a day/night survival is a cool genre and I like your concept for it! Something is always spooky about having to survive in dark outdoors. The hand drawn art is nice, I like how the map looks overall. The companion is a nice touch, I get sucked into these type of games :D Nice entry!

A decent game entry, and a nice idea. Well done.

Thanks <3

I need more hints to move further T_T

I don't know where to go, and in the night it's getting dark too fast for me, and then I died T_T

Sorry for the confusion! If you check out the How to Play section, it’ll make more sense. It's a real shame we couldn't finish the in-game guide before the deadline😞

Nice game, needed a few playthroughs to get the hang of it but in the end i found all 5 pyrogems and i had my trusty companion to help me :) Enjoyed this very much!

Beautiful game! I like the hand drawn art. The UI and the overall consistency could definitely be better but for a short jam, this is really good. Well doneeee!

The game was made and submitted in a hurry, so we didn’t have time to add a tutorial. I’ve added a detailed guide in the description now :D

This is so cool! From a gameplay perspective this could absolutely be fleshed out into  a full game I think. 

Even for a short-term jam like this I can tell there's some good game design thinking going into this. One of the moments where I saw this was teaching you how to use the ricochet skill by putting enemies facing each other diagonally. The ultimate skill is also pretty good attention to detail. Not a big issue but the game feels pretty easy currently.

Overall this was very fun and I can see this being pretty addictive after some polish (and audio!) :)

Thanks for liking our game! I just fixed the bugs that were stopping some music tracks from playing and made a few balance tweaks to make it more fun!

Mix of tower defence and exploration is a cool mix. In its current implementation however it is a bit too simplistic and easy. Keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback! I built the nighttime gameplay in just 3 days so there wasn't enough time for all the designs, but I've made some balance adjustments today to make it more intriguing!
