In what way does your game fit the theme?
The character of the game needs to collaborate with the player in 4th wall breaking interactions. Some actions need to be done by the character and the player simultaneously with the help of the cursor.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes we did.

By far the best one I've played in the jam. A perfect little experience will all kinds of uniqueness one can hope to see in a jam. Astonishing work. Well done. An easy all 5 star from me.
The way buttons worked made me gasp with excitement at the cleverness of the whole thing.

Really nice concept! I enjoyed it a lot. Well done
This was such a fun and original game. Great job with this game in the constraints of the jam. Keep up the fantastic work!
So far the best game of the jam for us.
- Funny, original dialogues combined with a great story concept.
- Awesome pixel art assets and animations.
- Really great connection to the character with all sorts of emotions. We really have been friends on the end of the journey. We would have liked to keep playing. Hope everythings fine in the village. ;)
Only thing that was annoying was the "wobble" screen distortion effect while pushing the mouse button. We get the intention behind the idea but we got a little bit seasick in fullscreen mode after a while haha. If you keep working on this game please reduce the effect or add an option to do so.
Anyway, awesome project! *****
All the best from the Wilma & Buddy Team
Thanks a lot for the feedback. 😄
For the wobble effect we understand that sometimes can be a bit overwhelming (especially in situations where the mouse press is a bit longer).
We will see if is possible to find a solution for sure later.
Great idea! The game looks great and works well, congrats on the submission!
I liked the dialogues, they are interesting to me.
Also the game is good too.
Liked the art style a lot and the concept of the player working together with mouse
Let me start with all of the good because there's a lot of it. This is obviously a well polished game with a very creative use of the theme. The graphics are beautiful and the aesthetics all sell them idea that you are lost in the forest. The commentary helps form a relationship and giving me the option to choose how some of the commentary went was that "frosting on the cake" to really sell this experience. As I am sure others have mentioned, definitely felt like I was in the Kokiri Village or the lost woods with the music and the mood. The subtle shimmer when you click, the light piercing through the foliage, the particle effects when you move, and all the emotes just made the whole experience so much enjoyable. Really great job!
I'm legit surprised that not many more have played this game because I feel that this should be like in the hundreds by now. :)
Now that the praise is over, I only have "nitpicks" because the game is so well done. A few things that I think would help make the experience a bit better, for me at least:
Breaking the fourth wall, very clever! Amazing game, enjoyed it a lot. Liked the mouse-click distortion effect. Well done!
Good job guys. You made a really good looking game. All the best for your future works.
Great art style and visuals! Nice job
Beautiful game, the art is amazing, and I loved the waving mouse effect. Definitely going to learn that for future games.
Well done, amazing art, dialogue and character! Also, very original idea to have the cursor as an actual character in-game! I'd love if you tried my game too by the way (:
Love the chill vibes this game gives
Really fun game! Nice way of respecting the theme, I must say its quite unique! The atmosphere overall was very relaxing and the game was pleasant to look at. Great game!
Awesome game! I enjoyed seeing how the character reacts to my actions. I think my favorite is when he questioned why I unnecessarily pushed a rock!
You have a very cool game! I love the graphics, continue ! 30/30 Really my favorite game so far, it's so cool, i have the impression that you did the game 5 years ago in 2 month haha
Also, don't forget to play and rate my game!
