I thought I'd done well until I saw the leader board. Almost 1000 points though, so quite happy! The time was stressing me out! What a cool mechanic! Great work all round!

Amazing game! It was a little hard to figure out the controls, but luckily I had tomasz in chat to guide me! Would have been nice with a visual tutorial, but other than that I would say it's a perfect game! Very well done!!! also good job getting a leaderboard in there, I am jealous!

Well done! Leaderboards is a little sus but otherwise nice job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! The leaderboard is completely legit, there's a good reason for the outrageously high scores at the top (scroll down a few comments to find out 😭)

Very charming game with cute visuals and a fun idea. Nice job!

It looks and sounds really good! It feels very polished.

The only thing that felt confusing is that you need to start from the outer side of the clock. Personally, clicking on Shrimpy and then trying to do one of the hours intuitively led me to start from the center, then outwards. Once I figured out the right way, I had to choose either it feeling like a clock and starting farther from Shrimpy to go to the center, angling there and drawing the other hand, or starting from the center to lose less time but it not feeling like a clock. Both felt kind of unintuitive for me. Aside from maybe supporting both ways in the future if you want to, maybe now you can specify that on your page (I didn't really get it just with the tip) for others trying your game.

Anyway, that was only specific feedback.

I loved the little game overall, and I'd really like to see more of it in the future!

Edit: and most importantly, it was fun : )

The art is insanely good! I love it! The multitasking of spinning the shrimp, drawing the time, and collecting the money is very hectic and did keep me engaged. I don't know if this gameplay would be super replayable but for a game jam its perfect. Don't stop making games!

Immediately thought this could be a steam game when I saw the art! Like its actually insane! Genuinely haven't seen an analogue clock in years, so the gameplay was a bit tough for me haha. But I'm sure if it was simplified a bit more this game would be a blast! 

Submitted(+3)

Wow  what a fun and unique idea, and surprisingly tricky! The visuals and audio are great too!

Developer

Thank you so much! :D

Very silly charming game. I adored the low poly visuals and loved the watching the crabs cheer and go crazy. I thought it was neat how you had to balance spinning with drawing, I do need to point out the solutions the game wants are not accurate to how analog clocks work. For example at 7:45 the hour hand would not be on 7 but closer to 8 and at 3:30 the hour hand would be halfway between 3 and 4. But maybe it's for the best the game works the way it is now. It's more intuitive this way.

You're telling me a shrimp made this game? LOVE LOVE LOVE the art style and animations! Made for a cute and cozy game! Really fun way to use the game jam theme, the drawing mechanic is super impressive to me. Congrats to y'all for releasing a super awesome game!

The game looks absolutely amazing ! It took me a moment to figure out the clock controls but once I did it was a ton of fun. Everything is really well put together and it seems really complete. Great work !

Developer

Thank you so much!!

Amazing game!

Not just that the audiovisuals are beautiful, but the gameplay is fun and tense. The hours-drawing mechanic is very original and it keeps you hooked in the game.

I absolutely love it!
