Great job The Anderson Family! The art was cute and the little rotoscope animation at the end was awesome, lovely game

The goblin death animations were so satisfying

Really cute artstyle. Picking up/placing plugs and items felt kind of inconsistent, there were a lot of times I was trying to place things and it just wouldn't work out, and I spent more time kiting around the goblins than setting things up. Still, I'm sure once you get a feel of the proper game loop, it's a really solid game, so good work!

Oh, this was a great little game! I love the art style, the mechanics are cool, just a pleasant little experience!

I went a little light-crazy first time through and ran myself out of resources right quick, but got the hang of it! Very charming little game, fun little goblins!

I got a battery stuck in a charge station one time and I feel like sometimes you have to try a couple times to pick things up... And the music ended up playing over itself once, but nothing game-breaking. Still super fantastic, excellent work!

I’m aware of those bugs! I can’t patch them until after the jam ends. Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

This game was so much fun. I would definitely play a long form version of it. A few additions to the UI would have been perfect like an outline on the object youre about to pickup/connect but apart from this, great idea. Thanks for the game!

Developer

Great idea. I will definitely see to those improvements after the jam!

This is the fourth goblin themed game I play on this jam. Just further proof that goblins are real

10/10 game, you have to make a larger version of this.

Developer

Thank you! I might just do that.

Super charming little game. I'm glad I could save the couples good night sleep so they could have an amazing breakfast together. I wish the game was longer! Cheers

Developer

Thank you! We spent so long on the level design we couldn’t make the game much longer lol

Cool game! Thank goodness it’s not a horror game. The tutorial is really well-made. I’d love to see more levels.

Developer

Thank you! Took me a while to get the tutorial fleshed out especially with how the game mechanics are.

my game got really laggy after the tutorial level. Went to like 10 fps It looked really good and i liked the style, but I think there is some kind of memory leak going on.

Developer

I realized this too! If I had time to optimize it for the gamejam I would. I think it has to do with the character’s animations.

But thank you so much for checking it out!
