This is a gem with so much character! Having to balance a trench coat full of goblins was mischievous as hell. Such a cool idea! The bumbly music fit so well for the first half, and so did the frantic music of the second half. The switch up for the second scenario was great. It reminded me of games I played as a kid where sections of the game would have a completely different set of controls and mechanics all in the name of fun. I would love to see more of what these goblins get up to. Great work, and thanks for the game!

Such a unique idea! I love the balancing mechanic-  it feels extra slick when you save yourself from falling at the very last second. I need more levels because I don’t want to stop playing!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm very glad you've enjoyed it!

Level 2 is hard!! But I completed it. Well done! The game reminds me of a coloring book. A lot of these comments mention the sound effects and I have to agree. I love how chaotic it was. The art is cute and the gameplay is fun and doesn't overstay its welcome. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Yea, it is pretty chaotic, but not all of it is by choice :)

But with the experience I've gained from this jam, I hope to make more cohesive and intentional games.

Truthfully, I really loved the lil soundtrack and all the sound effects! They are beyond cute. It's probably my favorite part of the game! You've created a super addicting game and it's a feat to be proud of. I keep finding myself coming back to this just to mess around a little more each time. If there was a score board I'd probably be top 3 by now! The colorful art adds a lot of interest too. I hope that you keep making more games, you've got the special touch!

Wow, thanks! This means a lot!

I didn't imagine that even 1 person would enjoy it this much, haha.

This is a huge encouragement for me, thanks!

But yea, I didn't have time to add any replayability or at least a scoreboard, but I hope for future jams I will do better.

Aw, of course! Hopefully I'll see you at the 2027 Big Mode Game Jam!

I just gave you a follow! I'll keep an eye out for any of your future submissions!!! :)

I was preparing to ragequit early but thank you for the checkpoints. Funny interpretation of the theme. The ending bit feels like a victory lap, nice way to end it.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I didn't think of it like that until now, but yea the 2nd half is like a victory lap.

As for the checkpoints, they were the only way I knew how to balance the game to an enjoyable level.

could talk about the gameplay, but... the story is clearly a metaphor for class struggle within developing nations. I think you've got a Pulitzer coming your way.
Also, I thought the goblins actually took the olive oil at first and was thrilled. It just feels right that goblins would thirst for the oil.

Developer

Thank you! I will remember your when I make my acceptance speech!

Very cute and fun art style. I really liked the characters and the story setup.  The only downside for me was the difficulty of balancing the characters, I would prefer it a little bit more forgiving to ease the learning curve, but I like that there are plenty of checkpoints to compensate for the difficulty. All in all, a joyful entry in the jam.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

It was pretty difficult to balance this, because while designing the movement, I've become an expert at using it.

But it seems the checkpoints made up for my skewed perspective.
