Super cute game and unique mechanics. Well done!
Thank you for playing my game.
Great work, a nice concept. You didn't make just one game you made lots of games, that must've been a lot of work to get done in time. Well done!
Oh yeah, making those games took time. Also thinking of appropriate games took a while as well.
Thanks for playing.
nice work! multiple mini games in one.. and a nice story behind it. I enjoyed it.. honestly took me 1 go of confusion to work out what I was meant to do and then went back and read the instructions better. The baseball game felt not quite responsive enough, i felt like i sent a lot of people to the right, but didnt move enough to the right. Was good fun and well put together
Thanks for playing.
Yeah, all the games could have used more tweaking, clarity and from what I've been reading, some difficulty adjustments. Normally my kids would've been my game testers and would've told me what was wrong with the game (they don't hold back), but unfortunately I was working too frantically to get the five games built.
Great idea, well done!
Thanks for playing my silly game.
Nice job in making this cute little game. Love the way you incorporated the theme.
Thanks for playing!
Great job submitting a game to the jam! You did a lot in just a week! I really like the idea of the mini-games and the mechanics were fun. I keep getting tripped up on the memory game XD. Great job!
Thanks for playing and your feedback.
Loved the arts for the game however I can't fully experience the game as it become laggy in my pc. I realised that this happen in few others game too.
Oh, I wonder what's wrong. You're the first I heard that had an issue with the game. Well, thanks anyhow for trying to play it.
It looks very interesting but even after multiples times trying I couldn't figure out how to play the first mini games. I've read the comments below so I understand it was your goal to make people figure out, but in that case it could be interesting to add a clue system for people like me that is available after a certain number of tries, to prevent frustration.
Thanks for playing and your input. It gave me an idea. Since modifying the game would be counter to the spirit of the game jam, I instead decided to add some additional information to the game page. Under the controls, I gave a stronger hint towards what the play may need to do. I hope that helps provide the player with enough direction. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the game easier, as people have found the minigames too difficult...
This was so cute!! I really enjoyed what you did with the theme . Super polished looking to boot I love
The mini games are such a cute concept. I did find it pretty challenging at times, particularly the the baseball and skeet games. Having to start over initially felt too much but considering the actual length of the game and that taking the time to really understand the mechanics paid off I think this is a great entry ^^
Ha ha, thanks for playing and the kind words.
The game you made with Clayton is great. The art you made for it is awesome! You did a great job. The title image and logo looks very professional and eye catching!
Aww thank you so much!!
that was nice fr
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed my silly game.
Fun mini games, feel like we almost made it to the end after several tries :) great work!
Thanks for playing.
I didn't realize so many people would find the game difficult. Haha. I even made a tiny animation of the tortoise celebrating that I was pretty proud of and most won't see it.
Loved the mini games, nicely put together and good story
Cool game
Thanks for trying out my silly game.
Loved the story, very creative. I enjoyed the mini games, and I love the imagery of batting the villagers around. It was very satisfying after trying to herd them around :P .
Haha, thanks for playing.
Polish? You nailed it. Really nice feel to this game. Nice pace in some tricky games (I need an "easy mode"). Great job :)
Thanks for playing. Yeah, because I developed the game, I was a bad tester. I was actually worried it was too easy. But I've heard from other people that it might have been too difficult. If I had the time, I would have gotten someone else to test it before I submitted it. Hopefully it was only difficult in the challenging way not frustrating way.
That's pretty cool! The minigames were really creative!
Thanks for playing.
Really cute and unique spin on the theme. Mini games are cool, lots of mechanics!
Thanks for playing my game!
Always huge respect for pixel art games. I envy the artists can can make little cubes pretty.
I loved your game! It takes a bit of time to get used to the controls, but it's super fun and I really enjoyed it. As feedback, you might consider making the mechanics more random — like having different mechanics each time. The controls for the villagers feel a bit clunky, but overall, it's perfect! <3
Thanks for playing and your feedback. Yes, in fact that some randomness was on the list, but it had to be given a lower priority given the time constraints. I wanted more potential minigames that the game could toss at the player and the path the tortoise runs along might also be different each playthrough.
Yeah, the controls have room for improvement. I didn't leave enough time for me to balance all the systems like controls and difficulty.
i would love to try it out
Really nicely made game. Liked the idea and liked playing and was good in all areas. did take me a while to figure out how to play tho
Thanks for trying our my game. Yeah, it has a Warioware approach where you get presented with a game and you need to quickly figure out what's going on.
This is a really clever implementation of the theme and you've basically made 5 minigames to control the larger game which is so clever. That canon level was brutal! It took me over 5 tries to beat the game.
Great work!
Thanks for playing!
