I love pixel art, it's so adorable! Great job!

Happy new year!

This was a very good spend 15 minutes. Really nice cozy game, something that I really needed today, thank you <3

I really enjoyed the mood, the graphics, dialogues, characters. A relatively simple game, but quite rewarding.

The takodachis fight was also very nice, I had to repeat it few times even, so that was definitely a challenge. It also reminded me of a certain fish lady or old turtle fight from certain fox's game, so surprise bonus points.

For improvements, if you would like to continue with this a little bit more, I would add more mini-games, like the takodachi one. To go more into wario-ware style. It could be interesting as an exercise and would add more to the game as well.

And if I remember correctly, after going up using biboo stones and then destroying all of them, the camera may not return to the default position. It fixes itself after entering any room, so no biggie, it was the only realy struggle that I experienced.

Super adorable entry, cute graphics and theme really comes together. The cookie game was quite a challenge, took me a good few tries. And the jokes are spot on. Well done!

Fun little game with funny dialogues.

That cookie defender minigame got intense real fast.

I liked going around and spamming the decorations.

Happy New Year!!


Some improvement suggestions:

- You can still move while transitioning between rooms. Would be nice to have the game stop responding to player inputs (including the interact key) once a room change has started and only restore it after the transition has finished.

- The cookie minigame should only be available after talking with the takodachi, who gives the context for the game.

- Would be nice if interactable NPCs had a floating icon over their heads, to bring the player's attention to them.

- The dialogue box covers the characters when they are at the top of the screen. Maybe move the box to the bottom for this interaction.

- The UI doesn't scale well on ultrawide monitors. Make sure you set the right anchors for your UI elements, so they work on different aspect ratio screens. You can test them out in the editor by changing the settings for the game view.

Cute little game! I enjoyed the Christmassy atmosphere, overall very chill. (Aside from those Takodachi).

Cute!  Fantastic work.  I loved the vibes, it's just so nice and chill. I had a lot of fun.  The art is really cute, and the story is really sweet.

I feel like the music restarting every time you enter or exit a building gets a bit jarring or gets a bit old fast, but that's a common issue in games.  Although I did notice that if I press E multiple times, it'll start the music multiple times when it loads the next level.  That was funny to discover, and see how many iterations I could start at once.  But that also cleared up on re-entering a door, so that's not even that bad of a bug.

Cute little game!


Always nice to see all the mascots and their personalities, including for the graduated members.


I'm not sure if I managed to just skip it or break something,, but I couldn't get to the shrimp, and managed to get to the end without interacting with them, despite my attempts to break the ice (no pun intended)


But overall a nice bite sized experience with some good art!

And I like that you can spam decorations all over the place if you want to lol

It is a really cute game. There is a minor bug with ultra-wide monitors but other than it is a cute game.

Cute adventure game. All the mascots interacting was fun, though the takodachi mini game is quite intense compared to the rest of the game.

Submitted

Very cute little game. Good job.

A cute little adventure game involving all the fan mascots of HoloEN.  I was caught a little off-guard with the Takodachi cookie minigame and it took me a second try to finish.

What I liked most was just seeing the personalities of every single fan mascot.  From the pebble talking about MOTIVATION to the Chattini getting stuck in a tree because of jetpack shenanigans, it was all just good fun to see it all.

Overall though, just a very simple game and just going around to explore was enough to figure out what to do.  There were some bugs such as an audio/music playback bug if you spammed the interact button (E) with a door enough times.

Oh, and Happy New Years!

Very cute game! I liked seeing each of the different fan mascots.

Really fun and calm game. There is a small bug with audio. If you press interact key many times while changing places (the transition shadow or whatever is covering the screen) after changing the place. music will start playing multiple times. And if you press it even faster, you can break your camera :)
