What a lovely game! Haha I love the attitude of the people being like "hey yo the hare's talkin' smack, we gotta help our world tortoise out!" Okay that's not what they said...but I love the vibe, which the music was perfect for, and I really loved the first two minigames (especially the second one, with the cups).
Where you kind of lost me was the memory card one, and especially the baseball one. I don't love the memory one because all of the "gameplay" is happening in the span of a few seconds as you memorize some cards (though thankfully it's easy enough to memorize one row and steer sparingly). The baseball one did not explain itself, and it felt random which side the "ball" would go. I suppose in both cases my critique can be boiled down to "RNG."
I wouldn't mind either of these things if there were checkpoints.
But critiques aside, I'm still very impressed with this one. That's a lot of minigames to implement in such a short span! Awesomely done!
Very impressive for a one man work. Interesting mechanics of undirrect control. Cach the theme of Jam very well. Great work!
Cool game! I really like the concept of having the minigames influencing something else as well as the variety of minigames. The graphics and audio are great & give the game a nice, cosy vibe. Good job! :D
Nice concept and cool minigames! Liked it a lot! Just couldn't get past the homerun minigame, hahaha! I'd suggest to maybe add a checkpoint system to save the progress every 1 minigame or 2. Congratulations for your entry!
This looks fantastic and love the tortoise idea (I love tortoises and had a pet one in the past), only problem is I couldn't work out the first minigame for ages then when I worked it out I had run out of time to play any further. Shame as looks like you had really put a lot into the game. I'll try and revisit after the jam.
I'm a first time game jam entrant and what I've learned in this jam is that as there so many games it is better to err on the side of creating a game that is easy to grasp and play quickly as often people only have 5 or 10 minutes for each jam game.
Great concept and a unique idea. Game itself is super cute. It was a little hard to control though, but I guess thats part of the challenge! Great entry!
This is such a solid game! The artwork is really good and the game fits really well with the theme. It's really impressive how you made 5 mini games for it and the way they all interacted with the race was really well done. It was a little unclear on what the first minigame was doing at first but once I found out it was fun. Overall a pretty fun game!
A very cute game with some fun spins on minigames to work with the race. Go turtle!
That was a really cool wario ware kinda game! Fits the theme really well, but boy was it HARD on a couple of those mini games xD I beat it though!
Nice game! I like the mini-game style, reminds me of WarioWare. Great use of the classic tale as motivation to win the games. Took me a few tries to get used to the balance mechanic. Great job overall :D
Thanks for playing my game. Yes, WarioWare and Mario Party were definitely inspirations.
Great game! loved all the mini-games and it's super cool that you actually made them very unique!
Thanks for playing and for the compliment.
very unique idea, love all those minigames :D nice job!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Thanks for playing.
