Oh yeah, when we realized that, it was too late 😂 . Thanks for the feedback!

I'm a bit confused to what I'm supposed to do tho. Probably because I've never played paper mario and before your eyes, but great game nonetheless!

This is somehow addicting... I love it! Very well polished

Nice simple story with a solid puzzle. Very cute art style too. 

Love the idea given the theme. It's simple yet fun and not unforgiving. 

I love how the jump animation is just the mc spinning around

The audio was satisfying, especially the switching ones. Great game!

I always admire people who spend years dedicating their life making puzzle games. Making puzzles in puzzle games is very difficult and you nailed it. Good job. 

I finally beat it. It's frustrating, but it's really rewarding at the end. Nice game!

Add more polishing and it'd be an even better game!

I love how the enemies lining up waiting for their turn to get slashed

You mean the Ghouls?👀

So glad you enjoyed our game! We have exciting things in store, so stay tuned!

Thanks for playing! About that bug, I think there were some issues with the streaming assets, where we use json to keep the notes spawn location. Anyway thanks again for trying our game!

Lol I see. It's supposed to be representing gamedev messed up and forgot to save, so they have to redo everything from previous checkpoint. But I see how it can be cumbersome. 

Thank you for playing! 

About the camera zooming in to the player, yes I should have zoomed out the camera a little bit earlier so that players can see ahead easily. 

For the jump, yeah I have to admit, it's not supposed to do that. But I have to do something to keep the player character to stay on the platform that messes with the ground detection. There should be a better way to do it. Thanks for noticing!

I see. That makes sense. Thanks for playing our game too!

I never tried any rage game before and now I know that I suck at it. Great game tho. It's unfortunate I can't even get pass the first floor.

Love the unique art style. Love the UI too. I also like that you implemented the auto-tracking movement. 

I noticed you worked on the settings too. In my opinion, working on the settings is optional if the game is for a game jam. Is it just me?

I'm not sure this is intended, but after giving the medicine "nothing" happens. I assume this is because the game is not finished yet? Anyway, I like the the unique artstyle. 

thanks. I'll rate yours too.

Thanks. I'll check out yours too.

Glad you enjoyed it! Oh yeah that happens 😅 

Thanks for playing! To be honest me too...

Thanks!

Just played the whole game. Peak storytelling. Peak art design. It's almost as if you are not a newbie. (this is a compliment)

Thanks for your input! Yeah, I think we should spare time for the build step to make sure the game is not buggy for players. 

Hi, I just noticed that you rated on a different game of ours. Because of certain complication, I submitted two version to this game jam and you might have rated the "fail" version. If you could rate on this one, that would be great. /jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3738912. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks! I'll check out yours too

Hey everyone! This is our first game jam, and while the game’s still a bit rough around the edges, we’d love for fellow gamedevs to give it a try. Especially, if you’ve ever struggled to just get started.

Yeah, I agree. That's why I also upload the browser version too.
