This one oozes charm, character and warmth. Great alignment with the theme and requirements. I was lucky to experience the game with 3 players and things went smoothly. I would love to see more depth introduced to the core loop, this could easily be a party favorite. A great entry as usual.

My review is based on the gameplay video posted on youtube.  I wasn't able to play the game being the only player online and also I got WebSocket errors when reloading the game page. 

Your game's look and feel reminded me of the earlier versions of Pokemon games. Setting up a multiplayer game in that genre is itself very unique. I loved the whole pixel art in the game. I would recommend a mechanism where if there is only one player your room gets filled with bots. Also, I am not sure if the players were meant to go through cliffs, houses, or water tiles.  Great job by your team and I wish you all best of luck in this competition.

the whole level is one big sprite haha, we originally planned to create a level with houses and walls which would had collisions but were not able to make it due to some problems. 


The issue with bots was that i some exp with photon and less exp with ai bots hence i just went on creating a only multiplayer version since the theme also required multiplayer in the beginning

But i am glad you like it 🙂


We are def planning to add bots and improve the multiplayer feature of the game
