Ah thanks! It was defo a bunch of happy accidents :D

Thanks so much!!

Genuinely great. It feels very polished and the game design on show is incredibly mature for a jam game, I hope you expand it for a full game. The mechanic has serious legs!

Ahh this is great, absolutely keep working on it, with a few more things to do, a bit more interaction in the battling minigame it could be a really good spin on creature ranchers!

Ahh thanks so much, and thanks for hosting a really nice jam!

Thanks again for playing it on stream, it was a real highlight of the jam!

Very fair feedback, for a fuller version I’ll defo be leaning into the zelda gameplay a lot more!

Ah thanks so much for playing! Very understandable I didn’t mean for it to be such a long game or I would have tried to prioritise save / load more

I’m very glad you enjoyed it!

My games a little on the longer side so I’d recommend only playing a little bit on stream to get through more of the incredible games the jams brought out!

Honestly, they’re only the worst part because everything is so high quality! I think the platforming game feel is such a solid base for a big exploration based game, I’m a sucker for that kind of gameplay though, loved it! Thanks for making it!

Absolutely loved the platforming parts! Genuinely really solid exploration, the art style is fantastic, I can see how much care you put it into and I just wanna say you’ve smashed this jam out the park!

I was not really fond of the battling, it was a cool concept but the balancing is wildly off, that giraffe fight was brutal, and then it bugged out afterwards, 4 animals is the point I felt like it had gone on too long and only carried on to climb the skyscraper, but then it bugged out at the end and I was stuck in the giraffe area, I dunno if there was more platforming after that but it did leave a sour taste, these things happen though and I don’t think it’ll impact how awesome your game is, I absolutely think you should keep working on it though, maybe pull back on the battling and develop the world a bit more, at least for me that was the more interesting part of the game. This is all my perspective though, you should really do whatever it is that you have fun making, you’re clearly going places with a skillset like this!

p.s. this is the area I got stuck, is the game supposed to end here?

Really cool visual look, I made it pretty far but everytime I played I died from running out of health, maintained low sanity always though!

It forced me to make a lot of hard choices and then I had to deal with the consequences. Solid game dude!

small visual bug where you can keep pressing enter on the start screen and it restarts the animation.

Completely didn’t realise it was gonna be a horror game haha, I’m not good with spooky stuff so it did get me at “the bit”. Well done though, not my genre but can’t fault it, you could absolutely make a bigger version of this, unreliable gameplay UI is an underused narrative device in my opinion and you smashed it!

I defeated the god of thunder and lightning!!

Good stuff, one piece of feedback that would make it a bit nicer to play would be basing the left/right direction of where you shoot on the the side of the character the mouse was clicked.

Really good atmosphere, I enjoyed the puzzles once I got the hang of it but got stuck at the rules of three section, I looked at the hints but it didn’t help too much.

Honestly really good work though, I think if you’re going forward all of the hints have to be baked into the game experience, defo needs enter to submit as well.

I think starting off with a few much easier puzzles to make the player understand they are playing through escape room style puzzles that don’t rely on the actual information on screen would be good too, I spent a lot of time reading carefully and constructing my answers around the text rather than looking past the text and finding the answer between the lines.

Really good work on the presentation though!

Ah thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it, I agree the text of links awakening can be very tricky to read sometimes, I think when I add more to the game I might double the resolution to have more clarity, maybe go for minish cap style art!

Thanks so much for playing! I completely agree with all your comments, it’s very dull having to farm the stores, I wish I had time to add a way to maybe pay a bit of money to restock the shop again, it would have cut down the farming the store gameplay which was not intended, just a byproduct of running out of time haha

I made a Zelda Stardew game where the crops are your key items :D https://itch.io/jam/acerola-jam-0/rate/2583180

This is way too kind! I’m so happy you had a good time with it, I wanted more than anything to have a feeling of completeness to the game so that’s really nice to hear!

Really nice work! This is just a great Pico 8 game, let alone jam game!

Super digestible puzzles too, some stumpers for sure, but laid out in a way that doesn’t block your progress for too long! Good stuff!

I was in near permanent debt, I thought I’d be better at gambling rats than this!

Ahh woah, that’s such good feedback, I’m super grateful for it and couldn’t agree more about the proposed changes, I really wish I put a mute button for the music completely slipped my mind.

Its my first pixel art game in unity so the resolution stuff is new, but I’ll defo be looking into making it pixel perfect post jam.

I’ll be sure to check your game as well, when I start playing through them all on the weekend

Thanks so much!

Thank you!! That means a lot!

Ah thanks so much, I think it’s mine too, I didn’t realise it until recently but it’s just a really solid zelda game!

Thanks Brad :D

I made a top down zelda farming game where the crops can be key items but also sometimes mimics https://bumbleborn.itch.io/echo-comet-coast

I’ll absolutely add yours to my list to ay and rate this weekend

Ahh that’s a cool thing to do

My game is a zelda / stardew valley crossover https://itch.io/jam/acerola-jam-0/rate/2583180 I’ll totally have a play of yours :D
