I always loved watching game dev videos and especially game jams. I never thought I could ever make games or join a game jam. But I realized I really wanted to, so I started and while I was watching Jerbob (fun fact: I found him through a game jam video!) I found out about his silly jam. Jerbob is a very chill guy + jam is beginner friendly = i joined :)
hey i played your game a bit. I think the idea is neat and I really love the hand drawn characters! I don't really know what to say, because the game is not yet finished, but if you have time maybe after the player clears some levels you can show the required amount only for a couple of seconds before hiding it, hiding the "clear" option, or having a time limit for an extra challenge later in the game. These are all just suggestions for if you have extra time. You first just need to focus on finishing the original idea - finishing the characters you mentioned, sound effects, button visuals (maybe also in the hand drawn style?) etc
this already looks so good :) i guess more satisfying sound effects could work? some sort of progression? like you get something at a certain milestone. But there might not be enough time for that. so i'd say just add more sound effects. again looks great already!
i'm personally using an online site called beepbox it can be sometimes clunky but it's on the web, free and pretty simple. I'm thinking about trying out something like garage band but for now beepbox is all i've been using
