I like the idea of the game. I once tried to make a similar game (though not the same gameplay) where you play as an HR and talk to employees to persuade them accept the fate of being laid off and leave quietely. But it's hard to make it fun even if you add details to make player feel like they are really playing as this character. Anyway, good job on the game and the engine you created!
Very adorable game! Really like how you combine the idea of collecting and strategy to make the player think about what and how to collect and it makes the collecting much more fun. It might be helpful if theres is a guide to show how animal eat things work (like what area what area they’re able to reach to eat)
Quite fun to play! And I love the graphics. I agree with the comment that if the ball fall, it should reset to its original position before it falls, making the game smoother
The concept is cool! But it's a bit confusing at first how to play. It will be better to have a small example or tutorial
Love the music! The visuals are cool too. Unfortunately, the first level is a bit too difficult for me and I couldn't beat it.
Fun concept! I really like the little animation when the plants pop up.
Surprisingly addictive! Really like the idea and it’s executed quite well, especially the sound effects, which make Solitaire more exciting than ever. Maybe it will be better if the early upgrades can be more impactful, maybe giving players some upgrades withimpactful effects in first level to emphasize the progression.
Really love the art and the atmosphere! Great job! I tried to use flashlight to make the first enemy run away. It worked for the first time but it didn't work anymore. Is this by design or a possible bug?
The visuals are really adorable. I like the idea of collecting elements. The controls are a bit confusing, and maybe you could add some input instructions.
Fun concept and the writing is great. The game gets a bit repetitive once you figure out all correct choices and it will be better if there are speicial dialogues for each character. Great job!
Great job finishing the game in such a short time! The concept is fun, but the controls is a bit frustrating sometimes since the painting doesn’t always land where I place it. Snipaste_2025-10-21_00-40-15.pngSnipaste_2025-10-21_00-40-23.png
Tired to create a new lobby but it said "Failed to create match: Request cancelled."
Sure. I am happy to help you debug. Last time I played the web version, and I just tried the Windows version. I think my internet might had issues last time, but now it’s working fine and I can create room now. Does this screenshot mean I have successfully created a room, but no one else has joined yet? Snipaste_2025-10-12_01-25-47.png
Oh yes, sorry that I forgot to upload the screenshot. I have edited my previous post and added the screenshot. I managed played with two tabs just now, and the game idea is cool!
Really love the concept! It feels intuitive and elegantly executed. Also appreciate the clear and tutorial. It might be even better if there is some kind of hint(Unfortunately I am bad at this kind of puzzle games)
The idea is fun and the graphics are cool! The enemies could use a bit more variety though since right now their movement and attack patterns feel quite similar. Their health is also a bit too high and it takes quite a while to kill them, which can feel a bit frustrating, especially at the beginning
Great game! The concept is easy to understand and fun to play. The art is adorable. It might be helpful if add UI to show which color of clowns are needed
Really love the art! Especially the one you get when you collect the mushrooms you should avoid. It might be better to have a UI showing the accumulated time to make the game more intense. Still, a great game!
Great job! Really like the concept. It’s a bit tricky to shoot the enemies at first (maybe I’m just bad at FPS), but it gets more interesting once I start getting more parts to build my weapon.
I like the idea that you can't change the primary belt during the battle but can swap the secondary one, making player consider the backup equipments and have more motivation to collect. It might be better if coins gain from selling items are reduced,since I found I got too many coins from the beginning and get update too easily. And maybe you can make the equipment level more obvious in UI(like showing a number near its icon) so that player can tell the difference between two equipment of same type and icon
非常可爱的美术风格，很喜欢拖动棋子时候的晃动。玩法也挺有趣的，下棋的主题很契合，要是可以收集敌人的棋子就更好了。另外有时候感觉敌人的攻击范围不是很清晰呢，或许可以和我方的颜色做个区分？
Really fun idea! The gameplay is simple but addictive and i am surprised that the game manages to show the sphere so clearly even in 3D.
Good job making a 3D game in such short time! It might be better if there is a tutorial. And at the beginning every time I tried to move the camera was reset. Maybe that's a bug?
The atmosphere and art are great! Really love the moment the graphic turns from minimalist art to the detailed one. And it brings the feeling of collecting means getting more power. There's a question: how to attack the robots who try to punch you? I move to it and press Q but nothing happened. Or do I need to collect other parts first to attack them?
It's really amazing that you finished such a polished game in 3 days. Love the puzzles, writing and art, espeically the characters. Good job! And as someone already mentioned, the position of the UI is a bit awkward. It makes it hard to play in full-screen mode since it can't show all the texts. Maybe you can move it to a more centered place?
@raylond Thank you for playing my game! I was planning to have better turn based battle experiement(including the damage numbers you mentioned, and sfx and vfx of attacking and being attacked, more potion types), but got no time in the end. And also didnt have the chance to polish the turns limit system. Might work on these in the near future!
About the theme, the game is about playing as the collector instead of focusing on collecting itself. It is based on my own habit when playing RPG, collecting bunch of items but not willing to use. Don't know if this might be clearer for you to understand.
@moonblast thanks for playing the game! I am glad that you like the game concept. And I might polish the game in the future. The game feels slow now cause the turn base system is simple. Hope it might get better with quicker character reaction and better sfx&vfx
@temmyt thanks! It is indeed hard to make RPG in such short time and I had to give up some features :(
@fredzero Thanks! Really glad that you like the game. Yes, now all the reactions are handled by the notification so the pacing does need to be improved. Hope the pacing will be improved once I add more vfx &sfx effects and speed up a bit. Also there will be more potion combinations to bring make it more fun.
@zzzkvidi4 Thank you! Happy that you like the concept. I planned to have more potion types(freeze and burn) to bring more fun and strategy but didn't have enough time. I will add them in the future polished version. And there are indeed bugs about the notifications. Sometimes there are too many reactions and they keep showing even the scene is reloaded or switched. I will fix this in the future update.
@truedat Thanks! I’ve thought about that too, but I’m still new to pixel art and wasn’t sure if I could finish the character in time.
@anima-animus049 谢谢！很开心你能喜欢
@xparker Haha, I think it will be fun to add reactions of the companions and the boss when they receive potions they don’t expect. Actually, you can even throw attack and heal potions together and the companion will ask "What are you doing?"
@t-c I am glad you like the idea! And actually you are right, there was supposed to be a reward for keeping potions. Maybe some extra potions, collectible items or even a special ending. I only got time to show what potions player have used in the review section but it seems I failed to express the idea. I will fix this in the polished version.
@iakovboy Thank you!
@fritzendugan I am glad it made you laugh! Indeed it can be a bit frusrating when you have to click it everytime. I think it will be much better if I made the confirm panels for the each rarity only appear once per each battle so that it keeps the fun but doesn't make player tired. As for the third enemy, yes, it is a tough one and it needs you to figure out its pattern. Really appreaciate that you played through first few levels.
@gonulgaye thanks!
@yuriscat 谢谢！拖动这个想法感觉挺有趣的，后续制作会考虑尝试，如果可以将药剂做得更加有辨识度再换上拖动的方式，感觉会沉浸感更强。
@rogaro Thank you! Yes, the current pacing is not satisfying. I hope with improvements of presntation and speed of the battle in the polished version, it will feel better.
@letmebeme Glad you liked the intro. I will adjust the wording and add a tutorial in the future version to make things clearer.
@wallted Thank you for playing and beating the game! I am really glad you enjoyed the dialogues and gameplay.
@schu Thank you! It’s my first serious game jam and I misjudged the workload:( Hopefully I will do better next time
@okely Thanks! Glad that you like the concept.
@fritzendugan Thank you for finishing the game! Yes, there's a known bug where sometimes enemy/companion doesn't change back to their original color after switching color. The game wrongly sets the new color as the original one. There is another ending if you beat the boss without using Panacea, but that is quite challenging with current design.
@dazylude Haha, thank you! Hope your friend enjoys the game too and maybe he will actually start using consumables.
@bluedandelion Thank you for beating the game! Yes, it will be much better to have a hud showing turns remaining to make things clearer. The current simple text is a compromise since I didn't have enough time to add one during the jam.
@5757 Thank you! I will add a proper tutorial in the future version to help players understand the game more easily
@le-don Thank you! Yes, a combat log would help players keep track of what happened. I will consider this in the polished version. And you are right that there are enemies who can both heal and attack in the same turn. It's kind of like in JRPG where the enemy has high speed and they can act twice while the player can only act once, which brings challenge
@6knowledge Thanks! Atually it's possible to apply the shield potion to enemies, though the game currently is kind of lack of reaction so it's not very obvious. I think it will be fun if enemies talk about it when you do that and I will add this to the polished version.
@dianavi Thanks!
@patuwu Thank you!
@adam-konig Thanks! For now the potion inventory is pre-designed for each level instead of being carried over between levels, so that it feels more like a puzzle you need to solve.
@diralf Thank you! Your art is really cute! Yes, it would look better if I used the animations from the asset pack to show what happened. I will add this to the polished version.
@xpoho Thanks for finishing the game!
@ginger-kyoko Thanks!I am glad you like the game. Your game is interesting too!
@akuta-zehy 谢谢！你提的这个游戏之前没听说过，刚看了下，药水组合这个玩法确实有点类似，不过那个似乎是他们的核心玩法，我这个是药水组合是战斗中的一环（虽然很不幸因为时间问题这个玩法很多问题，比如你提到的部分），我这个还是比较侧重于结果上来说用更少稀有药水。
@dengyixa 谢谢！很高兴你喜欢
@ophiene thanks!
Love the art style! I am a bit confused at how the system works. Most of time I focus on which activity will get improved next day and choose that. I am not sure if this is the right way to win/reach the ending, but it feels like this design makes the player less motivated to care about other things Snipaste_2025-10-22_23-21-57.png
Snipaste_2025-10-12_18-38-26 (1).png I picked up the box near the door and tried to put it down. I pressed&held E and tried other buttons, nothing happened. Is this a bug or I missed something?
Love the concept of collecting pieces to gain different elements of the game. The user experience of the newest version is much better than the original one since it makes it easier for player to understand what they are playing as.
Love your way of showing the idea of collecting connections through such cool UI. The game concept is executed neatly while the gameplay is easy to understand and has the right tension. The portraits and background are great. Maybe the game can slow down a bit(like 0.5x speed) when player click the characters to change the game pacing. That way player can attack and consider which one to connect next at the same time instead of pausing the game to think
The gameplay is neat and I love the presentation and effects, especiallythe sound effect when you finish one set of arrows. It might bring more fun if there are other types of arrows(maybe some arrows that required to be holding for longer time? ) to change the pacing. Anyway, it's still a great game.
Love the cover image and the vibe! Is there only one eneymy now? The game restarted after I defeated it
Very cute penguin haha! Made it to level 3. The gameplay is tricky but fun overall. well done. btw, in level 2 there are walls that you can sometimes pass through if you drag really far before releasing, but you can’t if the drag is short and close. Is that a feature or a bug?Snipaste_2025-10-09_01-12-36.png
Yes I played the jam verion. I will try post-jam version later to see if I have that again.
Really cool concept! Enjoy collecting the achievements
Great game! I laughed when I read the setting and the idea was executed quite well. It gets a bit challenging when the second type of enemy shows up and immediately grabs a lot of money. I also saw there is comment mentioning the background music. Thd volume of background music is a bit low and I almost missed it at first.
I checked the web version and the music volume is more reasonable now!
Like the vibe and mechanics. It’s cool that you can launch new ones to cause collisions on purpose and save the ones you want. In the early stage the game feels a bit hard to tell if I’m doing okay and maybe some clearer feedback or a small progress hint would help.
文案很有趣，听到legod笑死。不过在倒计时开始之后有点无事可做？只能把城市里的东西卷走吗，还是有其他的？
Love the idea and vibe! The game feels polished and shoutings are quite funny. It is a bit confusing at first but it gets quite interesting once you figure out how to play. Maybe it will be better to add a short tutorial to help the player to understand?(I didn't realize I can control the light until second run. At first I thought the blood type would be shown only when I am getting close to people.)
Lovely game! The gameplay feels solid. I really like the idea of dodging and collecting, and how going farther for items feels like a bit of a gamble. The dots above the character’s head showing collected energy are a bit small and hard to notice at first though. Good job overall
The gameplay is easy to understand and fun to play! Great job. It kinds of similar to building Legos, when there are so many similar colors that you start to lose your sense of distinguishing between colors(It happened to me when I built The Starry Night Lego set). And it's also interesting to guess what this painting is before you see it!
Quite a fun concept! I like how you considered all kinds of places to clean in the room. Sometimes it's a bit unclear why the dirt on the desk isn't cleaned since the fianl dirt is not obvious.
The concept is interesting! Maybe you can add a restart button within the level so players can restart easily when they are losing.
Really cute game And surprisingly polished! It seems to require some luck to pass some levels so it might be better to have a restart button.
Snipaste_2025-10-14_01-06-06.png Really cool game! I love the art and the strategywhere you need to balance the equipmentand weight. Also like the design that you can run away during the battle which gives quite flexibility
Snipaste_2025-10-08_18-38-55.png Love the art style, and the writing is fun! The gameplay feels a bit like Reigns that you have to balance reputation and revenue, and the idea is interesting. But I’m not sure how to tell if people are lying. Did I miss something?
Great job! I love the art and the idea of guessing the ingredients from the shape of the food.
The idea of collecting keys to get basic game functions is really cool! And the puzzles are fun. Great job
I like the music and the retro atmosphere. It might be better if there were more information about the items you pick up.
Snipaste_2025-10-22_00-18-07.png 挺喜欢美术的！核心玩法比较简洁不过也挺有趣的，在巢穴的部分建议离开的按钮文本可以改为前往探索或者类似意思，一开始这个离开意思不太明确
The art is really cute and love the game concept. It might be better if the game adds a alert message to remind the player to go back to the room to sumbit the ideas they collect.
The art style is great and I love the atmosphere of the dungeon. But the fear seem rises really fast and I die before I can collect much. Or maybe I just got bad luck?
Snipaste_2025-10-09_01-51-36.png Gamejam做AVG太强了，立绘很好看。不过有点不清楚到这里了要怎么继续，只找到一个小路可以进去，但没有进一步互动的地方
了解了，当时没想到空中的建筑也能互动
The game concept is interesting and art style is really cute! It might be better if there's some hints showing where players will be attacked(like the spouting water in the first level) to make the game feels fairer. Also, the game seems to freeze after retrying the level.
很有创意的设计，玩起来很有趣。不过因为游戏机制意味着玩家不太能知道自己跳下去的瞬间会是什么（当然玩家也可以试探性向前去让地形显现出来），而且不像一般的platformer玩家会觉得跳不到是自己的问题，这个游戏里因为可视范围受限玩家会更倾向于怪游戏，所以感觉或许可以稍微加多些重生点，让玩家跌落的惩罚降低
I like the concept and the atmosphere. It took me a while to figure out how to get past the first wall, but after that it became more interesting. Good job!
Google Drive link shows needing to request for permisson and the Dropbox link shows 400. Maybe you can adjust the Google link setting?
Really love the gamplay and the concept! The collecting and choosing where to put the pieces is satisfying and the learning curve is reasonable. Would love to see a full version with more types of pieces.
Really great retro games! Love the vibe and the collecting, especially collecting the ducks. Though like others mentioned, the final battle was a bit confusing since I didn't understand why I lost after my turn ended. Still, great job!
Really interesting concept and gameplay is solid. It might be better if the camera rotates a bit slower to make the control feels better
Great game! The puzzles are really interesting. It seems I can't access level 5. Did I miss something?
Congratulations on submitting your first jam game! Unfortunately, the controls don’t seem to work on my laptop. I tried clicking but nothing happened.
Love the art style and the concept. The controls feel a bit tricky at first, but they get better once I am used to them. I think it would be better if the item the player is holding dropped automatically when picking up a new one. I picked up everything before talking to the bartender and then found I had nothing to offer. Or did I miss anything?
