Ranked from 22 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The spirit essence loops around in the UI, mechanically intertwined (as spirit allows one screen to dash while the dashing helps find Turtles which helps the first screen with killing snakes to generate more spirit).

Really cute 3D assets!

Protect the turts!

Good job!

I liked the idea of switching between the two worlds, it made it a bit stressful in a good way ^^ 

I do wish more things happened as you collected the five spirits, like maybe you would get new kinds of totems or more enemies would spawn or something like that.

All in all I thought the vibe of the game was really cool, good job!

Developer

We had a couple ideas for weapons and totems but sadly ran out of time. But thank you so much! We wanted it to be a little stressful but overall fun.

Sadly I also discovered a way to fall in the infinite void (so close to the end too!). Does something happen when the great turle's circle is full? I managed to do it but since I couldn't interact with the character at the right anymore I don't know.


I really loved the baby turtles, their model and their sounds, they are so cute!

The gameplay loop with the two characters at once worked well too, I did enjoy having to switch from time to time to kill snakes or fetch baby turtles. I only clipped through the floor towards the end so I did have time to play properly. Great job!

Developer

Hey thanks for playing, the great turtle's circle is the right players dash stamina :)

Oh ok, I thought it was the final objective to win the game. I dashed with the right player but didn't even notice the gauge reacting to it.

Developer

Yeah the game needed a tutorial and some other stuff like a win condition 

Developer

Oh no Thank you for letting us know! The Turtle's circle is actually a resource that helps you find turtles faster by running faster rather then an ending. It's score based, however, that actually sounds like a great idea if we were to expand this in the future. Thank you so much for playing!

Cool game! I love multitask games like this and the back and forth aspect of trying to control 2 characters at once. The character designs are adorable too!

Submitted

Adorable game! I like the idea of switching between the two worlds. I encountered a bug that made my player clip through the floor. Still, great job!

Very nice art and world generation.

Developer

Thank you so much! We actually designed the world, it's the same everytime! Thanks to our coder Ashen

Interesting use of split-screen. The cute turtle sounds are the best :)

Developer(+1)

most of those are just me doing pitched up silly voices, one of them's actually from a TomSka video lol

This is a fantastic idea. I got hooked into the game very fast LOL I think there's so many directions you could go with this.  I think the best is that the systems and mechanics are in place, and they flow so well, I really enjoyed the transition between the two characters.  Good music and SFX, and adorable art.

The game would really benefit from a tutorial level, and the adventure mode character could have a bigger role in the game overall (for instance, giving health to the fighter one). Great play at the theme!

Developer

audio guy here, thank you! :D

Fantastic art!

Thank you!

In my opinion the first level should be a little shorter preferably, other than that kinda unclear on theme fit but nice game otherwise.

Thanks for playing! The theme ties the two characters through resource and upgrade synergy. The Fighter gives dashes to the Adventurer which gives upgrades to the Fighter player by collecting turtles faster. Its a loop of resources. Appreciate your feedback!
