Newbie?

Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.

How does your game fit the theme?
The game is about a squirrel who has just started to learn magic after being left to his own devices by a school system without enough acorns for teachers. He is just "getting started".

So funny and hard for me(maybe because I have claws instread hands) but i like it.

I would appreciate it if you rated our game

Developer

Ty, I will take a look at yours when I have time.

Submitted

This was super hard for me, I exploded so many squirrels (acorns?) because I was being impatient. Fun game.

Developer(+1)

I experienced that with playtesters lol, they went back and forth between orbs without needing to and stuff like that. Glad you enjoyed it tho, thanks!

Submitted

Fun but surprisingly difficult for such simple mechanics! Squirrel is really cute too!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

fun game!! i like how the circles move according to the beat

it was kinda hard but really fun

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

The game is fun. I haven't played much rythm games yet but it was good. The only thing is it was hard, well i dont know about other people but yeah it was hard for me. But playing it was fun, great work!

Developer

Thanks! The game is definitely meant to be reasonably difficult, especially by the last level. I probably could have afforded to add a bit slower of scaling, but I just didn't have the time to make another level or two, as they took easily a few hours per level.

Fun game. Nice, creative, but surprisingly hard game mechanic. It seems very simple, but it is actually quite hard. I like it! great job! edit: and great music that fits the game mechanic well!

Developer

Thank you :)

Submitted

Nice art, can be a little slow at times

Developer

Thanks! Slow is definitely the opposite of what I've heard from most people, you might just be really good at it lol. The first level definitely is slower imo, but if you didn't try it yet you should try Press Start, the 5 star level, after beating the first one and unlocking it - it's way more difficult.

Submitted

Great job.

Developer

Ty :)

Nice concept with a good difficulty progression and squirrels with magic wands is a beautiful idea i love it!

Developer

Thanks you!

Submitted

Adorably goofy and it definitely shows you had fun making the game, would love to see more levels in the future (if you feel up for making more of course!)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! This was certainly really fun to make, and I might go back to it at some point to add more, especially if it does well in the jam and shows a good amount of people like it. 

This game is as fun as it's difficult - idk if its just that im mad trash at rhythm games. Good job and congrats on the good good idea, it could easily be expanded with more levels and orbs

Developer

Thank you! It's definitely a bit of a difficulty curve, especially if you've not played games like this before, but as long as you enjoyed it skill doesn't matter.

This was a real enjoyable game, soundtrack made it feel like a rhythm game but with paying attention to platforms.  The Squirrels are weird and I dug that.

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

Submitted

This is a truly unique experience, nice job team! The music fits the vibe really well and some of the jumps get pretty intense when paired with the techno music. The squirrel drawings are super cute, and I liked the little library area. The gameplay mechanic is pretty fun and I liked having to time my jumps with the different obstacles. One critique is that I wish there was a bit more of a visual cue to indicate to the player when the platforms would disappear, sometimes you had enough time to wait a bit and sometimes you had to jump right away, but the visual indicator of transparency was the same for both. Overall, I had a good time with my playthrough, keep it up!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the kind comment. I completely get that critique, if I ever revisit this idea I'll keep it in mind for sure and try to do something about it.

Submitted

Its a great game and music helps in timing the jumps, I would suggest adding a score board and combo multiplier. I really liked the feature when your acorn is just near the orb and the orb catches it. It actually gave me relief at few jumps and I thought I missed the orb.

Developer

Thanks for the rating and feedback!
