This game makes me feel like good old days... Really nice game!
The visual and the sounds are impressive! The fighting mechanic is a little clunky and feels unnatural, though it is a good start :) Well done!
Great game! It looks really good and the plot twists when you try to complete quests were fun! The only problem was that it was a bit hard to control the camera angle, maybe the camera should rotate by itself.
I love this game because it feels like playing old-school online games.
Thank you for taking the time to play.
Cute visuals and atmosphere. Overall nice experience and idea. Combat is a bit difficult. I climbed the mountains and fell off from the other side hehehe
I really enjoyed the nostalgic vibes and the difficulty twist was interesting ! The only downside was some quirky control issues, but they didn't take away from the overall fun.
Thank you for the feedback, if I were to expand on this in the future, do you have any pointers on the controls?
Since the mouse isn't really used when navigating through the world, simply capturing the mouse movements without asking to click would go a long way making gameplay go smoother :)
Apart from mobile games, it is unusual to use a press and release type of input on top of movement to rotate the camera
On the combat side, since the player needs to constantly moving, having abilities tied to E and R require the player to use his middle finger or index. You could bind it to C/V and spacebar for example to require instead a thumb movement and not hinder the fingers used to move :)
of course those are just my 2 cents, feel free to ignore them if they don't fit what you imagine for your game :)
Of course, I will explore and implement these options. I really appreciate you taking the time to lay this out, gives me a lot to think about.
My pleasure ! :)
This game reminded me of childhood games from around the 2000s, I got a little nostalgic, it's cute.
This is a cute experience, and I enjoyed the clever twists with the quests.
I found the controls a bit hard to figure out, especially because I could seemingly attack with Q/E without having a target selected. It might help to have a "training area" to get a handle on the controls before being thrown into a fight.
Thank you I appreciate you playing. If I expanded on this a training area would be a key addition for sure.
I think the combat was maybe a bit unusual (not used to clicking while moving), but the idea was very good and I think the game was pretty well put together (outside of a few bugs)
I think the mechanics where it bit buggy on my end. But I liked the graphics and the sound a lot.

Wow what an ambitious MMO like game to make in a week! Always impressed to see another 3D submission into a game jam. I did find some bugs being able to go outside the map and it was a bit confusing trying to find the toy bear, otherwise great job!
Loved the animation, I didn't play too long but I liked the visual. Good work
Wow, you implemented quite a lot for a jam!
I liked the cartoon graphics, the controls are also fluid and easy to grasp.
I couldn't find the girl's bear, though, so I got unfortunately stuck in the narrative.
But I could kill some forest creatures and it was fun 😄
Thank you for playing, I definitely should have hidden a few of them around town haha.
This game is very nice to look at and gives heavy mid 2000s mmo vibes. I just wish I knew where that woman's teddy bear is.
Thank you for playing, I wish I had time to add a tracker or something.
What a wonderful job!
I like the graphics! Also the text animations are super nice.
Thank you! Text Animator is a great asset!
I like the simplified people style very much. Unfortainly I have this helpful browser plugin on my right click and drag mouse button. This behaves bad with your game controls. I need to deactivate the pugin and try it again later. Maybe you consider this as many people have right click & drag browser hotkeys.
Thank you for the feedback, thats definitely something ill need to consider
