Here's my game if you want to play :)
Welcome to Duckbound, a light-hearted turn-based RPG that can best be described as if Pokemon and Osu! were combined into one!
Although originally a downloadable, we've just created an in-browser version!

I hope you give it a try!
Just finished the game and left a more elaborate comment on the rating page, very bizarre and fun vibe, definitely enjoyable!
And in terms of if the game has a future, I think it definitely could! I do think I would recommend just focusing on the fun of developing first. I think collecting feedback during a game jam like this is great for trying to develop a more polished game, but I think I could also recommend making multiple short form games to learn and to eventually take that experience into investing more time into a single game. Regardless of what you choose, my biggest hope is that you have fun and have learned a bunch of new things during this jam!
We will be happy if you leave any suggestions and comments to our game :D

Just finished playing your game and left a comment and rating on the page :) Like I said there to, congrats on your first game jam and the game was a very fun puzzle! My feedback is that it might have been a little hard at times (especially with the parts with the orange cubes being shot at you), but way more important feedback is please don't be too hard on yourself with 'buggy and doesn't look the best', I think you made a solid game and you can be proud of it!
Just finished playing your game, I definitely think your game is a bunch of fun! As some people have already pointed out I see in the other comments, it can be slightly frustrating to get softlocked due to not having a way to go back/regain momentum to be able to still make some jumps, but that is nothing some quick polishing can't fix (maybe implementing something to quickly regain that momentum?). Genuinely very creative idea, I had fun!
Hi! The thing I was most undecided on was the difficulty of my game. I didn't want it to be too easy but I didn't want everyone to be unable to beat it either. I think I got a good level down, but let me know what you think (oh and if it's fun, cause I mostly ran with the theme of the jam)! https://itch.io/jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3732731
Edit: Just went and played and rated your game! So good wow good job
Hello, I'm thinking to make this jam idea into a commercial game, if the gameplay only taking photographs , how much do you think you want to pay to buy the game ?
Are you going to change your opinion about the price if I were to add story and interactable npcs ? What should I add to make you want to buy the game ? Thanks in advance for playing and dropping a feedback.

I couldn’t think of many good levels to make due to time, and would love to hear your ideas for new ones!
