There are soooo many plat twist coming. The game unfortunately ended where the real story begins, but I had to build the intro first. I can not wait for the votiing period to end so I can update and add more content.
Thanks for playing and your feedback.

Thank you very much! It is always great to see how players play the game.

Lol. Thanks.... And then I want to go and make it harder? :P

Stay awesome!

haha, made it with with just just enough time. But it was a trade off, tutorial or great audio.
Thanks for playing.

ah darn. Thank you for the notification.

Really cool idea and a good execution :)

For sure a cool idea. Would defo recomment adding a few more levels post jam :)

Really cool idea and a smart puzzle.

Quack quack. lol. Really cool game. Loved it,

Really cute grapics :)

Cool! It was really smooth. Nice job with this :) only got 18...

This is a poll, what do you perfer in an RPG game - A smaller map that you can almost study so to speak with 100's of quests that depends on your level and rating and what not, or an explorer RPG where the map just grows and grows, and the NPC's is once off only?

The plan so far for the Quest NPC... Just an NPC that hands out quests and has a custom action if needed.

So the idea that I want to go with is - You are hired by the team as an assistant and have to do tasks for them.
The main goal of the game will be to drive followers. You will be tasks with the daily respond to comments (good and bad comments),  delete spam and make daily posts. Each action will result in followers gain/lost and reputation gain lost. There will also be town folk who will be willing to follow the team IF you complete their quests. You have to keep the studio full of food and a bunch of other things.
Really this is just an idea at this point. I am thinking about making 2 games, where version 1 might just be a simple point-and-click adventure to get all the actions and data right, but ultimately I want to make this a 2D map where the player can roam around.

I think this can be a fun idea and I already mapped out how I will store all the data for the characters and tested a little prototype screen.
Unfortunately, art is not my strong suit, so I might fall short there.

I am posting this for accountability, I really want to make something playable with this concept and sometimes it helps to throw the idea out there and if someone wants to "steal" the idea, by all means, I welcome the challenge.

Stay awesome.

Is there a source where I can get free portrait art of IronMouse and Bubi. Would not want to copy existing art where not allowed.
Worst case I will use Mon amiral 3D art that was posted, but I plan to make a real-life character and not really a demon style.
If you are a artist with a set, I will gladly credit you, but sadly I am not an artist at all.

So I am done thinking about what I want to do and thanks to my assistant generator, this below is a little teaser script.
The idea started very simple, and the game might be very simple... So we shall see how it turns out... If it does...

But for now I am going to go to bed and tackle this in the morning.
Ofcourse anyone is welcome to try and steal the idea, I think it will be quite clever.

:D wish I could ask what your score was :P First update post jam.
Glad you liked it. Kenney got some great assets.

Been wanting to use that asset pack for a while and it worked out well. And glad you noticed it. Was a risk, but paid off well.

Sadly yeah. Wanted to make a global scoring list, but there just was not time.

I love city-building games, but I had a bit of a hard time figuring this all out... Still, great job :)

This was... Testing my panic level :P Good job.

This was smart... Moved a little too fast for me, but was a nice experience.

Cool job in such a record time.

This was really cool idea. Well executed.

Such a sleek and neat game. Sweet job.

This was quite cool.  Awesome job :)

Really cool game, liked it quite alot, but the controls was a bit confusing, but i bet it is really great with a controller.  But still, really nice, and awesom graphics :)

Your game really deserves to be on Steam. Good luck, wishing you the best.

So I asked my partner to play it, she loved it! Figure things out and be lik "ohhh"... 

Just something we saw, not sure if it is intended, or a bug, or now maybe a spoiler, but if you throw the spear and die, you respawn with 2 spears... Giving you a bit of an advantage.

Still, great game!

Really cool game, looks amazing , and seems like you have really put in the work, really nice.

I must admit tho, it is a bit of a tough start. Maybe it is because I just woke up. I will try again and ask my partner to try too as she might do far better than this for me.  Sadly tho, i must admit, because of the difficulty, I won't be a dependable player. If your goal is to go for a hard game, then you nailed it, nothing wrong with that, in fact some people will prefer that, however from a player base, I would suggest adding another world that is slightly easier. I am only suggesting this because your game is beautiful and I think everyone should at least try it, but if it is impossible to get past the first section without a bit of brain power then the exposure might suffer. Again if it is what you are going for, really cool, but if you want to build a bit of retention...

Good luck, not that you need it ;)

Realy cool game, and looks really nice.  I actually got stuck at the start and stopped playing. I think it is because I just woke up and did not know it was a game where you have to really figure things out. So I will come back later and  post again if it went well, but my reaction was a bit "What?" in the very first section. And there is not really any text for guidance..

Thanks for your feedback! I will gladly check out your game :)

Thanks, and I love the idea you had. It looks amazing.

I can imagine this game as an interesting/competitive clicked, but sadly it does seem a bit broken as the balls don't move everything. That is always a reason for another improve jam ;)

Interesting, and great effort thus far.

It is a great idea, very complex start, the tutorials moved a bit fast, and got it after a bit, but was still just a little too much. Beautiful tho :)

Really good work, with I assume from your dev log as a beginner? Just keep going.
