The fog effect using render targets, and some Niagara VFX elements(sprites and materials) were created before the jam in a different project and adapted to this game.

Most sound effects were created before in another project and tweaked slightly for this game.

Some sound effects sourced from WeLoveIndies (coin flip, chest opening riser).

Noise textures sourced from Epic Games sample content (some cloud noise and pixel noise for the ground).

-- Original Work --
All environment assets, gameplay code, UI and level design were made during the game jam in around 7 days(the bonus day helped a lot). Main focus was on creating original environment assets.

Hey! I made a rough walkthrough of the game since no one else had uploaded any yet. Feel free to check it out!

This is one of the best games of this game jam. Kudos to you for making such a fun game in one week.

This is a fantastic game with excellent game design, great puzzles, and a truly professional approach to gameplay. It feels like a full-fledged Steam release — my absolute favorite of the jam.
MAGNIFICENT. I really think it deserves to be fully developed and released. Pure joy — huge thanks for making such an amazing game

Developer

Thank you for the kind words. It was also a joy to work on, even under the usual game jam time pressure. I'm so happy to see you played it all the way to the end, nice one!

So far from all the entries that I've played, this one for sure feels most like an actual polished game. Great job!

Developer

I had a whole week free and went all-in on this one. Not sure I'd do it again but I'm relieved to see such positive feedback. Thanks for playing!

Incredible work! So much strategy and the visuals are so well put together! 10/10 Keep working on it!

Developer

Thank you! I almost went with an entirely different genre, so I'm really glad you liked the strategy part of the game.

That game is THE best game of a game jam I have ever played I think. The idea is so simple but brilliant, it fits the theme sooo well. It looks already super clean and polished. Give me about 20 more levels and few more mechanics and you could release this on steam as is. Insanely great job you can be proud!

Developer

Thank you so much for the encouraging feedback. I have a whole list of mechanics and level ideas I couldn't do in time for submission, but I'll definitely keep working on it!
