Made me smile a lot! gg
aww thank you! makes me happy to hear! thanks for playing
Love the grape waddle reference, bring back memories haha! Then he waddled away, waddle waddle.
Really cool design, love the mushroom people. Thank you for not making me escape the squirrels manually, I would have gotten eaten. Cute design, it's a whole game already. Cool!
thanks for playing!! im glad you didnt get eaten by the squirrels haha
My stream of playing your game amongst others.
that was so cool to watch you play it! i tried really hard to block people from passing the rocks in the first area to the "unplayable" area but you still managed to find a way to get stuck! thanks for finding that out for us haha.
lol your welcome :)
This was fun. It took me a little while to find the thing that made me go small - realised I should just go to where the arrow was pointing lol. That whole effect was awesome and then heading inside the tree to an entirely new world was clever. I loved the music and the use of the sound effects. Overall a really great take on the theme - well done!
Thank you playing our game and the kind words! It makes us happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and game we created ^.^
Really like the visuals and overall performance love it <3
thank you so much for playing our game! glad you enjoyed it< 3
Very impressive. The controls feel a little awkward, but with some polishing, I could see this getting a full release if you expand upon it a bit more.
there's a lot of avenues for future quests! unfortunate that it felt awkward for you, but i'm glad it was still playable for you! we appreciate you for playing our game!
Such a cute game!
thanks for playing!
This game was a lot of fun to play. Very cute, great story! I now live in a banana and ask my fellow kin if they got any grapes. :)
hopefully they share their grapes with you! haha
Incredible game, i love adventure game
thanks for playing!
Very fun and whimsical, I especially enjoyed talking to all the little people, but I do wonder if they purposefully shrink down their veggies to feel big though.
haha thats some lore that i have not thought that deep into... but its quite thought provoking
that was wonderfully weird and charming. I honestly felt transported into a fantastical little world with weird little creatures. sure, the potion bottle nearly broke me mentally, but the screenshot saved me and I am happy I was able to see the ending. perfect game before going to sleep.
haha im glad you enjoyed it and were able to get to the end! your comment gave me a good chuckle. thanks for playing our game!
Awesome game. Loved the humor. The localization ony seems to apply to the UI, but very impressive you even implemented any localization at all.
That was fun, it took me a while to locate the bottle, but I managed to grow big and go home, great work on the project!
yay im glad you had fun! thanks for playing the game!
Very cute! I have finished the game by getting big and I think the texts and the story are very cute (which is the main point of the game), however the gameplay falls a little shallow, you only pick up items one by one throughout the game. I know this is supposed to be story based but a minigame for brewing the potion instead of just finding a battle would be a lot better and being able to pick up all the items while searching for the ingredients would be more intuitive.
I also found the lemonade stand duck reference :)
thanks for the feedback! we wanted to be able to integrate parallel pickups (because i agree... picking things up as you find them makes more sense haha), but it was just easier to implement the way it was done for the time constraints we had. thanks for playing our game!
got any grapes? hehe
Super cute game!
Super cute game!
aw thank you! glad you enjoyed
Love the visuals!
thank you so much! and thanks for playing our game!
Really nice visuals, great hit on the theme. Fun but didn't find the bottle :-(
thanks for playing! The bottle is small, yellow and on the ground. If you'd like a more direct hint to the area so you can complete the game let us know ^.^
dont worry, you arent the only one who has struggled to find the potion bottle! i designed it so it would be the hardest to find, but perhaps i made it a little tooooo hard. to guide anyone who gets stuck, i have added a screenshot to the game page! check it out and let us know if it helps :- )
I live on a banana now :) , i really like the game, very nice, i playerd in browser for the endings, i want to download but give an error on unzip
One of us!! One of us!! Hahah thank you for playing our game. That's weird about the download/windows version had an error on unzip though - you didnt happen to catch what it was? Ill test unzipping it again tomorrow (my time) thanks for letting us know ^.^
I tested it and you're correct which is weird, seems like an itch upload issue as the zip itself was fine. I have reuploaded the windows build and tested downloading it where it worked for me. If you wanted to try again, let me know how it goes! :) Thanks for letting us know!
Nice, it's full playable web browser, but better if can download :)
Lovely game! I truly enjoyed the lore and vibrant visuals! Funny how you can use potion ingredients to make a nice, healthy soup! Hehe!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Nothing like a good ol' veggie soup to make you big and strong again ;P hahah!! Thanks for playing your game ^.^
