I love the presentation in spite of not being able to understand the language. The graphics are excellent. I got the house on the right and the central house to 0*, but couldn't figure out how to get the house on the left below 1*. I suspect it may have been a bug as I complete 5 events against it (spray paint x 2, propaganda poster x 2, and fish bones x 1). Overall really impressed with the game design as I was essentially able to figure out what I was doing without being able to read much of the content!
Thanks for playing. Are you able to talk me through your issue step-by-step? I tried it a few times and couldn’t reproduce the bug you describe.
The order of things I did to the left house was fish bones, paint on the house, paint on the wall, and then the flyers (don't remember which order). Unfortunately I didn't notice which one didn't count for a star, but I had the house looking like you do in the screen shot.
As for the rest of my actions, I tried to spread them out between the houses somewhat. I don't exactly remember the order of actions I took but it was something like:
Center house -> Radio, Left house -> Fish bones, Right house -> tourist, Right house -> trash truck, Center house -> Paint, Left house -> Paint, Right house -> Paint, Center house -> Flyers, Left house -> flyers, Right house -> flyers. If it's worth noting, I also picked up the barrel and tried all sorts of stuff with it (I think I did this right after painting).
I can't guarantee that's the order I did things, but I think that was pretty close... I really should've taken a screen shot though I don't know how helpful that would've been..
I’ll take a look in a bit. Just noticed your username… did you find the two Krakens in the game?
I did not find the Krakens! I just tried again, and still couldn't find them, I was trying things with the barrel and eventually there was a little symbol on it (was that a kraken?) I assume one of them is near the beach where the undesirable sunbather goes, because I found a spot that emits noise when interacted with, but couldn't figure out how to do anything with it... That being said though I was able to beat it this time! Really at a loss as to why that left house didn't drop to 0 on my first playthrough.
You won’t miss the krakens when you find them. The symbol on the barrel is supposed to be a skull and cross bones to signify poison or toxic waste. That sprite is only two 8 x 16 tiles and can only have 3 colours so it was a challenge. I still can’t replicate the bug.
I enjoyed this a lot, the art, music and sound design are amazing. Of course, I couldn't properly understand everything that was said, but it was enough to give the gist of what's happening and what's expected of the player.
Unfortunately, I was not able to finish the game after three retries - I got stuck on 1* on the second house at my 2nd and 3rd attempts. Anything I did seemingly had no more effect. Also, on my first attempt, I managed to get myself stuck by using the fish bone like this:
That all being said, this is a great small game! Love that it is in Cornish with English as a contrast.
Thanks for playing. I will update the game with a fix to your fishy problem once judging is over. Each game you can use up to 22 out of 28 scoring opportunities, you only need to score on 15 occasions to win the game. The best strategy is to take action against all the holiday houses at once rather than focusing on one at a time. If you get stuck press start and then choose ‘ov’ option to restart. Glad it was enjoyable.
I really liked the concept, especially given that the Holiday Property """Market""" is hugely problematic and relevant at the moment in many different countries.
Very cool you did it in your local language too.
Meur ras! I used the local language to help illustrate the contrasting views, culture, class and economic pressures. Glad you enjoyed it.
