Thank you! As a part of the art team, that makes me really happy read it! It was totally worth the effort. We had planned a couple more levels (around 3 if I recall) but time got on our back and decided to cut them out of the jam version... but once we come back to the project to finish it as a full thing, we'll definitely be including them on the final game.

Katamari Damacy was one of our main inspirations for the game! I'm glad it reminds you of it :)
We'll work on skipping the cutscene. There's a post on the game's page written by the programmer about a bug that prevented us from implementing the intro skip properly.
I'll go watch your stream right now! Thank you so much for your positive review!
Edit: I already watched it! Tysm again for trying it out. I'm sad you didn't reach the city level, you definitely would have loved it. (We even have a flying cow around the city!) You can absorb basically everything you see on screen so try to absorb everything you see, if you ever play again! :D

Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words 💙 The main mission on the farm level is absorbing the barn! It even triggers a text the other objects don't have, and once you absorb it you can level up your ship and go to the next level. The cow is on the level too, the name of the mission is "moove out of the way!" (Bad pun with moo)
You are gonna have a blast there! I'm glad you didn't encounter any bug. Thanks again for your review!

Thank you so much! Gahh I'm so sorry that happened to you! There was even a The Office reference somewhere in the final cutscene T-T
I'll let the programmer know ASAP! Thank you so much for trying the game out.
Edit: Turns out the hotfix messed up some stuff! We'll try to revert those changes back. Tysm for your patience and your feedback!

Very sorry to hear that you couldn't progress past level 2. We just released a new update with a fix for that.

Hello! I am the programmer for the game, and we are aware of some crashes on the first startup of the game. If you're affected by this, sorry! But good news: I am working on a fix. And hopefully everyone can try our game bug-free!
Workarounds:
A workaround is to try it again and prevent any input while it's loading.
Hey there! Thank you so much for wanting to try our game. We are aware there's a problem with Godot's VideoStreamPlayer that causes random crashes when switching scenes, and that may be the source of the problem.
Try clicking start a few times, and if it doesn't do the trick, redownloading the game should fix it.
It's an engine bug that sadly, is yet to be fixed (https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/78788); in the meantime we can do nothing but try a workaround and wait.
We hope you can play the game soon! :) When testing the final game, none of the people who played had this issue, but we'll look into it regardless.
What a shame, I hope that bug get fixed soon. But finally, it worked at the third try! As expected, stunning visuals and cinematics. It remind me a lot to Donut County. The game lagged a little bit during the gameplay (FPS dropped to ~10 during a few seconds) but I could play the whole thing. Good job! :)

I'm glad you could play it! We'll work on polishing the game in future updates. Tysm!
