Hello everyone, thanks for playing, I'm aware the web version is a little bit buggy at the moment(tried to learn and experiment with the beta version of Godot 3), there are also executable files for desktop versions, do these work? Meanwhile I'll look after the web version.
All the direction in this game was amazing. Fun to play, great, fitting artstyle and music. And addictive roguelike mechanics. Absolutely amazing.
@very-bad-bunny-studio I made the art myself using Aseprite! Happy to hear you like the art!~
@jeenfizz @martin183 @hechi @soe @yulotomorrow @gm637official @ralfz @boaromayox @chairshot-games @phillip-scott @saikai @iguanana @ginxel @reispfannenfresser @pev @michael-wingfield @mopifish @david-york @deylinia @woahitsjeff
Thanks all for the compliments on the game/art!~ ๐ฅบ
If I get the chance I'll try to check out your games and rate them!
@caramelcode the main character should have a walking animation, it's a bit subdued due to the shrine maiden's personality and dress.
But glad you like the art!
Fun game, I like the interactions with the peasants and the associated risk by carrying them and the emergent gameplay they provide.
Really impressive to create all of the assets and music solo as well, and the music & sounds create an enigmatic experience. The art fits the mood, was easy to read and nicely done.
The only criticism I'd say and that might've been because I played single player is that I didn't feel a sense of progress. (Either by "resources" running out, the game becoming more difficult or reaching a certain score. But that might also have just been me not playing long enough.)
But that's a small part of an overall great game!
Very cute game, soothing music, fun gameplay and artstyle!
Weird and quirky experience. But hey, helping grannies is great.
Fun game, the attack buttons took me some time to figure out, but the attack variation made the gameplay fresh!
Fun & Hard game, was hard to tell where things were gonna land and to see the position of my character at the same time!
Very cute artstyle, and fun gameplay.
Soothing music, and the flipping mechanic was interesting to play around. I though it was a bit easy and repetitive after a while.
I like the artistic direction! I like the undertale like approach of choosing between violence and friendship.
I love the quirky and cute art style, the narrative introducted really helped to set the mood!
As someone who lost their dog a few years ago, the story definitely resonates with me. Loss is such a powerful emotion, capturing it in a good way is difficult.
The ending was a bit abrupt, and left me wanting more. But then again, the same could be said about losing your pet.
@div00 Thanks, due to the time constraints we only focused on the main story encounters. But I'm happy you like the systems, art and music! We're definitely continuing with our passion for games. ;-)
@diego-teran Thank you! Happy you like the art and music!
@satacat yeah, making a rpg was definitely quite a challenge considering the time restraints. I'm happy you liked the art and music!
@tanner-shelton Thanks, we worked quite hard on this and a huge props to @arzi for creating a story and rpg system during this short time.
@doot Thank you, I'm happy to hear you like the art! :) I'm impressed myself how many levels and story we were able to create during this weekend.
@jag Thank you! I think @arzi did a great job on the story. I love creating little shaders thingies like that to push the pixel art medium forward.
@skel3ton I'm happy you like this. The future of this project is uncertain at the moment, but who knows.
@n-n Glad you enjoyed playing our game!
@artofluba yes, one of our post jam fixes is tracking the character's position without factoring in the bouncing. :)
Very cute! Cat'nt go wrong with cats!
This is a really impressive game, amazing how much character art was done during the weekend and the pixel style is lovely!
Really cute game, love how it turned out! :D
I really love how magical, original and cute this game is. Very well done and the art style is lovely.
I love this game; it looks and plays very cute!
Nice game. It really makes you think about how time intervals are used in games.
Fun game, fits the theme really well, quite addicting and the loop catching you for a surprise with the random assortment of quirky items keeps the game fresh over a prolonged session!
Fun game and quite difficult. Only gripe is that the 10 second interval doesn't reset while saving, but other than that it's pretty great! Reminded me of Minit.
I won't tell ReLogic you used their background ;-) But good job for a first game.
Me when I started playing the game. Oh, cute fairies.
... The ending made me sad. :(
Thanks @kr0k! Happy to hear you enjoyed crafting the Happy Potion!
@ectucker1 you can use the bed in the home area to speed up to the next day! :)
Thanks for all the kind comments @richard-vollebregt, @jaj and @thiradil. :)
@sevenzik more seeds can be found a little further to the right! I'll make a note to the team that that part of the tutorial wasn't very clear yet, thanks for sharing. If the spot is occupied you can use the bed to skip to the next day to farm it.
@TildeCat Thank you! I agree it would be a nice improvement! Thanks for the kind words and feedback!
@xedradryade Thanks for the nice words! I agree that fairies can be fast and nimble too. :)
@haotian-chen Agreed, game jams are often a delicate balance between ambition and polish. Happy to hear you enjoyed it.
@toosalty0000 That's an absolute fair point, classic Zelda games were a huge inspiration for us going into the jam, so I'm happy you got these vibes. :)
Amazing graphics, and an open world collect-a-thon was a nice spin on the harvest theme. The controls were a bit irresponsive at times, but generally the game loop felt satisfying and would definitely work great with some more fine tuning.
Fun game, nice graphics and catchy music. The only part that was a bit confusing was using the colour red for both the objective markings (which could be a tint brighter) and the wrongly consumed farmland.
But overall a nice atmosphere and solid game overall.
Really pretty game, beautiful music, unfortunately I got stuck in a menu (building menu) but other than that it was a really solid and enjoyable experience.
Took me a bit to get the gist of the game. Game is great, but due to the contrast being relatively the same across all objects it was a bit hard to keep track of things at times. Still, a very pretty art style and a very pretty and polished game for just a weekend.
Cute game, feels like a nice callback to one of my favourite flashgames called Motherload back in the day, it's nice to see concepts like that revived.
This is amazing, one of the best games I've played so far. Solid take on the harvest theme and a very creative spin. Whole package feels solid. Amazing game.
Fun concept! Always nice when you add something new to an existing genre.
Neat game overall. Game was well executed and I didn't run into any bugs.
Love the large laser. :)
Fun platformer, I like the unique mechanic, the enemy didn't register hits properly at times, but overall pretty good.
@drainkid Thank you! :)
Thanks for all the kind words! As Eris said, right now it has an infinite game loop. For now our Itch build has a very barebones score system. On a separate post-jam build / release that goes further than some fixes, we could potentially add more gameplay effects to it, but that completely depends on how well the game is received.
Thanks @joao-marcello , I spend a lot of my final day building the map, happy to hear you like it! :)
Thanks for all the kind words @purpledartfrog, @meta-link, @fragment-games, @aderix, @abi-code16 and @aschab.
And definitely @aderix! We did have a passive item upgrade system / progression / win condition planned, which we unfortunately couldn't finish that during the jam, but who knows we might add it in a post-jam version!
Again thanks for all the kind words everyone!
@fuse-in-a-bowl yep, super crate box was a huge inspiration for this concept!
@bartalomew, @purpledartfrog it was a fun challenge to work with a limited palette like this, it really makes you think about every pixel even more than usual in pixel art!
@aviv-levy thanks for the compliments! Wand switching is a core aspect of our gameplay, but passive upgrades were definitely planned!
@kaptajnen agreed with the visual helper, we might improve that still a little bit more in a post-jam patch!
@rabbert in our Itch version, we do have a score system that takes harsh penalties upon taking damage beyond your health, but an actual lose condition is also still something we're considering for a potential post-jam version.
Thanks! :)
@purpledartfrog good luck! there's a lot of premade palettes, and you're free to use Hexpress4 for your own game jam if you want! https://lospec.com/palette-list/hexpress4
@yaroslav-kravtsov Thanks!
@goddoesplaydice I'll tell our musician! :)
@erlioniel thanks for stating that, there is a marker, but the variables might put it off screen a bit too much, we'll try to improve that in a post-jam fix! (Should be fixed now on our Itch build).
Thanks for the kind words @mallansandan!
Thank you @stefan-funke! I've fixed the enemy spawning while selecting wand bug and pushed it to our post-jam version.
Every wand has it's own health pool. For example, the saw wand has a lot of hp, and the ring has a bit less. Every delivery has it's own health which gets reset upon delivery. :)
Thank you @jhax, it was a lot of fun to combine the shader techniques (water shader + palette limitting shader) to create the water effects! :)
Thanks for all the kind comments everyone!
- Large chance we'll make a better compass UI for the post-jam content update. (Maybe even in the bugfix still, depending on our time.) - We're still looking into balancing the difficulty and fine tuning the scaling in our post-jam content update. Scaling might indeed be a bit slow now, and aside from spawn rate / delivery distance, there's not a lot of dynamics in both the player's side and the enemies side. We're definitely looking into another layer of choice when it comes to passive items for a potential future update. - A more readable font option could be a QOL change, I'll propose it to the team. - Managing visual information in a isometric, 4 color game is always a bit tricky. But there's certainly ways to improve the way things are rendered behind objects. I don't have any great ideas right now , but if something pops up I'll definitely look into it, dithering an entire sprite for example, if you're behind it.
Thank you so much for the kind words, @pedro-medeiros! The work you did with Celeste has been a huge inspiration for me to grow as a pixel artist!~
Thanks for all the kind words @francis, @alanxoc3 and @poshdan!
The art is absolutely stunning! Texting while driving is as hectic as it should be, but it feels very polished to play! Great job!
The UI felt really responsive, and the art & music were solid! Great experience overall!
I like the idea of the first level, managing a stack of physics objects and making the right turns, unfortunately, that aspect of the gameplay was gone from the following levels. The art was very nice!
Really cute witch themed game, I like that there's both walking and flying, which is a nice level of polish! Overall a nice game loop and nice to play!
Really pretty game, amazing amount of content, definitely one of the best games I've played so far this jam! Amazing job.
Cute & funny game! Great job!~
Quite a difficult game, but I like the permanent upgrades that stick around after losing. Mechanics are interesting and with the enemies dodging a lot it really makes you think about how to approach them without creating agro.
Really cute game!
It's nice to see another witch themed game for this jam in such a different direction from ours.
Really cute graphics and lovely gameplay! Well made.
I really love the palette choice here, I think the mood of this game was really impressive.
Such a funny twist on the summoning theme. Great job.
Thanks for the kind words @ruruie, the goat is summoned based on your own movement direction. (like a dash) :D
Edit: Goat direction has been improved in 1.0.1
Thank you so much for the kind words @james-7777! :D
Thank you all so much for all the kind responses everyone! ^-^
@rincs thanks for the mention, the goat should be fixed soon, my jam brain made the goat spawn from the right, even if there was some slight right-moving input. I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for the kind words all! ๐
Now... can someone become the GOAT and beat me?
Bean_and_Brew_18-04 00-42-33.png
It's been hard to reply to everyone individually, but I just want to say that our team really appreciate the kind words from all of you! ๐
@drgcandle I appreciate your kind words, it's easy for things like that to go under the radar. So I really appreciate the observation of this. Balance can make or break a game, after all. :)
Hey @ategon thanks for playing our game! :)
We're totally cool with you using footage from our game. ๐
@eveee-cx I know I should've left some times for other the players, but I'm having too much fun speedrunning the game...๐
@eveee-cx I'm sure people are still gonna beat us, it's just a nice goalpost for others to beat. ๐
Please try the windows version if the web version is too slow for your PC @dimesto52
Happy you enjoyed it @crow-seeds!
Thanks all! :D
@thyoi That's *super* cute, I'll share it with Aurora and Evee! I'm sure they love to see this cute little fanart!
Thanks for the kind words everyone! The support has been incredible! Good luck with the final ratings everyone!
This is an amazing and creative concept. Really well done, I really like it, it's in the top games I've played so far.
I *love* to see more fairy games. :D We need more of them. Well done, I really love the concept.
Clean art style, it took me a bit to grasp how it worked. It's an innovative spin on a genre and managing the various aspects of the game was a clever way innovate and integrate the summoning theme.
Fun concept, I'd have loved to see pawns turn into queens. But it's fun to have chess be played by itself.
Fun game, the ending was a bit confusing (I kept searching if it was the end or not) but that is to be expected of a 72h jam! Overall a very fun game and the movement mechanics felt fun to use.
Such a great entry. I love the art style and it's nice to see another spin on the summoning + platforming spin as well. The overall mood was really good an all things combined it made a really solid and complete entry!
Such a funny take on the summoning theme, and a really solid and complete entry overall, really well done. It's nice to have the Netherlands represented so well too!
Ohh, that's a nice looking game, it's a lot of fun to see a different approach to summon based platforming. We tried something similar with our game, so I have a little bit of a bias in thinking it's a cool idea. ;-)
The graphics are nice and cute too. Great job!
