They buried him under the big tree

Thanks for playing! I was going for the hand drawn feel so I drew all the sprites and the background on paper, then scanned them with the printer.

Yeah! I played your game, the storytelling there was exceptional. I can see a lot of similarities in our narratives 👍

Thank you! I was mainly focusing on the storytelling + music for this one so I'm happy you liked it. I can let you know when the game is out in full!

Yesss I'm going to finish the game after the jam ends! I can let you know when I'm done

Heheh, I wanted the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA scene to be kinda funny/lighthearted but also portray how serious the situation is, glad it stuck with you :)

Haha yeah I focused mostly on the narrative for this jam so glad you liked it. Thanks for playing!

Thanks! Like yours too 👍👍👍

Hehe, thanks :)

Yes I was going for a sad story so thank you! The ending I was planning was going to be pretty tragic too but I didn't get to finish it.

Thanks for playing 👍

Almost 😭

This is a really deep game.

I love the inspiration rooted in Latin and Roman mythology!

Beautiful art and music. It must take a lot of effort to make all the paintings and the progressive music. Saturn's figure also kind of feels like Disco Elysium haha

Gameplay is simple but it still fits the theme and is very enjoyable. It would be nice if you can see the clock arms' original position after you've moved them, and if you can reset the clocks.

Would also be nice if you can press a button to show all the narrative elements instead of going character by character.

Amazing game!

Thank you for reminding me to always kiss the homies goodnight

This is a really nice game!

Nice art and feel. The music is a banger. There's a pause after it ends before it starts again and I thought something would happen hahaha...

It's hard to get the hang of it at the start, a tutorial would be nice. The game was also going really really fast at the start especially when I had no idea what was happening, so slowing it down would be nice.

Otherwise, this is basically like a completed game lol.  Great work

Cute little game :D love the graphics and music, the cats are sooo cute!

Was a bit hard to get the hang of things so a tutorial would be nice. But once I did, the game was actually pretty fun!

A funny thing is once I completed the level the music transition made me feel like something bad was gonna happen haha.

Looking forward to seeing new levels!

Seems like the other chefs got skill issue and are jealous of Chef Mike's undoubtable expertise. Hahaha

This is a really fun game! Also feels polished too. The art and music is simple but great.

I found the ice cream upgrade the most helpful because the enemies come at you pretty fast. (On a side note, cooking an ice cream in a microwave is absolutely legendary)

This game could go a lot of ways. You can add more enemies/bosses or more upgrades - maybe the times it takes for the microwave to countdown can decrease?

Great game!

Great game!

I love the whimsical feel. The music and art brought it forth really well.

The concept is really great too! Counting down the forms, each having their own abilities, has a lot of potential you can expand on.

The collision could use some improvement because the player sometimes falls through the floor and interacting with things such as the trampolines don't work sometimes.

Really really great job for a first jam game.

W game. It's pretty funny how the graphics are all telling you it's a serious deal with the realistic/dark graphics and the camera panning and all that, while what's happening is playing Russian Roulette with a microwave hahahaha.

Would be nice to pause the countdown while you make a decision because you can just cheese the game by waiting it out. (but it wouldn't be very fun. Who doesn't like gambling?)

Most of all thank you for teaching me how to play Russian Roulette. I love gambling.

A countdown to the New Year is actually a really neat take on the theme!

Nice art too!

The addition of voice lines is a very nice detail.

It's a bit hard to grab the food items, they're going really fast.

Otherwise great game!

Woah! How did you make this in 4 days!?

Love the artstyle and the atmosphere in general.

Gameplay is super interesting. I like the platformer and tower defense mix, and there's so much content!

A small question, apart from the start do the birds ever go to the cages on the ground? They always float like one unit-length above the ground.

Nice game!

This is so fun!

You really nailed it with the difficulty. It's a pretty intense game but still fairly beatable!

Also when I saw the modifiers I was like "Waittttttt they're all bad :sob:" hahahaha. That's a nice surprise but some positive modifiers or ones that reverse negative effects would be nice!

The chosen music is great. Adds to the vibe a lot.

The challenges are a bit small and hard to hit even if you're in the right spot and the levers and buttons look really similar. So maybe make them a bit bigger.

Nice game!

Thank you for playing!

I was going for the, you know, "cute and happy atmosphere dark story/implications with deep philosophy" kind of feel to the game, but I didn't realize how dark numbersgame would be until you mentioned it... and now that I think about it... yeah that's kind of dark.

Yeah I had some more stuff done but the game broke at the end of numbersgame. But yes I'm going to finish it! I can let you know when I am done :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, the game breaks after the numbers game.

Thank you for playing though!

Yeah... there was more but the game breaks after you play numbers game :( thanks for playing though!

Underrated game. Really fun to play.

Like the story and the vibe!

Yeah, a sprint button would be pretty nice - I know these bandaids give you sprint for awhile so it would be fun to put more around. Also a map would be cool too!
Also if you get hit by a zombie and not run it just latches on to you and deal no damage. Pretty unsettling.

Nice game for a second jam!

I have contributed 125 clicks to the ten million button 👍

Awesome game!

Very nice artwork. Also it's very quick to understand how to play and get the hang of it.

The game's quite fast and stressful haha but in a fun way though! Hitting the hourglasses is super satisfying.

The movement feels a bit unresponsive at times, so maybe look into things like coyote time. Checkpoints would be nice, and it would be nice if you had a button to restart whenever you'd like on the death screen.

Great job for your first jam and welcome to Unity.

Wow! This game is so cool! I'm so sorry it got pulled from the jam.

Music is such a jam! It fills me with determination

A little suggestion, it would be nice to see some more types of weapons, like different attack styles(eg. bullets maybe?)

The game feels REALLY polished. Like the visual effects and everything. Made it feel so cool.

Awesome game!

Thank you!

Nice idea!

For those who are playing this game, it is best enjoyed in fullscreen because otherwise some elements will be cut off, if I got this right the employees you're supposed to assign it to has to be able to receive the colours of the task that is UNDER THE NAME/EMAIL(you see the folder icons under there?), and there's a specific place under the employee's icon where you can drag stuff to.

Very interesting idea, would be nice if you explained it a bit more.

I was not a very good manager but I feel like the tasks should come slower... this is like the busiest company on the world hahaha

Looking forward to updates!

Nice goofy lil game 👍 The music added to it a lot.

Not really sure what's going on, but from what I've seen the snowmans attack you and everything else gives you special effects? It would be nice to explain it more.

Also it would be nice to have a you lose + high score system because when you die you just respawn and your score keeps going. Also maybe make your bullets deal more damage when they bounce back and hit you?

Very silly, love it

Nice little idea! Kind of gives Build Your Stax if you've heard of it.

I don't know if anyone noticed this but all the stocks' history were the actual real life stocks' prices from the past four days. That was such a great detail. Kudos for doing the research!

Register/login gives request error 422 but I don't know if this is intentional or not.

Would like to see more ways to lose money like the other gambling methods or just in general. Looking forward to new updates :thumbsup:

WOW! Okay that was such a nice game.

Count's down, puzzles are very fun to do. Like they're really cleverly designed.

It would be nice if the movement was faster because it takes quite a long time to get between rooms. Or maybe also make it a bit smoother because it's quite hard on the eyes.

Also, more puns for the dialogue please!

Nice work making this in 4 days!

Nice atmosphere! The music and the screams did sell it quite nicely.

A bit slow at the start, and it's a bit annoying that you have to go that slow every time you restart.

More upgrades would be nice! Or if we get more pieces of the story as the game goes on after each round.

Count your downs is such a cool take!

The game is really fun and engaging!

It's also really, really hard 😭 maybe spawn in more enemies as you go because right now they're just crowding in on me hahaha

Also, nice art, and the sound effects are so cute 👍

Ahhh this game is so funny and I'm so bad :sobsobsob:

Ummm this might be a silly question but where do you get the upgrades? Is it back at the message board? I probably haven't survived long enough to get any hahahaha

Anyways, W game, this was so fun to play!

This was my score on try 5.

Yay thank you :thumbup:

Yeah that's all I managed to get working for the jam :( some bug I made everything after numbers game inaccessible because the game just blackscreens.

But yes I'm definitely going to update it after the jam! I can let you know once I finish

Speaking of numbers game, the cooking version of that that got cut out was absolutely diabolical I know the solution and still can't beat it 😭

Thanks again!

Wait the game can't start? That's weird... it should start right after you press play

I don't know how to fix it but maybe refresh??? because it worked for the other commenter.

I should look into it 👍 thanks for the feedback

Nice art hehe :thumbsup:

I feel like your idea of which clocks are worthy to get is implemented very well by the map design.

It would be nice if there were checkpoints!

Gyahhh I'm so bad at this game 😭

Correct me if you already have this but it would be nice if the cats came slower at the start before you got any upgrades and gradually came faster as the game goes on.

Also it would be nice to have a descriptor for each type of upgrade and what it does.

This game is very silly I love it

This game is so cute!
Yes I agree with the other commenter that the indicators for the type of dog is a bit small and it would be nice to have a identifier for dog type.
Also it's very funny that if you throw the dogs out they drop back in from the sky hahaha
Nice game :thumbsup:

Thanks for the feedback! I saw the +box speed would be a problem but I never knew they would stop spawning entirely. Thank you for pointing that out!
