Very cool game! I really like the style and artwork! Good job!! Sometimes the enemies would clip into each other and I'd get stuck in the air while jumping. Another thing, it wasn't clear that I could jump on the enemies. I only figured it out by mistake. But overall very fun and crispy game. I like it.
Greetings from the stream! I love it! I like the kick to the butt as well as the second arm he is holding. It just cracks me up!
I have really enjoyed this game! Good job!
Wow, a blender game! Very cool! I like the music! Sometimes I get very confused by the perspective and find myself missjudging the distances and running past the red thingies. Maybe it's because they don't have a shadow? Oh and those red rods need a timer or something? They just disapear without warning. :(
I really like the spooky vibes you spread out here (almost as spooky as my game :D )! Hope everyone has a great Spooktober!
Congratulations on making a game in such short time! I like the music and gameplay. At first I was a bit confused that the character controls with the arrow keys. But I find myself agreeing with everything @piscythe said. I think you could improve the game with a nice UI? I don't really know during the Boss fight when the fight would start over or how many balls I am allowed to touch? Sometimes it seems like I just absorb the hit or collision with the boss, other times the fight starts over. I was a bit confused by it all :( [E] Also, cool that you used java!! Was with with LibGDX?
I really like the abstract pixel effects during the "respawn". That's very well made. I wonder how you did it? But during the gameplay I felt really lost. I had no idea what to do and died a lot. It felt like a lot of trial and error. :(
I like the chaos you get after a few deaths. It reminds me of Meat Boy. But what is preventing me from just holding W and SPACE until I eventually win? I did this and won after 30 deaths without any effort and then the end screen just skipped because I spammed inputs. Also the SFX get really loud overlapping after 30 deaths lol
Wow, I like the game so much! The gameplay is so innovative and fun! I found myself getting impatient and reckless clicking the paths as they came and running into enemy tiles. I like that very much, as it parallels getting hotheadded and well... reckless! Two things: Do you setup tiles and paths at random? Because sometimes it felt like the needed tile is always on unreachable paths and danger tiles being unavoidable. Overall such a cool game!!
I am a bit confused. How do i dig? I land on the planet and got like 30 sec to figure out what to do? I like how everything feels and how the player and rocket just splat on the planet! There is a bug, where you press the help when the time runs out, you softlock the game.
It's a very atmospheric game! I like the mood and audio and the spritework is great too! I couldnt finish it, sadly. There are levels that feel very unpredictable and restarting after every death made it very frustrating. :(
A cool and fun game! I like the little sqash and stretch of the tiles! I like the idea and itch integration! Saw your announcement, and I'll totally play this on mobile!
The idea is fun! It was cool to play this. Two things to improve: When it said to press shift to dash, i assumed it was the right sift, since i used the arrow keys already (but that did not work). Second: The fadeout and fadein seemed a bit slow, i think you could try speeding up gameplay downtime. Overall great stuff and godspeed poncho-man!
This game is so wonderfull and adorable! I love the art and people! The best thing is when that one person turns into a flower, haha! But I am so bad at rythm games, and I did not know what to press at what times? Also when you spam F & J, it looks like she's hitting herself on the head, haha :D
The music and ambiance is very nice! It's a bit like FTL? Is it intended that the oxigen can get past 100%? Also it's onfusing that you can discover oxigen in discrete units (like energy) but the HUD sows it as percent?
Also: It seems like we had quite the same idea, haha! If you like, check out our interpretation on diving into a trench and discovering fish. What a crazy world. :D
Its a cute little rail shooter, with a nice theme. But sadly there are some troubles as far as I see. After reading these comments, I found out there is voice acting! Great! But I had to play this game on mute. Maybe add a "This game is best experienced with sound on" label in the menu? Also it seems that the cooldown if you miss is too large. So I just shot a shot at random and was still on cooldown when that skeleton appeared. Still on cooldown. Then I went by. And the game told me I was "too slow" with the attack still on cooldown. :(
That's very cool! Is it literally "Spear Fishing"? :D I like how you can spear to the fishing nets and zoom around the map's edges. Did you animate and model the player character yourselves?
It was a cool atmosphere and music. But I am quite confused of what to do and how to win. So I collected the wallet and tried jumping out of the window but got stuck on the fire exit?
Btw, the best feature is picking up objects and making them disappear inside the counter, haha :D
Your art is very... well. Stunning. I think that states it best! Very cool and best wishes!
This game is clearly a great looker! And great gameplay with a lot of humor. What else can one wish for?
A fun little game. The graphics are good, I really like the fire sprite. Tbh there is nothing much I can add that others haven't already said. I agree with the controls, especially when trying to control the character with one hand.
It's a cool idea and the jump feels really good! I really like the "damage" concept you got. Tumbling around rather than instant game over is a great idea and I feel like it has a lot potential and could be explored further.
But I must admit, the wind feels a bit weird. I was running towards a platform with wind active, but then it instantly stopped and I couldn't adjust for the change of movementspeed and ran right off the cliff haha :D
The graphics are well done. Yet, quite a complex game. I admit, it's a bit too confusing for me. It took me quite some time to figure out the game and even that I could scroll on the left side. Maybe improve the clarity and open up the game over time to help with the barrier of entry.
A fun little game. There are a lot of possibilites. I like the idea of decaying words that put me on a clock. But I feel like i am too slow and keep dropping my words :D Sometimes the boxes overlap and i cannot grab any of them
A fun game and lots of potential. I like the art and overall vibe of the graphics!
This is a fun little tactics game! I liked the audio, graphics and effects! Very cool! The particles were very nice and the artstyle and console helped keep everything clear. Gotta smash those mike (clone)s haha :D One improvement I'd suggest is keeping the warning longer visible. It got a bit confusing at times having to remember the unstable ground. But overall very cool! (ps: greetings from the stream haha)
Wow this is a very cool game with a lot of care & detail! I like it! Much appreciation for taking the time and even adding an options menu! The atmosphere and graphics were very cool and it felt fun to play. For me it got a bit too hectic with managing fire and oxygen meters, but maybe that's by design? :D
Wow this game is fun! My strat is more of a smorc :D If I can outspeed my enemies I will not need to watch my stamina or health. Well, got me only so far. But it's fun and defs got the "one more run" mentality in me. I love the ragdolls, atmosphere and sounds. Very well done! With some more polish, i could see this as a mobile game?? Sorry, cannot write any more, gotta play again.
Wow this game is great! I love deck building games and I love this one just as much. It's really fun to watch the battles play out. Balance wise, there is a lot said already in the comments, but for a gamejam game, it's really impressive and totally fun!
Man, now I wish I could see or re-use my decks again and see how they stack up against my friends. RIP my decks. :(
Balance wise, I feel it's hard to play from behind and off that Kraken tho. Got rekt by it so many times. :D And I would like to have an inidcator how many cards I have left to draft.
Lastly, I got a screenshot for you. You may not like it, but this is what peak Troll performance looks like:
troll.PNG
The controls are very good and i really like the aesthetic. There is a lot of work put into this game and I give you all a virtual pat on the back! The models and animations are very well done! I like the gameplay loop. Although during the upgrade screen, I would like to know the effects of the tools I get to choose from. Eg. getting a "water ballon", doesn't really tell me the gameplay implications until I pick it. But that's only a nitpick, great game! And here's a hot tip for y'all: Get the water gun, go to the fountain and spam E to refill and right click to water plants directly from the fountain!
There is so much to love about this game! So much polish and funny jokes, ideas and button texts. I laughed very much about the text box entries when reading or training! Awesome! Sadly my genetically engineered super humans failed in stopping the comet. But then, who can be mad at a comet looking like that? I can not.
This game is beyond awesome! Where can I start? The music? It's just so cool! Is it dynamically adapting to menu and gameplay states? The visuals? Totally awesome! Love the character design and enemy design. Maybe attach the gun to the player sprite for the final game? One thing, the smol aliens can get too close and be behind the gun. So they damage you and when you attack, you shoot right over them. And sometimes the cards appear too quickly, maybe some kind of animation or confirm button? But that's just a minor thing, the game is great as is!
Great game and great visuals. I tried to tell a story about a heroic cat, that everyone fell in love with. Well... at least I liked the story haha :D
The pixel art is very good and the idea is fun. But I am so bad at this game. So very bad :D Still, great idea and fun score attack game!
The aestetic was very cool! I like this idea of the flipped perspective! Great pixel art and music as well!
This was a fun game! It was cool to see your farm grow, except it was a bit slow in the beginning. Then it was pure chaos! It was funny to see them eat. The animation made me smile! Great job!
It's a solid base and I hope you achieve your dreams and create the game you want :)
A cool game. I liked the variety of weapons and loadouts. The wirefence was a bit overpowered since it slowed the bears down but could not be removed. Hence I could spam it every 10 seconds or so and made the whole level very easy. Still fun and cool mood.
A cool game with a nice idea. It was cool to read all the comments on "my game". They reflected the features which was a nice touch. :)
The best feature was hearing my team's instruments.
It was a fun game and cool graphics. Sometimes it was a bit confusing what was clickable and what items I had in my inventory. It was funny how the PC was thrown out.
It was a cool idea. We managed to glitch out of the world and got infinite increasing score haha :D The theme was greatly included and integrated into the gameplay. Good work overall, keep up the great work. It has a lot of potential. :) The only gripe I have is, that I wanted to play as a kitty the whole game and my model changed without my consent :(
Papita! <3
This was one twist after the next. Once i thought i get it, it turned out I did not. And then there was THE TEA!
The music was very cool. Great idea of a game! Cool! I gotta say, it was a bit confusing to differentiate between cleric and peasant. Maybe a more drastic change in color and silhouette would help? Lastly, the movement felt a bit too fast and too abrubt of sprinting and stopping. Maybe some momentum buildup and slowdown would improve that?
Lastly, a funny thing you can do is, stand next to a building and run into it and watch the camera get confused. :D
This was a cool idea and a great game! Kinda like snake mixed with old rogue likes (like "nethack"). This could be expanded into a real game. It's quite difficult, but I think I managed it. As some reported, this didn't load for me on FF, but ye olde Edge got me covered, haha. I like the sounds (twoooosh haha) and level transition effect! Cool stuff!
Great game! I loved the mood and atmosphere. I am a big fan of the words of encouragements! Also, I see you are a plant person as well? Gonna tell my succulents all about this cozy little game! Oh and how could I forget the cactus vibes?? Awesome!!
That aligning the shape minigame was fun, but quite a struggle for me when it comes to the star shape xD - Yet on one occasion it matched the shape from the beginning and I instantly won, lol
This is certainly impressive for a compo entry! Yet, I feel like, it is too easy and they mechanics can be exploited too easily, like keeping block and the hand between turns and even fights. Just stack armor and go for dmg upgrades and chip away the enemies. Beat the game first time using this strat :D
Talking about strat, I found no way to see my deck or the draw pile. Thus, I could not make a strategy and played cards on a whim, because there was no planning ahead.
Lastly, I gotta be honest. I don't see how this matches the theme. Like, okay, it's a card game with harvest themed art. But exchange the art with space ships, race cars or even emoji and there's no change.
A lot of potential in this game, keep it up!
This is such a cool game! I had a lot of fun playing it! Reminds me a lot of "Dorfromantik" but with a cool twist and great art style! This could easily be extended into a standalone game! So much potential! Maybe implement full mouse control ('r' to rotate could be placed on the RMB?) and it might even work fully on mobile? Keep it up, it's really cool!
It's kinda like a board game. I like the fighting that's like investing crewmates vs tries at the game. Cool idea
A very interesting game! It was very in depth and a lot of thought went into the design and plant mixing. Quite an interesting take. Also I loved the day & night cycle. Yet I have to agree, the start is kinda rough and stuff is quite expensive :(
Rapidly click on crows and make them go brrrrrr
The art is very cute! Well done! Sometimes the hitbox seems a bit punishing but overall it has some great ideas. You may want to look into "unity pixel perfect cameras" for this, without it, the game has some jittery pixels. Also why did you choose "z" for interactions, that's breaking my fingers on QWERTZ keyboards lol
Click the mouse as fast you can and make the crossbow go brrrrrrr
Wow the dread was harvesting me. This game deserves all the praise it shal ever get! This is the most memorable game so far!
Interesting take on the theme. Cool thing! Thanks for posting - This game is my introduction to "Twine". Gonna mess around with it soon, thanks! :D
The vibe is really cool and i really love the sound design! Keep it up! But I just realized.... I don't know anything about snooker, but making balls go plong is also fun. :D You nailed the game feel! Could be improved by adjusting when holding and dragging the mouse, but other than that, no complaints here!
I like the artstyle and music of this game! I's so cool to just vibe and drive around the city. But I gotta say, I am very confused by this game. I start at my home and can create items and carry them around and create more? But what am I supposed to do and how? Sorry, I did not understand so I just drove around chilling in my home that i filled with more and more mushrooms. :D This was fun, tho!
Funny idea and quirky aspect ratio on PC. It's fun and playable and I really love the style! I always appreciate a good game where you have to rescue kittens! I love how everything is clear and visible and I felt like I know what to do and how to do it! Many points for clarity! At times, the instant stop mechanic when letting go seems a bit over powered? I could just tap click my way through tight corners, but still it's a bit difficult and punishing with only one hit reset. I love how there are flames on the car, and tire tracks on the ground when going fast! I like going fast!
The mood is excellent! Supported by good music and style. Great game right there! I feel like the game could use a bit more tutorials (still, i played the post jam version), it's at first a bit confusing with two screens having stuff happening at the same time. Maybe some more indications of what affects what would be better? Still, had a lot of fun! Keep it up!!
Omg I was grinning from start to end for my playthrough! The characters! The poses! The art! The attitude! Love it! Cannot wait for my mates to come over so we can play coop!
Cool Idea and smart stuff in the gameplay. Great fun. There were some creative cards and mechanics in your game! I'd love to play a more polished and expanded version of this!! I see a lot of potential here!
Maybe it would have been better to show when i am threatened by the range / melee guys? I feel like i had a bit too little information to make an informed play. Also numbers in the health bars would be great.
I did not realize the pole arm hits myself tho, and i killed myself with it when attacking a nearby guy haha. :D
Funny game and cool idea of implementing the tutorial. The drone was fun to navigate. It's cool that buildings block attacks, but why not other enemies. Would have been a cool thing, if they could be eliminated by shooting each other accidentally. :D Fun game still! Keep it up!
Also, good thing the company is not a ripoff of amazon. Yea.
A really fun game with a neat concept! I liked the chaos and mayham happening thoughout the game! Sadly I could not deliver any eggs, but i managed to somehow pick up a bucket and a hammer and delivered those instead! Haha! What do you mean they are inedible? Does that mean I have to go out there and try again??? Gladly!!
@ategon Thank you for playing and taking the time and posting the timestmap!!
Cool idea and great atmosphere! I struggled a bit with the controls. Camera seems really stiff and could use some improvements. Pressing tab to show the mouse seems a bit over complicated. But I am sure your final game will be great! Keep it up!
This is a cool game with many cogs turning and affecting each other! Great idea! This works very good for mobile maybe? I feel like the job assignment for the crew could be changed a bit. Maybe a sort of table view or drag and drop? Keep it up, this is a cool game!
Cool game and great art and design. I feel like this could have been played on a GameBoy even. Cool style. I feel like it's a bit punishing that I cannot see the level and routes beforehand and have to guess during my first run. Maybe getting to select when my plane enters or something would help? But then the routes cannot be tweaked for a find-the-path-to-slip-through puzzle. I feel like the game is designed in a way to find the inteded path? But that path was so well hidden, i could not finish the game. I struggled the first time two planes were intruduced, even more the levels after that. Quite difficult game indeed.
Do I love stamps? Of course I do!! Also.... Did I ship my cup? Of course I did!! Haha, what a fun little game. The jingle and sounds were also very fun! Great game!!
That game is a real brain melter. Funny idea and cool execution. It's quite tough sometimes to find the right things to say. But that's only me having that issue. The news reader is an absolute pro. Great job, great game!
The game was fun and the idea solid! I have been replaying Wind Waker lately, and it kinda gives me these vibes. Gliding from platform to platform is fun to play! The idea of a birb giving me pizza is so funny to me! The water texture and effects were really great! Did you do them yourselves? I gotta admit, it's kinda punishing to have 3 lives? Maybe extend the amount or even make them infinite? Overall, fun times tho! (greetings from the stream!)
Fun game and cool vibe! The controls took a bit to get used to, but once you master them, it gets a lot of fun!
Saying that, I feel kinda funny. Not to plug, but we have a similar game with similar controls (did not work on that), but you too have used a set of booster rockets on the side to visualize thrusters, turning and speed. Just like our artist did. Looks like this is the way its done irl and you two are on the same vibe :D
The idea sounds fun, but do i run this?
Thanks for the update! Now we non apple people can play in the browser. Funny game and funny take on the theme. But this shows me how bad i am at rhythm games, haha :D Cool entry non the less!
This game was so much fun! Cute graphics, snappy controls and a great idea! I'll defenetly come back to play this one again! You could put this idea on steam!
Also, cool kids play only the coolest of words.
PXL_20240419_203256907.jpg
A cool runner with an interesting art style! That menu fits perfectly and controls feel good imo. The layer effect was done really well!
What a cute and pollished game! Great fun! I admit, it took me a while to figure out how the controls work, but once it snapped, it got into a great package and fun experience! Once you upgrade a bunch of times and reel a lot of fish in, it takes quite a while until you can cast the next line, so a HUMBLE MASTER ANGLER like myself has to watch their catch turn into gold stars quite a long time.
Also it would be nice to see a preview of where the hookshot would go, since it's a bit difficult to estimage with the length and segment count changing every cast.
But that's just me, suffering from success because of my overwhelming skill at the game.
I can just join in with the previous comments. It's a great premisse that I'd like to see explored more! The art style and dynamic music are very well done! I gotta admit it took me a while to understand how to play, but a great game nonetheless!
The art style, gameplay, presentation, music, mood, characters, menus, tutorial etc etc etc is just PERFECT! Great job! You can just release it as is and people would not know this is a jam game! Well done!
One thing regarding the graphics: I found I had trouble timing when to place the boulder. Not sure if it was just me, but maybe making the environment less round, and leaning more into the tile based aestetic would help? But not sure. Anyways, great game love it!
An interesting game. It's like a puzzle game on a timer. And you pay every "interaction" with time. This first seems a bit difficult when you don't know what to do and what to use with what. I found it a bit confusing that I could use the machete with the ladder and something seemed to happen. But it was the wrong choice, but I realized that later, as I found the machete before any planks. Not sure if a audio queue or disabling the wrong items for the wrong task would help. Also, can you softlock yourself, with loosing items to the flood lower down? The health mechanic adds a nice touch of leway to avoid early flood. Interesting experience and a solid entry.
This game is technically impressive. I assume it's not done in a "traditional" engine, rather some webpage to embed? The idea of an interactive LD page would be intriguing to see more of. An interesting take on the theme. A four hour game sure is a bold move in a jam.
A cool and atmosphere rich game! I like the idea of the light cone, but I could just swing my mouse around and kinda get the view of the level, haha :D But I painfully agree with previous posters, the movement was a bit too slow for my liking as well. I know it's within the "style" of the game, but it's a bit discouraging "investing" a long time walking down a path that doesn't progress the game.
I don't know what to add what other didn't say before! The game is really well done and pollished! Fun to play, tight controls, interesting mechanics and more and more interactions stacking on top of each other! Platforming is tight, puzzle rooms are tight, ideas are brilliant and sprites are easy to read and it includes a cat :D
The graphics are really cute and reminds me of an oldschool infinite jumper. The mood and atmosphere is great!
Yet, I must admit, the controls feel a bit clunky. A bit like on ice. Also when jumping on the platforms from the side, it seems there is a bit of a collision sometimes. It sometimes felt like I was getting stuck? Maybe it was just me tho.
A nice game with a great atmosphere! Is the music dynamic? It feels like there is a new instrument for every new floor. Great game! If I could wish for something, frankly it would be a skip button for the battles. They are a bit slow and as far as I know no RNG or other effects, so I knew the outcome of a battle by looking at the numbers and seeking how many turns they take and just watch it play out.
In general the game feels like every choice is trading resources, which I like. Feels a bit like an old school pyhsical table top game haha
Speaking of feelings: Tell me... Is there any positive outcome for events at all?? I felt like I lost resources with every event, but then again, I never chose to ignore because I wanted to see what you were cooking. My curiosity got the better of me. :(
Where do I even begin with this game? The graphics and visual style are AWESOME! The mood is AWESOME! The music is AWESOME! I really love the little "flash" the texts do when I finish a level! Great touch! Well polished game! It's a moving and introspective game that will stay with me long after the jam!
And you even went the extra mile for a leader board! wow, just amazing! And seeing the kind messages people write is really inspiring! Great game and great people out there!
A really cool game and idea! I love the voice lines, haha. Also the guy I am taking pictures of... he's kinda familiar.... :-) I also like the idea of "paying" with battery power for photos, this encourages me to make every shot count and not mindlessly take pictures until I get one that fits.
But then, I can focus the camera perfectly, and just spam LMB to get a lot of great pictures. Maybe if there were multiple people to photograph, this would prevent this? Anyways, great game, mood and style! This is my best result of LMB spam:

***
(sorry for the shameless plug, but we had the same idea. in our game we also have to adjust the focus of a camera, lol :D )
Cool game! The crab looks really good! Great work overall!
A fun game with an interesting mechanic! Great ideas and love the tough of the soldier ants style. Really cool, no notes. What a great ANT-ry to the jam! :D
A great and introspective game! Cool graphics and great atmosphere! I was intrigued with the promise and really liked the finale. Great game that will stay with me for a long time. Now reading the comments, I guess it really hit the spot for me. :)
The fishing mechanic is really well done and the art is soooooooooooo cute! Well done great game overall!
A wonderful game and the pollish is amazing! Great job overall and a fun game! Played this with my gf in turns and we had a ton of fun! We even removed the gnome :D
A fun game with a brilliant core ideas! Yet I feel like, it can be improved a bit. Here some scattered thoughts:
- platforming felt a little clunky and controls feel floaty (like on ice) at one point, then very snappy and the character would stop instantly - the "dynamic" climbing animation is really cool and very well done! - Did you take inspiration from spelunky level generation? Sure feels like it :D - I don't understand the dash. Sometimes it works well and I dash quite a distance, then it's weak af and doesn't move me at all. Is this intended as a falloff for double jumps? Aiming the dash is really difficult for me. :(
Level design: - The arrow when the drill is close to the arena fight is really confusing. It points in the direction of the drill, so I thought I can just go there and the level would loop around. Yet, it landed in a dead end and had to backtrack and platform through already cleared sections. - Why not allow the level to loop back into the drill shaft? As is, the level seems to be two large linear corridors, so why the arrow?
Defense arena: - I like the idea of prepping for the "final boss" of the level that is triggered on a forgiving timer! Great design! - When I first reached the boss I had two bullets left. At first I did not realize I had limited ammo. With two shots left, I could do nothing but watch the drill die. :( Maybe some pitty ammo pickups would help in the boss fight? Placed far off, so I have to sacrifice drill health for ammo while plattforming towards the pickups? - The second time I got to the boss, I had one enemy left, but it never spawned in so I got soft locked. - Is the arena walled off? I think I can just walk off infinitely in one direction
Sorry if this is a bit negative, but I do really like the game! I think there are some great design ideas that can be expanded upon for a full release :) Great job y'all!
What a cool liminal space to explore! Love the game! You crafted a great movement controller and it felt really tight to control. I really had to restrain myself trying to "style" through the levels. I had to watch my every step and choose platforms deliberately. Great game!
Beat it first try. :cool:
The graphics and art style are amazing! The UI seems a bit too cramped in the web build on my 1080p monitor. When I click on stuff I only get "cannot place this here" messages and they overlap with the UI and I cannot click on items in the lower menu. An interesting take on an idle game where you cannot be idle due to time pressure. Cool!
Congrats on finishing your first jam, thatβs a huge feat!
Looking forward to seeing your entries in the years to come! :D The vibe is of an oldschool retro game. I admit I was a bit confused by the controls first, aiming with the mouse and shooting with space seemed a bit "too" innovative ;) Also, when decending with CTRL and moving with W, I closed the browser tab once lol
I did not expect the boss at the end. I got spooked :O But cool game! :)
It's 2D mine craft! Cool game with cute graphics! I admit I didn't always know what the shop upgrades did, but it was fun nontheless to avoid all the worms! Great game!
Congratulations on completing your first jam! It's a huge feat! The art and atmosphere is really great! Love the details with the bubbles. Although I must admit, I did not understand why I can pin the tether. It does not seem to affect my movement or the gameplay?
Sorry to plug my own game, but it seems we kinda had the same idea when it comes to diving and the oxygen tether haha :D
Keep it up, looking forward to your next game!
Interesting gameplay and a great take on the theme! The mood and atmosphere is AMAZING! You really captured a great horror mood there! At first I thought "wow let's just drill down, what will happen??" but the mechanics kept stacking and adding new ideas with every level! Great job!
It's a really cute game with even more cute artwork and vibes! Really gets me into the autumn mood! Lovely! The end screen was also really cute! Great job, guys!
Regarding the gameplay, I know grandma likes it neat and tidy, but maybe some grace regarding the leaves would improve the game a bit? I had to go back some times to find a lost leaf while the bag sits at ~95%.
On the technical side, if I activate the leafblower and walk upwards I can outrun the air particles lol. Also there is a bit of z-fighting among the leafs, so some sprite sorting might help here :) Just some tips for the future. Great game, keep it going!
_(i did not participate in LD this year, so sadly no vote from me)_
What a lovely game! I can only repeat what others have already said in the comments! Great visuals, art, and music! The whole package! And yes, I too thought about celeste.
Some feathers were really cheeky and I love that you took the time to implement some of these behind secret, hidden walls! Overall great stuff!
Sometimes I felt like the character felt a bit unresponsive and floaty in the jumps. But overall no big deal. The guy talked about ziplining but I got confused. How do you zipline again? Pressing the interact key? But that cuts the wire, so I didn't have the courage to press the button. :(
That's a cool game with a lot of atmosphere and cool visuals! I really like the small touches like the flags waving in the wind! :)
But man that timer... That's really brutal tbh. I feel like I am waay too slow :(
Maybe instead of a punishing timer, you could turn things around? Give score based on speed and if you finish the flag quicker, you get bonus points or something? And then give a rating A through D at the end of the round based on how many points were scored? As it stands, I'm afraid I will never see the end of this game (but I am missing a lot as it seems, based on other people's screenshots). Sad.
The cozy star-gazing, star-mixing game starring funny quirky aliens! Just like Blargh, this game oozes personality and style! Great job!!
One thing: Maybe I had the settings quite low, but for me it was hard to hear the music first. And maybe have the music be more prominent when searching stars? For me I had quite a difficulty what stars could be scanned and what are "background" stars when fully zoomed out and looking for frequencies?
But overall great game and great fun! Love the vibe and the store vibes! Lovely 3D and 2D art!
Neat little game! It was quite fun searching for your pictures! I gotta say, it's quite hart to align them, even with the grace area that you give where the indicators turn green. But I was happy to have found your cache and here is my own:

But now I am asking myself... how did you code your game so I can share images for others to find... :thinking: Do you hide the player position and view angle in the image meta data?
A cool idea and an interesting concept! But I found myself just putting the attractor on the island and using the repulsor to micro manage and guide the ships myself. :D
A spooky story with very cool atmosphere! I gotta admit I needed to look up the solution once or twice, but overall a great mystery! Gives me cosmic horror vibes and shivers down my spine! Great job! I love the art and vibes! But maybe some more telegraphing of what to do and where to go next would improve the game a bit? Nevertheless a great story that I enjoyed till the end! :)
Ouf I am so bad at this game haha. But I had a lot of fun! I was halfway looking at my keyboard and the screen and got so overwhelmed but laughed all the way to the end, thinking about how noone can decypher my smoke signals hahahahaha. Like, the dude at the other end getting so confused and being like "no idea what this guy wants, let's just smile and wave". :rofl:
Here's my miserable best score for the world to see: ``` AQAAAAAAAAAEDQYGAAAAACAoAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIDAwMDg4ACAAIiEhACAQEAAAPz4PwAAAAwSEgwAHgAhKg43MDg4BwcHBwcHMDg4Pz8cHhwMNz8cDBIe ```
[E] Before I forget! Sharing codes is suuuuuuuuuuuuch a cool idea!!!! LOVE IT!!!
@lehmy I used the copy function at the end of the game. Perhaps I lost a character when trying to format it? Sorry, I cannot recall how that could have happened. :(
A cool idea! The atmosphere is really cool! The controls feel great and I was wondering what was through the next corner! Great stuff!
But man... Tbh I felt it was really hard to make the way back. I could not finish the game. Maybe you could allow the player to climb while carrying the ball? Or a preview where you throw it? More than once I missed my target and it fell all the way down and that made me feel bad :(
They say you have to end the game with the audience wanting more. And gues what.... I WANT MORE!! There is so much love and passion in the game! The animations... the mechanics! The whole idea of a sin wave as attack / defence! Please develop this idea more and release it as a whole game! I really want to see more of this and how it develops and explores the main mechanic! Great stuff overall!
Cool game and cool car physics! Love how it feels to drive! The camera is a bit too close for me, makes me feel really irky :D But in a good way! At first I did not know what to do, but a restart cleared things up. I got stuck on some terrain here and there, but overall had a spooky moody good time!
A wacky game with a lot of humor and wacky characters! The balancing feels great and whenever I felt like getting overwhelmed I got a life saving upgrade that swings the game back in my favor! Great idea and a lot of creative and funny upgrades!
Also: **I did not like cats getting hurt** :(
Lovely! What a funny idea and cool bird graphics! Game works for me and I can play. But it seems the UI is a bit off, i cannot read the bottom right text on my screen. But I had fun nonetheless!
A very cool and very interesting game! In our submission we also tried to emulate the "you-work-at-a-screen" view. But you defs beat us in execution! Great job on the interface and mood! The CRT filter and scan lines are really well made! Love it! Regrettably I also struggled with how to fight enemies. I thought I had it with fully stocked arsenals (e.g. 8/8) and a radar nearby. So I thought they'd shoot autonomously and I only had to pay for restocks. Then I found out how to shoot and was told I had no money. I took heavy damage and the downward spiral started. I had not enough funds to defend for long. :(
