Loved the atmosphere here. I think the theme for the jam doesn't really shine through, but otherwise I enjoyed what was briefly there. I did find the pickaxe a little hard to spot on the wall at first. I also wish that for both mining and depositing rocks you could hold the key to do so. There should probably also be some way to deposit more than one rock at a time.

Cute and fun enough game that I have a couple of gripes about. The fact that you MUST steal or pay rather than just walk away is annoying when you don't know what will pop up the first time you enter a hex. It also feels like the "correct" way to play, especially if the game was expanded upon and made longer, would be to just hop around your gardens for a while and collect money. I also don't really understand the point of the police. They are way cheaper to bribe after stealing than just buying the thing you stole. Which is funny commentary, but not a great game mechanic IMO.
I find the brushing to be a bit finnicky, and it doesn't really add much to the gameplay since I already know what the item is from picking it up. It also feels a bit strange that someone is stated to be the prime suspect with no input from me. I like the art and the vibes, could be very fun with some polish and love after the jam!
I didn't really realize how to play the game at first, that I had to check symptoms via clicking on the monitor. Once I got it it felt a little easy to piece together since there were so few overlaps, but that makes sense with such limited time to make the game. I LOVE the art and character designs, paired with the music it sets a great atmosphere for the jam's theme. Great job y'all, one of my faves of the jam so far.
Super great effort, especially for a solo game. I thoroughly enjoyed and maxed out the tree! I would say that the inquisitor fights at the end of each day can feel a little long, especially since the visual/auditory feedback on your effects taking place are a bit weak, so it doesn't really feel like you're reaping the reward, rather just waiting.
Would love to see this expanded upon! It would need some extra wrinkles. By the end of this you basically just take over the whole town after one crowd, so it would need something extra, or more idle aspects.
Very cute, bite-sized platformer/puzzler. It does some fun variation/wordplay on the jam theme as well!
My one point of feedback is that, unless it's made clear to be a mechanic at the start of the game it's strange to incorporate the mouse into your previously keyboard only platformer. I was stuck on level 6 for a little while even WITH the hint because it genuinely didn't occur to me that it meant click and drag.
I really like this concept. Enjoyed playing it a lot. The mechanics could be expanded upon and I'd say this could very well be a full game! There are a couple potentially frustrating points, but I feel those are mostly just leaning into the puzzle aspects of the game. The ending was a bit grim, but well done!
