This game is like herding cats! Or ducks ... All I know is the 4 ducks I saved were my friends and RIP  to the duck that was in front of the gate and got struck by lightning as I was herding him in :(

Love me a good ole fashioned simple gameplay loop. LOVE the artstyle, omg the thumbnail alone is incredible. It's pretty chill to keep the fire going for awhile but man once it gets low, the quickness that the ghosts descend upon your campfire is fatal. Would love if there was some sort of power up to kill all ghosts in the vicinity or something, at least to counteract the barrage of ghosts so you can recover! But super fun, great submission!!

Artwork is gorgeous!! Love it. I have personal beef with the pizza's hitboxes, all those suckers kept slipping away from me. But really interesting take on the theme! And loved reading about all the different butterflies!

Totally hear you and thank you for the feedback! I really wanted to add more stakes (heh) to the game and had a whole plan to add in some leftover vampire hunters in the castle that the dog had to either evade or attack to save the Count. Time just did not allow unfortunately! But definitely on my to-do list if I do anymore updates. Thanks for playing!!

This was so awesome but I raged a lot trying  to get that ID in all of the spikes. Evil. Amazing. Truly I think this should be a full game! The concept is so simple but so easily expanded upon, would love to see you do even more!!

I agree a tutorial would've been good! I tried to keep it as simple as possible but what's intuitive to me won't be intuitive to others haha. Thanks so much for playing!

Hey thanks so much! I had a bunch more mechanics in my back pocket but time just didn't allow with only myself doing it all this year. Thanks for playing though!!

This was so addicting, I really got sucked in and took me ages to realise I'd been playing for almost 30 minutes already! Love it, great job!

Hey this has some potential! I think when it gets to combat, I wasn't sure which one was me so it was hard to tell how I was doing. Also not completely sure on how my stats are being compared to the enemy. This definitely seems like it took direct inspiration from Catan which is awesome, I would just love for you to expand upon the strategy of making sure you can withstand battles a bit more! Great job!

Such a fun community goal! Glad I could be a part of it!

Not to brag but I got a score of 1313! This was pretty cool, I looooove games where you have to fight against draining resources to stay alive/keep a village alive. Super fun, definitely wish I could've played a lot longer!

This is awesome and soooo rage-inducing!! Super addicting, I could play this for hours. I was focusing so hard I stopped blinking so now my eyes hurt haha

quentin back at it again with another banger game! how unique and fun and just ... insane! i accidentally clicked the card where the bird comes onto screen every once in a while and scared the crap out of me hahaha. great stuff!!

Keeping Dracula’s castle spotless, the best service dog! Thanks so much for playing!!

Hey thanks for the feedback! Not sure why the graphics/camera were glitching, I haven’t experienced that but will take a look! Thanks for playing!!

Hey thanks so much for the review! I completely agree that Dracula doesn’t look enough like Dracula. Normally for a game jam, I’d do all the art myself but I normally have a team to do more of the heavy lifting of programming. With just me this year, I had to settle on pre-made assets and it was pretty impossible to find a 16x16 pixel dracula that fit the aesthetic of the rest of the game haha. If I go back and work more on this, I would 100% redo Dracula! 

Also really wanted to add some hunters to either evade or fend off but time just didn’t allow :( another improvement for sure!

Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback!!

I just wasn’t inspired by a typical countdown mechanic so was thinking of all sorts of ways I could stretch the theme. Pretty chuffed with myself on this outcome haha. Thanks so much for playing!!

Thanks for the feedback!! The stake in the middle was meant to be there but in hindsight it does seem silly to have left it there. Dracula’s comments don’t make much sense in relation to a wooden stake being left on the floor. I think I had created lore in my head that the stake had some magical properties similar to garlic that makes vampires hate them or something haha. Sorry it was confusing though! Thanks so much for playing!!

Really interesting idea! Was getting a bit frustrated because I couldn't restock my cards every time I got under 3 cards so I just lost out on time there. But was quite enjoyable! Love the graphics

Great submission!! Art is awesome, the puzzles are a bit hard for me but definitely satisfying when you figure it out!

Those blue pads are genuinely my enemy. Really cool concept! I'd maybe make the beginning portion a little less punishing to warm into it, can get too rage-inducing quite quickly! Great submission though!

Fun concept! Lowkey died so much, wouldn't have known dogs were in the game if not for the videos and screenshots haha. Great job!

This is truly amazing. The music distorting as time gets lower and lower is such a great touch, the art style is so adorable, everything is incredibly polished! Gameplay is quite chaotic but still fun, maybe wish there was a bit more breathing room at points to explore. Well done!

Glad you could appreciate my pun! When I told my friends my idea, they laughed so I knew I had to go with it for this one

Haha that was the best garlic I could find without making one myself! Thanks for playing!

This is really neat! I like being able to add more and more to the floor as I progress and strategising where to put each new block. Such a fun concept!

Haha I thought a punny take on the theme would be fun this go-around! I pitched the idea to some friends and they laughed so I went "why not"! I also wanted to do way more levels with different hazards and puzzles but just didn't have enough time :( maybe I'll come back to it and expand upon it at some point! Thanks for playing!!

This was actually so difficult haha but I enjoyed! Definitely a decent game for only a few hours! Great job!

This was quite fun! I loved that there were so many levels. It took me a bit to understand exactly what was going on - I kept thinking the icons showing the smashes were a part of the level and not in the countdown. But once I got the hang of it, it was quite satisfying! Great job!

Super cute game! Took me a bit to really understand the mechanics but once I did, I really enjoyed the puzzles! Level 6 really got me for awhile but we got there in the end! Cool game!

Ahh thank you so much!! That means a lot!! Thank you for playing!!

Super cute game! The dummy actually fooled me against another person lol

Thanks so much!!

Hey thanks so much for playing! I agree, an actual countdown would've helped out in this game but I was running out of time. And sorry about the garlic! Dracula is supposed to give little hints but I think it's not super intuitive to talk to him before putting the garlic away haha. Thanks for the feedback!!

Thank you so much! We took inspiration from old Pokemon Ranger games where you catch Pokemon by circling your stylus around them. We thought it was a pretty fun take on the Loop theme that would be pretty unique! Thanks for playing!!

I spent so much time on this game, it is soo fun and extremely well polished. The music is addicting and I honestly loved that the map didn't change so I could get used to it and try to go faster and faster. Well done!!

This is such a fun game!! I just had a little trouble of it not detecting my A and D keys being pressed at the same time for the spin but my keyboards also a bit wonky so it could absolutely just be that. I got so much satisfaction from gaining subscribers and viewers for pushing the rock though, didn't think I'd have this much fun from a clicker game. Great job!

I really love the movement on this game! Was a bit hard to get right at first but once I got it, it was really awesome. Would love to have some audio next time but otherwise, great submission!

I love anomaly games so this was right up my alley! Fun puzzles, I found the constant dialogue a little tiring until I figured out I can just press Z to make it go a lot faster, that helped me out a lot. I love that you didn't take it super seriously and added a lot of humour to the puzzles! Great job, loved this submission.

I love the artstyle so much, its very dreamy! I had a bit of an issue with the movement, the character is a bit slide-y making it hard to make precise movements which I felt I needed for the last level. I unfortunately ended up getting frustrated and not completing the level because I couldn't stop sliding off the box. If the movement was a little more grounded, I feel like this would be my new favourite puzzle platformer because the art is right up my alley. Great work, would love to see more!
