The puns made me smile. The game was fun! I just wish I could shoot projectiles more often. Maybe some sort of upgrade system?

Great job! The background music was soothing while I experimented with different orb combinations. :)
I like the shooting/projectiles. I think it's neat. This would be interesting to see fleshed out into a completed project.
This was a fun game. "No time to make a winning scene, but you won!" made me smile. :)
I really enjoyed this game. It was an interesting concept and very fun! :)
This was a very fun game! I enjoyed the art, the audio, as well as the humor. Great game! Very enjoyable! :)
It was an enjoyable game to play. I enjoyed being able to fly around by holding double jump against a wall rather than using the level editor. Designing your own level to get over obstacles is fun though. It's a neat concept overall and it was fun.
Great idea and it was executed very well! I really enjoyed challenging myself to convert all of the enemies into followers. Great work! :)
I enjoyed the game! Challenging and funny. :)
This game is hilarious and the ending was definitely worth some trial and error to get there. Great work!
What a great game to play before Halloween! It's a fun game but I found that the endgame is a little boring as once I was a certain size I just flew in one direction and mashed the space key until I won.
This was a very interesting game. I really enjoyed the story! The special powers were a little clunky at times but overall this was a neat little game!
A really fun and creative game! I had a great time casting spells. :)
This was a very fun puzzle game! I enjoyed the puzzles and the music quite a bit! My only wish is that I could have walked faster. Otherwise, great job!
I really enjoyed the art style and the music. The animations were fantastic too! Personally, I didn't enjoy the combat. I think it felt clunky because it was difficult to hit enemies without also taking damage. Maybe the hitboxes are too small? I'm not sure. This was very fun to play though. Great work! :)
I really enjoyed the artwork and the overall concept. What a unique way to implement the theme! The game was a lot of fun to play as well. I will say that the dependency on RNG was the main drawback for me.
This is a very interesting game. The opening bit of plot was funny and I really liked the visuals. I did experience quite a bit of lag (I think it's because of the amount of grass, but I'm not sure) and I was also able to infinitely sprint. Overall this was a very creative approach and I enjoyed it. :)
This was a really fun game. Short and sweet and made me smile. :)
Awesome game! The art and music fit perfectly. The story and dialog pieces are charming and funny. Good work!
I loved the introduction and the art style. The minimalism works very well. The sound effects and blood splatters were also very nice. One thing that was a little annoying was that when linking a computer the zombugs would spawn before I was able to close the computer screen and properly see them to shoot. Otherwise, great work! :)
Great game! This was a lot of fun to play and definitely stressful when the waves seemed to never end. Great work!
Great job on your first game! It was fun trying to control the character as the speed increased but I wished it would be slower and more controlled in the beginning. It's difficult to eat more than 3 items and still win. That said the game is hilarious and definitely put a smile on my face. :)
This is a very fun game. I enjoyed farming and it was an interesting concept. :)
@kubeec @kenarf @abregado @gord10ahmet Thank you all for the feedback! This small idea is my first attempt at a game but I am definitely motivated to fix these issues and see if I can improve it.
@4quet Thank you for your feedback!
@zgragselus Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate the kind words. I'm currently working on an updated version of this game since I had so much fun making it. I'm looking closely at the different feedback provided to make corrections and I think I've improved the camera sensitivity quite a bit. I would have liked to add a world map with key locations highlighted but I didn't have enough time during the jam.
@hwaet Thank you for your feedback! I am in the process of updating the game and possibly transforming it into something bigger to learn more techniques. I was able to tweak the speed the camera updates and that seems to have resolved the jitters. I'm glad you enjoyed the game! :)
@frozen-spirit @plazmaz @aj-jones Thank you for your kind words! :)
@nikolaj Thank you for your feedback! I was debating adding a jump mechanic to the game but due to the time restrictions it was cut from the list of things to implement. I'm glad you enjoyed the music! :)
@TomekS Thank you for your kind words! I will keep your recommendation in mind for the update I'm working on! I was looking for a solution to having the player wait before searching/begging again, and I think this is a good idea. :)
@paulhocker Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I do agree that the game world is too large in its current state for what is within. I like your idea about chase units! I will try and implement that in the updated version. :)
@jnsoff I'm sorry you didn't get it! I definitely feel that this original build struggles with direction in the beginning.
@les-strateges I'm glad you enjoyed the minimap! I'm currently working on an updated build of the game and I've already worked on the camera issues. It was quite a large oversight on my part for the jam build, but I had a lot on my plate at the time. :)
@antti-haavikko First off, thank you for the lengthy feedback! I've been working on an updated version of the game and have already begun making corrections to most of your points here. Due to only being able to work on the game for 48 hours rather than 72 (I had to work Monday morning), I ran out of time to establish some sort of map. I wanted to design a nice "Press M for map" feature that could be intuitive with player location updating and landmarks as you mentioned. Due to time restrictions it didn't work out but it will definitely be included in the next build to help with orientation. The stamina bar was part of an unfinished mechanic I wanted to add which would have been chase scenes when you sometimes search through the trash. This was mostly scrapped due to time restrictions but I left the stamina bar in the jam build regardless. It's definitely pointless and tedious as it stands now. I wasn't sure how to handle terrain shaping at the time but have been looking into it more. Specifically, I imagined the town flat during the jam. The controls have been improved greatly in the build I'm working on. The camera jitters seem to be from a lack of smoothing the camera rotations on my part. Thank you again for such meaningful feedback. I'm glad you managed to somewhat enjoy the game in the end. :)
The introduction is nice as well as the music and art. I really enjoyed this game. I think it would be helpful if it was easier to distinguish between helpful and harmful candies visually.
