You are just picking olives, there is no danger...

Very relaxing game. I loved the music. It sort of gives me Interstellar vibes. The gameplay was utterly relaxing.
Loved the controls, the enemy wolf was cute. Although it wasn't really difficult. I also loved Grandpa's arms and how he is just chilling in the car when is grandchild is running around being chased by a wolf 😂
I will give a detailed feedback for this game after the jam is over, as you have replied to my post for the feedback. There are still lots of requests, and I decided I will play rate them all first, and give feedback later (as it takes more time). I will write a detailed feedback on things I loved and would love to see improved as I won't be online for the next few days.
Thanks for playing. Love to hear the detailed feedback.
Man, the music choice for this was excellent. This game was just a vibe.
I've read the other comments already, so I know the wolf was supposed to kill the player - but honestly, when I found out grandpa was wrong and nothing hurts me at night, I was chilling haha
I did still avoid the wolf completely in my first playthrough - only tried to intentionally touch it in my second one and then found out it does nothing 😂
Anyways - good stuff for just one person in just a week! I loved the unique controls - not just pressing a button, but actually raising your hand and grabbing whatever it touches. Never saw anything quite like it!
Thanks for playing the game, and thanks for the feedback.... The existence of the wolf will be in question for future updates. There are going to be some 'obstacles', but maybe some other animals, that are native for the location of the game.
Could not figure out what are the controls to pick olives
Holding the space bar pushes the right arm up, and while the arm is up just get in contact with the nearest olive to pick it up.
At first, I thought this was a horror game, and was kind of scared because I'm not good with horror. The vibes of this game made me always on guard while trying to pick the olives as fast as I can. But ended up motion sick because I turn the camera everywhere searching for olives... I thought maybe somehow I could get the top ones but I guess not! The music also compliments the eerie vibe. Maybe when the night comes you can add more effects to make it scarier? For a game done in a week, this is already great though!
I am still thinking on future updates how to work on the game. Maybe more like a dark humor game.... but we will see. Thanks for the feedback.
This game is such a vibe! I liked it a lot. Suggesting adding post-processing and fog to add to the atmosphere, and I'm not sure why the dog appeared, it just barks and does nothing else, which ruined the vibe a bit.
Keep it up!
It should kill, but it seems in updates somehow lost the ability to kill :).
Good game! I very like the visuals and gameplay was pretty cool
Thanks for playing the game.
Super chill game picking olives, almost like a golf course ride!!
amazing visuals!! Great work!!
Thanks for playing :)
In future i plan to remove the ESC quitting and making a menu.
Amazing!! I thought something bad will happen at night and it felt odd. You can improve on this to make a horror game :)
Well i was thinking like a dark humor game... Thanks for playing the game.
There is something oddly wholesome about picking olives
Nice game!
Yes, it is very relaxing. Thanks for playing the game :).
This was an extremely calming experience. You've made such a nice and relaxing game. I like that the gameplay is very simple, it really resonates the feeling of peace and quiet. After playing so many games with fast-paced gameplay and chaos, it was genuinely so nice to just sit back and take a break by picking a few olives. The music choice was fantastic and really fit the chill vibe of the game. You've interpreted the theme very well - Nothing can go wrong, so don't worry and just relax. I really enjoyed playing this. Great work!
Thanks for playing the game.
Nice chill game, had a fun time picking the olives for grandpa. The dog was barking at me like crazy I thought maybe he wanted the olives to himself lol. Awesome work!
Thanks for playing!
Chill little game. Had my fun with it.
Thanks :)
The vibes were really chill, I had some difficulty with picking olives (sometimes the character would interact, and sometimes not), nice environment and textures, good job :))
There is always room for polishing, and maybe highlighting the olives before picking it up... Thanks for feedback.
What a chill vibes, lovely :) Interesting to read that your textures come from nearby real-life pictures. I didn’t notice that at first, which is a good thing I feel like.
Well done :)
Thank you :)
Interesting art style. the game really was a peaceful game about picking olives
Thank you. All hand made. Texturs are real photos taken nearby. Have to learn more about making better UV maping and so on for
future updates.
Reminds me the south of france!
Maybe in future updates going to reveal more the actual location :). Thx for playing.
I loved the art style cause despite it looking bad it made the feel of the game better. Also it would be nice if it was easier to know what to do.
Overall great game!
Plan was to make the grandpa more involved, but had to remove the idea last minute... Maybe in future updates after the jam.
nice game! seems like the old man has strong feet haha :) you should maybe add more to the tutorial though, for example how you get the bags to the car
Yeah, I was thinking of making the grandpa more involved and giving you directions, but didn't had time. If I continue working on in after jam will look into it.
Very quiet and chill game, I've never though about picking olives in real life. Now I want to eat olives, really ^^
I like the low poly style of the car and the grandpa! I still don't know how to empty my bag of olives of if is there a way to win or loose the game? Thanks for this peaceful moment. If you have time to try Angry Shepherd I'd like to have your feedback please :)
In the middle line you have empty bags where you fill the bags, and then this bags when they get full, you take to the trunk of the car... To win the game you have to fill all four bags and put them in the trunk. To lose, you have to take your time to pick olives :)... Thanks for trying the game out.
