I absolutely loved that the text boxes had cat ears 😍
Also, I think the talking sounds are done in a very clever way. By having a meow sound over and over again with different pitches and only have the last one play out in full (that's how you did it right?) gives the talking the typical Animal Crossing sound while unmistakingly sounding like a cat. The music is also incredibly fitting.
My only complaint would be that I was sometimes struggeling with finding the right angle so that a building would get recognized by the camera.
Otherwise amzing work. Incredibly cozy :3
Omg! I liked it a lot! Reminded me so much of Animal Crossing! I was able to play only a little but I will return to this game for sure!
Thanks for playing! The character models and voices are very inspired by Animal Crossing haha :D
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every part makes me want to explore, the music is well crafted, and all around a fun game to make me want MORE!!!!! Beaten 100% and I wish I could do it all again. 🍕
Thanks for playing! The stream was really fun to watch :D
I loved the story and the picture taking is a very unique game mechanic. The movement felt a little weird since the charter snapped to the angles (like you would in a 2d game). It could help to smooth out that transition for changes in direction. Also no idea how I found the ghost but I did!
Thanks for playing!! And thank you for the feedback. I know what you mean about snapping to angles, it could definitely be smoothed out. And good job on finding the ghost, the object detection is quite sensitive so it’s possible it was just in the edge of the photo 😆
Amazing!
Thanks for playing!
well done! heartwarming, everything worked very well and engaging characters. I enjoyed playing it.
Thanks so much!
Great game, visuals are really beautifull !
The global presention is great, I loved the cat sounds haha
Thank you!! The voice for the character “Tendon” is actually a recording of my cat 😂
The game assets were really really charming!! I really like how the color palette is cohesive too, added a lot to the experience
Thank you so much!! I agree the artist Bluchu did a great job with the colours
Super cute! You guys did great on the presentation, everything feels quite peaceful and refreshing, being limited to a top-down perspective and then being able to navigate the surroundings with a first-person camera felt very satisfying to play with. The little character animations, the sound effects, the funky music left a memorable impression. Also we share a game name (sort of) hehehehe
Thanks so much for your kind words! And wow yes our game names are so similiar!! What are the chances 😂
this was sooo cute! it's amazing you could get so much done in just 3 days! the picture gameplay was really fun and the whole vibe was so cute haha
Slight note if you ever try to improve/complete the game, I wish we could rotate the camera view while walking because sometimes it's a bit harder to know where you're going with all the buildings in the way
Thank you, I’m glad you liked the game! And thanks for the feedback! :D
This was so cute :) loved the mechanic of just being able to run around and take pictures of everything :D even found the "interesting" thing ^^
Thanks for playing and good job finding the thing!! :D
Very nice game!
Moving around taking pictures is really fun and I loved to see the detail of the ghost (got a lot of pizza)
You guys did a great job!
Thanks a lot for playing, glad you liked it and got the silly ending! :D haha
This was so cute and cuddly! The theming and art were wonderful, and the photography mechanic was super cool. I couldn't find the mystery photograph, though I probably could have tried harder. I was sad when it ended. Great job!
Thank you for playing, I’m glad you liked the game!
Hint for the mystery photo
It is near the castle :D
This game has a really good repesentation and the art and music matches really well together. Very impressed that the game was able to fit all the content that it had within the time frame of the game jam. Especially with the camera system, which provides a really cool new perspective of the game. Really fun game to play. Well done
Thanks so much! Actually, the camera mechanic wasn't as difficult as I originally expected it to be, but even so we were still working on the game basically right up until the deadline. Glad we managed to get it mostly all together haha
Super awesome job, best game I've seen thus far. Well polished, gameplay is fantastic for a story game. Well done.
Thanks so much for your kind words!
This was super fun and adorable! It's awesome to see that you guys made a continuation for the winter jam (I just went back and also replayed the updated version of the winter jam, great work on the update it turned out amazing btw). I also love the photography mechanic, it's really perfect for a cozy game experience! If it's possible to have the pictures saved it would be awesome to take another look at them too especially since the camera gives a completely different perspective of the game.
Thank you so much for playing both games! I'm glad you like them! Actually, we had an idea to show some of the photos the player had taken at the end of the game, but we didn't have time to implement it. Saving photos is a cool idea too! Maybe we will implement something like this if we make a post-jam version again.
Very cozy little game, I liked the camera system a lot!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing :)
What a cool game with a neat mechanic to photgraph things!
I love the presentation. It was a lot of fun to explore the island, I managed to find and photograph the ????? as well ;)
Ohhh good job with the bonus photo!! And glad you liked the game :D
Love this game!
Thanks for playing!
