Fun concept and great artstyle! You kept it nice and simple to make sure you got a solid and well rounded entry rather than overcomplicating matters. Tutorial really stood out to me as unique in this jam - great job!

Solid entry as per usual!! Great audio Jo :)

Really enjoyed the roguelike element and the fact there seemed to be downgrades as well as upgrades too. I couldn't find a single thing I disliked about the game. Very addicting and super well polished!

Amazing entry guys! Thanks for joining us again :)

Really solid entry and a good foundation to work on further if you decide to! Would like the ability to bolster the player... maybe the longer you go without dying gives some in game currency to give you upgrades... such as a torch that shows longer, gives a hint of where a trap is, shows the last taken path etc.

Good use of audio and you followed the theme well! :)

Thanks for jamming with us again! (and love the splash screen!)

Really good submission for 48 hours!! I could tell that perhaps you gave yourself too much to do.. but even do you made a really good entry. There's a good feel of progression within the game, and a very solid foundation for an excellent game if you work on this after the voting is ended.

Thanks for joining our jam!! :)

Cute little game with a lovely artstyle!!

You guys created a really great atmosphere! Good use of audio nd graphics to fit the theme. I can see where you were going and would love to play more if you worked on this after the jam. :)

Thanks for joining our jam!

Huuuge fan of the artstyle here! Gameplay felt really smooth and I really liked the take on the theme and the games storyline. You picked suitable audio and SFX and it created a really nice atmosphere. I've played it a few times now and really had fun doing so!

Thanks for jamming with us again :)

Loooove the artstyle and congratulations on the animation looking so smooth!

Had a few issues similar to other commenters - but you've done a fantastic job for 48 hours and could really tell what you were going for!

Thanks for joining our jam :) 

hahahaaaa thank you!! Voiced by me as per usual... I can't be stopped making a goofy lil guy!

my lil guy just loves the thrill of the scare

That's a pretty good time!! I think my lowest was 2:23 so far... but I'm sure I've played a lot more hahaha!

Hahahahaaa.... lil ghost loves to spook

Thank you!! :) 

Thanks for playing and for some great feedback! As always.... increasing some difficulty with each level WAS intended, but time limits come for all jammers eh! 

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing and for your lovely words... I voiced the ghost last minute and I'm so happy people are enjoying that silly little guy!! He lives for the thrill of the spook :)

thanks for playing!

Thank you! Ghost was voiced by yours truly... he loves the mischief! 

Thank you for your kind words :)

Thanks for playing, jamming, and streaming with us! :)

Thanks for playing!!

Absolutely incredible entry!! I'm astounded how well polished and complete this feels for a 48 hour jam. Are you a wizard?! Was almost sad the puzzle ended.. but also felt really accomplished to have solved it. Loved the atmosphere and the combination of puzzles and a bit of platforming etc..

Really well done. :) Thanks for jamming with us!

Congrats on your third jam! Love the use of the cutscene. Art style is charming and gameplay was fun. I think the addition of some sound effects along with fixing the music would really boost the atmosphere!

Good entry, well done!

Thanks for jamming with us :)

Congratulations on your first jam! Very cute little game. The character fit the tileset well and you followed the theme :) The concept is great for 48 hours!

Thanks for jamming with us. :)

Loooove the artstyle and how smooth the walking animation is. Very atmospheric with the lighting effects and sound. 

If you were to work on this further, I'd like to maybe see a menu screen and perhaps somewhere in game where it mentions the controls before the story (I had to go on the game page as I was trying wasd first whooops!!)

Really atmospheric and fits the theme perfectly. Well done! :)

GOTY contender. 100/10 xoxo

Hi there.

We can see that this game was made before the game jam opened, with things being changed specifically for this jam. This is against our rules - a new game must be made for the jam and so your game has been disqualified.

Thanks :)

Hi there.

We have sufficient belief that this game was made before the game jam opened. This is against our rules and so your game has been disqualified.

Thanks :)

You can use them, but you must declare that you have used premade assets/music/sound/ai generated code etc etc.

Hi!! You can ask on our discord server where we have a dedicated looking for team channel :) - https://discord.gg/GYzcnrhhEJ

It's a shame you didn't get to finish the gameplay aspect, I always enjoy your teams games! However, from what has been submitted I can tell I like the vibe of the setting. The art was cute and the animations and movement suited the sprites. The music was atmospheric and charming too. 

Please let us know if you work on this further! I'd love to see it :)

Really really enjoyed this game. The game play is great and it's such an interesting take on the theme. The humour is really great too. 

Honestly I spent a long time playing this and have come back to it several times!

oh the visuals are so charming!! Big fan of the gnomes for sure.

Again, like some others I had a little bit of a learning curve of what I had to do in places, and it got a little chaotic but I had fun playing it! Would love to play further if you updated it too :)

Thanks for jamming again!!

Really solid game - especially for a first time game and first time game jam! Well done guys. Props to your artist too, super cute visuals.

I agree that the game can be punishing, but entirely get that that's the idea you were going for. :) 

I don't know if it was just me - but the tutorial/readable at the start seemed to leave the screen kind of quickly without me clicking anything. If it is indeed timed (and not me realising I HAD pressed something!) It would be good to have a click to start motion, for those who are slower at reading or may get distracted between lauch and play. 

I can see in comments you mentioned it being a tetris with food type idea, so bringing back the visuals and readables indicating this would really help players!

A little bit of scaleable difficulty would be great too. Just to allow players to ease in and get to grips with the mechanics before those pesky birds ramp up their attack! A handy tip is to get people who know nothing of your game or how to play to play test - really helps you learn balancing, as sometimes as devs you can be really good at your own game through practise and automatically knowing what you should do!

Overall, really enjoyable game and a great base to jump off of when you say you want to continue working on it!
Thanks for jamming with us guys, and congrats on the first game jam!

Cute little platformer! I like the tomato guy and his mechanics! :) I'm not the best at platform games, but this was fun to play.

Thanks for jamming with us!

Fun game! Really satisfying audio feedback, and quite forgiving with the little bugs getting to the big plants which was nice. I liked the ability to scroll in and out for zooming. :)

Always love a tower defence game too, so much replayability!!

Thanks for jamming with us again :)

Really enjoyed playing this with Theo! We sometimes play an "analouge" version of this on planes/trains so it was great. 

If you worked on this further, I'd love to see the addition of unlockable backgrounds, increased grid sizes or maybe even pickups!

Thanks for jamming with us :)

A fun take on the theme for sure! A nice change to all the gardens, meadows and seeds. And - a different genre of game entirely, though I suppose music based is expected of the great Agent Jo!

Really enjoyed playing the game, graphics were cute, music was lovely and it really had a great feel to it!

One thing I would like to see would be the option to turn down the in game music a little just to hear the clicker a bit better, as I found testing it on different speakers/headphones affected how audible the clicker was to my ear.

Thanks got jamming with us Jo! Great game :)

Thank you for your thorough feedback! Really appreciate it and it shows you had a good play of the game. 

Just to let you know the difference between the carrot and the cactus... the carrot is a mele attack of "karate chopping" whereas the Cactus is ranged and throws his spikes as projectiles :) I definitely like the idea of adding somewhere that you can read up on the characters - however, as is always the case in game jams... time ran out!! :)

Had so much fun playing this! Really enjoyed it.

I liked the night time flowers, the different types of chicken and the overall pacing of the game. :) Really solid entry!

Thanks for jamming with us again! x
