Oh such a cute shrimp!! I love the visuals and the story-telling. You did such a marvelous job in such a short time. I do agree with the others that the game is sometimes clunky. I had to click on a specific part of the recipe book to open it and the food gets served to a different customer if I am not careful enough even when I drag the food to the speech bubble. But aside from this minor stuff, I believe you created such a lovely and whimsical game, I'd love to play a full version of it someday!
Lil dumb me was questioning myself the entire time why I got sent back to the starting screen when all I did was catch the coconuts as instructed xD Limitation gets a 5/5 from me definitely!!
This reminds me of those browser games that I used to play when I was younger, so it feels nostalgic to me :') I like that the ice cream serving was uncomplicated, just click through it. But it does get repetitive. If you plan on polishing it even further in the future, I suggest maybe splitting the game play into levels, and add a special mechanic or player. Your game has a lot of potential and great job on creating it despite missing the limitation! ;)
I actually felt sad playing the game because it hits too close to home. This could very well be our reality. You did a phenomenal job with this game, and I am in awe. :)
I enjoyed playing this game! I think the second level was the hardest to do because I did not know how to solve it and there were no hints, good thing I read through the comments and found the way to solve it. And during the treasure level I kept waiting or the treasure to show up, it took me a few moments to realize the treasure was the stuff in general xD Also, I believe a more summery type of music would have enhanced the beach feel even more. But you also mentioned the time constraints, so I feel you on this one :'D Other than that the mini-games were fun, and you played well into the limitations, even using the buttons! Great job!
This game is so charming! I love the witty fishes and the way you drew them. The background and music complement each other so well and it's very atmospheric!
Ahh that was short yet tricky to play! Thanks to a commenter's tip to click when the spark has briefly left the flowers that I was able to reach the ending. Lovely atmosphere and I can see myself playing it again in the future!
I usually don't play these type of games (because of my own skill issue lol) but I can appreciate this game for what it is and the effort you put into making it. The mechanics are really fun, and I got used to the controls, but I kinda agree with the others that the game gets a bit frustrating at times. I think I tortured my barracuda by hard landing on the rocks instead of the water xD That aside, you did a great job!
Hehe thanks so much for playing! That is actually part of the limitation. You see, I thought it would be funny if coconuts did not come from coconut trees, and it evolved from that idea. And you are absolutely right about the interact text, will definitely add that next time. And I did think about adding an inventory to give the player more control of how they should interact or to least see what they have collected and let them guess what the NPCs really want, but I sadly did not have enough time... :3
Thank you, thank you! I really did not expect to receive so much valuable feedback let alone have people play my first game! I actually had some issues with the collision being too big/small, I have yet to find the ideal collision shape. And my boyfriend (sound master) would be so happy to hear the need of sfx! He for example made the sand walking sfx with a box of bulgur and also insisted I added some click sfx but that somehow did not work during implementation, I need to do some more research on that :(
Something about cleaning up stuff just tickles my brain in a good way. I had fun cleaning off the dark stuff, feeding the seals with fish and searching for the blue buttons. I am just unsure about the ending. Was I supposed to hit the satellite? And the audio had a cosmic vibe to it, it does not feel out-of-place in fact it enhanced my playing experience!
I enjoyed playing this game! It is always fun to check out the submissions and see what people can come up with within the time limit :3 Some things I noticed is that it would be nice if the doors/scene change areas were more prominent. For example, I could not interact with the door beside the fridge (Is it even interactable?) and I thought going through this door would lead me to the patio. I realized much later that the entry to the patio is to the left most side of the kitchen. Same goes for leaving the house. Also, when I interacted with the sticky note by the ice cream shop for the second time, the player completely froze, and I had to leave the game to restart.
Aside from that the vibes were very summery just like today's weather! I could feel the struggle of the hot blaring sun :D
This was a fun game, the minigames were simple yet enjoyable and the dialog was heartfelt. At first, I was not so sure how to trigger the luggage tidying objective but after clicking around it somehow worked. The interact text was helpful but blurry, but I could still read them. Another thing is that when I collected the bottles at the secret lair, it would have been great if they had disappeared after the mini-game. Other than that, great job!
I enjoyed playing this game, the art style is just so lovely! Overall a very polished game.... I could sadly not solve the mystery so I might replay it later!
Many thanks to your thoughtful feedback! It is quite helpful to me, I'll try incorporating your suggestions to further improve on this game, or consider them when making my next games. Thank you! :-)
I was drawn by the nice cover art and the game page and had fun scouring the island for shells! I also felt bad about stealing the snail's shell :'( Great submission overall!
The music was super fun! It was also challenging to get the orders right, and it was confusing at first, but I hope I did get some right :) Other than that some items get spawned out of boundary like the mango behind the board and the text was a bit too slow maybe speed it up or add a skip function next time?
Thank you so much for your feedback! I agree with you, I was really struggling with the background and came to peace with it in the end :'D I will further improve on this in the future!
I enjoyed the variety of mini-games I could play! I didn't realize there is so much to point-and-click adventures! And the crayon-like art style is very charming!
