As a sailor myself I'm impressed how well you interpreted the base sailing mechanics to a game, well done! Pretty fun gameloop though it can get repetitive quite fast.
Well polished, I had fun playing it, thanks!
I agree with "MyLeg" here, a small tutorial would be much appreciated. Generally speaking it is much better to include the knowledge of how to play in the game itself rather than to write it down on the itch page, because people usually don't read it unfortunately. After reading and commiting though, the game is very polished and looks quite amazing, nice job on that!
Thanks for making this game, great job! :)
Very cool to see a game with proper tutorial in a gamejam, hats off to that! The game itself feels very polished gameplay and audio wise, great stuff!
I really appreciate the approach of making a clean and easy to understand gameplay and polish the hell out of it. Pretty unusual for a gamejam, so again: congrats on this, nice work
After reading everything it became clear how to approach this game, but some super easy tutorial would have improved the experience. I know this is a jam game, so I'm not super picky about this, consider this a suggestion to improve the game if you'd like to continue working on it. You should!:)
The audio fits the mood very well, nice job on that! Pretty cool game
Hey thanks for playing all the way through and give some feedback! I personally think you are absolutely right, we could have spent some more time with the actual map design, but that's how a gamejam is.:) An important takeaway is to playtest as soon as possible so we can investigate these kind of issues.
Thanks again!
That's so amazing to hear that you actually played through the game with this much attention!
You guessed it right: The choir boys had an other quest related to them initially but as always, we ran out of time.:) Same with the lantern! We wanted to include it in the pic, but just couldn't make it in the end. That's how it is.
Thanks for playing!
Dear Nijelous!
Thanks for playing and also for streaming, it's super valuable for us, devs!
Unfortunately there is a known bug in the game, which you just got right when you started. (The background doesn't load and the mini portrait stays there forever)
Would you mind telling us in what resolution were you playing? We are planning to continue developing the game and it's great to collect some additional info on the bugs.
Anyways, we are really glad you liked it, keep it up dude! :)
Hey!
I grew up in a garden house, so this game gives me a bit of a PTSD lol :D
Very cool concept, I like games which think outside of the box, this one checks the mark big time!
Only complaint maybe is the the hitbox of "stepping on the dandelions" were not readable enough for me at lest, maybe it can get an other iteration, but definitely works like this as well, great one!
Nice to see that you thought before just started to develop, the little mechanics make it a coherent game!
Cheers
Hey Steve!
Generally speaking I love the idea, and I also like rythm games, so this was a great match. With this one it felt like it's harder to get the first bucket-pass than to get the upcoming ones, but maybe it was just my lack of rythmic understanding. So after I did the first 2-3 passes, I usually was able to finish the whole loop.
It is also a great touch that you let the player know if they were early or late. Did you try to make it somewhat of a "real-time feedback", so players can see right away if they were early? Maybe that could also work.:)
Great entry all in all, cheers
Hey there!
Cute game, movement is a little clunky, not sure if it's considered final, or it would still need some polish.:)
I got the sticky keys windows alert because of pressing Shift too much. :D
One thing which comes to my mind where you could improve is to add some kind of tutorial section as not every player reads the description of your game.
Overall good one, cheers!
Wow, for a solo developed game, this is great!
Good idea to have one base mechanics and tweak it a bit to have some variations and new maps!
Did you think about putting the bags a bit further away from the bins? With this layout it doesn't really worth it to put the leaves inside the bags, since the trashbin is already really close.:D
Anyway, good vibes, good choice of music, nice work! :)
