How did you incorporate the theme "PATCH IT UP"?
Moths have left holes in everyone’s clothes and you run The Patchshop, matching silly animal customers with the right patch so you can earn enough for rent before the lights go out. You literally "patch it up" by patching up the holes in their clothes with patches.

I like the concept a lot, kind of reminds of the game Papers Please. The game was more challenging than I expected with the cute art but I enjoyed it. I somehow bugged it one time where just clicking randomly on the screen would sometimes skip to the next person but I'm not sure how as I tried again to recreate it but it didn't bug. Anyways, good job. 👍

Whiskers & CannonsI'm slower than most at reading, so for someone like me I think it would be neat if the hint was shown to you with as much time as you need to process it, but the options are kept hidden until you click to continue, at which point the timer would start, (but I don't know if in practice this would have the same flow). I'm impressed with the level of polish you were able to achieve in such a short time.

Magnet Repair ManAmazing game! I really loved the character designs. This is a really cool interpretation of the theme. I like that at points it really makes you think and having to remember certain stuff. I did find some of the hints vague or sometimes stupid at points. I do understand how this is the most rated game in the jam, great job!

Patching Up Our Bottled FriendsAmazing job! This was a lot of fun to play and love the artwork and the variety of characters and patches.

Sprung A LeakThe art and sound are really cute, especially when I get a perfect match! I retried several times to beat Day 3. I read a bit slowly and sometimes have to check the dictionary :) But I still had a lot of fun!

Fix the BugThank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it, even with the challenge. If you click ‘Retry’ on the summary page instead of ‘See Ending,’ you can start again from Day 3 without losing all your progress. After you watch the ending though it restarts the whole game. Just in case you decide to go for the happy ending one day! 😊
Great submission! The artwork is incredible! I really liked the penguin character!

Camp PatcharooThis is super cute :D The silly animal customers gave the game so much personality. Nice interpretation for the jam theme and what a lovely game.

Claire's Tiny WorkshopAmazing game, fantastic art! Very fun and well-balanced in terms of timing and hints.

Ship HappensLovely game, really enjoyed my playthrough!! The artstyle is adorable and I loved how distinct and full of personality each creature was, the variety is very impressive. It was also cool to see a bit of character growth as the days went on; like the vampire cat saying he was "trying this positive vibes thing" on day 3 lol. The writing is super solid. The gameplay is simple but the timer gives it a good amount of challenge and makes for a fun logic puzzle. Y'all did an awesome job with this entry, and there could be real potential for a larger game here imo, nice work!!

Stuffed Unicorn SurgeonThank you so much for such a thoughtful comment!! I’m really glad you enjoyed the variety of characters and noticed the little bits of growth in the writing; that means a lot. I was curious if the timer felt like the right kind of challenge, so it’s great to hear it worked for you as a fun logic puzzle. Your encouragement about the potential for a larger version really made my day 🙂 Thanks for playing and making me smile!
Almost perfect game! When you've given the costumers what they've wanted, just say you knew it all along.
Amazing job.

Quick TapeThe art was fantastic. And the amount of characters was mind lowing! The gameplay was pretty good too with the only minor complaint I had being that some of the hints were a little too cryptic lol. Overall a short and cozy game with lots of charm. Thanks for sharing your game!

SEW-TasticThank you so much for playing and sharing your thoughts! I’m happy you enjoyed the art and characters. Haha yes, a few of those hints ended up a bit too cryptic... striking the right balance was tricky and I didn't do enough play testing beforehand to realize that in time! I appreciate you pointing that out, it’s super helpful feedback. Happy you found it cozy and charming overall 🙂
Really cute game! I liked the characters they were really fun. I loved the rat, I thought they would want cheese but it's so funny that they wanted pizza instead, I think NYC rats are famous for carrying pizza around?
Great work though, I had a blast playing this game!

Submarine RaiderThank you!! I’m so glad you had fun with the characters. Haha yes, the pizza rat was definitely a little nod to those famous NYC rats carrying slices around the subway. I’m happy that moment landed for you 🙂 Thanks for playing! I'll be playing you game in the next few days when I have access to windows and I'm looking forward to it!
