I was so lucky to pick this game for the stream. Absolutely lovely cute lovable experience all around! Did I play it to the end? After the session it came to my mind to take the scarecrow and go one more time to the village... Would something have happened there? https://youtube.com/live/pxOUASRSPeY

Hey Miikka! We had a lot of fun watching you play it. Indeed you can use the scarecrow to get to the east towards the village. However right now there will only be a small "End of game/Thank you"-Message from Linda and me there. So you've basically seen all that's there to see :)

Captivating & Cute Art Style! 

Introducting Controls to the player in-game is always a good experience & would rather spend time doing that as opposed to reading controls (ironic cause in my game I had to write them & couldn't give it in game 😂)

THE CHARACTER ATE THE SPACE BAR YOO! IT TOOK ME BY SUCH A SURPRISE HAHAHA!
I HAD TO EAT THE START TO START. HAHAHA AMAZINGG!!!

Polished game. Definitely made by experienced devs ☺

However, some feedback on stuff would be nice like when water inhaled & planting water & such just more visual expression! 

Off game review - Itch page made to match game color  palette leaves a good first impression 😁

So this is what Kirby would do in their free time huh. Very charming game with amazing visuals and sfx! My only gripe would be that it's sometimes hard to know what you're supposed to do, like I didn't realize for like 8 minutes that the water pond is actually next to the crops, until I looked at the game page to see the gif where you gathered some water. Other than that small thing, really great entry!

The art and sound effects are perfect! Great game.

Nicely made! I really enjoyed the dialogs and sense of humor! Everything fits well together. Just wish there was bit more challenge to the game ;)

Thank you for playing and leaving feedback. I totally agree! We thought about adding a little action by having the neighbor shoot at puffy and the player having to dodge, but were not able to implement it in time.

This was a really memorable one... the moment you suck up the spacebar and turn all wideboi, I couldn't stop smiling. Just amazing little touches everywhere that really displays care and quality.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words :)

Really good game. It could be improved with better explanation on what to do next, or where should I go. Cause it was hard to find the mailer dog. I guess it's because the path to the neighbor house is kinda narrow/hidden.
I wish there was more content to play with. It feels like a good foundation for a kirby-like sandbox game. Good job.

Developer

Thank you very much! We had many more ideas and actually wanted to add the town area in the east, but had to make adjustments, because of time constraints which is why the post dog is rather hidden. Maybe we will continue development in the future :)

Really well polished. Love the concept and felt good to play. The dialogue and characters were cute, everything just meshed really well together. Could definitely see this as a full game! Going to come back and rate it once I get through the queue!

Unable to rate this submission yet, but I have to leave a comment - please polish and turn this into a finished game! Really enjoyed it, very cute and satisfying to play. Similar idea to what I was going with my game, but executed and polished beautifully.

Thank you for the kind words. Would love to check out your game as well, but there seems to be nothing to download? :(

Submitted

That is so strange - I've sent a message in discord. I uploaded the day before the deadline - I wonder why it's not showing. Looks like 2 people have rated already without letting me know :(
 

Developer (1 edit)

Looks like you don't have a platform selected. Probably just need to check the box for windows and the game will show up for people.

I actually have your game in my queue now, so let me know once it can be downloaded and I will check it out and give a fair rating :)

Submitted

Thanks - looks like its sorted now. I had windows sslected originally, just not in that screenshot. The issue was that Public access setting on the top was ticked. But we're all good now! Again, my game is a mile away from what you have both achieved here. Getting through my queue now to give it a proper rating!
