This is adorable.
Aside from that, i love the theming and concept here, also of course a fellow gnome game is always appreciated haha.
I do think the actual gameplay could be polished a little more though, it was a bit tedious to actually look through the little scenes, in part because theres not too much in them but also because the camera control is pretty slow.
All in all a very relaxing game though, the sound design and art direction is very fitting for a cute concept like this!

Super cute game! I like the interpretation of the theme to look for *small* clues in a big world, very clever. I think moving around the magnifying glass is a really slow, slower for me than in the gif in the screenshot. Since it's Unity, I'm guessing you need to multiple the change to the camera velocity by Time.deltaTime to ensure it is the same distance per unit of real time regardless of the device's frame rate. Tutorials have more relevant info. Cool game though, I like the gnomes!
HAHA~!!! This was so much fun, had an absolute blast helping all the gnomes(Sometimes to detriment of another gnome). Great artstyle going on as well. I always got myself a huge smile whenever I heard the gnome sound.
FOUND THE SEEDS! LETS GOOOOOOOO!!
Such a cute game! I really hope the gnome I took the matches from will be alright - maybe he can visit the one in the pond in his new house. The art style is so nice and cozy and the way magnifiing glass works just feels right as if I was actually looking around using it. One of my favorite games from the jam so far. Great job!
P.S. I also encountered a visual bug with the flowers (see below) that I would like to point your attention to.
Using a magnifying glass for the game jam theme is a great idea. I like these small fellows :D Good entry!
Gaaf! Very charming and fun concept. Love the colors as well, super rustic!!
Super chill game and pretty fun
If I could change one thing I would make it possible to look around faster with the magnifying glass
The art is really nice as well
(PS: fellow Nederlanders of Belgen?)
quit a cozy little game! I did find the gameplay a bit too slow, maybe add some extra things to do or just increase the speed of the magnifying glass and the character. Still had fun though! definitely the type of game I could see myself playing on a Saturday evening or something
