love the idea of the game and the  art for the monsters, would be interested in  seeing a more fleshed out version! good job on the jam :)

Very nicely  done :)

Great art direction and solid overall design!

Fantastic artwork! Fun concept, took me a minute to realize I could pan the camera left and right, but I loved the overall vibe of the game :>

Very clever concepts, loved all the meta minigames!

Really fun concept, and I really enjoyed doing tricks!

Super cool game, couldn't figure out how to drive well but I enjoyed it anyways!

Really cool game, it was fun rolling and jumping around and I loved retro aesthetic, very polished!

I loved this! Great game feel, fun concept, lovely visuals!

I really liked this! felt like playing through a lovely comic with an intriguing world and overall vibe that I would absolutely devour haha

would've liked  a bit more hinting on where to click at  least at the start of each scene since I ended up  accidently skipping a couple bits of  text.

overall awesome submission, would love to see more <3

Thanks Chris! You're awesome!

Funny you say it reminds you of FTL and Slay the Spire, I actually wanted to do a procedural version with randomized encounters where recruitable NPCs would somewhat randomly be good, neutral, or antagonistic making it heavily repayable.  Sounds silly now considering how much I actually managed to get done xD

The sound design is really excellent, flying around was so smooth and simply I played for quite a bit longer than I expected to. Awesome entry, really great work! 

This turned out extremely well, what an incredible submission! Easily my favorite of the jam so far :)

Having tried it a bit before the end of the jam, I really appreciate how well the overall visuals, sfx, and UI design work turned out!

Great game here :) impressive art design overall! making the bouquet was a nice touch as well!  

Lovely art and music! I enjoyed the cat and witch duo, also being able to pet paka was 10/10 haha

took a minute to get the hang of the flying mechanic, but I really liked the constellation drawing - lots of good attention to detail! Unfortunately the game froze after completing the little dipper constellation D: maybe because I accidentally hit the flying button, then entered the constellation mode?

It was just me for this jam but thanks very much :) ! Frustrating that UI bug popped up in the last hour or so, and it seems to show up for everyone that plays... 

Excited to try your team's entry soon!

Really fantastic presentation, texturing, sculpting, modeling, colors and everything :D  I didn't end up getting past the first island after the house though, didn't know what to do :<

awesome game design, overall great execution, really enjoyed the ending!!

Thanks so much for playing <3

Nooo, Brock the Rock is my favorite character xD! he's in the first level to the left, I wanted to make him a bit of a surprise because he is just a rock so I put him slightly off the beaten path. Truthfully I think most people will miss him so maybe I made the path just slightly too far off haha.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm definitely considering spending a bit more time on this project to finish it out but I guess we'll see :)

Lovely game, I can tell there's so much here that doesn't quite get its chance to shine due to bugs or not having enough time in the jam - whatever the case may be. I played with a keyboard, unfortunately, but  I really enjoyed soaring through the air nonetheless. The colors, skyboxes, and shaders all look fantastic  (reminded me a bit of  that Pixar movie Soul)! 

I couldn't figure out where to go in the 2nd level (never saw any platforms or piano keys) so I ended up skipping to the underworld level and that was pretty awesome, first time encountering the bounce orbs and I really liked that they made a musical tone lol, but the voice over cut off mid sentence and sent me to the main menu :<

If you/the two of you end up updating the game after the jam I would  be very interested in trying it out again :D ! 

Thanks for playing!
Oof that UI bug showed up a last minute, so I didn't have time to squash it but that's how it goes haha

I know what you mean about the "sleeping" mechanic, lots of little polish tasks I also couldn't fit in >.<

Thanks so much for your kind comment :) definitely heavy inspiration from ff7 and  ff9 is one of my all time favorites so that was nice to hear you draw that connection.

Also really glad you enjoyed the story telling. I don't know if I'll end up continuing working on the game, but I'm certainly open to the idea. Thank you so much for playing :D !!

This was a touching experience. Very much felt like a childrens story book in the form of a game and in all  the best ways. The ending was surprising, but made more sense with the submission rationale/explanation.
Also some very nice shaders and colors going on :) 

adorable and hilarious capybara 10/10 + pretty environment!

couldn't talk to the golems though because the dialogue system wouldn't let us read past the first line of dialogue :<

Enjoyed the visual design of the game and was excited to try the game out but I couldn't get past this bug on the ceiling of  a cave, crouching or otherwise :<

Really cool character controller! gliding through the hills was pretty awesome. I think if I could stay attached to the ground while  going over a hill to build more moment until I was ready to jump that would be super fun! 

Loved the environment and various set pieces :) really wish I could go faster than the sprint speed or fly or something so I had time to see it all!

thanks for playing :D !
There's  one  more character you missed in the first area - in case you were curious!

Oh, my mistake. Thanks for letting me know! here are permanent invite links: general - https://discord.gg/ScPxHhKUQh team building + other topics- https://discord.gg/ZDqmNdgNve

Hello everyone,

Couldn't help but notice there's no official place for the people participating in this jam to gather, share progress, provide feedback, ask for help, etc. aside from this message board on itch, so I took it upon myself to make one.

There's another discord focused on team forming: https://discord.gg/ZJmeerah and there's some nice community building going on there and I encourage you to check it out especially if you are trying to find team members!

I wanted to make one that was more general purpose. Here it is: https://discord.gg/cRqdrSGW 

Let's have a great jam :)

Really cool! little frustrating falling off the level especially the last level. overall really great presentation and execution!

Really fantastic visuals! loved the ending and a cool concept fairly well executed!

Really awesome, fun to play, great presentation.

Really loved the sfx and character controller - would be really interested in trying out a more polished and fleshed out version !

Cool idea! little too easy to run into walls and a little difficult to differentiate between walls and the floor. good artstyle overall! 

Really loved the visuals for this!

super cool see through walls effect!

Really fun idea, absolutely wanted to see what the game had to offer, but I couldn't figure out how to get over the very first obstacle past the stairs unfortunately.

Loved it! Quite fun and I enjoyed the visuals and  music. Thought the ramp up to getting more funds to build larger structures felt pretty long, maybe if the player could attack the monsters in some way or build while the wave was incoming so the player would have more to do? Overall great entry :)
