Lovely game, really liked the style and music, would like to play a longer version, great job, keep it going.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^

Great game with strong retro vibes. Parallaxing is nicely done and the way bells bounce when you shot at it is interesting. There's proper feedback accompanying most actions too.

Developer

Thank you very much ^^

Funny how we both had (kinda) the same idea ... but ended up in totally different implementations.

Love the aesthetics and sounds - so retro-ish ^^

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much ^^
I'm gonna have to check your game out soon then!

Submitted

Please do and rate it please.

Tooth-rottingly cute, and super fun as well. I could see this concept being pushed much further!

I loved! very cute, amazing music, nice gameplay, great!

Developer

Thank you very much ^^

Loved the retro-feel! The graphics and sound effects were right on point. I personally would have liked to see a bit more sporadic behavior coming from the wand, but all in all, great game!

Developer

Thank you very much ^^
Yeah, I'd certainly have loved to do more, but there were some wand behaviours that I was simply unable to get working...
Glad you enjoyed it though~

I love everything about this! I especially love the background, it looks fantastic. And the music! Your games always feel so comfy to play.

Developer

Thanks for your kind comment~

Developer

Glad you did! Thank you very much ^^

Great game! I ADORE the music. I feel like I'd hear it in a Nintendo or Capcom game.

Developer

Thank you very much! I'm glad you do ^^

simple and fun to play. I will say that it's a bit generic all around and the unwieldy wand didn't seem very unwieldy. But overall, it was cute and fun!

Developer

Umm, maybe you got lucky?
Thanks for the comment!

This was a fun concept. The randomness definitely made it frustrating and challenging at times The changes caught me off guard which was fun. Good job overall.

Please check out little game out if you get the chance.

Developer

Thank you very much ^^

Sure thing! I'll get to it when I'm less tired.

Developer

Sorry, the game won't start on my PC...

Submitted

Try running OALINST.exe that comes with the game in the game folder. This installs Open AL. Its a common .dll file that a lot of games use. sorry for the inconvenience. We will try to include this .dll in the future.

Developer

I installed the DLL but I got another error...

Submitted

Hey Michirin, sorry it's not working still. What is the error you get when running it now?

Developer

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

Submitted (1 edit)

Try running the vc_redist.x64.exe as well. I thought we weren't actually dependent on it anymore but it looks like we are still.

Developer

I ran it... Still won't start... Do I need to restart my computer? If so I'll get back to you later...
In any case, I wish you best of luck with the jam ^^

I haven't played a good cute em up in awhile. This was a very good game, and something I would pay to play.

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it ^^
One day I'll get around to making a full cute-em-up~

That's such a good game! Art & Music is awesome and it's fun to combine the random effects :D Good job!

Developer

Glad you like it ^^

Submitted(+1)

So cute! I felt bad killing all the enemies :( I'd like to think that I'm transforming them into candy

Developer

Thank you very much ^^

Incredible, feels like it's a licencee Gameboy game. The parallax  background really does sell the feel, though, as well as the sound effects. Really nice graphics as well.

Developer

Glad you think so ^^
