I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with Mark that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.
Hi, thanks for sharing!! Didn't expect to score this high on our first try with GMTK Game Jam!!
Creative idea. Good job!
Thank you so much! <3
The art is so beautiful T_T and the game play is so cute
thank youuu 😭
The art and narration are AMAZING ! The gameplay yet simple is really cool and we learn about different kinds of rope so it's really instructive, good job !
Thank you for playing <3
This was a beautiful game! really great experience. Honestly no feedback this was lovely, keep up the good work!
Thank you for playing!!
Ah, thank you so much for the compliments <3 We're planning to release a post game jam update within a month if you're interested :3
Crazy good artwork and story, really enjoyed my time!
Thanks! We're glad you've enjoyed it! :D
Great art style, I love it! Great theme interpretation too! The last level tho... I felt like Michael when he got into the water... a bit too hard for my short memory :/
Still a great game :3 good work to you all :D
Aaaaa, thank you so much!!! <3
We are aware that the last level is almost impossible to beat, don't be too hard on yourself >o< Thank you and vice versa!!!
Love the art! For future reference, you should probably add a skip cutscene button. It might lower the enjoyment for some people. Great work overall though!
Thank you so much for playing and your feedback :)
With the amount of time I spent to 3 star the last level, its a 5/5 game for me!
Omg congrats for completing it! It’s definitely way too hard 😅
Art seems master.
Great approach and Incredible artwork, I LOVE IT. Game is as fun as challenging. Good work! :)
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed our game :3
The style of the illustrations and even the scene transitions are downright gorgeous! I’ve played too many arrow key puzzles so the gameplay didn’t pose much of a challenge, but the story was certainly engaging, great job!
Thank you for playing and for your feedback :)
I am very impressed with the amount of quantity and quality of content on the art and narrative side.
Of course the shark wasn't capable of swimming hahaha.
The gameplay aspect was very light, but that last level was brutal! Wasn't expeting that level of challenge at the end.
With the story highlighting the knot meanings and the gameplay showing how to make the knots, it is a shame that I can't in some way see with calm the step by step process to make the knots or look at then finished (when I finish the inputs the score screen hides the finished knot).
Thank you so much for playing and your feedback :))
We are planning to add a "cheat book" with step by step instructions for how to tie every knot in the the post jam update as well as fixing all the issues mentioned in your and other comments.
The artwork and narrative are AWESOME. I loved it!
When I started playing, I thought it was too easy until I reached the last level… it’s impossible! I even tried to cheat, I started taking pictures with my phone and spamming the wrong arrows to see the inputs that I was supposed to remember. But there was no way to get any stars, sad.
Honestly, I had fun and I truly enjoyed the experience. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!!! We appreciate you giving us your time and feedback :3
We are aware of the boss level problem and we will make sure to fix it in a post game jam update :) Thanks again for playing <3
great art! the narration was funny and i really liked the character designs, but the gameplay was really short, still liked it though
Thanks!
