Amazing game!

I love the idea of discovering the mechanics during gameplay.

I really liked the idea of adding eggs, especially because I was about to go crazy because I couldn't complete the level ahah

Developer

haha I assume that’s level 4 you’re talking about! I should have made it more obvious but I hoped that discovery would feel interesting too :) thanks so much for playing and glad you enjoyed!

I was too small brained to beat level 8 but this was amazing, I really love the pixel art style you went for alongside the really beautiful soundtrack. I've seen plenty of puzzle games with the limited turn pushing mechanic but this was done in a nice way with a cute worms vs birds mechanic. The snow mechanic of freezing eggs to prevent hatching and the combining of eggs was so cool. Just really solid work, however the game lagged and had popping noises during the music sadly. Still, I loved what I played.

Developer

Thank you for the nice words and detailed thoughts! Sorry about some of those technical issues- I'm trying to get rid of them for the post jam build so I appreciate the input! Glad you enjoyed overall :)

I love the art and music! The combining of eggs was a really neat mechanic.

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! :)

Good, cozy adventure! Love it, music and worm/chicken combo is awesome!

Developer

Thank you I'm very glad you liked it!

Nice game - the art looks good and I like the music a lot!

The puzzles were fun, although there were a couple times I was stuck on a puzzle, and wanted to go back to the map screen to try a different level. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you I'm very glad you liked it! Returning to the map screen is definitely intended for when you get stuck, as you may learn something later that helps you come back and complete a level :)

ahh ! so sad to see the incompletable level, i wanted to collect all the skulls and complete the revenge of the worms! 

Good game, i like the art and the style a lot, i will admit i was hoping for a little more than the traditional blockpusher game functionally, but idk, i think pretty much everything else makes up for it - the animations are cute, the game is solid, the puzzles took thinking but i never got crazy stuck, i enjoyed myself :)

that stupid rotating worm

Developer

I'm sorry 😭 I have a list of to-dos once the voting is done and I can't wait to fix it up for future visitors. Very glad you enjoyed it! And I suppose you're right about the mechanics being on the more typical side- I had more complex ideas in mind but I had to trim things down to fit the 4 days. Maybe one day I'll commit to a big project for bigger ideas!

Good Game!  I want more levels!

Developer

Thank you! Haha I wish I had time, plus I have other game ideas I'd be more excited about :)

Submitted(+1)

the game's pixel art is gorgeous! and everything looks so consistent together. I was confused about the weird creepy bird skulls at first until i realised oooh they're the birds i've killed.. damn! well done!

Developer(+1)

Very glad you liked the art! I perhaps sunk more hours into it that I should have put elsewhere lol, the skull for example took too long but I'm happy it had its impact :)

Great puzzles - level 11 had me stumped for a while. I would have liked a faster animation speed, personally - it felt a little sluggish, I thought at first it was a performance issue. The level select is great - rare to see that kind of tying together in a jam game.

Developer

Thank you! And your point is well-taken about the movement speed. I considered allowing the player to bypass the animation by pressing the directional key before it's done, I will make that change post-jam. Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted(+1)

The open world level select confused me at first, but I liked it in the longer run! I played all 11 levels and every single one was well designed, and all the mechanics were interesting. I particularly like the snow tiles. Good work!

Developer(+1)

thanks so much, very glad you enjoyed!

Submitted(+1)

Really great game! Interesting level design and beautiful art. The only thing what confused me ui-wise was the level selection, otherwise I love it!

We would also love to hear your feedback on our game! :)

Developer

Thank you! Yeah the overworld have been explained better, but I’m glad you enjoyed! I will certainly try your game out and give my thoughts :)

Really good puzzle game kept me through the end. Great work!

Developer

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it:)

Well done sokoban + count down game! Too bad I couldn't complete the game because of level 10 and tombstone near level 11 and 12. But it was fun nonetheless.

Developer

thanks so much for playing, glad you enjoyed!

Very very well polished puzzle game!! I loved how cozy and simple the style was and how well designed the puzzles were (as bad as I am at puzzles, I can't really critique too hard lol all I can say is it had me scratching my head lots). The game has some wonderful pixel art and is among some of the most visually consistent games I've seen (great job on the game page as well), and puzzles were very satisfying to solve. This is probably because of my own bad eyesight, but in the beginning it was a little bit difficult to tell which tiles I could move to and which I couldn't without trial and error - I don't see anyone else with this problem so I genuinely just think I have bad eyesight haha.

I love cute and simple characters, I doodled your worm


Developer

Omg this is the greatest doodle ever I’m very honored! I’ll include it on my game page soon! Your point about which tiles are walkable is not unique, I have friends and family who were equally unsure. I suppose that’s a lesson for next time. I’m so happy you enjoyed and thanks again for the doodle!

Cool way to incorporate the theme, not really my type of game but this was still really well made.

Developer

Thanks for playing and I'm glad you like it!

Clever twist on sokobon! The countdown timers are really integral to the gameplay. The puzzles were just the right kind of difficulty. I got stuck for a good while on level 11, but when I eventually got it, it felt very satisfying.

Great art style. Everything is clear in function and looks cohesive and polished. The palette is also wonderful (thanks for crediting it, lospec seems like a cool community!)

Music is a good fit too.

Overall, it's a really well executed entry. I honestly can't think of ways you could've improved on it. 5 stars on all criteria from me :)

Is the worm pixelated 3D? Its form looks really consistent.

Too bad level 10 was unbeatable, thanks for the disclaimer in the description else I'd probably have wasted a lot of time trying to make sense of it. Can you share what was going to happen after completing all levels?

Developer(+1)

Hey thanks for the super thoughtful and kind comment, and very generous rating! Don't worry, you didn't miss any cool ending, I suppose you may find it satisfying to see all the bird skulls on their pedestals in the overworld but that's about it. The worm and everything else is fully hand drawn, but I did 3D model a bird skull to use as reference for the spinning skull animation :)

This is a cool chill puzzle game

Developer

Thank you!

Best game of the jam so far. Too bad level 10 is impossible, that might ruin the fun for people who don't read the description. Maybe make it bigger and put it at the top of the page?

Developer

Wow that's high praise, thank you so much! I did as you said and puta  big warning right at the top, thank you for the suggestion.

What an amazing game! Absolutely beautiful art style, AMAZING level design, very satisfying, i was dumbfounded on how many new mechanics you added (was fortunate to read the comments before playing). Easily one of my highest rated games!!!

Developer

Your comment is too kind! I’m so happy you like it and glad you read my warnings lol, I’m honored to be one of your highest rated :)

Besides that level 10, one of my teammates recommended this and was pleasantly surprised! 

Developer(+1)

That's super nice of your teammate to recommend it! Very glad you both liked it :)
