I love it! The artstyle is totally to my taste. The game is coherent in its entirety, in my opinion, both in terms of theme, through the execution, to the music, which is an adequate background for the work we do. I like various small details that perfect the gameplay, such as an owl appearing outside the window, changes in the time of day, or funny beard movements. Such little things really do the job :D
Was the gameplay planned this way from the beginning or was it cut down? Because while at the beginning it is understandable that the character works quite laboriously "stone by stone", I imagine that later, a way could be found to speed up the work (which I also think was a good development, adequate to the game jam theme).
Overall congratulations, great result in a very short time! :)

Adorable! I got bored at about 10% completion though.

Nice chill game, great idea for the theme! Does it save progress after closing the game? I only finished 4 rows yet, but would like to return sometime to finish my masterpiece :)

Developer

i didn't implement any saving no 😔 but thanks for playing

I love the idea you had, making statues is super smart and feat perfectly the theme. It was really cool !

really cute and relaxing game, id personally make the mining speeds a little faster, but I feel that would detract from the idea of slowly crafting a masterpiece. good game :)

Developer

im glad you got the point, its actually supposed to be long and slightly boring haha 😅 thanks for playing Lotad!

I really enjoyed it! The game is relaxing, has a nice vibe and details like the visible change of time of day outside the window, an owl or even that little funny sculptor's beard add charm to the game! Good job! ♥

Made it through the statue and got the thanks for playing message. I found myself wishing that the blocks' health didn't refill if you moved the cursor away - I got a little frustrated when I moved off of a block too fast haha.

I liked the owl!

very chill and relaxing game. the time changing in the windows was such a nice touch! i think the gameplay was somewhat limiting and i kinda wish there was a sense of progression (like starting with smaller sculptures, and buying tools to make bigger sculptures). of course these are symptoms of the tight time constraints, and overall its extremely impressive for a one person team!

Developer

thanks for the kind words :)

The games atmosphere is so good! The audio and the art fit in very well and it makes for a really peaceful experience. Details like the day/night cycle go a long way
