This was such a cute game! Loved the puzzles, the wholesome story, the art, the cute ending and the vibes in general. The last puzzle was challenging but pretty fun. Really liked this game! <3
Thank you for playing! Glad you liked it :)
Super cozy game!! :D I really liked the puzzles, it was satisfying to gradually learn the path to take! The cutscene at the start is really cute too. If i were to nitpick anything I would say the art styles could be a bit more consistent. There's different line weights and brushes for the lineart, and they make the characters and backgrounds feel a bit disconnected. That's just a small detail though, it's a beautiful game!
Thank you for playing! I did want the player to stand out from the background but if it’s too jarring we can fix it! Thank you for the feedback :)
Short and sweet like hot chocolate and treats! ^-^ Cute game, love the art and the puzzles were simple, but fun. Great job!
Thank u for playing :)))
ooh i luv puzzle games, this one was super cute... just a tiny nitpick would be having a smooth transition between areas 😘
Thank you for playing! I for sure have some ideas for smoother transitions just didn't have time for it whoops! Thank you for your feedback :) (I totally forgot for the jam but I also want to add crows in your honor)
I had a great time with this! Pushing the pumpkins to carve a path is a genre that’s usually tough for me, but this one feels super pleasant and well-balanced. I had to restart a few times, yet those “aha!” moments were really satisfying. Lovely cozy visuals and atmosphere, and the level design kept me thinking without feeling unfair. For me it played like a real little challenge—and a fun one. Fantastic work! 🎃✨
Thank you! I’m glad it felt well well balanced and fair! I definitely wanted it to be a challenge but not completely unplayable or too frustrating. Thank you for playing :)
This is a well made game! There's a plot and everything! Puzzle games are so difficult to make, I could never, kudos for the effort. It wasn't so easy that I found it boring and it wasn't too difficult to figure out. I never had to reset the level once! Nice visuals, good soundtrack, plenty of space for improvements on an already solid little game <3
Thank you! Very impressed that you never had to reset! You must be good a puzzle games lol. Thank you for playing :)
Cute, fun and comfy sokoban game, interesting story! pretty fun!
Thank you for playing :)
The cats are so cute, I loved the ending cutscene! Very beautifully made game, difficulty slowly increasing kept me going! I guess maybe it would be a bit easier, if inside the pumpkin patch the character movements were also restricted by the sokoban grid? Cause couple of times I moved the pumpkins just trying to pass by, but it's just a minor nitpick! Great game!
Thank you for playing! I do prefer the character having more free and fluid rpg like movement but I understand what you mean. I might see if there's a way to fix accidentally moving the wrong pumpkins but I also feel like it adds an extra bit of challenge even if it can be a bit frustrating lol. Thank you for your feedback :)
Maple is such a silly lil' cat! (Love the name, used it in my game too haha). Otherwise though, the art style and color choices are gorgeous. The music was very calming, and I enjoyed taking some time to relax with this wonderful puzzle game :D
Thank you! And I noticed you had a Maple too (great minds think alike haha)! Glad you enjoyed my game :)
Very fun puzzle game! I enjoyed the cutscene as well.
Thank you! :)
Aw cute! Lovely visuals and cutscenes, and fun puzzle gameplay. Could maybe add some more levels or mechanics to the puzzle, but overall a very sweet game, nice job :)
Thank you for your feedback :) Just because the jam was short I decided to limit it to 3 simple yet challenging levels but I do plan on implementing more levels and additional features/mechanics! Thanks for playing!
Cute cutscene and interesting level design ^^
I like the puzzle
a bit tricky but easy to understand
Thank you for playing :) Glad you liked it!
Nice and simple puzzles, very relaxing. The story is also nice. The game look really nice, but I think it would be better if there are some more particle effects.
Thank you for playing :) Not sure where I would have particle effects but thank you for your feedback!
A super charming and cute entry! great job! It's definitely interesting to combine a visual novel with sokobondn game play!
Thank you for playing :) Glad you found my idea interesting haha!
The game is charming! Intro cutscene made me laughing, I even started to ask "where the heck is that cat" too. The gameplay is nice, but I would make the push animation quicker, since you pushing the pumpkins the whole game and it's frustraing to restart after level softlock. Anyway, you did great!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the cutscene! I wanted the push animation the speed that it is just to emphasize that these pumpkins are heavy and hard to move for poor little Serena but I can see how it could be a bit slow. I'm thinking of adding an easier mode where you can rewind instead of resetting completely but I honestly was also trying to make the current levels difficult since I only had 3 of them :P Thank you for your feedback!
Very cute!
I wish the movement was on a grid, because I kept accidentally moving the wrong pumpkins, and a rewind button would be nice but that's just because I'm pretty bad at sokoban games so I kept restarting lol.
Thank you for making this game
Thank you! It is on a grid but it might be a bit misaligned. Will definitely fix after the jam :) I was also thinking of having an easier version with a rewind button but I like the difficulty of only being able to restart! Thank you for playing!
No I meant the player's movement, I was thinking like in most sokoban games, the movement is fixed where taking one step makes you walk in one direction by a fixed amount. That way you wouldn't have to worry about being misaligned with the pumpkins. But I believe that's not as straightforward as regular movement, so I understand why you did it like this.
A very comfy game, nice visuals in the gameplay, but seemed slightly mismatched style wise at times in the cutscene if i had to choose something to pick on. But a very relaxing puzzle game. Nice idea, well executed. Good Work!
Thank you for playing :) We might update some things after the jam so thanks for the feedback!
Love cats and slide puzzles!! Really cute game and story. I've experienced the intro scenario like a million times with my own cats lol.
I hit the reset button so many times, but I was having fun the whole way!
Thank you! My cats definitely love to zoom in and out of rooms but thankfully never outside! I’m glad you had fun even if it was a bit of a challenge :)
This game is fun, and I’m impressed with the level design. The story is simple and cute. It’s easy to follow, which really works well with the gameplay! I kept trapping myself at first (lol), but figuring out how to move the pumpkins to get to the end is so satisfying. Nice job making this!
Thank you! I worked really hard on the levels! Glad you were able to figure out how to win! (Thank god- or I guess me for the reset button lol). Thank you for playing :)
Very cute and comfy game, the pumpkin patches were actually challenging and I got stuck waaaayy too many times, but that made the game even more enjoyable, very satisfying to actually solve them. Nice work!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the difficulty level :)
