Finally gotten around with trying this one. The puzzle was very good! But I kind of just suck at these kinds of game. You don't know how hard I laugh when I saw the name BAWKtracking, and the fact that the chicken do in fact BAWK every time he moves. My only nitpick would be that I think you guys might have forgot to loop the backing track or something, since eventually I took so long that I stopped hearing music haha. Anyway very entertaining puzzle game, great job!

Developer

Thankyou so much for playing! Yeah we forgot to make the bg music loop. We realized it quite literally after submissions ended. We will fix it after the jam.

Developer

Thankyou so much!

really insane concept of rewind and reuse of step counter, each level has a twist! really a smart use of the theme, one of the best games played in this jam so far! and also you made the "Count Down" concept in your level index (starting from 10 to 1) that's really insane idea.

Developer

Thankyou so much for playing our game and glad you liked our idea! Theres still some stuff left to polish and the last level having more actions than intended but we really enjoyed making this game so, were also glad you enjoyed it too!

Super cool game with a simple mechanic that was well expanded over the levels. Art design reminds me a lot of Stephen's Sausage Roll, which is one of my favorite puzzle games ever. Congratulations

Developer

Thankyou so much for playing! I looked it up, and I see what you mean!

Developer

This is so cool :D it has the just one more level effect on me

Thankyou so much!

the sound ☺ 🍞

Bawk. (thanks for trying our game)

Submitted

Thank you , can you try my game 

Submitted(+1)

I had a similar idea early on, but I couldn't crack the level design, so I shelved it. You've handled it brilliantly! By the way, the SFX are interesting.

Developer

Thankyou! natojuu created all of the levels as I adjusted them a bit in the final day! We completely forgot to add the other sfx the moment after we submitted!

This is a really clever puzzle game and a great twist on the countdown theme. You should defintely continue to work on this after the jam ends. I feel like there needs to a visible feedback effect when a certain gimmick stops you (ex: stepping on a burnt plate). Sometimes I didn't understand the reason I lost. 

Developer(+1)

Thankyou so much! We will work on the game a little bit more once the jam ends, adding stuff that didnt make the final build (and fixing bugs) Thanks for playing our game!

Submitted(+1)

Great little puzzler, it's the first jam game I've finished to the end so far. It took me a little bit to figure out what some of the mechanics were, like the grill tiles that killed you after you stepped on them once.

Developer

Thankyou!

such a fun and amazing game 

loved the idea of being able to reverece 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I've seen your game before when it was in development. We had similar ideas so I have to think of something different. Looking forward to try your game tomorrow!

Varied game with cute chicken could a person possibly ask for more???

(Also, on a side note, love your username haha, pure chaos, mr  HARHARHARHARHARHARHARHARHARHARHARHARHAR, good job this is fire!) 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you so much! Maybe when we have the motivation after the jam, we will add a bit more levels including all the bug fixes.

I loved seeing another game in the jam about chickens lmao. The concept is so amazing, and I loved the puzzles they were so creative, gave me serious baba is you vibes. This is the best use of rewinding time in the jam I've seen till now. Absolute BawkBawk 🙌🙌

Developer

Thank you so much!  Baba is you is one of miniscule inspirations! There were more levels and mechanics that didnt make it to the final build and some were hidden in the game files.

Submitted(+1)

super fun gameplay and cohesive mechanics. The invert tiles are a little unclear though.

Developer

Thank you!! The inverted tiles means that anything in it only activates when bawktracking! A normal key can be collected normally but when its inverted, it can only be collected by bawktracking!

Submitted(+1)

Got some very nice variety here! The bomb levels were the most interesting to chart a path through, while I didn't quite get what the inverted tiles do. Managed to figure it all out nonetheless and enjoyed myself.


Also a contender for best titular pun and sound design of all time

Thankyou so much! Bawk kwab!

Submitted(+1)

bawkbawkbawk  but if you bawk bawk you could probably get a more bawkbawkbawk.

Joke aside having the list of mechanics in the page helped but having a bit of smooth tutotialization helps, sometime that gets delayed to the last bit of the jam (we are guilty of this!) but should be part of the loop design.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Yeah we could've done that... A simple text explaining the mechanics and the level name was planned but we had 2 hours left and had to fix bugs (still didnt catch them all). Thanks for the feedback!

BAWK BAWK!!!
