How does the game fit the theme?
I wanted to push an absurd situation where you need to climb a mountain using only forks to get your lunch back, which is obviously dangerous and difficult!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Built off of Brackey's proto controller for player movement and reused some camera/shader stuff from other games. Used some models I had made before, but other than that everything from scratch

This was a good amount of fun and I loved the concept! The only thing that held me up was the size and hitbox of the forks. It definitely feels like that main stagey is to just spam click the forks in a line and walk/climb up your ramp to the top, which just feels like cheating to me tbh. Perhaps making the forks easier to stand on would help this? Nonetheless, this was a very fun game, well done!
Really liked this game and the art style is beautiful! I loved the running animation for the player. My only issue is that I didn't realise that I could aim my forks so I was was stumbling around trying to build ladders as I ran up walls which obviously wasn't working. Maybe you could move the controls onto the main menu instead of hiding it behind a button? Otherwise well done!
I really loved the visuals and its style, one of my favourite styles. The gameplay is funny, despite it is pretty empty, but simple and nice. Personally, I think this game has a future😝
Fantastic
Super fun game idea! Really enjoyed the overall vibe of the world as well. Great job!
Fantastic job! I love the absurdity that is climbing a mountain using only forks! It's such a goofy concept that's executed in such an amazing fashion! I wonder where the main character keeps all those forks...
Jokes aside, it took a little bit of figuring out and I kept falling a few times in a certain section of the mountain, but none of that felt like it was the game's fault, which is one of the highest honors I can give to a game. Once I got closer to the end, I eventually figured out that I could stack forks like a ramp and simply climb to the top that way. And the ending feels pretty worth it after the tension and constant fear of falling back to the bottom.
Aside from that, I enjoyed the visuals and the N64-inspired art style. The music choice was excellent too; it gives off this outdoorsy, calm vibe that reassures me that even if I did fall to the bottom of the mountain, there's no time limit, so I can always rethink my path and try again when I want.
Overall, this is one of the best game jam games I've played so far! I'd definitely consider revisiting this one if I'm looking for a good time or more content is made for it in the future. :)
Fun game idea! I quickly figured i could build a very long bridge straight to the top!
I also tried to go to the mountain far in the sea but seems like it is impossible :(
The clovers and trees are looking very good too!
ah yeah the faraway mountain has no collision unfortunately haha, maybe I should add a secret for adventurers. And thank you! Making environment stuff is rly cool I would like to keep improving o(￣▽￣)ｄ
holy carp this game was so fun!! honestly i was having such a difficult time at first but then my lil brother found out you could connect forks on other forks and it was a lot more achievable haha. i loved the retro vibe and the music was so cute!
great job :)
(i worked on A Day at WayWard Co. with BoCo)

lol I love this game... maybe used a auto clicker hahahhahha
