The chat system was so cool. And I really love Grumpy Hare and the cutscenes. So good all around.

Love the weird out of game mechanics your games always have, really knocked it out of the park here.
You pulled off this genre/style so well! Also loved the cutscenes (great art!) & exploitable system.
The "headless warrior" reference to the creation of the characters was funny!~
Fun exploitable system! Grumpy Hare’s strong attack and dodge roll are equally cute and badass.
Unfortunately I missed the live stream, but the use of Twitch chat was a stroke of genius! What a great way to incorporate encouragement as a mechanic.
The souls boss mechanic landed really well, and the twitch integration on stream was a really cool idea.
Using comic style cutscenes was not only a great nod that "The Warriors of Encouragevar" were suppose to be based on a webcomic, but was also just simply well executed as well. I like how Zingel movement/attacks somehow felt distinctly like a souls-like boss (though I found it hilarious that the kick goes way over Grumpy Hare's head). The twitch integration was a spectacle to see live, as you two really continue to push new 4D interactions with all of your games year after year. Lastly, are we on the moon?
Thanks Ebura-ham!!! We had alot of fun with the comics this time. And yup it’s a nod to the origins of the warriors, so glad you picked up on it :D . I haven’t drawn for the jam in soooo long and this seemed like the totally perfect time to dust off the old Apple Pencil.
And the concept was based on the Care Bears cartoon, where their town, Carealot, was on a cloud in the sky. With the Gathering Tree in the middle. So we took inspiration but pushed it way further into space to show the damage that Zingle did.
Love the interpretation of the warrior as a souls-boss!. Seeing the twitch chat intergration work live was amazing!
