Jam creator bailed. Made a new jam; same same, but different:  https://itch.io/jam/summertime-game-jam-v2 Join it and join the discord!

:D

Think they gave up so here you go! https://itch.io/jam/summertime-game-jam-v2 New page!

https://itch.io/jam/summertime-game-jam-v2 Remade. Join!

Because the original jam creator is gone and others tried and failed to remake it, I went ahead and did it. Join now! It starts 17th of JUNE! Similar rules, but expanded voting criteria! and a discord! (same as someone else made for summertime jam before)

While you're at it, update rules to forbid AI generated content?

Seems the organizer is AWOL. Seems there will be another set up but not sure what is happening with that either. 

Gorgeous character art and wonderful that you stylized everything from text to UI - Not always easy to find time for that.

You've got the controls to feel really tight and starting a new round is extremely straightforward. It's quite a satisfying experience :D

Ayyy! I was wondering if there would be an end :D I ended up with over 15000 on my last turn :O That's a lotta wool!
Unlike a lot of incrementers, this one managed to maintain player engagement throughout and the input of the player was always a deciding factor. I loved how you eventually could just circle the mouse and it should shear and process in one loop over and over. Satisfying.

Look at you making Lucas Pope proud. Admittedly, I am pretty baaaaaad at papers please, but lower stakes made this a more chill experience ;) Now I am sleepy for some reason.

After billions of points I can safely say I have no life. I had more hands clicking than a .. uh.. internet cafe in korea? Are they still a thing?

In any case, well done on the entry! I have two mouse inputs so i was going full speed :P

What can I say, this game is beautiful. The style is well put together and the audio matches well. Great job!

This took me right back to the days of early flash games. There is something about the style and vibe that makes it so distinctly early internet. I dig it.

Woo! Thanks for playing!

I have made the pieces draggable with the draggable extension. So while they are being dragged (with left click) they should be able to rotate/resize. 

I am glad that you let me know of your issues. I will remember to test my games out on my laptop as well next time! 

odd. I use a chromium browser in pc and it works fine. You are holding onto the piece when you press 1 or 2? It wouldn’t do anything if you drop it.

thinking about it, the reason it worked on the edge of the bag is because I prevent you from dropping it there, so it counts it as being held onto. 

Well, I couldn't do it before now but I finally got it fixed for the backpack puzzle as well as the larger door puzzle. Fixed a bug as well.

Hope you don't have any trouble playing it now!

oh. I’ll see if I can fix that in the next hour or two! 🤓
Edit: Something came up but I will try to get it done so you can use the numbers 1 and 2 to rotate objects for the puzzles soon!

I think you’ll find that the post-jam version makes the door puzzle take much less time. There is a hint of you want it, showing the partially completed puzzle, sound for when they click into place and instructions on the screen. I just didn’t have time to get it in, unfortunately 🥲 

glad you liked the rest of it. Hope you weren’t too harsh on the score 😅

:D

Very solid design. Great tutorialization as well! 

I’ve noticed the full screen thing can happen, but a refresh usually fixes it. I don’t think that’s a thing I can fix: seems like an engine bug. Sorry that it happened to you. I suppose it could also be related to screen aspect ratio: the game is in 16:9 so if your screen is different maybe that causes issues 🧐

glad you liked the game! :) 

Wooo! Laughing is good for you!

Completely understandable! There were plenty of things I needed to change last minute and many other things that didn't make it into the game. Time is a cruel thing.

Super fun!

My fiance and I are already considering the option of seeking grants to make little things like this to teach the meanings of words etc. It has potential :D

Great!

Yeah, it's just a time issue. I have a version with instructions, a hint and audio feedback implemented. Didn't have time to upload it.

I'm glad you liked the game, though :) Post jam version gets uploaded after voting!

I can only draw trumpets, so I am glad I was asked to draw one at some point :P

Also, elephants are way smaller than I thought.

Extremely creative approach to the theme. I dig it! 5 stars.

I do have one little nugget of wisdom that doesn't come from me, but I think it would be well applied to this game, if you work on it more. Paraphrasing here but, "The goal of level design is to give the player an opportunity to use all the game mechanics". 

The mechanic is obviously one thing only, but being big feels fast and being small feels nimble so it's kinda 2 mechanics in 1.

However, the levels as they currently generate, don't really allow the player to feel true exhilarating speed (rather, the feeling of crossing vast distances quickly for an extended time). I think it would serve the game well to space out the obstacles so that the feat of getting through a sneaky tunnel or over a nasty hump is rewarded by drifting through larger distances. This could still include some elevation changes, like almost floating down a set of stairs quickly or whatever. 

With some visual context added, like a paralaxing landscape background or a cityscape, it would feel great! speed lines, also!

You've got a real gem here, and my suggestions come from a place of love and enthusiasm! This could be the next speedrunners or something. It's got great potential!

There once was a developer named, 'Langotriel'. Like every other developer, they enjoyed it when other jam participants were fascinated with their games, and expected comments. However, when he thought he had seen it all, he came across a comment so long and so meta, that he couldn't help but join in the silliness for the length of his response.

"This must surely be the longest review I'll ever get", he thought to himself.

The commenter went by the name of'Tameno'. They had created a game of their own with the title: "sizeboarder".

The developer figured it seemed logical that they return the kind review with another, after playing the commenter's own jam submission.

With that, the developer thanked Tameno for playing and set off on the quest to play their game.

One of the better feeling platformers I have played in a jam (and I have played a LOT of them). 

Great job on the visuals, too!

Slime puzzle? You mean the door puzzle? Strange that you have that issue. I don't suppose you could try another browser? And full screen is recommended.

Whether you try that or not, thank you for playing and thank you for the kind words! :D

Reminds me of the milkman level in Psychonauts. "I am the milk man".

Dig it!

loveyou

Don't feel bad for the wolf. It kept a petty vast little bunny hostage!

I played for a while :P I hope my mouse isn't broken. GG!
