How does your game fit the theme?
It fits the theme by starting the game in an (almost) peaceful situation while there's the imminent, time-sensitive threat of the volcano's eruption. Quest-based gameplay (Calm) and the volcano eruption (Storm).
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We did everything* ourselves and mostly from scratch. Some code was reused as a base from previous projects and adapted to fit this game.
* Music, sound effects, and animations were not done by us.

maaaaan... this is some high quality work! graphics were 10/10. attention to detail was mesmerising (details like picking the flower and it goes on your hood, the frog too :D) also the dialogues were great, the fisherman saying ignorance is bliss is *chef's kiss*!
could use a minimap although after going through the areas a couple of times i didn't really need it.
i wish i had more feedback for you but you are making it difficult! great job!
Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it! Some sort of minimap would definitely help out. Especially at the beginning.
This was really cute! I loved the puzzles and the art style! Thanks for the fun experience!
Thank you for playing it! Glad you had fun

Holy shit great game! Love the little guys so much!!
Definitely would love to see more of this game ^^
Thanks!
I'll start with the (very little) I thought could be done better. I got lost pretty early on before catching my bearings, I think a minimap similar to Twilight Princess could have done wonders for helping people understand where they are in the level. The camera also felt a little jank here and there with some misplaced (assumedly) collision boxes leading to me getting the wrong angle for the area I was in from time to time. Finally in the final puzzle I felt hiding some crucial pieces behind the player was a little mean, most everything other than the village had the camera changing angle within your field of view so I wasn't prepared to look behind me at all.
Other than that I have no real complaints about the game. It was cute, serene, and had a lot of soul for a world built in only a week. Absolutely loved collecting frogs and I'll be sharing this game with my girlfriend when she gets home <3
I thought your solution to fitting the theme was right on the money. Your game was entirely the calm before the storm.
I'd love to see this game be iterated and improved on for a fully fledged product down the line, if the mechanics are just a bit deeper and the game longer I'd buy this without a doubt.
Thanks for the feedback! Those are really good points, definitely areas to improve on. Glad you enjoyed the overall vibe though!
Wow, incredible that you manage to make a small roleplaying game in that time window.
Cute frog hunt, and small quests.
I absolutely love the "lack" of UI and that all inventory items are shown on the character instead!
Great job!
Thank you!
Nice take on theme lovely art style, level design and aniamtions are nice and the little custscenes are really cool. Cool game here especially in the time limit
Thanks!
This is a good game . The 3d models are really cute.
Thank you
