The My First Jam  version of the game is good. The art is definitely the best part of it, and while I would usually complain about slower games as they can feel a bit padded out, I get that it's part of the whole game's theme, so I won't rate lower because of that. I like how the jam's theme was interpreted.  And while the First Jam version looked pretty good already, albeit with an incomplete ending, a look at the  Pizza Jam version shows just what the full vision was. I think y'all did great for the week we had! If I could give a recommendation since I see it wasn't implemented yet: I wish the game would go to the next stage if you don't make it before 0:00, since right now when that happens, the timer just goes into the negatives until you reach -1 minute.

thank you for playing our game!! Im glad to know that you were able to see where we’re going. Maybe i should have properly communicated about the timer, it was indeed intentional…. Again thank you for taking the time to play and rate our game! :D We appreciate it

It was a chill game. I think the countdown timer for the missions could use some improvement, but it's not that relevant. It could be useful if the stages had some sfx for the some parts (like the rain, or the water flowing, maybe the people complaining on that level if failing). But I think it's a nice idea, very out of the box thinking on this one, like, growing spiritually it feels like a really novel concept for the growing jam.

Your advice was well received and we added some sfx recently. The interesting idea is all accredited to Efalion and Hi_ghost9842! They did a great job!
