Great Game! I got stuck in a bush once, and it would happen to the ninjas sometimes too, but other than that, it was a super fun polished experience. Loved the artstyle.
Interesting game idea.
I managed to get myself glitched into the well soon after starting the game, and while I appreciate you were trying to be humorous, I really absolutely hate that cutscene.
Not because of bad graphics or anything similar or the length, but because you happened to make an obvious ableist stereotype mocking the mentally disabled.
Maybe that's not a slight to a game in whatever culture you come from but it sure as hell gives me a reason to not replay that intro to try to experience more.
Rated high for graphics though. and enjoyed the audio. Sorry for being harsh in some regards, but I would appreciate it if you try to realize how sensitive some topics are: For some people that's akin to calling someone of a different race an ape to their face or something similar; obviously saying something like that is being a racist SOB, but disabled people have feelings too right?
Oh ok. Something totally went wrong here.
When I read your text it took me about five minutes to get what you were refering to.
Now that I got it, I see its about my bad drawing skills. I didn't mean the goat to look mentally disabled, it should look like a silly person who is always making fun and can't hold still vor a sec. But I think you have a point here that it could easily be mistaken :( Big apology for that.
You know as it is a jam we had not much time, especially for the intro. Next time we will be more sensitive. Thank you for your feedback.
It's no problem, just something that you should keep in mind for next time working on a game.
I believe I'm probably right in the fact that it's a cultural thing, lots of places it's still seemingly acceptable to make jokes like that for some reason, and probably it wasn't meant as an insult to anyone at all but was just an unfortunate accidental implication, that would only be noticed by people who have been bullied for years by bigots using insults like that (meaningfully).
But using the word "special" to describe someone in an obvious undertone (set by the picture), is similar to referring to someone with a very offensive R word. Maybe you saw it as a joke and it's probable that you didn't see it as more than some kind of humor. But to some people, racism and homophobia are also attempts at "humor", which usually lead to them being blocked by most people, whereas it hasn't gotten to a point that as many people know as much about the negative sides of ableism.
I think the game was very well presented, I loved the graphics and enjoyed the music, and I would have continued to play it had I not managed to get myself stuck really early. I think it's really cool that you went to the effort to make an intro too. I think that aside from this one issue, it was the best game, game play wise I have played in the jam so far.
It just happened to be that I'm somebody who would be really upset by jokes like that. I'm really sorry to bring negativity to your game, especially after you left me a nice comment. But scrolling through the comments seeing people applauding the "humor", makes me worry about the amount of people that don't understand how hurtful words like that can be to some people.
Really nice polished game. Love the overall quality and that it was easy to understand.
One strange thing while I was fighting the red ninja boss he got through the trees and I could not reach him, not sure if that was indented or not but though I would point it out.
I loved the different abilities and the graphics / cooldown indicators are very well done. Making everything from scratch I love it. Congrats on the jam!
Would greatly appreciate a play on mine =)
This was so much fun! It's hilarious and I loved the art style and the concept. The hit boxes are a little wonky though--I got stuck for a few minutes. Super fun game.
Love it! the art style is super funny and the concept is hilarious.
Probably the most unique idea so far! Funny game :)
Thank you! We really enjoyed yours, too!
Really nice little game. I like the atmosphere and art especially but also the different moves and music are well done! The gameplay loop maybe get a little bit repetetive but i still quite liked it! One problem is that in the end, a lot of carrots moved onto trees so I couldn't pick them up and got stuck on 750 out of 800 carrots. Maybe add some physics to them so they can't pass the walls If you work on it more. Still really nicely done especially for a first game!
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback :)
Yeah we had some problems with the dash-function, but ran out of time to fix it xD
Thanks for the comment!
Loved the design,
I would work more on polishing the audio, it really needs to send more feedback.
Anyways dev, already rated it.

Nice Job!
Amazing drawings!
ha ha! The art is great and its a really fun concept. Sometimes picking up the carrots was a bit frustrating but it didn't ruin the game. I liked the red ninja, he*;) could be a bit smarter as I was able to hit him from a far without him responding, which isn't as fun as getting in there and fighting off his bombs. Lovely idea!
I love the art, and the story is magical. Annoyingly, I got stuck in the middle of some log piles pretty early on in the first level. The animations of the three attacks are awesome, btw.
