Very neat game, personally enjoyed it a lot! Very cute artstyle, and I love that you guys got some enemy ai and minigames action going :D

I also liked the fact that you get to do directional attacks. One thing I'd love to see in this is also a sprint mechanic, would love to see the character run around with his lil crow companion .(Neat addition with the crow following you around btw!!!)

I did notice that when putting the game at fullscreen you get to see the whole map with the light grey void, so you might wanna get that solved eventually. I take it that the experience was meant to be played in windowed mode for the time being? :O

Yeah we didn't think about resizing till after we were out of time for the jam sadly. I'm glad you enjoyed the game! a few more things might be added after the jam ends ^^ stay tuned!

A very short and cute game! I love the little fox and crow, and the art is beautiful. I really struggled with the blocking minigame, though I think I could've gotten it with a second chance. I wonder if there's a different ending if you save the ferret from his disease? 

I also really liked that you can jump on the names in the credits page, it's a very entertaining detail! Shoutout my little crow buddy for doing the talking for me, I'm a shy guy. Great work, and I hope to see more from you guys in the future! 

Developer(+1)

Ahahah yes ! that was a last time addition (the jumping on the names in the credit) sneaky sneaky you found the easter egg 

Submitted(+4)

first thing i want to note, you guys should adjust to let the player make the winder bigger for easier seeing :3 this was a cute little game, and i love the art style from this!! i would love to see more from this, it has a really really good base to it! 

Developer(+1)

Yes we didn't realize until the end that we in fact had to make the size of the game bigger to begin with .. will be in the top priority of fixing

Didnt save the ferret from the plague because i didnt understand the undertale green soul-esque minigame.

Also killed some bandit fellow in a bank and then jumped around in the credits menu overall pretty fun.

Developer(+1)

There is currently no difference if you win or lose the minigame (Death was not implimented for the minigame, we ran out of time ;-;), but either way there's no way to save the ferret from death, just a way to free their soul from the infection. I'm glad you enjoyed the game tho!

Love the art style!!!

Beautiful!

Awww I love the art style!!! I'd love to play a longer version , great job 😄

I loved this easter egg in the background! 

The art was lovely and especially the fox, but I must say the orb minigame was a tiny bit confusing, as I didn't get what my goal was.

But overall great!

Submitted(+3)

Wow, that was really fun but sadly also short. I would have loved to play more! I see so much potential, great work :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! we do plan on making the game a bit longer some time in the far future (This will be my studio's Silksong lmfao)

Haha im looking forward to it >:)

The art style is fantastic! Although.. am I supposed to have been able to defend against the orbs?

Developer

Everyone has struggled with the orb minigame haha. Thank god we didn't have time to implement death. We had in mind to make it easier but ran out of time.

10/10 art 10/10 dialogue gameplay 9/10 for me too floaty but still enjoyed the game nonetheless 

Developer

Awww Kio you are a 10/10

Submitted(+2)

Oh man I loved the art on this one! The game felt super smooth to play and I found the orb minigame to be very challenging but rewarding lol. Great job!

Developer

Glad you had fun !

Lovely art, felt like it could do with a more continuous world and more content, but it was a short jam, the second scene I really struggled to get the controls and respond in time and didn't understand how to block the red balls, felt quite disconnected from scene 1 and 3 as well. 

Developer(+1)

we wanted to introduce a way easier orb minigame but ran out of time so the hardcore version it is XD, the whole game was supposed to be much longer and bigger, maybe for next update ;)  thank you for trying it !

Submitted(+1)

Thanks for making it! I think it'd be great with more content, definitely has potential, 5 days was a short time, especially while learning!

Developer(+1)

Yes for sure ! it was my first time trying Godot XD really hardcore to learn everything on the go

Submitted(+2)

Lovely game concept! The “fight” with the orbs felt a little difficult to master due to pace inconsistencies but manageable after a while! Great job on the art and animations!

Developer

Yes ahahah the orb fight was hardcore (for me) im glad we didn't implement the health bar with the orbs cuz i don't think i would have been able to beat it XDDD

(+2)

It was a nice concept but it feels somewhat unfinished. The three scenes feel disconected and like they're from three different games. The battle on the second scene is lacking any stakes since you can't die, which ends up working in its benefit because the orbs move too fast without any visual indication of their direction. It feels heavily inspired by the Undyne fight in Undertale, but in that you're blocking arrows that are always pointing in the direction you need to block them from. The game also ends quite suddenly. To end this off because I'm worried I'm coming off as overly mean, there are voice actors credited at the end where there's no voice acting present in the game. It was a really interesting concept but it really feels unfinished.

Developer

Yes ! we all wished we could have worked on it longer, we became short on peeps so some of us had to work more than intended and others had to pick up work of the missing one ^^", im glad you recognized the undertale reference minigame (i didn't code that bit but it was the intention to try something similar) we wanted to add the voices but ran out of time ♥ we have them recorded and ready to use so maybe next update they will be on ! thanks for the comment

This was cute! It's short, but I loved the art, and I liked the small platforming bits. The credits screen was really cute!

Submitted(+3)

very cute game! I love the lil crow following us around -- I know there's no death, but lowkey thank GOD cause i was so bad at that soul minigame 😭i would be interested in seeing how the rest of this story goes!! 

Developer(+1)
