Really enjoyed the visual style and colors. The map was nice, though would have liked a bit of sprint to get around. Level design was very nice and had good use of objects to break it up. (Little wood plank bridge was nice touch) Great job.

Thanks for the feedback on our game! We're happy to hear you appreciated the visual style, colors, and level design. We'll consider the sprint feature for future projects; it's a great suggestion. A lot of complaints were about the character controller which was made hastily, so no surprise there ! :')
On another note, Maplewood Mysteries was a standout! The autumn setting was spot-on, and the twist of playing as a raccoon detective was a delightful surprise. Your attention to detail really shone through. Well done!
graphically great jam entry!
I got a problem with the flow of story and exploration as I did not found it natural and interesting tho, exploration was also tricky by the overwhelming blockers being present in most unexpected places, but with proper sound and story with some mechanics helping it, this might be a base for some nice game in the future!
Thanks for pointing that out! We're glad the graphics resonated with you. We do recognize the challenges with exploration and the story flow. We initially had more ideas of gameplay and "puzzles", and the controller was done too quickly It's something we'll reflect on. Your perspective gives us a fresh look at where we can improve.
Bravo on the visuals and cozy vibes, they really shine through! I especially liked the scratch effect on the cards. There were a lot of places I got caught on the map like little stones and stuff, maybe reduce the friction on the player character so they can sail over some of those little bumps and it will give an overall smoother playthrough. Really pretty colors though, great entry!

BooCake CafeThank you so much for the feedback on our game! We're thrilled you enjoyed the visuals and noted the scratch effect on the cards. We'll definitely consider your advice about the player's movement for future projects. By the way, BooCake Cafe gave us some good laughs! The wacky controls for the kitty's paw were both challenging and entertaining. It's a fun twist! Keep up the great work!
You went above and beyond with aesthetic and coziness for this one! A bit bare bones mechanically but the overall vibes of this easily make up for that.

The concept of searching for "The Autumn Planet" is incredibly imaginative! I'm impressed with your ability to create such a detailed and intriguing game, especially considering it's your first time using Godot. Your dedication to the project really shines through, and the idea of keeping notes for clues adds a nostalgic touch. Great job!
Stunning visuals, great music choice! Walking around discovering things felt fun, I even found a secret cozy place with a campfire, really really good. Nice job!

COLORS OF FALLThank you for the wonderful feedback! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the visuals and music. Discovering that campfire is one of those little moments we hoped players would stumble upon to make the experience richer. Your kind words are truly encouraging, especially considering the limited time we had to bring this game to life. Thanks for playing Autumn's Lost Recipe!
I had the pleasure of playing your game, and I must say, controlling a leaf-loving cat was absolutely adorable! The concept is unique, and the execution was really polished. Kicking trees and collecting leaves felt satisfying and fun. It's evident that a lot of thought and care went into the game. Well done!
I love the choice of colors used for this place! Feels super chill and cozy! It took me a while to get to the end but I finally managed to beat it. I ran into a bug where the game softlocked on me when pressing Esc while a text box showed up but aside from that I didnt run into any other issues. For what you managed to make in only 2 days, i'd say this game turned out really well, nice job!
