:
Smartscreen pop up, but anyways what a pretty, but demanding godess, shesh. Music and gameplay mechanics were nice, but art and innovation art was the highlight for me. Driving was very difficult with the wasd keys, seems like it is better suited for a controler and it was hard to work with the time along with that.
Is she flirting with me? what a pose, and that booty and legs, lol imao Skjermbilde 2023-05-04 233035.png
Great entry :D
I would like to see more of this one if ever to expand. It was really fun and the art was charming and funny faces, lol. The overall bgm was chill, laxing and nice, but I personally liked the ones for the endings and more so the later one for the garl, but would have been cool if it switched to something else when he was ran over. It could have had more interactive gameplay elements or more characters to create more runs if ever to expand. For the jam iself props for adding more than 1 chara. And as one of the comments above said a skip or fast forward button or option would have been convinient to have.
I enjoyed watching the animation and cut scenes of what truck-kun was doing meanwhile. The dude really looked like he hated his job and wanted to smack his face with his bag, feel bad for him cause dude looked miserable and lol what happend at work in one sceene. Feels like cars, but with a more questionable (run over people to send them to another world), but fun job, lol. Appreciated the small variations depending on which time of day ya combined for the first dude and 2 distinct quite different charas.
I had an issue with the girls run where the screen just went all black for no apparent reason (This happend when Afternoon or Evening was choosen and was able to recreate the issue the same way), but choosing all other options worked. And another minor bug that appears when ya finish the fist dude and go over to the girls. It shows that ya got 2 influences unless ya clear it it goes back to normal, 1. Otherwise if ya run with that, the events seems to work normally, and same hapepens with the other dude.(Enjoyed it and wanted too see all the small differeres, so replayed several times.) Skjermbilde 2023-05-04 220913.png Skjermbilde 2023-05-04 222006.png
Spoiler so will be brief and vague, but what happend with her and truck-kun took be by suprise and made me laugh a bit with the second thingy that happend and liked the reference in the ending, nice world before a lot goes down. But I thought to myself from reading her bio, "she does not have a job and would probably wake up late if she could, no way she is gonna be awake at morning and out and about. It has to at least be noon or after.", but you are supposed to influence their day, so it is not so much an valid idea. Great entry.! C:
Really cute, colorful and polished game. I personally really enjoyed it and got the hang of it after 2-3 levels. Great Work! :)
I liked it, the atmosphere is nice and it was very charming, and mesmerizing ending. The hallucinogenic rainbow effect was nice. I liked how it was visually was keept simple including the color palette, cause it did not feel like the different aspects where fighting for my attention, but playing together as one. Less is more as they say.
More or longer would have been better sure like a bit more to the endings or during the middle of the game (cause I enjoyed it and wanted to continue), but it got a lot to it already and one can only do so much with so little time. It is really good for your first one to be honest. Great Work! Looking forward to see what you make in the future or next time. ๐
Fun and cute minigame. While the gameplay is simple I find it was a + in this games case and made the replay value for me higher at least. And as the above comment says, it gives of a classic formula that gets to one c:
Fun little game.
I laughed the moment I saw the thumbnail, genius ๐ and was pretty simple, but fun game. Great work!
It was simple enough with nice art. A lot one can do including some unexpected choices, but quite fun and definitely some stuff one has seen around, lol. Great work!
It has good art, music was decent as well as gameplay.
But too easy with PC screens that has touch screens which I doubt most players have so no biggie. That made it boring fast, but then the game ended fast ๐ Which is to expect.
But pretty so solid entry regardless.
I feel that the notes does not fit with rhythm of the music with some tracks, while the second one did. It needs some fine tuning with the timing of the beats and possibly a harder difficulty level as well, for it to feel like the flow is there.
But the idea is creative and the game is quite visually striking.
The theme did not fit exactly, it could have been something as simple as a slash sound and animation of the cropp dissapearing at certain intervals to make it like they were harvesting it at the end of a stage or song, if not batches in intervals, or each note could have harvested one wheat strand etc, so ya had a whole batch by the end, example.
First imoression: WOW, wow!! Charming art, but wow amazing voice acting and cinematic antimation in the opening scene that blew me away!!! Who ever did the VA work, ya are amazing!
After playing: Janky controls, but good bgm, ghrapics and decent gameplay. Still looks like a more or less commercial game. Great work!! :D
Cute and charming game.
Could not go underground and was unable to get to the police station for several reasons. Like the elevator not working and character could not jump high enough to the third floor. Duno if the station was there?
But otherwise it was quite visually striking and polished in that sense. Great entry ๐
It is very very visually striking and the music gave a nice vibe, but had a bit of a hard time catching the fish.
Nice graphics and an overall fun little, charming game.
Got some nice aesthetics. Mood fit the plot and the art.
Saw how ya tried to twist the theme which was creative, but was a bit vague.
Was really creative that ya used rhythm ganeplay for the harvesting theme.
Nitpicking, but there was a really hard difficuly spike after level 3, so could not get the ending sadly. In rhythm games I usually tend to tap after the bgm. It had rhythm, but it did not exactly go after the bgm, would have been nice if it did. It was not a big problem.
Felt very slice of life ish, until the twist at the end. O.o Not sure what to think.
Character was a bit slow too slow I think in the beginning even if it gets faster over time. Gameplay was fine.
But! Cat is cute like a blob and gawd!!! the cat sounds makes me wanna squeeze it!~ >.<
The characters were sorta sheepish, but cute~ Music was chill. The dialogues with the dad were fun. Dad jokes, lol
Very wholesome and cute game >.<
Flex to daddy!
Was a bit hard to figure out how to carry and deposit the organs as there was no indicator if one was holding it.
On the other hand I liked the bgm track and the art. The chara one plays as is cute.
It got a bit buggy after a while with putting all the organs on the table and very very hard with such a fast timer.
It would also have been nice with clearer instructions.
It looked visually nice.
Good job, this can turn out to be a good game I think with fixing up some bugs here and there and fine tuning the gameplay. C:
Gameplay was sorta eeh, did not get much feel of an accomplishment.
Very generic mobile game-esk.
On the otherhand it was very visually striking and chill.
There is a lot going on, very high consept and a nice vibe. Astonishing how ya managed all that in such a short time.
Harvester could need an update but otherwise very very good game.
Applause to ya man ๐
The art and good choice of bgm~
The movements of the character is like ice skating.
Gameplay was fun, not really any complains other than the movements.
Good job!๐
Really cute art, the music and the vibe is nice, but the movements are a bit janky and wobbly.
Too bad it did not have more content, would have been nice to spend more time with the old man.
Poor grandpa, RIP
A first I have seen that ya can play on the LD page itself O.o
It would be nice to have a flashing light, or healthbar over the enemy that appears and decreases. Something to indicate damage, cause the sfx does not tell if one is actually inflicting damage.
A bit tricy to figure out the controls in the beginning so instructions would be nice to have.
But the game itself is nice and a solid entry ๐
A bit tricy and hard, but the gameplay itself if fun og got a nice bgm.
It was generally fun and creative.
Only thing that would be nice to have or felt like was maybe missing, that I can agree with one og the others above is that it would be nice to have a score or point system of some sort.
But regardless of that, the gameplay is solid and personally I really liked the graphics in it's entirety and the penguin was cute and quirky. A very charming game ๐
Short, but adorable and the music was great. It fit the theme nicely and was creative the idea itself, the different outcomes and how one gets prompts of how to do different things for the next run as well. Nothing I really disliked or got to criticize. But the slime and how it moved was really cute and I really really liked the art. The Hero's sprite was cool, looked a bit like Cloud. Liked the extra detail with feedback if one tries to interact with the bed.
Beautiful graphics and I really liked the music that went along with it.
It's not too short but looks like it was done in a way to allow for the most content while not using too much time, for what one can squeeze into a few days.
I love it! Despite being the first time it's pretty much a perfect game jam type of game entry in my opinion with how little time one has.
Awesome work! ๐คฉ
And I agree with some of the comments above. New elevator Waifu, lol.
It was a somehow difficult, but good as a challenge.
Great sprite work! ( :
I found the end quite unexpected and the sfx at the end was fitting a oof and concerning. (In a good way for what you made)
Btw, I assume you did the voice acting yourself? Is it your first time or have you tried a few times before?
Anyways it was not too shabby, while a bit too deep maybe and felt like a warlock of sort was speaking to one.
But enjoyable non the less. Great entry C:

Survived 1min 59 sec on the third try. Was easier once I figured out how I could dubble jump to get on the pillars. Fun game and it got some good art and loved the music that is easy to vibe too and brings the entire vibe of the game up. GG C:
MEOWTERSPACE by Tetracold 2024-05-03T16:52:36Z ♥ 2
The art and strong colors really draws ya in. Fun unique consept and really polished. Should consider expanding or updating after the jam and make it a full on bigger game, I would play it again. GG C:

That was a great game. Loved it. The art was amazing and it had a nice vibe and atmosphere going. Did not see the story going the way it did in the end. One hell of a miad indeed. (Seems like a pun, the title) GG C:
Familiar Quest by BalimaarTheBassFish 2024-05-03T15:34:56Z ♥ 3
It was an wholesome visual novel. The music was quite solid and the art was amazing if I had to put it into words especially the animals/creatures. It felt a bit like one of thouse personality tests just in game format with summoning which was a bit unique. Put in my collection on itchio, wanna share with a friend. Oh well time to do it out of character to get the rest of the dialogue and see the other creatures XD GG
Out of Chalk by coffe789 2024-05-03T15:12:54Z ♥ 2
Took me a while to figure out. A bit hard but that is a bit good in my opinion to get a bit of an challange. That's a pretty genius and uniqe puzzle game ya got there. Nice art and music too. I added it to my collection on itchio. Wanna come back to it and try out and explore more later. You should definitely make this a full fledge commercial game in my opinion after the jam. It got a lot of potential to be something bigger in my opinion. I would play it. GG C:
Soul Dungeon by megalukes 2024-05-03T14:30:35Z ♥ 1
It had a nice mood going and art was nice. I especially liked the bgm, that was the highlight for me. Unique idea for game mechanics and way to use the theme. Controls felt a bit weird though in the beginning. GG C:
Cards of Angels in the Manor of Demons by JustMars 2024-05-03T14:10:27Z ♥ 1
Great game, very unique, but I liked the music art and the vibe that it had going everything combined. Gameplay was easy enough and liked the thing going with the cards and map. I did not stand a chance either during wave 2. Would play again though. GG C:

๐ S.H.E.E.P - Sheep Hell Emissaries, Eradicate Purity ๐ by Shenoit 2024-05-03T13:49:14Z ♥ 2
One of the most fun games I played this jam. I liked some of the animations it had going once ya went trough the portal. It was really nice both art, music and vibe wise and everything blended well together. *Blergh* sheep throwing up sfx (or so it sounded like to me, lol)
Game controls was easy and I can see myself possibly continuing to play this a few times more at least the jam version, even if I tried like 3-4 times now, lol gotta try to get far or win at least once if there is an ending. I saved it on my itchio library to play more later! Would be cool if this was expanded more on outside the jam, it has potential as far as I can see. I would play it at least I can say even if it was just a mini game. Great work! C:
Aphrodite's Day Off by RileyKhin 2024-05-03T13:31:44Z ♥ 2
It would freeze sometimes in the browser version and I played it 3 times, but I think I got the most out of it, but duno if it had a way to restart the game other than reloading the page. Beautiful art, art indeed, nothing speaks art more than greek gods, IMAO. Found the writting and music very nice too and the whole vibe went together well. Agree with the comment above that it is probably one of the best games I have played this jam, too bad not as many people have tried yet. Great work! C:

The Acolyte's Errand by DubiousCubious 2024-05-03T13:02:22Z ♥ 1
Nice game, very polished both in art and music depeartment that goes well together vibe wise. I'm a bit messy with keyboard controls as I don't use often, so I struggled a bit, but what I saw was fun. Would be cool to see where this will go if it continues to be developed outside jam. Good job! C:
Blood Rite by LetsSnack 2024-05-03T12:47:17Z ♥ 4
Had a bit hard time with the controls, but fun regardless once I figured it out and got a bit comfy with them. The art is great and suprisingly polished, and it had a nice vibe going with the music along with that. Impressive how that was managed in such a short time. But agree with one of the comments that it would been nice with more of an objective, if it is continued outside of the jam. Good job! C:
