Super cute game. I love how the colors and the music change as you progress. The dialog was a bit long, but it was very enjoyable. Great job.

I thought the sweater was a phone when I first saw it.

Developer

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the feedback and so glad you enjoyed the music and colour change :D

Developer

So glad to hear that! Thank you :D

The game came out cool, but the chapter of the game with holes, I did not understand where to go, if the hole would have saved, I would have passed, but no, the dialogue for me, it was too much

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback! We're looking into the best ways to sort out the issue of the holes. Either by having them stay or to have a map you can see. We'll hopefully remedy this and optimize dialogue in the next update.

Playing this game was a...great reward.  Loved it! Felt like it could legitimately be a Gameboy game.  Sadly, I did not have the patience to finish the gopher hole section.  I will have to revisit later because I need to finish this!  Excellent work

Developer(+1)

So glad you enjoyed it!

The gopher holes are the trickiest part for sure. We're considering the most effective way to deal with this issue, you're not alone!

Hope you get that ... great reward when you do revisit!

This game made my heart happy, the art was awesome and the little character animations are perhaps my favorite ever. The music was also so good, I might have to add that night time theme to my playlist!

I will agree that the game was a little trial and error-y at times, and sometimes the dialogue dragged a BIT, but the overall vibe was so immaculate I couldn't put it down! Plus, luckily for me, I have a penchant for remembering directions and love slide puzzles ;^)

Awesome entry, definitely one of the most feel-good and perhaps the best interpretation of theme I've seen so far!

Thanks so much for the kind words! <3 Happy to hear that the music is getting a good response! I hope release the tunes at some point before the year is done. I'll add a devlog here when I do!

Really appreciate you taking the time to post this lovely comment, it made our hearts happy too!

As every child know, cats go mow.

The game is charming and pretty but the final part is just an exercise in frustration and I just couldn't bring myself to finish it event though the great prize was awaiting.

Also the dialogue bubbles closing and then immediately re-opening mid-dialogue was a bit confusing at the start. 

Developer

Cats do indeed go mow.

Thanks for the kind words. Sorry about the gophers :(

we didn't intend for them to be quite so frustrating and this is something we may look at updating after the jam. We were also using the 'one room mechanic' secondary theme which unfortunately (because of engine limitations) didn't allow for us to keep all the pitfalls on screen after being activated.

We really appreciate the feedback and thanks so much for playing!

If the holes stayed it'd have slightly helped but the main issue from my POI is the lack of player agency. Go thru, fall into and repeat until you happen to fail enough times.

Just fantastic! The reward at the end is very rewarding and I really enjoyed the character dialogue :)

Developer

Aww, yay! We're so glad you enjoyed it.

 Thanks very much for playing!

This game is remarkably polished! I loved it so so much... until the gopher sinkhole section which almost made me ragequit. The end was mostly worth it, but I have never swore so much at a game jam game... lolol

But anyway. The art was beautiful, the music was perfect, and Stanley was a wonderful host. Overall this is definitely one of the best jam games I've played thus far. Just... UGH those gophers!

Developer

This will not be the last we hear of the gopher holes! XD

Glad you stuck it through. Thanks for the kind words and constructive feedback.

Darn gophers!

Nice game.  The dialogue had good humor in it (with a side of interesting facts!).

Developer

Thank you! Glad to hear that bit of trivia was enjoyed. :)

Your game looks and feels amazing! I love the artstyle and chats with the scarecrow, also the sun setting a little bit more after each chapter was a very nice touch.

The controls sometimes feel a little bit stiff (but I think thats almost always the case with gb studio) and I think in the end there might be horses or something like that missing in front of the hay ride.

Other than that awesome job! Really enjoyed this one.

Developer(+1)

Haha, the horses! That was actually planned that way... Sprite limitations and the magic of Stanley the Scarecrow ;) 

Thanks so much for the positive words, and for playing!

Highly rated. Man I love that GB studio. Gonna have to download it and mess around soon. The game is str8 out of that time period so its got the good and bad. Overall great game and idea. I enjoyed the mini puzzles per section. While I enjoyed the quips from the scarecrow I felt like there was a lot of text to read through. Overall though great stuff here!

Developer

Thank so much! We really appreciate the constructive feedback and positive words. GB Studio has been a lot of fun to work with and the community is extremely helpful! Happy autumn and happy gaming! :)
