Lovely visuals and art, the light music and ambience helped the atmosphere a lot, and the sound effects were really quite nice for being self-made. I would like to see a bit more happening gameplay wise though since it was a tad slow and easy. However considering the short nature of the game, it didn't overstay its welcome. Looking forward to the sequel!
Thank you <3 Yeah, I agree I preferred to keep everything very basic because I didn’t know if I’d be able to make the drawings the way I wanted (they took me a lot of time). Plus, I worked one of the two days of the jam, so I had even less time than I’d hoped. But it really helped me understand how to better structure timing and planning :D
Super unique and memorable, I love it! I saw in the replies that you'll continue working on it, and I'm looking forward to playing it!!
Thank you very much <3 (sorry for my late respond xD)
My original idea involved a centerpiece with evil plants moving towards it, so I really enjoyed your game! I changed it to harvesting crops because of the time constraint haha
Thank you ^^ and very good idea! (sorry for my late respond xD)
You’ve balanced your own style and the simplicity of the game beautifully, creating a feeling that really comes through to the player. You’re awesome!
Thanks so much! I'm happy you liked it <3
Seriously impressive visuals! The gameplay is simple but all works well.
Thanks for joining the jam :D
Heartfelt thanks, it's a pleasure to read all of this, thank you all for this amazing jam <3
Very artistic and stylish...good job!
Thank you so much, really :D
Absolutely love how everything looked and flowed
Thank you so much for playing <3
Love this 2-frame style of hand-drawn environments, nostalgic
Thank you so much <3 It makes me really happy to read that.
Was really refreshing to see something a little more unconventional for the art style!! I really love how the two frame animations turned out, gave it a lot of movement while also being not too strenuous to execute. I know people have mentioned the controls, but I think my comment would actually be that it would be super cool to have a swing-while-jumping ability + animation. I didn't mind the speed of the swings that much, just made it so you had to be careful about timing instead of spam clicking, but I did really want to be able to pull some cool combos out haha! But overall, really nice work, congrats on finishing your second jam!!
Thank you so much for this comment <3 The drawings took me more effort than I expected—basically, I didn’t know how to approach them, and after scrapping a huge number of ideas, I ended up wasting a lot of time. The attack isn't fast or immediate because, well, as a guardian you have to catch your breath, find your balance, and then strike decisively (all excuses I'm making up right now xD). As I’ve mentioned in other comments, I’ve already started working on a more extended and complete version of this story <3 I really hope you'll get to play it soon ^_^ Thanks again! (sorry for my eng)
Loved the art style and the way you animated !
As others said the fighting could use a little bit of feedback (sound, screenshake, etc) but apart from that , it's a pretty solid entry. Great job :)
Thank you so much, really. Don’t worry—thanks to all your feedback I’ve understood what needs to be improved, etc... (a lot of those things were already on the to-do list, but time just didn’t allow for it) XD
I love the art of the game
Thank you so much <3
I really liked the art !! it lacks of a bit of feedbacks (don't know if i can say that like that english's not my native language) but otherwise it was cool for your second game jam !! Hope to see you two in another one !
Yeah, I get what you mean and I agree with you, really, thanks a lot <3
