Amazing game! Loved the art and the voices, the fights were pretty fun but I was really hoping to take my bunny all the way to end. I could've taken it haha

Loved the visuals and voice over!! I felt a bit lost during the battles, but I stopped to read the power ups and played again later, 😊

Loved how you guys integrated the theme in this one! Great experience overall! ✨✨😊

It's games like these that make me glad I spend the time seeking out other submissions... The premise fills my heart with joy - three teddybears keeping their young human friend safe from monsters that stalk in the night. It just reeks of goodness <3 As gameplay goes, it's pretty much a boss rush, but it works for me. The Hat Man is my personal favorite, and really captures what makes this game special. There's a lot of risk built into the attack mechanics, so the theme is integrated well too. Top 3 for me!

It’s comments like this that fills my heart with joy. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 🧸

The visuals are stunning! I really loved the custom menus. Those small details add so much to the overall experience.
It’s also awesome that you included multiple gameplay options with different stuffed animals.
My only feedback would be to adjust the collision so it’s limited to the character’s feet. I got stuck a few times because the torso also had collision, and I thought I’d be able to move past it.

I wasn't expecting to find a game with voice acting. The performances are excellent, and the art style is really nice! It’s a bit of a shame that it’s so short and doesn’t offer many mechanics, but the core concept is really solid!

Thank you 🍪🙏🧸

The music, the art, the sounds,  the voice, the gameplay, and the camera movements - everything is so perfect.

A really cool concept! The art was really cool and the characters each having different personalities is fun.

Developer

Thank you 🍪🙏🧸

Pretty neat and cute game (maybe like 60% and 40% horror). I did pick all the animals instead of choosing the weakness so it's fun to explore all the different playstyles. Though I think the bear is a bit weak damage wise so it make the game drags on for so long which turtle and green long ear "cat" :P feel way more rewarding.
In the first fight the crunchy drops right at the monster feet so I was stuck there a little since needing to approach the monster so that's kinda odd.

GET THE CRUNCHY !!  🍪

wow. an incredible game, i couldn't get passed the 3rd boss with the turtle which was a shame but enjoyed myself playing this game!

Beautiful art, nice drawings. Gameplay for me is kinda boring but it's I like the concept.

Great art, nice gameplay. Question is, how to defeat ghost with turtle? I have no attacks, green bubble doesnt do damage, I just died on it. Defeated others tho.

Developer

You can reflect the white balls that ghosts shoot at you; you just need to time it correctly. Turtle is the hardest one. Thanks for playing! 🐢

This was our second game jam together with JokuPelle. The other three members were participating in a game jam for the first time. :) I wanted the voice acting to get enough spotlight since we had a voice actor on our team.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I’ll check out your game too. Thanks for playing! 🐢

Developer

Thank you 🍪🙏🧸 first time in the jam. This was so much fun, glad you liked it.

Wow what an amazing game, I couldn't stop playing, every encounter is unique and every stuffed animal you pick has it's charm, and the whole idea of switching or picking a weakness also interesting choice addition.

Ngl the first nightmare scared me the visuals and audio is so well made, good job!

Submitted(+3)

Fun little game, I really enjoyed trying beating different monsters with different plushies. The artstyle and overral atmosphere of the game is outstanding too!

Keep up the good work!

The visuals are top notch, the play loop is well conceived, and I'm always impressed when a team has time for voice acting in a one-week jam.


Some observations...

- walking "up" causes the character to face left.

- the movement speed is a bit slow for the battle sequences. A dodge or dash option would be appreciated.

- The three guardian design choice was excellent. Although, I was stubborn and suck with the rabbit. It was unclear to me - can I swap guardians outside of the end of a battle?

- That laundry monster. A legit nightmare.


Great work!

Developer

Awesome, glad to hear.  Thank you. That one is quite nasty 🍪🙏🧸

I REALLY like the game, and you guys even did the voice acting like damn, congratulations, seriously REALLY fun game, it reminds me of undertale xd. Also I'm really surprised you managed to do all this in 7 days.

Gameplay is also really fun, last boss was a bit harder which i really like, but maybe also because i just choose bunny and didn't change him once xd

Good luck in game jam and good job on the game, you all should be proud, I'm amazed honestly
