Here's our game!! 

https://itch.io/jam/theveryseriousjuniperdevgamejam/rate/4705931

It's a cozy vinyl decorating sim, and all of the dragging mechanics are compatible on mobile!! I should know since I mainly tested it on my phone lol.

I didn't think it would be such a simple fix lol, thanks for letting me know!!

Very addictive game! I loved the mechanic with the Rubber Duckies and being able to move them around, lol. It's a shame you didn't have any music to go with the project tho, because the rest of the game was so cute and fun, that's like all it was missing. 

Overall, an enjoyable game, good job!

This is not only the most serious game I have played yet in this jam, but also the only jam I sat there and played until completion, no matter how many times I had my momentum push me into the ground. I love the 3d models and the design of the game so much, like it's so whimsical and joyful *cough* I mean, Serious. 

The only thing I'd suggest is improving the UI for the flaps I have and what I have remaining, as well as a UI showing how many miles I am at and how many I have left to go. You could even do a minimap of the world to show when the mushrooms start disappearing if you feel fancy.

Anywho, super fun and engaging game with a really unique theme!!

Here's my game because Itch refuses to put it there automatically lol

Such a cute game omg!! And especially as a solo dev, I think it turned out great. The Chrome Music Lab music reminds me of when I first started making music, and it was lowkey fire, and the art style was very simple, yet charming. There is one very minor thing you might be able to do to improve the game. I felt a little annoyed having to reset the position of the spinning platforms each time I died, so maybe having a way to keep them in their position, instead of having it restart to the beginning, would be beneficial. (Especially in the later levels with 3+ platforms needing to be aligned very specifically)

Overall, you did a great job for a first game jam, and I enjoyed my gaming experience!!

I loved the unique movement of spinning a joystick around. I've never seen anything like it. It kind of reminded me of when I first started playing games and had to get used to the controls, which added a layer of difficulty that made beating levels all the more satisfying. However, the enemies being able to travel through whirlwinds did make it difficult, but I'm not sure if that's just a skill issue or not lol. Overall, a good game!

Omg, I am so sorry, I got so caught up with my senior year of high school that I completely missed this reply!!

I would love to make some music for the game if it is still in development! My Discord is @JaidenTfs if you want to add me, and we can discuss the information in greater detail.

Hey, I'd be willing to help out with any music composition and sound design needed!!

(Theme from a game jam I worked on)

I can't believe I let myself play a game jam game for almost an hour, but it was just so much fun to play!! I only wish the music didn't stop whenever the upgrade screen would come up, when getting a bunch of upgrades in the early game, it got annoying because I really wanted to listen to the well-composed music!! Maybe you could have a calmer version of the main song that changes into it?? Either way, it was loads of fun, great job you guys!

The art is superb, and the idea is a really creative spin on the theme! Also, by the way, in the controls it says that A and S rotate, when I think it's A and D, so I got really confused for a while lol, but it was pretty easy to get into the swing of things once I realized. Beautiful game!!

I love the vibe of this game. It's a very satisfying puzzle game without being boring or rage bait, the best level design in a jam, I think I've probably ever seen!! I'm gonna follow this game to play any updates!

Very, very cute game! I LOVE the art style of it so much, and it looks very clean and polished visually!! My only trouble was trying to understand how to get the loops to work how I wanted them to, but it was still fun to play. Great job on this game!!

I think this is a really cool concept for a puzzle game!! It's very easy to just play for a bit and zone out. Great job!

I think it's a really interesting idea for a game, but it sucks that it's only able to be played with local multiplayer. If it had some kind of AI to play against, it would be really fun!!

Thank you so much for such a deep analysis of our game!! It's much appreciated and we'll definitely look into adding a way to better avoid the red astroids in future patches. 

To be completely honest with you, we made it for a shorter jam so we didn't really expect anyone to really win persay? But we'll definitely have to work on a proper win screen!!

I'll make sure the programmer knows since I just made the music for it and help with ideas, so I'll send it over. Thanks again for playing an giving feedback!

Update!! Our team consists of 2 programmers and we're looking for an artist, contact me if you're interested!

Yeah, after awhile the grey meteors go away and it's only icy blue ones. Also as the composer the compliment is much appreciated 🙏 🙏 

I'll make sure to follow you and check it out when you post a patch!

I got stuck on the first level since I used the hammer on the wrong object lol, but once I figured it out, I actually really enjoyed the game!! Wonderful art, engaging music, and some simple, yet fun, gameplay!! Huge props to your team!

The story and art have such a unique vibe to them that I love so much. Sadly, there was a bug where in order to aim to the left, my mouse had to be off the screen where you shoot, and it wouldn't register my clicks. Overall vibey and unique game, awesome work!!

Pretty fun game overall. My only recommendation is don't have the music restart every death, because it's very good, and having to listen to the first few seconds over and over got annoying lol. Overall, pretty fun game, good job.

It took me a few tries before I figured out how to kill the enemies, but once I got the hang of it, my trouble was failing the platforming lol. Very pretty and aesthetic game, I think it turned out well.

I liked the overall vibe of the game, and the idea is pretty cool. Sometimes it would kill me on spawn infinitely, but once I got passed that bug, it went pretty smoothly, just having to figure out what to do! Pretty fun game overall.

Wonderful art and a wonderful game idea. Although I can say that I didn't figure out that the enemies only attack you when you are in the light, so I had a frustrating time trying to figure out how they worked. Overall, great for a first jam!

I love the art of the game, but I had a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to do to beat it. I assume we are rushing into the people and eating them? It was pretty fun to play i just wish I could play for longer then a minute without dying lol.

Did you by chance play it without full screen? Because the UI messed up unless it's in full screen and we're not sure why. Thanks for the feedback and I'll be sure to rate your game when I get the chance!

Hey, my name is Jaiden, and I'm looking for some teammates that have worked in one or more game jams before and/or have a few years at their craft. 

I've done 4 game jams up to this point and I specialize in Chiptune style music, which is very in line with this jam, but I am also looking to experiment with new software and styles so I'm flexible.

You can contact me fastest my messaging me on discord or Instagram @JaidenTfs and I look forward to having an amazing jam experience!!

Hey, I noticed that your game doesn't have a soundtrack or many sound effects. I make chiptune-styled music and if you need an original soundtrack then I'd love to help!! (no payment wanted I just like making music lol) Just contact me using @JaidenTfs or jaidentfs@gmail.com

This is a very cute game, and I wish you the best of luck on your development journey!!

I'm not entirely sure why our lead chose as many people as we did, however we originally had 2 programmers that were working really hard. One of the programmers worked with our narrative guy to make like a tutorial and some story elements. 

With about 2 days left in the jam he said he would be online to finish everything, and the next day we realized he had left the server and blocked everyone in it. His name online is Sickk in case you ever run into him. 

Because of that our only programmer left had to last minute cram for 2 people. We never ended up understanding the scripts that Sickk wrote because they weren't finished and we didn't have time.

Furthermore our lead got really sick and couldn't really be online to communicate with people what needed to be done, or plan out level design, so our programmer and UI guys were working on that in addition to their own jobs without warning. 

We plan on revisiting it sometime soon and adding signs in the halls, a tutorial, and just more quality of life things that we lacked adding in the week we had. Your feedback will be really valuable when doing so!! If you want to play it how we Invisioned it, just follow the itch page and we'll post a devlog!! (If not then no game no foul 😊)

It's a windows download, we would love it if you could play and rate 🙏 https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-13/rate/3348439

The game looked very good, and the game play was nice, I would just recommend making the enemy hotboxes smaller because I would get killed while not even being close to touching lol. Pretty good work for a solo dev, keep it up!!

The game had a very unique idea, however I think it starts out with way too many packets spawned. I also think having all of the packets move from one node and letting them stop at the nodes along the path as they go (e.g. there is a pink, red, and purple packet on one node. You connect that node through a path that includes all colors of nodes and they all start moving on their way.) Best of luck on getting more ratings!!

I think this was a really cute game. I didn't hear any audio and I would suggest you look into customizing the itch page. You can add screenshots, and a game cover, as well as customizing the colors and fonts on the itch page, and I think that would help convince people to play the game!!

I'm glad you enjoyed!! 

It was a very genuinly fun game. I normally play games while looking for things they could improve, sometimes they're just so obvious I can't help but notice, but this game had me really immersed and it was a nice change of pace!! Best of luck on the jam!

Here's our game, make sure to check out the controls on the itch page before playing!! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-13/rate/3348439#post-12291220
