How does your game fit the theme?
There is a big storm coming. You need to gather supplies and get to the storm shelter before the storm arrives.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes.

Fun game. Fits the theme well and the cat was quite frustrating in a good way.
Love the idea! fits the theme really well too, good job!
Loved the 60 Seconds! gameplay, took me a while how to complete the enjoy the view, and the freaking cat!!
I know who I'm not saving during a storm! A nice little challenge once you get the hang of things. I think the art worked well and I liked that tripping animation. There was an odd situation where I would be putting items in storage and the game would just end even though the storm meter was only half way (I wasn't close to the text to end the game).
Nice work. I went back a few times to see how many stars I could get.
Thanks for playing! You probably interacted with the armchair next to the storage cabinet. It ends the run and I didn't have time to add 'are you sure?' check to prevent accidents like that. It's on the todo list for the post jam update though! :D
Very calm game (at least before the storm). I think this is really nice all around nice job!
Really great graphics, especially the tomatoes. I didn't really get how to achieve the enjoy the view and exact storage objectives consistently, but I guess figuring them out through trial and error is also part of the game's appeal. Some minor bugs: the cat would sometimes get stuck in either the extreme left or right corners (which made it impossible to get the mop), and sometimes after tripping, the person's movement speed is reduced. Could also add some audio/more possible interactions with the cat since it is a central part of the game's theme.
Thanks for the thorough feedback!
Yup, the bonus objectives were meant as little trial and error achievements. Enjoy the view is when you idle outside until animation changes. The exact storage is all 3 bars filled with no overfill (exactly 10 food, 10 utility and 10 happiness.) I will be fixing the cat pathing and the walk/run animation bug in the post jam update.
This game fits the theme the most by far. The fact that you made all the graphics yourself is awesome. The buildings, the fields, the slowly approaching storm, all really well done. Took me a while to figure out that it was the cat that was tripping me up lol. Good game.
Yup, the cat is the villain hehe! That's awesome you liked it! Thanks for playing!
A very cool game, the graphics look stunning, but audio could use some work. UI felt good but i wish there was an "Are you sure" menu before completing the game.
8.5/10 :>
Thanks! Adding 'are you sure' check to the to do list.
cute, always love when there's a cat, and funny mechanic to avoid tripping! having the checklist show 'completed' when I got the first round of items made me confused about filling up storage at first, but got it eventually!
Thanks for playing haha! I wish I managed my time better to make a proper tutorial. It's coming in the post jam update!
Great graphics! A fun idea with a cat too, haha! I did not understand how to get "exact storage" though.
I would greatly appreciate you rating my game. It's a strategy-action mix with base management and real time combat!
Thanks for the feedback! The exact storage is the exact storage capacity, no overfill. So 10 of food, 10 of utility, and 10 of happiness. I had to rush at the end and didn't implement a proper tutorial sadly. It's coming in the post jam update though!
I enjoyed playing Stormbound, well done! I left you a comment and a rating.
Well done on your submission, and the art and sound are spot on for a windy farm!
10/10 would faceplant over cat again
I could've beat the level! But that cat got in my way!
Great atmosphere, and that dang cat was a great way to add a little challenge and fun to the game. The movement was definitely jarring, as it slowed down at times and sped up at others. Great game so far!
Thanks for the feedback! I will be fixing that one with the post jam update.
There is a bug with the walk animation not playing properly so it looks like you are running at half speed. I made it so you automatically switch to walking without pressing space if the cat is on top of you when you get up. It's so you don't instantly trip again.
Very fun take on the theme, and the cat was a very creative way to add challenge to the game. The one thing I noticed that could be improved upon was the movement was a little janky when you are holding space near the stairs, but otherwise you did an amazing job!
Thanks for playing! Good eye! The movement polish is at the top of the list for the post jam update.
I couldn't help but laugh every time I tripped over the cat. Something that I never would have thought to add to the game but it was a great added feature. The rest of the game was great too and I had to keep playing until I got a perfect score. Great job!
Thanks for playing! I'm very happy to hear you played until full completion, that's the biggest compliment! :D
I love your game! I love the style, the concept, the art, and the kitty! Like the other review said, a perfect game jam game.
Thanks so much! :D
Great vector art and gameplay ! had a laugh playing this one :-)
I totally loved this! Such a great and funny idea and well executed as well :)
The cat was in the way!!!
Love score system, this way you could have as much challange as you like.
Art was lovely and it aws chill game overall. Good job.
Thanks! The cat is always in the way hehe!
Good game, well done, and best of luck!
This is a PERFECT gamejam game
1) Simple exact gameplay and score driven allows for replayability
2) Funny premise, the joke really lands here, tripping over the cat is both fun and frustrating
3) great graphics, tells you exactly what you need to know
4) I wasn't sure how to 'Enjoy the View' maybe stand still outside?. I thought I did exact storage, do the items need to be placed in in the order of the checklist?
Great game all in all, I've played a few times and I'll probably return to this to play some more later on
Thanks for such a well crafted review! I intended 'enjoy the view' to be a little bit of a riddle hehe but you got it, just stand still outside for 5 sec until the character starts looking into the distance. The exact storage is exactly 10 points in each food, utility and happiness meters. When you go over, it shows overfill as numbers ( 1, 5, etc.)
Again, thanks for the awesome review!
