This game is incredibly cute! You two have done a fantastic job! In such a short amount of time, you managed to come up with an idea, create concept art (which looks absolutely beautiful, by the way), model everything, implement the gameplay, and even do some balancing. That's genuinely impressive, especially for a team of just two people. And the moment when the main character shrinks is the perfect cherry on top! ❤️
There are a few things I'd like to point out, though:
Overall, you've done an excellent job! I think the game definitely achieved what you set out to accomplish, and you should be proud of what you've created in such a short time.
Well done, both of you! =D ❤️
Great work on this! I was really happy to see the upgrade system in the game after each wave. Just adds a lot more depth to the gameplay. The little candle guy is so cute too and I love how he squishes lower and lower as he loses HP hahaha.
Great work though! Keep it up ^_^
thank you so much!!(◕‿◕✿) goodjob on your own submission too!
The best main character I've seen in the game so far. I don't know why, but I feel so bad when the little candle burns out. I will never light scented candles again, it's too cruel to the clandlekind 🕯️
hehehe thank you and goodjob on your own game too !!
Hi! I liked the cute concept overall!
Finally I could experienced being a candle.
Won't repeat other comments.
This is just very cute and has a lot of potential.
I would definitely love to see updates!
Kudos for you and your gf!
thank you so much this is really nice ! goodjob on your own game too ≧◡≦
The models are very, very cute! I still like the concept of protecting the babies candles, though I noticed that the babies' health doesn't matter in this current version lol
One thing I’d love to see a little more of is feedback when attacks hit. Sometimes I wasn’t completely sure whether the flame was actually hitting the target. Maybe something like a brief flash, small hit effect, or a red flash on damage could make it a bit clearer. And since we have to click to shoot, there were a couple of times when I accidentally clicked the upgrade button instead..
But besides that, this is a really cute game and I had a lot of fun with it!
yayy im glad you liked it ! goodjob on your own game too this gamejam has been super fun and the feedback on the game i helped with was very useful too (✿◠‿◠) the health is supposed to matter but my bf forgot to code it which is okay!
Hi!
First, what I loved:
The sketches and 3D models are a genuine display of talent and artistic direction! As a solo creator who wears many hats, I know how difficult it is to bring an idea to life and successfully translate it into a game, and I feel like you absolutely nailed it.
The lighting, the characters, the enemies, the environments, and that lovely little detail of the candle needing a companion to shoot completely won us over (I played it with my wife!).
We felt the scope was perfectly defined, and that's what makes the whole experience feel like a beautiful, one-time feast. Something small, carefully crafted, and meant to be enjoyed from beginning to end.
What I felt was missing:
I really missed having some feedback when shooting the pumpkins. I feel like that was the key little detail needed to make the experience feel complete.
The cards are a brilliant mechanic, but I feel they didn't quite get the attention or importance they deserved.
Thank you for sharing this small and beautiful experience! I really hope to see more from this new two-person studio!
Best!
thank you for your feedback !! your game is incredible , ive played it i was super impressed goodjob and congrats (✿◠‿◠) the game will be continued after the jams over just so me and my bf can have something we made together and before the feedback we didnt even think about the response with pumpkins we just wanted to add more content mainly .. thank you a lot !!!
Super cute art, I would say my baby candle didn't seem to matter at all, but I see you put that in your "known bugs" section. Good job to you both!
thank you so muchh (✿◠‿◠) there wre a few bugs but we plan on continuing the game to have better aesthetics , less bugs , tutorials and more content ! goodjob on your own game submission too!
love the art and use of limitation ! i cant believe you made all the visuals and 3d models all under the time limittt but the game was a little confusing :( some more explanation of mechanics would've helped greatly but still congrats on the submission!
Thank you for playing and im so glad you enjoyed it! I can see how it can be confusing at first, a tutorial is something we will definately focus on in our next game
the 3d models are really cute! are you an expert at it
tysm! i wouldnt say im an expert but i appreciate the compliment!
Lovely game!
Also, I’m a big fan of Juno.
thank you ! and juno is awesome ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡
I think the art is really good and the game feels responsive, but the hp bar for the small candles doesnt actually matter, it can be hard to understand the controls and mechanics and i dont like how the enemies can attack you off screen. Also the wait time between waves is kind of long and its easy to click on the upgrades when u dont want to.
thank you so much ! it was something that wasnt coded by accident and we cant resubmit (◕︵◕) but we are working on a tutorial now and will edit the description to hopefully make it more clear ! ty for the rest of your feedback too and goodjob on ur game submission
The game is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The artwork is PURE GOLD!! The gameplay felt a little stiff to me, though, and I had some trouble figuring everything out at first... But honestly, I still had a GREAT time playing it!!! Really enjoyed this one!! GREAT WORK!!!
omg thank you !! (✿◠‿◠) we are planning on working on the game a little more after the jams over with the given feedback so hopefully that fixes the disrupted flow everyones feeling ! a tutorial will be linked before the jams over and then added into the game later on thank you for ur feedback and congrats on your own game ill have to play it for sure ≧◡≦
Looks very cool
this is really cute… will you ever finish it?
yes !! ≧◡≦ we are planning on using the feedback to fix the game and make it look and feel better to play thank you for the feedback
cool concept!
thank you sm! from the looks of your game it definitely is a good concept too so i gotta play (✿◠‿◠)
good concept, i missed how to fill the bottom bar though, it doesnt seem to kill though
my bf forgot to code some stuff related to it :( we didnt have time for a tutorial either but , you walk to the pond to get rid of your flame then you can go over to the wax bucket at the back and take it to the little baby candles to bring their health back up ! normally when the wax of the babies goes down the game is supposed to end , tysm for your feedback though
the pain when you realize you forgot to code x after uploading
(◞‸◟)
Damn, really cool that you added the concept art to the page, really elevates it!
It wasn't immediately clear to me how to heal the babies & what their use was, but maybe that was because once their wax fully melted I didn't get hit anymore ^^'.
Also, the music is now stuck in my head, good job!
a main menu, settings and tutorial was something we did wanna add but we ran out of time because we started a bit late :( the games also supposed to end once the wax babies run out but it wasnt coded yet lmao and thank you for your feedback !congrats on your own game submission 😄
I love the concept of the game, you used the limitation in a very creative way, and the art was really really good. But I did struggle to shoot the enemies sometimes, the aiming felt weird because of the viewpoint I think. I would love to play a finished version of this.
thank you for the feedback ! I think if we were to finish this through a boss fight or more polished animations and background then the camera angle or aiming is definitely something that could be changed😄goodjob on your own game as well btw!
The art is great!
thank you ! so is yours , congrats on ur game submission
