The Great Collector by Nicso 2025-10-06T09:23:29Z
Big fan of octopi! Love the music and graphics. I think it would be cool if it was possible to arrange the items with a different set of keys so you can do it simultaneously.

Big fan of octopi! Love the music and graphics. I think it would be cool if it was possible to arrange the items with a different set of keys so you can do it simultaneously.
Reminded me of the old classic Motherlode. Loved playing it!
Love the rolling animation in the air! Very fun. I think maybe upgrades could be a little less expensive to move ahead faster.
Big fan of the retro aesthetics! Loved it.
Interesting concept with the sounds for sure! I think it worked out quite well. Otherwise nice and simple game. Love the fish facts!
@olddog Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it. I think there could be a lot added mechanics wise, like more movement types or ways to interact with the crows. Not really sure how to make it longer. Maybe an infinite mode? Or a round based system with upgrades you can buy (with nuts)?
@cogcomp Thanks! Yes, looking forward to halloween indeed. Currently there is no loose condition. I was considering maybe having something like a timer that runs out. Or a way for the crows to attack an hurt the player. Would appreciate any suggestions!
@nash I wish I had had time to add a bit of an idle animation to the crows, but I do like that they also help in this way! @ajile3105 It's supposed to summon itself protection for the winter. I wanted to add some sort of dome effect that surrounds the tree the more nuts you had. I originally thought that the pentagram lines could become impassible to the crows when charged but thought that would make the game too easy.
@baluj Thanks! I would have liked a way to hit them by dashing. Very sensible suggestion. For now only the 'magic' made it in. You can use that to deterr them for a bit.
Agree on the music! Very good and really brings the feel of the game together. I also like the funny text pop ups a lot! Feels very cohesive.
I'm not much for puzzle games but this is very nice! Art is very cohesive, the hand animation is great. Relaxing and frustrating at the same time.
Interesting premisse, the coal is very talkative. Like the pixel-3D artstyle a lot.
Liked it! Nice progression with many surprises.
Pretty fun and satisfying. At some point the limiting factor becomes how many stones are exposed and your workers start to idle. I like the sound of the workers chipping away.
Wow! So many upgrades. The game loop is very addictive. I think this would play great with a controller. (The CRT effect is a bit strong for my taste, but otherwise great graphics!) Feels very finished overall. Don't think I would be able to tell this is a jam game.
Actually prett nice mechanics. I wish it was a bit easier to interact with the cards. But love the variety of all the different frogs! Very cool.
Really cool and nostalgic idea! Graphics and sound turned out great. Couldn't figure out how to rotate though.
Love the detail on the economoy simulation. It's easy to collect taxes when everyone goes to the same place.
@atsh Didn't neccessarily mean it as a criticism. It adds a bit of a tactical element to wait in the right spot. Maybe something to expand upon.
Also not really sure what the different things do unfortunately. Otherwise fun.
Cool game! Graphics turned out very nice, I only wish you could move a bit faster.
Also like the graphics a lot. Especially the combination of the more detailed items with the sketchy ui really has something to it. Even though there were no real explanations I found it mostly easy to figure out what to do next.
Actually very nice idea! Love the graphics for the enemies and the spooky music. I did find the health bars very hard to see and didn't even realize they were there. Also the game eventually got stuck in a loop that gave me infinite shield. But it was a lot of fun until then! Great entry!
This is so cool! Love all the bottle openers.
