Visually very pleasing experience! Fascinating and thematic way of implementing two windows

I was pulled in by the magical gnomes! I wish there was a hint for the combinations Otherwise I appreciate the simplicity and the atmosphere.
The gameplay was so smooth it felt great to play. The presentation was fun and worked with the arcade-y gameplay
This was very fun experience. Got me hyped up for more :D
One of my favorites. Interesting, good-looking and sounding experience with smooth and simple controls. Great job!
First game here to get me laugh aloud :D Amazing use of animation in intro and during gameplay!
Very atmospheric that kept me playing! One of the games I actually managed to finish which is satisfying.
I appreciate the simplicity. Creating monsters based on 2 elements was interesting and collecting more elements was a great loop!
Nostalgic puzzle game with great atmosphere. I didn't get very far in making a ritual, but I felt engaged.
Beautiful game. I felt big sense of responsibility in my role, which was intriguing.
Fun combination of mechanics that made up a very holesome experience :)
Amazing presentation! I had difficulty beating the second character, but I gave it more goes as I was curious to see more of them.
Nice atmospheric experience! I liked the control scheme a lot, but I found it hard to use unfortunately. Gathering power-ups was hyping me up :)
Ufff.. what a combination of annoying and satisfying. Just like going after actual flies. Well done!
@swerky @worldofmush @leozero @big-chalupa I realize that as I am very familiar with our own game, I also overlooked how to explain the gameplay effectively, oops! towner2.1 32.png Thank you for the feedbacks!
@joschino I'm glad you persisted! Now that I listen to it again, I agree about the music! I was getting desperate looking for music and I was happy to have found this towner icon 32.png
@life-creator For protecting the tree from all the candles, here is a fruity gift from the Sacred Tree. towner fruit.png
@pkenney Oh no! The downers are coming up with new strategies! towner2.1 32.png
Thank you for the feedback and improvement idea!
@thecritterscove Thank you for the appreciative comment! In the beginning of our design session we basically started with an idea of conventional battle with hitting and violence. We transformed that idea during the second day when townies' and downies' visual design emerged. I am happy you also found it valuable! towner icon 32.png
Surprisingly relatable higher beings and hints of humor was keeping me cozily engaged and reading carefully. I appreciate not having timer in the game.
Super cozy and fun simple gameplay :) I didn't really know what I was doing exactly with the golems, but I enjoyed my time anyway :)
The blue room got me stumped.. It's a fun puzzle game with good style.
I was so focused on the spell combinations that I didn't register the score in top center. I just assumed I was playing against time, so I ended up with 255 when I looked over and realized the number was actually going up. Fun game! I wish the combinations were closer to center so I wouldn't need to focus on the corner of the screen.
Beautiful consistent style! The juke possibility combined with using money as ammo is interesting choice all the time as I hope I am able to juke another time instead of spending money!
Amazingly beautiful and nostalgic look and genre. Really coherent game with all things fitting nicely together.
What a nostalgic vibe in this game! Responsive controls and nice and small levels to clear and to feel satisfied afterwards :)
Fun cute puzzler. Much more demanding than how it looks ^^'
Interesting control scheme! It was quite difficult, but also rewarding to learn by doing
I love the pacing and flow of the game. The hand is fun to control. Might steal this one..
I really like the controls and mechanisms that divide the attention and I love the concept of the game. It gets me curious for his next adventures :)
Really great coherent style and atmosphere!
The difficulty really ramps up! The concept is fun and all the monster designs are nice to look at. A cozy and pretty game.
Great consistent style. The animation is great for the tool/gun and it was fun to use. I'm impressed by the world design.
Gorgeous game with consistently cool style. I got curious for more!
Fun little game! I love that its a coherent complete game. Its elegant!
What a cute game! By holding collecting button down the hamster became a food hoover and I felt kinship :) Beautiful art and really nice consistent style.
@snowpriestess Hey! Congratulations! Today I came up with a new meta challenge to make the game more difficult:
**Golden Bot Challenge!** Build a full bot with only gold parts and win the game without selling it! emoji_gold_small.png
PRO TIP: The collected bots and parts stay until the next days ;-)
Nice nostalgic little game. I appreciate the multiple playstyles within this one game and all of them quite good quality!
Really nice little mini games. Bit too challenging for me! The look of the different fluffy monster parts are beautiful!
Nice platformer! The character is super well animated!
Really nice atmosphere and a consistent and fitting style. The character has nice speed to them which I love.
Lovely little easter egg hunt with a chase challenge. Beautiful as well.
What an awesome and creative idea! It's elegant and charming!
Simple and sweet!
What a piece of art! Really nostalgic vibe! I love color palette of the whole game and the consistent style including the music!
Beautiful game and really nice voices for the characters. I am curious for your next game :)
Awesome looking game and great idea! The gameplay left me wanting for more, but I can see potential in it :)
Wow, what an unexpected idea. Great innovation! I enjoyed playing the game with my drawing pad :)
Gorgeous looking game! The spatial puzzle mechanic tied to the character is clever and innovative. It got me puzzled quite quickly. Well done!
Really neat spatial fighting game. The stamina mechanic was interesting to balance with. Consistent style and quality all around, which is awesome!
Cool mechanic, it's satisfying when it flows, unfortunately I am not good at the game. I appreciate the innovation!
What a crazy game, it's wonderful. I am proud of my 1:34 time and 83 cleared results. Fun take on the theme and the sport as well. Great aesthetic too, hitting the nostalgia bone.
Awesome game fitting the theme. Also superb and consistent style and quality. Well done!
Really fun and intuitive game. I liked the limited, but interesting controls and the upgrades that offered little variation. Well done!
Really neat puzzle game. The puzzles aren't too complex and I rather do many of them back-to-back like here than try to solve bigger ones. The game feels polished. Well done!
@zamizmi for long while we played the game without any vehicle sounds, so when we implemented them I was full of glee. The fact they start when they are spawned and play out a long while and just get louder was one of my most joyous moments of creating the game :D They worked out better than I imagined they would
What an awesome game. The mood was pretty much perfection. The game loop was nice and the game was easy to learn by playing. Well done!
