Great entry! This is a really fun and polished experience! Great job on all the visuals, the pixel art, the animations, everything was really cohesive. Add that to really smooth implementation of all your mechanics. Really well done! Congrats on an amazing submission! <3 Beary!
This game was pretty neat. Visually pleasing and a clever mechanic. I didn't seem to be able to feed the berries to the bear to stop hunger doing down.
Sorry I didn't make it clear enough in the tutorial, you hold right click or space bar to and hover over berries to feed.
Great storytelling, love the unique art style, music and overall fun! I didn't conserve the different colored berries before learning the game loop so I ended up with all red berries in the end. I ended up tossing red berries into the cauldron non-stop to spawn more and more trees until the ground was overrun with red berries to keep my bear fed. Not sure if there was a law of diminishing returns if you fed only one type of berry but that would've added some difficulty to the game. Also when there were too many berries on the field fps seemed to drop significantly, maybe despawning berries on the ground after a time would solve this? Other than that, nicely done and great entry for the jam!
Thanks for the kind words and feedback! The challenge can definitely be circumvented by just creating tons of the same berries but I didn't have a ton of time at the end to really balance the game, sorry! As for the fps drop, I'm surprised that's the case as the berries don't process when they are resting, I'll have to keep performance more in mind for my next project!
From the idea to the humor, sounds and visual, this is amazing. Great work!
Beautiful game, and the interaction with all the components felt great. I also really appreciated the live updates in the journal. Thanks for the game!
Super fun and addictive game. Really love the animations and sound effects. One thing I noticed is that its pretty easy to softlock yourself if you run out of one of red, blue or yellow berries. But other than that, really fun game!
The constant switching between brewing new berries and actually feeding Beary was addictive and constantly kept me on my toes. I love the Chowder-style texture on Beary that stays static even when he moves
Great game. I really enjoyed playing it.
I think I caught a soft lock on my first try - I missed somehow red berries and no more red bushes could be spawned developer needed to think about this kind of situation and show game over or think about some recovering mechanic. Second thing that happened with - I just forgot about feeding Beary while was dived deep into main goal. Some sound clues about Beary's hunger coming to the end would be great.
Great points. I've heard similar things from many other players so those are definitely things I will try to improve on for my next project! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
This is a masterpiece
Incredible presentation, there's just enough juice in all the right places and it's soooo well put together omg. Great work!
This is definitely one of my favs this jam so far for potion mixing games, the management for feeding Beary was so fun to work out!
The biggest difficulty I had was trying to tell the icons apart since everything was small, even in the recipe book it was hard to make out what ingredient was what. Maybe more distinct silhouettes or colors would have helped, but by the third run I felt fairly comfortable.
Great game!
So glad you were able to beat it! I agree that visibility is one of the weakest aspects of my game, its definitely something I will try to improve in my next project! I'll have to give your game a play!
Great game! Loved the artworks.
Obtain this win screen was really hard! This is a great game made for the jam I really like the general aesthethic and the gameplay loop, there's a lot of thoughts well putted in the game, like the 3 ways to get the potion with each berry! You really did a great work with everything, Beary must be protected!
I'm glad you enjoyed it and happy to hear you beat the game! I was worried I made it too hard and no one would see the victory cut scene or hear the music I spent so long making. I'm about to check your game out now!
Thaaank you! Mine is really simple compared with your great game haha :)
Really fun Game. Impressive to do that in 1 week as one person
Great game! Loved the design and effects for collecting berries and the bear is so cute!!
So happy to hear that! I hope her cuteness motivated you to feed her!
Solid game! This song just lives in my head rent free even though it's so simple lol.
Glad you enjoyed it! Big fan of Alchemy Dash 🙇♂️
definitely a gem
Happy to hear you liked it!
I think that is the best and the most complete game from this jam, loved it from the bottom of my heart.
Cant even imagine that you made this game alone.
It took too many hours out of my week! Glad you enjoyed :)
Nice game. It was funny. The start is a little bit long with a lot of worls, but the bear is a cool idea!
Thank you! I was struggling to get the pacing right. I'll keep your feedback in mind next time.
Amazing game!!!! I had so much fun playing it and trying to manage what berries to brew and which to feed. Very satisfying to play. And I loved the art and sound design. Great job!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I'll have to give your submission a try!
Beary fun, and berry unique. The brewing and mixing of fruits was so fun that it distracted me from actually feeding Beary!
I appreciate it! Maybe I should have given her some grumpy noises to remind you shes there haha.
