Ranked from 32 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
A play on "stronger together" I decided to go the route of "stronger to gather". You will need to build up strength in order to gather all the ingredients needed for the village feast final dish!

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself. However, I did purchase pixel assets from the Unity Asset store to help as I am not very good at creating art.

Funny game, nice interpretation of the theme! I liked exloring the world, the characters were well made! A change I would make is having the player progress through the dialog with the spacebar instead of the mouse, that would feel more intuitive.

As many others have mentioned, the game was very clever and cute :D I loved all the characters, though my favorite is Robot :)
I think the game would be better if there was a mini-map and more dialogue for the characters since they are one of the highlights of the game!

Great pun! The game itself was very chill and nice to play, I loved the character's dialogs!

I only noticed a few drawbacks: the fact it's not possible to make the dialog progress with the space bar (it's not super annoying, but it would be nicer that way I think?) and sometimes getting stuck on flowers or tree or walls (but it was easy to get un-stuck). The music was relaxing, too, it makes for a chill experience.

Overal I found it really neat and very funny ^^

I see what you did there, very clever.

This was a fun game, liked the art, liked the characters, overall, neato! All it's missing is some keyboard shortcuts to buttons, would've been lovely to be able to progress dialouge boxes by just pressing space again.

Other than that, keep up the good work!

Nice writing

But that Eggplant was too big for me to pick up right away... so I was a little lost, but didn't mind.

What I didn't like:

  • It took me forever to figure out that I needed to hit Spacebar to interact with things. A little popup would have been nice!
  • Island was too big without a minimap ;(

What I liked:

  • Dialogue/Story
  • Music

Overall, although I typically hate fetch-type quest games, this one wasn't too bad because of the story.

Nice job!

Man! What a relaxing music! And the game is so cute! Only thing i notice is that the dialog keeps visible when i am far away from the char who said that.

Great job!

Very cute quick game! Your dialogue is hilarious. I loved lazy Joe. Interesting take on stronger together.

Developer

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun writing these characters haha lazy joe in particular. I’m glad you liked it, thanks for playing!

I really like the creative twist that you've made out of the theme with the wordplay "stronger to gather" :) Playing your game felt relaxing and the world you've created is absolutely adorable. The dialogues were super funny and made me laugh :D Great game, very well done!

Developer

Thanks so much that means a lot :) I was going for the relaxing vibe and glad you were able to experience it! Thanks so much for playing.

Lovely! Very relaxing and pleasant to play. It has an Animal Crossing vibe to it. Great work! 

Developer

Animals crossing definitely was a big inspiration for it! Thanks so much for playing and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

A nice cute and relaxing exploration game! The music was very pleasant too

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the game and got the relaxing exploration vibe. Thanks for playing!

A very cute little story! I loved exploring the island, but it was a bit big and bare. Maybe add a few little easter eggs in empty spots on the map to reward players for wandering around?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing my game! I agree that fixing the size of the map/adding more to it would make it a better experience. Thanks again!

The cute simple music really drew me in! I like the world & story you built (I appreciate the humorous fourth-wall breaking too haha) it's very much the farm RPG simulator feeling that I always love (e.g., Stardew Valley!)

Would love to see a map HUD to make exploring the space easier.

Thanks for sharing!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing my game! I’m glad you liked the feel and story of the game. It was way different from what I had done before and was fun exploring the new style. I agree a map in the HUD would make for much easier traversal. Thanks so for the feedback!

Simple but really good game, I feel relaxing during the playing. the art is soooo cute><

Developer

Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked the game and felt relaxed. That was the goal I was going for! ☺️

Very nice spin on the theme. I loved the calming audio playing during the game. Little jitter with moving but besides that, very fun.

Please try my game if you got the time :)

Developer

thanks so much for giving my game a play!! I'll give yours a try too. Thanks for the feed back!

Nice game! In my humble opinion, the territory could be made a little smaller. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and I completely agree. Would have done some better design with more time! Thanks for playing!

I loved the Farmer Joe forth wall line. And all  of the game was clever and fun. I do see a similar style of humor between our games. I enjoyed the simple game play but the large area and lots of characters to meet. Nice job

Developer

Farmer Joe was one of my favorite characters to write for. Thanks so much for playing!

*Why did i come to Tundra to farm* *I'm not a man in a chicken costume* You have a good sense of humor, that tranquill music made me mellow, the whole concept of being strong enough to pull out vegetables and berries is also pretty unique. I've enjoyed it so far. My criticism would be that the terrain is a little clunky and disorganized, and pushing space again doesn't continue the dialogue, so i had to press space and click it through with the mouse.

Developer

Thanks for giving it a play and for your feedback! I would definitely have worked on the terrain and environment more if I had more time. Thanks again :)
