I wasn’t able to experience the full game unfortunately, but what I did play was fun, the atmosphere is really nice and chill and I liked the goblin movement animations. It was well put together in that regard. I didn’t realize I had to hit interact multiple times to get the full dialogue at first, so I wasn’t getting quests at first and wasn’t sure what to do. I would have liked some more obvious tells for that, or a stronger effect as mentioned before. Great work overall!

A nice, cozy game! The goblin running animation was adorable. I didn't expect change near the end, though it does fit the jam theme well. There could have been stronger effects when interacting with people and objects, to make it clear that I did something and so it'd feel more satisfying. The goblins could've had some repeated dialogue they say after they've said the important thing, instead of silence.

Small world Jamie, I had no clue you were taking part in this game jam haha!

Awesome splice of a game, I can tell a lot of effort was put into it, especially the aesthetics - very calming and beautiful. The world building was really nice too, I want to know if the goblins find a new home!

Small world indeed, funny you stumbled across my submission! Would've loved more time to finish the ending but alas, that's how game jams go. Thanks for playing!

I liked the goblin asset a lot, animations were nice too.

Well done! I had to restart onde after getting stuck in the trees, and then it crashed after destroying the fence, but up to that point, it was fun!

Hey! Thanks for playing and commenting. Unfortunate about getting stuck in the trees, I wish I'd been able to spend more time on blocking the boundaries and ensuring there was nowhere to get stuck.

The actual ending of the game is what happens after destroying the fence. I sadly didn't have enough time to get the ending to where I wanted it, which is why it's so abrupt. 

Thanks again and hope you enjoyed the jam!

Very quaint game with a nice story. The goblin animations and full sounds were fantastic and provided great immersion.

The goblins are very cute, well animated. When I picked up the sword with the goblin, the goblin was walking a little bit funny. Then I figured out you can use the mouse to control which way the goblin looks. 

Nice job!
