Loved how silly this game is! I am SUPER impressed by how many different locations and characters you made in such a short time, great job!

Developer

Thank you! We did settle on the idea pretty fast and our art guys hit their strides in no time, that helps!

My screen is smaller than the 1080p resolution, so at the start I struggle a bit to play, even in full screen, but once I found a way to play this without trouble, it was a little fun experience :D

I really like how the song changes each level and the puzzle aspect of the game, for some reason the camera puzzle was the slowest for me to solve hahaha and using the missile at the end was funny

Also I like the detail of the sun in the camera level and it’s a little funny to me that the moon sells you stuff. Outside of the screen issue, I can’t think of more stuff to give feedback, maybe add more ways to let know player that the object was effective or not, like a sound, to remark it, but I liked this little game, the visuals and audio feels nice together and really display the vibe of old web games :)

we had sfx  for every item but didn't have time to include it for the jam. Thank you on your feedback! and its nice to see you beat our game!

Really cool! Finding what is most effective in each encounter was really fun. Didn't manage to finish but at least I defeated AI. Also had an issue where the healthbar was on top of the UI so I could not select items on the second column (small monitor problem I guess?). Still, great work!

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. Just put the game in fullscreen, we had an issue with the scaling. That should fix it.

Love the game! Especially all the characters and backgrounds!

Developer

Thank You!! all characters and backgrounds were drawn by me!

Submitted(+2)

I really enjoyed this concept! It felt like a mystery to solve for the items that have the best effects. Great work! Visuals were really well-done and cute. 

Developer

Thank you! I wanted it to be a little more balanced, but with the time limit it turned into good item easy, bad item impossible.

It's like I went back to the time when I was playing flash games like "Learn 2 Fly", "Epic Battle Fantasy" and It was memes about glowstone portal in Minecraft.

Exactly the vibe we were going for. Both Tyler and Gasim did an incredible job with the art.

I thought it was super fun and was the polar bear from the second the same as the end ?:)

Developer (1 edit)

The one that trades with you in the beginning is the son of the polar bear at the end. Rick Bear and Rick Bear Jr to be precise x)

Developer
