Its so beautifull on graphics, and its fun, but unfortunatly I had a bug on many times, the bug is when I was pressing "A" and was trying to change to right direction, pressing "D" didnt work, and the character it was still walking on left direction. But really good game!

Thank you for your feedback and the appreciation for our game's graphics and fun factor!
I'm genuinely sorry to hear about the bug you experienced.
We'll look into this issue with the "A" and "D" controls.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention. s2

Simple but cool gameplay, beautiful graphics and perfectly matched sounds. I think this game is already in perfect condition, there's not much you can change. Great job!

Really Good!!! Gameplay was very simple but the candy making the character fatter was funny. I enjoyed the atmosphere in general, sound + music + art. I think some form of powerup system/score system would make the gameplay feel a lot better, since that felt like the weakest part of the game. Maybe make it more like a shmup? That would be cool

Developer

Thank you very much for your input.
Yeah, you have a point.
After all, I've been thinking and receiving good feedback to make something that way.

Had fun playing! Couldn't tell if this was an endless mode or not. Your presentation was amazing!!! Looking forward to seeing more from y'all!

Developer

Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
To clarify, it's not endless, and it has ten waves separated by the witch getting angry.
Now we are more aware of the necessity of having it more clear.
Thanks again.

Good game! I really liked your drawing and idea in general.

Developer(+1)

Super thanks!
We appreciate that it resonated with you.
We used the DALL·E 3 and Krita tools in the process. :)

Funny, isn't it?
I'm glad you liked it.

Pretty artwork! I must say the game also felt slow for me

Developer

Thank you very much! s2
Yeah, many people agree with you.  We'll update the speed for the next update.
:D

I liked your visuals, main menu, character movement and enemy. 

Developer

It's lovely to read this! s2
We put much effort into the art and theme for a polished match.

I'm incredibly impressed with the visuals! The gameplay was a little slow for my taste but I did enjoy the concept of candy slowing you down

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!
We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the visuals.
We'll definitely take note of your comment on the gameplay speed.
The concept of candy slowing down the player was a unique twist we wanted to try out.

Really cute game!

The graphics are absolutely beautiful, especially for a 3 day jam!

I love me some good rhyming lines, so thank you for that, and I liked the health mechanism, each candy slowed you down, right? Fun way to implement than just hearts or a health bar!

Developer

Thank you for your lovely feedback!
We're thrilled you enjoyed the graphics and the effort we put into the jam.
The rhyming was a fun touch, and we're glad you noticed! s2
Yes, each candy does slow you down - we wanted to give a unique twist to the health mechanism.
So happy to hear that it added to your experience.
Thanks again for playing and sharing your thoughts!

I liked the art and everything that had to do with the visuals. I think that the gameplay was fun but a bit clonky. You could add a score counter as well as a healthbar. I am sure that it will become a great game if you keep working on it :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and the appreciation for our visuals!
We're always looking to improve, and your suggestions about the gameplay and additional features are duly noted.
We're committed to enhancing the game experience, and your support motivates us.
Thanks for believing in our potential! s2

Cool game and nice art style.  a health bar for witch or score to indicate progression  would be nice .

Developer

Thank you for the positive feedback on the game and art style!
We appreciate the suggestion about adding a health bar for the witch or a score for progression.
In fact, many people shared the same concern.
It's valuable input like yours that helps us improve.
Thanks for playing! s2

Very polished entry, the graphics and audio are superb. The game itself is rather simple, but I managed to beat the witch!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!
We're delighted that you enjoyed the graphics and audio.
Although we kept the gameplay simple, especially given our long hiatus from game jams, we were excited to experiment with some new elements this time.
It's wonderful to hear you had fun and triumphed over the witch! s2
