Yes - I'm new to game jams!
How does your game fit the theme?
The character must bring new life to the world, causing a new era to be just getting started. Also, this is my first time entering a jam, so I too, am just getting started.

A charming little experience I'll be it definitely in need of some polish. The character you play as is pretty cute! And the premise of completely starting the world anew is actually really fascinating to me. One I haven't seen explored much elsewhere either!
That being said, the game still feels just a touch hollow, regardless of the state of the world. Using mouse to interact with things is a bit awkward and there's no indicator of what you can or can't interact with in the over world. Items have this though so that's good! Combat isn't bad, just a touch repetitive. The wind up and punch collisions could use some work.
But for what's here? This is a pretty promising start to a rogue-like type game! Good job!
A very nice game. The only thing I will leave a note about is that 100 seeds to get the ending is too much. I did that, but consider that most people will play your game for at most 15 minutes, so try to make your game pretty short so they can access the full content of your game. I think cutting this amount by half will be nice
Edit: I think I noted about the most unnecessary thing in the game 😅, good game overall
So now that I can play the game, here are my notes: I quite like the little dirt creature you play as, and I quite like how they’re animated! As a roguelite, it lacks a real sense of progress, y’know? And it could really do with added variety, in rooms, enemies, and upgrades. You do have all the basics down, you just need to expand on it to make the game more in-depth and exciting! Oh, and as for the enemy spawning, there should probably be a reticle or something before they spawn, because they can and will spawn directly on top of you.
Here is the link for the game zip. Thanks for the notice guys! https://drive.google.com/file/d/10yGqgSa-EYTqCOyqg6Se8vXp-yIU6gd_/view?usp=shari... (btw it really sucks that people can play test your game and see that you made error AFTER the deadline)
I did this exact same thing. It really stinks. If you link the game here ill play it and rate it for you
I’m so sorry, but you seem to have messed up uploading the project; You only have the .exe file, but lack any of the other files needed for the game to actually run. If you talk to Shovel he might be able to help you with that?
