I enjoyed the hand drawn cinematics, I could see a game filled with timmy's accidental death causing to be a pretty fun adventure.
Hi!
Thank you for your comment ! It motivates me to brainstorm how we could continue this game whilst keeping its charm ^^ definitely a challenge now that the *big magic reveal* was presented in the demo (i'm sure I can do it but it'd be fun to add some pizzazz haha)
thank you again for playing <3 I hope you had a nice gamejam experience ^^
i cant believe how ungrateful that baker was for sleeping on timmy's magic trick.I thought it was pretty funny. It reminded me of those old Flash adventure games.
Hello! Thanks for playing ^^
This comment makes me so happy because a lot of my game design ideas actually come from those games ;u; We need more of them I swear! (i.e. any game you see on my acct from here on will prolly be very heavily flash game inspired xD)
Thank you so much for playing <3 and sorry for my delayed response!
I absolutely love the ending moment. The contrast from the storybook art style(which is adorable by the way) to the quick switch back to pixel art was so well executed, and definitely came as a shock to me. From that beginning I could feel the dark undertones to a very cute exterior, and when that switch happened it was beautifully done. (Sorry for the vagueness trying to keep it spoiler free :) )
I even had this amazing moment at the end with the final action. It felt very Zelda-like, and the telegraphing of that moment from the beginning is amazing. In fact all the telegraphing was well-executed, and I never felt lost or like the game was holding my hand too much.
I am a hug fan of the pixel art, especially on Tim and Peep. As someone new to pixel art it was inspiring to see how well executed the character design is. It was all completely readable with very defined silhouettes. Not even to mention the shading and texture work. The 3 tone shading on Tim's hat was especially impressive, and I love how in the character art of Peep his fire is round and flowy.
As someone who also included a Top of the Morning easter egg, I loved the implementation. I really enjoyed that it cropped up as a dialogue choice.
There were a couple of small bugs, namely if you push the esc key at any point the music from the title screen will play over the rest of the audio continuously, and I had no way to exit out of the game once I was done so I just had to force close the application. Otherwise, it was pretty seamless.
An absolutely amazing little project, and would love to see where it goes!
Hi!!! Thank you for taking the time for playing and leaving this very developped comment <3 it means a lot to us !
As the artist I'm geeking at your appreciation for my pixel art as this was my first ever approach with that style (I've only ever touched Aseprite once prior to draw a cat XD) so to see I'm already on the right track warms my heart! I'm so proud of the Peep flow you have no clue, it was just so fun to animate!!!
Which build did you download if I may ask so that I can ship off your comment about the sound off to our programmer who is working on polish :3? I would love to remedy that!
Thanks again for your boost in confidence with our project! I have more in store, it's just a matter of weaving it smoothly into or within our current demo X3 I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us!!
I hope you had a wonderful experience in this game jam!
Absolutely adorable game 🔥
Hello!
Thank you so much <3 it means a lot ;u;
I did not see that coming hahaha
well done :)
Hi!
Thank you for playing our game :) I'm glad your experience seems to match others' concerning the plot x3
Apologies for the delay, I was taking a little jam break post-results !
What cute little game! Would love to see it more fleshed out with more puzzles and stuff!
Thanks for playin!!
I'm hoping to add more npcs and puzzles as I had hoped but as for the jam version, it was definitely restricted due to scope XD but I'm thinkin about how to develop this lil guy's story further seeing that people enjoyed this lil demo c:
Very well done! The story and characters are very fun I love the characters innocence.
Young Boy was my favorite character ;(
He was just hungry..... ;(
Thank you!!!
We are all Young Boy stans in this house. Who knows tho, maybe he'll survive the ordeal ^^
HA???????? It was so nice and vibey overall until that massive plottwist LMAO. Really well done, the narrative was great and overall execution was good. Would love to see a more polished or even extended version of this. Good work!
LOL that reaction XDD I'm really glad you had a positive experience with our game despite the music/sfx bug ;u;
We have actually updated our browser version and provided a .zip file of the most polished version (WITH SOUND) so if you want to try that out feel free!
Our one programmer is also hard at work doing some xtra polish for the dialogue, and any other sort of oddities that lie around our little project, so there may be an even more polished one in the future ^^
As for the extended, I do want to try to develop more on this story as I see it has potential and see that people liked it as it was for a demo ^^ I just gotta figure out a way to preserve the charm c: stay tuned tho, we may develop it for other gamejams (like new chapters in accordance to presented themes)!
This game was super fun! I love the story telling from Timmy's perspective being very genuinely child-like, and then the reality that we as the player get to see. Super creative!
I did play the Jam version, and was sad that it didn't originally have music because it would have added to the environment.
Hi there!
Thanks for playing our game ^^ I agree wholeheartedly that the music version would have significantly improved the overall experience (curse you Unity!!!) :C But I'm glad that the gameplay went smoothly enough for your playthrough
If I may, as the voting period has ended, we have updated our browser version with some nice polish and the missing/sfx so you can enjoy the game as we had intended to deliver it ;u; feel free to give it a shot if you would like!
Broooo it was going so sweetly WHY DID IT TAKE SUCH A U TURN? XD I nah I loved it and now I'm hooked. The art is adorable in both art styles and just the game as a whole! :)
Hi D'arque! Sorry for the delayed reply I've been taking a slight breather since the end of the rating period XD
Thank you so much for playing though <3 it means a lot to me (the artist) that you enjoyed the visuals as much as you did ! I appreciate your comments altogether!
very cute art! had fun hanging out with you on stream!
very charming little game, love the take on the theme.
will be back to revisit after the jam to see the fixed up version and I hope you continue to work on it!
GG
Hi Morrigan!!!
Our new updated music filled version is available on browser with some nice polish by one of our programmers ^^ Not much has changed fundamentally but I do say that the music and sfx improves the immersion and ambiance significantly! Do give'er a try whenever you have the chance :) Thank you for playing the GameJam version <3 It feels fair to have gotten the ratings we had for the build we provided ^^ I just wish we had the time to fix our audio issues ;u;
the game design was so adorable that i forgot it's a grim reaper inspired game, i was SHOOK when i saw what happen to bjorn. a lovely fun simple game :D
Thank you cupid :) I'm glad you enjoyed your brief experience of Tim's climb to fame as the world's best magician ! Poor Bjorn did miss out though ;)
Enjoyed playing! Loved the doodle artwork! Also loved tim's innocence at the ending of bjorn's "naptime" as well! Thanks for the recommendation and hope you enjoy my reaction via stream! :D
Hey man, please excuse my late reply ;-; I took a breather after rating period was over xD I think I really needed it
I'm glad you took the time to play our game :) I enjoyed your reaction although you poor thing, you were so beat from all the games you had played XD I hope you equally got some rest after this jam!
No worries! hope you had some great rechargers yourself :D
Apologies on my behalf because that stream was I think my longest stream ever and it was getting rough talking for so long haha
Great concept and Baker Bjorn's "naptime" was a shock to say the least XD! Really fun game, great work!
Hi! Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed Bjorn's story <3
I'm looking forward to playing your game soon (it's late here xD) but it will be gotten to, promise <
THIS WAS SUPER GOOD!!! i was a little confused at first but got the hang of it! i cant lie, after showing the baker our magic my jaw was on the floor the ENTIRE TIME. the art is wonderful and I love how Peeper just played along with whatever story Tim was told. this was great! i was totally able to get up here though, by going into those lighter square on the right side and walking up! just wanted to let you know :3
Little did you know, Timmy had developped spidey powers which have unfortunately disappeared in the bug-killer version (post-jam experience version xD)
Thank you for taking the time to play our game and thank you for sharing your experience. this bug has been well known and squished (as mentionned above)!
i think you should let timmy crawl around the roof, yknow, as a magic trick :3
Timmy yearns for the stars XD I can take note of this for the next installation tho (if we make one) but i like the idea :) thank you !
Real nice game you got. The music was great, the story was great, the baker going to.... "sleep" was great. Can't wait to see more if there is..
Thank you for taking the time to play the game <3 I hope your teammate got to experience it alongside you and if not, I hope they can someday (even if not during rating period!)
I would love to develop this game more in fact the initial plan was to have 3 "magic" acts to the story (but we only cooked up 1):D it's great to see such a strong reception !
I can't wait to try your guys' game tomorrow and hope to see yall in stream :333
SO CHARMING!!
Thank you !!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D Alykas is off to play your game as we speak ^^
SO worth playing the patched version! The music is wonderful, the gameplay fun, and the story? Damn I cough-laughed. That was great! Super excited to see if this goes further.
This brings us such joy, thank you for trying out the patched vers :3 it creates a more immersive feel to it that we unfortunately could not cook up in time for submission but I am still happy to share it for those who wish to experience it as it was to be <3
Very funny game, I really enjoyed playing it! Would love to see this expanded! :)
Thank you !!! I hope to get the opportunity to develop it more and actually get a nurse act in someday :333 we shall see what the future holds for Timmy
Really enjoyed this one! Loved the writing, and the character sprite is adorable! The main concept of the story is a lot of fun and I think this would definitely find an audience if you choose to continue to develop it! Best of luck with whatever work you do in the future!
Hi Bat Croissant Games (loving this dev name!!)
Thank you so much for trying it out :3 I definitely have ideas in my brain simmering on the off chance we wish to push this game further!
I can'T wait to try your game tomorrow ! hope to play it for you on stream ^^
