While a bit light on theme and limitation, absolutely incredible little gem! The UI is very well polished and feels super tactile and satisfying. 

Cool game, but I didn't see how the jam's limitation is used, maybe I'm just dumb. And the gameplay is pretty routine. I admire that you drew on paper and then scanned it, and it looks really beautiful. I'll definitely try doing something similar in the future!!

I love Dogg, especially how his little tail wags when you're digging up a fossil

Awesome game, very chill and satisfying gameplay loop and I liked reading the fossil facts in the collection log. The ending was very touching as well.

Absolute masterpiece, it's like you combined backpack management with animal-crossing-like cozy vibe perfectly UwU

• The UI/UX design and competency really deserves a 6 star rating on Polish alone, you can put this on Steam.
• Art and music fits together very well, the pawprints left on the beach, and the simple piano loop with ambient sea waves made it super comfy to dig fossils.
• Gameplay could have bit more variation as the upgrades and weather doesn't impact the playstyle much, but it is still fun and rewarding to fill the collection one by one.
• Love to see the behind the scene story ❤︎

The puzzle mode is a nice touch too, thanks for making and sharing!

Fantastic art style with a fun, cozy little loop. I played for about 15 days before taking a break to rate/leave my feedback. During my time with the game so far, I found my stress melting away as I hunted for new fossils with each new day. The loop was easy to understand and I liked the progression system, but I wanted more tension or for the loop to evolve or somehow change as I continued to collect more and more fossils. Overall it's really nice, and I LOVE the behind-the-scenes footage y'all shared on the game page as well.  

Some thoughts on potential improvements:

• I feel like your hit boxes for player interactions were a little too generous at times—on several occasions I accidentally found myself triggering my home base/unexpectedly ending my day, once right after starting a new day even. This applied to digging up spots on the beach, too, where it felt like I should have been a little closer to the digging spot before I'd be able to check for a fossil.
• The audio is pleasing, but the background music loop is a little repetitive after several days in a row. You've got great ambient SFX already going  in the background, and I'd be curious to see how your game would be experienced differently if you relied less on having a constant BGM loop and instead only played the music at key transitions. Alternatively more variation in tracks would help, too!

Damn this is way too polished for a jam game good job, (also there is one fossil that looks like saddam  meme picture)

WAAA this game is so cute and cozy! I really love the artstyle with the fossils and character, the UI was super clean as well! Love the fossil hunting gameplay and having the puzzle mode on top of that is crazy!! I love puzzle games like these, so this was such a lovely treat. All the little bonuses to the bag collection and upgrades were great as well! The music was very charming and cute as well, I was wondering if their music was completely free for people to use (with crediting of course), or did you ask for permission? 

Such a great game overall, congratulations to everyone on the team! 

Well polished cute and cozy game!  Who doesn't like strolling along a beach?  Nice usage of the palette in many places.  Cool inventory mechanic and tons of fossils to collect.  Comfy music to bop along to and enjoy the days recreation.  I like the theme since I've been rockhounding on beaches recently haha

Holy polish, Big fan of the art style and UI work!

Wow, this is the most polished game I’ve seen so far!! As a jam entry, this couldn’t get any better. Everything already feels really balanced, from the weather changes, to the amount of time you spend digging, to the transition between the days. It all makes for a very natural sense of progression.
