Interesting concept. Lovely artwork and sound design. I can't finish the 2nd Level xD. How many levels have you done ? Good work.

Developer(+1)

There are 11 levels
Have you considered to turn the selection with your mouse wheel?

Submitted

yes i do. But i always find the tresure or i cannot dig the part i select

Submitted

I like hexagons. Good job! At first I thought I just won right away after "winning" the first level haha. Since everyone here knows the game jam theme they can probably figure out that you should restart the game and try to not dig up the flowers. If I didn't go into the game already knowing the theme, I probably would have thought that that was just the end of the game. I am dumb. Other than that the rest of the game mechanics were well explained I liked how you had the rules/hints written on the map! 

Submitted

Very fun but a bit hard to understand.

really cool game though!

Submitted

a good polished game, but the theme is missing, & the game runs slow even in a browser, its not too fun to play, the concept is very expandable tho, i wanted so badly to give it 4 stars but i can’t ):

But you can expand on this concept Very well tbh !

Developer(+1)

I don't understand why you think the theme is missing. The theme is failture is progress and in the game you have to fail finding the treasure to get further.

Thanks for the feedback tho.

Submitted

It's a nice idea, to push the idea further, I'd say the better treasures would be objects with something like a backstory or... uh it's hard to explain, but it's clear in my head. Anyway nice game

Submitted

great job! Really cool mechanics. good idea for a puzzle game and also incorporating the topic, by wanting to fail so you can try to find better treasure

Submitted

really cool game! loved the music!

Submitted (1 edit)

Cool puzzle game. Really enjoyed the relaxing music. :)

Submitted

Wow i love this kind of game, it's always hard to make a good puzzle game during a gamejam and i think you nailed it, i also love the visual and the music !

Very nice and fun game!

Submitted

Fun, some of the puzzles keep changing where the treasure is at making getting back to where I was at an rng experience. It would also be nice to just restart and the level to won on. Puzzles were nice overall and music was relaxing. very nice.

Submitted

Very nice use of the topic. Winning feels unsatisfying so you want to keep losing to make progress. Nice! Your puzzle system is quite fun and requires some careful thought of the player. Good job!

Submitted

Really interesting puzzles

Submitted

Nice idea,  was a little short. Good effort for your first game jam! 

Developer

Did you play all 11 levels??

Submitted

No it seemed to end each time on the second level, maybe I was doing something wrong. 

Developer

Try not to find the treasure while using all your available tools

Submitted

Fun little game! The music really makes this a fun experience. Also great brain tease :D

Submitted

Excellently-presented and original, incredibly challenging. Impressive. :)

Submitted

found it too confusing to know what to do

Submitted

Really cute visuals and really over the top amount of polish. Only thing I feel that you could have added a little bit of that "game juice" (screenshake, more particles, postprocessing etc) since the game can look a little static at times. But the artstyle definitely makes up for that so no worries :D Also I didn't really grasp whether or not you followed the jam theme, but that's not essential so it's ok. Good luck with your projects :D

Submitted

Also I forgot to mention that it took me a while to figure out the fact that i can rotate the tool selection with the mouse wheel, maybe the tutorial could have been a little bit clearer (sorry if I sound like I'm criticizing you too much please don't take it personally I'm just trying to give you constructive feedback with the best of intentions :) )

Developer

game jam theme 'failure is progress'
in this game you need to fail to find the legendary treasure (in the levels) - even if the game says that you won you actually lost.

So in my opition the jam theme is exactly followed.

Submitted

Lovely visual art style.

Nice music and fun to play. 

Maybe some extra explanation what to do would help, but it was fun and entertaining to play :)!

Submitted

I also like this game a lot and agree with whak Vizipokemon said: At the beginning it is not clear what is expected. And there should not be a fall back to level one. After all, it is a well made puzzle game, the theme feels like just put on top of it and does not help to make the game more interesting. So I suggest to keep on polishing the game after the jam and just get rid of the treasure hunt where you are not allowed to get the treasure.

Having said that: from a philosophical perspective you did it very well, winning is easy, but loosing is the actual fun. In this way: perfect for this jam :-)
