Clever mechanics and very polished look, this is great overall!

Really cool idea and very tightly executed I feel! I wish that the monsters would surviave a little longer, I was filling out the board of the zombie and the Round dude, excited to see them work in tandem by breaking graves and collecting the loot, but they seemed to die to quick to get real use out of it. 

Still though I had a good time with this, it was fast paced and hurt my hand to click a lot so you know the countdown theme was incorporated well. The art is lovely, all around a great entry, nice one!

Hi, thanks so much for playing! ❤️ 

We really appreciate the feedback! Unfortunately, there was a small bug with the zombie health bars, so they didn't match the actual health; since we want to keep working on the project, we’ll fix that and, as planned, there will be lots of new features in the next demo!

This is fantastic! The visuals are all extremely polished, down to little VFX animations that make putting together the monsters all the more satisfying. All the pixel art, from the tetris-like organs to the backgrounds and the thumbnail looks great. I will say, the game is a bit difficult: I was only able to get about 3 perfect monsters before I hit the end, I simply didn't have enough parts most of the time. I also found myself confused as to what the different monsters did. The traditional Frankenstein's  Monster guys seemed to be digging, but the spiders just sort of... sat around? Not sure. The bit of progression hinting at a larger version has me excited though. I'm interested to see how this plays with more content, since the core gameplay loop has already proven to be quite fun!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for the detailed feedback! 😊
Yeah, the game definitely needs some balancing and tuning. The spider monsters actually collect the dropped items. The idea was to first automate the digging with the zombies and then the collecting with the spiders, encouraging the player to switch between different molds to keep the automation going. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Ah, I wondered if I could switch between them, but it seemed that I was unable to. That makes a lot more sense!

Wow I really liked this one – the vibe, the lighting, the polish was all really good. I loved the pixel art and the execution of all the vfx and sounds was really on point.

I think the pixel art and art itself is a really solid point as well – this is insane for 4 days of work, so really nice job.

Thank you so much for playing, and thanks for the kind words! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!

Nice work! I really appreciate all the effort put into the sprite work, animations, and game juice. I will say however, I found some of the text hard to read because of all the bloom and moving around. The M and W characters look kinda like blobs. So I’d improve the way you text in this game

Overall, I think the mechanics were really fun! The core gameplay loop is pretty unique and fits well with the theme. I honestly can’t believe you guys did all this in the limited time. Great work!

Developer

Haha, thank you ❤️! We ended up sleeping around 4 hours a night to get everything done. Really appreciate the kind words, and thanks for pointing out the text readability issue too. We'll definitely improve that!

Nice demo! It was really fun and engaging, and I found myself getting invested in the progression much faster than I expected. The demo ended right when I was ready to keep going, which is always a good sign. :)

Great job, and good luck in the jam! If you have some time, we'd also love for you to check out and play our entry. We'd really appreciate your feedback!

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it 😊
And sure! I'd be happy to check out your game!

Interesting idea and lot's of polishing here, but the game lacks some kind of a final goal or something

Thank you so much! ❤️

I just played Ninja Sushi Bomb and I love it! Very funny! Congrats!
