Thanks for playing! Glad you got some enjoyment out of it, a minimap sounds like a great idea, I was worried the world was a bit too big so good to see your feedback mirrors that intuition.

SPOILERS:
Book #1 is the one under the water on the right, you need to drain that body of water to get to it.

Book #2 you need to go all the way around on the left, switch the current and jump into it then follow the path.

Book #3 is in the top right but the puzzle is a bit broken haha so I think it's easy to soft lock or cheese it.

Really cool concept and quite fun! Think I broke something because I ended up auto counting down from 900,000+ to 0 5 minutes in. Love the voice acting and music. Good job!!

Cute game with great visuals, the puzzles were fun, really nice job with such a limited time frame!

The idea is awesome! Really wish the collision was a little favoured toward the player, the ball level was a bit tricky to get right. Nice job!

Really unique idea, I liked how fast you could go after a few upgrades using the correct stroke order! Nice work ^^

Thanks! That's a great idea, it's always so hard to know how others will approach things!

Thank you! Glad you appreciated the idea as much as I did ^^

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it ^^

Thanks! I hope you go for one in the future. Will definitely make text more readable next time!

Thanks for playing, and glad you liked the setting! Definitely lots to learn in terms of presenting mechanics to the player haha.

Thanks for playing and giving such detailed feedback! I will definitely keep those things in mind moving forward ^^

Thank you for playing! Yes, it was definitely a struggle to convey the idea, lots to learn from it. Great suggestion!

Thanks for playing, I will definitely take that in mind moving forward!

Thank you! Glad you liked it, I would've loved another 10-15 too haha but we were quite strapped this time around.

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it, I would've liked more levels as well but life and all :)

Really cute game, love the art style! The jump scare ptero towards the end of the volcano got me good :D

I'm actually so dumb, just realised who this is. You even managed to sneak in a toast reference ffs. I stand by my comment tho xd

Talk about a close call! Well, good luck with any future stuff :)

Wow, just wow. Really well polished and the idea is expertly executed in my opinion. The rules all make sense and nothing feels arbitrary. The last two sections of level 5 were a real brain buster but genuinely a joy to solve. I'm really amazed at how much you've squeezed out of this and to think we both had the same timeframe to make a game. The idea is properly fleshed out and new mechanics are slowly introduced to spice things up. I could see this being a commercial release with only a few minor touch ups.

Thanks for playing! Yes, the deck being limited is completely intentional but I definitely could've communicated that better. I intended to put in something visual to indicate to the player that more cards could be drawn but ran out of time unfortunately. That second level really seems to be a doozy for everyone so I've a lot to learn when it comes to balancing. I hope you'll give it another shot and try to beat it!

Really fun and cute game, I especially liked the little puzzle with the arrows pointing you where to go. For a game jam there's a lot of clever ideas and, if expanded, I'd love to see more of those spatial puzzles. Also the fox is unbelievably cute!

YES! Thank you! That was 100% my intention, clever use of the boost and certain cards can be very powerful. Glad you caught on and thanks for playing!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hiya, thank you very much for playing our game and commenting! Yes, I'm afraid we have fallen for the classic first jam blunder and made the game a tad challenging. As for your points:

The design was intended to encourage you to stay in your area but use the close range attacks when enemies come to you or then build up a boost and risk the small damage to hit them in their area (you can also block 1 tick with your shield).

Very late playtesting showed the Gator enemy to be quite challenging (it's actually been nerfed already), I'm sorry! But it's quite predictable and will always teleport to you at fixed intervals which allows you to counter attack with your close ranged attacks.

If you haven't had a look at the tutorial (you can change pages by pressing L/R or Left/Right, you'll see you have an ability that is long range and is infinite - but it has a cooldown.

Thanks again for playing, I hope you give it another shot!
