Very cute little Pico 8 game! Really appreciate how fast paced it is! Also that art style is just plain cute :) Overall a really nice little game to pick up!
I love the unsettling environment and mood in the game! Really nice pixel art and the feel of going rather speedy is conveyed really well in here! Great job on this one! :)
I'm in love with those animations and effects, it was so worth polishing those water and fire effects! Also really love the theme of going deeper into the trouble zone.
I felt like the fire was spreading rather quickly which made is almost impossible to go back in case you missed something but on the other hand that's very realistic :D it wasn't really an issue tho imo, but more like something that came to mind :)
Overall an absolutely stunning submission, congrats!!
This is such a cool but incredibly difficult game :D its so satisfying when you get the hang of it and start to move smoothly forward!
Love the simple art style also, it fits the game very well!
I really like that take on the "deeper and deeper" topic! The writing was so great, loved all the bits of story I found so far! Also love that art style, it just works so well! Very beautiful game, congrats on such a great entry :)
What a beautiful idea! I got some serious thatgamecompany vibes from it :D
The art style is very well executed and the particle effects are spot on! Absolutely beautiful work! Congrats!
I love the theme and the jumb/pound just feels so satisfying! The visuals are really on spot as well.
I felt a little like dropping was punished a bit too harshly at times but other than that it was a very great experience! Congrats on the great submit! :)
WOW what a stunning game, the art style is so beautiful and fits the mood perfectly! the puzzles are really well designed and it took me a while to solve the last one but it is so satisfying when you get the right answer :D
The music and sound design is again absolutely beautiful, love the final song!
The only improvement I can think of is increasing the speed of the little guy and maybe make the skulls a bit more visible (I know that it can be very hard to do tho :D).
Super great entry overall!
ooooh I love the art style and the theme! its so creative :D
also the music is an absolute banger! Such a great little game overall!
Absolutely stunning game! Love the overall mood and concept and restarting doesn't feel punishing at all! The art style is very unique, haven't seen anything similar so far! :D
My only problem is maybe the character model being a bit too big which blocks quite a bit of the screen. On the other hand that added quite a lot to the uneasy feel and panic that the character is most likely feeling while dropping down that pit :D
Overall a very unique game, congrats on such a great entry!
absolutely amazing what you have accomplished in only 48h, that is some goals right there :D
But insanely cute game with amazing graphics and the menu song slaps hard! can't say more but that the game is a solid 5/5!
Congrats on such an amazing entry :D
I love the art style so much! really gives off that clay feel to it and the DOF works really well with it together! :D
The character is just adorable and fits really well to the overworld!
I felt like he could use a tiny bit of more speed, due to the size of the maps.
Very charming and great entry! :)
You did such a great job with the 2D art and the music progression, what a beautiful game! Congrats on this beautiful and incredible entry :)
I like the artwork a lot! really good job on the sprites and animations! I also really like how fast paced it feels and the idea of the crystals being your health indicator :D
It does feel a little bit empty still though and could probably use either some more items around the rooms or some more gameplay. A really nice and good entry ! :)
What a moody and tense game, really well done! The art style of the background and the animals are just so perfect together and I love the progression in the background and music. The dialog really got me wondering on what is happening and the end really delivered.
Heh first :D I really love the overall mood of the game and the art style is very nice! The particles look really good and you put a lot of effort into the statue and skeleton models! Really liked that you tried to guide the player through the level by solving the lever puzzle!
Also really love the voice acting, it adds a lot to the game!
One thing that came to mind is that the hammer animation could possibly use a bit of impact to it by making the swing a bit wider and not as even and the movement speed felt a tiny bit off.
Overall a really great entry! :D
Thank you so much for all the positive feedback! Makes all that crunch in the past few days worth it :')
Once more I have to say thank you for all the kind and encouraging words! All the feedback has given us some new ideas and we are planning to continue this project throughout the summer and hope to release a more polished version with more mechanics, levels and improved movement :)
All this positive feedback has been super motivating! It has been incredible to read all your amazing comments so far, thank you all so much for playing :')
I really love the art in this one, absolutely great job! I really liked the core mechanics of balancing out the ingredients, but I think I ran into the same bug as many others here and the game unfortunately stopped working in the second half :( Overall a very beautiful submission tho, great job! :)
I really loved world of goo and this game really did a great job to replicate that feel! Very fun submission! :)
Oh wow what a fun little gem, I really loved the dog animation and humor in this one! What a great game, congrats! :D
Ohhh nice really love the mood and how the city is scrolling in the background! Also very great job on the art style :D The controls are nicely responsive, which really helps with the tricky situations. All in all a very beautiful and unique submission, great job!
Very interesting take on the topic! The mechanics seemed rather confusing at the beginning and I feel like my Upgrade button was broken, or then I didn't quite understand the mechanics. But overall a really solid and amazing performance for such a short developing time! Great submission :D
What a cute little game, really love how the color of the cat changes every time I had to restart and the little spawn effect it has :D Congrats on the cute submission :)
Oh nice a fellow penguin game :D I really loved the puzzle aspects of the game and the graphics, very beautifully crafted!
The starting jump mechanics took a short while to get used to, but I figured it rather quickly out so that's not too big of a problem. Overall a very cute and atmospheric game, congrats on the great submission! :)
really interesting and moving take on the topic! Really loved all the art style and storytelling, congrats to the team for such a great experience :)
Oh wow what a cute game! Really love the graphics and audio, they fit so well together! also really like the different character designs, I think the little goblin is my favorite customer :D The balance of the game seems very fair and it is a blast to play, what a beautiful submission! :)
Absolutely beautiful game and the graphics are on point! The variety of monsters is insane given the short time the game was made in. Also really enjoyed the general mood, overall everything is fitting extremely well together :D
Unfortunately there was quite some bugs while summoning that the cards tend to fly off the right side of the screen which automatically results in a fail. Also the web build tends to freeze Chrome completely when trying to quit the game.
Other than that really amazing submission, congrats to the team for the great work!
This game is so much fun with friends, so simple yet to effective :D really love your entry in this jam!
Oh what a solid entry in the theme! I really love the graphics and mechanics, even though it took me a short while to realize how exactly they work but that is not an issue imo :D Congratz to such a fun game!
