Such a cool interpretation of the theme and GREAT concept for a game! It took a bit of reasoning to understand what exactly I was doing, but once it clicked it was a lot of fun. One thing I noticed is that sometimes the hitbox for dragging the masks can be a little finnicky, leading to occasional frustration. But other than that, I think this is a great entry (esp. for novice!!!) with super cool aesthetics/art to boot. Great job!

Cool game with an interesting twist and fun dialogue! I liked being able to pick different dialogue options but kinda wished there was more real choice/multiple endings maybe. Of course, for a jam it's going to be hard to implement all of that! Good job!

Thank you so much for the kind words!!!

Super cute and fun game! All the mechanics are well thought out and lead to some interesting gameplay. Love the animations as well. My only note is that sometimes it can feel a little slow restarting a level when things go wrong. Still great job and use of the theme!

INSANELY well made for 3 days! The animations are really fluid and the movement/combat feels great. Also the leaderboard and autosaving are crazy levels of ambition for a jam but add so much. Loved this game!

Super cool game with a really fun core gameplay loop and GREAT music! The stealth mechanic actually felt cool and fun unlike most stealth mechanics I play which I feel more annoying than engaging. The art is nice and the game has a nice flash aesthetic. And an upgrade system is always appreciated!

My only notes are:
1. Gun shot sound is way too loud
2. Sometimes NPC movement can feel unpredictable/unfair. I think a small grace period after being seen where you can kill the NPC and get away with it would help these situations.

Overall though this was a great experience! Good job!

Super well polished for a jam game and I love the art style/aesthetics of the whole thing!! Super unique concept for a game too, I don't think I've ever played a detective type game in a jam before. Serious props!

hi

This is your first game?! Genuinely insanely well made esp. for a solo dev!!! The art/general aesthetics are adorable and this is probably the coolest interpretation of the theme I've seen. Only note is that like some other commenters I had a lot of lag on levels 1 and 7. Other than that, this might just be the perfect jam game. Keep it up!!

Really cool spin on classic Solitaire! The polish/gamefeel is super nice and I experienced basically zero jank., which is nice for a jam. I also loved the pixel art and thought it was super well done! Good job!

hey guys

this comic changed my life and made me smile and giggle and remember it gets better every day <3

Thank you so much for the feedback and for the jam!

I like this game! There is a lot of potential! Some of the beginning mechanics were unclear, and so I wasn't sure how to do certain things that were very important for the game. However, I liked the music, and the acid rain was a fun addition! It had me scrambling around for a leaf to shelter myself with.

Cool game! For your first game, this is really solid. AI art is always going to be contentious, so I'll try not to comment too much on that--for future projects, I think it's more interesting to just doodle stuff in MS paint, even if it ends up being a "worse" product, but I understand that on a time crunch it's helpful to not have to worry about that. The gameplay is simple but effective and each new level effectively adds onto it. The dialogue was also helpful in framing the game as more than just a series of levels. Congrats on your entry!

Amazing game, definitely one of my favorites so far! Takes a classic genre and puts a really unique and relevant twist on it, and the additions in each level feel actually interesting and well-developed on the core mechanic, which is really rare for a jam game. Also very well polished and nice looking, and the music is fun too! Overall really solid entry, props!

Really cool game! I'm a huge fan of these types of games and this one really scratched an itch, it has a surprisingly solid progression system for a jam. I wish it was a little easier for the scout to gather food but other than that I really enjoyed this game. Great job!

Wow, amazing entry! I would genuinely love to see an expanded version of this. Games like these live and die by the details, and you nail it with the particles, sound design, variations on tiles, sound of the approaching truck, etc etc. Art is beautiful and adds a lot to the atmosphere. Seriously great job!

Seriously amazing game, I can't believe how underrated it is!!! Visuals are buttery smooth and really engaging and polished, esp. for a jam. I love word games so the core gameplay def appealed to me and you do some really cool twists on it. So so glad that all the rules are optional, makes the game wayy less stressful. Sound design is great and especially the MUSIC is so hype and genuinely makes it feel like an epic journey. The unfolding story in the background is rlly cool too and I love how it's foreshadowed. I would genuinely love to see a longer, more in-depth version of this! Amazing work!!

Love the artstyle/sounds and overall aesthetic! Gameplay loop was simple but quite a lot of fun. Only note is that I wish it showed you how much each of the flowers cost before buying, and it took me a minute to notice how you place on the grass. Still, the game was really cool! Kudos!

Wayyy too addicting! I love games in this genre but this one stands out as an especially polished and well balanced one, never felt unfair or too easy or too difficult. I wish the upgrades came in a little faster towards the end but honestly, this is a very well balanced game and I can't rly complain. Music was sick and art is v cute too! Good job!!!

Very fun game and I LOVED the aesthetic (props to your mom)!!!!!! It was a little hard to understand what was happening with the watering bucket but it was a lot of fun once I got the hang of it. Music was also wonderful and added a lot to the theming. Love watering those bunnies!! Please keep up the great work, huge kudos for this!

Wow, this game is very cool and complicated in a way that's rare for a jam game! The systems are a bit difficult to fully grasp at first, but once everything clicks this game is a real treat! I love to see more ambitious projects like this, and I really hope you keep developing it! Looking forward to seeing how it evolves and good job!

ADORABLE!! It's like an anti-rage rage game, it's so cute! Great aesthetic + sound design, and the gameplay was simple but engaging. The 360 loop is amazing and also adds a lot of depth. Only issue is that sometimes my bee didn't jump properly from the flower, but other than that I have no complaints! Amazing!!!

Super cute game! Agree with the other commenter that the water was pretty difficult to align, but other than that everything was very chill and smooth! Rip to those snails tho D:

Really cute game! Core gameplay loop of growing a big plant is rlly cool, and I loved the aesthetic. If you ever plan on fleshing the game out, maybe a way to sprint or carry multiple things at once would go a long way? And a parallax background would be sick! Regardless, really cool game! Kudos!

This is seriously my favorite game so far! Sooo underrated! The concept is amazing (great use of theme), visuals are beautiful, gameplay is fun and actually surprisingly deep considering the simple controls, and sound/music is very chill and well implemented. The overall aesthetic and lighting/environment work is superb, ESPECIALLY for a jam game. Serious kudos!

Really fun game with a super addicting core gameplay loop! Gets insanely stressful insanely fast tho lol. Tutorial text was rlly funny ("You are a GOD!") and generally game has a really nice aesthetic with the pixel art. Fisherman animation went SO hard. Agree with the other commenter that a score counter would be great! Great stuff!!

I need this game taken away from me... genuinely so addicting lol! Amazing gameplay loop, graphics are super cute too. Great implementation of the theme and props on such a great game!

Wow, where to start? First of all, it should go without saying that this game is GORGEOUS! Definitely the prettiest I've seen so far in this jam. The gameplay is deceptively deep but never so overwhelming that it's frustrating. Plays with a familiar concept but in a super unique way that plays well into the theme and is also just really cute and fun. The sound was also well-implemented which is always a bonus in a jam game. I ended up getting 35 orders after a couple tries. For a chill-looking game, it's actually very stressful! lolol. My only minor critique is that I wish it was easier to tell what flower was in each order just by glancing, but the flavor text did add a lot of character. Seriously, great work guys! Keep it up!

Very unique take on the theme! Super charming game, loved the character sprite. It's a shame you couldn't get the web build working in time. Looking forward to your future stuff!

This is srsly amazing for a first game!!!! The animation was adorable and the platforming felt really solid. Even with relatively simple mechanics, it was a lot of fun just running and jumping around. I agree with the other commenter that something to prevent getting lost would be helpful, but still this is great! This game just makes me feel warm inside. Please keep up the great work!

Adorable!! Visuals were amazing, the art, lighting, visual effects all came together to make some really great environments. Minigames were a lot of fun and the platforming was well done as well! Super great game, and thank you guys for another amazing jam!

Really liked the dual keyboard/mouse controls, genuinely felt like I was using different parts of my brain at once! Good amount of challenge without feeling unfair, and the little knight is very cute. Good job!!

Very fun game!! Perfectly handles the easy to learn/hard to master mentality. Levels were well designed and didn't get too hard but weren't laughably easy either. Also art is so cute!! My only feedback is that sometimes it was difficult to get around on ceilings, but that's a difficult thing to handle in this type of game so it wasn't that big of a deal. Overall great job!

Very unique concept and one of the rare endless runners that actually feels innovative/an interesting spin on the genre. I like that it isn't required to cut every single blade of grass or anything, and in general the cutting mechanic felt quite smooth--its relatively short range, however, made it difficult to use to actually see obstacles, as by the time you cut the grass and process what's there, it's already too late. Still, very fun mechanic! The art and music are great too, and the controls felt solid if not a little too quick. Awesome job!

I have like 400 hours in dont starve lmaoo

Super cute and unique take on the theme! Surprisingly deep considering the seemingly basic mechanics. I love my treats!!!!!!

Very very unique and fun arcade game!!! Makes me wish I had a big joystick and a bag of quarters to go with it lol. The main gimmick of the eggs overgrowing is chaotic in the best way, the sounds/music do a lot to help that feeling too. It took me a while to realize you had to cash out to earn points, but even before that I had a lot of fun just trying to keep as many eggs in my basket as possible. Awesome job!
