really intuitive, but I also like the bits of solving and discovery within it (including the "oh $#*%, my hammer left click doesnt do anything to them!" as they charge you haha). +1 to the not having to backtrack being a nice quality of life piece! I really liked how much the ghosts stood out from their style / shader on them - great work! =] 

(a few small recommendations: 

- the acquiring animation maybe can be skipped if its something you've already collected before / smaller if so. 

- I also wound up in the near-end room || before the drop || where the group of enemies didnt seem to register me hitting them with the throw when they normally would. After kiting them out a fair while and leading them back in they were able to be damaged again)

nicely done! I especially like the enemy debuffs as part of the selections =]  I am still a bit uncertain about what the circles are, but didn't distract from enjoying it

very cute game =]   and I'd feel bad for the frogs but also... they're evil! =o 

I think a slightly longer warning for a spawn location below you / checking for no player below would be a nice tweak; had at least one pop up right under me and couldn't scurry away in time :sweat:

Love the look and overall vibe of the game! :) also, really like the mini-game like interactions for the sharpening and smithing

I couldn't figure out what to do after selling the dirt sword tbh, but very nice regardless =] 

really creative approach on this!  ( to be honest, I do agree with another post on it being difficult to tell at first if it was the level restarting or the light going out ) -- nicely done :) 

I found it fun to keep trying on this one, and got the hang of it on the first track, but didn't fully understand how it worked for brittle mountain -- was it it on the tempo or the notes for that part ?and are the enemy movement / animation cycles hints towards those? =o  great work regardless, just was curious on those as tips for next play through =]  

Took me a little while to get the hang of, but once I got the controls going, I was a bit thrown off by the balloon portion;  I did a loop with the smoke on, but do I need to do the loop around the balloon? 

turning was a little sensitive but overall fun to try and fly around still! =] nice work folks! 

very nicely executed =]   I do like how the placeholder audio has an element of "echoes" to add to the loops too 

I really like how the tracks even have different "strengths" of influence on the bar!  =]  it could be overpowered but what if the volume sliders could affect their influence on mood? (apologies if this is in place but think it only impacted for the audience ? )

(Not sure if intentional or not but did accidentally "drop" one of my tapes off screen when trying to put it in the player )

excellent work! =]

Very cozy art and concept =] the (poor things!) cows were a little tricky to see how you were maneuvering them, but great work! =]  ( I'd agree with a few other suggestions on potentially dragging the cows once lassoed, but I think even a capsule shape or less spinning on them would help make them a lot easier to guide around! )

As mentioned by others, I do appreciate the ability to walk over areas and clear them as it also helps to clear up any mistakes! One small suggestion below, but nice work! (I also really like how the spray-paint effect turned out btw)

One recommendation for a possible improvement is to give a tiny bit of leniency in amount covered vs uncovered. So instead of something like 100% coverage, maybe 95% required? and if you still want to encourage the 100% you could start a small countdown at that point for someone to try and sneak in the last 5% -- Players who planned ahead would have an easy time finishing up, others might undo their progress unintentionally while trying to search for those remaining patches!

If they DID stoop that low, were they truly friends to begin with??  =P

Thank you so much for playing and your feedback -- it could be a very interesting followup project to make this local multiplayer :D

Thank you for playing, and your feedback -- also very glad to hear you enjoyed it :)  

(We did want to include a tutorial level, and maybe we can still add one after the Jam to help roll out the mechanics!)

really tricky but very fun  =]  I really like the way you did the intro story & the sentry/drones

(just so you know, it did seem to crash on my PC before it would load to a checkpoint / after death, but still had me coming back for multiple tries! )

10 fresh fish. Meow friend, Meow.

very fun and challenging game =] really liked when the wands came in too -- kept me on my toes as soon as I started to get more familiar / savvy!

Watching the arms extend is very satisfying~ and I imagine it would very much confuse a neighbor dog trying to come to bully the cats!

PewPew! 

I might also recommend something like a confirmation or a separate button than R for the reset -- especially with the shooting, I found myself hitting "R" for reload and resetting >____<

Very lovely artstyle and sound - (do +1 to the screen shake slider perhaps tough) -- nice work :)

love the adorable Sous Chef! I wish I could give him head-pats while he's helping and I'm stuck just waiting though

very cute game, nice work folks! :)

A few thoughts as I was playing: I think being able to sprint as much as you want feels a bit overpowered, so perhaps a drawback (besides perhaps stamina bar approach) could be something like.... sometimes if you sprint too far away, the kittens will start losing you / wandering off? or maybe the "old hag" puts out small bowls of food to try and lure those stragglers and make it easier for her to catch them! :O

Had a nice giggle right out the gate with this little furball! :) as a sort of possible future feature, I can imagine a "drop to ground/nosedive" to help re-align your upcoming jumps (even if it had a longer cooldown mechanic). Couldn't get past the small slime floor but had a nice time trying to get past -- nice work! :) 

Very fun take on the genre, the timed aspect of each round did make it quite a different experience =] 

I do wish for some speed controls on it perhaps, even if it means speeding up the enemy a bit too! it could be helpful to see when the enemy is going to attack as well, though it did lead to some fun risk-reward gameplay with choosing cards.

Nice job! :)

Thanks for the feedback! :) updated the gameplay loop to be more constrained now to get to the more interesting parts, but definitely would love to see more features given more time

Thank you for the feedback! 

Loop now has a timer so the round can only last a max duration (but you can still lose if they claim all your tiles!), and get to the later stages easier :)

I believe you can send them directly to the page for the game (rather than the ranking) for them to play, but maybe the game is not set to public? 

absolutely love the art! Found myself wanting to play more levels than available, but one thing that I did feel a little spun by -- as far as I could tell, the perma-fly buff didnt seem to let me do anything different (was expecting maybe I could fly over gaps for instance?) It also made me wonder if maybe I could normally do a single gap and the flying let me do multiple (which also could not, as far as I could tell)

Great work, and I might just have to play a few more times -- even the upgrade icons are too cute ! :)

very cute game, and really relaxing with the music =] 

really feel like it hit the mark on the limitation too -- was at the end door with a nice bit of loot waiting.... woke the dragon at the exit door, haha!

Nice work :)
